Child prodigy. Started singing at 1-1/2. Won Norway's Got Talent at 7/8. Performs barefoot since meeting a poor girl weighing people for money. Angelina was six. She struck up a conversation with the poor barefoot girl. The girl had scars on her feet. Angelina took her shoes off and gave them to the girl. She vowed never to perform with shoes until all children had shoes Angelina published a book about the encounter when she was 9. Youngest published author in Norway. She has helped raise millions for charities. She is a very humble person and loves her family deeply. Also loves her devoted fans. Turned 15 Jan 10th, 2021.
When you think English isn’t her first language, she’s sitting down, playing with her new birthday present mike holding it backwards, and doing this from the heart in only one take. There are no words in the English language to express how I feel, just pure chills. Can you imagine what’s to come? Hang on!
Just discover Angelina Jordan? You are in for a treat there are so much more to discover, this is just one of her many voices. Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Smile.
Angelina-Microphone-==heaven ,best singer on planet,she won norways got talent 8 years old singing jazz, gloomy sunday,bang bang,summertime amazing human as well
I have listened to countless covers of this classic I'd Rather Go Blind song and none matches this performance by this little 12 years old girl sitting on a couch at her home studio. She sang with such fearless attitude. She in fact has been thought of the next jazz/blue queen to bring back the good ol' music to the contemporary world. and we all hope she will succeed. She has done many covers but she has a number of originals. Her latest original music video was actually dropped last week. 7th Heaven. The tune is fantastic.
Amy, Adele, Etta and Billie was all great influences for Angelina, so - you can either go all the way back to when she did Billie Holiday at age 7, or just a couple days back when she dropped an absolute fantastic "All I ask" Adele cover.
first react on YT with Angelina,never see you here before,and your journey with Angelina wll be magical, a big journey with her from she started in studio,6years old and today 15years old,more than 130 songs,from different era all the way,a musical treasure is it from a young girl,enjoy the ride
Angelina is from Norway, she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 , covering Billie Holliday....check out her singing "I put a spell on you" at 9 years old....
Angelina is known to make people cry. You'll learn that she regularly performs miracles - effortlessly. My favourite female vocalist currently alive, if not of all time.
And welcome down the neverending Angelina rabbit hole. You have just witnessed the best singer, IMO, on the planet. Her voice will move and sooth your soul. Great reaction you two! Can't wait to see your next Angelina reaction!👍💯👍
She makes people cry because she touches us in a spiritual way, like where is this coming from? She was blessed and we've been blessed to witness her genius. You can't stop now.
She is 12 years here! Angelina is in my opinion by far the biggest versatile talent we now have in music. She seems like she can sing everything she wants, everything from country, pop, and jazz ... She is not a show of artist as a singer, but a communicator to lucky us! Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Public Record). slows down a bit with marketing her fully. She is so good anyway, and delivers music that lasts, and not music hits that last for 1 month. (Google translate)
wowwwww!!!! ONLY 12?!?!?! That is crazy!!! I cant even deal with her talent ability being this incredible. I cant wait until she becomes fully into her own and see her as she continues to grow. She will indeed make it very far with a voice like that!
@@AsiaandBJ Not only that she was just playing with her new mike to see what it would do. Holding it backwards. Playing around and making musical history.
Thank you for your reaction video, I really enjoyed it, it felt like hanging out with you guys and listening to Angelina Jordan.😊 Here's some info about Angelina: She's currently 15, she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8, she gave concerts all around the world already and appeared on TV multiple times. In addition to singing she plays 4 instruments, she paints and she also wrote a book. Her unique style is heavily influenced by jazz. She covered over a hundred classics of different genres. She hasn't got many originals as of yet, but she recently has signed with a major record label (Republic Records), so from this year forward more originals are expected to be released. Angelina is not only talented, she's also a very kind-hearted person, she performs barefoot to fight child poverty and she raised millions of dollars for children's charities.
The most beautiful part of this to me is the proof that music is beyond race or age... For this 12yo girl to naturally belt out this song that you grew up with your mom listening to really is emotional.
Angelina is norwegian like me. She started here in Norway on a talent show 7 years old. We were all blown away by her grownup jazz voice. Uniq voice, reminds of Amy Whinehouse combined with some old great jazz singer like Ella and others
Asia and BJ, thanks for this first great reaction to the magic Angelina. In this performance, and I have listened to it a hundred times, I am always fascinated by the naturalness with which she manages to make amazing vocal games and keep her splendid simplicity of hers. This is what makes me love this girl so much, I appreciate and admire the skill of many other young singers, but she is truly unique to me, the emotions she brings forth are truly a miracle 😊 ❤️ In this sweet moment of play on the sofa, with the new mike, while she accentuates the exasperated use of her vocal frying and the ease with which she manages to use it, she is incredible. 😳
Hi Asia and BJ, you already got a lot of information in the comments - but may be you find some new ones in my "standard firsties comment" - let's have a look: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice and enthusiastic reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile... 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 hooked 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 - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... There is a big pile of over 130 videos on TH-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...

