***ATTENTION*** There was a major typo when the poll was created and the deadline date was supposed to be listed as 4/12/2023 NOT 7/12/2023. I tried to edit the poll post but that option is not available. Rest assured, the date is 4/12/2023. Thanks to @Ron Crans for pointing this out. Sorry for any confusion!! Clay
Okay Men!!! Angelina was in this performance absolutely goddess👸I love it ❤the next Video from Angelina the best cover ever for me is „I put A Spell On You“ original from Jay Hawkins 1956 Angelina is in this performance 9 years old !!! This Video has 10 Million Klicks an You Tube !!! Crazy good !!! unbelievable, amazing,brilliant,beautiful out of this world 🌎 her old soul voice rasp,emotions,timing,feeling,and screams is magical unbelievable!!! She is the Queen of Jazz🎺🎷🎙🎼 and our 🦶 Princess Angelina sings that better as the original 100% sure!!! And better as Nina Simone’s cover!! Great reaction gays👍👌Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭❤️🙏✌️👍👋🏻🙋♂️Roger over and out.😊
To be able to turn a classic rock anthem into a heartrending ballad is a remarkable achievement and only gives a hint to this girl's talent. She's one of a kind. 😎
There is no longer version of this arrangement, this is Angelina's copyrighted version. Queen was so impressed they posted it on their website with the comment "Wow what a rendition." They gave her the copyrights to this arrangement & it went viral, resulting in millions of people listening to the original again. I think it's ironic that by her doing this performance she not only jumpstarted her career in the US, but made Queen a lot of money. They love her!!! Liked & subed for more Angelina.
One of the amazing things about this young lady is that, yes, she had the confidence to cover Queen and Freddie. But she also knew to pay tribute without trying to mimic Freddie. She made her own beautiful arrangement. And the surviving members have commented on this. They loved it and actually gave Angelina permission to record her version.
Sadly there isn’t a longer version. They are also only allowed just over 3 minutes singing on the show.Freddie would be so proud of her we are . Angelina is going to take the world by storm this year . Her first Album is due out anytime with Republic Records. She’s now 17 years old but she’s still managing to do her schoolwork and go and record at Republic Records at the same time.Angelina is the greatest female singer I’ve ever heard . I’m 70 now so I’ve heard a lot of great singers in my time but not one of them has the talent Angelina has . She’s in a class of her own and always will be . I listen to her every single day . She’s very humble and she’s got a heart of gold 💛Angelina has raised millions for children’s charities and the environment. There’s no stopping her. Great Reaction guys from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👸🏻👸🏻👼👼🦶👌👍
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our barefoot Princess, after this performance Angelina received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating her on a amazing performance and the guys from Queen gave Angelina the copyright to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, and Angelina received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, this performance also has over 100 million views on social media platforms, great reaction thanks 🙏
Now that you've been introduced to AJ in her more adult phase, you have to react to her Norway's Got Talent 4 performances where she actually started for the world. She started that at 7 years old singing jazz and blues. Jazz and blues are her foundational styles and can be heard in nearly all her songs.
I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or even, what genre she fits in, & I have come to accept, that she doesn't fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in a league, of her own.....One thing I do know, is every time I hear her voice, it touches my *HEART* & brings out *EMOTIONS,* some of which, I didn't even know existed! What an amazing gift Angelina is!!! 💝💝💝 I would highly recommend her version of Screaming Jay Hawkins, I put a spell on you!
wanted to see if you would consider reacting to an a capella group called Pentatonix. They do amazing covers. They do Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody & so many more. No instruments!! They will blow your mind!!!
Nice reaction guys. I’m happy for you guys that you came back to AJ! You will be so thankful you did. Once you recognize the immense talent and how special a person she is, EVERY Angelina Jordan experience will contain something special. Sometimes mind shattering.
Now you understand… Watching you guys when Angelina started to sing was something that happens a lot. Angelina has you captivated at the first few notes. Her voice can be mesmerizing as you heard today, but she covers many different genres just beautifully, as you’ll see. You don’t need to do the poll. I’ll tell you the results right now. The initiation rites for new reactors to Angelina require you to watch her cover of I Put a Spell on You. She’s 9 years old, singing live in a studio with a terrific jazz/blues band backing her, and it’s her own arrangement. Like Bohemian Rhapsody, it pays respect to the wild original version by Screamin Jay Hawkins, but this is all Angelina. It’s mind-blowing to watch and hear a 9 year old in complete charge, working beautifully with the musicians, and just killing it. I look forward to your reaction. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
Yes! Critical hits with max impact. You can ask for 4 requests, but you will soon find out, anything less than 40 will never suffice. I’m in for the journey ❤😊
I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th, 2020. It was this phenomenal performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT Champions, and I have listened to her every day since then. I ran out of superlatives a long time ago trying to adequately describe her immense talent, so I will just say that she moves me like no other artist I've ever encountered. There are dozens of performances by her that will blow you away. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
The performance of her arrangement of Queen’s, Bohemian Rhapsody, on America's Got Talent, helped launch her international singing career...again. Angelina Jordan a 13-year-old from Norway sang an understated abridged version of the epic song on a recent episode, impressing the audience judges and the band itself. The following morning, Queen retweeted the show’s official account adding "Wow!What a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody!" Because of Queen's Outstanding support of her rendition, Angelina Jordan, Inc. now owns the copyright to her version of Bohemian Rhapsody.🌺🌺
Hey guys!!! Thanks for your great reaction and here are two more amazing songs Angelina did !!! The first is her 2022 rendition of " My Funny Valentine" and the second is "Above the water" These are some of my favorite Angelina songs. Oh and a bonus is a song she wrote and arranged called "Shield" have fun bro. Ray
Thank you for that. I have seen this particular suggestion several time but thank you very much for the reminder! We will make sure to do the B&W one if it is the winner! Clay
@@criticalhitsbadmisses That one was recorded "around her 9th birthday" (January 2015) according to her management, mother and all.. 2 months later according to all commenters on YT. January 2015 is still correct.
Jordan has a big club following. People support child singers well into their adulthood. I was a big fan of Judy Garland when I was growing up as a kid when I was 10 years old. I thought Judy Garland was an Angel from Heaven. I am 73 years old now and still a fan of Judy Garland. Her many songs and movies she did over the years. One of Judy Garland’s last great performances was at Carnegie Hall.
e pluribus u-num With all the gimmicks that are used in what is known as music today it is so refreshing to come across a being that does not need auto tune, lightshows, dancers, outrageous costumes, bands, or orchestras to cover their weaknesses because she has none. AJ can perform a Capella, or with one or two instruments to follow her lead and give you chills with each performance. I have always enjoyed all genres of music, and being 75, I have experienced the best the industry has to offer, from the early 50s, to 2023, but I have never been moved emotionally in the past anywhere close to what Angelina Jordan does from 7 to 17. When I heard Celine Dion perform in a tint in Québec when she was a child, I predicted she would be the next world superstar, and the rest is history. Celine did not sign a record contract until she was in her early 20s. David Foster, who made Celine a star flew to Norway after Angelina wone NGT and tried to sign her, but her family wanted to stay in control of her future. Angelina, at 13, appeared on AGT and getting worldwide recognition signed with the largest record company in the world at age 14, Republic Records. The story is that Monty Lipman, the CEO personally signed her even without meeting AJ, he was shown a video of her performance. Angelina Jordan will be the next Super Nova very soon. As for being her biggest fan, e pluribus u-num.
