She’s from another world
She’s the best
Impressive here as she always is. But the black and white studio version is actually truly astonishing.
Yep.
She's about 7 in that one!
Y su interpretación es una obra maestra. Una obra de arte

Once you have checked into the Angelina story there is no turning back. She is more than a prodigy she is, IMO, the most gifted female vocalist on the planet today irrespective of age. There are more than 100 tracks for you to react to. All of us have our personal favorites but you will never be disappointed with any of them. Great reaction, welcome to Angelina"s world. Keep those reactions coming you have a long but magical road ahead of you.
The black and white version was done when she had JUST turned 9.
The more you explore Angelina music the more you'll discover that she is an artist of many voices. She explores various genres including country, classic rock and roll, pop, avant garde symphonic, and (of course) classic jazz. No matter how much you may want to, Angelina cannot be pigeon-holed or categorized. She just turned 14 and there's still unchartered territory for her to maneuver her gift that she was born with.
welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole :) She's amazing for any age.
You need to see her at age 9 on the black and white version of this song. It's mind blowing!!
I actually prefer this version, it's more refined, but both of them are amazing. I find that she really digs deep when she's in front of a live audience.
Lee C i agree. The studio version is clearly amazing but it was not done in one take. This live version is about as close as you will get to that 9 year old version. Ken there are many recordings of this song in TH-cam. As she gets older she takes out the growl and stylizes the song more jazzy.
@@leechap3 I've noticed that too. She usually steps it up a number of notches when she is performing live. I noticed it with videos of her rehearsals for AGTTC, and other rehearsals.
Yes, I think she is better and more expressive with the song at 9 and more interestingly, to check out the Screaming Jay Hawkins original version to which she is paying homage. I have to watch it every day. It might be one of the top jazz performances of all time.
We call her the girl with a thousand voices. A Vocal Goddess. The list goes on and and on.
Quoting William Congreve “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”.
Thank you for reacting to this 50 years old woman who was jilted by her lover who is leaving her and she is not having any of that at all. She decides to put a spell on him and......... wait, wait, wait, that is not a 50 years old woman. That is Angelina Jordan doing her thing again and owning another song.
Brilliant performance. Here is a link to her studio version at 9 years old. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html truly a masterpiece at any age.
Thank you for your reaction and keep up the good work.
You cannot get a grasp on the vastness of her abilities by this one song alone, or even a couple. She has such a wide range of vocals and genres that it literally requires about 80 songs to begin to get an idea of who and what this prodigy really is. There is a short clip of her singing at 18 months old, in which she takes a microphone, and expertly holds it up to her mouth, and sings, in tune, and in time, and in English (her first language is Norwegian) with Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You', just a single line, and then spreads her arms out, and almost gives us a 'mic drop' moment as if to say 'you ain't seen nothing yet'. And that's where it all began. Jazz roots, but there is no genre that is beyond her. I've heard vocal coaches, such as yourself, say they learn from her every time they listen to her. So, if you're really hooked, and I have no doubt of that, then hang on, because you're in for a ride.
If you decide to take the trip down Angelina Lane, be prepared to be amazed, constantly, time and time again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime singer we're getting to watch develop
.
She can make any cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time
You may be interested to know that Angelina has just signed with Republic Records as their number one priority new artist! She had previous turned down dozens of the biggest people in the industry. This is a huge landmark and we all knew it was coming eventually. This label also has Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Ariana grande, Jonas Brothers and more. We hear that she is signing on her own terms hopefully meaning a good deal of freedom.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note,& every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, died, the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
Watch her at 7 singing gloomy Sunday Billie Holiday.
I see the picture of Frank Sinatra on your wall, did you know he studied Billy Holiday, and that's how he perfected his Phrasing and he also studied and idolized all those great blues and jazz singers and bands (Count Basie) who played in the villiage in NY in the 30s and was friends with many of them. When I saw that, I now see the correlation with Angelina and her love of the same artist. And also, when Frank got a new piece of music, he studied it for hours like it was poetry, every word and how it fit into the whole piece. I believe Angela does this, and you can tell by her covers.
