Angelina never ceases to amaze me, at just how incredibly talented she is, and that she can take her voice to newer levels, we have never heard before.....there is something so special about her ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only her voice, but her delivery is also her gift!
You said you weren’t ready for this. Get used to it. You’re never ready for Angelina. She makes everything her own-even songs you think shouldn’t be touched because they’re sacred-like Bohemian Rhapsody or Billie Jean or California Dreamin. Angelina always gives you her version. She doesn’t compete with the original because her versions are completely her own. Like this one today-you can’t compare it with the Elvis version: Angelina changes the tempo, the style, the interpretation of the lyrics. You might as well jump in all the way. Watch her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. It may be the best live performance I’ve ever seen.
Sir, the man at the piano is Mr. Rob Christie, chief of RR Studios LA, Grammy winner and today a friend of Angelina. She plays piano and guitar, that I saw myself, it´s said she can play violin and flute, that i´m not so sure. AJ speaks fluently Norwegian, English, Farsi/Persisan and Japanese, als it is said she speaks Swedish, (dad an relatives are Swedish). Most of her Stage clothes she taylors herself (designing and sewing), she sketches the story boards for her videos and arranges her songs since age of 7. Sir, I wish you safety, health and happiness. Elmar from Germany.
Darrnell, welcome into Angelina Jordan magical world of music. I hope you will continue to react to Angelina because there is so much to discover and each time you will be amazed.
So, so beautiful ❤️ The Arrangement, the voice, the piano... everything is pure gold 👍 You wanna hear some belting... check out her live performance of its a mans world age 12 ❤️ Its one of her epic ones ❤️ You wanna check out her original songs... check out her original song, Million Miles, live this year from Norway. On the 10th of July in Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord ❤️ The song is about the passing of her grandpa 😢❤️
She was 7 yrs old and sang a song,in her second performance on Norway's got talent,and sang it Acapella.and her song million miles was written by her,and was dedicated to her grandfather who passed away.
She also plays the violin and flute. Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. If you haven’t already reacted to her latest studio of Whitney Houston's version you should - here’s the link - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html 🙂
Great reaction, check out millions miles she wrote about her grandfather that passed away a few years ago if you wanna check out her music. Or 7th heaven. Both are really good. 👍👍👍
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising! Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 165 chronological performances, including five originals. m.th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love. th-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanOfficial Please remember to include in your description the Original Video link as well as the artist Official Channel, if you have not already done so.

Great reaction! Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, helped produced this. She used the same store (Melrose Gallery) she used for her My Funny Valentine and I Have Nothing videos. Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano once again. He is also the music director of Republic Records, the music company she is signed with. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis from his comeback concert. What a performance and homage to The King! As far as original songs, you should check out her song 7th Heaven: th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html
Good to see you back, Darrnell. Dishes, the start of a marriage (Elvis and Priscilla Presley). Her 2 little cousins and then her sister represent Angelina's growth physically and artistically. I love your intelligent and heart-full reaction to Angelina Jordan's artistry. Her phrasing really serves the storytelling, too. Looking for your next AJ reaction, Darrnell. 💜
Love your reaction Darnell. She is legit. All that you see and hear comes from her. She is a mind blowing artist and yes, please do the Whitney Houston reaction you just saw. She does it justice.
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. Cole McCarthy has produced several of Angelina's music videos, and Mery Zaman is Angelina's maternal grandmother. She was the person who recognised Angelina's uniqueness at a very early age and introduced her to all the old 1920s - 1950s classic jazz, blues and soul singers. She and Angelina are very close. . Indeed, Angelina has an exceptional, loving family who have supported her from the start and still do. They were determined from the outset that Angelina would enjoy as normal a childhood as possible, with the emphasis on her education, and turned down all offers from the major record companies to sign her to their label until she and they considered she was ready to do so. In August 2020 she signed with Republic Records with a contract which is said to allow her complete artistic freedom. I am certain you know that the song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Absolutely amazing performance from Angelina, Cover of a Cover as the Original artist who wrote and performed this song didn’t achieve with his performance, then Elvis covered the song and it was a hit , the first two little girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins her managers children, the older girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette, production input from Angelina’s Grandma who is a talented artist, great reaction thanks 🙏
She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Angelina is the GOAT. Fortunately she has had every advantage and need all along the way to make sure she can give the world all she can while she grows. She and her family are happy and living well doing exactly what they decide is best for a kid still in school. IMO Angelina is doing everything right & with 200+ YT & IG videos discovering Angelina is a marvelous experience for more people every day. Still, I'm a worry wart and occasionally worry about her safety while hoping nothing bad ever happens to her of her family.
