💛🎶💛🎵 I love that you already knew Screaming Jay Hawkins singing this from way back before hearing how Angelina sang this. Welcome to our amazing Angel!
Wow at last someone who knows the original Screaming Jay Hawkins...most reactors dont have a clue about this Great Artist and this song...and AJ kills it, my favorite performance by her.
I have watched that video many times, and also many reaction videos. The moment she starts to sing, i get goosebumps. *Every single time* HOW can a 9 years old girl sing like that ??
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
The other most introduction to Angelina is her Bohemian Rhapsody on America Got Talent. Another Queen song she did is The Show Must Go On, shaking the walls in her living room.
Welcome to the world of the barefoot jazz princess. Most of the ensemble are still with her. She arranges her own music. She's really special. I very much enjoyed your comments.
Angelina has done over 160 Covers and 8 or so originals. Since age 7 she has been doing her own arranging in every facet of her covers. At the start of “I Put A Spell On You” the caption reads “I Put A Spell On You” by Angelina Jordon And at the end of the session she was given the master copy. Most of the musicians are part of Norway’s Air Force Band and Orchestra. Courtesy of the Crown Prince of Norway who has declared her a National Treasure of Norway.
Angelina is the youngest published author in Norway. She wrote a book on why she performs barefoot on stage. When Angelina was traveling at age 6 the family was going through a market where another girl had bathroom scales. The young girl was raising money for her family as she was the eldest. So Angelina and bathroom scales girl sat down and talked. The Bathroom scales girl wanted to be a doctor but had to raise money for family. Angelina noticed that Bathroom scales girl had no shoes so Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to her and made a promise that when performing she would go barefoot until and children have shoes. The bathroom scales promised to pray for Angelina every night. And now you know why Angelina performs barefoot and why she is known as the "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" on the internet. Cheers. PS great reaction :)
jack In her own words, Angelina explains in this interview the real reason she performs barefoot: As fans have come to know, Jordan likes to perform barefoot, in honor of a young girl she met when she was 6 who didn’t have any shoes. Ever since the young singer gave that girl her shoes, she’s performed without wearing her own..... “I want to remind myself that there are less fortunate people around the world who need help,” she says. “It is a great reminder for me.”
Subscribed in hopes you will dive into her rabbit hole. This is actually her interpretation and arrangement. The notes in the beginning were last minute changes/wishes for the band leader. She is a true prodigy.
The lyrics are her version and are hand written and she also hand wrote the arrangements of where she wanted the band to stop or where she wanted new changes ant those are hand written by her and that's what she gave the band leader.
I for one, do not call her a singer. To me, that is like calling Rembrandt a mere painter. Angelina is an artist, that compiles her beautiful masterpieces with her voice, her understanding of music composition, and God given talent. Her AGT performance of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13, was my introduction. I have since watched every performance I can find from kindergarten to present day, and if she ever performs a live concert near where I am, I will be there. I liked your reaction as well. Keep on watching this angel.
Sir, this band coined the nickname THE BOSS, as my cocommenters wrote. It was about 30 second to a minute into the song, so its is said, that they fully understood, that they were working with their Norwegian Superstar, National Treasure and all around powerhouse. Angelina is not "bossy", she asked courteously to follow her "wishes". I have seen videos where she worked with this Band at 10 yo and when she had to show a pro keyboarder how she wanted him to play her song. Very patient and when didn´t get it, she asked him, if she might sit at his keyboard and than she played for him slowly, so he got witch keys she used. LOL. at age 12!!! When at age 11 a famous military band cooperated with her, the conductor literally did exactly that. He asked her in whitch key they should play that and that passage! Angelina is today world famous in musician circles for her creepy feeling for music. Ajuror at NGT told her "You a r e music". Stay safe and sound. German greetings.
If you noticed her writing in the beginning, those were instructions that were then read by the band leader. Now, at the end she became pensive and put her fingers to her chin. There was something she didn't like. That is why she was out of the booth with the band. They were doing a retake which was cut into the first take. There are not a lot of problems with bleed through to her mike. If you ever worked with orchestras and lead classical singers for a stage performance the effects are minimal if any. Even live rock bands don't have much of a problem with bleed through.
I say this in all my comments to reactions of this. The last note was spectacular, there isn't 5 people on this planet that could do that as well, and none better.
You may have noticed that nine year old Angelina is the boss in this session. She is hyper aware of every aspect of how this this session should be performed. She not only has complete mastery of the arrangement and her vocal performance, but she knows what each individual musician should be doing and when to do it. It was at this tender age of nine that Angelina became the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She speaks four languages and plays several different instruments. There is no other vocalist her age that has her versatility, lower range, instincts and vocal acuity. I know of no other young vocalist that sings jazz, let alone, sound like a forty-five year old seasoned veteran. Angelina Jordan is revitalizing the jazz genre. She is the contemporary queen of jazz. She created and travels in her own lane. She’s already a living legend and she has yet to start her professional career.
This was Angelina Jordan also known as The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and The Angel with 1,000 voices singing in full beast mode. Also , amazingly enough this was HER ARRANGEMENT of the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins !! The notes you saw the music director looking over were Her Wishes on how she wanted the band to play Her Arrangement !! This young lady is a one of a kind talent and true musical prodigy . Remember that she not only sang this song beautifully she arranged it herself at just 9 years of age !!