"Above the water": th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my preferred genre ;-) ... here her "mini concert" from AGT the Champions (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...): "Bohemian Rhapsody": th-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/w-d-xo.html "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": th-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/w-d-xo.html “Someone You Loved": th-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/w-d-xo.html Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena): th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html . And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: th-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/w-d-xo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield"). So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ... And a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (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 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
Welcome to Angelina’s world. I just suscribed because of Angelina. She started singing with 18 months. She has done more than 130 covers from many artists. She’s very versatile. And has 5-6 original songs. May be next you can react to the black and white video version of the song “I put a spell on you” and if you like Adele, her last cover of Adele’s song “All I Ask” is breathtaking! Her last original song 7th heaven, the studio video is incredible too. Jazzy pop song. She always makes her own arrangements of the songs she covers and is a songwriter too. She’s a music prodigy. She never disappointed because she puts always her own taste to the songs she sings.
I forgot to say: in the song you’ve react to, she was 13 years old. In the song i put a spell of you she was nine. You’ll be speechless. The other two songs are receantly. She’s actually 15 years old. Her maternal grandmother introduced her to the old jazz. She has done therefore many jazz covers.
She makes every song her own. You might enjoy her recent studio video covering Adele's All I Ask. Angelina is a musical phenomenon. So glad you discovered her.
Yep. She's got that in her voice, but she's really got it in her soul. She covered Billie Holiday when she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at the age of SEVEN. She covers Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald like nobody else. The picture that comes to mind every time I hear this video is hearing the front door cjose and Angelina saying, "Hi Mom. I'm home from school. Oh look! The new microphone came.' Then she plugs it in and does this masterclass on blues while singing into the back side of the mic. Unbelievable.
NÓÓOOOOO GUAUUUUUU GUAUUUUUU EXELENTEEEEEEEE IMPRESIONANTE ÚNICA MARAVILLOSA ES INCREÍBLEMENTE MARAVILLOSA ANGELINA FELICIDADES QUE CONTINÚEN TUS ÉXITOS 😇👣💯💯😗💥💥💥👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her influence for her music came from her Grandma who always played Jazz type of music. Her mom wanted Angelina to learn songs like twinkle twinkle little star but she loved the Jazz, and the rest is history. She can sing it with such soul & passion since as a baby she was around that type of music. A truly gifted young prodigy for sure. Love your channel.
She has a million voices. Try her cover of Young and Beautiful for contrast, for example. Any song. All good. Thanks for the reaction. See you next time. :)
She was 13 years old when she covered this. She audition for Norway's Got Talent aged 7 sing Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday. If you want you could have an amazing journey with Angelina Jordan. Good luck.
@@iangoodall7620 oh ok.. But i dont think that spoils that much. I dont know where it says she wins the whole thing. Its just her singing the song. We dont get to see the whole thing and they basically just here for the music and not all that other stuff.... And o i seen a couple of others already said it.. So they already know..
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Etta James to Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. 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. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
She has done over 130 covers and makes them all her own. She also does all the arraignments and is known as the Boss by the band.. Watch her in BEAST mode. I Put a Spell on You , the black and white version at 9 years old. Then I suggest all 4 songs in order on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old.
I try to remind people to be sure to react to the NGT performances that have English subtitles or miss out on the judges reactions to Angelinas first historic performances before the world.
She’s been blessed by God when she gave her shoes to that little girl that little girl prayed to God and asked her to make her the best singer in the world I think God made her the best singer ever she sounds like an angel. God Bless us all
Great reaction. Please do yourself the biggest favor ever and don't wait for Angelina to get older. You have more than 130 performances to shock and amaze you. Angelina has the most soulful, emotional voice of my 62 years and is the only one to ever make me cry. Angelina is a true music prodigy but the only one who specializes in vocals. If you react a few more times to our barefoot princess, in the next couple weeks then you get my SUB (and likely a couple thousand more). Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Exactly , she got that very special thing in her voice only a few got . And not only that , I think it takes a musical genius to at that age hear the instrumental part of music and translate it into a voice that sounds so lived true and bluesy as hers . Every song she does is well thought true and transmitted into her own . Just amazing ❤️ I feel when I hear her , it's like listening back in time hearing those great songs from 50 , 60 + years ago and even I wasn't born yet and regret not been part of that era to Experiance it , we can now true Angelina ! ❣️❣️❣️
i by my self never do to compare her with other singers, because angelina is angelina and yes she can do really good coversongs. i love and follow her since 5 years. thumbs up for your reaction...