Darnell...I loved your reaction, this one and your first look at Agelina yesterday. I'm sure the Angels have bombarded you with their Angelina opinions. The thing is, Angelina is kinda like the wizard of oz and by jumping forward to her latest stuff ...you kind of pulled the curtain back and found this wizard can sing the shit out stuff. Impactfull is a good adjective to describe Angelina. I believe the best way to appreciate this once and. Generation singer is to go back to the beginning...good luck and I know you will be "Impacted"
Wait till you hear her version of Mt. Everest! Bro! like OMG! There are at least 50 performances where she made them Angelina's now! and the vocal changes are insane!
She plays piano, guitar, flute, I've heard violin and who knows what else. She will sing anything Acapella. Angelina is fearless. Most Artists shy away from singing Acapella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely anything Acapella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. .♥👣👸🏻 Try these. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ when she was 13 on AGT. I would however draw your attention to 3 of what I consider her 1st Masterpieces. ‘Summertime’ by George Gershwin her winning performance on Norway’s Got Talent at 8 yrs old. th-cam.com/video/nsBfBuc9d9I/w-d-xo.html ‘What a Difference a Day Makes’ by Dinah Washington also at 8 yrs old. What a Difference a Day Makes’ th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ by Frank Sinatra. th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html All at 8 yrs old. Watch as she closes her eyes and enters that world that she totally inhabits when she sings. Some of them sound somehow surreal and ethereal in some places. Then you will realize that her voice and performances have always been beautiful and unmatched in Musicality. “When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 ♥👣 Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing.
Yeh Angelina is a rare gem. Speaking of Acapella? Look up Angelina singing " I'm a fool to want you on Norway got talent when she was 7 yrs old. When I saw her perform that about 3 years ago I was hooked and realized her immeasurable musical gift, WOW! Check it out though you will appreciate it
Elvis Presley and his producer Felton Jarvis cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original arrangement completely and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version) and of course with Elvis Presley's voice. Pianist Rob Christie changed the musical arrangement and Angelina the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyric structure, starting with the bridge and giving the song a different meaning. Once again many people don't hear and understand the song until when Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Angelina crated the vocal arrangement and pianist, Rob Christie wrote the music arrangement. Executive producer, Mery Zamani is Angelina’s grandma and Mery is Angelina’s greatest creative influence.
Darnell, you crack me up. You are so funny. I love how astute and witty you are. You pick up the smallest nuance in her voice. Great review. Check out her version of Mount Everest song in Norway this summer, you will be amazed!
Your very early in your Angelina journey, but luckily for you. It's all on TH-cam. Have fun. Next I suggest you go back to her NGT performances (4) and that gives us a n idea where she's coming from. 😎
Her recent rendition of Labrinth's Mt Everest from her live concert will give u chills too... She has so many gems for u to check out..n I can't wait for your reaction.
Now that you've been blown away by Angelina performing at ages 9 and 16, you have about 200 more tracks from which to pick your next reaction (check both her "Official" & "Cover" channels). Her studio version of "I Have Nothing" (that you noticed at the end of this video) is absolutely worth a reaction. I look forward to seeing more Angelina here!
piano , guitar , flute , violin , sax and a few other stringed instruments. does her own arrangements ...can't wait until she starts producing...her voice is just starting to change and she is starting to show her upper range...
Great reaction man! I have a suggestion for you: since you mentioned she could carry on this song a capella, no other instrument needed (which is true!), check her out at 7 yo singing a jazz classic 'I'm a Fool to Want You' by Billie Holiday. Prepare to be shocked and brain frozen again! Your reaction will even be better if you listen to the original right before. Cheers!!
