I love how she holds notes at the ends of phrases right until the last millisecond before taking a breath. She delays the breath intake right until the absolute last millisecond before grabbing some air and sailing full tilt into the next phrase. Amazing.
1. Click the thumbs-up. 2. Start the video. Another great reaction from you, your observations are always interesting, - and spot on! Gotta love this little munchkin!
Alone on an island surrounded by thousands of people, she starts singing and goes into her magical land of infinite beauty and love, where she is alone with her music and shares it from her soul to ours through the use of her wizardly and beautifully crafted vocal chords! As Angelina has been growing up, her Grandma Mery made the brilliant decision to document her life with home videos, no matter the quality, and the world is so LUCKY to have them for eternity! They are such a pleasure to watch, from the littlest kid’s frustrations in not being able to hit a note, to hard work to get to that note, to singing in and winning a contest at 7-8 years old, to traveling the world her whole life, becoming a humanitarian at age 6 when she gave away her shoes and subsequently raising over 20 million dollars for charities by age 16, and well I could go on and on, but I won’t. Believe it or not, there are people who don’t like this CHILD, but you have to remember, these are probably also the people who don’t like PUPPIES! Hope you’re having a great Thanksgiving!
If I could only view and listen to one video of any performance by any artist for the rest of my life, it would be this performance of What a difference a day makes by Angelina Jordan. I would die one happy man!
Oh, man, great reaction and analysis! Yes, I just get very emotional (and often have tears) when I watch and listen to Angelina, especially when she is at this super cute age of 7 to 10. As hundreds, maybe thousands of others my age, would attest, I just feel like a virtual granddad toward her, and am so proud of her accomplishments and, most of all, her beautiful heart, character values, and love for others!
That tone at the end with the word “you……” drifting off is beautiful. And you are right, she is so cute -- any parent wants to grab her like their daughter and hug her.
This is one of the perfect examples that my/your favorite Angelina recording is the last one we heard, regardless of when she sang it and regardless of having heard them all before.
Pure talent, AJ is a prodigy , an outstanding performer.No doubt about it.A totally and complete professional artist. Since so young....God bless her.Thanks for the reaction
great analysis and great reaction...This one choked me up.....how the hell does she do that.......thank you so much...wonderful live performance.. just heaven to look at and listen to a natural... an incredible natural ...
BEAUTIFUL reaction my friend! Not too hard to see that you appreciated this performance🥰 Thanks for the shout-out to Carl as well, he is doing SUCH a great job of promoting her in channels like yours. Paid requests as well, just an AWESOME dedication♥♥♥ (Thanks, Carl🥰) Love from Norway, as always ♥♥♥
Angelina is basing her vocals on the Dinah Washington hit from the late 50’s, but I’m familiar enough with the original to see when Angelina decides to do something different. Even at 8, she was creatively adding something of her own style. As amazing as her vocals are, her timing is absolutely perfect. This live performance by an 8 year old in front of thousands is unbelievable.
This performance was my introduction to AJ 4 or 5 years ago. A random pop up on TH-cam. This tiny girl was going to sing my favorite non-rock song from the 50s. Gave it a go. I've been a fan ever since.
I listen to the 1959 recording of this song by Dinah Washington but can not decide who I like best, so I listen to both often. Angelina has written her own arrangements of the songs she sings. I have to assume at least she plays the piano as it is the base instrument in any band. She also is not about herself, she sings barefoot for a reason after meeting a girl without shoes!! That is really awesome character!!
All of Angelina's performances are 'top notch' but this one goes to the next level. Many 'angels' (including myself) regard this video as our favorite and I believe you can understand why. It is so easy to get lost in the song and become mesmerized by her. The poise and confidence she exhibits is off the charts and, overall, this video is a classic never to be forgotten. I enjoy your reactions very much. You breakdown what is going on for us and, at the same time, you are totally enjoying Angelina. What was fun watching and listening to you reacting to this classic was after listening to only ONE NOTE you had to pause to regain your composure. And, at the end, you forgot what you wanted to say. 🙂 That's what she does. Yes, she was 8 years old when she sang this but we all know there's 75-80 years of music inside of her just waiting to come out and she is singlehandedly responsible for bringing the beautiful music of yesteryear to today's generation. In the years to come we will hear plenty of Angelina's original recordings and what a treat that will be. BUT, every Concert she put's together there should be no doubt she will mix in some of the standards from many years ago that she brought back to life for all of us to enjoy.
@@geoffreynorth9046 Thank you Geoffrey! I enjoyed every second of the video. That's Grandma's channel, right? Even though it was a photo shoot I loved to see Angelina and mon relaxing on the blanket. Sara has been so wonderful and the love in Angelina's family is something to be admired by all of us.
