Thank you for watching our reaction! What Psi meant to say that our Angel is very versatile and depth of her voice is just perfection! We have recorded this RV last year. We are a big fan of Angelina Jordan. More videos to come. Thank you for your love and support.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. The Queen of Jazz. Stick with Angelina and 209 subs will blow up. Greatest performance ever by a 9 year old. Barely 9 and does her own arrangements. She turned 17 on 1/10/23 Definitely all 4 performances, in order, on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old. Gloomy Sunday, I'm a Fool to Want You, Bang Bang and Summertime. Quick peek at something newer would be Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT Champions 2020 at 13 years old. The greatest talent performance ever.
Angelina has played with some of the best Musicians and Orchestra's in the World 🌎 all over the world 🌎 since she was 8 yrs old, in the past 10 yrs shes performed on more stages than most of the top musicians in music industry
You will soon have other angels descend upon you giving you more info on Angelina. Some have already visited. She has over 130 covers, 1000 voices, 5 original songs and several songs written for her. Some covers are so good the the original composers have given her copyrights for her arrangements. The rest are judged by many to be as good or better than the original artists. I don't like comparisons, but she does make each interpretation uniquely her own. Her two you tube channels have over 120M views, but she is still flying under the radar since her family has protected her from the exploitation of the music business. NONETHELESS she is signed with Republic and is releasing her first single from her new album this month and the full album in the fall. She just sang the official song for the FIFA Awards last month for 300M viewers worldwide. Her star might be ready to go supernova as Republic starts promoting her after she graduates from High School this summer. Previously most of her concert appearances have been for charities where she has help raise millions for children worldwide. The bare feet are not just symbolic, she has done much to really help poor children all over the world. Check out her versions of " I'll Be There" and "Here Comes The Sun" for NRC, the Norway Childrens Relief Fund in this regard. She is not only a great singer but also a great human being.
- Who is Angelina Jordan - (9 y/o here) Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 5 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear. At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more. Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood. That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old. Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney. At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. She turned 17 on January 10, 2023, and will graduate from high school after the spring semester. From then on, she will embark on her full-time professional career. She's been working closely with Republic on her first album under their label. It's likely that it will drop shortly after her graduation.
- The Barefoot Princess - (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.) Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
She was just 9, and this was her own arrangement. It was the last changes she wrote down for the musicians. On the candle it is a picture of the original artist, Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Never refer to the word Mimic when mentioning Angelina, as Angelina is the boss arranging this song herself at 9 years old and paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins, Angelina arranges everything she covers and is a prodigy, Angelina is 17 years old now, I’ve been following Angelina for around 8 years now, great reaction thanks 🙏
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Yes, as Terje said, she was actually 2 months past her 9th birthday, this just wasn't posted until after she was 10. By the way, she won Norway's Got Talent almost exactly a year prior. She entered when she was 7 and the last 3 songs she did she had just turned 8. The judges were skeptical after her audition, thinking maybe she was just great at mimicking the singer, but soon found out in her next 3 songs that she doesn't mimic. 17 years old now and her first album is due out later this year.
@@PsiBellaMusic , hi! Just curious, is this a new channel y'all started? I've been subscribed to y'all, but this showed "unsubscribed," so I subscribed again! Lol! :) I could have bet my last dollar that you had reacted to Angelina already, but I'm probably thinking of all your reactions to the wonderful Lucy Thomas & Amira Willighagen. But Angelina is just as extraordinary vocally and beautiful as a person! She's actually the first of these "child prodigies" which I discovered about 3-1/2 years ago, followed by my discovery of Amira, Lucy, Laura Bretan (which you should also check out!), and Dimash Kudaibergen. This video was the first one I ever saw of Angelina singing, and she "put a spell" on me ever since! Thanks and hope for many more Angelina Jordan reactions from y'all!
@ John Battles, Yes, we have two channel now! Our main channel will be focusing on shows and our New Psi and Bella Music Reaction will be on music only!! Thank you so much for all your love and support to both of our channel!! Very much appreciate it. More great things to come on both of our channels. :-)
All of the other performers you listed are fantastic. Laura B is often overlooked. Amira has also progressed into an amazing performer. Dimash is just a bit too intense for me. His range is unbelievable, but I’m not part dog so can’t hear much of his upper register.
