When you found Angelina we her fan’s will find you. Being raised on big band music and Jazz, and living through the subsequent changes up to today. I will say there has never been and probably never be another Angelina Jordan Astar. She outperforms most of the past stars of our musical history from the 1930’s to the present. She has an in-ate understanding of the songwriters intent and conveys the meaning directly to the listener. You often find yourself intertwined in her world and wonder how you arrived there. I can Tell by listening to you that you will be another dazed wanderer along with the rest of Angelina’s angles. Welcome to Angelina’s world.
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 after auditioning at the age of 7. She has over 130 covers and several original songs on TH-cam. She is currently 14 years old (15 on 1/10/2021). She recently signed with Republic Records and recently released her first single under that label. That song is titled Million Miles and was written for her late grandfather and dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. Angelina always performs barefoot because when she was 6 years old she was on vacation in the Middle East with her grandmother and she met a young girl about her age weighing people on a bathroom scale to make money. Angelina and the girl spoke for a while. It was cold outside and Angelina noticed the girl had no shoes and scars on her feet. Angelina took off her own shoes and gave them to the girl. Angelina has vowed to never where shoes when she performs until all of the world's children have clothes and shoes. Angelina has stayed true to that vow for 8 years. Angelina has raised millions of dollars for children's charities, has sang at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, and sang for Quincy Jones at his 85th birthday at his request. I consider to be the greatest vocalist of all time, and she is just getting started.
With todays young singers comes belting and a run for the highest notes. With Angelina you get something completely different. You will dig into her soul, and her incredible understanding and feel for music. She is clearly unique, and has no match today in my opinion. Thank you for giving Angelina a chance, SJ, you will continue to be amazed by this young, very gifted girl 👍
Shane you were correct when you said Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy and is the only prodigy I know of that specializes in vocals. With all the natural talent Angelina devotes most of her waking hours to improve. When she performed "I Put a Spell On You" at the age of 9 years 2 months, she showed her genius for arranging songs. Angelina has always created her own arrangements even at age 6. As talented as Angelina Jordan is, she is an even better human being, always performing barefoot and here is the story how that started. 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 promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. 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.
She is deeply intuitive about the music, as you will discover in her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", but she's been devotedly working at her craft since age 5. After regular school she has been attending music & performing arts schools at least since age 6 where the recording of "I Who Have No One" was made. Her family moved to L.A. for school when teachers in Norway said they had nothing more to offer her. But she is gifted in many ways...Her grandparents native languages were Farsi, Japanese (these two lived with her family), and Swedish. She grew up in Norway, and was already reading lyrics in English at 6! She is learning to play piano, guitar, and flute. And where does all that natural compassion come from? Gotta love this girl and pray for her well-being. Thanks for your reaction!
Angelina is a prodigy. She was in the recording studio at age 6 (her first tries) and improved exponentially from there. You can watch her improve from the first song she sang for Norway's Got Talent through the last song she sings. Rusty Shackleford has a chronological list and encourages new reviewers to start at NGT or "I Who Have Nothing" , at age 6, and move forward. She is multi-talented and has no problem singing in front of a large audience.
Great reaction. This was her at 13 years old. Welcome to Angelina's world. Buckle up if you are going to take this ride down the rabbit hole of over 130 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 14 which is her current age. She has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance. Another thing about Angelina is that she is completely in control of the music she sings. She picks the songs and arranges them herself the way she wants them to be done. In the "I put a spell on you" video, when she was 9 years old, she is seen handing some written notes to the band director. The were her "wishes" about changes she would like in the arrangement. Since winning Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7, Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 14, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases This is just a short list that you can select from, and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par. There are four of her original songs in this list that you will love as well.

@@103mrg you are correct. She said she was seven when she was talking to Heidi when she appeared on AGT and she auditioned for NGT when she was seven but by the time the show wrapped she had turned 8.
@@philgaringer9065 Since the show was taped in 2019, had she answered 8, it would have meant she was 14 (and not 13). Either her age winning NGT or her singing BR had to change to make the math work when the show aired in 2020.
She is an amazing singer, period. No "for her age" should ever be attached. Hope you saved some Wows for future listens to Angelina - you will need them.