Anything she does is fantastic, some of my favorites are "rather go blind" "stay" "summertime" and her original song "7th heaven" and of course "bohemian rhapsody" welcome to your jouney to the top of the food chain
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements, since she was 7 years old. The page the gentleman is holding at the beginning, is actually her handwritten notes laying out what she expects from everyone. In studio, they playfully call her the "Little Boss". 😆💕 Angelina has sung barefoot, except for rehearsals, since age 6 in remembrance of an orphan girl near her age that she met on the street in the middle east. The girl was using bathroom scales and weighing people for money. It was cold, she was barefoot, and her feet were scarred. They chatted about their dreams, and she asked Angelina what her dream was. Of course, Angelina said she wanted to be a singer, and sing for the whole world, and asked the girl about her dream. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor, but that was not possible because she had siblings to care for, and she wished Angelina luck in becoming a singing star, and she told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina, on the spot, gave her the sea green boots, her favorites, that she was wearing and told her to never give up on her dreams, called her a “princess” and that she would always remember her. Angelina wrote in her diary that day, “…to be able to do something for another human, it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really.” Angelina, at 9, became Norway's youngest author when she wrote a book about it, "Mellom to hjerter" ("Between Two Hearts"). Angelina promised herself never to wear shoes when performing again until there were no more children around the world without shoes, clothing, or family. In her book Angelina says, “In respect for you and all children like you, and that you prayed to God, today I walk barefoot on cold floors in front of so many people and sing. This book is for you little princess. You’re like sunshine! I remember and remember you every day.” Angelina has raised many millions of Euros and Dollars around the world performing at charity concerts since age 8. So, to this day, almost 9 years later, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. NGT Judge Mia Gundersen called Angelia’s voice, “a gift from the universe.” To me, the true gift to us all is Angelina herself. Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far: Adele, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. 😊✌
Great, insightful reaction! And thank you for including the link to the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Angelina has masterfully covered artists like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Elvis...all of whom I used to listen to while growing up. She's also covered more recent artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Michael Jackson, Lana del Rey, Queen, Rhianna.... Take your pick, you won't be disappointed, brother.

Just subscribed. I am coming with you on your AJ journey.there is no song too big or artist too famous for our angel to tackle. Seriously you will be blown away my friend.enjoy love from Scotland.
... and another thing you'll notice from even her earliest recordings is that she makes eye contact with her lead musician. Something adults don't necessarily learn!
Since you enjoy studio performances, then you should watch Angelina’s very first studio performance when she was six years old. In this session she sings, “I Who Have Nothing”. Be prepared to be just as amazed as you are in this performance.
Wlc to Angelina's World, rest of us just living in it ; ) She get's gotten better an better as years gone by ( btw she's 16 now bday 10th Jan ) Bohemian Rhapsody at * America got talent * at age 13 ,are pure magic , no gonna say more, just enjoy, have a good one take care an stay safe ; )
Although it's not my favorite AJ performance, it's definitely the most shocked I've ever been watching a video. Welcome to an amazing journey with Angelina. Imo, she is the greatest singer/artist ever. I would recommend watching her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody next, but you really can't go wrong with any of her performances.
Lmao Great review do you have just opened up the rabbit hole to Angelina Jordan a.k.a. the barefoot princess, The queen of jazz an angel sent to us from heaven she will absolutely keep blowing your mind. Those were not the lyrics to this song that was the arrangement that she did her self at nine years old how she wanted the song to go. Going to subscribe to you just to watch your journey with The barefoot princess I have been following her since she was about nine years old absolutely the best singer in my 54 years of life I have ever heard.
Great reaction. As an older man (73) I do appreciate a reactor who knows his stuff and can make comparisons. Out of interest, you might want to see her jamming with the same band on Screaming Jay's "Portrait of a Man" (which she changed to "Child"). It gives an insight into how comfortable she is with accomplished professionals. As for another song, try It's A Man's World which she sings with the Norwegian Stabsmusikkorps (something like that!) Military Band. Or Feeling Good at the Gir Tilbake Livestream. And having done that, you are only scratching the surface of what this amazing singer has already achieved.
You know your stuff, thank you for taking the time for Angelina's genius. I was at the Skreaming Jay Hawkins concert where he sang "I put A spell on you", it was an experience of a lifetime. He was old but all the energy he had. It was as if he could fill the stage with electricity. And yes Angelina Jordan has it, she's on point! Looking forward to your next reaction to her authenticity.
That is awesome that you were there and that you and the reactor have that experience in common of seeing him when he was doing this… albeit not both in person it seems. Yey Angelina and all who are touched by her massive loving singing energy!
You are watching a bona fide musical genius and uniquely gifted and talented child prodigy. She has been creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was seven and eight years old. Angelina has and catalogue of approximately 160 cover and original songs. She was fourteen when she signed with Republic Records in November of 2020. She is the youngest Norwegian citizens to have written a book and had it published. She was nine when she wrote her book. She used her notes from her diary to write her book. There is a video of Angelina explaining why she goes barefoot when she performs. She is known as being the barefoot princes with the Mona Lisa smile. She is already a living legend.
thanks for the reaction, Angelina is impressive, I invite you to react to the song Somertime by Angelina Jordan when she was 7 years old. and also reacts to the song I feel good with Angelina when she was 11 . A hug from Tlaxcala México 🇲🇽
The fact you knew that song and could recognize him on the candle (which I assume she made) put you ahead of lots of reactors right away. I really like her version better than his (as I do most of her covers--and she covers some great songs by great singer/songwriters). Jay says he wrote it as a ballad but got drunk at the recording session and that take was so successful he hammed it up with a lot of stuff that really wouldn't pass muster today. If you only do one other song by her, it has to be her reinvention of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT at 13 (she's 16 now). I like her versions of Stay, When We Were Young, I'd Rather Go Blind, her tribute to her friend Avicii Wake Me Up, Marshmallow's Happier, Born to Die--there are so many. As you can see, she covers the best by the best. You're gonna love it.