She was born like that. She's not gifted, SHE is the gift.
yes, she is the "gift", I like your two simple sentences which say it all.
You must see this song in black and white at 9 years old
I agree that performance is mind blowing
Maybe you shouldn't...is too much!
yes, that version is longer, and I like it better because there is no audience
she has put a spell on us all
Ken - Thank you for your outstanding reaction to this Angelina Jordan performance. It is obvious that you are a true professional who understands the technical and artistic aspects of vocal music. After 40+ years as a music educator and jazz musician, I would say to all young singers out there: Don’t try to sing like Angelina until you know how to do it, especially when she belts out in the high register. Take voice lessons and learn everything you can about vocal technique and artistic styling. If you try to do what she does before you know what you are doing, you could severely damage your voice and may never be able to sing again. Angelina has a gift that very few people in history have ever had. All of her physical vocal abilities and sense of musical style came with her at birth and because her family played music all the time as she was growing up. She is a force of nature. You young singers can aspire to sing like her, but don’t push it. We would like to see and hear you on TH-cam someday!
Excellent advice, and greatly needed for kids listening to so many talent shows, hearing Courtney Hadwin, etc, who goes all in on the vocal fireworks. Angelina has had voice lessons from an early age, perhaps 5. Attended a formal after school program at something like a performing arts school. Even with her natural talent she couldn't have a voice like this without putting in the work.
Ken, in my very educated knowledge of Angelina, she is the finest female vocal to live since she was 10. She was a consummate professional at 10. She has her own band, a couple of excellent guitarists. She has arranged her covers and her own music since she was 8. Enjoy everything you are about to hear and learn about this gift. She and Space X are the two things this year that are the best! Engish is her second language of 3. She plays 4 different instuments.
Thanks for the your second wonderful reaction to this incredible performance, Ken. Angelina in this song is amazing, I'm sorry for the destabilizing effect ... but this is Angelina 🤗 😜
The reaction to this song by Angelina, is a kind of investiture, is the watershed between simple listeners and fans of that girl. This was thought by Angelina as a tribute to Screamin'Jay Hawkins, the original writer and singer of 1956. Certainly not many adults know him, certainly the only little girl of 9 years in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is Angelina.❤️ ❤️ And it's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song 😊
But the video in the black and white version and recorded at 9 old years is absolutely exceptional, even more extreme, you must feel it absolutely 😂
This is a small part of the about 130 of her interpretations, including covers, songs written for her and her originals written between 11 and 12 years old, if they seem enough!

You've now heard a couple of her voices, only a few hundred to go.
😂
Originally, Angelina got her inspiration for this song from Screamin Jay Hawkins 1956 version. The black & white version other commenters reference in here, shows her singing this, at 9 years of age, with much more growl and attitude, giving homage to Hawkins, the original composer/performer.
I happen to think Hawkins' in mild in comparison to Angelina's.
Now at 16 she is leaving all others behind and below as she soars to the top of the music kingdom.
Her soon to be released album will be magnificent.
You can copy and paste from this: I can't believe she is: 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14
Haha, you are funny 😂
So true!
So true, Tom. Her voice, musicality _and empathy_ keeps outshining her age at any point.
In a way one could replace that phrase with: _"I can't believe she's human",_ but she is (I think).
Yes the black and white version of this song at an earlier age was absolutely mind blowing. It was with a live band in a studio recording.
She is 10
I don't know if you saw her rendition of this song a year earlier for when she had just turned 9, but you should at the very least watch that one too. This one is the more obscure rendition, she also does one that is "Live" from South Korea that is pretty spectacular. I can't say one is better that the other, but they all show a growth so they are all worth watching. I think the version everybody wanted you to see was the black and white version when she had just turned 9. It is a different take, it's like this one but on steroids. The easiet way to find it is type in 'her name and put a spell on you' and pick the black and white picture. Well a great reaction, am waiting for more.
