This girl 9 year old has as much soul in her voice as a 60 year old mama from the hood!!! Damm!!! Can not wait to hear more from her i the future and se where she brings it.
Welcome to the best Rabbit Hole in existence, enjoy the ride, by the way she was 9 for this performance! Best singer that ever was, more musical tools in her singing toolbox than any other singer ever! She also changes her voice to fit the song she arranged to sing to get the most emotion out! She is a musical genius capable doing this as flipping a light switch! God Bless!
Hey, it's okay no one can sing it like that. She was 9 and two months old here so in any case welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina the princess of jazx music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and there is a reason you will learn about her later as I guarantee it enjoyment of any performance in any of her songs or cover versions she did...
Angelina Jordan was 9 years old when this song was recorded. It was a tribute to Screamin Jay Hawkins who was quite a character. Most of the times he performed the song rising from a coffin in a voodoo style. Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong. Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down. Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan. Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions. At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities. Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come. Thank you for reading and I subscribed
@@RogueRxyce I Put a Spell on You performance is Angelina with an attitude. For a softer performance let’s go back to 2014. Eight years old Angelina Jordan standing alone on a stage in the middle of a sea of people and fearlessly delivering a Dinah Washington version of the song What a Difference a Day Makes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZSfgCIGd7k4.html This is a great song to react to next. Thanks again.
@@deborahbryan3639 not only a once in a generation singer, she is a very humble, classy, and caring human being. If you want to hear how she sound today, here is her cover the song When You Believe by Whitney Houston ft. Mariah Carey. She is taking a song by 2 vocal powerhouses and turning it into a heartfelt message of hope. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uAlVzI8-5hQ.html I hope you enjoy it.
Copied from another comment, In an interview Angelina said later (then 10yo) about this song: "It means love! Desperate love. It's very special, it's almost voodoo! The original is very nice, and when I scream it is a desperate cry that everyone should love each other."
Hello rogue. Welcome to Angelina's "Rabbithole". I also wish you many happy, but also sad moments here on the pages. I tell you it's worth it. May I recommend her own songs to you? And get ready, what Angelina sings, no interpreted, was always sung by Angelina with all her soul and of course is sung too. So once again, welcome!
If you haven't seen her sing on Norway's Got Talent with English subtitles. She sings Gloomy Sunday, Billie Holiday, Gerswwin Ella Summertime, Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang. Their all amazing and Summertime just may kick on the water works.
Angelina is a musical genius. In fact she was 9 years old when she recorded this. She has 5 originals: '7th heaven', 'Million Miles', 'Shield', 'Oslo' and 'What is life' and more than 130 covers. She chooses and arranges the songs since she was 7 years old at least. She is fantastic.
Her cover rendition of... It's a Man's World at I think 12 is incredible. Another piece an original written for her at 10! Is insane, I'm still Holding Out for You. You get a real feel for the Jazz that lies within.
I've had to listen and watch this three times to believe what I'm seeing and hearing. A 10 year old with the vocal range, soul and control of seasoned jazz singer? I going to have to punch myself in the kisser to make sure I'm not dreaming this.
Please you must react to "The Teskey Brothers" "Rain"... from The Colors Show. You will be absolutely blown away with the soul from this Australian band. Think of Otis Redding reincarnated. These guys are possibly the very best modern day soul music today. The Band is two brothers and two friends. The lead singer is Josh Teskey. You have to trust me on this..! BTW, I love your reactions.. So heart felt and honest.
"I'd rather be blind"!!!! Might be the best cover of this Etta James song. I don't want to spoil it. But seeing this young twelve year old girl sitting on the living room couch performing this classic so effortlessly is simply mind boggling.
I believe there is an Angelina Jordan fanclub in the hereafter of the great vocalists Angelina has covered with integrity, respect, and unmatched talent. Scresmin' Jay, Whitney, Ella, Etta, Sassy, Ninah, Dinah, Frank, Elvis, Patsy, Amy, Satchmo, Avicii, Freddy, and more. Over 130 covers, plus several AJ originals. I hope you are just getting started, because I really enjoy your reactions (watched 3 so far and subscribed).
I cant wait for the day Angelina is released to the whole world , she will have a huge army of loyal and loving fans behind her ready to protect and clear the path of wrong doers for she will be the Best of all times :)

The wat her hands go up in the air is such an old soul iconic singer she feels this ,usic? NOTE AT THE BEGINNING OF TJE SONG YOU SEE HER MAKING SOME CHANGES TO TJE MUSIC TJEN YOU SEE THE MUSIC CONDYCTOR LOOKING OVER HER NOTES MUSICAL ADJUSTMENTS OH YEAH SHE COULD READ AND WRITE MUSIC AT THIS AGE , YOU SEE THE CONDUCTOR LAUGH BECAUSE HE IS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AT HER INTELLECT HER KNOWLEGE OF THIS MUSIC! BLOWN AWAY!