She is incredible, out of this world!..she has so many covers and some originals, she does her own arrangements in the covers. I have so many favourite from her! ..one of them is "Born to Die" at the age of 12...regards from Norway! 🇳🇴
Nice reaction! You will soon be flooded with comments about Angelina, some of the fans (Angels) have compiled detailed biographies of AJ. They will give you a lot of insight to Angelina, and what makes her so special, why she performs barefoot, etc. She is not only a phenomenally talented singer, she is also an incredible human being as well. Her parents have (wisely) chosen to not promote her until she graduates school in order to give her as normal a childhood as possible. Something almost unheard of in the entertainment industry! She has about 166 songs recorded between TH-cam, Instagram, and TicTok. She is extremely humble, yet also fearless. She has done (amazing) covers of most of the Icons of singing history past and present. Looking forward to lots of Angelina reactions from you!
Angelina has that 1 in 7 billion ability to sing in 3D. The brilliance of her talent, persona, her to-die for Persian beauty and mindblowingly powerful young and HUMBLE Global Humanitarian service - she gives away all of her money to childrens charities ~ Angelina is almost supernatural. Yes ... She MUST be an Angel. 😇❤🙏 ...and Subscribing for the incredible journey. 💯
Angelina surprised you with her voice. She will surprise you just as much with every other song because it always sounds different. But her style is typical Angelina. But you won't notice that until you've heard several of her songs. There is a long but beautiful road ahead of you. Enjoy it. Angelina was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway (16 years old today). She started singing at the age of one year and a half and has been arranging her cover songs since she was 6 or 7 years old. She started with jazz!! She won “Norway Got Talent” at the age of 8!! There are more than 150 cover songs of all genres and singers. Now she also has her own songs. There are cover from Queen, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Lana Del Rey, ELVIS, Michael Jackson, Billie Holyday, Elton John, Etta James, Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra,.... She is called "The Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". She is able to adapt her voice to her arrangements of the songs. - Why Angelina always sings barefoot: At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need. - Bohemian Rhapsody 13 years old - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html - Queen cover - I’d rather go blind 12 years old - th-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/w-d-xo.html - Angelina on a sofa testing a new microphone, Etta James cover See her lower and higher range: - How great thou art 13 years old - th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html - well known by Elvis - I have nothing 12 years old - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html - Whitney Houston cover Her original songs: - What is Life 12 years old - th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html - Shield 12 years old - th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html - Oslo 12 years old - th-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/w-d-xo.html - Million Miles 14 years old - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - She wrote it for her grandfather, who died in 2019. - 7th Heaven 15 years old - th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany
olaf In her own words, Angelina explains in this interview with American Songwriter, the real reason she performs barefoot: As fans have come to know, Jordan likes to perform barefoot, in honor of a young girl she met when she was 6 who didn’t have any shoes. Ever since the young singer gave that girl her shoes, she’s performed without wearing her own..... “I want to remind myself that there are less fortunate people around the world who need help,” she says. “It is a great reminder for me.” (It was not a promise she made "until all the children had shoes.")
Thank you, Strongdad, for your fantastic first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it extremely well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Angelina is a musical genius, pure and simple. Her understanding of music is phenomenal and her ability to express the emotion of a song is spectacular. In this, she pulls the music out of a circus act and makes it beautiful. Most people emulate the Nina Simone version. Not Angie; back to the madhouse and rescue the song. This is the best, most impressive, video I've seen this century and it blows my mind even after hundreds of views. 😎
She's in my favorite 'Cover' Play List. It's not easy getting in there. I have never seen this studio take. Tone is amazing at nine. Good Bye Yellow Brook Road is my favorite on America's Got Talent. It's not on iTunes.
Angie is known in the studio as " The Boss", what she was writing where notes to the musical director on changes she made to the arrangement...at 9 years old!
It was only the words and groul she wanted to sing ... she never wrote any musical arrangement ... on all her new original songs she only wrote the lyrics, not any music ...
@@fredt7518 You obviously don't know Angelina. There are rehearsal videos where she is seen instructing the musicians on how to modify certain parts. Or listen to the interviews with the two guitarists who accompanied her, one in Norway and one in America, and how they prepared the songs she sang at home, and who instructed who on how to make them.
@@francescogalesso1880 I've done all of that and I'm a huge fan of Angelina but I'm convinced she didnt make any music arrangement on I put a spell on you nor give any "instructions" to any pianist ... (I saw the video where she plays a fex chords to the pianist to show him how she learned the song but listen to the chards she played (3 notes, 1,3,5) and the notes played by the pianist (6,7,9, sometimes 11). She is a great artist. And listen again the guitarists itw, there is no mention of Angelina shoosing chords or arrangement, she chose the songs, the way to sing it but not the chords ar arrangement ... sorry
@@fredt7518 She was actually observed by the judges of Norway’s Got Talent working with the musicians to get them to accompany her the way she wanted, which surprised them because she was only 8, and there are countless rehearsals where she worked with the director and the director made the necessary changes to the accompaniment to suit her as she wanted to perform the song. No, she doesn’t tell them the cords, but she doesn’t have to, she mostly sets the tempo and how she wants them to accompany her, and this is apparent in videos of interviews of the two guitarists that accompanied her on a regular basis, they said that she would tell them what she wanted and as professional musicians, they would do what was necessary to suit her request. She is the artist, not the musicians!