See her on Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7 - even more surprising. There's a black and white video of "I Put A Spell On You" from when she was 9, and it was influenced by the vocal stylings of the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. See the TH-cam video of him singing it on the Arsenio Hall Show.
Angelina has recently dropped her first official record of her original song with Republic Records which is one of the recordings on her upcoming EP which will be out in June and all tracks will be originals. The one which she has just dropped is "Love Don't Let Me Go" it is absolutely amazing. You are missing out if you don't listen to it. Enjoy your reactions. Blessings from a 76 year old who really loves Angelina. Blessings to you from South Africa.
Yep, sit back and enjoy the ride!
Honestly, I find it simply amazing that someone as brilliant musically as yourself hasn't tried to find the B&W version of this song. She is a prodigy. That version was recorded when she was nine. It far surpasses this tamer-for-TV version. It was the first true Masterpiece of her collection.
It is a must see, these growls are cub sized next to the lion roars in that one. This is taken from that.
I would review that even before you react to 7th Heaven which is #22 of newly dropped singles in the Us as of this minute. I expect it to rise.
The more you hear the more she changes to genre and mood. She’s better than you’ve imagined.
Well, you’ll hear this many, many times-you listened to the wrong performance, but Angelina has got the goods. The different voice you heard here from the Bohemian Rhapsody voice is something you need to get used to. Angelina changes the character, style, timbre, and tone of her voice to complement the song and genre of music. She was raised on jazz, and she has a special affinity for the vocal freedom of that type of music, but you will also listen to her absolutely kill vocals with just a simple acoustic accompaniment.
It’s hard to recommend what you should listen to next because Angelina will wow you with her ability in so many types of music. But I think you should see and hear something completely different (again) from your first two. Try Stay (a Rihanna cover) or A Million Years Ago (an Adele cover) to hear two of acoustic Angelina’s real strengths: her beautiful, deep, resonant voice and her ability to interpret lyrics better than the original singers-and actually better than anyone I’ve ever heard. She doesn’t perform-she lives the lyrics.
You probably don’t want to do a public review (but I wish you did) of the FAMOUS version of I Put a Spell on You that Angelina did when she was nine, but here’s the link. You need to see it. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
Watch the studio version John Linked above ;)
Firstly, I think you are one of the best cover reactors because you know what you are talking about, discovering many voice details, but if you want to be blown away by fearless vocals you should react to what is suggested by johnvasi. Angelina is a musical & voice genius.
This 👆
Yes she's a prodigy. Not only does she have a remarkable voice for her age, she has an ear for subtle jazz elements like the way she'll start a note pure and finish with the most delicate vibrato. I agree on hearing some Amy Winehouse there, as well as Nora Jones, Billie Holliday, even once in a rare while some Ella Fitzgerald. But honestly despite the evidence of these jazz influences, she genuinely has her own style, which is remarkable in someone so young and makes me tremendously excited for what she may achieve in the decades to come.
Angelina Jordan is the wonderful greatest special, unique ,beautiful god's gifted entertainer that has a very rare talent. Check out her or shall I say her mind blowing covers that would leave you speechless , and the question is HOW ? She 'll be the new and the first QUEEN OF MUSIC .you've seen the best of the best now you are looking at the most very best of the best and from all the rest and the rest is going to be HERSTORY history. BAM !!! that's what I'm talking about .
Not just the voice of a generation... a voice of a lifetime.
🔥✌🙂💯💕👏👏👏
A real reaction to a vocal prodigy that began demonstrating her singing brain development along with speech as a toddler. Young Mozart was composing and performing piano pieces at 5? Good to see a different version of “spell” from the black and white clip that fans of reaction are used to. As theCharismatic Voice predicted, Angelina sings this song differently every time. This version is guaranteed live, one take and minimal voice processing.
