I can see she's already blown your mind. Please go back further, when she's 6 in her 1st ever time in a studio singing I Who Have Nothing. She is in total control. Enjoy!!
Over the years, she will become a legend for the great moments in the world. She has plenty of time. Remember she is just 17 years old today, which we forget when we see her perform. Republic Records who should also be praised for appreciating this unique talent.
More than a Star, More than a Superstar, one in a Billion ( x7.85 ) ! 10 years later and she has just given us a new powerhouse in " Love Don't Let Me Go " and some teasers this week for her new EP, and she has proved that is has lived the potential and dream and is about to shake the whole planet. You have the hardest job in the world choosing the next one. The obvious one is the Magnificent and hard to believe " Studio Black and White " I Put a Spell on You " I would go self penned Million Miles Studio Version doubled up with the 2022 Live version and then Suspicious Minds, but then there are 199 others I could recommend! Look forward to the next one.
OK. She at any age will shock you. First recorded singing at eighteen months of age. At two going on three she spends hours scrolling through TH-cam listening to Jazz artists daily. At three she tells her Mother she wants to sing on that Simon show. (Which she does at thirteen). She enters school at four. In after school program she is taking music, piano, violin and flute. She has never had a voice coach. At five she is studying music theory and speaking three languages. Norwegian, Persian and English. At five she is reading English at a high level. At five she try’s to audition for Norway’s Got Talent, but is told she is too young and must be seven. She is practicing four to six hours per day six days per week. At five she tells her Mother she wants to sing; at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. (Which she does at eight) Her Mother is trying to slow her down but she wants more. At six she is living in the Middle East, where she meets an orphaned child, while walking with her Mother and Grandmother. It is a cold day, and Angelina spends around forty five minutes talking with the girl, while her Mother and Grandmother waited for her. She gives the girl her shoes, and upon arriving home, she records the encounter in her diary. This is where her legend begins. At seven she auditions for Norway’s Got Talent. At eight she wins Norway’s Got Talent. At eight and nine she tour’s the world singing at charity events. At eight she sings at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. At nine she publishes her book titled “Between Two Harts “ based on her diary entries at six. Available on her website as an e-book. She is the youngest published author in Norwegian history. This is not a child’s book. The thoughts, context and syntax are not those of a child. It should be read by all. Prodigy does not come close to describing Angelina. Maybe the reality lays in her name.
Alex, YES, she is a gift of God, but she also seems to be a workaholic, (I said seems) practicing 36 hours weekly since around age 3!!!!! She wanted to partake NGT much earlier, at 5, but she was not allowed. Beside practicing, singing at charity and fundraise, the Nobel Peace Prize, she helped a bit with her little sister, she even took her lil sis later ona rehearsal with a school orchestra. Angelina kneeled beside Juliette, so she was at eye level with her six year younger sister. She sewed her stage clothes after designing them with grandma Mery. I bet she can cook too. Today the sisters are very close, and a lot of us think, that Juliette might take over management from uncle Michael, when Juliette finished school in 5 to 7 years. She already helps uncle out. Be safe, be healthy and all that stuff. Elmar from Germany
Her Mama said that at that moment she knew that she had helped Angelina fulfill her dream of singing for the world. Every time I see Mama cry I cry too. So beautiful!
As her japanese grandfather told her, she stays true. Her new songs she releases now are some kind of a poppy jazz. Thank the Lord, real good music is back!!!!!

Thank you. You are in for such a treat. I envy you but I will see she can flex her voice to suit every genre. Obviously you will prefer songs that are your taste but every song you listen to will be another aspect of Angelina for you to discover. When I started watching she was 8. I wondered if she would be one of those child singers that would hit a ceiling. There were points were I thought....well she cannot get better now....but she still is.

Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at the age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina sings in 5 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a top-rated book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts)"Norway's youngest published author" a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name, she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when her audition for Billy Hollowday's Gloomy Sunday went viral and she got world press she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. In her younger years before age 13, she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle, a manager, who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 8years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Her mother and or her Grandmother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced millions to environmental causes and children's causes around the world. Angelina has produced over 160 covers and 6 originals and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this"rabbit hole" not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own is just unbelievable. Angelina writes her own music and produces Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, and What is Life. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, and her father is from Sweeden. The " world-known artist'" grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran, and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, and Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather and her original cut Shield is about the people that protected her and watched over her during her performances and travels. Although Angelina didn't win AGT Champions 2020 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, and Save the World she's on her way, after school, to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.