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to the best rabbit hole on the internet ❤. Theres a parade of astonishing performances in her 140+ covers of her own choice and arrangements. Don’t forget to play these on your speakers at home to fill up the house. Her , many, ballads are a balm and just make the day better. Enjoy your journey
I have listened to this masterpiece by Angelina hundreds of times, mostly to enjoy new reactions, like yours to this very lovely and talented person. She was nine here, and as you know, is seventeen now and soon to be Republic's main star talent. I will frequently come back to these early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, at her youngest, are absolutely stunning, and set the stage for you to lose yourself down this beautiful rabbit hole. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Angelina Jordan is 9 years old in this video. Her first live performance of this song was in Germany--little big shots, I believe. It is every bit as good as this, but more refined. Here is the link for you: th-cam.com/video/qrZLjJ3VBZg/w-d-xo.html I never tire of hearing this through reaction videos like yours. Nice, Friends, nice. Grandma Ellen, out..
New subscriber thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible performance of this Jay Hawkins 1950s classic - at age 9. Btw - this was Angelina's arrangement (& even at this young age, the studio musicians affectionately referred to her as "The Boss"). Now 17, Angelina has well over 180 covers & some originals readily available on TH-cam. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Agreed with you 100%!! Angelina is just pure impressive young lady! Psi just use a wrong word to describe her. He meant to say our angel has a lot of versatility on her vocal. She is just out of this world!! Thank you so much for watching our channel!
Actually, mimicking was how she learned to sing. She would listen to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday and all the others and she simply do what they were doing. Norway's Got Talent was all mimicking, I can clearly hear the mimicry in Summertime and I Put A Spell and Gloomy Sunday. About 30 seconds into Gloomy she sings an unusual descending tone. Spot on Billie Holiday, and everyone cheered when she sang it. Same with I put A Spell On You, she was imitating Screaming J Hawkins, and what's great is Hawkins had a low gravelly black blues voice and Angie boldly did it the way her little girl body could do. Same words, with a skilled kid singing it. So she is imitating and honoring Hawkins at the same time. Now go Listen to Screaming J Hawkins singing this and listen to how she used his performance to learn how to sing. That's a true prodigy. By the time she sang Bohemian Rhapsody she was sloughing off her influences and used her ideas, no imitation but tons of time absorbing their styles. And that's why she doesn't use teachers, she is her own best teacher, as we all should be. She can speak 6 languages fluently, again something that requires extraordinary ability to get the accents correct. Everyone else from Norway has their American accent, but Angie speaks English like all of us do in the U.S. language and singing are very similar, and Angie has her ability to imitate. True genius. And I'm not saying that because it's a fun to write that. Sadly I don't think Juliette has Angie's singing abilities. She probably has the smarts though.
@@cliffirddelbridge2810 I would quibble about the word "mimic" here, which means recreate a precise sound without its meaning. Angelina has the feeling of the song and is imitating the overall style, but even in Gloomy Sunday there are moments where she does not do what Billie Holliday did. Again with Summertime, she follows Ella Fitzgerald closely but the feeling she has for the song makes her differ from Ella, notably in the way she handles that high note (""Daddy"). With "Spell" she is repackaging Hawking's original wild delivery into a more musical arrangement which is strongly musical while retaining the feeling of wildness. This is a long way from mimicry.
@Fred Neecher What's your point? I know exactly what I'm talking about, so why do you think I need your tutoring? I'm 59 years into being a pro musician, peace.
@Fred Neecher I don't see what you're getting other than pull the dominance thing. My definition of mimicking is different than yours, I only use like 30 words in my replies. What you did is called a derailment. What was the topic? Oh yeah, you.
She was 9yrs 2mo here and Angelina mimics Nothing ... this was her own arrangement based on her take on Scream'N J Halkins Original version This is GODS Talent she is pitch perfect Go watch her Norway's Got Talent performance and HOLD on tight! Oh and btw Welcome to the Journey that IS Angelina
This is our first RV back a year ago. We are a big fan of our angel AJ here!! We all know that she does not mimick! Psi corrected himself by saying that AJ is voice very versatile and vocal is just very impressive!!
Mimic??? Get to know this artist & her versatile body of work before jumping to the conclusion of 'mimic..' This is her own arrangement of this song by 'Screamin' Jay Hawkins'...and a tribute to him. Here's a fact: We who are here, we're here for AJ & most know her musical & personal history forwards & backwards. If you will do your own research (as we did) this will get you up to speed; if you won't, then just read the comments to learn more.... One thumbs up for AJ and for you- - thanks for airing her video.
