Reaction to Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute) 

RU-vid should probably put label "Beware, Angelina Jordan singing may be very addictive" on all her videos. After first song you just can't stop listening.

OMG..that was predictable ! You are turning into an Angelina addict ! Welcome to the club.

She was 13yrs old here. Love seeing new reactions to this performance. Jaw dropping. Stunning.

I like the way she puts her hand out and points, it's like "watch, I'm pulling the trigger on this song".

Ha Ha Angelina got to you. Love David. I think she was 12 here. You should hear Its a Mans World. Wow.

And she did songs of this quality again and again.

There's a repeating pattern in reactions to Angelina - shock and surprise (if not chills and tears) time after time!

Since Whitney passed, I have been in mourning. I believe I can rejoice that the Good Lord has blessed us with AJ. I will never forget WH because I know she is looking down and smiling.

Angelina's breath control is phenomenal. When she brings this song to its' end she is so gentle it's like when my mother soothingly blew her cooling breath on my burnt skin.

Just the tip of the iceberg with Angelina Jordan. You have so many more to hear. Her library of work is massive, and every single thing she does is pure gold. She will never stop impressing you. I try to always leave this on someone's first Angelina reaction, but I'm running a little behind this week..... For anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. - Updates: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven" She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!

She's only 12 here... And maybe her first take on it. It wasn't perfect yet here but damn the emotions she puts in here are all on point. If she sings it today it will going to be walk in the park for her.

Breathe Dave! Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction, I knew you were going to freak, I believe she was about 13 when doing this video. Thumbs up sir.

Hey Dave-no one is going to let up on you until you watch I Put a Spell on You that Angelina did at nine years old. It might be the most amazing music video on RU-vid. It’s the black and white version you need to watch. It’s Angelina’s tribute to Screamin Jay Hawkins. It’s pure Angelina, taking a classic that you think is owned 100% by Hawkins or maybe Nina Simone and giving you her own take that leaves you speechless. It’s what Angelina’s fans lovingly call Angelina in beast mode. Now that you’ve heard three songs in a similar style, it’s time for you to see the range of vocal talent that Angelina can turn on like a light switch. It also shows Angie’s musical roots that grew straight from old time, old school jazz and blues. She can sing anything, but jazz is in her bones. I Put a Spell on You is like nothing you’ve ever seen or imagined. It’s a rite of passage for new Angelina fans.

I think this is a great example why Angelina is so good now at the age of 15. Many people are afraid and restrictive about everything. They say to themselves: I can't do this, I can't do that, nobody can top Whitney, or my voice is not enough, I'm not talented enough, I'm not ready for the stage yet, what would others think of me, I'll do it later,... But Angelina on the other hand made progress at the speed of light, why, because she was fearless, she tackled everything, she tried many different songs in many different styles, she didn't care what others think of her, she never thought she wasn't ready yet, she always did what she loved to do, she didn't wait for a 100 takes, she left it at 1-2 takes (quote from her former guitarist), she performed on stage since she was like 7 years old, and now look at her, she performs like a pro at the age of 15 already, because she got all that experience. And moreover, she proved that age doesn't matter when it comes to moving people with your singing.

U look so happy every time u hear our little angel. And she is 11 or 12 when she did that song .

She’s not 15 in this song , she’s 12!!!!! Amazing voice, an angel so unique, your goin lo love her!! Listen to her original Million miles and Seventh heaven!!! Written by her!! Just amazing!!!!

She was 12 years here or barely 13. No edits, no cuts, no tampering. Just honest, pure singing. Imagine this at 15!

Angelina Jordan is the most spectacular music artist of the whole world nowadays, due to several factors. First of all, her voice which is unmatched, unbeatable ,melodic, mesmerizing, magnificent , majestic and full of soul, and jazzy and in second place , she is such a Humble person as it is up to now, getting to every body's heart ; ever since she was a child (an infant) has shown that the beauty of a person can be in her own attitude,taking as example her kindness toward another child by her age,where poverty was not an insuperable wall to trespass to support and help another human been, that kind of dignity only can be find in a pure soul . And Because of that there are not many words to express the whole beauty she puts in her renditions, AJ is in a superior level ,above all of the other performers,no doubt about it. Thanks for the reaction.