Excellent reaction. Great perception. She was definitely gifted but she has put the work in to hone her craft since she was 6 years old, so at this point she already has honed her craft. She has videos performing in a studio since age 6 and has released over 100 videos since. You will notice jazz influences in nearly every song as jazz is her forte. You will see her sing "Summertime" in one of her performances on Norway's Got Talent at age 8. She performs many of the old time greats like Ella and Billie Holiday and more current jazz artists like Amy Winehouse. She has been arranging all of her songs since 8 years old. She wrote her first song at age 11with "What Is Life" and has a few other originals. You will be amazed watching her growth from 6 years old. Her true talent is how she interprets songs and presents them to the listener, where you FEEL the song. It can be an emotional experience. A good starting point is NGT and I Put A Spell On You (the black and white version). After that you're on your way to a fun ride! Thanks for the genuine reaction and expect many of her followers.
She was 13yo when this was recorded and normaly she make all her arrangements herself - and she has sung songs written for her and has written some of her own.... but lets start at the beginning ;-) Hi Sean, welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice and interesting 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 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 - 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... She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).

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 ... 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
Great reaction 🙏 Always interesting to see someone that’s new to Angelina. Oh yes she has practiced an insane amount. She’s been singing since she was 18 months old. But there is a lot more to her than just practice. Her voice has had that mature quality since her audition on Norway’s Got Talent at 7 (and even before that). And she’s born with some kind of built in confidence. Nothing seems to make her nervous. She composes and arranges songs too. She’s destined to achieve wonderful things 🤩
This is only 1 of her many styles, genre & voices. To me, she's the most incredible vocalist of my lifetime. I know that sounds crazy, but if you listen to 30-40 of her 132 songs on YT, you will begin to understand. She takes old classics & re-arranges them, to make them new & her own. She emotes, or makes you feel the emotion of the lyrics, better than any other singer I've seen. She has 4 originals & her latest, called Million Miles, is the 1st under her new record label. It's about the loss of her grandpa, so it's extremely emotional & I predict it will be nominated for a Grammy next year. It's where she is today (Almost 15), then you should to check out her beginnings at Norway's Got Talent when she was 7-8. She is phenomenal!!! th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html
If you really want to get a sense of how legit this girl is, I always like to recommend that people go back and look at her beginnings... what she was doing at 7 was already incredible, and she just gets better and better as you go through the years. This chronological playlist is very long, so you don't have to check them all, but maybe pick and choose based on the recommends you get.... th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html And you said you wanted more info, so...... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 14 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 14 she is just getting started!!!
Welcome to the world of the barefooted princess and jazz queen Angelina Jordan. You have climbed aboard the Aj express pick your stops of 132 songs as of 2020 14 now try At 9 I Put a Spell on You What a Difference a Day Makes The Show Must Go On (Queen cover) Feeling Good A Natural Woman
She chops and changes her style, but it’s still her. Do listen to her version of I Put a Spell On You, Black and White version. Other singers have said the level of control and musicality she has should take decades, so there is definitely talent.
Adding a second comment to provide additional background - At an outdoor concert in Summer 2019 in Prøysenhuset, Norway, Angelina performed a 14 song set. She sang two of her original songs (one twice including the encore), and covered Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse (2), Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Adele, Rihanna, Ella Fitzgerald (2), and Elvis. Each one flawlessly, and her covers were performed with total respect for the original artists. Not copies, but covers respectfully incorporating Angelina's style and interpretation. Outstanding diversity and ability to immerse herself in the music. I'd make recommendations, but think getting to know Angelina (and her 130+ videos) is a personal journey. Have fun.
You just found AJ? Wow fella, you just found probably the greatest singing sensation of our time. She "sings" songs, not screams them, she has a purity and a clarity like no other. A true natural talent already and still only 14yo. Keep looking for her video's - you won't regret it. Great reaction BTW.
You can have all the natural talent in the world, but if you don't put in the work, you'll never be truely great. You can put in all the work in the world, but if you don't have talent, you'll never be truely great. There are a precious few that are gifted with a special talent and put in the work to improve that talent that are true artists. I believe Angelina is in that last group. She has bee doing her own arrangements since at least age 8..