Oh boy, are you in for a ride and so many of us Angels will be going along with you because we can watch her over and over and never tire! The second performance was an elimination round, no bells or whistles and no audience to distract the participants or judges. The semi final comes next in which she sings “Bang, bang” originally by Cher then later by Nancy Sinatra. The final she sings “Summertime “. We were all astounded by her talent in the first two rounds, only to be flabbergasted by the improvement she made in just a few months. Looking forward to it!
You can tell when a reactor stops being a reactor and becomes a fan and then an Angel. The impact of Angelina is like no other. Some instantly feel it while others take a bit. Either way, it's a great thing!
As amazing as these songs were, you can see her get better with every performance. When Angelina was about 10, I no longer thought of her as a child singer. Her voice was so strong and fully formed. When she was 12, I knew that she was the best singer I ever heard-and I grew up with the great music of the 50’s and 60’s. You made a comment that many people say who just discovered Angelina-that these songs you heard today were perfect for her voice. But what you can’t know yet is that she sings five or six genres beautifully, with completely different style, vocals, and rhythms: jazz, blues, pop, soul, r&b, ballads… She’s known as the Girl with a Thousand Voices. And each one will blow you away.
She is amazing... so good at such a young age it would be hard to believe if you hadn't seen it. Apart from anything the preternatural calm she always has when performing is something to see.. wait until you see her performing What a Difference a Day Makes at 8 in the middle of a large crowd, entering her own special world and so amazingly poised and fearless she transmits calm to those watching ... Her voice does change with age but she just gets better and better.... absolutely not one of those prodigies that others catch up with and become less special: she has an album coming out very soon and we know one of the songs and have heard a "teaser" of another and they are great... she stays true to her (long) jazz roots because has developed a contemporary jazzy-pop sound which is fantastic !
That’s the barefoot princess, you got to see her performance if I put a spell on you by screaming jay Hawkins, 1956 version. And also to let you know she does her own arrangements even at that age. She is absolutely a musical genius. Barefoot princess is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven.
If you haven’t seen the rehearsal for Quincy Jones 85th Birthday Concert where she sing Fly Me to the Moon, you need to see it. She is 12. Sings Frank Sinatra’s arrangement better than Sinatra. Jones did the arrangement for Sinatra and the Count Basie Band. Another favorite of mine is when she is 11 and sings Lovin’ You.
Yeah it was the mum Sarah Astar with the blond hair. She's only 39 years old. Many think Mery Zamani is her mum, but she's her grandmother. You see her in Angelina's new single "Love don't let me go". 😉
Angelina was named National Treasure in Norway, after her win in NGT. The award was established by the Norwegian royal house and representatives from the government and the Norwegian people!
Your life just changed. Watching this prodigy grow right in front of you is kind of unprecedented by way of normalized social media. She has over 200 videos and each is a facet that builds her amazing story. We listen to her every day for over four years and it never grows old and remains astonishing. Her voice is a balm especially in tough times. Enjoy your journey 😊
I am not an Angelina Jordan fan,, but as many of those who are have said, her studio performance of "I put a spell on you," when she was 9, is really amazing and as far as I know, it is her best. This performance is lovely of course - as was her AGT cover of Bohemian Rhapsody - but "I put a spell on you" shows a different side to her that would I think astonish you.
This is actually an edited version of the performance. Not sure why this shortened version was created. If you come across the full version it’s even more impressive how she stays in perfect pitch and timing all the way through.
Gloomy Sunday, her audition piece, was performed when she was 7. For the next 3 performances she was 8. When she said on AGT that she won NGT at 7, that was scripted to compensate for the difference between performance dates (2019) and broadcast dates (2020). Her last performance on NGT, when she won, was aired live on May 23/2014. Her birthday is Jan 10/2006.
They did not have golden buzzers. The a cappella audition was part of an elimination round. Many of those standing behind her did not make the cut. I did stay, and my heart is happy that you hear and understand the greatness there. Thank you for taking the extra time. Grandma Ellen, smiling.
I totally agree. By the way: I really appreciate all your posts Ellen. You have a friendly and warm way of writing that I appreciate. All of us "angels" wish Angelina all the happiness on earth, and you show that Ellen through your choice of words etc. / A Swedish, reasonably tough, viking.