The first version of Creedence Clearwater Revival I saw, only later Angelina and then the original. Only that in the performance of a 7-8-year-old girl, it is really something beyond the classification ...
As you go through her videos you are going to see how she often looks to her left reading the lyrics. As stated by her guitarists these videos is often never rehearsed meaning she is making the songs her own as she goes. How this is even possible, nobody will ever understand. She can sing any genre and you will notice she always add parts of the original singer and parts of AJ of course.
Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣 You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣 Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program ♥ But she did not have vocal training. She absorbed this all herself immersing herself in Jazz on U-Tube from the age of 3 yrs old. Her family recognized the uniqueness of her voice and abilities and did not want to mess with it. This is all Angelina. She has chosen everything she does and has had a part if not total control of the arrangements from this same age. Prodigy? Yes there is video of her at 18 months old sing a couple of lines of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston into a toy mic. She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. ♥👣 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. 'Between Two Hearts' ♥ Why Angelina sings barefoot interview.

Very nice first reaction StongDad to the music genius/prodigy Angelina Jordan Astar. This is quite authentic and this is this 9 year olds arrangement and interpretation of Screamin Jay's 1956 original. This is a great jazz band backing her here and she has done other things with them as well. The affectionately refer to her as the "Boss" in studio. Those hand written notes handed to the band leader were her "wishes" for how she wanted to perform this song. This is already an iconic masterpiece on YT and for good reason. You just discovered the "golden egg" so to speak and everything she does is spectacular. Hope to see you continue on a journey with Angelina as you shall find that her millions and millions of supporters are wonderful people with a lot of information for you.
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republlic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is work for release Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on TH-cam performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.
This was Angelina's own arrangement paying tribute to the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Many people are not aware that Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was an opera singer, a pianist, and a boxing champ. He joined the army at age 13 using forged ID. He was a formidable opponent in the army and later in the airforce boxing circuits. He won several boxing golden glove awards mostly in his hometown of Cleveland. In 1949 he won Alaska’s middleweight title. 9 years old Angelina Jordan just delivered him a TKO. LOL. Do you agree? Thank you for your excellent reaction video of Angelina Jordan and More Angelina please.
@Space Debris and you may add another name to that list. Emily Linge was born and raised in Dubai UAE to a Norwegian father and a British mother. Multitalented 14 years old with a beautiful voice. She plays several instruments including the piano and the guitar. She also writes and composes her own music. I should also mention that she is a very good tennis player too. Here is her cover of Joni Mitchell’s song “River”th-cam.com/video/ZZ38arFc_m8/w-d-xo.html
One take only one cake only please I’m not sure if it’s she was 140 one and a half she goes to the studio and does one take the men that work without the musicians very rare she had her to text Vero and what you see is what you get messy been modified does have been changed
Bring me to get Hawkins he got drunk his mentor they got drunk Nissan this song that way he says he don’t even remember doing this song neighbor so drunk
You've arrived to a music ride that will change your way of listening to music. She pours Emotion in every song, that not to many Artist can do, but being so young is what is different. As one had said before, to listen to a song, you can turn on the radio or put on a record. If you want to feel a song you need to watch an Angelina Jordan video, The Queen of Jazz/Emotion/Covers, God Bless!
Can you imagine, this was done at 9, she's now 16 and your little Angelina is OVER 6 feet tall with more colors in her voacal toolchest.
You're one of the few reactors who knew who Screaming' Jay Hawkins was. Now you know he's not dead.
She came in the studio and owned this song LIKE A BOSS!
Dejavu she's been here before. This baby is amazing she put a spell on all of us.
"I'm still holding out for you" -Angelina Jordan.
Grandgrandpa 71here. 3Years old she sings to Grandma's Jazz Records. She arranged the Song. The Band call her Boss.🥰
Angelina speaks 4 languages, plays 4 instruments & writes composes her own music. She recomposed this song as well.
Nobody ever comments on that last note she carries to perfection. What a pièce de résistance.
💛🎶💛🎵 I love that you already knew Screaming Jay Hawkins singing this from way back before hearing how Angelina sang this. Welcome to our amazing Angel!
Wow at last someone who knows the original Screaming Jay Hawkins...most reactors dont have a clue about this Great Artist and this song...and AJ kills it, my favorite performance by her.
I have watched that video many times, and also many reaction videos.
The moment she starts to sing, i get goosebumps. *Every single time*
HOW can a 9 years old girl sing like that ??
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
The other most introduction to Angelina is her Bohemian Rhapsody on America Got Talent. Another Queen song she did is The Show Must Go On, shaking the walls in her living room.
Aside of being a true prodigy, a genuine phenom, these videos of hers, more than incredible and amazing, they are, at the very least , historic .
Hi Strongdad , thank you 🙏 for your reaction…. ohhh please keep on your journey with AJ she’s a huge box of Treats , you won’t regret it…..
I love at the very end of the song how she puts a finger up to her chin as if; "I think I could have done that better?"
Angelina Jordan Put a Spell on me, I just discovered her a few days back & I'm addicted to listening to her voice!