As you learn more about Angelina, you will understand this better - start with an unparalleled voice and musicality, add pinches of the best from a couple dozen vocalists, blend with a deep commitment to her artistry with hours/days/years of hard work and practice, then top with a heart and soul filled incredible empathy = Angelina. Hope to see you explore more of her.
Thank you for reacting to Angelina and welcome to the rabbit hole 😃 Concerning talent / practice: Angelina knows exactly what she wants when it comes to music. She invested a lot of hard work developing her skills beginning from a young age. I think talent in combination with practice and strict will can result such a singer like Angelina. Stay safe!
This arrangement was actually from Sara Bereilles (th-cam.com/video/eAti8JNmJi8/w-d-xo.html). Angelina's initial performance on AGT was her own arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and she went on to perform Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Love" for the final exhibition performance on the show. She also has a recent original release through her new record company (Republic Records) called " Million Miles". There is a lyric version (th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html) and a live studio version (th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html). She has 132 different songs on TH-cam ranging from well before she won Norway's Got Talent in 2014 at the age of 8 up to the present. Realize that you need to hear 30 or 40 of them to get a true sense of her vocal capability; don't fall into the trap of thinking that after listening to this you know how she sings. Yes, she has incredible natural talent, but I doubt if you can find anyone that has put as much work into her singing as she has. Go to my link for some playlists of many of her rehearsals. She has already performed all over the world, for heads of state, royalty, and the biggest names on the music industry; she performed for the Nobel Peace Prize winners shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent. She has been in front of crowds of up to 40,000 and help raise 10s of millions of dollars for a host of charities.
Excellent contribution and wonderful musical arrangement. Angelina, as always, does "retouch" Sara's arrangement at a work of art level added to the abysmal voice difference between the two (Sara Bareilles has a very beautiful voice, let's say it's another level). Angelina's musical arrangement over Sara's is up to I could say symphony orchestra level
Just a short bio She started singing at the age of one and a half Was on TH-cam at 3 looking for all the old Jazz greats. Age 5 was rehearsing Age 6 In studio recording Tom Jones I Who Have Nothing Age 7 Audition for Norway Got Talent won it all at age 8 Became the youngest published author in Norways history. Has performed in front of Nobel Peace Prize Winner, A Prince and even President Obama She has coloberated with artist like Quincy Jones,Mark Ronson, Alln Walker and many more. She has over a 130 videos on TH-cam 2 Albumi 4 originals What Is live,Oslo Shilde and her newest is Million Miles In October she signed with Republic Records and November she released her first single since signing with Republic Records Million Miles She has over 900 million views on TH-cam last I checked. And over 2 Billion veiws on Facebook. My opinion Angelina will go down as the greatest singer of the 21 century. So I hope you jump down the Anglina Jordon Rabbit hole and be surprised of the journey she will take you on And oh yes this is a short bio Great Reaction Stay Safe 😀 And you just picked up a new subscriber. And many many more will follow
Congratulations on discovering one of the greatest vocalists of all time IMO..you no doubt think this is an extreme statement at this point and that would be understandable..I’ll wager in time, you seem to have a good music ear, you will come to an agreement that indeed she is almost beyond comparison..as important she’s also a hugely committed humanitarian..she has raised millions for charity and works tirelessly to alleviate suffering where she can..I’m in awe of the person she is as much as her insane talent. Great reaction and subscribed)) check out Million Miles live version which is her latest release..
She definitely makes the most of this Sara Bareilles arrangement. I believe most of her other covers that have a clearly different arrangement than the original or most popular version are largely, if not exclusively, her own arrangements. Ones of particular note are Bohemian Rhapsody, which she also performed at AGT, I Put A Spell On You (Black & White Version), California Dreaming, Wicked Game, Wake Me Up- tribute to Avicii, Natural Woman- tribute to Aretha Franklin, Happier. For many of these she strips down the accompaniment and slows down the tempo. These are just a few examples. No matter which arrangement she chooses for any given song, she uses her voice to bring out the meaning and emotions of the lyrics in a way that others simply cannot match. Of course you'll want to check out her originals that others have mentioned. Enjoy your Angelina journey!