In one of her early interviews, Angelina tells us that when she sings, she goes into another world which she finds to be so beautiful. In this particular song, she sways her body, closes her eyes and almost looks like she is going to sleep. Forget about her being nervous in front of so big a crowd, away from the back-up singers and band, all alone on that small stage, she sways back and forth and transports herself into this magical world yet delivers such a professional performance. A true innocent with such a gift to us all!!!
I've seen this performance a hundred times and as usual you point out several things in the genius of Angelina's performance that all the other reactors passed over! Keep up the excellent work!
I am so glad you got to this. My absolute favorite at this age and will always be at the top of my list. I gave a $5 dollar donation and asked for it but then tried to edit the request and it got deleted. So glad you got to it anyway. You may not see this since I got to it late but I hope you do. You may not remember but I was the one that insisted you start this journey and I was so happy you did. Below is the comment I use when I request it. My favorite song of all time. ♥👣 This is to me the most beautiful rendition of this song and to me THE most beautiful performance I have ever witnessed. “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 ♥👣 Never have I seen Angelina go so deeply into this world as she does here. She is just immediately in it and I from the first note and I am there with her! If you could only listen to one Artist for the rest of your life who would it be? One song for the rest of your life, what would it be? That would be Angelina for me. No Doubt about it! ♥👣 If you only had one song. This would be it! ♥👣 Welcome to the wonderful world of the Barefoot Princess, soon to be Queen, of Angelina. My Favorite at this age. Absolutely beautiful. It sounds so much like the way Dinah Washington sang it that it's not easy to tell them apart. This Mashup with Dinah will convince you of this th-cam.com/video/BM87RyQQWcQ/w-d-xo.html Absolutely astounding. Here's another good one at the same festivale about a year or 2 after this one. 'It's Now or Never' th-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/w-d-xo.html Would love to have you react to it.
Thank you for the continued support my friend 🙏 lemme grab these links and make sure I do them for you! And I agree with everything about this performance. It was just magical. Something about how passionate and in control she was at such an impressionable age. There must be a lot of love poured in to this young lady. And I think about the question about what artist I could listen to forever all the time and I’m not ready to commit to an answer just yet hahaha. But this and many other AJ performances are definitely solidified for me. Thanks again for the support my friend, looking forward to these links. The quotes as well I want to mention because they really make it real for me
Angelina is so cut, her wild hair with flowers, her voice amazing, so professianal, yeah she is a real goddess, thats teargas of sure 👑♥️🌹💫 great reaction bro, thank you 😊
@@103mrg I went back and listened again. It is another impressive and long sustained finish. I guess I hadn't noticed the one in What a difference a day makes because it goes so soft it is almost inaudible and then it peeks up again. If you watch close, she sustains it the whole time but much of it is barely a whisper tone. I never stop being amazed by her musical instincts.
Bel, I find myself so enthralled in everything about this performance that I ask myself, “What was I doing at eight years old?” As you eluded to, this is a professional performance and it’s coming from an eight year old child.
For those of you who don't believe in angels I offer up "Angel"lina Jordon as proof. I think the backing singers where amazing and held back because they knew it was about framing Angelina's vocals. I have watched this video numerous times and I noticed the opening riff by the backup singers but then was immediately focused on Angelina's vocals but this time I was keeping my ear open to the backing vocals. Not only are they really well done but more importantly Angelina is synching up with them really well. Any small bobble on the part of either and things could go off the rails quickly. And another thing that I'm struck by every time I listen to this performance is how free it is of any tension. I like to say her singing is so soft it's like a child petting a kitten. It would be so easy for a young performer to rush a little or sound tight on a song like this that has a really slow tempo. Ray Charles used to say that most musicians he played with could do up tempo stuff but would get lost when he did very slow tempo numbers. They would "loose" the beat. This is just one amazing performance. It's like we're listening to an 8 year old Dinah Washington.
BEL, you are correct, it was about a month after winning AGT 2014. Norwegians told me, yes there were more than I few, that Angelina Jordan Astar was declared THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY. That is a bit like being ennobled in England. In Norway and throughout Scandinavia it was, and still is, a great honor to work with her. I am still impressed of how humble she still is. You my friend, stay safe, healthy and happy. Elmar from Germany.
Same Angelina at the same outdoor venue, same flowers in her hair, bigger backup choir and a slight bit older. AMAZING. Just look at how much fun she is having and how easy it seems for her. th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
I recently mentioned to a fellow fan that if I was forced - at gunpoint ! - to pick just one Angelina song as my very, very favourite performance it would be this... I have seen it so many times yet every single time, when her voice comes in I find it electrifying... It is so wonderful in so many ways - and I am still learning about nuances of her skill from reactions such as yours.... Love your reactions !