Hi Darrnell, thanks a billion for this seconde reaction to Angelina Jordan. You mentioned she could sing a cappella and actually she did! In the show "Norske Talenter" (The Norwegian Got Talent) she sung her seconde performance a cappella. But watch out which version you take: From "I'm a fool to want you" which in Norske Talenter AJ sings a capella there is a shorter version because there are 54 seconds cut out. And these 54 seconds are so good - even with speaking in - but the good thing of this version is, that you can't hear that there is something missing: AJ hit exactly the notes even after nearly a minute... Judges' Cut-Off with all of AJ's singing: "I’m a fool to want you": th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html Version, where at 1:13 is the cut where 54 sec. are missing and you don't hear it...: th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html ;-) Have fun with all future reactions to Angelina Jordan - and I'm sure there will be a lot... 😎 Stay well and healthy and best wishes from Berlin Andreas
Good reaction. Darnell, you're a big hearted man, and AJ is drawing it out as she does with us all. Like the best Jazz and Blues singers of the past, she is immersed in those emotions as she pours them out vocally to the listener. Unlike some other artists, it's never about her but about the integrity of the song, always capturing the intent of the song. Yes, she deserves the credit with inclusion of her TH-cam site, th-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanOfficialfeatured
Another nice example of Angelina’s maturing vocal talent in her rendition of ‘My Funny Valentine’, released early this year. Enjoy: th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
I enjoyed your reaction it's awesome to share your Angelina journey with all of us. Aside from her hair style, leather boots, black leather outfit & the subtle dust cloud from uncovering the piano... There is another fun fact that I noticed... Angelina's guitar was NOT a PROP as some reactors have commented in the past. She plays guitar as well as several other instruments. She could have used any guitar but she chose to pay homage to the king by using that particular model. Elvis used that guitar model in his '68 TV Comeback Special. A Hagstrom '67 Viking II Semi-Hollow Body, Transparent Wild Cherry, which recently sold at auction for $500,000 dollars. Playing piano is Rob Christie, Grammy award winner, music producer as well as Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group, her new recording label.
Thanks for reacting to (16) Angie. Love all of Angie's nods to Elvis, also his wife Priscilla (hair) & daughter Lisa Marie & Angie growing up too. Please react to her version of “I have nothing” by Whitney Houston th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html Official cover Looks like David even gave her the rights to her version of the song. Dropped 7-23-22. She’s 16. I love how Angie put in some of her jazzy back phrasing & R&B in it also. Angie On AGT Champions at 13 singing her rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. Even Queen was so blown away with it that they posted it & gave her the rights to it. th-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/w-d-xo.html (The performance was so astounding that Queen themselves posted a video of the teen singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on their twitter page with the caption:” Wow!!! What a rendition @angelinajordanA” And in an even more extraordinary turn of events, Queen then reportedly gave Angelina her blessing to record and release her own version of the song by giving her the copyright to do so.) This one below is an original from Angie. “Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html Live 7-7-22 at Kongsberg. (Angie wrote this after her grandpa died in 2019 during the filming of AGT-C)
You hv to react to her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT next. She always makes any song her own...Injecting more soul n emotion..interpreting the lyrics so well. She makes her own arrangements too.
Languages 5, fluent in 3. Instruments: Vocals: thousand voices Other instruments: Piano, Guitar, Flute, and Violin. Songs left to react to: 170+ which = good times!
Some of the best Angelina videos are: Gloomy Sunday (her audition at age 7): th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html Feeling Good (age 10): th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html I’d Rather Go Blind (singing like Etta James, age 12): th-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/w-d-xo.html A Millions Years Ago (like Adele, age 13): th-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/w-d-xo.html Seventh Heaven (an original by Angelina, age ~15): th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html
Some of her covers are on her official channel, some are on her cover channel. Beautiful voice, artistic choices and skill set isn't it? Amazing control. "I have nothing' is great. But her originals are 'shield' and 'what is life' at 12. "million miles' and '7th heaven' at 14 under her label Republic records. Should be on her upcoming album that would suggest. All her Adele covers and everything mentioned there are very solid suggestions IMO, but what isn't. My favorites are probably 'Million Miles' and 'My funny valentine', her more recent one. Although watching her sing for Jonathon Sugarfoot Moffett recently in short vids is even better, wonder if he was drumming in a few songs for her album. She went all out for him, 'Billy Jean' MJ, too short to react to, and 'I have nothing' Whitney Houston. Edit, her tiktok cover of 'crazy' by Patsy Cline is also maybe my favorite, and one of her longer tiktok's. Accidentally listened to it for like half hour the other day.
A PERFECT original song she wrote, "7th Heaven (studio version) gives you a taste of super SUH-WEEET Jazz HER way... Yup mr Friend, she's in a total different ATMOSPHERE and Talent for sure!! Great reaction (aside from the " F" bombs) but you were full bore blown away .. and you haven't even scratched the surface .. and that cover of I HAVE NOTHING studio version... All I can say is that final, long, velvety ribbon she ends with is iff the hook.. PEACE! 😀
---- Angelina sang I Have Nothing, Suspicious Minds, and other songs during her recent concert tour in Norway that ended with her July 10th Kurbadhagen concert in Sandefjord, Norway ---- Chris Walker did an excellent merged concert video of 5 fan videos into a single video of Angelina singing Suspicious Minds on July 10th at Kurbadhagen.

Yeah, this is what Angelina does..she drags an iconic song back to her cave and to a greater or lesser degree re-imagines it, makes it her own, and in effect, reintroduces it to the public. She has very few covers that were not blockbuster tunes originally. She is fearless and can sing pretty much anything. Great reaction! Here are a few you shouldn't miss!