Great reaction, Yes this was her own arrangement, she does so on all her covers , she was just 13 at this time but the video was not released until after she turned 14. She is a natural singer and she writes her own songs and often directs those playing music for her and always with a very humble spirit.. Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 14 years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html ) She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background: (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkth-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html 2. Oslo,, th-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/w-d-xo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html 4. Above the water,, th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert. When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 14 years as of Jan. 10 ,2020. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song.. Genesis 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours
th-cam.com/video/Ozd2ja7mAgM/w-d-xo.html absolutely love Angelina singing this song... but... she did not claim to be the original for this version super talented Sara Bareilles - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road should get the credit for that...
@@charlesmiller6510 nor did I make that claim, but Angelina's while in the style of Sara's is different and not copy of hers, and is much more emotional and jazzy than Sara's, again, Angelina always takes a song to a new emotional and vocal artistic level.
I imagine she puts in long hours every day to reach this level. She certainly has a gift, but gifts need to be nurtured. From where I’m sitting, Angelina has done a wonderful job.
Check out the four songs she sang in Norway’s got talent and you will be at a loss for words. She is so very talented! Remember she was 7 years of age.
Hi there SJ. Enjoyed your reaction and comments and understand your surprise. Probably we are in front of the best young female singers in the world music panorama now. Probably the best jazz singer right now. If i may, i suggest you to check her performing live at any age. For sure you will appreciate her rendipgo tje great jazz standards like " cry me a river". In AGT she got Heidi's golden buzzer with an epic version of " Bohemian Rapsody" "that got her directly to the finals. Recently she released a new masterpiece, " million miles " under Republic records label. If you are going to listen it my suggestion is for the studio version but even the official lyrics video is great. Cheers and stay safe
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th of this year, and I have listened to her every day since. For me, she is the most moving and the most versatile singer I've ever heard. Here is her performance of Summertime on Norway's Got Talent at age 8: th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html
Hearing her sing especially when she was 8 years old at Norway Got Talent you actually start to believe in reincarnation. I put a spell on you is unbelievable especially when you think she was just 9 years old there. To see little child with voice and ability to interpret a jazz song making you believe you hear someone with the maturity in at least their 40s is mind-blowing.
"Really, really incredible!" sums it up nicely. When you like what you do, it's not work. Nature and nurture work together. She works hard to continue to improve her innate capabilities. I Put a Spell on You at age 9 is exceptional. Norway's Got Talent at 7/8 is spectacular, especially, for me, Summertime (age 8). Ella cover, Every Time We Say Goodbye, is Ella good! Bohemian Rhapsody was her first song on AGT-- an astounding arrangement of that iconic song (age 13). So many more. You will get long lists. Go where you will.Her recent (and first Republic Records) single, Million Miles has both a lyric video and live studio version. The latter is a bit more emotional, but both are great. I hope you carry on with Angelina. She is a treasure!! Thanks for this reaction.
Go back to her winning Norways Got Talent and decide if this is god given natural talent...watch all the performances at age 7-8 and you may find an answer to that. Great reaction. The Angel has millions of fans so consider doing more reactions. Rusty Shackleford has a chronological list on his YT site of all her music.
Though Angie's usually doing her own arrangement coices, this arrangement is from an earlier cover by Sarah Bareilles. You instincts are about right, she's not 14 in this. She was in fact only only 13 ;-) The show has been pre-recorded in October 2019. I think there's one thing that is simply talent which is conveying emotions. Very few singer can do that. "I put a Spell on you" is the right way to go next to get some impression of her early raw talent. The first performance is the definitive one: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html That one still drives vocal coaches into a fit due to the shortcuts she had to take with her vocals at age of 9. Consequently she toned it down a lot in later performances of that song to protect her voice. And yes she's writing her own music, 4 originals so far. We expect her first album out of her recent label deal with Republic Records to be landing soon. She's already stormed Norways Itunes charts with her latest song. And yes, she did several versions of Summertime - all the way from a simple guitarre backing to a full symphonic orchestra.
