Angelina decides for herself. When it comes to the actual training and choice of songs etc., it has always been Angelina who made all the choices and decisions. Parents and others, on the other hand, have asked her to take it a little easier sometimes. Angelina is very special and her own driving force. Ever since she was 3-4 years old! Of course, all relatives and frends, have helped and protected her. Angelina and her closest, decided early on that she would have as normal a childhood as possible. Even when she won NGT, 8 years old, many wanted to sign a contract. Everyone was dismissed! And this Norwegian girl sings in English! Do you know that she speaks several languages. I'm so grateful for everything she gives me. / A Swedish Viking
Regarding fame and celebrity: There are many examples of children who became famous at a young age. Sometimes some of these have had difficulties later in life! Angelina's family wants Angelia to have a normal upbringing and be a child and teenager like everyone else. When Angelina is off from school, she has performed in tons of shows all over the world. Most were charity shows for children. Angelina has lived in several countries and traveled a lot during her upbringing. She is well aware of the different conditions that exist in different countries! Angelina and her family have turned down many who wanted to sign a contract with her. But at 14 yo, she signed on for the Republican record. The condition of this contract is that Angelina and her family decide when it is time to promote her fully.
Angelina has occasionally had contact with singing teachers. But not so much to change her self-taught way of singing, but more to learn how to protect her amazing voice. Angelina, 4-5 yo, attended Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, She learned to play piano, guitar etc. She has also learned to arrange music etc. She started singing when she was very young! Since then, she has trained an incredible amount. I have heard that she practiced several hours a day, already at the age of 4-5.
Angelina gave a fabulous performance. At all ages Angelina has always been so appropriately dressed and has brought back beauty and humble elegance to the stage. Additionally she revises the lyric to be both age appropriate and free of foul language. She’s a dream come true.
You will find in all of Angelina's performances, that she carries herself with a certain class and humbleness. She is aware of her talent, but doesn't let it go to her head.
That was her formal introduction to people all over the world. Of course this was Norway but the word got out about her and her family took necessary steps to protect her against all the excitement which could steer her life in the wrong direction. She understood completely and so her education would be in the forefront and she would have the opportunity to live life as a young girl. The love in her family is enormous and what an example it is to see what genuine love can produce.
Beautiful reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 Im happy that you waited til you were comfortable watching this. Her uncle, who is her manager, said in an interview that after Anglina won NGT, all the big record labels came to Norway in their private jets, with suitcases full of money, trying to sign her. They have also told Disney 'no thanks'. She has been very well protected, and grown up to be a wonderful young woman with good morals and values. In recent times we have seen more of her speaking, in concerts and live streams. And it strikes me that - even if some of her fans arent satisfied with the amount of success, or lack thereof, (she is not topping the charts) - Angelina is absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of support and love she recieves from her fans! Thanks again, cant wait for the next one 🌹
I’m sure that everyone wants the best for her. I know that I do. Angelina is a talented, beautiful and SMART young woman. Her future is very bright no matter what path she pursues.
Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on TH-cam before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " ♥👣👸🏻🎷
You'll notice the last judge (the one with his mouth open) asked her if she knew what the song was about. I believe he was asking to see if she was aware of the history of the song. That's because 'Gloomy Sunday' is known to history as 'The Hungarian Suicide Song' and was banned in parts of Europe during WWI because many believed the song had led to a rash of suicides in the population. Angelina, unaware of this at the time, I'm sure, simply replied Yes, it's about a sad Sunday and I think the judge was pleased to realize she had a simple child's view of the song and it's meaning. Thus the comment in essence Yes I could feel that sad Sunday. Amazing Angelina would start her career with such a controversial song. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
So so glad you finaly got to this. This was the day I had my first experience of loosing grip of my jaw, over a piece of vokal music. 😲 And I`m still working on getting it in place. 😄
You don’t have to be afraid of anything Angelina has sung in her entire career. It’s all tasteful and age appropriate. She never loses her essence as a child, even though the vocals are unimaginably good. She’s not mimicking an adult-she’s just the best child singer you’ve ever heard. Her growth in each of her next three songs on NGT is hard to believe. Try the last song that won NGT: it’s Summertime, showing Angelina’s incredible vocal control, her jazz roots, and her ability to mesmerize an audience and judges.