You see now, where her singing style and main influence is coming from. One of AW's role models too. Billie Holiday... And " I'm a fool to want you" is still one of my favourites. The reactor Kaleidoscope RMX put this on the backtrack of Billie Holiday: pitch perfect...
When I review these performances, the adjectives such as incredible, crazy, monstrous, etc. etc. I always find them reductive, unfortunately, there are no adjectives to explain this prodigy, incredible 7-year-old children and singers exist but, my God, Angelina is really of a other planet. Perfect reaction, thank you good life and music..from Italy..Massimo
If you want to cover them all you better hurry up. It's 200+ YT performances so far. And it'll probably at least 15 more this year from her EP and album alone 😁
Yeah..more history-making Angelina performances (she does it all the time)!! There are two more NGT tracks from Angelina (Cher's "Bang-Bang" and Gershwin's "Summertime"). Then ~160+ more after that !!! Enjoy the ride!!
Wonderful reaction. I discovered AJ 3 years ago and I watched reactions everyday since. For me it was not a question of talent and knowledge, it was a miracle and I like to see people having the same emotions than I the first time listening to her. You are starting a fantastic journey because you still have many incredible songs to discover.
If you compare this to Billie Holiday's original of Gloomy Sunday, you will come away believing Billie sang both renditions. This is when all the talk about Billie being reincarnated into a 7 year old girl from Norway. Angelina is a natural 'vocal chameleon' who is able to emulate the vocals of numerous artists, which you will come to realize when you've explored her catalog of songs.
Absolutely wonderful performance, most people are born crying Angelina came out singing she has Jazz flowing through her veins, checkout Angelina’s winning performance on the same show, her performances is the classic song ( SUMMERTIME) great reaction thanks 🙏
Great reaction Alex, most reactors have never heard the song or even heard of Billie Holiday, so knowing both, you bring a lot to the table. I also I love when reactors are so impressed with a song they have to hear another one. It's going to be hard to follow her chronologically this late in the game. She has 100's of videos & now that she has graduated HS she is starting her career on a full-time basis. She just released a new original last month, Love Don't Let Me Go & any day she will release her debut EP with Republic Records called "Old Enough," with 5 new original songs. Then in the fall, she promised a full album of originals followed by a Global Concert Tour. It will be hard to ignore her exploding popularity while you are still listening to 8 or 9 yo Angelina. You might have to jump around between chronologically following her & listening to her new music as she releases it. However you do it, I can say that musically, it's "life changing." Liked & subscribed for your Angelina journey, however you do it.
Thank you for your great reaction. Angelina didn’t want to sing kids songs. At this time she sang a lot of jazz as she was introduced to it by her grandmother at a very young age. One of her biggest early influences was Billie Holiday.
Hahaha, yup. You watch that on the wrong day and you are toast man. Musicality in a tiny kid blows my mind. Maturity. Wild. I'd accept her rather cool voice, or decent singing at that age well before that stuff.
You are going about this in the best way IMO, Alex....starting at her beginning and then following her progression. It's hard to believe but you will be amazed, and surprised, every step of the way. She just keeps getting better and better. Yes, she is always very calm and poised when performing. Interviewers have tried to get her to say she is nervous before big events, but she always says - no, I'm excited to perform. The bigger the event and the larger the audience is when she is at her best. You have an exciting and rewarding journey ahead of you and it will be fun to watch.
Wonderful reactions. Thanks. I've been following her every day for 3.5 years and watching you makes me nostalgic for those early days. I'm looking forward to her third and fourth performance reactions at NGT from you.
Great reaction and two in a row is not a problem, she has so many fascinating covers in different genres and one cannot grow tired of listening to her.
У нашего народа как сказал исскуствовед Дмитрий З.... ухо испорчено низкопробным примитивом творящем в шоу бизнесе, поэтому если они иногда и слушают то не понимают что такое настоящее исскуство
Time for another new artist that is a God Gift of voice " Gabriel Henrique " he sings covers and songs of his native language Portuguese. He is from Brazil. English he is learning. Ohhh Mann he is so good.
Subscribed. Wonderful to see a reactor as genuinely blown away as many of her fans have been. I only found her in February of this year and so a 'young' angel compared to others ... but I love re-living my journey with someone discovering her for the first time, as many other angels have said previously also. Looking forward to your future reactions / journey with Angelina!
