This is considered one of if not the best performance by a 9-year-old ever. Norwegian, Angelina Jordan, is the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. Angelina is an old soul in a young body. She is our Barefoot Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all. She had been working with this, her full-time band, for almost a year at this point. The band was hired after she won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. You have no idea what you have discovered with this young lady. She was 18 on January 10th. There is much to know about her and we Angels, as she calls her fans, will educate you as you react to her music, both original, and covers. She has always, even here, arranged her own music. She maintains that ability in her contract with Republic Records even now. Her first recording studio visit was at age 6. Enjoy the experience, she is like none ever! Oh, and by the way, English is her third language of 4!
This is the best hobby I've ever taken up,watching someone reacting to Angelina Jordan's rendition of "Screaming"Jay Hawkins "I Put A Spell On You",specially,when the person reacting to the video realizes that they've just witnessed something that should be impossible for a 9 year old girl to do at that level of excellence,Angelina Jordan is on another level
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
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 Adagio, +++. Jaw-droppers all, each deservedly with their own rabid fan base. Dimash, Diana, and Angelina are the "Prodigy Trifecta." Get ready for a huge response to these three. Subbed.
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
A few crazy things include at 9 she knows how to manipulate her mouth and jaw to produce sounds she should not be able to produce. Not only perfect pitch and timing but she does her own arrangements. The greatest performance ever and the band calls her The Boss.
That's 9. How about 6 years old. I WHO HAVE NOTHING. First time in the sound booth the cams are nearly as big as her head. Reading and singing in English then calmly discussing in her native Norwegian how she fluffed 1 line.
She was actually 7 when she sang that. Her new left tooth is in IWHN a bit longer than in Gloomy Sunday. This has been proven by zoomed-in photos. She is still incredible, I'd recommend to watch that video as well too.
@@Sarah-bc8rjp976 well when I first watched it, it said 6. Not based on any dental guess work. Love your enthusiasm but If we are talking physiognomy you can see her facial characteristics are younger too. This is the second time you have put this comment. Does it really matter she is noticeably younger than her NGT performance.... does it really matter in the big scheme of things,?
@@Sarah-bc8rjp976 every time you say that about her tooth. I based the age on when I first saw the clip and its description when I first started watching her. As a portrait painter I think her face looks bolder in NGT, pull up an image of her face NGT and this, side by side. You will see its younger. So unless a member of her family tells me differently I will continue to believe the description on the first post not a tooth theory. Shall we just each chose to believe what we each believe. There are other comments you can make.
Recomendation ?? .. you can litterly pic any Song by Angelina .. you can't go wrong .. as every Song has a different Surprise .. in short .. Expect the unexpectet .. Angelina is different and make the difference any time .. "What a Difference a Day make" would be my first suggestion .. at Alsang pa Grensen in Summer 2014 live at age 8 a few Month after she won Norways got Talent ..
Yes, that performance of Dinah Washington's Grammy winning song, What a Difference a Day Makes, by 8 yo Angelina was one of the first performances I saw of her when I discovered her 6 years ago & it remains one of my favorites to this day. There is no way an 8 yo can do that, except she did!
A jazz masterpiece. Angelina Jordan at 9 years old delivering an absolutely unbelievable jazz performance. The vocal nuances, inflections, dynamics, raspiness, and vibrato from this nine-year-old are insanely exceptional. . Her understanding of an iconic jazz song like this is what makes her a child prodigy and also a musical genius. I want to thank you personally for your unbelievably heartwarming and wonderful reaction to this video. This is the reaction that most I'd say actually everyone gets when they see this video. Even seasoned vocal coaches are a gasp when they see this and only have unbelievable complementary comments. I agree most of us are lost for words. Keep posting my friend and if you get a chance I would suggest Angela at 10 years old singing. live in concert. "Feeling Good". This is another mind-blowing performance by Angelina and all of them. I guarantee you all of her videos will give you the same feeling. She's an old soul and we angels as we are known love her dearly. Sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
One of the common questions by reactors on hearing her for the first time is something in the order of ..... "Why haven't I heard of her before?" .. the answer is that while she has performed at special and charity events her family has kept her largely out of the limelight .. allowing her to grow up relatively normal (well .. as normal as any prodigy has I suppose). She turned 18 Jan 10th and expect to see her explode on the world stage. There is some question as to how large an explosion that will be .. the crap that people listen to tells me that not everyone can appreciate talent over autotuned garbage.