A’ cappella?!!! You have NO idea how good she is a’ cappella. Here’s the FIRST time Angelina graced us with her a’ cappella voice (eight years old at Norway’s Got Talent). React to this… it will blow your mind! [it’s only 1:45 long 😉] m.th-cam.com/video/eR_RdEDMRRM/w-d-xo.html
That's Rob Christy on piano and she also plays 5 instruments and at least 4 languages English is her 3rd language and she recorded her first studio song in English and sang all her 4 songs on Norway got talent at 7years old and then I put a spell on you at 9 years old she has made over 130 covers in which most she personally remakes them her own including several she had to change the lyrics before her mom would let her record them so they were age appropriate,, her Amy Winehouse song she changed them in the car going to a photo shoot then to record when she was 10... she is unbelievable and so humble and caring for less fortunate children in the world look up her story on performing barefoot since she was 6 and still does at 16
Angelina also sang this song live at her recent Summer 2022 Norway Concerts - Here is an example - which includes her talking to the audience before singing the song: th-cam.com/video/bIBYDdWSw6Q/w-d-xo.html
... And for to review her development you should AFTER reacting to her version on Norske Talenter (link in my other comment 😁) react to her studio recording footage at 12 yo: th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html If I say that this is fantastic it would be underestimate her talent, her musical and vocal abilities… 😎
Got to check out Angelina sing "I have Nothing" by Whitney recently th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html You'll be going down the Angelina rabbithole.

![The Best Aura Moments in Nature [Casual Geographic] DB Reaction](/img/n.gif)
I am 74. I have seen both Angelina and Elvis live on stage - the two greatest artists the last century !!!
She has a old soul jazzed it up
God gifted her with a voice of many angles .
Angelina Jordan is the greatest singer in my 70-year lifetime. I truly believe she will go down as one of the greats in music.
This is a masterpiece! Magical voice! Thank you for your great reaction!👌💫❤️
She’s brilliant and only 16 - what a future ahead!!!
Angelina never ceases to amaze me, at just how incredibly talented she is, and that she can take her voice to newer levels, we have never heard before.....there is something so special about her ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only her voice, but her delivery is also her gift!
You said you weren’t ready for this. Get used to it. You’re never ready for Angelina. She makes everything her own-even songs you think shouldn’t be touched because they’re sacred-like Bohemian Rhapsody or Billie Jean or California Dreamin. Angelina always gives you her version. She doesn’t compete with the original because her versions are completely her own. Like this one today-you can’t compare it with the Elvis version: Angelina changes the tempo, the style, the interpretation of the lyrics.
You might as well jump in all the way. Watch her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. It may be the best live performance I’ve ever seen.
Angelina doesn't cover songs - she uncovers them, delivering their essence to heart. Wonderful!
Sir, the man at the piano is Mr. Rob Christie, chief of RR Studios LA, Grammy winner and today a friend of Angelina. She plays piano and guitar, that I saw myself, it´s said she can play violin and flute, that i´m not so sure. AJ speaks fluently Norwegian, English, Farsi/Persisan and Japanese, als it is said she speaks Swedish, (dad an relatives are Swedish). Most of her Stage clothes she taylors herself (designing and sewing), she sketches the story boards for her videos and arranges her songs since age of 7. Sir, I wish you safety, health and happiness. Elmar from Germany.
Love how Angelina pays tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and red guitar 🎸 and Pricilla Presley hair style!
Darrnell, welcome into Angelina Jordan magical world of music. I hope you will continue to react to Angelina because there is so much to discover and each time you will be amazed.
I love watching reactors experiencing Angelina for the first few times. I subscribed to your channel. Great reaction. Ty
She gets it, period. And she gives it back, exclamation point!
One of the greatest young artists of my time .. THE WHOLE PACKAGE
So, so beautiful ❤️ The Arrangement, the voice, the piano... everything is pure gold 👍 You wanna hear some belting... check out her live performance of its a mans world age 12 ❤️ Its one of her epic ones ❤️ You wanna check out her original songs... check out her original song, Million Miles, live this year from Norway. On the 10th of July in Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord ❤️ The song is about the passing of her grandpa 😢❤️
She was 7 yrs old and sang a song,in her second performance on Norway's got talent,and sang it Acapella.and her song million miles was written by her,and was dedicated to her grandfather who passed away.
very special vocalist .
I think your almost ready to hear " i m still holding out for you" lol crazy good, she is 10 . Enjoy, I am enjoying your reactions
Jazz Goddess with impeccable vocal artistry.
She also plays the violin and flute.
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song.
The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers.
The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister.