Hey Guys, great review. Angelina is a once in a generation vocalist. She is just amazing. I have to let you guys know that there is another young lady that is also making waves. Her name is Lucy Thomas. She by far has the most angelic voice I have ever heard. She has 4 albums out now and is the same age as Angelina. Some of her songs are getting close to 50 million views now. So give her a listen. I would start with her version of “Hallelujah”. You will not be disappointed.
Back To Black was probably not the best introduction to Angelina Jordan :-) This one is one of her top interpretations. The shortness is due to the format of the show and so no there is no longer one. She has sung again but in the same arrangement. She made this arrangement herself just like she made her own suit using a print from her grandmother’s art. She has done many great reinterpretations of big songs. A cool jazz version of Billie Jean, th-cam.com/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/w-d-xo.html, a spectacular version of Screaming Jays Hawkins I Put a Spall on You, th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html , and a slowed down version of Avicii’s Wake Me Up, th-cam.com/video/F5omCuTQ9S0/w-d-xo.html, and also many songs where the rearrangement is closer to the original but always she adds a lot of her own uniqueness. She also has a bunch of originals and you’d probably love her song 7th Heaven, th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html, and Million Miles with a video production th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html or a slowed down live version th-cam.com/video/x9dVG5Pgq9o/w-d-xo.html
Queen themselves shared this performance on their socials, saying Wow, what a rendition ❤️ I got goosebumps and chills listening to that performance every time ❤️ In my book it is the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ And 13 years old... are you kidding me... 😳
Yes, we would all have loved a longer version, but this was arranged by Angelina to fit in the 2:30 to 3:00 time slot allowed for each contestant. I, like both of you, think AJ did a phenomenal job fitting it to the allowed time. Keep the voting on the Community page going, you only have about 180 or so more videos to go. 😁 I am subscribed for more Angelina.
Gentlemen, a true MASTERPIECE performance never to be forgotten. Angelina has near to 200 video's on You Tube for you to enjoy. They include songs from when she was 6 years old to right now. (She is 17. Her birthday is Jan 10th.) Guys, if you mix it up a little that's okay. What I mean is listen to her sing something at 16 years old and then something from she was 10 years old and you won't be disappointed. Yep, she has touched your hearts with her love. That's what all that tingling was. And that's what she does. She is all about love and we get the message by just looking at her singing through the screen. I like your idea about helping select the next song. But, remember, she does a lot of old stuff and if you see one you like, put it up. She doesn't cover old songs. Instead, even though she pays homage to the original song and artist, she makes her version a brand new song. The best way to say it is, she is the whole package! 10's; 10's, 10's across the board.
Songs, well the next one would be her rendition ot Screamin' Jay Hawkin's "I Put a Spell on You", in B&W, perfomred at age 9, a year after winning Norway's Got Talent singing her version of "Summertime", a stunning performance. BTW, buckle up for her arrangement of Jay's song, she keeps the original shock rock approach but with her own spin. You'll see what I mean.
Nice reaction. Angelina brings out the good part of our souls . Already a mega talent with millions of fans. Keep em coming, and enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you guys.
Lars, yes: I've a sneaking feeling that she's in heaven singing to us - calling us to be there with her. We're so blessed, being this side, and knowing she is there. Probably something like that! :) j from nz
Yup, it's rare I forget to even think about comparing the original with a cover, where my dumb brain isn't finding the differences and distracting me. But this one within two seconds I was on an entirely different journey with a separate piece of art, what a journey too. No, no longer version, Queen immediately heard this and gave her the rights to her version, shortened for a show unfortunately right. But it's pure gold anyway, and we won't get a full version ever, that would kind of be a slap in the face to the incredible gift of Rights she received from them I feel. While I don't care, I don't think she would risk that knowing it's a potential way to take it. Her version is unreal and lasts forever as is as well. It's done so much for her, her own creation, but it's her most propelling work as far as I can tell for her brand, maybe by far. God you should see her this past summer in Norway singing it, it is a bit different because her voice got so beautiful and her skills are insane now. She was 16, it's way jazzier, but I think more from her growth than anything.
I agree with your request, but there's about 3 or 4 different recordings of that song! It would help these gentlemen if you posted a link to the one you're recommending.
Her BR rendition is definitely a critical hit - and out of her 180+ covers and originals I have yet to find a bad miss. In fact I don't think she has even one single-digit die roll on a 20-sided die! New sub, greetings from Greece.
Now that you've been introduced to AJ in her more adult phase, you have to react to her Norway's Got Talent 4 performances where she actually started for the world. She started that at 7 years old singing jazz and blues. Jazz and blues are her foundational styles and can be heard in nearly all her songs.
I think at age13, a normal child becomes an adolescent, and that is Angelina in her physical growth. But she is far from "normal" in her ability as a]n artist, and in that respect you are totally correct to refer to her "adult phase"
Hi CH&BM, thanks a billion for this wonderfull reaction to Angelina Jordans version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Actually - no matter which song from Angelina you choose, all are wonderfull, the main thing is that you continue reacting to Angelina Jordan. And as I mentioned in my comment to your first reaction to her, all songs are worth to react to - even the "oldest" when she was first time in a booth 6yo! 🙃(link is in my first comment) Nice idea with the poll - I voted and laughed as I saw that my vote leads wit 90% 😁 And for this I would like to remember to my proposal in my comment to your first AJ reaction: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her last changes for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a virtuoso tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :))) The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;) At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-) Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;) ...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :)) Have a nice day and happy Easter! CU in your next AJ reaction Andreas
Superb rendition of this beautiful but quite tricky song. Angelina is on my personal list of ' superleague ' young artists which includes instrument players as well as vocalists. She really is a rare talent. I think it's a shame it took a 'talent' show appearance to give her a lift, if that's what happened. Social media music platforms seem to work well if you can work out how to get it to work for you so that you get more exposure. Miss Sherlock dropped out of BGT on professional advice, Miss Protsenko doesn't seem to have been harmed by not being accepted but people such as Ayu Gusfanz, Yoyo1212guitar and very many more, I suppose would need some form of support or exposure due to being Indonesian, Chinese etc not being the most likely to be covered by the popular channels to musical appreciation. Angelina is absolutely excellent and whilst not my personal favourite that doesn't mean in any way whatsoever that I don't think her to be world class and hugely engaging. In my younger days comparing The Beatles to The Stones never worked. People had their favourites but few could deny the magic in both of those bands.
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in my 75 years of listening to the best the world has to offer
She has so many covers and a few originals, but probably the next one you should check out is " I put a spell on you" black and white version, she is 9 in that one. Many more to choose from have fun its a long journey.