Hello from Montreal,Quebec,Canada Congratulations on achieving “Angel” status (aka: those who react to both Bohemian Rhapsody & I put a spell on you) Welcome to the world of the “Barefoot Princess” (soon to be Queen as she has just turned 18) So much soul, and one who most likely to sing the title song of a future James Bond Film. You should also react to: -Angelina at 12 singing “How Great thou Art” - you will believe a female Elvis exists -Angelina at 13 singing her original song “Shield” - could easily fit a James Bond movie -Angelina at 16 singing “Suspicious Minds” - her voice getting stronger and stronger -Angelina 17 in December 2023 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony “Unchained Melody” Ps- Also enjoy your reactions on all things Canadian
Thanks for the beautiful and stunned reaction, 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. 💛🧡❤
Angelina 9 yo. Look at her! She controls the entire recording. She has the power and ability to carry this out. The fact that she then has an outstanding fantastic voice and theatrical body language only makes everything even better. The musicians are also amazingly good. They give everything to complete this masterpiece! This little Norwegian girl reads the English lyrics while singing! She is from Norway and they speak Norwegian there. English is Angelina's 3rd language! Already at 5-6 years old, she understands exactly what is meant in the English lyrics! Incredible! A genius at work. I am so happy for everything she gives me. / a Swedish Viking.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on RU-vid. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RU-vid went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RU-vid video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RU-vid. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RU-vid, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi.
What's even more crazy is that she wrote the composition. That's what the guy in the beginning was smiling about. Apparently, the band started referring to her as Boss.😂🎉
Angelina is one of the best singers out there right now in my opinion. Ofcourse there is many good singers. But Angelina make you feel the songs the way not many others do. She became 18 a few days ago. And all the things she have acheived until now is amazing. Angelina have around 200 covers(all mindblowing) and sevral original songs aswell. I recomend you to read up about her and you will understand her greatness. I been a fan of hers for 8 years and i never get tierd of her voice
I would recommend two others that each, in their own lane, bring something MORE to their performances than ANYONE else, IMHO: Ms. Courtney Hadwin (12+ months older) and Ms. Daneliya Tuleshova (6 months younger). Courtney at 12 yo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aUgke-UydXo.html Daneliya at 10 yo (be SURE to turn ON the 'CC' button in YT for English subtitles): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jGUqIU6u8Ew.html
@@givingin2G4Courtz I said not the best, but "ONE of the best". I respect your opinion but IMO they are more show then connecting to what they singing. And i don´t say they are bad singers
I think one of the most amazing aspects of this performance at age 9 is,if you follow her before this and after,you realize,that the way she sang on "I Put A Spell On You",that not even her singing style,her style is more refined,more subtle. This shows that even at that early age that she can sing anyway she chooses and still thrive and she's a master at interpreting and capturing the very essence of the song she's singing Angelina Jordan has the potential to be the best even
At the beginning u c her writing on a piece of paper and a few seconds later u c a man reading something … Angelina had “kindly” asked him to plse make a couple of cgs to the piece … Kindly is not my word but that of the man’s reading it … he told someone that she was being VERY KIND when requesting the cge in the song … who at that age has the control to cge ANYTHING but apparently A has had control of it all since the very beginning … nothing goes into her music w/out her say … or so the story goes … U HAVE to give her people huge huge credit where it belongs … they did not push her, they allowed her to b a child and c the world thru a child’s eye and what emerged is what u c today … an angel fr above, an incredible young woman who has been granted a gift few of us mere mortals possess … a genuine young woman who has grace, humility, integrity, kindness, loyalty and lives life in an honest caring way … a true rare gift indeed … how very fortunate the rest of us r … I for one am extremely grateful for having witnessed it all and shall continue to do so T/U Miss A Be well 🐥🇨🇦🐥 Hugs to all❤

OMG... One of my favorite reactors responds to one of my favorite singers! First, I have to mention that I always greatly appreciate your humorous reactions to certain aspects related to Germany -- and now you finally arrived at Angelina Jordan. I'm truly delighted! There are already so many comments that I don't have to add any more information on this incredibly "talented" (if that's even an appropriate term) human being. You could -- and you certainly can -- react to hundreds of her outstanding performances, but if there's only a few of them you would like to pick, I'd recommend "It's a man's world" (the enhanced outoor performance when she was 12 years of age), "I'm still Holding out for You" (a leaked demo version performed at 10) and "Now I'm the Fool" (one of her her original songs: the black-and-white video from last year at 17 years old). However, watching only these three in addition to the two covers you've reacted to already won't do her justice. You decide, but I dare to predict that you'll be pulled into her rabbit hole anyways... Enjoy and be flabbergasted over and over again. I'm looking forward to your next reactions. BTW, goosebumps, tears or any other physical responses are just normal when listenting to the barefooot angel. All best from Germany
🎉🎉🎉 NORWAY'S GOT TALENT I've attached the link to the audition she made on Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7.