I'm so pleased to see you discover this extraordinary talent. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Angelina had already been singing for 5 years before the Gloomy Sunday audition but this was her first exposure to the general public. She was listening to Billie Holiday and other jazz greats at an age when you and I were barely speaking in proper sentences. The a cappella song was in the elimination round with no audience present. But just you wait till you see her two live performances! She really comes into her own and, by the way, arranged the performances herself. Do make sure you get subtitles and watch the judges' reactions - they are priceless!
Oh my friend I’ve been studying her and listen to her and she won and a half. I got 400 or some of my private files. I reviewed many songs she’s done and she’s just she’s 17 now and she’s a republic records and age of 14 she just Taylor loosen a new song called love don’t let me go. It’s an album of the first cut is left on amigo by Angelina Jordan. It’s already out it’s been doing really well over 1 million views now and she is on her way to become a superstar. Now news is Angelina Jordan Astar. I just got her walk of fame star on Hollywood Boulevard.
Alex yours is the type of re action I search for daily..yiu really understand the enormity of what you’re witnessing…greatness in the making..aren’t we lucky?😁🙏
In these first two appearances Angelina pretty much copies the originals. She breaks out more in the next two appearances singing "Bang Bang" and "Summertime". It has been better and better ever since!
Hi Alex, thank's a billion fot this reaction to Angelina Jordan! Unfortionately you found this version first... From "I'm a fool to want you" which in Norske Talenter AJ sings a capella there is a shorter version because there are 54 seconds cut out. And these 54 seconds are so good - even with speaking in - but the good thing of this version is, that you can't hear that there is something missing: AJ hit exactly the notes even after nearly a minute... Judges' Cut-Off with all of AJ's singing: "I’m a fool to want you": th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html The version, where at 1:13 is the cut where 54 (or 43) sec. are missing and you don't hear it...: th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html ;-) And for to review her development you should AFTER reacting to her version on Norske Talenter react to her studio recording footage at 11/12(?) yo: th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html If I say that this is fantastic it would be underestimate her talent, her musical and vocal abilities… CU in your next AJ reaction - stay safe Andreas 😎
To FaceTime, Bohemian Rhapsody in her own style I got 75 million views much for that Murphy got talent. The champions Angelina Jordan performing Bohemian Rhapsody.
He’s a prodigy, mixer, special we will above Washington inspector app or do you have a musical mine a perfect here in a large learners she was born the Wi-Fi that’s why he could be serving sound. Also, she studied and plastic some studies and listen to practice for ours up on him.
No words were necessary. Your face said it all. Thank you.

Over the years, she will become a legend for the great moments in the world. She has plenty of time. Remember she is just 17 years old today, which we forget when we see her perform. Republic Records who should also be praised for appreciating this unique talent.

Subscribed for Angelina.
An excellent reaction. Thank you.
Loved your reaction to this song.
Alex, YES, she is a gift of God, but she also seems to be a workaholic, (I said seems) practicing 36 hours weekly since around age 3!!!!!
She wanted to partake NGT much earlier, at 5, but she was not allowed.
Beside practicing, singing at charity and fundraise, the Nobel Peace Prize, she helped a bit with her little sister, she even took her lil sis later ona rehearsal with a school orchestra. Angelina kneeled beside Juliette, so she was at eye level with her six year younger sister. She sewed her stage clothes after designing them with grandma Mery. I bet she can cook too.
Today the sisters are very close, and a lot of us think, that Juliette might take over management from uncle Michael, when Juliette finished school in 5 to 7 years. She already helps uncle out.
Be safe, be healthy and all that stuff.
Elmar from Germany
Her Mama said that at that moment she knew that she had helped Angelina fulfill her dream of singing for the world. Every time I see Mama cry I cry too. So beautiful!
According to comments I've seen, if you play the original recording in the background, Angelina has perfect pitch and is in perfect time..
There is a magical quality about her, that affects your heart and soul. A special human being.
Glad to hear you want the whole experience, we will be here for it!
As her japanese grandfather told her, she stays true. Her new songs she releases now are some kind of a poppy jazz. Thank the Lord, real good music is back!!!!!
Ostensibly, here, on this audition, is when she won it... aged 7 yrs.

nice reaction...
Oh boy, are you in for a ride and so many of us Angels will be going along with you because we can watch her over and over and never tire! The second performance was an elimination round, no bells or whistles and no audience to distract the participants or judges. The semi final comes next in which she sings “Bang, bang” originally by Cher then later by Nancy Sinatra. The final she sings “Summertime “. We were all astounded by her talent in the first two rounds, only to be flabbergasted by the improvement she made in just a few months. Looking forward to it!