These auditions have time requirements. But she did not do what other time-focused jugglers do. She actually approached it with musical intelligence and wrote the arrangement. True to her story-telling track record, she portrayed the gist of this song/story and its emotional truth so well that my heart touched Freddy Mercury's ongoing heart. Truly. I still cry when I hear this performance, and my body gets chills all over. What am I going on? Well over 200 times? I'm so glad you got to experience this exquisite rendition of a great song. She is gifted. At age 17 in 2023, she's dropping an album later this year and the first single was announced as dropping some time this month. Thanks for listening to the reactions and going for this. Do listen to it many times again. Grandma Ellen, out.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: th-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/w-d-xo.html
I picked the song on the community page. I'm excited to see you discover the many performances. I'm thinking about James Brown's "It's a Man's world" . Now careful boys, there are videos where the sound is not so clear and then there's one at her second festival where you can hear the power of her voice. Maybe an Angel can supply the link? I'm old and have no idea on how to attach a link in these chats. I'm looking forward to seeing your next reaction to AJ😊
I know of at least 3 recordings of UAMW. This is the concert I see most. The audio was problematic because of spectators proximity to the stage: th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html This is the same event but some sound enhancement has been applied: th-cam.com/video/tGXnodBLyUg/w-d-xo.html Thus recording may have better sound but no video. It has a slideshow instead: I know of at least 3 recordings of UAMW. This is the concert I see most. The audio was problematic because of spectators proximity to the stage: th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html This is the same event but some sound enhancement has been applied: th-cam.com/video/tGXnodBLyUg/w-d-xo.html
Hey guys thanks for sticking around. Just voted on your poll...no surprises, btw none are bad choices. Just the one that actually won, will solidify your Four Footed Jump into to the Angelina Rabbit hole. I suggest you your read all 5430 comments the AJ fan base will leave...just kidding, but don't worry about your song choices, as much as learning AJ backstory...that will help you circumnavigate through her large amazing song portfolio, I noticed on your community tab that you are doing a Metallica count down...well have I got another rabbit hole. 10 years ago 3 young girls (sisters) from Mexico did a Enter Sandman cover that blew up on You Tube... even Metallica loved it. So much so that on the recent Metallica Blacklist album the first song on the Album is Enter Sandman by the rock group "The Warning" these same now grown up little girls along with Alesia Cara wrote a new version of the song. The video is great, The live done without Alesia is amazing. I will leave two links, that song and another one of their songs from a Concert in Mexico this past summer. Enjoy, by the way The Warning fan Base called "The Warning Army" is bigger and just as wildly You Tube supporter as The "Angles" Angelina fan base. I am a proud member of both, if you watch AJ and The Warning regularly they will get you to 10,000 in 30 days. links: th-cam.com/video/K8VPX-diRl4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/vg9vNE7gm0I/w-d-xo.html
There is a short clip predating AGT in which Angelina sings a different part of the song, but that one sounds closer to the original and remains separate.
When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed by Angelina's performance that they allowed her to copyright her version and it has been and continues to be available on several music streaming services - she also performs this song often in live appearances such as this one in Summber 2022 at age 16: th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
"Back in Black" is one of her more "challenging" songs, in the sense that to fully appreciate it you have to be familiar with the original, know the backstory behind Angelina's version (i.e., that she rewrote the entire song from scratch in one day), and listen to it several times to work out what she's actually singing (the lyrics you can find easily online are, unfortunately, _riddled_ with errors, from the very first line onwards). Not to mention that she was 10 and that her vocals seem to have been captured "live" in almost a single take (the second one they recorded). When considered in that context, it's actually pretty damned impressive. But, yeah… it's probably not the best introduction to her. This one doesn't demand quite as much of the listener (by design, of course, given the circumstances under which it was performed). Almost everyone has at least a passing familiarity with the original and can instantly recognize that she has done somethng very different with it. And most people can appreciate that she's singing it very well, and revealing a lot of different abilities in the process. The next one you will be doing (everyone knows which one is going to win the poll) is a less widely known song (I mean, the original is less known to the general public), but her performance of it is even more obviously "way beyond her years". Looking forward to it…
Remaining members of Queen Evangeline of the copy rights to her version, that's how impressed they were, they also hit her up on Instagram and told her what an Amazing rendition of the song
There isn't a longer version of precisely that rendition, which was Angelina's specific arrangment for the show... but here's a clip of her singing the opening part of the Queen song, just while relaxing at a hotel (I think it was where she and her guitarist Egil stayed when she sang at some event for the likes of President Obama); it's just a little clip but lovely I think... she just loves to sing, any time, any where... th-cam.com/video/w7lysXLIXrE/w-d-xo.html
Nice recovery! While most Angels will tell you that they have a hard time choosing their favorite Angelina song/performance or that they have 30-100 songs in their "top 10", I can say since first listen, this my number 1 AJ song/performance (although her performance at the Unforgettable Gala is so so close). Glad to see you're going to check out more. Words fail in trying to describe what and how she does what she does. Ultimately, it's best described by saying, "It's Angelina ". Great reaction. Enjoy the next and all the rest.
You asked about the entire song of Bohemian Rhapsody with Angelina,but this doe not exist,but here is a little rehersel With the Norwegian guitarist Egil Clausen with the first part of the song. th-cam.com/video/w7lysXLIXrE/w-d-xo.html
Guys, you've come across a young bard here with a smacking 18 charisma. She'll spend her next stat increase on charisma too :) There's no one like Angelina. Love your room there! Cheers from a dude that's been a DnD junkie for 35 years 😄
Nice reaction, she's good ain't she, you've just lit the blue touch paper, now keep going and wait for the fireworks. Try " I put a Spell on you, black " and white version th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html I promise it will blow your mind. Hurry up, I'm waiting.
Wrong, not so sure but perhaps not the best to start with. She is known as the girl of a thousand voices and some are more "out there" than others, This one is more relatable to many. As a young artist, she experiments widely and sometimes wildly, always great but perhaps unexpected.
Over 100 million views and considered the Greatest Talent Show performance ever by many. She takes iconic songs to the next level by singing them how they should be sung. She makes them her own while respecting the original artist with their nuances. Next has to be "I Put a Spell on You" at 9 years old. Will blow your mind.
Thanks guys for a great reaction. Hope you'll dive more into the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole for there's plenty to watch and hear. If you wanna see Angelina's incredible vocal range, here are the titles to react to: "I'd rather go blind" (Etta James) at age 12. Then "I put a spell on you" (at 9) (Screaming J. Hawkins), then "How great thou art" (Elvis version) at 12. But then there are a multitude of songs that she performs better than the original artist (Rihanna or Adele or Lana Del Rey). If by any chance you're fod of Frank Sinatra, watch her sing "You make me feel so young" or "My funny valentine"
Very fine reaction guys....and yes we all agree, to short but the restrictions of performing on this show only allowed her to create this arrangement in that limited time. As you know already, Queen members praised this version on their twitter account and gave her copyrights to this version....don't get much better than that. As far as your "polling" goes I have to believe that we "Angels" already know the result, as you shall see. Cheers, stay well.... 🥰🥰🥰🥰
So glad you now get Angelina. I actually loved her rendition of Back to Black and was fortunate enough to see Amy Winehouse perform this live. Angelina changed some of the lyrics to make them age appropriate and she did it beautifully. I have been watching her most days since I first discovered her about a year ago and have never been disappointed. I am 70 years old and grew up listening to mainly 60’s music which I obviously love, however, I can honestly say that I have NEVER been so impressed by any singer as I have by Angelina. She is so versatile it’s almost uncanny! You will no doubt be bombarded with requests for you to react to I put a Spell on You, by Screaming Jay Hawkins. Put a cushion on the table in front of you so you don’t split your chins when your jaws drop open! She was 9 years old and the arrangement is her own, an amazing performance. Another of my favourites is her sing with Alan Walker at a concert, she was 10 I believe and was I’ll, but being the trouper she is pulled off a brilliant show. Well worth watching. Enjoy!