---- As 8-year old, Angelina sung the Dinah Washington classic What A Difference A Day Makes on TV 2 singalong show Allsang På Grensen held outdoors at Fredriksten Fortress in Halden, Norway on Thursday June 3, 2014 ---- Besides Angelina's voice, what makes this song so impressive is her timing and presentation of the song belie her age...one just cannot believe someone so young could sing like this ---- This video is quite famous because of false postings that occurred on Facebook that misstated that Angelina was Amy Winehouse at 10-years old ---- Even with posting corrections and fact-checking site Snopes debunking it, the incorrectly captioned video got over 30 million Facebook views and gave a tremendous search boost to Angelina to help establish her name to people outside of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, the primary areas that TV 2 was broadcast ---- Also when 8-years old, Angelina was on the Senkveld Show (a 750,000 viewer Friday "Late Night Show" broadcast on TV 2) where she sung Fly Me To The Moon after being interviewed...this video of the performance has subtitles and we find out that when Angelina went back to school after her 2014 Norway's Got Talent first performance (that itself had gotten over 5 million TH-cam views), she ran out of pens and got tired signing autographs for her classmates: th-cam.com/video/3Ph-soo7jls/w-d-xo.html ---- The last big performance by an 8-year old Angelina was when she flew to the US and sung Fly Me To The Moon on the show The View with its 3+ million viewers...before singing Angelina is interviewed by Rosie O'Donnell and mentions that she started singing jazz when 18 months old: th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html
@@mrstlu4838 Snopes said performance was on June 3, 2014 plus several other sources said the same thing. The video was first posted by TV 2 on July 3, 2014 per the respected AFP Factcheck website which also had the first show for Allsang På Grensen in 2014 as Thursday, June 3rd
What about her singing in front of all those people at that age and being so calm, cool and collected? Someone said they overheard one of the backup singers say, “I can’t believe I’m backing up an eight year old!”
diane who won't recant or apologize for accusing me of calling her a liar: In an interview from several years ago, Angelina was asked if it was scary performing in front of so many people. She laughed (as if saying: "Are you kidding?") She answered: "No, I think it's nothing fun! I love singing!"
Angelina performed many times on this concert including this year when she sang ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘I have Nothing’. One you will surely get a kick out of as well is ‘Something’s Got A Hold On Me Now’ by Etta James: th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html Yeah she was already so good so young! She wore similar in ear plugs during AGT as well. I assumed they were monitors making her hear own singing but I could be wrong. She is so at ease standing there and clearly enjoying the heck out of it!
Love your AJ reactions, so good to be an Angels supporter! On a side note, every time I hear the intro for your videos, I get more and more hyped for that song youre singing! Love it!
Angelina is a very intentional singer. If you hear her sing it she means it to be there. She did the same thing on the last note of, 'I Put A Spell On You'. I think she played that 'festival every year. It's the same one she came to this year to kind have her 'coming out ' celebration.
This was Angelinas first TV performance after Norways Got Talent. This is a annual sing along event by the border to Sweden (at Halden fortress). It is a TV show run by the same TV channel that holding Norways got talent. The show is not made for Angelina. She was only one of several artists, but they added som extra resoursers to her performance to make it special - and historic.
Me again, Allsang Pa Grensen was a weekly show during summer by national TV, where all the sacandinavian stars could sing their hit, but at the most 2 songs. Sadly Covid and a few other reasons finally led the TV bosses to decide to cancel the show. Angelina was one of the last stars singing there. It was a family outing where you were encouraged to sing along.
Captivating, endearing.. one can't help but love this gifted Angel.. she covers Dinah Washington so very perfectly.. with eyes closed and gently swaying she's just enjoying the song SO MUCH!! Not to mention the audience😉 It's amazing that she knows all the lyrics by memory, we've heard her sing SO many songs, genres, but Jazz is obviously her 1st love...and I agree she held that last note as long as possible..she used every bit of air in her little lungs..She did the EXACT same thing in her NGT when she sang Gloomy Sunday!! She'll be 17 yrs old come January 23... How time flies when we listen to her, nice reaction... Right from the 1st line😂😉🎤🎶🎵🎹. PEACE!
@@flyingspaghetti369 It did seem long, but it was only about 9 seconds. I Put a Spell was not the last note, it was actually the last phrase because it was one breath---13 seconds.
She does such a good job and everything is professional she is a professional all the way her voice is clean beautiful emotional she’s actually a storyteller to Sage a master artist
I have heard other vocal coaches say that they're not even sure she is singing. and maybe just channeling the music from another era. Makes you wonder, What a talent.!!
This was the first song I ever listened to by Angelina Jordan. I knew the Dinah Washington version, and needless to say I was floored by Angelina’s. I have come back to this one perhaps more than any other, although Feeling Good is a close second. But who’s counting. We’re talking hundreds of views. She is my guardian angel.