I love it when people discover her!! Been watching her since she was 8. ❤❤❤ She got into Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday and won the entire competition singing Summertime.🎶🎶❤🎶🎶
This girl is an Angel and believe me guys you haven't heard anything yet, she makes most of the songs she sings her own, she has just put on her cover channel all i ask by Adele, i suggest you listen to Adele's version first and then get totally blown away by Angelina's take on it , better have some tissues on standby , great reaction
Her development has been insane to watch I was floored when first seeing her sing but now she has hit a different level of professionalism in her voice
Check out her four performances on Norway's Got Talent, all jazz/blues classics. Then you'll understand a little bit better. She's been doing stuff like this since she was 7.
You definitely get Angelina. She pays tribute to Etta, but makes it her own. She does that with so many covers that will blow you away. And yes, everything Angelina sings is effortless. What you’re wrong about because this is your first song from Angelina is that her voice is not really a perfect match for Etta. What Angelina does is choose a voice that fits whatever style she sings. It’s something you have to see to believe. To understand what she can do, just watch I Put a Spell on You that she did at 9 years old. Find that black and white version. It’s the one with millions of views. Or watch her at 13 singing her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Or her cover with a big band of Feelin Good. All completely different styles and vocals, but she kills them all. You’ve never heard a singer like Angelina.
She’s like Adele Amy Winehouse and a little bit Elvis Presley baby baby because she got mad soul figured they very much she is freaking amazing and I keep forgetting that she’s a baby she’s a child things like that in adult like us that we’ve been through so much sorrow so much pain and she’s seeing all of our pain for us God bless her Angelina Jordan oh my God Norway God bless you for giving your talent for the rest of planter witness and enjoy and appreciate
For me, Angelina is like an Angel, sent to us, during the most difficult times in our lives, to bring us love, inspiration, compassion, & hope for a brighter future ❤️💙 How can we not believe in something greater than us, when you hear her voice ❤️💙 ***LOVED YOUR REACTION GUYS*** ❤️💙 Please start at the beginning of her career when she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old, her 1st song that made all the judges jaws drop was, Gloomy Sunday, by Billie Holiday, you won't be disappointed! She sings many genres, but jazz is definitely her real house ❤️💙 ****GIRL ASIA, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL****
Great review guys and welcome to the Angelina's world. This was from the time (she was 12yo I think) when Angelina was experimenting with many different genres of music and killing them all. It is fun to see a first review by someone who will often say her voice is perfect for this style because she is perfect in every style. Please do more Angelina. Her performances on America's Got Talent the Champions at 13yo would be a good place to start as would her performances on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7yo. Last year she signed her first deal with Republic Records and released to songs she wrote herself and a brilliant Adel cover.
It's fun watching your first reaction to Angelina. I get exited all over again. Fair warning, every ne of her covers will give you goosebumps. And her originals...wow. Keep up the good work.
My god she sings like she's experienced love and heartbreak and she's so young!!!! She can make her voice to anything.....that thang she has is amazing...love u guys♡ U need to hear her latest original 7th Heaven u will love it!
@@olekdah I remember that and I searched & searched and did find 1 other song she did that in but can't recall the song now which means it could have been intentional not to overpower it or flatten the sound for the era of the original, just guessing because Angelina is a genius.
@@albertphilippi4371 This is from the Neumann TLM 102 user manual: "Address the microphone from the side on which the Neumann logo is located." The condenser microphone is directed that way. Just go on nett an lock at the construction.
JUST SUBSCRIBED. You have a clear understanding of what Angelina did with this song and how amazing she performed this at 12 yo. She's been giving out goosebumps, tears of sadness and tears of joy since 7yo. You have a very rare opportunity and a once in a lifetime treat to witness the development of a musical prodigy from 6 yo with over 130 videos. No need to wait and see what she will sound like older. She just released Adele's "All I Ask" at just turned 15 yo a few days ago. I dare you to tell me that you prefer the great Adele's original song and I love Adele!! Listen to the original first and then Angelina's. I think even Adele would agree. LOVED YOUR REACTION AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. Cheers from Florida
Feeling like you're going to cry within a minute of discovering Angelina Jordan's voice is about the norm I think. She's just...preternatural. Her ability to channel emotion at such a young age is pretty much unprecedented, a
She always shines best when singing jazz and blues. Something comes out of her that her other performances, no matter how undeniably skilled, fail to give.