If you want to hear a more recent song by the Barefoot Princess, try her tribute to Elvis "Suspicious Minds." BTW, the entire Norway's Got Talent thing in on YT.
Guys, I think you understand now. There's a video that shows all 4 of her Norways Got Talent songs, all jazz and 1 more modern, 2 Billie Holliday, 1 Nancy Sinatra, and Summertime, Age 7. Then do I Put a Spell on You, Age 9. You will love them. By all means listen to the original of this one by Screamin J Hawkins.
Here are links to Angelina’s four NGT competition performances… 7 years old NGT audition, ‘Gloomy Sunday’ (Billie Holiday): th-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/w-d-xo.html 7-8 years old NGT cut-off round, a cappella ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’: th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html 8 years old NGT semi final, ‘Shot Me Down - Bang Bang’ (Sonny Bono/Cher): youtu.be/watch?v=7LVHl_juO-Q&t=99 (1:39) 8 years old NGT final, ‘Summertime’ (George Gershwin): youtu.be/watch?v=zN4kAof1is0&t=110 (1:50)
Again, she created this song where she did it is her interpretation of the song it’s not been done this way never that’s why I Simon Cowell say I never heard that version. It’s never been done before because she created it. She is a musical genius aProdigy again there’s no one like her. Her voice is so unique it can’t be copied.
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 TH-cam. 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. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. 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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. 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 TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, 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 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 hundreds of millions. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
WOW. I really love your style, guys. Reacting style that is🤣😂 NAH.. you're good. I see that others have filled you in on the details already, so I don't have to. I just want to say that the poll thing on your community tab is a straight up KILLER move. Totally awesome! Critical hit with a max damage multiplier for sure. I waited with my subscription after your first reaction to her to see if you'd do another, and now we're good 😉 And more than good. I have subscribed for more, and based off of this reaction, I think we will see a lot more form her on your channel. And I am ready for it! I wish you a Happy Easter, guys ♥ Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥ Btw, has anyone said that she will become the future G.O.A.T. ? If not, I just told you 🙂
I can’t wait to see you guys do down the rabbit hole!!! Start at the beginning!! Remember she won already at 7??? Go to norways got talent for all the slow jazz your hearts desire!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Guys this might help..Superfan Rusty Shackleford put this library together of her work in chronological order (190 performances lol)..here ya go.. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html
Am subscribing just to see your reactions to 1)'I Put A Spell On You' at age 9, 2)'What A Difference A Day Makes' at 8, 3)Fly Me To The Moon...Acoustic Version' at 7 and 4)Feeling Good' at 10, because you like that jazz influence. Then you can experience her bluesy 'I'd Rather Go Blind' maybe at 11, along with her tributes to Whitney, Aretha, Elvis, Lou Rawls, Adele and her own compositions. Enjoy!
Wow we're so happy you found Angelina Jordan Since you mentioned, you liked slow jazz, here's a link to Angelina singing a Billie Holiday tune. I am a fool to watch you enjoy. th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html Here is Angelina singing I'm a fool to want you same song Four years later, 11 years old in a recording studio with her grandma Mery recording her... enjoy this too. th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹Loved your reaction❗ 1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records. 3. AJ began singing at 18 months. Her grandmother was a jazz/blues fan and played that genre of music for AJ. She fell in love with it very early on and has even arranged most if not all that she sings from age 8. What an incredible talent. 4. In 2020 she was in her mid-teenage years, stood 6 foot tall and to this day she still performs barefoot. The backstory of her encounter with the homeless girl she met while she traveled with her family through Iran at age 6 includes the weather damaged bare feet of the child she gave her own shoes to. 5. The reason she performs barefoot is to bring awareness to her public of the children worldwide who can't afford shoes of their own. She has raised millions of dollars for clothing including shoes for those unfortunate children. 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother, now deceased). 7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 8. BTW I'm 81yo and have been involved privately in music since my age of 7. 9. Here's AJ, probably 10 or 11 years old, singing an old Cole Porter classic. "Every Time We Say Goodbye" th-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/w-d-xo.html
Angelina made that version for that show and AGT requires 90 seconds and no longer than something like 2 minutes or just over,,,, Queen liked her version so much that they gave her the rights to her version of their song,, which was never done in History nor since then.. They also said Freddy would have loved Angelina,,, You are already on 2020 AGT so ya may as well watch the second and third songs she did before she left the show. #2 was her version of Elton John "Yellow Brick Road" and the last one brought the House down called "Someone To Love" but make sure to find the one that you can hear the crowd in the first 2 seconds,, there is a version that someone took the crowd noise out and it dont sound correct and there is skips and other abnormalities,,, Then I'm sure you have been bombarded to hear the BLACK And WHITE version of "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" 100% chance your jaws will drop... BUT I really suggest you Look up the original 1956 Screaming Jay Hawkins " I put a spell on you",,, to better under stand what a 9 year old girl had studied before she rewrote the lyrics re arranged the song and hand wrote her "wishes" for the band to follow ...
I'm guessing AJ used this song on that show because everyone has heard it to death, so knows it. Then she picked the section that she could enhance. Smart kid
Sorry guys there's no longer version of her, but she has a bunch of Songs from her practice the last 10y nearly 200 and all are worth to hear and react. A new Album will come out in a few weeks 👍🔥🎶🙏
This isshe created it it’s unique I’ve never been a version like this done before this is something has never been done by him Rhapsody but she’s a miracle musical genius in The Prodigy do you speak three languages and please find me instruments she’s 13 or would you turn 14 should be signed the Republic records which is for a short time now and she’s been sitting around the world doctors in concert. She’s a Season veteran with a voice is so unique and I can’t be copy.
OK she got a part in a Lilyhammer Siri play the girl in the lounge singing that that right for you guys? He was raised that Singh and Janice at age 1 1/2 she’s a generation singer she’s been singing around the world. She got several albums out to get ready put a new one out this year. She’s been in Norway doing a concert when she leaves there. She’ll be going to Japan to do a concert and she was at the fire Sabor award show, the ward show and she got to sing the theme song. We are the best in France now she’s 6 foot tall now and her voice is immaculate. She sang from 350 million people on television and 10,000 million I was on the podcast I know I know how many people watch this she’s on our way to becoming international singing star.
***ATTENTION*** There was a major typo when the poll was created and the deadline date was supposed to be listed as 4/12/2023 NOT 7/12/2023. I tried to edit the poll post but that option is not available. Rest assured, the date is 4/12/2023. Thanks to @Ron Crans for pointing this out. Sorry for any confusion!!
Clay
It doesn't matter. You could have had the poll up for only 10 minutes. The winning song would still be the same.😄
Okay Men!!! Angelina was in this performance absolutely goddess👸I love it ❤the next Video from Angelina the best cover ever for me is „I put A Spell On You“ original from Jay Hawkins 1956 Angelina is in this performance 9 years old !!!

Great reaction gays👍👌Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭❤️🙏✌️👍👋🏻🙋♂️Roger over and out.😊
To be able to turn a classic rock anthem into a heartrending ballad is a remarkable achievement and only gives a hint to this girl's talent. She's one of a kind. 😎
I Know what the next video is going to be! All I can say, when your ready to play "it" is Gentlemen, "You had better Buckle Up❗️"
🌺🌺
There is no longer version of this arrangement, this is Angelina's copyrighted version. Queen was so impressed they posted it on their website with the comment "Wow what a rendition." They gave her the copyrights to this arrangement & it went viral, resulting in millions of people listening to the original again. I think it's ironic that by her doing this performance she not only jumpstarted her career in the US, but made Queen a lot of money. They love her!!! Liked & subed for more Angelina.