This event was called "Allsang På Grensen" (English: "Sing Along at the Border") and was organized by the Norwegian television TV2 (in 2022 for the last time) as a yearly summer event at this beautiful site close to the border with Sweden. Angelina participated in this event multiple times with the following songs: 1. What a Difference a Day Makes (at age 8, June of 2014 -> th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html) 2. Feeling Good (at age 10, June 2016 -> th-cam.com/video/7HaMvkflBAo/w-d-xo.html) 3. Something's Got A Hold On Me (at age 11, July 2017 -> th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html) 4. It's Now Or Never (at age 11, July 2017 -> th-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/w-d-xo.html) 5. Bohemian Rhapsody (at age 16, June 2022 -> th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html) 6. I Have Nothing (at age 16, June 2022 -> th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html)
This performance reinforced the belief of old jazz singers being reincarnated in this girl At 7 she sounded exactly like Billie Holiday in her performance of Gloomy Sunday, and then at 8 she sounds right here so much like Dinah Washington it's astounding. After this song I labeled her a 'vocal chameleon', able to emulate the vocals of other singers much in a similar way that the chameleon lizard can change its outer colors to match its surroundings instantaneously.
This was performed at the annual music festival in Norway. Her most recent live performances were at this same festival. She was fresh from winning NGT and went on to perform in many venues around the world. Her performance on The View in the US was likely within a month or two of this one.
You know I already viewed this on Patreon Jess, a few times btw, but so happy to see you upload this wonderful, magical performance for all of the Angels to see your great reaction and comments as always. Have to say, not bad on views and "likes" in less than a day....you know you are doing it right and have a lot of Angel fans flocking to your channel to enjoy your wonderful reactions with our girl. Just keep them coming and we will keep coming as well. Have to start loading you up with more on Patreon....there are oh oh so many to go yet. 😄😄. Cheers and stay well, ....get out the snow shoes too, you know what I mean.
Hahaha I got the quad out instead of snow shoes these days 😂 and y’all make it an intimidating experience but it’s like iron sharpening iron! Everyone’s gotta stay on their toes lol
This is a regular summer concert in Norway called Allsang pa Grensen, which means something like, Singalong at the Border. What a stunning addition to the regular fare this must have been for the audience! Thank you for focusing on the "Lord" articulation. I always noticed it without noticing it (if you see what I mean), but now I see how great that is. In fact, every syllable she sings is worth paying attention to. It's as if she has a plan for each one (and I expect she has!)
Ho riguardato questo video e torno ad emozionarmi per Angelina.Come fa a sapere i trucchi del mestiere a quell' età è un dolcissimo mistero.Angelina è un dono,ma lei ci ha messo del suo.Hai perfettamente ragione: qui c'è molta intelligenza di Angelina che fa rabbrividire data l' età.Gtazie per l' esaustiva reazione.
I have about 10 accounts following me on TikTok named Angelina Jordan. None of them the official account with the blue checkmark after the name. One had a blue checkmark in the photo. Each time I go like ‘OEH!’ only to go ‘ah’ after checking it :-D
@@dojoswitzer The verified account has the blue checkmark at the name The initial alert you get is "Angelina Jordan started following you" which gives me that initial 'Oeh!' feeling :-D
I did this one yesterday very good she such a professional see is so sweet I can’t look at that you’re in a real big that’s a big song and I got a big back up for
What amazes me is you look at the crowd there’s every age from super young you’re super old and everything in between for someone this young to capture such a large poly it’s just unreal it’s her voice it’s such a young age she’s a storyteller a master artist that’s why she’s number one on my top 10 I’ll start watching her when she was 14 months old That she’s never stopped to 16 now and I don’t see you’re quitting at all of the music flow through remain as one Judge set of Norway you are music that I believe
i always have a little smile, can you imagine, the agent for backing singers, got great job this weekend, your singing backing vocals for a 8 year old. lol,
A few remarks, the first one is that the interpretation that Angelina Jordan gives here of this song is simply magnificent ; then that one should not forget that english is not her mother tongue as one can see at the beginning of this video ; finally that, as several commentators pointed out, there is something incredible to hear her speak with her voice of a little girl of eight years old, then, as if transformed into another person, as soon as she starts to sing.
@@EA-yd9vw as of the present time I can think of 8 languages she has either spoken or sung in over the years. Norwegian, English,Swedish, Japanese, Farsi, German, French and now Spanish. She is quite remarkable!
I'm not sure if anyone's pointed this out, but there's a neat little behind-the-scenes video on her Fanclub Mosarz channel documenting her day leading up to this performance (including footage of the complete performance shot from the audience - the video starts out with a generic, totally unrelated music track, but the original audio kicks in once she's onstage). th-cam.com/video/743JyFHSdAs/w-d-xo.html You can also look for the video called "Angelina Jordan interview subtitled - What a Difference a Day Makes" on the Song and Heart channel if you want to see the full pre-song interview (only the last few seconds of which was seen in this video) with English subtitles.