If you haven’t already reacted to her latest studio of Whitney Houston's version you should - here’s the link - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html
🙂
awesome reaction.....enjoy your journey.....
An overwhelming performance, yes? She just gets better and better!
Great reaction, check out millions miles she wrote about her grandfather that passed away a few years ago if you wanna check out her music. Or 7th heaven. Both are really good. 👍👍👍
Really loved the reaction. You are quite unabashed in your awe of her.....Kudos!
Great reaction bro, you don't know what you're in for, this girl is the greatest talent to come along since Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, facts
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising!
Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 165 chronological performances, including five originals.
m.th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Great reaction! Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, helped produced this. She used the same store (Melrose Gallery) she used for her My Funny Valentine and I Have Nothing videos. Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano once again. He is also the music director of Republic Records, the music company she is signed with. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis from his comeback concert. What a performance and homage to The King!
As far as original songs, you should check out her song 7th Heaven: th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html
Awesome reaction! I loved all your input about making music your own. She does that for sure! I have a feeling I'll see you again real soon!
😄😄😄 you have been hypnotised by Angelina Jordan 💙👍
You want acapella, try Angelina at 7 on Norway Got Talent singing I'm a fool to want you, then follow up the same song, in the studio, at 11.
Good to see you back, Darrnell. Dishes, the start of a marriage (Elvis and Priscilla Presley). Her 2 little cousins and then her sister represent Angelina's growth physically and artistically. I love your intelligent and heart-full reaction to Angelina Jordan's artistry. Her phrasing really serves the storytelling, too. Looking for your next AJ reaction, Darrnell. 💜
Love your reaction Darnell. She is legit. All that you see and hear comes from her. She is a mind blowing artist and yes, please do the Whitney Houston reaction you just saw. She does it justice.
th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. Cole McCarthy has produced several of Angelina's music videos, and Mery Zaman is Angelina's maternal grandmother. She was the person who recognised Angelina's uniqueness at a very early age and introduced her to all the old 1920s - 1950s classic jazz, blues and soul singers. She and Angelina are very close. . Indeed, Angelina has an exceptional, loving family who have supported her from the start and still do. They were determined from the outset that Angelina would enjoy as normal a childhood as possible, with the emphasis on her education, and turned down all offers from the major record companies to sign her to their label until she and they considered she was ready to do so. In August 2020 she signed with Republic Records with a contract which is said to allow her complete artistic freedom.
I am certain you know that the song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Love this versjon
Beautiful 😃😃🥰🥰
A thoroughly genuine and enjoyable reaction. I'm headed off to find some more of your'n.
Great reaction,wait till you hear her live performances from her summer concerts in Norway.
Absolutely amazing performance from Angelina, Cover of a Cover as the Original artist who wrote and performed this song didn’t achieve with his performance, then Elvis covered the song and it was a hit , the first two little girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins her managers children, the older girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette, production input from Angelina’s Grandma who is a talented artist, great reaction thanks 🙏
Awesome reaction, God Bless!
She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Angelina is the GOAT. Fortunately she has had every advantage and need all along the way to make sure she can give the world all she can while she grows. She and her family are happy and living well doing exactly what they decide is best for a kid still in school.
IMO Angelina is doing everything right & with 200+ YT & IG videos discovering Angelina is a marvelous experience for more people every day. Still, I'm a worry wart and occasionally worry about her safety while hoping nothing bad ever happens to her of her family.
Darnell...I loved your reaction, this one and your first look at Agelina yesterday. I'm sure the Angels have bombarded you with their Angelina opinions. The thing is, Angelina is kinda like the wizard of oz and by jumping forward to her latest stuff ...you kind of pulled the curtain back and found this wizard can sing the shit out stuff. Impactfull is a good adjective to describe Angelina. I believe the best way to appreciate this once and. Generation singer is to go back to the beginning...good luck and I know you will be "Impacted"
Wait till you hear her version of Mt. Everest! Bro! like OMG! There are at least 50 performances where she made them Angelina's now! and the vocal changes are insane!
She plays piano, guitar, flute, I've heard violin and who knows what else.
She will sing anything Acapella.
Angelina is fearless. Most Artists shy away from singing Acapella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely anything Acapella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes.
I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani.
She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. .♥👣👸🏻
Try these.
‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ when she was 13 on AGT. I would however draw your attention to 3 of what I consider her 1st Masterpieces.