Wow amazing
One of the amazing things about this young lady is that, yes, she had the confidence to cover Queen and Freddie. But she also knew to pay tribute without trying to mimic Freddie. She made her own beautiful arrangement. And the surviving members have commented on this. They loved it and actually gave Angelina permission to record her version.
You guys are going to be Angelized
Sadly there isn’t a longer version. They are also only allowed just over 3 minutes singing on the show.Freddie would be so proud of her we are . Angelina is going to take the world by storm this year . Her first Album is due out anytime with Republic Records. She’s now 17 years old but she’s still managing to do her schoolwork and go and record at Republic Records at the same time.Angelina is the greatest female singer I’ve ever heard . I’m 70 now so I’ve heard a lot of great singers in my time but not one of them has the talent Angelina has . She’s in a class of her own and always will be . I listen to her every single day . She’s very humble and she’s got a heart of gold 💛Angelina has raised millions for children’s charities and the environment. There’s no stopping her. Great Reaction guys from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👸🏻👸🏻👼👼🦶👌👍
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our barefoot Princess, after this performance Angelina received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating her on a amazing performance and the guys from Queen gave Angelina the copyright to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, and Angelina received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, this performance also has over 100 million views on social media platforms, great reaction thanks 🙏
Her fans is called "Angels". I can just welcome you fellow Angels. Your lifes not going to be the same after the Angelina-journey
Guys, when you see her 4 years before this your admiration will grow 10 times for Angelina.
Brian May gave her the rights to this version. He was impressed with her take. And Freddy is smiling right now at your reaction.
Now that you've been introduced to AJ in her more adult phase, you have to react to her Norway's Got Talent 4 performances where she actually started for the world. She started that at 7 years old singing jazz and blues. Jazz and blues are her foundational styles and can be heard in nearly all her songs.
I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or even, what genre she fits in, & I have come to accept, that she doesn't fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in a league, of her own.....One thing I do know, is every time I hear her voice, it touches my *HEART* & brings out *EMOTIONS,* some of which, I didn't even know existed! What an amazing gift Angelina is!!! 💝💝💝 I would highly recommend her version of Screaming Jay Hawkins, I put a spell on you!
wanted to see if you would consider reacting to an a capella group called Pentatonix. They do amazing covers. They do Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody & so many more. No instruments!! They will blow your mind!!!
Nice reaction guys. I’m happy for you guys that you came back to AJ! You will be so thankful you did. Once you recognize the immense talent and how special a person she is, EVERY Angelina Jordan experience will contain something special. Sometimes mind shattering.
The “too short!” criticism is the only real one she gets! I always want more. Get ready to get blown away over and over again!
Now you understand… Watching you guys when Angelina started to sing was something that happens a lot. Angelina has you captivated at the first few notes. Her voice can be mesmerizing as you heard today, but she covers many different genres just beautifully, as you’ll see.
You don’t need to do the poll. I’ll tell you the results right now. The initiation rites for new reactors to Angelina require you to watch her cover of I Put a Spell on You. She’s 9 years old, singing live in a studio with a terrific jazz/blues band backing her, and it’s her own arrangement. Like Bohemian Rhapsody, it pays respect to the wild original version by Screamin Jay Hawkins, but this is all Angelina. It’s mind-blowing to watch and hear a 9 year old in complete charge, working beautifully with the musicians, and just killing it. I look forward to your reaction. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
💯 no poll needed
And, if you are not familiar with Scream'n Jay's version, it would be good if you watched his original beforehand.
Right, no poll needed. Just follow the link that's given you👍
^ what @johnvasi said...
Ditto
Surviving Queen members posted their appreciation for this performance and gave her the copyright to it.
Glad you guys gave her another chance! Nice reaction! Go Angelina !!!
Yes! Critical hits with max impact. You can ask for 4 requests, but you will soon find out, anything less than 40 will never suffice. I’m in for the journey ❤😊
I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th, 2020. It was this phenomenal performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT Champions, and I have listened to her every day since then. I ran out of superlatives a long time ago trying to adequately describe her immense talent, so I will just say that she moves me like no other artist I've ever encountered. There are dozens of performances by her that will blow you away. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
The performance of her arrangement of Queen’s, Bohemian Rhapsody, on America's Got Talent, helped launch her international singing career...again.
Angelina Jordan a 13-year-old from Norway sang an understated abridged version of the epic song on a recent episode, impressing the audience judges and the band itself. The following morning, Queen retweeted the show’s official account adding "Wow!What a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody!" Because of Queen's Outstanding support of her rendition, Angelina Jordan, Inc. now owns the copyright to her version of Bohemian Rhapsody.🌺🌺
Hey guys!!! Thanks for your great reaction and here are two more amazing songs Angelina did !!! The first is her 2022 rendition of " My Funny Valentine" and the second is "Above the water" These are some of my favorite Angelina songs. Oh and a bonus is a song she wrote and arranged called "Shield" have fun bro. Ray
The song got 77 million views and she got a contract with the republic records when she turned 14
Out of those choices, it's going to be a landside "I put a spell on you".. Just remember to do the black and white version (She's 9 years old). :)
Thank you for that. I have seen this particular suggestion several time but thank you very much for the reminder! We will make sure to do the B&W one if it is the winner!
Clay
@@criticalhitsbadmisses Here is the link to IPASOY: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html (can’t imagine ‘if’)
@@criticalhitsbadmisses That one was recorded "around her 9th birthday" (January 2015) according to her management, mother and all.. 2 months later according to all commenters on YT. January 2015 is still correct.
Jordan has a big club following. People support child singers well into their adulthood. I was a big fan of Judy Garland when I was growing up as a kid when I was 10 years old. I thought Judy Garland was an Angel from Heaven. I am 73 years old now and still a fan of Judy Garland. Her many songs and movies she did over the years.
One of Judy Garland’s last great performances was at Carnegie Hall.
e pluribus u-num
With all the gimmicks that are used in what is known as music today it is so refreshing to come across a being that does not need auto tune, lightshows, dancers, outrageous costumes, bands, or orchestras to cover their weaknesses because she has none. AJ can perform a Capella, or with one or two instruments to follow her lead and give you chills with each performance. I have always enjoyed all genres of music, and being 75, I have experienced the best the industry has to offer, from the early 50s, to 2023, but I have never been moved emotionally in the past anywhere close to what Angelina Jordan does from 7 to 17. When I heard Celine Dion perform in a tint in Québec when she was a child, I predicted she would be the next world superstar, and the rest is history. Celine did not sign a record contract until she was in her early 20s. David Foster, who made Celine a star flew to Norway after Angelina wone NGT and tried to sign her, but her family wanted to stay in control of her future. Angelina, at 13, appeared on AGT and getting worldwide recognition signed with the largest record company in the world at age 14, Republic Records. The story is that Monty Lipman, the CEO personally signed her even without meeting AJ, he was shown a video of her performance. Angelina Jordan will be the next Super Nova very soon. As for being her biggest fan, e pluribus u-num.