I really like you as a reactor to a Angelina Jordan your doing such a great job
And the differance is AJ !!!
That voice makes you forget all your duties for a sec.
I love how she holds notes at the ends of phrases right until the last millisecond before taking a breath. She delays the breath intake right until the absolute last millisecond before grabbing some air and sailing full tilt into the next phrase. Amazing.
She's the cutest, one of my favorites from her early years.
Awesome reaction to an Epic Performance, God Bless!
Angelina, what a difference a day makes, and that difference is YOU, our dear angel!
1. Click the thumbs-up. 2. Start the video. Another great reaction from you, your observations are always interesting, - and spot on! Gotta love this little munchkin!
I appreciate you 🙏🙏 and for real lol it’s not fair how adorable she is!
Alone on an island surrounded by thousands of people, she starts singing and goes into her magical land of infinite beauty and love, where she is alone with her music and shares it from her soul to ours through the use of her wizardly and beautifully crafted vocal chords!

Great to watch your reactions because you catch everything magnificent about her. Including her adorability.

Absolutely beautiful! ❤️ What a blessing ❤️
It's a pleasure to watch your reactions. Angelina is magical at any age ❣️
She is just magic. Casts a spell on me every time.
If I could only view and listen to one video of any performance by any artist for the rest of my life, it would be this performance of What a difference a day makes by Angelina Jordan. I would die one happy man!
AJ Classic. Can we really say this 17 year old girl has classic songs ? She boggles my mind and heart. Mostly my heart.
I am in France, in front of my breakfast hearing Angelina, watching at her smile and your smile, what else to well begin this saturday ! Thank you 👍♥️
There really is nothing like watching one of Angelina's performances to make you smile and feel instantaneously better. She is magical.
What a difference Angelina makes!
An entire book could be written to analyze the minute detail Angelina puts into each word and phrase.
This is the performance that David Foster was referencing when he called AJ the most talented child singer he had ever heard.
Stunning❤
This one is special. 😅. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh, man, great reaction and analysis! Yes, I just get very emotional (and often have tears) when I watch and listen to Angelina, especially when she is at this super cute age of 7 to 10.

I felt in love with Angelina as soon as I watch this video!!! So adorable and her voice is out of this world!!
This is one of the perfect examples that my/your favorite Angelina recording is the last one we heard, regardless of when she sang it and regardless of having heard them all before.
She is a precious bundle of joy and talent. Fell in love with her the first time I saw her on Norway got talent.🌺❤

Great analysis! ❤ Love you AJ❤
Thanks!
I am so glad you got to this. My absolute favorite at this age and will always be at the top of my list. I gave a $5 dollar donation and asked for it but then tried to edit the request and it got deleted.
So glad you got to it anyway. You may not see this since I got to it late but I hope you do. You may not remember but I was the one that insisted you start this journey and I was so happy you did. Below is the comment I use when I request it.
My favorite song of all time. ♥👣
This is to me the most beautiful rendition of this song and to me THE most beautiful performance I have ever witnessed.
“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 ♥👣
Never have I seen Angelina go so deeply into this world as she does here. She is just immediately in it and I from the first note and I am there with her!
If you could only listen to one Artist for the rest of your life who would it be? One song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
That would be Angelina for me. No Doubt about it! ♥👣
If you only had one song. This would be it! ♥👣
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Barefoot Princess, soon to be Queen, of Angelina. My Favorite at this age. Absolutely beautiful. It sounds so much like the way Dinah Washington sang it that it's not easy to tell them apart. This Mashup with Dinah will convince you of this th-cam.com/video/BM87RyQQWcQ/w-d-xo.html Absolutely astounding.
Here's another good one at the same festivale about a year or 2 after this one.
'It's Now or Never' th-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/w-d-xo.html Would love to have you react to it.
Thank you for the continued support my friend 🙏 lemme grab these links and make sure I do them for you!
And I agree with everything about this performance. It was just magical. Something about how passionate and in control she was at such an impressionable age. There must be a lot of love poured in to this young lady.
And I think about the question about what artist I could listen to forever all the time and I’m not ready to commit to an answer just yet hahaha. But this and many other AJ performances are definitely solidified for me.
Thanks again for the support my friend, looking forward to these links. The quotes as well I want to mention because they really make it real for me
@@Beldvlmnt Thank you. I'm just glad you decided to take this journey and I've loved taking it with you. ♥👣👣
Angelina is so cut, her wild hair with flowers, her voice amazing, so professianal, yeah she is a real goddess, thats teargas of sure 👑♥️🌹💫 great reaction bro, thank you 😊
My favorite video of hers
I've seen this dozens of times and never noticed how long she held that last note until you mentioned it. Crazy breath control for a little kid
dharmabum Did you catch the last note of Gloomy Sunday?