This child is so amazing!!! She has such a majestic voice it's so polished and clean!!!

It's always funny to see someone react to Angelina for the first time. I will never ever forget when I heard Angelina singing Gloomy Sunday for the first time, when she was seven. I said (at home) together with the judge: In front of us here, we have a star. When she sang What a difference a day makes, and the outdoor version of summertime, (which is the best in my opinion), I said that these songs will become a part of music history. Now it seems that this is already about to become true.

The only singer who can make a grown man cry from her voice, you are going down a deep rabbit hole if you continue.

I'm so glad you discovered her as we did. I have been addicted now for 15 months. I love your reaction videos. She`s just the best.

I love watching you do your reactions. But this one was incredible! You looked like you you were trying to crawl right up out of your skin with joy! Great job! ❤

Don't be too surprised in 10 - 15 years from now Angelina is considered the GOAT singer.

If you want to be even more impressed then the song to listen to her sing is “its a mans world” the live version with the military band.

Been following this lady since she was seven...she is incredible...and just getting better and better...

I forgot to to share with you... I think you will get a kick out of her 1st time in a recording studio. It is unbelievable she is six years old. If you watch her closely you’ll see how excited she gets just to be able to sing that song and then she jumps back into character back-and-forth it’s so cute I think it’s called “I Who Have Nothing” . But as you can see I can’t live a day without watching Angelina Jordan and enjoying new peoples reactions to hearing her sing something for the first time and it’s actually a joy to watch you react to her!

love you and your reactions to our gift from god

Not many singers would set up the camera like she does she does all the arrangements herself she makes every song her own 🥇

Around her 13th birthday, Angelina decided to challenge herself with this cover and for me she passed the test. Have to wonder what Angelina herself thought. Now that we have this performance out of the way, I suggest you check out her live in concert performance of Adele's "When We Were Young".

Well... thats for the people saying "she got a low jazzy voice!" That young woman can do wtf she wants!

❤️ your reaction Dave and Welcome to Angelina’s world 👍🙂

There is no way to high 😎 With this song she show us, she can belt, but she didn't do it often, only when it's need for the song. Her roots are the old claccic jazz songs. Look at her first song on NGT. Gloomy Sunday.. Billy Holiday had found her at the age of 7y. That was a killer and blow you away again

She was 13 years old in this cover and not 15. Amazing!!!!

All of the great singers ho passed away for years send Angelina to continue their great work in music,and all of them are smiling in heaven,great react

Keep on rolling with Angelina!

Not everyone knows this, but Angelina is somewhat a protege of the composer of "I Have Nothing" David Foster. They first met in 2016 when Angelina released her book at age 10. Then there are videos of her near that age singing with David accompanying her on the piano. Also at a charity even in 2019 David accompanied her on the piano when she sang "I Have Nothing." I don't think too many artists have had that privilege.

Her little wave at the end... like it was easy for her. Crazy talent and skill.

Angelina is pure and unreal ♥

Fearless 12 year old - imagine her at 29 like Whitney was when she sang it!!! Thanks for the reaction.

Great reaction. Rusty Shackleford has a chronological playlist of Angelina from 6 years old to present. You should react to "I Put a Spell on You" b&w version when she was 9 years old.

Great Review! I think she was only 12 here.

Congratulations on recognizing Angelina's level of talent. After only 2 songs you're already committed to all of her songs. Angelina ~ from Prodigy to Phenomenon.

Your reaction never disappoints me. Your WOW reaction is exactly how I feel whenever I hear her sing. She’s a gift from God to us all.

She was 12, 12 years old here...!

Another one bite the dust!! Angle dust!!! Enjoy this amazing journey!!😍

Well there you go, 13 years old!! Just be prepared to keep having your mind blown, perhaps " I put a spell on you" when she was 9, 8million plus views! Love your reactions!