Versatile as she is, she does everything in style and always finds the right way. She is able to channel like noone else, I know. Considering, how young she was and still is, this is somehow not real.
Oh Asia and BJ, you guys don’t even know (smh). You don’t know how lucky you are to have discovered Angelina. There is so much in the well to draw from. I’m actually envious of you right now (you hearing her for the first time). I remember when I first came across one of her videos on TH-cam and there was a serious “holy shit“ moment for me! I was so excited to dive into other songs of hers and she does not disappoint. She’s on another level, so so special! This has been a much better year for me then 2020. 2021 marks the year that I discovered Harry Mack, and Angelina Jordan. They are two freakishly talented people and I’m ALWAYS in a better mood after listening to them. So you up MUST check out “ I put a spell on you“(She was 9 years old when she recorded this). Also, I would highly recommend “natural woman” an Aretha Franklin tribute, “ goodbye yellow brick road“ (her take on an Elton John classic), “Bohemian Rhapsody“(Her take on the Queen classic) , she also does a tribute to Whitney Houston, “I got nothing“. Goodbye yellow brick rose, and Bohemian Rhapsody are both from America’s got talent.
I believe that she got this mike for her birthday and started to sing. Love your reaction. Angelina is just a kid. Then she takes the mike and closes her eyes and goes to singing heaven. Then she becomes a kid again.
''BRASIL'', eu estou do outro lado do mundo, não entendo nada oque Angelina Jordan esta cantando, mais eu que estamos compartilhando do mesmo sentimento, que esta menina esta proporcionando pra nós. ''VALEU''.
Mar 19, 2021 · A musical prodigy, Angelina Jordan sang for the first time at barely a year old, and she never stopped.The Los Angeles-based 14-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion TH-cam views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world …
Thank you both for your reaction. Angelina’s got 136 covers on her channel. Every song she covers she makes distinctly her own without disrespecting the original, she’s covered Whitney, Adele, Amy Whinhouse, Etta James Aretha, if you liked this your in for some fun
Thanks for doing my request I knew you would love it. Please do stay by her was the first song I heard by her and it blew me away she was even younger it made me want to cry just like you said. She does Adele and Amy winehouse covers too. Please do stay. 🙂💜
Child prodigy. Started singing at 1-1/2. Won Norway's Got Talent at 7/8. Performs barefoot since meeting a poor girl weighing people for money. Angelina was six. She struck up a conversation with the poor barefoot girl. The girl had scars on her feet. Angelina took her shoes off and gave them to the girl. She vowed never to perform with shoes until all children had shoes
Angelina published a book about the encounter when she was 9. Youngest published author in Norway. She has helped raise millions for charities. She is a very humble person and loves her family deeply. Also loves her devoted fans. Turned 15 Jan 10th, 2021.
Jan 10th, that's my birthday too!! But I can't hold a candle to this awesome young woman.
When you think English isn’t her first language, she’s sitting down, playing with her new birthday present mike holding it backwards, and doing this from the heart in only one take. There are no words in the English language to express how I feel, just pure chills. Can you imagine what’s to come? Hang on!
Little girl just playing around with her new mic on her sofa.
And it is amazing!
And the mike is backwards. Lol. Not that it matters. She was amazing as usual,
Just discover Angelina Jordan? You are in for a treat there are so much more to discover, this is just one of her many voices. Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Smile.
That little girls soul is blues and jazz through and through. She is definitely a reincarnation of the greatest singers from the past
Angelina-Microphone-==heaven ,best singer on planet,she won norways got talent 8 years old singing jazz, gloomy sunday,bang bang,summertime amazing human as well
That she is.... definitely incredible! I loved this song all the way to the end!
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s world , the next superstar on this World 👍🙂❤️
I have listened to countless covers of this classic I'd Rather Go Blind song and none matches this performance by this little 12 years old girl sitting on a couch at her home studio. She sang with such fearless attitude. She in fact has been thought of the next jazz/blue queen to bring back the good ol' music to the contemporary world. and we all hope she will succeed. She has done many covers but she has a number of originals. Her latest original music video was actually dropped last week. 7th Heaven. The tune is fantastic.