I saw Screaming Jay perform this live on American bandstand probably in 1956? Angelina has all the nuances of the original song🌺
Welcome to the world of the barefoot jazz princess. Most of the ensemble are still with her. She arranges her own music. She's really special. I very much enjoyed your comments.
You mentioned the adorable Factor you need to go back 2 to 3 years when she was seven on Norway's got talent then you will see ADORABLE!!!
her musical accompaniments are always great...
Angelina Queen Of Jazz
Thanks gifts me thumbs Up⭐️⭐️⭐️
Angelina has done over 160 Covers and 8 or so originals.
Since age 7 she has been doing her own arranging in every facet of her covers. At the start of “I Put A Spell On You” the caption reads “I Put A Spell On You” by Angelina Jordon
And at the end of the session she was given the master copy. Most of the musicians are part of Norway’s Air Force Band and Orchestra. Courtesy of the Crown Prince of Norway who has declared her a National Treasure of Norway.
You have stumbled upon the greatest singer of our time. The rabbit hole is deep, but it is an amazing journey! Can't wait to see more
I believe this is a blend of 3 run throughs in the studio. Can kind of tell as she's with different mics and in the booth in various parts.
Got to her and, primarily the same musicians, at her "practicing"
Portrait of a Child.
Well strongdad, you must be a bit weak at the knees by now. Angelina is the best either male or female i have ever ever encountered in 70 years.
Angelina is the youngest published author in Norway. She wrote a book on why she performs barefoot on stage. When Angelina was traveling at age 6 the family was going through a market where another girl had bathroom scales. The young girl was raising money for her family as she was the eldest. So Angelina and bathroom scales girl sat down and talked. The Bathroom scales girl wanted to be a doctor but had to raise money for family. Angelina noticed that Bathroom scales girl had no shoes so Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to her and made a promise that when performing she would go barefoot until and children have shoes. The bathroom scales promised to pray for Angelina every night. And now you know why Angelina performs barefoot and why she is known as the "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" on the internet. Cheers. PS great reaction :)
jack In her own words, Angelina explains in this interview the real reason she performs barefoot: As fans have come to know, Jordan likes to perform barefoot, in honor of a young girl she met when she was 6 who didn’t have any shoes. Ever since the young singer gave that girl her shoes, she’s performed without wearing her own..... “I want to remind myself that there are less fortunate people around the world who need help,” she says. “It is a great reminder for me.”
Imagine being a studio band and the most views/likes you ever get is a 9-year-old girl mimicking Screaming Jay Hawkins. lol
Good arrangement with a nice sax solo. Angelina takes your breath away. Such a talent at nine years old. Her control is amazing.
This is the first song I heard AJ sing. That is when I figured out she is phenomenal. Empress of Jazz can sing ANY genre with little effort.
AJ accomplishes the Impossible on a regular basis!
Subscribed in hopes you will dive into her rabbit hole. This is actually her interpretation and arrangement. The notes in the beginning were last minute changes/wishes for the band leader.
She is a true prodigy.
I hear the Musicians love working with her
The lyrics are her version and are hand written and she also hand wrote the arrangements of where she wanted the band to stop or where she wanted new changes ant those are hand written by her and that's what she gave the band leader.
Pretty sure the style that screaming jay hawkins sang in this one is called "shock rock"
They will play this video as a tribute at her Kennedy Center Honors in 60 years.
She put a spell on all of us!
I for one, do not call her a singer. To me, that is like calling Rembrandt a mere painter. Angelina is an artist, that compiles her beautiful masterpieces with her voice, her understanding of music composition, and God given talent. Her AGT performance of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13, was my introduction. I have since watched every performance I can find from kindergarten to present day, and if she ever performs a live concert near where I am, I will be there. I liked your reaction as well. Keep on watching this angel.
Sir, this band coined the nickname THE BOSS, as my cocommenters wrote. It was about 30 second to a minute into the song, so its is said, that they fully understood, that they were working with their Norwegian Superstar, National Treasure and all around powerhouse. Angelina is not "bossy", she asked courteously to follow her "wishes". I have seen videos where she worked with this Band at 10 yo and when she had to show a pro keyboarder how she wanted him to play her song. Very patient and when didn´t get it, she asked him, if she might sit at his keyboard and than she played for him slowly, so he got witch keys she used. LOL. at age 12!!! When at age 11 a famous military band cooperated with her, the conductor literally did exactly that. He asked her in whitch key they should play that and that passage! Angelina is today world famous in musician circles for her creepy feeling for music. Ajuror at NGT told her "You a r e music". Stay safe and sound. German greetings.
If you noticed her writing in the beginning, those were instructions that were then read by the band leader. Now, at the end she became pensive and put her fingers to her chin. There was something she didn't like. That is why she was out of the booth with the band. They were doing a retake which was cut into the first take. There are not a lot of problems with bleed through to her mike. If you ever worked with orchestras and lead classical singers for a stage performance the effects are minimal if any. Even live rock bands don't have much of a problem with bleed through.
I say this in all my comments to reactions of this. The last note was spectacular, there isn't 5 people on this planet that could do that as well, and none better.
steven The last line ("I'm yours right now") was spectacular. ONE BREATH!