Hi Shane! So happy you found Angelina 😊 There's not much I can add to what my fellow Angelina fans already said regarding her innate understanding of music, her unique voice, her career, her professionalism, her charity work, and her caring and humble personality.Because there's so much about Angelina Jordan to learn, she is like an onion with many, many layers to discover. There's one thing I would like to say is that she is a storyteller with an unbelievable ability to take the listener on a journey with each song she performs. As one of the AGT judges said, she hypnotizes you with her voice and presence and gets directly to your heart never to leave. Now you may think this is an exaggeration from a fan but once you start exploring everything she's done since she was a little child, you'll remember my words. So, my wish for you for the coming year is, have a great journey and experience following Angelina Jordan's steps 😉😊
Bro you should’ve heard her at nine years old when she saying I put a spell on you studio recording. She won Norway’s got talent when she was seven years old. Do you have an even touch the tip of the iceberg yet, she is quite possibly the best female vocalist on the planet right now, no joke. She always performs barefoot because when she was six years old she met another little girl without shoes who was homeless, she gave her her shoes and told her she would never perform again wearing shoes until all the children of the world had shoes. She does charity work And has performed at the Nobel peace prize concert.
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 (130+ covers and original songs - all on YT) and you will see! It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Billie Holiday to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Queen to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Etta James to Amy Winehouse to Miley Cyrus (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 started here with Sara Bareilles cover of this Elton John classic and added some AJ "flavorings". She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of studio professional musicians or an 50 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. She recently signed with Republic Records. 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. React to more of her impressive library of work (already at the ripe age of 14yo)! You won't be sorry. Begin with her younger work when she won Norway's Got Talent (started at 7, won at 8yo). "Gloomy Sunday", "I'm a Fool to Want you (a cappella), "Bang Bang", and Gershwin's "Summertime " for the win are all astounding. A must stop is her rendition of "I Put a Spell on You" at 9yo. It is possibly the most astounding 3 minutes on YT. Later classics like "Feeling Good" (10yo) and " A Man's World" (12yo) are required listening. You'll soon see that she can sing about anything and you will want to hear every phrase and note. Be warned, she is addicting, not that anyone really minds! Welcome aboard the AJ train!
Thank you, Shane, for your great first reaction to Angelina. There are many other comments here that will give you excellent information about her. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! That’s what TH-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
My friend, I've watched her sing this song at least 1,000 times and watching your reaction to her is actually bringing tears to my eyes. Angelina is a very special person. Very special.
Start at Norway s got talent and her first audition. I'm a fool to want you (a Capella) to get into the show then Gloomy Sunday, Summertime (Billy Holiday) and also Bang Bang. All won her the show..... Since she has been in many many jazz festivals and concerts around Europe. She loved Jazz so much I would think both Natural and work. and most importantly the love of singing. She write her own songs. (Million Miles most recent) and as for the arrangements. All of her arrangements are her own. She tells the musicians what she wants and of course they comply. She also have fab. musicians.
Hi Shane! I am an Angelina Addict for six years now. I am NOT seeking a cure. Yes! Summertime would be a great next reaction. Either that or "Feelin' Good" when she was 8. Angelina credits Billie Holiday as her main source of inspiration throughout her career. Subscribed. Hope to see more. As a fan of golf, I appreciate the Tiger reference and it is quite accurate. Happy new year.
There's a short video of Angelina on TH-cam where she's singing along to Whitney Houston at age 18 months. A baby humming Whitney Houston. In key. - Yup, I'm pretty sure nobody had taught her how to do that at that stage. ;-)
She has two videos of Summer Time- one from Norway's Got Talent 2014 at age 8 and in 2016 with KORK at age 10. Both times her approach is similar to that of Ella Fitzgerald, but each performance is significantly different from the other. It'd be worth your time to do a double reaction. My favorite of hers in the Ella cycle is Every Time We Say Goodbye- roof top performance on TV2. Her biggest influence according to her is Billie Holiday. She first received world wide attention at NGT by singing Gloomy Sunday at age 7. Another double reaction suggestion is Angelina's I'm A Fool to Want You- at NGT (a capella no less!) and the studio recording at age 10 I believe. You can find all of these on Rusty Shackleford's channel.