Yes I agree. Your face said it all. I have now watched both your reactions to Angelina and have subscribed.
You can tell when a reactor stops being a reactor and becomes a fan and then an Angel. The impact of Angelina is like no other. Some instantly feel it while others take a bit. Either way, it's a great thing!
If you listen to Billie Holliday sing this , then turn around and listen to Angelina with eyes closed its uncanny good
😀😀😀😀😀
As amazing as these songs were, you can see her get better with every performance. When Angelina was about 10, I no longer thought of her as a child singer. Her voice was so strong and fully formed.

And each one will blow you away.
She is amazing... so good at such a young age it would be hard to believe if you hadn't seen it. Apart from anything the preternatural calm she always has when performing is something to see.. wait until you see her performing What a Difference a Day Makes at 8 in the middle of a large crowd, entering her own special world and so amazingly poised and fearless she transmits calm to those watching ... Her voice does change with age but she just gets better and better.... absolutely not one of those prodigies that others catch up with and become less special: she has an album coming out very soon and we know one of the songs and have heard a "teaser" of another and they are great... she stays true to her (long) jazz roots because has developed a contemporary jazzy-pop sound which is fantastic !
That’s the barefoot princess, you got to see her performance if I put a spell on you by screaming jay Hawkins, 1956 version. And also to let you know she does her own arrangements even at that age. She is absolutely a musical genius. Barefoot princess is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven.
He has seen that I put a spell on you.
It's a good idea to make the path 👍
If you haven’t seen the rehearsal for Quincy Jones 85th Birthday Concert where she sing Fly Me to the Moon, you need to see it. She is 12. Sings Frank Sinatra’s arrangement better than Sinatra. Jones did the arrangement for Sinatra and the Count Basie Band. Another favorite of mine is when she is 11 and sings Lovin’ You.
Yeah it was the mum Sarah Astar with the blond hair. She's only 39 years old. Many think Mery Zamani is her mum, but she's her grandmother. You see her in Angelina's new single "Love don't let me go". 😉
You are in for the time of your life... lol 😆
The sliding vocal, no strict meter this can only be done if you have perfect pitch.
Thanks
Our angel Angelina is simply the best...
we've all heard about people that are so loved that they are called National Treasures...
what do you call someone like Angelina who loved world-wide?
International Treasure
A world wonder
Angelina was named National Treasure in Norway, after her win in NGT. The award was established by the Norwegian royal house and representatives from the government and the Norwegian people!
@@peterjohansson587 why am I not surprised? Thanks
8th wonder of the world
Your life just changed. Watching this prodigy grow right in front of you is kind of unprecedented by way of normalized social media. She has over 200 videos and each is a facet that builds her amazing story. We listen to her every day for over four years and it never grows old and remains astonishing. Her voice is a balm especially in tough times. Enjoy your journey 😊
I am not an Angelina Jordan fan,, but as many of those who are have said, her studio performance of "I put a spell on you," when she was 9, is really amazing and as far as I know, it is her best.
This performance is lovely of course - as was her AGT cover of Bohemian Rhapsody - but "I put a spell on you" shows a different side to her that would I think astonish you.
Absolutly best and fair Comment i ever read since i know A.J.A.
This is actually an edited version of the performance. Not sure why this shortened version was created. If you come across the full version it’s even more impressive how she stays in perfect pitch and timing all the way through.
Fully agree!
first time that i have seen all the judges absolutely speechless. They were mesmerised as were we all.
Gloomy Sunday, her audition piece, was performed when she was 7. For the next 3 performances she was 8. When she said on AGT that she won NGT at 7, that was scripted to compensate for the difference between performance dates (2019) and broadcast dates (2020). Her last performance on NGT, when she won, was aired live on May 23/2014. Her birthday is Jan 10/2006.
They did not have golden buzzers. The a cappella audition was part of an elimination round. Many of those standing behind her did not make the cut. I did stay, and my heart is happy that you hear and understand the greatness there. Thank you for taking the extra time. Grandma Ellen, smiling.
I totally agree. By the way: I really appreciate all your posts Ellen. You have a friendly and warm way of writing that I appreciate. All of us "angels" wish Angelina all the happiness on earth, and you show that Ellen through your choice of words etc. / A Swedish, reasonably tough, viking.
@@peterjohansson587 Thank you, Swedish Viking.