AJ is 9yr and 2 mo old when she recorded this and she had studied the original Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 original. She rewrote the lyrics arranged it the way she wanted it and even Hand wrote her "wishes" for the band to follow and gave it to the band leader ( First part of the video) The band member loved her so much they were calling her Boss and several of them went on to do other recordings with her as she grew up. You will want to see all 4 of her 2014 NGT started at 7yr old and won it at 8 years old then at 10 years old she did many unbelievable songs and concerts a big band performance of "Feeling Good" , A huge concert where she was invited to sing for Allen Walkers back home concert she opened with "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded" she also covered a Disco song "I Will Survive" and many others
Thanks, this is indeed a reupload, but to our new second channel which will be our exclusive music reaction channel going forward. We launched it yesterday and uploaded a few of our most popular videos to kick start it. Thanks in advance for subbing to the new channel!
Welcome to the world to our barefoot princess and her 1000 voices! You just open Pandora box! Regards from Norway 🇳🇴 (She doesn't mimic).she was 9 years old! 😊
A slight correction: she was 9 years, 2 months old when he sang this. And, with her birthday in January, she is now 17. Republic Records, where she signed when she was 14, will be releasing her full album this year.
9 years two months old now she’s nine years and two months she arranges post on her self. She’s the leader of the band the shit you gave the Director is a change that she wants in the band. How do you gonna have a son she’s the boss and they call her the boss because of they respect her she is the she’s in charge of everything.
I've watched you guys several times before.. Did you have to restart your channel because I know you had a lot of subscribers..YT seems to be causing a lot of issues for content makers lately .. regardless, great, informed reaction ☺️♥️
We launched our New Psi and Bella Music Channel on Friday. This channel will be focusing on music. Our Psi and Bella Reaction Channel will be focusing on shows. We have re-upload some of our top 60 RV that we did. More to come. Thanj you so much for your love and support to our channel!
Thank you for your reaction . Can you please elaborate on your remark about her " mimicry ". What or who is she mimic because there is nowhere a version of this song that sound the same as this and it is her own arrangement.
Hi! Two questions for you. Please forgive me for being "picky" . Are you going to upload the 29 videos from Psi & Bella Reactions to this channel? If so, they are not strictly "First Time Reactions" as your title declares, as you have watched and commented upon them previously. Your previous channel still exists. Are you going to upload more videos of Angelina to it? What ever the outcome, I will still be watching out for more Angelina performances from you.
Yes, our previous channel still exist. We have 2 channels now. One will be PSI and Bella Reactions focusing on shows and one for Psi and Bella Music. We have re-upload our top 60 videos so far. Sorry for the confusion. We will continue upload new music video everyday for both channel. Thank you for love and support. :-)
Nine years old and a half the paper you see her give them to the Director is it to change it do you want to make it to the band? How do you going to sing it? She may be the smallest in the room, but she is the part and she’s in charge and they call her the boss respectfully. Child prodigy speaks three languages and uses a third language factors. Think about you’re gonna need it.
Yes, this is re-upload of our old reaction. We have launch our our new psi and bella music channel. We have two channel now. One channel will be focusing on shows and psi and bella music will be focusing on music only. Thank you for your love and support to our channel!
Angelina is one of the best singer! What Psi meant that She has the old soul that has almost sound like the original artist! thank you so much for watching our channel. Much appreciate it!

@@PsiBellaMusic 👍 gotcha love your reaction
These musicians have played with her on several of her videos. The fact that she does her own arrangements is the reason that they call her the Boss.
Thank you! She is amazing and very mature for her age arranging her note and tone. She is the boss alright!. We are a big fan for our angel. :-)
You need to check out her cover of I rather go blind by Etta James she was 12 or 13 at the time. It's incredible. God bless
Thank you so much for suggestion and for watching our reactions. We truly appreciate it. More to come.
Awesome reaction to an Epic Performance, God Bless!

As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Thank you so much!!
Yes, as Terje said, she was actually 2 months past her 9th birthday, this just wasn't posted until after she was 10. By the way, she won Norway's Got Talent almost exactly a year prior. She entered when she was 7 and the last 3 songs she did she had just turned 8. The judges were skeptical after her audition, thinking maybe she was just great at mimicking the singer, but soon found out in her next 3 songs that she doesn't mimic. 17 years old now and her first album is due out later this year.
Thank you so much!!
@@PsiBellaMusic , hi! Just curious, is this a new channel y'all started? I've been subscribed to y'all, but this showed "unsubscribed," so I subscribed again! Lol! :) I could have bet my last dollar that you had reacted to Angelina already, but I'm probably thinking of all your reactions to the wonderful Lucy Thomas & Amira Willighagen. But Angelina is just as extraordinary vocally and beautiful as a person! She's actually the first of these "child prodigies" which I discovered about 3-1/2 years ago, followed by my discovery of Amira, Lucy, Laura Bretan (which you should also check out!), and Dimash Kudaibergen. This video was the first one I ever saw of Angelina singing, and she "put a spell" on me ever since! Thanks and hope for many more Angelina Jordan reactions from y'all!