Well, you've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most versatile, effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured in artists, genres, or decades). Your excellent and appropriate reaction to this performance is appreciated but realize AJ is holding back on the throttle here compared to the B&W version (which she performed earlier at age 9). Keep your comment about her "different voice used here" dusted off as you will need it again as that is just what she does over and over seemingly without limit. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Enjoy the ride!
As I understand I, the black and white version she recorded when she was 9 yrs old is the only one she did when her growl was as pronounced as it is because they told her not to sing it like that because it could damage her vocal cords. So all the other times she has sang this song, it’s been softened down a bit. We therefore are lucky that the one time she sang it that way was actually filmed for posterity and can be enjoyed for future generations.
You can't figure it out. She will amaze and baffle you at the same time once you get to see her full range of ability. You have just barely scratched the surface of what she can do. If there is anything that is possible to do with your voice while singing, Angelina can do it and she can do it very well. She vocalizes the song in whatever tone, tenor she feels the song needs.
This is a good version but as folks have noted, and given you the link, her b/w studio version is even more impressive for a 9 year old. She has learned by here to limit the intensity of her growls, etc. Even if you don't react, you should watch it. There are other links below as well. Summertime, Bang,Bang, Feelin Good, Always on My Mind, Its a Man's World, haha, I can't stop. The fun doesn't stop. Stay on this Angelina journey, everybody's favorite rabbit hole, and you will better understand what she can do. You have heard two "voices" of Angelina-- many more to go! Her ability to put more emotion into emotional songs is spectacular. She out- Adeles Adele. Try A Million Years Ago. All her covers become hers. This is both fun and amazing! She was great for Norway's Got Talent, greater for Bohemian Rhapsody and others, greatest is on the horizon (of course, that's a taste thing, but of all the other singers that reactors are doing-- Dimash, Diana, Daneliya, Grace, Aurora, Courtney..etc. etc. The one whose concert I want to go to, whose music I will buy, is Angelina Jordan. Enjoy!
Since you've mentioned Shirley Bassey ...We, her adoring fans, for the past few years now have said she should do the next James Bond theme.. Can you imagine that?...I mean, it would be the greatest Bond's theme EVER .. Great reaction my friend..Cheers.
She is insane. Her vocal influences span such a broad spectrum by this point in her songcraft that it’s difficult to fathom just what the heck is GOING ON. And singing to a track is hard as the band can’t bend the music to her.
Amazing every time. And the genius is even more apparent when you see her directing style in the studio version sheesh how even is it possible. Still blows my mind.
I see Sinatra on your wall, you might want to hear Angelina’s version of “ Fly me to the moon “ Great reactions👏👍❤️
fly me to tyr moon
I agree
Fly me to her moon.
This performance is mild compared to her version performed a year earlier...thanks for your reaction!
Philip Knopp, you’re right, the black & white version is awesome !
Yes, but she's more polished and on point in this version
@@jasonknotts5001 raw is more fun..😂✊
I don’t know what it is about her voice. Just about any song she sings makes me cry a good cry. Not many things in life does me . My heart is somehow in line with tone of her voice. The sound of her voice is so soothing and hypnotic that my mind goes to places in my past. Some memories are sorrowful and painful and just by listening to her angelic voice some how makes everything better and replaces them with joy and happiness. Voices like this only come once in a life time. God Bless You Angelina Jordan! Thank you for precious gift you have given the world with your songs.
Wow. No way. You're correct, it simply does not compute! But there it is in video! And she has a ton more! Another brilliant young singer bursting onto the public scene thanks to the Internet!
I like your second reaction to our princess of singing. Many Angelina fans always recommend the black and white studio version of this song, but I have to say she did a phenomenal live performances here and in Soul also. I love her live appearances as much as I love the studio version. Many singers and stars can't sing live well, but better not to say names here. This is not the case with Angelina. She has great recording videos and phenomenal live performances. This girl is the best. And let me great the trolls here. Thank you for helping Angelina and the reactor. Byeeeeeee! 🤣😅😂😆🖐🖐🖐
She covers Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey, Adele and many others.
And she does that covers much much better.