You may have noticed that nine year old Angelina is the boss in this session. She is hyper aware of every aspect of how this this session should be performed. She not only has complete mastery of the arrangement and her vocal performance, but she knows what each individual musician should be doing and when to do it. It was at this tender age of nine that Angelina became the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She speaks four languages and plays several different instruments. There is no other vocalist her age that has her versatility, lower range, instincts and vocal acuity. I know of no other young vocalist that sings jazz, let alone, sound like a forty-five year old seasoned veteran. Angelina Jordan is revitalizing the jazz genre. She is the contemporary queen of jazz. She created and travels in her own lane. She’s already a living legend and she has yet to start her professional career.
This was Angelina Jordan also known as The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and The Angel with 1,000 voices singing in full beast mode. Also , amazingly enough this was HER ARRANGEMENT of the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins !! The notes you saw the music director looking over were Her Wishes on how she wanted the band to play Her Arrangement !! This young lady is a one of a kind talent and true musical prodigy . Remember that she not only sang this song beautifully she arranged it herself at just 9 years of age !!
When GOD made ANGELINA JORDON he took a piece of the greatest singers soul and stuffed them into her body
Anything she does is fantastic, some of my favorites are "rather go blind" "stay" "summertime" and her original song "7th heaven" and of course "bohemian rhapsody" welcome to your jouney to the top of the food chain
The band and the singer have to be on the same level.....otherwise it doesn't work. Angelina and the band made it work.
It's so great you actually know this is her tribute to Screamin Jay Hawkins. I immediately subscribed because of thus. Great reaction
When Angelina Jordan was 7, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent with the Billie Holiday classic "Gloomy Sunday". Brace yourself.
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements, since she was 7 years old. The page the gentleman is holding at the beginning, is actually her handwritten notes laying out what she expects from everyone. In studio, they playfully call her the "Little Boss". 😆💕
Angelina has sung barefoot, except for rehearsals, since age 6 in remembrance of an orphan girl near her age that she met on the street in the middle east. The girl was using bathroom scales and weighing people for money. It was cold, she was barefoot, and her feet were scarred. They chatted about their dreams, and she asked Angelina what her dream was. Of course, Angelina said she wanted to be a singer, and sing for the whole world, and asked the girl about her dream. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor, but that was not possible because she had siblings to care for, and she wished Angelina luck in becoming a singing star, and she told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina, on the spot, gave her the sea green boots, her favorites, that she was wearing and told her to never give up on her dreams, called her a “princess” and that she would always remember her.
Angelina wrote in her diary that day, “…to be able to do something for another human, it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really.” Angelina, at 9, became Norway's youngest author when she wrote a book about it, "Mellom to hjerter" ("Between Two Hearts"). Angelina promised herself never to wear shoes when performing again until there were no more children around the world without shoes, clothing, or family. In her book Angelina says, “In respect for you and all children like you, and that you prayed to God, today I walk barefoot on cold floors in front of so many people and sing. This book is for you little princess. You’re like sunshine! I remember and remember you every day.”
Angelina has raised many millions of Euros and Dollars around the world performing at charity concerts since age 8. So, to this day, almost 9 years later, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. NGT Judge Mia Gundersen called Angelia’s voice, “a gift from the universe.” To me, the true gift to us all is Angelina herself.
Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far:
Adele, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. 😊✌
Great, insightful reaction! And thank you for including the link to the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Angelina has masterfully covered artists like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Elvis...all of whom I used to listen to while growing up. She's also covered more recent artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Michael Jackson, Lana del Rey, Queen, Rhianna.... Take your pick, you won't be disappointed, brother.

Just subscribed. I am coming with you on your AJ journey.there is no song too big or artist too famous for our angel to tackle. Seriously you will be blown away my friend.enjoy love from Scotland.
... and another thing you'll notice from even her earliest recordings is that she makes eye contact with her lead musician. Something adults don't necessarily learn!
Since you enjoy studio performances, then you should watch Angelina’s very first studio performance when she was six years old. In this session she sings, “I Who Have Nothing”. Be prepared to be just as amazed as you are in this performance.
Wlc to Angelina's World, rest of us just living in it ; ) She get's gotten better an better as years gone by ( btw she's 16 now bday 10th Jan ) Bohemian Rhapsody at * America got talent * at age 13 ,are pure magic , no gonna say more, just enjoy, have a good one take care an stay safe ; )
Although it's not my favorite AJ performance, it's definitely the most shocked I've ever been watching a video. Welcome to an amazing journey with Angelina. Imo, she is the greatest singer/artist ever. I would recommend watching her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody next, but you really can't go wrong with any of her performances.
Lmao Great review do you have just opened up the rabbit hole to Angelina Jordan a.k.a. the barefoot princess, The queen of jazz an angel sent to us from heaven she will absolutely keep blowing your mind. Those were not the lyrics to this song that was the arrangement that she did her self at nine years old how she wanted the song to go. Going to subscribe to you just to watch your journey with The barefoot princess I have been following her since she was about nine years old absolutely the best singer in my 54 years of life I have ever heard.
Angelina understood the assignment.! 😂
Great reaction. As an older man (73) I do appreciate a reactor who knows his stuff and can make comparisons. Out of interest, you might want to see her jamming with the same band on Screaming Jay's "Portrait of a Man" (which she changed to "Child"). It gives an insight into how comfortable she is with accomplished professionals. As for another song, try It's A Man's World which she sings with the Norwegian Stabsmusikkorps (something like that!) Military Band. Or Feeling Good at the Gir Tilbake Livestream. And having done that, you are only scratching the surface of what this amazing singer has already achieved.
Do you have a link?
Next: Angelina's cover of John Legend's "All Of Me"
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, she is always amazing, and mesmerizing.loved your reaction to this song.