Hey Guys, great review. Angelina is a once in a generation vocalist. She is just amazing. I have to let you guys know that there is another young lady that is also making waves. Her name is Lucy Thomas. She by far has the most angelic voice I have ever heard. She has 4 albums out now and is the same age as Angelina. Some of her songs are getting close to 50 million views now. So give her a listen. I would start with her version of “Hallelujah”. You will not be disappointed.
Back To Black was probably not the best introduction to Angelina Jordan :-) This one is one of her top interpretations. The shortness is due to the format of the show and so no there is no longer one. She has sung again but in the same arrangement. She made this arrangement herself just like she made her own suit using a print from her grandmother’s art.
She has done many great reinterpretations of big songs. A cool jazz version of Billie Jean, th-cam.com/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/w-d-xo.html, a spectacular version of Screaming Jays Hawkins I Put a Spall on You, th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html , and a slowed down version of Avicii’s Wake Me Up, th-cam.com/video/F5omCuTQ9S0/w-d-xo.html, and also many songs where the rearrangement is closer to the original but always she adds a lot of her own uniqueness.
She also has a bunch of originals and you’d probably love her song 7th Heaven, th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html, and Million Miles with a video production th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html or a slowed down live version th-cam.com/video/x9dVG5Pgq9o/w-d-xo.html
Well said, Bart. Ditto from me.
Queen themselves shared this performance on their socials, saying Wow, what a rendition ❤️ I got goosebumps and chills listening to that performance every time ❤️ In my book it is the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ And 13 years old... are you kidding me... 😳
Yes, we would all have loved a longer version, but this was arranged by Angelina to fit in the 2:30 to 3:00 time slot allowed for each contestant. I, like both of you, think AJ did a phenomenal job fitting it to the allowed time. Keep the voting on the Community page going, you only have about 180 or so more videos to go. 😁 I am subscribed for more Angelina.
Gentlemen, a true MASTERPIECE performance never to be forgotten. Angelina has near to 200 video's on You Tube for you to enjoy. They include songs from when she was 6 years old to right now. (She is 17. Her birthday is Jan 10th.) Guys, if you mix it up a little that's okay. What I mean is listen to her sing something at 16 years old and then something from she was 10 years old and you won't be disappointed. Yep, she has touched your hearts with her love. That's what all that tingling was. And that's what she does. She is all about love and we get the message by just looking at her singing through the screen.
I like your idea about helping select the next song. But, remember, she does a lot of old stuff and if you see one you like, put it up. She doesn't cover old songs. Instead, even though she pays homage to the original song and artist, she makes her version a brand new song. The best way to say it is, she is the whole package! 10's; 10's, 10's across the board.
Songs, well the next one would be her rendition ot Screamin' Jay Hawkin's "I Put a Spell on You", in B&W, perfomred at age 9, a year after winning Norway's Got Talent singing her version of "Summertime", a stunning performance. BTW, buckle up for her arrangement of Jay's song, she keeps the original shock rock approach but with her own spin. You'll see what I mean.
This might be the referenced recording of ST: th-cam.com/video/X6i-U-ZvZdg/w-d-xo.html
This one was 2016: th-cam.com/video/X6i-U-ZvZdg/w-d-xo.html
Nice reaction. Angelina brings out the good part of our souls . Already a mega talent with millions of fans. Keep em coming, and enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you guys.
The surviving members of Queen tweeted Angelina their congratulations on this performance.
The best female voice this side of Heaven !!!
Lars, yes: I've a sneaking feeling that she's in heaven singing to us - calling us to be there with her. We're so blessed, being this side, and knowing she is there. Probably something like that! :) j from nz
Yup, it's rare I forget to even think about comparing the original with a cover, where my dumb brain isn't finding the differences and distracting me. But this one within two seconds I was on an entirely different journey with a separate piece of art, what a journey too.
No, no longer version, Queen immediately heard this and gave her the rights to her version, shortened for a show unfortunately right. But it's pure gold anyway, and we won't get a full version ever, that would kind of be a slap in the face to the incredible gift of Rights she received from them I feel. While I don't care, I don't think she would risk that knowing it's a potential way to take it. Her version is unreal and lasts forever as is as well. It's done so much for her, her own creation, but it's her most propelling work as far as I can tell for her brand, maybe by far. God you should see her this past summer in Norway singing it, it is a bit different because her voice got so beautiful and her skills are insane now. She was 16, it's way jazzier, but I think more from her growth than anything.
Did anyone mention she got Heidi's golden buzzer for this performance?
She's pure talent. Amazing in every song she sings.
If want to see her in the jazz club, watch “Seventh Heaven”, which is one of her original songs.
I agree with your request, but there's about 3 or 4 different recordings of that song! It would help these gentlemen if you posted a link to the one you're recommending.
The girl is just the best
Start at the beginning of her career and the joy of watching this adorable creature grow up before your eyes
Her BR rendition is definitely a critical hit - and out of her 180+ covers and originals I have yet to find a bad miss. In fact I don't think she has even one single-digit die roll on a 20-sided die!
New sub, greetings from Greece.
Now that you've been introduced to AJ in her more adult phase, you have to react to her Norway's Got Talent 4 performances where she actually started for the world. She started that at 7 years old singing jazz and blues. Jazz and blues are her foundational styles and can be heard in nearly all her songs.
I'm sorry - 13 years old means her "adult phase"?!!
@@silversurfer8278 "More" adult phase musically. Distinctly less child like phase.
I think at age13, a normal child becomes an adolescent, and that is Angelina in her physical growth. But she is far from "normal" in her ability as a]n artist, and in that respect you are totally correct to refer to her "adult phase"
@@silversurfer8278 her "adult phase" start from age 10. 😁
Hi CH&BM,
thanks a billion for this wonderfull reaction to Angelina Jordans version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Actually - no matter which song from Angelina you choose, all are wonderfull, the main thing is that you continue reacting to Angelina Jordan. And as I mentioned in my comment to your first reaction to her, all songs are worth to react to - even the "oldest" when she was first time in a booth 6yo! 🙃(link is in my first comment)
Nice idea with the poll - I voted and laughed as I saw that my vote leads wit 90% 😁
And for this I would like to remember to my proposal in my comment to your first AJ reaction:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her last changes for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a virtuoso tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :)))
The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;)
At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-)
Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;)
...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :))
Have a nice day and happy Easter!
CU in your next AJ reaction

Superb rendition of this beautiful but quite tricky song. Angelina is on my personal list of ' superleague ' young artists which includes instrument players as well as vocalists. She really is a rare talent. I think it's a shame it took a 'talent' show appearance to give her a lift, if that's what happened. Social media music platforms seem to work well if you can work out how to get it to work for you so that you get more exposure. Miss Sherlock dropped out of BGT on professional advice, Miss Protsenko doesn't seem to have been harmed by not being accepted but people such as Ayu Gusfanz, Yoyo1212guitar and very many more, I suppose would need some form of support or exposure due to being Indonesian, Chinese etc not being the most likely to be covered by the popular channels to musical appreciation.
Angelina is absolutely excellent and whilst not my personal favourite that doesn't mean in any way whatsoever that I don't think her to be world class and hugely engaging. In my younger days comparing The Beatles to The Stones never worked. People had their favourites but few could deny the magic in both of those bands.