Hi! You may not have come across this performance, where she "Hurt" at the VAD Festival on 1st Dec 2013: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZtrOenDt0aY.html (One of the very few public performances where she is wearing shoes)
You can tell people how good she is, but until you hear her, it's kind of hard to believe all the hype. You can introduce her singing at any age and it's the same thing. It's not just a matter of her being good for a 7, 8, 9.........year old. She's just flat out an amazing singer;) You add her heart, humbleness, artistry, etc, and she's unmatchable;)
I think this is absolutely fantastic! Angelina and the guys do this together. A treat for everyone who appreciates good music with "feelings". I have it on my top 100 list of the ones I appreciate the most of all Angelina's recordings! I have 100 on that list because I can't get it down to less!
Excellent reaction! So she was only 9 years old here. Check her out at the ripe old age of 10. "Feeling Good," and then maybe "I'm holding out for you". That was a leaked demo.
What you just heard that jazz band party was Angelina's composition. Yes .. she's nine .. still blows my mind and I've seen it at least a hundred times ...
Angelina sings to my innermost being! Feelings that I didn't know existed, wake up and make themselves known to my normal, rather media-savvy, personality. Angelina enriches my life in many ways.
There’s a video of Angelina singing with a mic in her crib at 1 1/2 years old. When she was very young she and her grandma Mery would watch RU-vid jazz videos of greats like Billie Holliday and others and then she was enrolled in an after school music program where she learned to read, deconstruct, and rearrange music and play several instruments including the piano and guitar, which she still plays. Angelina has trained her voice 4-6 hours a day every day since she was three years old, the only voice lessons being how to take care of and not damage her throat.She was born with immense talent but also works extremely hard at her craft. A lot of people have the mistaken impression that her abilities are a “gift from God”, when in fact she inherited her musical talent from her mother Sara and has worked her butt off to get where she is. She NEVER gets enough credit for how hard she has worked the last 15 years, she just turned 18.
Angelina Jordan recently turned 18 years old. Please listen to her at the Noble Peace prize concert which was an awesome dedication to imprisoned winner of the Noble Peace prize. You can follow her amazing development through the years because she has done a couple hundred covers from young age to recently. I am aware about 12 original songs all written by her available to listen too. An album called "old enough" is excellent. She apparently has written 100+ other songs. She's a beautiful young musical genius emerging into superstardom. This is the time for the label to promote her which is very exciting.
I'd recommend Suspicious Minds cover next. That way you can hear her a little more grown up. Then you can bounce back and check out something like fly me to the moon. Of course, anything you hear from this barefoot Princess is going to blow you away.
I've often told people that the only way to explain how she could be so good at whatever age you're watching her is to watch her at a younger age, to see how good she already was then.😊 And if you ask me, it's "turtles all the way down", in that regard. Not that you don't eventually get down to an age where her singing could be (sometimes, at least) fairly described as more or less normal for her age (some stuff at 5-7), but if you keep going all the way down to (as far as we know) the _very first time_ she was recorded singing, at 1½, you can still see (IMO) there was already, at that time, something very special about her. A 2017 magazine article described the moment when her mother discovered Angelina could sing (or, at least, the moment when she discovered she could "really sing", if you get the difference - I don't know whether she ever tried to sing before then). Translated from the original Norwegian: "Oslo, an evening in July 2007: One and a half year-old Angelina is at home with the babysitter. Her mother, Sara Astar, lets herself in and nearly goes into shock when she peeks into the bedroom. In bed sits her daughter mumble-singing Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You.' It sounds so nice, Sara thinks, and senses something more in her daughter's voice. A peculiarity she fails to define there and then." In a 2014 TV "news" story about Angelina, Sara said of that moment, "It was so sweet, I just had to record it." Apparently that very recording was posted (in a slightly odd edit) to TikTok recently. Before that, we only had a short 24-second clip of it included in that news segment. The TT runs over 6 minutes, but starts to repeat (but not everything, exactly) midway through. Here is the obligatory repost of it to YT, by a fan: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pefir9zeOnw.html To see all the relevant bits without all the repeats, watch up to around 3m17s, then jump to around 5m29s and watch the next 9 seconds or so (up to the next edit). But to get the "full effect" of the video, I think you have to be a little more familiar than you are now with "her habits" while singing - i.e., aspects of her "physicality" - because then you will recognize some of those in baby Angelina. Maybe you could file this comment away somewhere and come back to it after you've seen some of what I call her "live at home" covers, at ages 11 and 12, found on her CoverChannel. For example, "Million Years Ago" would be perfect, IMO. And "Feeling Good" live on _The Stream Gir Tilbake_ at 10 (on her Official channel) would be good preparation, as well.