‘Summertime’ by George Gershwin her winning performance on Norway’s Got Talent at 8 yrs old. th-cam.com/video/nsBfBuc9d9I/w-d-xo.html
‘What a Difference a Day Makes’ by Dinah Washington also at 8 yrs old. What a Difference a Day Makes’ th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html
‘Fly Me to the Moon’ by Frank Sinatra. th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html
All at 8 yrs old. Watch as she closes her eyes and enters that world that she totally inhabits when she sings. Some of them sound somehow surreal and ethereal in some places. Then you will realize that her voice and performances have always been beautiful and unmatched in Musicality.
“When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 ♥👣 Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing.
Fantastic.
AJ accomplishes the Impossible on a regular basis!
Yeh Angelina is a rare gem. Speaking of Acapella? Look up Angelina singing " I'm a fool to want you on Norway got talent when she was 7 yrs old. When I saw her perform that about 3 years ago I was hooked and realized her immeasurable musical gift, WOW! Check it out though you will appreciate it
Elvis Presley and his producer Felton Jarvis cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original arrangement completely and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version) and of course with Elvis Presley's voice. Pianist Rob Christie changed the musical arrangement and Angelina the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyric structure, starting with the bridge and giving the song a different meaning. Once again many people don't hear and understand the song until when Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Angelina crated the vocal arrangement and pianist, Rob Christie wrote the music arrangement.
Executive producer, Mery Zamani is Angelina’s grandma and Mery is Angelina’s greatest creative influence.
You definitely see her for what she is. Are you sure you have only listened to a couple?! Can't wait for more!
Darnell, you crack me up. You are so funny. I love how astute and witty you are. You pick up the smallest nuance in her voice. Great review. Check out her version of Mount Everest song in Norway this summer, you will be amazed!
Yes Angelina Jordan becoming quite a vocalist master artist of telling stories is 16 now on the way to becoming international superstar
Angelina plays the guitar, violin, flute, and piano and also paints and sings in 3 different languages.
Hi Darrnell, love your reactions to our barefooted princess. Waiting for more. I have subscribed as a diehard Angelina fan.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your very early in your Angelina journey, but luckily for you. It's all on TH-cam. Have fun. Next I suggest you go back to her NGT performances (4) and that gives us a n idea where she's coming from. 😎
Her recent rendition of Labrinth's Mt Everest from her live concert will give u chills too...
She has so many gems for u to check out..n I can't wait for your reaction.
Most powerful opening lines of a song ever & this
wonder is only 16!
Now that you've been blown away by Angelina performing at ages 9 and 16, you have about 200 more tracks from which to pick your next reaction (check both her "Official" & "Cover" channels). Her studio version of "I Have Nothing" (that you noticed at the end of this video) is absolutely worth a reaction. I look forward to seeing more Angelina here!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Angelina❤️
piano , guitar , flute , violin , sax and a few other stringed instruments. does her own arrangements ...can't wait until she starts producing...her voice is just starting to change and she is starting to show her upper range...
Great reaction man!
I have a suggestion for you: since you mentioned she could carry on this song a capella, no other instrument needed (which is true!), check her out at 7 yo singing a jazz classic 'I'm a Fool to Want You' by Billie Holiday. Prepare to be shocked and brain frozen again! Your reaction will even be better if you listen to the original right before. Cheers!!
"I'm A Fool To Want You"
Billie Holiday: th-cam.com/video/ouuRsRz8syM/w-d-xo.html
Angelina Jordan: th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Darrnell, thanks a billion for this seconde reaction to Angelina Jordan. You mentioned she could sing a cappella and actually she did! In the show "Norske Talenter" (The Norwegian Got Talent) she sung her seconde performance a cappella. But watch out which version you take: From "I'm a fool to want you" which in Norske Talenter AJ sings a capella there is a shorter version because there are 54 seconds cut out. And these 54 seconds are so good - even with speaking in - but the good thing of this version is, that you can't hear that there is something missing: AJ hit exactly the notes even after nearly a minute... Judges' Cut-Off with all of AJ's singing: "I’m a fool to want you": th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html Version, where at 1:13 is the cut where 54 sec. are missing and you don't hear it...: th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html ;-)
Have fun with all future reactions to Angelina Jordan - and I'm sure there will be a lot... 😎
Stay well and healthy and best wishes from Berlin
Andreas
Well said!
Good reaction. Darnell, you're a big hearted man, and AJ is drawing it out as she does with us all. Like the best Jazz and Blues singers of the past, she is immersed in those emotions as she pours them out vocally to the listener. Unlike some other artists, it's never about her but about the integrity of the song, always capturing the intent of the song. Yes, she deserves the credit with inclusion of her TH-cam site, th-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanOfficialfeatured
Thanks for covering this special Angel ! Please react to her video of This Is a Mans World , live by Boris
Another nice example of Angelina’s maturing vocal talent in her rendition of ‘My Funny Valentine’, released early this year. Enjoy: th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
I would recommend her original song "SHIELD" She wrote when she was 11 or so. Love from Norway 🇳🇴
I enjoyed your reaction it's awesome to share your Angelina journey with all of us.