@ John Battles, Yes, we have two channel now! Our main channel will be focusing on shows and our New Psi and Bella Music Reaction will be on music only!! Thank you so much for all your love and support to both of our channel!! Very much appreciate it. More great things to come on both of our channels. :-)
@@PsiBellaMusic , thank you!
All of the other performers you listed are fantastic. Laura B is often overlooked. Amira has also progressed into an amazing performer. Dimash is just a bit too intense for me. His range is unbelievable, but I’m not part dog so can’t hear much of his upper register.
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for watching our reaction video and truly appreciate it!
Welcome to the best rabbit hole on the internet ❤. Theres a parade of astonishing performances in her 140+ covers of her own choice and arrangements. Don’t forget to play these on your speakers at home to fill up the house. Her , many, ballads are a balm and just make the day better. Enjoy your journey
Thank you so much! We love our Angel!!
I have listened to this masterpiece by Angelina hundreds of times, mostly to enjoy new reactions, like yours to this very lovely and talented person. She was nine here, and as you know, is seventeen now and soon to be Republic's main star talent. I will frequently come back to these early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, at her youngest, are absolutely stunning, and set the stage for you to lose yourself down this beautiful rabbit hole.

Thank you so much for watching our RV!! She is just amazing artist. We love Angelina our angel!!
@@PsiBellaMusic Her name is
ANGELINA
@ Linda, Just type-o. correction has been made.
@@PsiBellaMusic 😉👍
Angelina Jordan is 9 years old in this video. Her first live performance of this song was in Germany--little big shots, I believe. It is every bit as good as this, but more refined. Here is the link for you: th-cam.com/video/qrZLjJ3VBZg/w-d-xo.html I never tire of hearing this through reaction videos like yours. Nice, Friends, nice. Grandma Ellen, out..
Thankyou so much for watching reaction! We truly appreciate it.
New subscriber thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible performance of this Jay Hawkins 1950s classic - at age 9. Btw - this was Angelina's arrangement (& even at this young age, the studio musicians affectionately referred to her as "The Boss"). Now 17, Angelina has well over 180 covers & some originals readily available on TH-cam. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you so much for your love and support to our channel. Truly appreciate it. Welcome to the fam!
One word that NEVER applies to Angelina is "mimic"; that is all her.
Agreed with you 100%!! Angelina is just pure impressive young lady! Psi just use a wrong word to describe her. He meant to say our angel has a lot of versatility on her vocal. She is just out of this world!! Thank you so much for watching our channel!
Actually, mimicking was how she learned to sing. She would listen to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday and all the others and she simply do what they were doing. Norway's Got Talent was all mimicking, I can clearly hear the mimicry in Summertime and I Put A Spell and Gloomy Sunday. About 30 seconds into Gloomy she sings an unusual descending tone. Spot on Billie Holiday, and everyone cheered when she sang it. Same with I put A Spell On You, she was imitating Screaming J Hawkins, and what's great is Hawkins had a low gravelly black blues voice and Angie boldly did it the way her little girl body could do. Same words, with a skilled kid singing it. So she is imitating and honoring Hawkins at the same time. Now go Listen to Screaming J Hawkins singing this and listen to how she used his performance to learn how to sing. That's a true prodigy.
By the time she sang Bohemian Rhapsody she was sloughing off her influences and used her ideas, no imitation but tons of time absorbing their styles. And that's why she doesn't use teachers, she is her own best teacher, as we all should be.
She can speak 6 languages fluently, again something that requires extraordinary ability to get the accents correct. Everyone else from Norway has their American accent, but Angie speaks English like all of us do in the U.S. language and singing are very similar, and Angie has her ability to imitate. True genius. And I'm not saying that because it's a fun to write that. Sadly I don't think Juliette has Angie's singing abilities. She probably has the smarts though.
@@cliffirddelbridge2810 I would quibble about the word "mimic" here, which means recreate a precise sound without its meaning. Angelina has the feeling of the song and is imitating the overall style, but even in Gloomy Sunday there are moments where she does not do what Billie Holliday did. Again with Summertime, she follows Ella Fitzgerald closely but the feeling she has for the song makes her differ from Ella, notably in the way she handles that high note (""Daddy"). With "Spell" she is repackaging Hawking's original wild delivery into a more musical arrangement which is strongly musical while retaining the feeling of wildness. This is a long way from mimicry.
@Fred Neecher What's your point? I know exactly what I'm talking about, so why do you think I need your tutoring? I'm 59 years into being a pro musician, peace.