Angelina Jordan saying it’s a man’s world outstanding

You're not the only one who broke their own rules and watched her sooner than they scheduled.

It was worth a million to see the delighted amazement and happiness on your face! She is mind-blowing and kills it time and time again! What was Whitney capable of doing at 12 or 13? She was about 29 when she did this song!

AJ performed this song at a charity event with David Foster who wrote and produced this song for Whitney. Won a Grammy for it.

Best singer in the world complete package any genre any style always dripping with emotion a prodigy appreciate it while you can

I’m just an old 70 year old white dud and I love Angelina and I love your reactions.

This child is 13 and she is like a super, high quality music machine , you pick the song , punch in the numbers and sit back and be amazed at the beautiful music that comes out . Great reaction 🤣

I am number 157 to LIKE 💜 I am sure if Whitney Houston is with us today and hears Angelina singing her song, she will cry from happiness!

This young lady inspires me to be a better person everyday.

You make me so happy just watching your reactions, Angelina does the same thing to me.

13, she's 13 in this video. Now she's 15. I'm so happy to see how happy she is making you.

That was fun watching that permanent smile on your face

I think it's important to keep in mind this talented little lady is Norwegian, and English isn't even her first language. To sing a song in another language and communicate its lyrics and emotion so well is amazing.

You have fallen into the spell of our princess! 😘 And she was just 12 years old there! 😉

Great reaction man you get all the Angelina buzz.Try I Put a Spell on you studio version for a shakeup of what's humanly possible for a 9year old and I'm not exaggerating in the least.

Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!

She was 12 here, this is her "music corner" in her home and she is managing the track and her sound system.

Only three videos in of Angelina, and you have made your way into the top of my favorite list of reactors. Your excitement is so contagious, I love that. We will have so much fun following you on this journey. Its difficult to suggest only one, but try "What a difference a day makes", from when she was 8. You will love it. Thank you, Dave 👍😊

You got the hear her rendition of, I’d rather go Blind.. or it’s a Mans world live on stage.

Her tribute to Whitney Houston is in deep love for an outstanding artist who took the whole world. Thank you America for Whitney Houston she is in our Scandinavian hearts preserved in eternal love. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Sir and thank you America for sharing our gift Angelina from Norway to you❤️ We love you ❤️❤️❤️

"There's no way she's doing that..." You will react like this again and again when you're listening to Angelina! Btw... she's 13 here!

Personally I think you are going to have so much fun reacting to this angel, it's going to truly blow your mind. In music she is the closest thing to a drug I've ever seen. We are all hooked on her.

Angelina Jordon is living proof of Jesus love for all of His children. A living gift from God. Thank you for your heartfelt reviews. May God continue to bless you.

I'd like to hear her sing this now, since she did this over 2 years ago.

Hello David... Saludos de nuevo desde GRANADA; ESPAÑA: Hoy quiero felicitar a dos personas. .... A Angelina Jordan por su magnifica interpretación de I Have Nothing, creo que con su edad mejor que la de la propia Whitney Houston ( vocalísta que yo he adorado siempre. ) Pero Angelina es geniál,,absolút. y la 2º felicitacaión para TI, estimado DAVID. CReo que haces un programa maravilloso y con un 100 por cien de acierto y honestidad en tus comentarios. Ya tienes por aquí bastantes seguidores y yo contribiiré a que sigan sumando más. Bay David, hasta otro rato, Saludos y cuidate....

She’s 13 yo here. Angelina turned 15 yo Jan 2021. Man, you are Great! I find my self imitating your expressions. LOL.

If you keep watching this young lady you are in for a rare treat:) Artists like her are wery rare and i am happy to see she keep true to her heart as she is signet to a label now too:)

We've all laughed at this joke - but AJ's work brings me this feeling: "Help - I've fallen and I can't get up!" Of course, this was about 3 years ago.

Yours are my favourite Angelina reactions,you dont just hear her voice you feel it,keep it going

Now for more tests: “I’d rather go blind” and “It’s a Man’s Man’s World” and “I put a Spell on You” and...