Hi Red, the only thing Miss Angelina did very early on, was Make Up. I saw her with Make up in Singapore on stage at age 9. Mosten times she uses just a touch of it. She and her family always were carefulf how she dressed. Only now she starts to show more skin, like a 60s minidress. She has taste she knows exactly what not to show off. Rest asured her mom and grandma have an eye on her wardrobe for performance. Have a pleasant time. Elmar from Germany
Hi 👋 my beautiful Lady Red hair !! Angelina is an old soul and knows exactly how to protect herself from Hollywood and the evil music industry !! That's why she didn't win AGT the Champions 2020! then she would have been indebted to Simon Cowell and would have been under his command!! and Angelina did not want that !!! She is the "Boss" from an early age all band members called Angelina "The Boss" Angeliina wants to be alone with her phenomenal family 👍👌👏♥️ friends like Heidi Klum, Diana Warren, Red One, Rob Christie, music director and 2-time piano Grammy winner and Angelina's pianist and personal mentor from (Republik Records your record label your goal your dream which you literally said in the interview before this first performance "I want to sing for the whole world one day and spread love ♥️ and peace" ✌️☮️ and pass it on ! !! Billy Holiday was Angelina's big inspiration !!! But also Elvis, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, Dinah Washington, Frank Sinatra, Adele, Lauren Hill, Nina Simone, Jay Hawkins, Rhianna, Aretha Franklin !!! All the old great many singers who have already died !!! Angelina can sing everything !!! I love ♥️♥️♥️ it Angelina our barefood 👣Princess 👰and Queen of Jazz 🎷🎺 sings this Billy Holiday song amazing ! brilliant ! heartwarming ♥️ ! and soul ✨️touching!!! Great reaction and comments and analysis 👍👌👏love ♥️ and peace ✌️☮️ and kindness 😀 from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 PS. Do not be afraid for Angelina we are all angels 😇 and this is millions protect Angelina as best we can !! so that your goal and your dream come true! and you the world with your love, voice 😲 your humanity! Personality! modesty! And kindness can heal!!! Bye my red hair lady
This young lady will be a success as she already is.💕. She has more love than most older and established artists. She has already rocked this industry.💕🔥
Just keep in mind, to this day, she has never had a vocal coach❗️When she was 3 years old, she was asking her Mom (Sara) to sing on that Simon Show. (AGT) Even at that age, she was ready to go on stage! Well, you went on his NGT show. 😇🌸
She is ridiculous! That's mad for 7 years old. Even just performing in front of that many people let alone the singing talent she had even then. Like you said as well it's so nice to see a young girl/woman getting where she has based on her talent alone and not being one of those who opt for the time honoured show as much skin as you can route to vacuous success.
This was the third song I ever heard by Angelina about 5 years ago and the depth and beauty of it still gets me every time, it truly is stunning, I love the original but this gives it a new dimension. I just think this girl is the best thing I have heard in the last 50 years, So pleased you have done this one and loved your reaction.
Her controlling vibrato and raspiness is still here from the beginning, that's what the judges wondering at the end. This audition was the best they have seen. The Winner just appeared first time in public on stage 🎉
Fascinating. The raspiness of her voice is the element that I love the most. I love the vocal runs as they are so impressive, however, the raspiness is just so pretty to me.
How could anyone watch this beautiful young child perform and not fall in love. I certainly did. Her ten years since have only justified the love of her and the beauty of her person, not to mention that gorgeous voice. Her third performance at this even had her singing Bang Bang, which most of us know from Kill Bill, the movie. I think you should watch all of her performances here, but the reason I brought up Bang Bang, is that I would like you to take in her performance live, age 16, with guitar performing this concert at a summer concert in Norway in '22. Your would really enjoy the entire concert from: Mattias Axelsson's Channel @mattiasea th-cam.com/video/z0PvoYK8j4o/w-d-xo.html I frequently go back to Angelina's early days to re-enjoy the falling-in-love part of the Angelina experience. In the meantime, please have a fantastic new year.
I had heard of the song when I was younger, but to my knowledge had never heard Billie Holiday sing it. Rusty Shackleford did a mashup with Angelina and Billie singing it together, and it shows just how close to the original Angelina was at 7 years old. She totally amazed me when I first started listening to her, and over 7 years later she still does. th-cam.com/video/H_5_AT_N-pg/w-d-xo.html
Aww I love the suicide song, so touching ❤ I'm willing to bet 99+% of your listeners won't know the origin and deep roots in death and misery that it's steeped in, my only complaint is someone at her age, in her position cannot understand the depths of this type of emotion...
I agree. I think that is why the judge questioned her. You could tell she did not understand. And I’m glad. It’s interesting because most people ( including me who loves lyrics) won’t know a songs meaning or actual lyrics! Was I ever red faced listening to a song with my mom..
@redheadedneighbor hahaha for sure, a "sad sunday" is a light way of saying that after that song was written, there was a HUGE wave of suicides by people who were in the process of listening to it, when the numbers of dead people began to approach the thousands they literally made it illegal in that (and a few other) country. Not to mention the absolute misery and heart-wrenching sorrow of which the original artist suffered... As someone who has always "actually listened to and interpreted" song lyrics from childhood, it has never ceased to stun me how few people realize what they are actually singing along to... so much of the most well know songs and most revered artist were and are a cesspool of roiling trauma, anger, broken hearts and substance abuse... it's part of what allowed them to see through the human condition and make music that reflects the soul, not the limbic system... ie, truly great/transcendent art ❤️
"Gloomy Sunday" was banned in a number of European countries during WWII, since they feared it would increase the suicide rate. Angelina chose the song because she loved Billie Holiday and the melody of the song. Thankfully, a 7 year old can't fully understand the meaning of the lyrics, but in my opinion, Angelina FELT the sad emotions of the song and was able to convey that emotion. I used to be in the camp with those who believe a child singer can't evoke mature emotions because they haven't lived through them yet. Then I learned of Angelina and Alma Deutscher. I now believe there are a few children who have great emotional maturity at a young age and able to convey those emotions in their art.
@@thothtahuti5509 absolutely. I can’t tell you how many songs I have been singing from adolescence and thought.. what the heck? Or finding out the nursery rhymes stories from youth. 🙄
Actually she did understand what the lyrics were about. She admitted that later in an interview. She had been involved in editing the song for this show.

Thank you for the back story about how she picked this song to sing.
Actually, Angelina has stated on more than one occasion that she never gets nervous when performing live.
She doesn’t look it