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in my 75 years of listening to the best the world has to offer
She has so many covers and a few originals, but probably the next one you should check out is " I put a spell on you" black and white version, she is 9 in that one. Many more to choose from have fun its a long journey.
These auditions have time requirements. But she did not do what other time-focused jugglers do. She actually approached it with musical intelligence and wrote the arrangement. True to her story-telling track record, she portrayed the gist of this song/story and its emotional truth so well that my heart touched Freddy Mercury's ongoing heart. Truly. I still cry when I hear this performance, and my body gets chills all over. What am I going on? Well over 200 times? I'm so glad you got to experience this exquisite rendition of a great song. She is gifted. At age 17 in 2023, she's dropping an album later this year and the first single was announced as dropping some time this month. Thanks for listening to the reactions and going for this. Do listen to it many times again. Grandma Ellen, out.
I love you Gma Ellen. Nothing actually personal!
@@mangatitiful Got it. Enjoy Spring and Summer.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: th-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/w-d-xo.html
I picked the song on the community page. I'm excited to see you discover the many performances. I'm thinking about James Brown's "It's a Man's world" . Now careful boys, there are videos where the sound is not so clear and then there's one at her second festival where you can hear the power of her voice. Maybe an Angel can supply the link? I'm old and have no idea on how to attach a link in these chats.
I'm looking forward to seeing your next reaction to AJ😊
I know of at least 3 recordings of UAMW. This is the concert I see most. The audio was problematic because of spectators proximity to the stage: th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html
This is the same event but some sound enhancement has been applied: th-cam.com/video/tGXnodBLyUg/w-d-xo.html

Hey guys thanks for sticking around. Just voted on your poll...no surprises, btw none are bad choices. Just the one that actually won, will solidify your Four Footed Jump into to the Angelina Rabbit hole. I suggest you your read all 5430 comments the AJ fan base will leave...just kidding, but don't worry about your song choices, as much as learning AJ backstory...that will help you circumnavigate through her large amazing song portfolio,
I noticed on your community tab that you are doing a Metallica count down...well have I got another rabbit hole. 10 years ago 3 young girls (sisters) from Mexico did a Enter Sandman cover that blew up on You Tube... even Metallica loved it. So much so that on the recent Metallica Blacklist album the first song on the Album is Enter Sandman by the rock group "The Warning" these same now grown up little girls along with Alesia Cara wrote a new version of the song. The video is great, The live done without Alesia is amazing. I will leave two links, that song and another one of their songs from a Concert in Mexico this past summer. Enjoy, by the way The Warning fan Base called "The Warning Army" is bigger and just as wildly You Tube supporter as The "Angles" Angelina fan base. I am a proud member of both, if you watch AJ and The Warning regularly they will get you to 10,000 in 30 days.

There is a short clip predating AGT in which Angelina sings a different part of the song, but that one sounds closer to the original and remains separate.
When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
One song that isn't on the poll that you should definitely react to is "I'm Still Holding Out for You." th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed by Angelina's performance that they allowed her to copyright her version and it has been and continues to be available on several music streaming services - she also performs this song often in live appearances such as this one in Summber 2022 at age 16: th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
"Back in Black" is one of her more "challenging" songs, in the sense that to fully appreciate it you have to be familiar with the original, know the backstory behind Angelina's version (i.e., that she rewrote the entire song from scratch in one day), and listen to it several times to work out what she's actually singing (the lyrics you can find easily online are, unfortunately, _riddled_ with errors, from the very first line onwards). Not to mention that she was 10 and that her vocals seem to have been captured "live" in almost a single take (the second one they recorded). When considered in that context, it's actually pretty damned impressive. But, yeah… it's probably not the best introduction to her.
This one doesn't demand quite as much of the listener (by design, of course, given the circumstances under which it was performed). Almost everyone has at least a passing familiarity with the original and can instantly recognize that she has done somethng very different with it. And most people can appreciate that she's singing it very well, and revealing a lot of different abilities in the process.
The next one you will be doing (everyone knows which one is going to win the poll) is a less widely known song (I mean, the original is less known to the general public), but her performance of it is even more obviously "way beyond her years". Looking forward to it…
Remaining members of Queen Evangeline of the copy rights to her version, that's how impressed they were, they also hit her up on Instagram and told her what an Amazing rendition of the song
There isn't a longer version of precisely that rendition, which was Angelina's specific arrangment for the show... but here's a clip of her singing the opening part of the Queen song, just while relaxing at a hotel (I think it was where she and her guitarist Egil stayed when she sang at some event for the likes of President Obama); it's just a little clip but lovely I think... she just loves to sing, any time, any where... th-cam.com/video/w7lysXLIXrE/w-d-xo.html
Nice recovery! While most Angels will tell you that they have a hard time choosing their favorite Angelina song/performance or that they have 30-100 songs in their "top 10", I can say since first listen, this my number 1 AJ song/performance (although her performance at the Unforgettable Gala is so so close). Glad to see you're going to check out more. Words fail in trying to describe what and how she does what she does. Ultimately, it's best described by saying, "It's Angelina ". Great reaction. Enjoy the next and all the rest.
You asked about the entire song of Bohemian Rhapsody with Angelina,but this doe not exist,but here is a little rehersel With the Norwegian guitarist Egil Clausen with the first part of the song.

Guys, you've come across a young bard here with a smacking 18 charisma. She'll spend her next stat increase on charisma too :) There's no one like Angelina. Love your room there! Cheers from a dude that's been a DnD junkie for 35 years 😄
Nice reaction, she's good ain't she, you've just lit the blue touch paper, now keep going and wait for the fireworks. Try " I put a Spell on you, black " and white version th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
I promise it will blow your mind. Hurry up, I'm waiting.
Wrong, not so sure but perhaps not the best to start with. She is known as the girl of a thousand voices and some are more "out there" than others, This one is more relatable to many. As a young artist, she experiments widely and sometimes wildly, always great but perhaps unexpected.
Over 100 million views and considered the Greatest Talent Show performance ever by many.
She takes iconic songs to the next level by singing them how they should be sung.
She makes them her own while respecting the original artist with their nuances.
Next has to be "I Put a Spell on You" at 9 years old. Will blow your mind.
Seconded!
Stand up bass?
Watch 7th Heaven, its one of her originals.
What is Life is her first original at 12yo and is my favorite song from anyone.
Thanks guys for a great reaction. Hope you'll dive more into the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole for there's plenty to watch and hear. If you wanna see Angelina's incredible vocal range, here are the titles to react to: "I'd rather go blind" (Etta James) at age 12. Then "I put a spell on you" (at 9) (Screaming J. Hawkins), then "How great thou art" (Elvis version) at 12. But then there are a multitude of songs that she performs better than the original artist (Rihanna or Adele or Lana Del Rey). If by any chance you're fod of Frank Sinatra, watch her sing "You make me feel so young" or "My funny valentine"
Awesome reaction and I don't do Facebook, but I recommend, "What a Difference A Day Makes", when she was 8, God Bless!