Impressive yaaaa good reaction from sone one who appreciate it
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason ...🗣🎙👑
Start at the beginning - Norway’s Got Talent - 7 years old and she starts out with Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”. It’s mind blowing.
You know your stuff, thank you for taking the time for Angelina's genius. I was at the Skreaming Jay Hawkins concert where he sang "I put A spell on you", it was an experience of a lifetime. He was old but all the energy he had. It was as if he could fill the stage with electricity. And yes Angelina Jordan has it, she's on point! Looking forward to your next reaction to her authenticity.
That is awesome that you were there and that you and the reactor have that experience in common of seeing him when he was doing this… albeit not both in person it seems.
Yey Angelina and all who are touched by her massive loving singing energy!
Congrats, you grabbed more from this video than any other reactor i saw. Keep it up with AJA, the best singer I know. Subscribed
Just a CLASSIC
Nice reaction from a very handsome guy.
You are watching a bona fide musical genius and uniquely gifted and talented child prodigy. She has been creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was seven and eight years old. Angelina has and catalogue of approximately 160 cover and original songs. She was fourteen when she signed with Republic Records in November of 2020. She is the youngest Norwegian citizens to have written a book and had it published. She was nine when she wrote her book. She used her notes from her diary to write her book. There is a video of Angelina explaining why she goes barefoot when she performs. She is known as being the barefoot princes with the Mona Lisa smile. She is already a living legend.
Loved the fact that you knew facts. Your react was awesome. Thanks
I'm here for the ride.. I never want to get off.. Angelina Stan lolxx 👌✌️🥰😘🇬🇧🎶🎧
she's just different, wonderfully different.....REcommend I'm still holding out for you
thanks for the reaction, Angelina is impressive, I invite you to react to the song Somertime by Angelina Jordan when she was 7 years old. and also reacts to the song I feel good with Angelina when she was 11 . A hug from Tlaxcala México 🇲🇽
This is Angelinas band..💯 handpicked.
The fact you knew that song and could recognize him on the candle (which I assume she made) put you ahead of lots of reactors right away. I really like her version better than his (as I do most of her covers--and she covers some great songs by great singer/songwriters). Jay says he wrote it as a ballad but got drunk at the recording session and that take was so successful he hammed it up with a lot of stuff that really wouldn't pass muster today. If you only do one other song by her, it has to be her reinvention of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT at 13 (she's 16 now). I like her versions of Stay, When We Were Young, I'd Rather Go Blind, her tribute to her friend Avicii Wake Me Up, Marshmallow's Happier, Born to Die--there are so many. As you can see, she covers the best by the best. You're gonna love it.
Great reaction to a great artist
Enjoyed your reaction . I subscribed , big Angelina fan
She is incredible, out of this world!..she has so many covers and some originals, she does her own arrangements in the covers. I have so many favourite from her! ..one of them is "Born to Die" at the age of 12...regards from Norway! 🇳🇴
I can only recommend to listen to her Etta James cover "I'd rather go blind". Incredible, even more powerful!
Angelina Jordan Astar, this sweet little norwegian girl (now 16 y old) is imo the best singer on this planet! 🤩
No es una maravilla este bello ángel?
Angelina 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Nice reaction! You will soon be flooded with comments about Angelina, some of the fans (Angels) have compiled detailed biographies of AJ. They will give you a lot of insight to Angelina, and what makes her so special, why she performs barefoot, etc. She is not only a phenomenally talented singer, she is also an incredible human being as well. Her parents have (wisely) chosen to not promote her until she graduates school in order to give her as normal a childhood as possible. Something almost unheard of in the entertainment industry! She has about 166 songs recorded between TH-cam, Instagram, and TicTok. She is extremely humble, yet also fearless. She has done (amazing) covers of most of the Icons of singing history past and present. Looking forward to lots of Angelina reactions from you!
Angelina has that 1 in 7 billion ability to sing in 3D. The brilliance of her talent, persona, her to-die for Persian beauty and mindblowingly powerful young and HUMBLE Global Humanitarian service - she gives away all of her money to childrens charities ~ Angelina is almost supernatural.
Yes ... She MUST be an Angel. 😇❤🙏
...and Subscribing for the incredible journey. 💯
Angelina surprised you with her voice. She will surprise you just as much with every other song because it always sounds different. But her style is typical Angelina. But you won't notice that until you've heard several of her songs. There is a long but beautiful road ahead of you. Enjoy it.
Angelina was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway (16 years old today). She started singing at the age of one year and a half and has been arranging her cover songs since she was 6 or 7 years old. She started with jazz!! She won “Norway Got Talent” at the age of 8!! There are more than 150 cover songs of all genres and singers. Now she also has her own songs.
There are cover from Queen, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Lana Del Rey, ELVIS, Michael Jackson, Billie Holyday, Elton John, Etta James, Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra,....
She is called "The Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". She is able to adapt her voice to her arrangements of the songs.
- Why Angelina always sings barefoot: At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need.

Have a nice day and
Greetings from Germany
olaf In her own words, Angelina explains in this interview with American Songwriter, the real reason she performs barefoot: As fans have come to know, Jordan likes to perform barefoot, in honor of a young girl she met when she was 6 who didn’t have any shoes. Ever since the young singer gave that girl her shoes, she’s performed without wearing her own..... “I want to remind myself that there are less fortunate people around the world who need help,” she says. “It is a great reminder for me.” (It was not a promise she made "until all the children had shoes.")