Aside from her hair style, leather boots, black leather outfit & the subtle dust cloud from uncovering the piano...
There is another fun fact that I noticed...
Angelina's guitar was NOT a PROP as some reactors have commented in the past. She plays guitar as well as several other instruments. She could have used any guitar but she chose to pay homage to the king by using that particular model. Elvis used that guitar model in his '68 TV Comeback Special. A Hagstrom '67 Viking II Semi-Hollow Body, Transparent Wild Cherry, which recently sold at auction for $500,000 dollars.
Playing piano is Rob Christie, Grammy award winner, music producer as well as Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group, her new recording label.
I have nothing(studio version)👌❤️
I Angelina Jordan is 16 years old now and I’m really becoming a national star
Next should be her IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU. Age 10 leaked demo cover of little fuzz.
You get her .. awesome! As for Whitney, there is a tribute 3 yrs ago and 3 versions this summer .
Thanks for reacting to (16) Angie. Love all of Angie's nods to Elvis, also his wife Priscilla (hair) & daughter Lisa Marie & Angie growing up too. Please react to her version of
“I have nothing” by Whitney Houston th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html Official cover
Looks like David even gave her the rights to her version of the song. Dropped 7-23-22.
She’s 16. I love how Angie put in some of her jazzy back phrasing & R&B in it also.
Angie On AGT Champions at 13 singing her rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by
Queen. Even Queen was so blown away with it that they posted it & gave her the rights
to it. th-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/w-d-xo.html (The performance was so astounding that Queen
themselves posted a video of the teen singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on their twitter page with the caption:” Wow!!! What a rendition @angelinajordanA” And in an even more extraordinary turn of events, Queen then reportedly gave Angelina her blessing to record
and release her own version of the song by giving her the copyright to do so.)
This one below is an original from Angie.
“Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html Live 7-7-22
at Kongsberg. (Angie wrote this after her grandpa died in 2019 during the filming
of AGT-C)
You hv to react to her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT next. She always makes any song her own...Injecting more soul n emotion..interpreting the lyrics so well.
She makes her own arrangements too.
Languages 5, fluent in 3.
Instruments:
Vocals: thousand voices
Other instruments: Piano, Guitar, Flute, and Violin.
Songs left to react to: 170+ which = good times!

Another great reaction brother, try her own song million miles, studio performance at 14 years
Great reaction. You need to check out Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT
She's unbelievable
The pianist is Grammy award winning Rob Christie, the LA studio head of Republic Records.
She does not ‘officially’ go pro until she finishes high school summer 2023.
Some of her covers are on her official channel, some are on her cover channel. Beautiful voice, artistic choices and skill set isn't it? Amazing control. "I have nothing' is great. But her originals are 'shield' and 'what is life' at 12. "million miles' and '7th heaven' at 14 under her label Republic records. Should be on her upcoming album that would suggest. All her Adele covers and everything mentioned there are very solid suggestions IMO, but what isn't. My favorites are probably 'Million Miles' and 'My funny valentine', her more recent one. Although watching her sing for Jonathon Sugarfoot Moffett recently in short vids is even better, wonder if he was drumming in a few songs for her album. She went all out for him, 'Billy Jean' MJ, too short to react to, and 'I have nothing' Whitney Houston. Edit, her tiktok cover of 'crazy' by Patsy Cline is also maybe my favorite, and one of her longer tiktok's. Accidentally listened to it for like half hour the other day.
A PERFECT original song she wrote, "7th Heaven (studio version) gives you a taste of super SUH-WEEET Jazz HER way... Yup mr Friend, she's in a total different ATMOSPHERE and Talent for sure!! Great reaction (aside from the " F" bombs) but you were full bore blown away .. and you haven't even scratched the surface .. and that cover of I HAVE NOTHING studio version... All I can say is that final, long, velvety ribbon she ends with is iff the hook.. PEACE! 😀
she play piano, guitar, violin and flute.