Amy, Adele, Etta and Billie was all great influences for Angelina, so - you can either go all the way back to when she did Billie Holiday at age 7, or just a couple days back when she dropped an absolute fantastic "All I ask" Adele cover.
first react on YT with Angelina,never see you here before,and your journey with Angelina wll be magical, a big journey with her from she started in studio,6years old and today 15years old,more than 130 songs,from different era all the way,a musical treasure is it from a young girl,enjoy the ride
Young girl, can "Saaang"!!! She has a natural soulful voice.
Angelina is from Norway, she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 , covering Billie Holliday....check out her singing "I put a spell on you" at 9 years old....
Angelina is known to make people cry. You'll learn that she regularly performs miracles - effortlessly. My favourite female vocalist currently alive, if not of all time.
Same, man. Weird. The last few days....I came to that same conclusion.
And welcome down the neverending Angelina rabbit hole. You have just witnessed the best singer, IMO, on the planet. Her voice will move and sooth your soul. Great reaction you two! Can't wait to see your next Angelina reaction!👍💯👍
She makes people cry because she touches us in a spiritual way, like where is this coming from? She was blessed and we've been blessed to witness her genius. You can't stop now.
She is 12 years here! Angelina is in my opinion by far the biggest versatile talent we now have in music. She seems like she can sing everything she wants, everything from country, pop, and jazz ... She is not a show of artist as a singer, but a communicator to lucky us! Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Public Record). slows down a bit with marketing her fully. She is so good anyway, and delivers music that lasts, and not music hits that last for 1 month. (Google translate)
wowwwww!!!! ONLY 12?!?!?! That is crazy!!! I cant even deal with her talent ability being this incredible. I cant wait until she becomes fully into her own and see her as she continues to grow. She will indeed make it very far with a voice like that!

Not only that she was just playing with her new mike to see what it would do. Holding it backwards. Playing around and making musical history.
That’s nice. She deserves her whole childhood. As do we all.
"She's got that in her voice (she's got that thing)" is the best quote I've heard in a long time and you're absolutely right.
let's all agree.... that just about sums it up... "She's got that thing."
@@charlesmiller6510 I’ll be pinching that )) referencing these guys of course ))
OMG! OUT OF THIS WORLD.
That’s soul
Thank you for your reaction video, I really enjoyed it, it felt like hanging out with you guys and listening to Angelina Jordan.😊 Here's some info about Angelina: She's currently 15, she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8, she gave concerts all around the world already and appeared on TV multiple times. In addition to singing she plays 4 instruments, she paints and she also wrote a book. Her unique style is heavily influenced by jazz. She covered over a hundred classics of different genres. She hasn't got many originals as of yet, but she recently has signed with a major record label (Republic Records), so from this year forward more originals are expected to be released. Angelina is not only talented, she's also a very kind-hearted person, she performs barefoot to fight child poverty and she raised millions of dollars for children's charities.
The most beautiful part of this to me is the proof that music is beyond race or age... For this 12yo girl to naturally belt out this song that you grew up with your mom listening to really is emotional.
Angelina is norwegian like me. She started here in Norway on a talent show 7 years old. We were all blown away by her grownup jazz voice. Uniq voice, reminds of Amy Whinehouse combined with some old great jazz singer like Ella and others
Asia and BJ, thanks for this first great reaction to the magic Angelina. In this performance, and I have listened to it a hundred times, I am always fascinated by the naturalness with which she manages to make amazing vocal games and keep her splendid simplicity of hers. This is what makes me love this girl so much, I appreciate and admire the skill of many other young singers, but she is truly unique to me, the emotions she brings forth are truly a miracle 😊 ❤️
In this sweet moment of play on the sofa, with the new mike, while she accentuates the exasperated use of her vocal frying and the ease with which she manages to use it, she is incredible. 😳
Hi Asia and BJ, you already got a lot of information in the comments - but may be you find some new ones in my "standard firsties comment" - let's have a look:
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice and enthusiastic reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
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 hooked 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 - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on TH-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...

In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ...
And a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (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 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
Welcome to Angelina’s world.
I just suscribed because of Angelina.
She started singing with 18 months. She has done more than 130 covers from many artists. She’s very versatile. And has 5-6 original songs.
May be next you can react to the black and white video version of the song “I put a spell on you” and if you like Adele, her last cover of Adele’s song “All I Ask” is breathtaking!
Her last original song 7th heaven, the studio video is incredible too. Jazzy pop song.
She always makes her own arrangements of the songs she covers and is a songwriter too.
She’s a music prodigy. She never disappointed because she puts always her own taste to the songs she sings.
I forgot to say: in the song you’ve react to, she was 13 years old.
In the song i put a spell of you she was nine. You’ll be speechless.