Here is a link to WADADM: th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html
Very fine reaction guys....and yes we all agree, to short but the restrictions of performing on this show only allowed her to create this arrangement in that limited time. As you know already, Queen members praised this version on their twitter account and gave her copyrights to this version....don't get much better than that. As far as your "polling" goes I have to believe that we "Angels" already know the result, as you shall see. Cheers, stay well.... 🥰🥰🥰🥰
*Its a pity you did the shorter version of the video.....she gets the Golden Buzzer for this performance*
So glad you now get Angelina. I actually loved her rendition of Back to Black and was fortunate enough to see Amy Winehouse perform this live. Angelina changed some of the lyrics to make them age appropriate and she did it beautifully. I have been watching her most days since I first discovered her about a year ago and have never been disappointed. I am 70 years old and grew up listening to mainly 60’s music which I obviously love, however, I can honestly say that I have NEVER been so impressed by any singer as I have by Angelina. She is so versatile it’s almost uncanny! You will no doubt be bombarded with requests for you to react to I put a Spell on You, by Screaming Jay Hawkins. Put a cushion on the table in front of you so you don’t split your chins when your jaws drop open! She was 9 years old and the arrangement is her own, an amazing performance. Another of my favourites is her sing with Alan Walker at a concert, she was 10 I believe and was I’ll, but being the trouper she is pulled off a brilliant show. Well worth watching. Enjoy!
If you want to hear a more recent song by the Barefoot Princess, try her tribute to Elvis "Suspicious Minds." BTW, the entire Norway's Got Talent thing in on YT.
Here is the link to SM: th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Guys, I think you understand now. There's a video that shows all 4 of her Norways Got Talent songs, all jazz and 1 more modern, 2 Billie Holliday, 1 Nancy Sinatra, and Summertime, Age 7. Then do I Put a Spell on You, Age 9. You will love them. By all means listen to the original of this one by Screamin J Hawkins.
The only 4-in-1 video I know has a large section of IAFTWY edited out and/or no subtitles.

@@dojoswitzer Thanks again DJ.I hope they find the 4 versions.
@@garybarlow5447 I provided links in another reply
Again, she created this song where she did it is her interpretation of the song it’s not been done this way never that’s why I Simon Cowell say I never heard that version. It’s never been done before because she created it. She is a musical genius aProdigy again there’s no one like her. Her voice is so unique it can’t be copied.
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 TH-cam. 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.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, 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 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 hundreds of millions.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
WOW. I really love your style, guys. Reacting style that is🤣😂 NAH.. you're good. I see that others have filled you in on the details already, so I don't have to. I just want to say that the poll thing on your community tab is a straight up KILLER move. Totally awesome! Critical hit with a max damage multiplier for sure. I waited with my subscription after your first reaction to her to see if you'd do another, and now we're good 😉 And more than good. I have subscribed for more, and based off of this reaction, I think we will see a lot more form her on your channel. And I am ready for it!
I wish you a Happy Easter, guys ♥ Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥ Btw, has anyone said that she will become the future G.O.A.T. ? If not, I just told you 🙂
thank you . as you will soon see is that
she stands alone with her style .
I can’t wait to see you guys do down the rabbit hole!!!
Start at the beginning!! Remember she won already at 7??? Go to norways got talent for all the slow jazz your hearts desire!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Guys this might help..Superfan Rusty Shackleford put this library together of her work in chronological order (190 performances lol)..here ya go.. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html
Your shining eyes as I listened to it say more than anything else. Four Angelina songs to choose from are objectively few.
You need to hear her and guitarist do Caifornia Dreaming and I'd Rather Go Blind!!! you wont believe your ears!!!!
Am subscribing just to see your reactions to 1)'I Put A Spell On You' at age 9, 2)'What A Difference A Day Makes' at 8, 3)Fly Me To The Moon...Acoustic Version' at 7 and 4)Feeling Good' at 10, because you like that jazz influence. Then you can experience her bluesy 'I'd Rather Go Blind' maybe at 11, along with her tributes to Whitney, Aretha, Elvis, Lou Rawls, Adele and her own compositions. Enjoy!
Wow we're so happy you found Angelina Jordan Since you mentioned, you liked slow jazz, here's a link to Angelina singing a Billie Holiday tune. I am a fool to watch you enjoy. th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html

From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹Loved your reaction❗
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records.
3. AJ began singing at 18 months. Her grandmother was a jazz/blues fan and played that genre of music for AJ. She fell in love with it very early on and has even arranged most if not all that she sings from age 8. What an incredible talent.
4. In 2020 she was in her mid-teenage years, stood 6 foot tall and to this day she still performs barefoot. The backstory of her encounter with the homeless girl she met while she traveled with her family through Iran at age 6 includes the weather damaged bare feet of the child she gave her own shoes to.
5. The reason she performs barefoot is to bring awareness to her public of the children worldwide who can't afford shoes of their own. She has raised millions of dollars for clothing including shoes for those unfortunate children.
6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother, now deceased).
7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
8. BTW I'm 81yo and have been involved privately in music since my age of 7.
9. Here's AJ, probably 10 or 11 years old, singing an old Cole Porter classic. "Every Time We Say Goodbye" th-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/w-d-xo.html
Queen liked it some much they not only gave it a thumbs up on social media they gave her the license to perform it.
Angelina made that version for that show and AGT requires 90 seconds and no longer than something like 2 minutes or just over,,,, Queen liked her version so much that they gave her the rights to her version of their song,, which was never done in History nor since then.. They also said Freddy would have loved Angelina,,, You are already on 2020 AGT so ya may as well watch the second and third songs she did before she left the show. #2 was her version of Elton John "Yellow Brick Road" and the last one brought the House down called "Someone To Love" but make sure to find the one that you can hear the crowd in the first 2 seconds,, there is a version that someone took the crowd noise out and it dont sound correct and there is skips and other abnormalities,,, Then I'm sure you have been bombarded to hear the BLACK And WHITE version of "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU"
100% chance your jaws will drop... BUT I really suggest you Look up the original 1956 Screaming Jay Hawkins " I put a spell on you",,, to better under stand what a 9 year old girl had studied before she rewrote the lyrics re arranged the song and hand wrote her "wishes" for the band to follow ...
I'm guessing AJ used this song on that show because everyone has heard it to death, so knows it. Then she picked the section that she could enhance. Smart kid
Great reaction guys. This young lady is a phenomenal artist.
Sorry guys there's no longer version of her, but she has a bunch of Songs from her practice the last 10y nearly 200 and all are worth to hear and react. A new Album will come out in a few weeks 👍🔥🎶🙏
Angelina Jordan, The Show Must Go On!
Mercury said this, I don’t care what they do in my song as long as I don’t make it boring and she didn’t
This isshe created it it’s unique I’ve never been a version like this done before this is something has never been done by him Rhapsody but she’s a miracle musical genius in The Prodigy do you speak three languages and please find me instruments she’s 13 or would you turn 14 should be signed the Republic records which is for a short time now and she’s been sitting around the world doctors in concert. She’s a Season veteran with a voice is so unique and I can’t be copy.
OK she got a part in a Lilyhammer Siri play the girl in the lounge singing that that right for you guys? He was raised that Singh and Janice at age 1 1/2 she’s a generation singer she’s been singing around the world. She got several albums out to get ready put a new one out this year. She’s been in Norway doing a concert when she leaves there. She’ll be going to Japan to do a concert and she was at the fire Sabor award show, the ward show and she got to sing the theme song. We are the best in France now she’s 6 foot tall now and her voice is immaculate. She sang from 350 million people on television and 10,000 million I was on the podcast I know I know how many people watch this she’s on our way to becoming international singing star.