You probably already know this by now... The picture she shows in the very beginning of the wild looking guy with the bone thru his upper lip is "Screamin' Jay Hawkins"...he wrote and first performed this song in 1955 and Angelina is pretty much matching his arrangement.
LOL... I see a reaction to this girl, singing this song, and I stop everything I'm doing and just sit back and listen, and watch the face of the reactor. As is the case 99.9% of the time, I was giggling like a little girl and wiping away the happy tears running from my eyes. I've been following this young lady for around 6 years now, and have listened to all of her songs dozens of times, so now, I look for reactors just discovering her, and I become one of their subscribers, to watch their journey. Actually, Angelina was 9 years and 2 months in this video. The arrangement is her own, the candle she was holding was Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the original singer of this back in 1956. She is barefoot because when she was 6, she was on vacation in the Middle East with her Grandma, and met a girl about her own age, weighing people on scales to try to earn money. Angelina befriended this homeless orphan girl, and when seeing her scarred, bare feet, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl said she would pray for Angelina each day, and Angelina made a promise to herself that she would never wear shoes in public while singing, to remember this girl and bring awareness to all the children in need. Hopefully Rusty Shackleford will show up, he has a bio for all new reactors that hits everything you need to know. As I said, I am subscribing, and as long as you follow Angelina, I will follow you. She is the only reactions I watch, even though my taste in music is varied. Great first reaction! Maybe you should jump ahead 6 years to the present and check out her latest release, that she wrote, called "7th Heaven". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM8DzMRbiIc.html
here she is 9yo old, she has rearranged the whole song, the original is from Screamin 'Jay Hawkins 1956 all the bands she plays with call her "The Boss" because she sets the tone but in a very respectful way she is 15yo today There are over 130 covers by all the popular stars as well as classic and 5 originals that she wrote herself (google translater)
Yes, this has become a classic on its own. Here, Angelina, at 9 yrs 2 mos old, has captured the essence of the original song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956 in her arrangement. In the intro you can see her writing out and passing last-minute changes to the arrangement to a member of the band. They may have gone in that day and been taken aback by playing for a nine-year-old, but by the end of the day they were calling her, "The Boss." After auditioning for Norway's Got Talent at seven and winning it at eight, she was literally a professional by age 9! Now, at fifteen, she has written 5 songs, sung two written for her, and covered about 135 other songs of 70 different artists. She is signed to Republic Records. She is the real deal.
Angelina Jordan what a voice! Found your videos couple days ago, love the way you appreciate the 70's, the 80's, keep on with the good work, you have something special here my friend!
I'm so glad you took on my suggestion to react to AJ. Thank you! Get ready to enjoy the most extraordinary musical and spiritual journey of your life. ❤
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now (and you know it!). You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl (yes, she just turned 9yo here) can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). She starts low, rising in intensity throughout and finishes in an unexpected and practically operatic style. You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

She typically doesn't sing more of this kind of songs, because she was told to preserve her voice. So I'm waiting for her to get older and for her voice to mature completely to hear a comeback of this singing style! For now, she is honing her skills, diversify herself, so that she will be able to tackle any of the most challenging songs in the future. In this journey, she is taking us along with her through her many beautiful and unique renditions~
See her at 6 singing "I Who Have Nothing " in the recording studio at her school. I think this is when her parents decided to let her go on Norway's Got Talent. She was ready. She wanted to sing for Simon since she was 3. Finally at 13 she got her chance.
Even more incredible than her magnificent voice is her amazing heart. Do read the comments about why she performs barefoot. As you travel down the road of Angelina discovery, the thing you will notice is that she will surprise you almost every time. It doesn't matter whether she's singing jazz, blues, rock, pop, gospel, EDM, or whatever genre she chooses. She has a multitude of voices and an uncanny ability to select the right one to deliver the song with the emotional impact that will surprise and amaze you, usually in the first line of the song! Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
“No, she didn’t. She’s about to kill it…” Yes, you are 100% correct. She did kill it, and you’ll see that many times when Angelina covers a song she literally kills it for anyone else. As you’ll hear, her voice at 7 years old covering Billie Holiday is something you’ve never heard before. And now in her early teens, she is, without any reservation, the best singer I’ve ever heard. There are so many great songs, but to get an idea of what Angelina can do now, watch Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it’s probably the best music video I’ve ever seen. Or watch her cover of Adele’s All I Ask to see her right now. Just beautiful and powerful.
Angelina is the total musical package, amazing vocalist, song writer, song arranger, musician, author, humanitarian, statuesque (6'1" tall), beautiful young woman. What's not to like! Thumbs up & subscribed for more Angelina reactions.