---- Angelina sang I Have Nothing, Suspicious Minds, and other songs during her recent concert tour in Norway that ended with her July 10th Kurbadhagen concert in Sandefjord, Norway
---- Chris Walker did an excellent merged concert video of 5 fan videos into a single video of Angelina singing Suspicious Minds on July 10th at Kurbadhagen. Almost like a TV production: th-cam.com/video/AKDL8LLp8xc/w-d-xo.html
---- Please consider reacting to some of Mattias Axelsson’s excellent recording of July 10, 2022 Kurbadhagen concert of 18 performances that includes Angelina talking with audience. There are some extra goodies because Mattias was on left side of stage. Mattias used Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max in 4K UHD. In some videos, can see Egil Clausen in blue cap holding his children (he was guitarist for Angelina's early cover song videos). Also, can see Angelina's mother Sara Astar with sunglasses also holding Egil's children. Angelina's uncle Michael Astar is seen in videos doing stage security (Michael has short beard and is Angelina’s manager). Set list in order performed in concert:

---- Please consider reacting to some of Vidar Enerud’s excellent recording of July 10, 2022 Kurbadhagen concert of 18 performances that includes Angelina talking with audience. Vidar was at center of stage that gave best angle for Angelina's vocals and music of band. Vidar used 2.5x telephoto optical zoom lens on his iPhone 12 Pro Max and had audio recorder Zoom F1 with stereo microphone. One video glitch 0:23 to 0:56 of Killing Me Softly video (the audio is fine) and occasional brief blanking when switching to/from zoom in some videos. Link to Vidar’s channel and his videos for concert: th-cam.com/play/PLgVH9DUPH5QorN0ofzcbOYQSXXlDzyfA9.html
You need to fall down the Angelina rabbit hole it'll take you a minute to get back out it great reaction thank you so much
Yeah, this is what Angelina does..she drags an iconic song back to her cave and to a greater or lesser degree re-imagines it, makes it her own, and in effect, reintroduces it to the public. She has very few covers that were not blockbuster tunes originally. She is fearless and can sing pretty much anything. Great reaction!
Here are a few you shouldn't miss!
"Lovin You"(Etta James-I Just Want To Make Love To You) th-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/w-d-xo.html
Lovin You(same performance without instrumental intro): th-cam.com/video/qvmrvEdYSOY/w-d-xo.html
7th Heaven (her latest original) th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html
Million Miles (her original) th-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/w-d-xo.html
“Feeling Good”- Age 10 th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
"It's A Man's World" - Age 12 th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html
3 Extraordinary TitTok performances (consider reacting to them as a group as they are only ~2 min each):
House of The Rising Sun th-cam.com/video/wPMjaGzpIKo/w-d-xo.html
Love is a Game (Adele) th-cam.com/video/MzGEz9y_tAI/w-d-xo.html
Sign of the Times (Harry Stiles) th-cam.com/video/jHXlRRs_UMM/w-d-xo.html
A’ cappella?!!! You have NO idea how good she is a’ cappella. Here’s the FIRST time Angelina graced us with her a’ cappella voice (eight years old at Norway’s Got Talent).
React to this… it will blow your mind!
[it’s only 1:45 long 😉]
m.th-cam.com/video/eR_RdEDMRRM/w-d-xo.html
BTW… I absolutely LOVE your reaction! Keep ‘em coming! 😉
🖤👣
…YES, her original work is phenomenal, and YES, her Whitney Houston cover of “I Will Always Love You” will… blow your mind too!
That's Rob Christy on piano and she also plays 5 instruments and at least 4 languages English is her 3rd language and she recorded her first studio song in English and sang all her 4 songs on Norway got talent at 7years old and then I put a spell on you at 9 years old she has made over 130 covers in which most she personally remakes them her own including several she had to change the lyrics before her mom would let her record them so they were age appropriate,, her Amy Winehouse song she changed them in the car going to a photo shoot then to record when she was 10... she is unbelievable and so humble and caring for less fortunate children in the world look up her story on performing barefoot since she was 6 and still does at 16
Bro do her cover of back to black from Amy winehouse. She murdered it!!! She can take any song and make it her own
Give a listen to Angelina singing, I’d rather go blind, enjoy.
Mery is Angelina's Grandmother.
Waiting till you react to her loving you and diamonds are forever
I truly believe that AJ should have released this as a single as I think it would of been a hit! Such a shame that she didn't 😪
Nice reaction. Please, react to her cover of Billie Jean, by Michael Jackson. Amazing.
She's chill, not low energy. Check her original "Million Miles" th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html
Check out her Billie Jean cover....amazing.
Angelina also sang this song live at her recent Summer 2022 Norway Concerts - Here is an example - which includes her talking to the audience before singing the song: th-cam.com/video/bIBYDdWSw6Q/w-d-xo.html
...
And for to review her development you should AFTER reacting to her version on Norske Talenter (link in my other comment 😁) react to her studio recording footage at 12 yo: th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
If I say that this is fantastic it would be underestimate her talent, her musical and vocal abilities…
😎
Got to check out Angelina sing "I have Nothing" by Whitney recently th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html You'll be going down the Angelina rabbithole.