The other two songs are receantly. She’s actually 15 years old.
Her maternal grandmother introduced her to the old jazz. She has done therefore many jazz covers.
Yes, there is a short video on Youtiube of her working on singing Whitney Houston at 18 months of age.
Put Angelinas Playlist on while road tripping and bring the box of tissues .. y'all be traveling misty eyed - happy - but misty eyed. ❤💯❤
She makes every song her own. You might enjoy her recent studio video covering Adele's All I Ask. Angelina is a musical phenomenon. So glad you discovered her.
Welcome to Angelina's world....you will find it is a great place to visit.
Yep. She's got that in her voice, but she's really got it in her soul. She covered Billie Holiday when she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at the age of SEVEN. She covers Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald like nobody else.
The picture that comes to mind every time I hear this video is hearing the front door cjose and Angelina saying, "Hi Mom. I'm home from school. Oh look! The new microphone came.' Then she plugs it in and does this masterclass on blues while singing into the back side of the mic. Unbelievable.
If Angelina doesn't touch you in the depth of your soul, something is off with you.
Incredible.
NÓÓOOOOO GUAUUUUUU GUAUUUUUU EXELENTEEEEEEEE IMPRESIONANTE ÚNICA MARAVILLOSA ES INCREÍBLEMENTE MARAVILLOSA ANGELINA FELICIDADES QUE CONTINÚEN TUS ÉXITOS 😇👣💯💯😗💥💥💥👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
Angelina is music and she is also love❤
When it touches the soul you know its special. Thats those tears about to flow.
Angelina jordan "what is life"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her influence for her music came from her Grandma who always played Jazz type of music. Her mom wanted Angelina to learn songs like twinkle twinkle little star but she loved the Jazz, and the rest is history. She can sing it with such soul & passion since as a baby she was around that type of music. A truly gifted young prodigy for sure. Love your channel.
She has a million voices. Try her cover of Young and Beautiful for contrast, for example. Any song. All good. Thanks for the reaction. See you next time. :)
her voice is crazy talented!!! I loved every second of this one... almost like I didn't want it to end. Cant wait to do more for her! 💯
The Angel with a thousand voices...she is insane. She was 12 or 13 when this was recorded she is now 15 and she is the best singer on the planet.
I have watched this video 6 times now I think. Maybe more. You both are a delight! Thank you.
Angelina jordan killing me softly live and ain't no sunshine .
She was 13 years old when she covered this. She audition for Norway's Got Talent aged 7 sing Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday. If you want you could have an amazing journey with Angelina Jordan. Good luck.
Well she didn't just audition she won the whole thing..😉
@@Danny_R_ I know just didn't want to spoil the journey.
@@iangoodall7620 oh ok.. But i dont think that spoils that much. I dont know where it says she wins the whole thing. Its just her singing the song. We dont get to see the whole thing and they basically just here for the music and not all that other stuff.... And o i seen a couple of others already said it.. So they already know..
lOVE THE WAY SHE SINGS WITH FEELING AND SO SOOTHING!
She sing the song in her beautiful version voice ♥️
Beautiful, listen to Angelina sing "How Great Thou Art" what a low register...amazing amazing!
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Etta James to Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. 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. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
She is a mixture of so many great female singers great reaction 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙
She has done over 130 covers and makes them all her own.
She also does all the arraignments and is known as the Boss by the band..
Watch her in BEAST mode. I Put a Spell on You , the black and white version at 9 years old.
Then I suggest all 4 songs in order on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old.
I try to remind people to be sure to react to the NGT performances that have English subtitles or miss out on the judges reactions to Angelinas first historic performances before the world.
Norways Got Talent Angelina Jordan / years old. Summertime. Just dive in and hold your breath. You are not gonna belive it.
I hear a lot of Billie Holiday in her, but Angelina always brings her own voice and feeling into her performances.
Just downloaded Angelina Jordans new single LOVE DONT LET ME GO.
She’s been blessed by God when she gave her shoes to that little girl that little girl prayed to God and asked her to make her the best singer in the world I think God made her the best singer ever she sounds like an angel. God Bless us all
Great reaction. Please do yourself the biggest favor ever and don't wait for Angelina to get older. You have more than 130 performances to shock and amaze you. Angelina has the most soulful, emotional voice of my 62 years and is the only one to ever make me cry. Angelina is a true music prodigy but the only one who specializes in vocals. If you react a few more times to our barefoot princess, in the next couple weeks then you get my SUB (and likely a couple thousand more). Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Amazes every time she sings. Phenomenal and just plain old gifted.