I never get tired of this one. Even after literally several hundred times hearing it, I am in awe of what she does here at 9 yo. I love to watch reactors new to her react to this one.
Hi, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song and she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime, You're Standing in the beginning and I hope you will embark on the further journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world is my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me, you will be just as addicted like all other fans (Angels) by her voice, she is also called the barefoot angel with the 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is a different story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only around 200 covers but also 12 originals written by her and 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, By the way, she is now 18 years old
😊😊😊😊 Please next from Angelina Jordan: "Bad Valentine" The newest song from Angelina is the rawest and most amazing song I've ever heard. We know that Angelina is a super mega vocalist, but this was so good and powerful that it can't actually be described in words.
When I first heard this, I played it for everyone without showing them the video. The I told them to guess who the singer is. Some very interesting guesses😂❤️🔥🇨🇦😇
A great reaction!!! I love watching new reactors listening to this performance. Everyone is in the same disbelief and loss for words like I was when I first heard it. I must have listened to this performance by Angelina at least a hundred times. To better understand how she can be so good at 9 yo you should listen to her singing for the first time in a studio ”I who have nothing” at the age of 6. Just amazing!
And she’s nine years old and this and the song really the song by screaming Jay Hawkins and 56. He was a blues singer so she watched him and this is what she gets to her vision
Thank you for your enjoyable reaction. This performance by Angelina, who had just recently turned 9 years old, produces the best reactions of any music video on RU-vid, in my opinion. We can spend the remainder of our lives trying to understand how it was possible. Angelina said music found her. No doubt she embraced that gift in all its glory. For me, her music is beyond great because it has improved the quality of my life. I am sure there are other people who would say the same about another artist, but I know there are thousands of others who feel the way I do about Angelina and her music.
Everyone who listen to this rendition, doesn't believe what he is watching and listening, like it was a fake ! Eveything is perfect in this Angelina's version ! (but what is not perfect really from AJ !) An other crazy thing, it's how this band, so professional, gets involved in it, for just a little nine old years girl !
Boy oh boy are you in for a treat, almost every performance in some way shape or form is spectacular. You have a "Lot" of reactions to due so don't hang around! get listening and reacting. Love it!
Cheers from Aut🦘🇦🇺Great reaction Angelina now has more than 200 covers including own compositions as a fan I’m always looking for new reactions to her as are he fans. Follow her and see this artist growth from age 6 to age 18 it’ll take you a couple of years and you’ll pick up heaps of her dedicated fans ( Angels ) as subscribers growing your channel like you wouldn’t believe
This is why Norwegians are trained to be humble and not brag. You don't break the rules until you can break the concept and then you go big. I see both Angelina and Magnus as examples of why you should let the children play. I don't care if you call that socialism or Child Power. I just know that Henrik Wergeland was right. The difference between Norway and the world will continue to grow until the world understands _why_ Norway does things differently. China wants to teach us that obedience can make anything happen. I don't believe it. I strongly disbelieve it. You can forge a good chess player or forge a good singer, but nothing like them. Nothing is more beautiful than an old man planting an apple tree who's cider he will never taste. If you can understand why Henrik Wergeland went up against Nicolai Wergeland and how he succeeded in doing so, then you will understand everything about Norway.
Even if people turned the volume off you can tell instantly what the reactors thinking ! The disbelief of what their hearing coming from a little kid ! It's always a look of confusion then amazement ! I never get tired of seeing it happen .... nice reaction and go Angelina !!
Thank you for featuring Angelina again. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on RU-vid, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below, (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. (k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying. (l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella! Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Original singer was Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, 1956 a blue Sanger I need your news from Norway. He speaks several languages, multiple languages, English, and other first language he plays several instruments well in piano.
She put this together all by herself! Listen to Screamin Jay Hawkins who gave her the inspiration to compile this version all by herself😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