@@103mrg I went back and listened again. It is another impressive and long sustained finish. I guess I hadn't noticed the one in What a difference a day makes because it goes so soft it is almost inaudible and then it peeks up again. If you watch close, she sustains it the whole time but much of it is barely a whisper tone. I never stop being amazed by her musical instincts.
Bel, I find myself so enthralled in everything about this performance that I ask myself, “What was I doing at eight years old?” As you eluded to, this is a professional performance and it’s coming from an eight year old child.
For those of you who don't believe in angels I offer up "Angel"lina Jordon as proof. I think the backing singers where amazing and held back because they knew it was about framing Angelina's vocals. I have watched this video numerous times and I noticed the opening riff by the backup singers but then was immediately focused on Angelina's vocals but this time I was keeping my ear open to the backing vocals. Not only are they really well done but more importantly Angelina is synching up with them really well. Any small bobble on the part of either and things could go off the rails quickly. And another thing that I'm struck by every time I listen to this performance is how free it is of any tension. I like to say her singing is so soft it's like a child petting a kitten. It would be so easy for a young performer to rush a little or sound tight on a song like this that has a really slow tempo. Ray Charles used to say that most musicians he played with could do up tempo stuff but would get lost when he did very slow tempo numbers. They would "loose" the beat. This is just one amazing performance. It's like we're listening to an 8 year old Dinah Washington.
BEL, you are correct, it was about a month after winning AGT 2014. Norwegians told me, yes there were more than I few, that Angelina Jordan Astar was declared THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY. That is a bit like being ennobled in England.
In Norway and throughout Scandinavia it was, and still is, a great honor to work with her. I am still impressed of how humble she still is.
You my friend, stay safe, healthy and happy. Elmar from Germany.
Same Angelina at the same outdoor venue, same flowers in her hair, bigger backup choir and a slight bit older. AMAZING. Just look at how much fun she is having and how easy it seems for her. th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
This girl is just a total cuteness overload. 😍😍🥰🦶🦶😇
I recently mentioned to a fellow fan that if I was forced - at gunpoint ! - to pick just one Angelina song as my very, very favourite performance it would be this... I have seen it so many times yet every single time, when her voice comes in I find it electrifying... It is so wonderful in so many ways - and I am still learning about nuances of her skill from reactions such as yours.... Love your reactions !
My response to that question is "The song I'm listening to at the moment".
---- As 8-year old, Angelina sung the Dinah Washington classic What A Difference A Day Makes on TV 2 singalong show Allsang På Grensen held outdoors at Fredriksten Fortress in Halden, Norway on Thursday June 3, 2014
---- Besides Angelina's voice, what makes this song so impressive is her timing and presentation of the song belie her age...one just cannot believe someone so young could sing like this
---- This video is quite famous because of false postings that occurred on Facebook that misstated that Angelina was Amy Winehouse at 10-years old
---- Even with posting corrections and fact-checking site Snopes debunking it, the incorrectly captioned video got over 30 million Facebook views and gave a tremendous search boost to Angelina to help establish her name to people outside of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, the primary areas that TV 2 was broadcast
---- Also when 8-years old, Angelina was on the Senkveld Show (a 750,000 viewer Friday "Late Night Show" broadcast on TV 2) where she sung Fly Me To The Moon after being interviewed...this video of the performance has subtitles and we find out that when Angelina went back to school after her 2014 Norway's Got Talent first performance (that itself had gotten over 5 million TH-cam views), she ran out of pens and got tired signing autographs for her classmates: th-cam.com/video/3Ph-soo7jls/w-d-xo.html
---- The last big performance by an 8-year old Angelina was when she flew to the US and sung Fly Me To The Moon on the show The View with its 3+ million viewers...before singing Angelina is interviewed by Rosie O'Donnell and mentions that she started singing jazz when 18 months old: th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html
Just a very small correction to your dates, this performance was on July 3rd 2014, the first date of that year’s season. 🙂❤👣🎶
@@mrstlu4838 Snopes said performance was on June 3, 2014 plus several other sources said the same thing. The video was first posted by TV 2 on July 3, 2014 per the respected AFP Factcheck website which also had the first show for Allsang På Grensen in 2014 as Thursday, June 3rd
What about her singing in front of all those people at that age and being so calm, cool and collected? Someone said they overheard one of the backup singers say, “I can’t believe I’m backing up an eight year old!”
diane who won't recant or apologize for accusing me of calling her a liar: In an interview from several years ago, Angelina was asked if it was scary performing in front of so many people. She laughed (as if saying: "Are you kidding?") She answered: "No, I think it's nothing fun! I love singing!"