I've watched you twice and I'm still tearing up. After reading all the comments I'm still shook up. Please please please listen to Rusty and pay more than the usual attention. Rusty Shackelford can increase and enhance your experience. Ambassador Rusty, and many more angels at your fingertips to help. Thank you again God bless you and your family David

Dave, I've listened to a crazy amount of reactions especially all the reactors who listen to Angelina. Dave, your reaction was spectacular! You had me smiling with you the whole song and, of course, I knew she was going to hit all the notes. I think you qualify already as an Angelina "Angel"! Join the rest of us (millions) on her journey to a place where most artists can only dream about reaching. By the way, I believe she was 12 years old doing this. Dave, there is so much for you to listen to. You have to go to Norway's Got Talent. She appeared on the show at 7 years old and turned 8 during the taping of the show. I know you said you were not really into listening to such young people. Okay, I understand. Dave, believe me, you will not want to miss Angelina's performances on this show. I'll give you a hint of what you will hear. On one particular song you will not know who is singing. Is it Billie Holiday or is it Angelina Jordan?

She won Norway,s talent show at 7 years old❤️

This was her first time with a " belting" song, her answer to reactors who thought she couldn't do it. She certainly proved them wrong😊 And standing sideways is because in her cover of Million Years Ago her followers told her they wanted to see her face when she sang ( and some reactors thought it was fake or lip sync).

I just love the look of pure bliss on your face while you're listening to Angelina!

Whitney Houstons version is ICONIC BUT Angelina Jordans cover is the best coverversion i have ever heard!

Thank you for your Angelina “evangelizing” at work! I’m convinced that by the end of 2021, EVERYONE will have heard of Angelina (“Jordan”, by then, will be optional😜👍)!

So gifted.

This is the only song I have ever heard her sing that felt like she really had to work hard to sing it, which is understandable because of the difficulty of this song. To even attempt this song at 13 shows the confidence she has in her ability, and that confidence is very justified. Of course she KILLED IT! I have to believe Whitney is looking down from above, smiling from ear to ear and beaming with pride seeing this performance.

Your,too funny 😄 she is so,special/. I listen to AJ everyday. Great reaction

It's soo good to have another exelent reactor reacting to Angelina. Thank you.

Couldn't wait guess I should be surprised

Thank you for doing a double reaction to Angelina Jordan. She is gonna be a legendary singer in the furture just mark my Word . Love to hear that you gonna go all back to where she first appeared on Norway got talent at the age of 7 years old and she won Norway got talent at the age of 8 years old and since since that taken the world with storm . She has been on american got talent the Champions season two and blow them away with the song boheiman rhapsody by queen. Thank you for reacting to my all time favorite singer Angelina Jordan.

I loved your reaction !!! I am truly a fan of Angelina !!!

She is A maaaa ziiing!!

Angelina was 13 in this video, today at 15 I believe she could kill this song. She has a new release called "7th Heaven" and a new cover out in the last few days, Adelle's song "All I Ask".

She’s probably been practicing every day since she was 1 -2 years old she has “wanted” this since then and set about deliberately practicing (not all good) but with deliberate practice and dedication you achieve mastery, she’s masterful but will no doubt continue to grow she’s a classy individual who continues to deliver class acts. Glad I found your channel and someone else who appreciates Angelina love 💕 your reactions keep them coming, you have a fan in Australia 😊

LOL, you just couldn't wait could you... :~) Love those squeaks baby! btw, her birthday is 01-10-2006, so it's usually easy to guess her age. A notable exception is "I Put a Spell on You" b&w version which was release after many months after she recorded it at age 9yr2mo.

Love watching you react to Angelina. Hope they had a defibulator on standby.

What a great reaction! ... and let me say: You will never be disappointed listen to Angelina Jordan - even listening to her earliest videos like "I, Who Have Nothing" she sung 6 yo (link see my comment to your first reaction video to AJ ;-) )

IM COMPLETELY STUNNED!!!!!!!!🤭😲🥱💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Oh amigo you stand out love your reactions👏👍🤘🇨🇱

Yes, David. She went there. Three years ago. And rattled your cage today.