I really love when competent people try to compute Angelina, because the math doesn't add up. Awesome reaction, and with regards to this being a totally different voice from the AGT performance, that will happen each time you pick up a new video. I believe that's her most unique quality.
You need to see the black & white version when she had just turned 9. Her voice is versatile and she adapts it to the song creatively, putting her own stamp on it.
I agree!
Thank you for reacting to Angelina again. I`m quite happy that you chose this version. I agree thoug with those telling you to view even her studio version of the song, as that one is far beyond incredible and stunning. This live one is totaly impressive though and showing her ability to even manage her version of the song live. The musical track in the video is from her studio version I think. I would also strongly request for you to listen to Angelina`s performances from the "Norvegian Talents" show from 2014, as Angelina was 7 and 8 years old. They are stunning, all 4 of them. Her originals "What is life", "Oslo" and "Shield" are great great songs.
So, to get the full picture of what Angelina is all about, I think you should watch examples of her incredible playbook from 6 years old until her AGT performance, as you have already seen.
I would love to follow you and learn from your great comments to Angelina`s career so far.
She did the arrangement for this when she was 9...checkout her black n white video of this even more amazing. And her version of summertime...also she has been writing her own songs one to checkout is "shield". Love from Ireland 💚
Is there a better version out there?
Obviously a matter of opinion, but most of the Angels would have wanted to rewind you when you had that subscription Deja-vu moment and steer you towards the B&W version (it kind of has a few more views...)
That one will forever stand as an YT-Legend.
And as you've now bitten onto the AJA hook of musical magic, you'll just need to go with the flow and let yourself become Angelinafied.
It's difficult to believe, but this precious little 14 years young creature has already well over 100 covers & own songs recorded and available on the tube.
Every single one of them is from that Angelina shelf, you know the one well above the top shelf - right where the wall meets the ceiling.
Enjoy your ride!
I liked this. Fun to read 👍😊
TY for a nice reaction to the gifted Angelina Jordan!
It is not a stretch to say that Angelina is beyond understanding. But you are welcome to try, and I have subscribed hoping you will take that journey. I have listened to her sing, almost every day, for six years now. Fascination became incredulity, which morphed into wonder, which yielded to disbelief. This girl is no joke, and you nailed it when you said "it's a completely different voice." And you will say it again when you experience her next.
Please react to her audition for Norway's got talent with Gloomy sunday when she was 7 years old. There is a version with english sub titles so you can understand what they say.
You’ve only scratched the surface. The 9 y.o. Version of her doing this is mind blowing as well. Her version of Rihanna’s Stay is - in my opinion ,better than the original. She has multiple Adele covers that are excellent as well. She even does a couple of Whitney Houston numbers - check out her version of I Have Nothing. I believe you are absolutely correct - she is a prodigy. I also concur with some of the other recommendations for you to listen to- it’s a mans world. She has over 120 cover tunes and I believe 3 originals out there.
Listen 2 her when she was 7 for Norway’s Got Talent. Try. BANG BANG. SUMMERTIME. GLOOMY SU DAY
insane for 7 yrs old. Truly worth watching
The bw-version is more extreme, but I am really glad you reacted to this one. All others chose the studio version, so it was about time someone found this wonderful live version, and reacted to it. I am glad it came from you, Ken. This version is so underestimated, its incredibly good. I hope your next Angelina reaction will be "Its a mans world", Forsvaret band. It will blow your socks off. Well done, Ken 👍😊
@Sarlina A Agree with you, great live version, great reaction. Is it this link you referred too? (I'ts a mans world) th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html
Reiterating comments below: her black and white studio performance is even more stunning, and she's even younger!
She’s so much better than Amy Winehouse! She can outdo Adele on some of her song’s, I found her before she went on AGT and can’t get enough of her singing! Good reaction!
Great review, Ken!
Angela is a dynomite ball of shock and awe, without gimmicks or theatrics. Just focused, exquisitely controlled raw talent.
My suggestion for your next AJ reaction? Just pick one and do it, I love them all.