It sounds like you're ready to go down the rabbit hole and never get out! Angelina has over 130 cover songs on TH-cam and five originals. She can sing any genre but her forte is jazz and soul. Many of her songs reflect the classics. She is truly a singer of 1,000 voices! Angelina is a gifted prodigy and there are songs online from Norway's Got Talent starting at 7 years old. She actually started singing at one and a half! she is also put in a lot of hard work in addition to her natural gift. There is no other singer like her in the world currently. By the way, please keep reacting to Angelina songs as the fan base is very large and loyal and will keep coming back and subscribing. Here is a playlist courtesy of Rusty Shackleford. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
You have now heard one of the best musical talents in the world today. Keep listening to more and you'll likely fall in love with her voice and her style! There are several avenues to take: listen beginning at the beginning and working your way forward or listening to her more current works or even her original songs.... They're all going to be good and I believe you will love it. Oh, yea, you mentioned "I Put A Spell On You" and you should probably go right ahead and do that one next (be sure to get the black and white studio version). Thanks for your reaction; I will look forward to the next ones!
Listen to Angelina Jordan's Bohemian Rhapsody, I put a spell on you, and her performances on Norway's got Talent where she won at the age of 7....she is an amazing artist.
BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Thank you for discovering and reacting my favourite singer. America's Got Talent The champions was recorded in October 2019 but not released for public view until 6 Jan 2020. So at the time of the performance Angelina would have been 13 years and nine months of age (she was born 10 Jan 2006) My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". What did I see? Well, it was a seven-year-old child, with wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. And that was when the normal perception ended and things turned upside down. She confidently answered the questions put to her by a Judge. Declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and then started singing. The body of the 7-year-old was still there, but the voice wasn't. Or was it? I was surprised then and that surprise is still with me, some six years later. I have followed her career since I saw that first video on TH-cam and in the six years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Avicii, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others. What is more extraordinary is that she takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. You will notice that she never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. And I'll add an even more extraordinary item for you to consider, to show how unique she is. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener. As I have noted above, I have been following her career a long time and have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What stands out for me is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing, once she starts to sing. Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with background music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world. Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions So, here a few recordings for you to consider. age 6 - First visit to a Recording Studio:I who have nothing: th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html age 7 - Norway's Got Talent - First Audition: Gloomy Sunday: th-cam.com/video/8q7MqdFoibI/w-d-xo.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off:I’m a fool to want you th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Semi Final: Bang Bang: th-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Final: Summertime: th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Concert in Sweden - "I'll be there":th-cam.com/video/VJIwvWdoO3o/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Charity Concert: At last: th-cam.com/video/819bQ9I-T-g/w-d-xo.html age 11 - It’s Now or Never - th-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/w-d-xo.html age 10 - Norwegian TV Production: Every time we say goodbye: th-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/w-d-xo.html One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order.Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
It was recorded at October 2019, when she was 13. Now, it would be a good idea to react to "i put a spell on you" (black and white version) when she was 9 years old. In case you are interested, this is Angelina cover channel: th-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanCoverChannel
If you had listen to I Put a Spell On You first a lot of your questions would have been answered. Please check out her first audition on Norway Got Talent. She’s just that gifted. Enjoy.
Happy New Year and thank you for the first beautiful reaction with Angelina, SJ. I really liked this version of the song of hers, so soft, melancholic and slowed down and with those fantastic vocal games that really changed this old Elton John song, even if she started from the version, perhaps not very well known, by Sara Bareilles. From the first time I listened to her, with the lights centralizing her, the just hinted musical carpet (so different from the original song) and her yellow / orange dress perfectly in character, it completely captured me. I have listened to it dozens of times now, but every time I hear it, the emotion assails me again ❤️ ❤️ Angelina is not only what you saw in this fantastic performance, she is much more, even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level, she sang about 130 different songs, including covers, songs written for her and her originals, if they seem enough
She was 9 for I put a spell, but her fame began with Norway's got Talent aged 7-8. You'll be hooked whatever your first exposure is. She'll be 15 on Jan 10 2021.... AGT limits auditions to about 2 minutes, so songs have to be fit into that sort of time frame. She does all her own arrangements. She started at about 1 1/2 yrs old. Yes she writes songs as well.
Scott, You guessed wrong. pull her early stuff including winning Norway's got Talent at age 7, And go from there ..BTW she does all her arraignments. Prodigies cant not be successful without hours of practice
Great reaction! Natural talent is no substitition for practice and hard work, but it makes all the work more fun and rewarding, keeps you motivated and improves the end result - and now you know from a moderately talented musician who put in a moderate amount of work and became moderately good. 😉 None of that moderation applies to the supertalented and hard-working Angelina Jordan. I have no idea (and don’t care about) her commercial “stardom”, but as an artist she’ll be one for the ages.