Exactly , she got that very special thing in her voice only a few got . And not only that , I think it takes a musical genius to at that age hear the instrumental part of music and translate it into a voice that sounds so lived true and bluesy as hers . Every song she does is well thought true and transmitted into her own . Just amazing ❤️ I feel when I hear her , it's like listening back in time hearing those great songs from 50 , 60 + years ago and even I wasn't born yet and regret not been part of that era to Experiance it , we can now true Angelina ! ❣️❣️❣️
i by my self never do to compare her with other singers, because angelina is angelina and yes she can do really good coversongs. i love and follow her since 5 years. thumbs up for your reaction...
I love it when people discover her!! Been watching her since she was 8. ❤❤❤ She got into Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday and won the entire competition singing Summertime.🎶🎶❤🎶🎶
This girl is an Angel and believe me guys you haven't heard anything yet, she makes most of the songs she sings her own, she has just put on her cover channel all i ask by Adele, i suggest you listen to Adele's version first and then get totally blown away by Angelina's take on it , better have some tissues on standby , great reaction
Her development has been insane to watch
I was floored when first seeing her sing but now she has hit a different level of professionalism in her voice
She's a prodigy for sure .... I feel protective of her. She also makes me cry.
You guys are in for a huge treat. Enjoy your Angelina journey. There's nothing else like it.
Check out her four performances on Norway's Got Talent, all jazz/blues classics. Then you'll understand a little bit better. She's been doing stuff like this since she was 7.
13 here. You should hear her at 15 - or 6. She is unique. She always makes her covers her own. An her own songs are just fantastic
she has been singing like that since she was 3 yrs old, this girl is a composer, director and the boss of her recordings.
Angelina just took us to church! Subscribed to watch more of your reactions to her!
Her song Born to Die, is my absolute favorite and will blow your mind, it's a must check out. Glad you guys are doing her music.
She is amazing.
Nobody delivers like Angelina Jordan and she is still a child 🇨🇦💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😱🤗
You definitely get Angelina. She pays tribute to Etta, but makes it her own. She does that with so many covers that will blow you away. And yes, everything Angelina sings is effortless. What you’re wrong about because this is your first song from Angelina is that her voice is not really a perfect match for Etta. What Angelina does is choose a voice that fits whatever style she sings. It’s something you have to see to believe. To understand what she can do, just watch I Put a Spell on You that she did at 9 years old. Find that black and white version. It’s the one with millions of views. Or watch her at 13 singing her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Or her cover with a big band of Feelin Good. All completely different styles and vocals, but she kills them all. You’ve never heard a singer like Angelina.
Bingo!
She is sooooo goood!❤😎👍🇸🇪
Her latest is her second under Republic Records, 7th Heaven. I think she just had her 15th birthday. Great fun!
I love you two you know this girl has it I respect your reactions you are beautiful
Great reaction to Angelina. Looking forward to more. Subscribed.
Voice of a angel
...and she is just sitting on her couch...hahaha! Thanks for your reaction!
Vocal fry!!! She is a master.
She’s like Adele Amy Winehouse and a little bit Elvis Presley baby baby because she got mad soul figured they very much she is freaking amazing and I keep forgetting that she’s a baby she’s a child things like that in adult like us that we’ve been through so much sorrow so much pain and she’s seeing all of our pain for us God bless her Angelina Jordan oh my God Norway God bless you for giving your talent for the rest of planter witness and enjoy and appreciate
For me, Angelina is like an Angel, sent to us, during the most difficult times in our lives, to bring us love, inspiration, compassion, & hope for a brighter future ❤️💙 How can we not believe in something greater than us, when you hear her voice ❤️💙 ***LOVED YOUR REACTION GUYS*** ❤️💙 Please start at the beginning of her career when she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old, her 1st song that made all the judges jaws drop was, Gloomy Sunday, by Billie Holiday, you won't be disappointed! She sings many genres, but jazz is definitely her real house ❤️💙 ****GIRL ASIA, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL****
Great review guys and welcome to the Angelina's world.
This was from the time (she was 12yo I think) when Angelina was experimenting with many different genres of music and killing them all.
It is fun to see a first review by someone who will often say her voice is perfect for this style because she is perfect in every style.
Please do more Angelina. Her performances on America's Got Talent the Champions at 13yo would be a good place to start as would her performances on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7yo. Last year she signed her first deal with Republic Records and released to songs she wrote herself and a brilliant Adel cover.
I'll be here for every Angelina reaction. She makes my soul smile
It's fun watching your first reaction to Angelina. I get exited all over again. Fair warning, every ne of her covers will give you goosebumps. And her originals...wow. Keep up the good work.