Dude, try listening to her renditions of "it's a man's world" and "feeling good."
Right on, two of my favorite performances of hers, again with a backup orchestra and in front of a live audience she seems to take it to another level for the audience. .
The one with Stabmusikkorps, if possible. They're good.
Spot on. U can tell why she are the winner of Norway got talent.
I think that my favorite has to be Bang Bang!
yes, they are enormously mind blowing, it is really hard to contain oneself, especially it's a man's world, everyone's reaction is pretty much, "I am speechless", words just don't seem to describe what one feels and thinks about this extraordinary young girl, she was born in 2006 and that makes her 14 (2020) now
I am surprised you found this version as most point to the black & white version done after she had just turned nine probably rehearsed at eight. The song Angelina bases her version on is Jay Hawkins 1956 performance. She rearranged the lyrics and music at eight years old. It’s a much more stylized rendition. You should watch both to see what you are dealing with. Encapsulated history. She was introduced to Jazz by her Grandmother as an infant. You can see her singing Whitney Houston at 18 months. She is scrolling through TH-cam at two & three looking for Jazz artists. At three she tells her Mother she wants to sing for Simon Cowell. At four you see her in vintage record shop looking for Jazz records and playing piano. Going on five you see her leading interviewer through her home showing her toys and clothes speaking English. She stops picks up plastic toy guitar and states guitar not good and starts singing Rolling In The Deep. At six see her in sound booth singing Tom Jones “ I Who Have Nothing “ reading lyrics in English. She is now speaking Norwegian, Persian, and English. At seven she auditions for Norway’s Got Talent singing Billie Holidays “Gloomy Sunday “. She then sings three more song’s and wins the show singing “Summertime “. During this time her abilities expand exponentially. She is by now in school and after school is taking voice and singing lessons. Playing the piano, violin, flute. None of this is forced by family she is pressuring them for more. At six she told her Mother she she wanted to sing at the Noble Peace Prize Concert and travels to the Middle East with her Grandmother. You will find the story in the comments. At eight she sang at the Noble Peace Prize Concert along with Aurora. She embarks on charity tour around the world singing in Korea for forty thousand people. Sings in Japanese in Japan. Brazil, United States and Europe. She helps raise over 21 million euros for children charities. At nine she writes a book about encounter with young girl on Middle East trip titled “ Between Two Harts “becoming youngest published author in Norwegian history. There is much more. Dig deeper you will be rewarded.
Is the books title "Heart to Heart?"
This young lady is simply amazing, it seems nothing she set out to do ends in failure, instead she put her mark on whatever she's done. I was completely convinced when she covered a few of Elvis Presley's songs and I think a couple of Patsy Cline's songs. Keep in mind the two previously mentioned artists were at the top of the music field in the United States and around the world. Both of the names are easily recognized even decades after their passing. Yet this young woman is grounded, still going to school, trying to enjoy her childhood and youth as she should be. Yet she can have an entire stadium full of people at her fingertips in a second's notice. To hear even at age 8 she rearranged music is incredible. In fact the beginning of the black and white I Put A Spell On You she hands the band leader her arrangement of the song, the band leader promptly directs the band in the new arrangement! Any other 8 year old would not yet be mastering the voice much less any instrument or an entire band! I feel enriched having been exposed to her singing and I am 63 and have heard some really good music and artists including Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline. Please do not take my word for it, listen to Angelina, you will be so glad you did!!!
Do You have links for when she sings in Korea and/or Japan?
Wyrmhand
You can find both on the web. Just type in “ Angelina Jordan Japan “ and then Korea. She also sang in Brazil and another country in the Middle East.
my god, that is truly astonishing, not only does her voice take ones breath away, but all her accomplishments, thus far, thankyou for all the information, I have only known about her for 3 days, I stumbled upon her when I was looking for some specific information about Billie Holiday, and there she was.

Kevin, thank you for this reaction....I saw her perform this song in a studio setting and was amazed but appreciate seeing another rendition. Angelina is pretty special. Stay safe...