You see now, where her singing style and main influence is coming from. One of AW's role models too. Billie Holiday... And " I'm a fool to want you" is still one of my favourites. The reactor Kaleidoscope RMX put this on the backtrack of Billie Holiday: pitch perfect...
When I review these performances, the adjectives such as incredible, crazy, monstrous, etc. etc. I always find them reductive, unfortunately, there are no adjectives to explain this prodigy, incredible 7-year-old children and singers exist but, my God, Angelina is really of a other planet. Perfect reaction, thank you good life and music..from Italy..Massimo
there is one: "ineffable"
@@geoffreynorth9046 it's still simplistic.. maybe that of Mary Poppins.. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious😊
If you want to cover them all you better hurry up. It's 200+ YT performances so far. And it'll probably at least 15 more this year from her EP and album alone 😁
Yeah..more history-making Angelina performances (she does it all the time)!! There are two more NGT tracks from Angelina (Cher's "Bang-Bang" and Gershwin's "Summertime"). Then ~160+ more after that !!! Enjoy the ride!!
Wonderful reaction. I discovered AJ 3 years ago and I watched reactions everyday since. For me it was not a question of talent and knowledge, it was a miracle and I like to see people having the same emotions than I the first time listening to her. You are starting a fantastic journey because you still have many incredible songs to discover.
If you compare this to Billie Holiday's original of Gloomy Sunday, you will come
away believing Billie sang both renditions. This is when all the talk about Billie
being reincarnated into a 7 year old girl from Norway. Angelina is a natural 'vocal
chameleon' who is able to emulate the vocals of numerous artists, which you will
come to realize when you've explored her catalog of songs.
Absolutely wonderful performance, most people are born crying Angelina came out singing she has Jazz flowing through her veins, checkout Angelina’s winning performance on the same show, her performances is the classic song ( SUMMERTIME) great reaction thanks 🙏
Great reaction Alex, most reactors have never heard the song or even heard of Billie Holiday, so knowing both, you bring a lot to the table. I also I love when reactors are so impressed with a song they have to hear another one. It's going to be hard to follow her chronologically this late in the game. She has 100's of videos & now that she has graduated HS she is starting her career on a full-time basis. She just released a new original last month, Love Don't Let Me Go & any day she will release her debut EP with Republic Records called "Old Enough," with 5 new original songs. Then in the fall, she promised a full album of originals followed by a Global Concert Tour. It will be hard to ignore her exploding popularity while you are still listening to 8 or 9 yo Angelina. You might have to jump around between chronologically following her & listening to her new music as she releases it. However you do it, I can say that musically, it's "life changing." Liked & subscribed for your Angelina journey, however you do it.
Thank you for your great reaction.
Angelina didn’t want to sing kids songs. At this time she sang a lot of jazz as she was introduced to it by her grandmother at a very young age. One of her biggest early influences was Billie Holiday.
Yeah... haha... That reminded me of her pre-school self refusing to sing at school! 😆
@@PoussinNoNeko 😮 14:44
Hahaha, yup. You watch that on the wrong day and you are toast man. Musicality in a tiny kid blows my mind. Maturity. Wild. I'd accept her rather cool voice, or decent singing at that age well before that stuff.
Great reaction!You will be blown away with all Angelinas' performances. Consider that english is not her first language.!
You are going about this in the best way IMO, Alex....starting at her beginning and then following her progression. It's hard to believe but you will be amazed, and surprised, every step of the way. She just keeps getting better and better. Yes, she is always very calm and poised when performing. Interviewers have tried to get her to say she is nervous before big events, but she always says - no, I'm excited to perform. The bigger the event and the larger the audience is when she is at her best. You have an exciting and rewarding journey ahead of you and it will be fun to watch.
Wonderful reactions. Thanks. I've been following her every day for 3.5 years and watching you makes me nostalgic for those early days. I'm looking forward to her third and fourth performance reactions at NGT from you.
she sounded so much like billie holiday
Great reaction you get angelina straight away she only gets better creep up in age because she's 17yrs old now 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
This was the start of my journey with ANGELINA; incomparable!
Great reaction and two in a row is not a problem, she has so many fascinating covers in different genres and one cannot grow tired of listening to her.
Angelina is an . . . . . . . .A N G E L 💫💫💫💫💫
Greatest talent on the planet. Enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you
Angelina was a diamond in the rough at 7 yrs old went her performances of "Gloomy Sunday" on "Norway Got Talent" went viral worldwide.