Thank you, Strongdad, for your fantastic first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it extremely well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Angelina is a musical genius, pure and simple. Her understanding of music is phenomenal and her ability to express the emotion of a song is spectacular. In this, she pulls the music out of a circus act and makes it beautiful. Most people emulate the Nina Simone version. Not Angie; back to the madhouse and rescue the song. This is the best, most impressive, video I've seen this century and it blows my mind even after hundreds of views. 😎
She's in my favorite 'Cover' Play List. It's not easy getting in there. I have never seen this studio take. Tone is amazing at nine.
Good Bye Yellow Brook Road is my favorite on America's Got Talent. It's not on iTunes.
Angie is known in the studio as " The Boss", what she was writing where notes to the musical director on changes she made to the arrangement...at 9 years old!
It was only the words and groul she wanted to sing ... she never wrote any musical arrangement ... on all her new original songs she only wrote the lyrics, not any music ...
@@fredt7518 You obviously don't know Angelina. There are rehearsal videos where she is seen instructing the musicians on how to modify certain parts. Or listen to the interviews with the two guitarists who accompanied her, one in Norway and one in America, and how they prepared the songs she sang at home, and who instructed who on how to make them.
@@francescogalesso1880 I've done all of that and I'm a huge fan of Angelina but I'm convinced she didnt make any music arrangement on I put a spell on you nor give any "instructions" to any pianist ... (I saw the video where she plays a fex chords to the pianist to show him how she learned the song but listen to the chards she played (3 notes, 1,3,5) and the notes played by the pianist (6,7,9, sometimes 11). She is a great artist. And listen again the guitarists itw, there is no mention of Angelina shoosing chords or arrangement, she chose the songs, the way to sing it but not the chords ar arrangement ... sorry
there is no doubt imo that ANGELINA has a say/ input into the arrangements of her songs. sorry.

She was actually observed by the judges of Norway’s Got Talent working with the musicians to get them to accompany her the way she wanted, which surprised them because she was only 8, and there are countless rehearsals where she worked with the director and the director made the necessary changes to the accompaniment to suit her as she wanted to perform the song. No, she doesn’t tell them the cords, but she doesn’t have to, she mostly sets the tempo and how she wants them to accompany her, and this is apparent in videos of interviews of the two guitarists that accompanied her on a regular basis, they said that she would tell them what she wanted and as professional musicians, they would do what was necessary to suit her request.
She is the artist, not the musicians!
The first version of Creedence Clearwater Revival I saw, only later Angelina and then the original. Only that in the performance of a 7-8-year-old girl, it is really something beyond the classification ...
As you go through her videos you are going to see how she often looks to her left reading the lyrics. As stated by her guitarists these videos is often never rehearsed meaning she is making the songs her own as she goes. How this is even possible, nobody will ever understand. She can sing any genre and you will notice she always add parts of the original singer and parts of AJ of course.
The next one you should react to is "It's a man's world" with a military band, a live performance 🤩🤩
Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program ♥
But she did not have vocal training. She absorbed this all herself immersing herself in Jazz on U-Tube from the age of 3 yrs old. Her family recognized the uniqueness of her voice and abilities and did not want to mess with it. This is all Angelina. She has chosen everything she does and has had a part if not total control of the arrangements from this same age.
Prodigy? Yes there is video of her at 18 months old sing a couple of lines of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston into a toy mic.
She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. ♥👣
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. 'Between Two Hearts' ♥

Very nice first reaction StongDad to the music genius/prodigy Angelina Jordan Astar. This is quite authentic and this is this 9 year olds arrangement and interpretation of Screamin Jay's 1956 original. This is a great jazz band backing her here and she has done other things with them as well. The affectionately refer to her as the "Boss" in studio. Those hand written notes handed to the band leader were her "wishes" for how she wanted to perform this song. This is already an iconic masterpiece on YT and for good reason. You just discovered the "golden egg" so to speak and everything she does is spectacular. Hope to see you continue on a journey with Angelina as you shall find that her millions and millions of supporters are wonderful people with a lot of information for you.
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republlic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is work for release Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!!
Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on TH-cam performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences.
Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history.
Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.
This was Angelina's own arrangement paying tribute to the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.
Many people are not aware that Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was an opera singer, a pianist, and a boxing champ. He joined the army at age 13 using forged ID. He was a formidable opponent in the army and later in the airforce boxing circuits. He won several boxing golden glove awards mostly in his hometown of Cleveland. In 1949 he won Alaska’s middleweight title.
9 years old Angelina Jordan just delivered him a TKO. LOL. Do you agree?
Thank you for your excellent reaction video of Angelina Jordan and More Angelina please.
@Space Debris and you may add another name to that list.
Emily Linge was born and raised in Dubai UAE to a Norwegian father and a British mother. Multitalented 14 years old with a beautiful voice. She plays several instruments including the piano and the guitar. She also writes and composes her own music. I should also mention that she is a very good tennis player too.

Bring me to get Hawkins he got drunk his mentor they got drunk Nissan this song that way he says he don’t even remember doing this song neighbor so drunk
You've arrived to a music ride that will change your way of listening to music. She pours Emotion in every song, that not to many Artist can do, but being so young is what is different. As one had said before, to listen to a song, you can turn on the radio or put on a record. If you want to feel a song you need to watch an Angelina Jordan video, The Queen of Jazz/Emotion/Covers, God Bless!