Please! More reactions of Angelina!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
...too late!...
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistence is futil...
(ok - exactly from the moment on you reacted to her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody ;-) )
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan - I'm sure I will ;-)
All the other things like recomendations, playlists, her web site and so on you can read in the comments of the megafans like Fernando F., Rusty ...
Thanks a billion for your honest and emotional reaction! ...and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D
Only a little Question:
When (NOT IF ;-) ) you react to her cover "I put a spell on you - b/w-version" (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks for this! I'm a big Angelina fan and hadn't seen this performance of hers of this song. Even better than the B&W studio version. Please continue down the AJ road. You won't regret it!
She's freaking INCREDIBLE ❣ JUST AN UNBELIEVABLE VOICE!!!!!!
If you cant compute now, just keep delving into her, you ain’t seen nothing yet.........
We the fans have had the same experience as you. We could almost not believe it, but we hear it. After a while we recognice her voice and even though we know what to expect there is alvways a WOW ana a how going on. We have learned to love her and her singing For us she is the best singer out there. Big words, but she has something very special.
She makes any Cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time . She is dangerous for any singer as she will make any of their songs better.
She is on the road to becoming a legend
Believe it or not this is a toned down version done a year after her epic performance she did at 9 with a live jazz band. That B & W music video is a whole different take on this Screamin' Jay Hawkins song from the 50's. It is shocking how much attitude a 9 yo can portray & apparently the screams & growls shocked her voice coach & they were eliminated in all later versions. Here is the link for the version that her fans wanted you to do. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html You mentioned she had a totally different voice in the earlier song. Believe it or not she does that for every song & that's why I call her the "Angel of 1000 Voices." After you've listened to 125 cover songs across all styles & music genre, you will see she comes up with the perfect voice for each song. I've heard so many reactors say "This song is just perfect for her voice." No, she adjusted her voice to fit the song, perfectly. She also has 5 totally different originals, 3 she composed herself from 11-12, & 2 written specifically for her to originally perform. Wait until you hear her Elvis voice or Amy Winehouse or Lana Del Ray, or Adele or Ella Fitzgerald or Dina Washington or Billie Holiday or on & on. She has them all with a 2.0 upgrade. Her gift to the world of music is her genius ability to re-arrange & re-interpret old classic songs to make them new & current, like she did with Bohemian Rhapsody. She does all her own arrangements & has since she was 7. Finally, the thing that sets her apart from other talented vocal artists is her ability to emote the lyrics. She makes you feel them down to your bones, gives you goosebumps, makes you cry & calms you down all at once. Before you go back to her earlier work, you should check out her 2nd AGT-C performance in the finals where she killed Elton John's classic song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It's gorgeous!!! here is the link. th-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/w-d-xo.html

I wrote earlier about your reaction, but I decided today to listen to this song again-and then go back to Angelina’s original that she did at age nine. Although both show her talent, in the original version in black and white, she’s working live in a studio with a great bunch of jazz guys. The difference is really noticeable. I thought in this later version she sounded rushed-maybe by the show’s time limits. Working with the band, they were totally in sync, and her sense of timing for this classic was absolutely perfect-delays, slides, and also silences to let the band play. A nine year old totally in command of the room, giving a lesson to anyone who wants to know how to sing jazz. Secondly this later version, you’ll see, is tamed down. I’ve read that her coaches wanted Angelina to not harm her voice with her growls and effects. So, despite what you saw here, the B&W version is actually Angelina unleashed. It is a jaw-dropping performance, with Angelina totally selling the song and showing how a singer can growl and howl in tune and in time with the music.
If there were a TH-cam performance hall of fame, that video would be right at the top.
Yellow Brick Road
Stunning
Barefoot, as she gave her own very shoes ,to a little girl who had no shoes ...
Angelina Vows to perform barefoot until every child has a pair of shoes ♡
You need to watch the B&W version.
This is why we became addicted. The anticipation every time what will she choose. She controls a full range of texture tonality, range and colour.