Да! Она классная, её исполнение лечит душу!
Жаль,что в России мало её знают.
Спасибо за реакцию.
У нашего народа как сказал исскуствовед Дмитрий З.... ухо испорчено низкопробным примитивом творящем в шоу бизнесе, поэтому если они иногда и слушают то не понимают что такое настоящее исскуство
@@mikeyrocks6298
Да! У Дианы тоже необыкновенный голос.
Someone put a backtrack to her a capella singing of “I’m a Fool to Want You”, and it matched up perfectly. Just unbelievable!
She will be known… word of mouth is powerful.
Time for another new artist that is a God Gift of voice " Gabriel Henrique " he sings covers and songs of his native language Portuguese. He is from Brazil. English he is learning. Ohhh Mann he is so good.
Now she is just 17! And a lot originals
Subscribed. Wonderful to see a reactor as genuinely blown away as many of her fans have been. I only found her in February of this year and so a 'young' angel compared to others ... but I love re-living my journey with someone discovering her for the first time, as many other angels have said previously also. Looking forward to your future reactions / journey with Angelina!
About 2 years later at Christmas when Omer Bhatti ,the young judge, was visiting the jackson's he introduced Michael's mother to AJ's singing.
Stand up( cover) by Gabriel Henrique. A MUST LiSTEN !!
I'm so pleased to see you discover this extraordinary talent. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Angelina had already been singing for 5 years before the Gloomy Sunday audition but this was her first exposure to the general public. She was listening to Billie Holiday and other jazz greats at an age when you and I were barely speaking in proper sentences. The a cappella song was in the elimination round with no audience present. But just you wait till you see her two live performances! She really comes into her own and, by the way, arranged the performances herself. Do make sure you get subtitles and watch the judges' reactions - they are priceless!
It's hard to stop the tears when the heart is struck by lightning.
Great reaction thank you 😃 wild bill
She is the Precision Princess.
You have to listen to Bang Bang and after to Feeling Good😂and What a difference a day makes
Flummoxed again? Yea, normal.
Oh my friend I’ve been studying her and listen to her and she won and a half. I got 400 or some of my private files. I reviewed many songs she’s done and she’s just she’s 17 now and she’s a republic records and age of 14 she just Taylor loosen a new song called love don’t let me go. It’s an album of the first cut is left on amigo by Angelina Jordan. It’s already out it’s been doing really well over 1 million views now and she is on her way to become a superstar.
Now news is Angelina Jordan Astar. I just got her walk of fame star on Hollywood Boulevard.
There are 4 performances total for (NGT) Bang Bang is #3 Summertime is #4 and the winning video make sure to watch ALL of them!!!
Hey Alex she was in the studio at age 6 singing I Who Have Nothing.
NWGT got talent TV & podcast
They called her national treasure,
Alex yours is the type of re action I search for daily..yiu really understand the enormity of what you’re witnessing…greatness in the making..aren’t we lucky?😁🙏
In these first two appearances Angelina pretty much copies the originals. She breaks out more in the next two appearances singing "Bang Bang" and "Summertime". It has been better and better ever since!
Hi Alex,
thank's a billion fot this reaction to Angelina Jordan!
Unfortionately you found this version first...
From "I'm a fool to want you" which in Norske Talenter AJ sings a capella there is a shorter version because there are 54 seconds cut out. And these 54 seconds are so good - even with speaking in - but the good thing of this version is, that you can't hear that there is something missing: AJ hit exactly the notes even after nearly a minute...
Judges' Cut-Off with all of AJ's singing: "I’m a fool to want you": th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
The version, where at 1:13 is the cut where 54 (or 43) sec. are missing and you don't hear it...: th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html ;-)
And for to review her development you should AFTER reacting to her version on Norske Talenter react to her studio recording footage at 11/12(?) yo: th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
If I say that this is fantastic it would be underestimate her talent, her musical and vocal abilities…
CU in your next AJ reaction - stay safe
Andreas
😎
Here we have a 7 yo Barefoot Princess, and now, at 17 yo she graduated into the Barefoot Goddess.
Where I live she would be in the second or third grade. She's amazing!!!
To FaceTime, Bohemian Rhapsody in her own style I got 75 million views much for that Murphy got talent. The champions Angelina Jordan performing Bohemian Rhapsody.
Love to see people discover this special talent. New subscriber here! Great work!