And music they do. Personally it's refreshing to see real music and 👍 to the ladies
Yep you said it; some people have talent, but some people got a gift! And Angelina has the gift.
I've followed her for a long time. You HAVE to listen to her at 9 years old singing, I put a spell on you.
This young woman is an old soul. You know it's her singing as soon as she sings the first note.
You two epitomize what great AJ fans are. A handsome and close couple with a tremendous appreciation for great music.
My god she sings like she's experienced love and heartbreak and she's so young!!!! She can make her voice to anything.....that thang she has is amazing...love u guys♡ U need to hear her latest original 7th Heaven u will love it!
About time!! She and Dimash are my favorites for different reasons, but the feeling I get is the same if that makes sense..almost spiritual
Angelina had just received this mic for her birthday and she’s sitting on the couch checking it out.
And I think it's the first and only time she is holding the mic the wrong way! 😄
@@olekdah I remember that and I searched & searched and did find 1 other song she did that in but can't recall the song now which means it could have been intentional not to overpower it or flatten the sound for the era of the original, just guessing because Angelina is a genius.
@@olekdah , This is a Neumann TLM 102 HOME STUDIO microphone. There is no wrong side to this model. 🤗
@@albertphilippi4371 This is from the Neumann TLM 102 user manual: "Address the microphone from the side on which the Neumann logo is located." The condenser microphone is directed that way. Just go on nett an lock at the construction.
And the sound that she gets holding the mic backwards is stunning!
JUST SUBSCRIBED. You have a clear understanding of what Angelina did with this song and how amazing she performed this at 12 yo. She's been giving out goosebumps, tears of sadness and tears of joy since 7yo. You have a very rare opportunity and a once in a lifetime treat to witness the development of a musical prodigy from 6 yo with over 130 videos. No need to wait and see what she will sound like older. She just released Adele's "All I Ask" at just turned 15 yo a few days ago. I dare you to tell me that you prefer the great Adele's original song and I love Adele!! Listen to the original first and then Angelina's. I think even Adele would agree. LOVED YOUR REACTION AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. Cheers from Florida
Nice reaction video! Yes Angelina is awesome. probably the new future Jazz-Queen!
Feeling like you're going to cry within a minute of discovering Angelina Jordan's voice is about the norm I think. She's just...preternatural. Her ability to channel emotion at such a young age is pretty much unprecedented, a
She always shines best when singing jazz and blues. Something comes out of her that her other performances, no matter how undeniably skilled, fail to give.
She got that THANG!!!
Versatile as she is, she does everything in style and always finds the right way. She is able to channel like noone else, I know. Considering, how young she was and still is, this is somehow not real.
Oh Asia and BJ, you guys don’t even know (smh). You don’t know how lucky you are to have discovered Angelina. There is so much in the well to draw from. I’m actually envious of you right now (you hearing her for the first time). I remember when I first came across one of her videos on TH-cam and there was a serious “holy shit“ moment for me! I was so excited to dive into other songs of hers and she does not disappoint. She’s on another level, so so special! This has been a much better year for me then 2020. 2021 marks the year that I discovered Harry Mack, and Angelina Jordan. They are two freakishly talented people and I’m ALWAYS in a better mood after listening to them. So you up MUST check out “ I put a spell on you“(She was 9 years old when she recorded this). Also, I would highly recommend “natural woman” an Aretha Franklin tribute, “ goodbye yellow brick road“ (her take on an Elton John classic), “Bohemian Rhapsody“(Her take on the Queen classic) , she also does a tribute to Whitney Houston, “I got nothing“. Goodbye yellow brick rose, and Bohemian Rhapsody are both from America’s got talent.
Sto ascoltando tutte le vostre audizioni di questo talento unico. Meraviglia per le orecchie.
I believe that she got this mike for her birthday and started to sing. Love your reaction. Angelina is just a kid. Then she takes the mike and closes her eyes and goes to singing heaven. Then she becomes a kid again.
I love how Asia watches this like a proud mama.... It's adorable.
God really blessed her for real
''BRASIL'', eu estou do outro lado do mundo, não entendo nada oque Angelina Jordan esta cantando, mais eu que estamos compartilhando do mesmo sentimento, que esta menina esta proporcionando pra nós. ''VALEU''.

Along the way, she performed for world …
Thank you both for your reaction. Angelina’s got 136 covers on her channel. Every song she covers she makes distinctly her own without disrespecting the original, she’s covered Whitney, Adele, Amy Whinhouse, Etta James Aretha, if you liked this your in for some fun