A born prodigy making musical history with every song she sings.
her voice melt down my heart❤
Angelina performed many times on this concert including this year when she sang ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘I have Nothing’. One you will surely get a kick out of as well is ‘Something’s Got A Hold On Me Now’ by Etta James: th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
Yeah she was already so good so young! She wore similar in ear plugs during AGT as well. I assumed they were monitors making her hear own singing but I could be wrong. She is so at ease standing there and clearly enjoying the heck out of it!
Love your AJ reactions, so good to be an Angels supporter! On a side note, every time I hear the intro for your videos, I get more and more hyped for that song youre singing! Love it!
Angelina is a very intentional singer. If you hear her sing it she means it to be there. She did the same thing on the last note of, 'I Put A Spell On You'. I think she played that 'festival every year. It's the same one she came to this year to kind have her 'coming out ' celebration.
This was Angelinas first TV performance after Norways Got Talent. This is a annual sing along event by the border to Sweden (at Halden fortress). It is a TV show run by the same TV channel that holding Norways got talent. The show is not made for Angelina. She was only one of several artists, but they added som extra resoursers to her performance to make it special - and historic.
Mmmmh .. she performed on national TV’s Midsummer Night programme, she sang Summertime 😇
Me again, Allsang Pa Grensen was a weekly show during summer by national TV, where all the sacandinavian stars could sing their hit, but at the most 2 songs. Sadly Covid and a few other reasons finally led the TV bosses to decide to cancel the show. Angelina was one of the last stars singing there. It was a family outing where you were encouraged to sing along.
Captivating, endearing.. one can't help but love this gifted Angel.. she covers Dinah Washington so very perfectly.. with eyes closed and gently swaying she's just enjoying the song SO MUCH!! Not to mention the audience😉 It's amazing that she knows all the lyrics by memory, we've heard her sing SO many songs, genres, but Jazz is obviously her 1st love...and I agree she held that last note as long as possible..she used every bit of air in her little lungs..She did the EXACT same thing in her NGT when she sang Gloomy Sunday!! She'll be 17 yrs old come January 23... How time flies when we listen to her, nice reaction... Right from the 1st line😂😉🎤🎶🎵🎹. PEACE!
arlene She also held that note at the end of I Put a Spell and her recent I Have Nothing in studio.
I thought the longest is 'The Show Must Go On'.
@@flyingspaghetti369 It did seem long, but it was only about 9 seconds. I Put a Spell was not the last note, it was actually the last phrase because it was one breath---13 seconds.
@@103mrg how long is 'I'd Rather Go Blind'? 16 second?
@@flyingspaghetti369 You're right about that. But it was not at the song's end, which is the discussion here.
She does such a good job and everything is professional she is a professional all the way her voice is clean beautiful emotional she’s actually a storyteller to Sage a master artist
What took you so long to react to this gem?
This is a great question
I have heard other vocal coaches say that they're not even sure she is singing. and maybe just channeling the music from another era. Makes you wonder, What a talent.!!
Oslo Norway AJ so good
Awesome reaction this is one of her best vocal performances love it wild bill
Best version of this song including the original i have ever heard and she was 8 years old awesome reaction thank you wild bill
My heart feels as though it is being played like.... perhaps a harp, by a master musician.
This was the first song I ever listened to by Angelina Jordan. I knew the Dinah Washington version, and needless to say I was floored by Angelina’s. I have come back to this one perhaps more than any other, although Feeling Good is a close second. But who’s counting. We’re talking hundreds of views. She is my guardian angel.
What most fail to mention or, perhaps, notice is that this is one of I Ihink 2 performances where Angelina bows intead of curtsies at the end.
The other one being after "Fly me to the Moon" on "The View"..
@@kristena9285 👍
This event was called "Allsang På Grensen" (English: "Sing Along at the Border") and was organized by the Norwegian television TV2 (in 2022 for the last time) as a yearly summer event at this beautiful site close to the border with Sweden. Angelina participated in this event multiple times with the following songs:
1. What a Difference a Day Makes (at age 8, June of 2014 -> th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html)
2. Feeling Good (at age 10, June 2016 -> th-cam.com/video/7HaMvkflBAo/w-d-xo.html)
3. Something's Got A Hold On Me (at age 11, July 2017 -> th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html)
4. It's Now Or Never (at age 11, July 2017 -> th-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/w-d-xo.html)
5. Bohemian Rhapsody (at age 16, June 2022 -> th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html)
6. I Have Nothing (at age 16, June 2022 -> th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html)
This performance reinforced the belief of old jazz singers being reincarnated in this
girl At 7 she sounded exactly like Billie Holiday in her performance of Gloomy Sunday,
and then at 8 she sounds right here so much like Dinah Washington it's astounding.