First, I don’t think you reacted to the “wrong” version. Angelina doesn’t do wrong versions. But it may not have been the one some of us expected. The main difference between the two (other than one being live and the other in studio) is that there are more stylistic growls and roars in the studio version and they are more intense. She has never repeated that and as a vocal coach I’m sure you can imagine why. It is indeed shockingly brilliant though. It would be for any vocalist. For a 9-year old it’s just... I dunno... incomprehensible?
Give it a listen on your own without the need to interrupt it.
I could mention many other songs (see my comment on your BR reaction). But what I would really love to hear is your reaction to Cry Me a River. It is remarkable to me for its maturity, the ease of delivery, and the near absence of vocal tricks and ornaments, riffs and runs, rasp, vocal fry etc, I love all those things and she is a master at using them without overdoing it. But the simplicity of this one with it’s beautiful soft vibrato, it packs a big emotional punch and nearly knocked me silly. I kinda lost it for reasons I won’t bore you with.
And the link...

Indeed, check out the studio version!
There is a black and white video of her sing this.Maybe a year or two younger. This one will blow you away!!!! With a live band.
Another Angelina song not to be missed is "Song for A" composed for her by Nico Cartosio. A masterpiece and very different from all her other work.
The black and white version is even better, you should see that one : )
The biggest thing about Angelina is her ears........She sings Billie Holiday, she sounds like Billie. She does a version of Summertime, the rasp is right there. Besides just having a great voice, she hears all of the little things that makes the song great. Her first song on Norway's Got Talent was Billie's 'Gloomy Sunday'. She did not get the subject but she got every inflection just right and knocked it out of the park.
Well said!!!!! "A prodigy that we will never understand" how it happens. I can't get enough of Angelina and will travel to Norway to see her live when everything gets back to normal.
I've made this personal plan too: As soon as C19 allows it again, I'd like to go to one of her next concerts in Norway or other parts in Europe - I'm from Germany.
I have seen instrumental prodigies. This is the first time that I have been listening to a young vocal prodigy who has the 100% support of her family who guide her and have made sure that she has a childhood and is well educated. They have not let her sign with the folks who have come calling, folks like Disney. She has composed and written the lyrics for three original songs. She does a lot of her own arrangements. There was a live band accompanying her is this performance. I have been amazed at the respect grown men have for her as they work together and she will make last minute changes. That was one of the clinchers for me--the respect much older musicians/artists have for her.
There is no turning back. There is so much more Angelina to experience.
That's my lovely angelinaa 🤗
You need to listen to her other version of I Got a Spell on you and many more of her recordings like Whitney Houston You are going to be shocked she just turned 16 her voice changes and many different song she can sound different as can be she's incredible
You simply HAVE to check out the black and white version of this song as well as "a million years ago"... You have great things coming!
Honestly Ken, ANYTHING she does, needs to be herd. She has an UNLIMITED WHAREHOUSE of talent, and she KNOW'S when and HOW to pull from those endless shelves of her feelings, and ability to portray exact emotions thru her voice to the lucky listener.
Angelina has been given a gift 🎁 just in joy it! This time many are all around the world go to kids got talent or the voice kids world wide -
Her first audition on Norways got talent singing gloomy sunday with english subtitles will knock your socks off.
You've got to see the black and white version of 'I put a spell on you' live orchestra. 7 years old and absolute incredible performance! I love her, I'm hooked oh and yellow brick road is awesome. Everything she touches is hers.
From what I've gathered she has always lived in same house as her maternal grandmother.she has been surrounded with a massive catalog of classics,retro, soul,scat,r&b,and motown from her grandmother(persian)
One of the best things about Angelina Jordan is the fact that she is awakening people today about the great Jazz and other music of the 40s, 50s and 60s like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, etc.
She loves to sing like she loves to BREATH!!!!!
She did this song in a booth at 8! You really need to look for that one! It’s is absolutely incredible
She looks so calm and natural... it's crazy!