@Fred Neecher I don't see what you're getting other than pull the dominance thing. My definition of mimicking is different than yours, I only use like 30 words in my replies. What you did is called a derailment.
What was the topic? Oh yeah, you.
She was 9yrs 2mo here and Angelina mimics Nothing ... this was her own arrangement based on her take on Scream'N J Halkins Original version This is GODS Talent she is pitch perfect Go watch her Norway's Got Talent performance and HOLD on tight! Oh and btw Welcome to the Journey that IS Angelina
Thank you! :-)
It seems as though this couple p-ed off a lot of us when they said that AJ mimicked :) Go get 'em tiger!!!
This is our first RV back a year ago. We are a big fan of our angel AJ here!! We all know that she does not mimick! Psi corrected himself by saying that AJ is voice very versatile and vocal is just very impressive!!
Mimic??? Get to know this artist & her versatile body of work before jumping to the conclusion of 'mimic..'
This is her own arrangement of this song by 'Screamin' Jay Hawkins'...and a tribute to him.
Here's a fact: We who are here, we're here for AJ & most know her musical & personal history forwards & backwards.
If you will do your own research (as we did) this will get you up to speed; if you won't, then just read the comments to learn more....
One thumbs up for AJ and for you- -
thanks for airing her video.
Thank you for watching our RV! We are a big fan of our Angel. Very much appreciate you love and support! :-)
She's 9 here.
Thank you so much!
Epic!
AJ is 9yr and 2 mo old when she recorded this and she had studied the original Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 original. She rewrote the lyrics arranged it the way she wanted it and even Hand wrote her "wishes" for the band to follow and gave it to the band leader ( First part of the video) The band member loved her so much they were calling her Boss and several of them went on to do other recordings with her as she grew up. You will want to see all 4 of her 2014 NGT started at 7yr old and won it at 8 years old then at 10 years old she did many unbelievable songs and concerts a big band performance of "Feeling Good" , A huge concert where she was invited to sing for Allen Walkers back home concert she opened with "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded" she also covered a Disco song "I Will Survive" and many others
Thank you!

@@PsiBellaMusic 👍
I've watched you guys several times before.. Did you have to restart your channel because I know you had a lot of subscribers..YT seems to be causing a lot of issues for content makers lately .. regardless, great, informed reaction ☺️♥️
We launched our New Psi and Bella Music Channel on Friday. This channel will be focusing on music. Our Psi and Bella Reaction Channel will be focusing on shows.
We have re-upload some of our top 60 RV that we did. More to come. Thanj you so much for your love and support to our channel!
OH NO! Did you have to restart your channel?
No, we are have 2 channels. One for music and one for shows. We just launch the music channel today.
For reference: th-cam.com/video/6x2Bfx1ejvU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your reaction . Can you please elaborate on your remark about her " mimicry ". What or who is she mimic because there is nowhere a version of this song that sound the same as this and it is her own arrangement.
Our pleasure! AJ is just one of the best singer! We are a big fan of our angel!
Hi! Two questions for you. Please forgive me for being "picky" . Are you going to upload the 29 videos from Psi & Bella Reactions to this channel? If so, they are not strictly "First Time Reactions" as your title declares, as you have watched and commented upon them previously. Your previous channel still exists. Are you going to upload more videos of Angelina to it?
What ever the outcome, I will still be watching out for more Angelina performances from you.
Yes, our previous channel still exist. We have 2 channels now. One will be PSI and Bella Reactions focusing on shows and one for Psi and Bella Music. We have re-upload our top 60 videos so far. Sorry for the confusion. We will continue upload new music video everyday for both channel. Thank you for love and support. :-)
Did anyone else not know she's deaf in her right ear?
NINE
9
Nine years old and a half the paper you see her give them to the Director is it to change it do you want to make it to the band? How do you going to sing it? She may be the smallest in the room, but she is the part and she’s in charge and they call her the boss respectfully. Child prodigy speaks three languages and uses a third language factors. Think about you’re gonna need it.
I've seen this reaction before... is this a reupload?
Yes, this is a reupload. We launched our new music channel yesterday! Thank you for your love and support.
@@PsiBellaMusic Only Moneymaker
NO! 9 yrs and 2 mo., about a year after winning Norway's Got Talent.
Thank you!
Is this a re-upload of an old reaction on a different channel?
Yes, this is re-upload of our old reaction. We have launch our our new psi and bella music channel. We have two channel now. One channel will be focusing on shows and psi and bella music will be focusing on music only. Thank you for your love and support to our channel!