After this song I labeled her a 'vocal chameleon', able to emulate the vocals of other
singers much in a similar way that the chameleon lizard can change its outer colors to
match its surroundings instantaneously.
This was performed at the annual music festival in Norway. Her most recent live performances were at this same festival.
She was fresh from winning NGT and went on to perform in many venues around the world. Her performance on The View in the US was likely within a month or two of this one.
Love your comments!
❤
And the timing!
I have that video now What a different a day makes
You know I already viewed this on Patreon Jess, a few times btw, but so happy to see you upload this wonderful, magical performance for all of the Angels to see your great reaction and comments as always. Have to say, not bad on views and "likes" in less than a day....you know you are doing it right and have a lot of Angel fans flocking to your channel to enjoy your wonderful reactions with our girl. Just keep them coming and we will keep coming as well. Have to start loading you up with more on Patreon....there are oh oh so many to go yet. 😄😄. Cheers and stay well, ....get out the snow shoes too, you know what I mean.
Hahaha I got the quad out instead of snow shoes these days 😂 and y’all make it an intimidating experience but it’s like iron sharpening iron! Everyone’s gotta stay on their toes lol
👍👍👍🇸🇪
Angelina Jordan is on loan from Heaven!
This is a regular summer concert in Norway called Allsang pa Grensen, which means something like, Singalong at the Border. What a stunning addition to the regular fare this must have been for the audience! Thank you for focusing on the "Lord" articulation. I always noticed it without noticing it (if you see what I mean), but now I see how great that is. In fact, every syllable she sings is worth paying attention to. It's as if she has a plan for each one (and I expect she has!)
Video on my files now she is adorable
Sweden /Norway have Spring sing-a-long. flowers are part of that.
👍👍👍
How great is an 8year old with adult back up singers
Ho riguardato questo video e torno ad emozionarmi per Angelina.Come fa a sapere i trucchi del mestiere a quell' età è un dolcissimo mistero.Angelina è un dono,ma lei ci ha messo del suo.Hai perfettamente ragione: qui c'è molta intelligenza di Angelina che fa rabbrividire data l' età.Gtazie per l' esaustiva reazione.
I wish had money to send you. Really funny, on my tiktok account, supposedly Angelina started following my account.
Instagram me a pic and a link!
I have about 10 accounts following me on TikTok named Angelina Jordan. None of them the official account with the blue checkmark after the name. One had a blue checkmark in the photo. Each time I go like ‘OEH!’ only to go ‘ah’ after checking it :-D
Angelina’s TT account is verified. I have three impersonators/imposters following me on TT.
@@pietersbart I saw one with the check mark in the photo. At least it was a creative attempt to deceive people.
@@dojoswitzer The verified account has the blue checkmark at the name The initial alert you get is "Angelina Jordan started following you" which gives me that initial 'Oeh!' feeling :-D
Great reaction
I did this one yesterday very good she such a professional see is so sweet I can’t look at that you’re in a real big that’s a big song and I got a big back up for
Her fan club is on my to TH-cam
Your voice mic was great today.!
What amazes me is you look at the crowd there’s every age from super young you’re super old and everything in between for someone this young to capture such a large poly it’s just unreal it’s her voice it’s such a young age she’s a storyteller a master artist that’s why she’s number one on my top 10 I’ll start watching her when she was 14 months old That she’s never stopped to 16 now and I don’t see you’re quitting at all of the music flow through remain as one Judge set of Norway you are music that I believe
i always have a little smile, can you imagine, the agent for backing singers, got great job this weekend, your singing backing vocals for a 8 year old. lol,
A few remarks, the first one is that the interpretation that Angelina Jordan gives here of this song is simply magnificent ; then that one should not forget that english is not her mother tongue as one can see at the beginning of this video ; finally that, as several commentators pointed out, there is something incredible to hear her speak with her voice of a little girl of eight years old, then, as if transformed into another person, as soon as she starts to sing.
If you’ve seen the videos of her speaking English at 3, you’d think it was her native language!
@@kerrythomas6220 Indeed, and this is precisely what is remarkable.
@@EA-yd9vw as of the present time I can think of 8 languages she has either spoken or sung in over the years. Norwegian, English,Swedish, Japanese, Farsi, German, French and now Spanish. She is quite remarkable!
I'm not sure if anyone's pointed this out, but there's a neat little behind-the-scenes video on her Fanclub Mosarz channel documenting her day leading up to this performance (including footage of the complete performance shot from the audience - the video starts out with a generic, totally unrelated music track, but the original audio kicks in once she's onstage). th-cam.com/video/743JyFHSdAs/w-d-xo.html You can also look for the video called "Angelina Jordan interview subtitled - What a Difference a Day Makes" on the Song and Heart channel if you want to see the full pre-song interview (only the last few seconds of which was seen in this video) with English subtitles.