She won Norway's got talent at age 8 singing “Summertime” and has been singing on a professional level since she was 8. She has over 130 songs on TH-cam including 5 originals and two songs that were written for her to perform. If you keep your word and check out more of her music you will be amazed, and you will inherit her fan base as subscribers.
When you see her version of I put a spell on you--(black and white version) remember that it is her tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins-- sung in his style. She arranges her own music and makes so many of her covers her own. Welcome to the AJ fan club -- you're gonna end every review shaking your head in disbelief (just like we get to watch so many other reviewers do)-- it is so fun to watch!!!
Very nice reaction SJ Orr, Seams like everyone got ahead of me...When i snooze i lose. Big thumbs up to all comments below. I did not see this....her 1st video with mike in hand singing a Whitney Husten song at age 1 1/2. Hope to see lots more from you. Thanks. : )
If you decide to check out "I Put a Spell on You", please check out both the studio at age 9, and the live at age 10. The studio one is just a complete shock because of the style, but my preference is the live one. Angelina is a combination of natural talent, extremely supportive parents and a strong moral and work ethic. She does write songs. Her latest, "Million Miles" is about her late Grandfather. "Shield" is dedicated to her parents. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Angelina Jordan.
Natural talent + hard work = Angelina Jordan
She started to practice at 1 1/2
She started to practice at 1 1/2
When you found Angelina we her fan’s will find you. Being raised on big band music and Jazz, and living through the subsequent changes up to today. I will say there has never been and probably never be another Angelina Jordan Astar. She outperforms most of the past stars of our musical history from the 1930’s to the present. She has an in-ate understanding of the songwriters intent and conveys the meaning directly to the listener. You often find yourself intertwined in her world and wonder how you arrived there. I can Tell by listening to you that you will be another dazed wanderer along with the rest of Angelina’s angles. Welcome to Angelina’s world.
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 after auditioning at the age of 7. She has over 130 covers and several original songs on TH-cam. She is currently 14 years old (15 on 1/10/2021). She recently signed with Republic Records and recently released her first single under that label. That song is titled Million Miles and was written for her late grandfather and dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one.
Angelina always performs barefoot because when she was 6 years old she was on vacation in the Middle East with her grandmother and she met a young girl about her age weighing people on a bathroom scale to make money. Angelina and the girl spoke for a while. It was cold outside and Angelina noticed the girl had no shoes and scars on her feet. Angelina took off her own shoes and gave them to the girl. Angelina has vowed to never where shoes when she performs until all of the world's children have clothes and shoes. Angelina has stayed true to that vow for 8 years.
Angelina has raised millions of dollars for children's charities, has sang at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, and sang for Quincy Jones at his 85th birthday at his request. I consider to be the greatest vocalist of all time, and she is just getting started.
With todays young singers comes belting and a run for the highest notes. With Angelina you get something completely different. You will dig into her soul, and her incredible understanding and feel for music. She is clearly unique, and has no match today in my opinion. Thank you for giving Angelina a chance, SJ, you will continue to be amazed by this young, very gifted girl 👍
Shane you were correct when you said Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy and is the only prodigy I know of that specializes in vocals. With all the natural talent Angelina devotes most of her waking hours to improve. When she performed "I Put a Spell On You" at the age of 9 years 2 months, she showed her genius for arranging songs. Angelina has always created her own arrangements even at age 6. As talented as Angelina Jordan is, she is an even better human being, always performing barefoot and here is the story how that started.
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 promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. 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.
She is deeply intuitive about the music, as you will discover in her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", but she's been devotedly working at her craft since age 5. After regular school she has been attending music & performing arts schools at least since age 6 where the recording of "I Who Have No One" was made. Her family moved to L.A. for school when teachers in Norway said they had nothing more to offer her. But she is gifted in many ways...Her grandparents native languages were Farsi, Japanese (these two lived with her family), and Swedish. She grew up in Norway, and was already reading lyrics in English at 6! She is learning to play piano, guitar, and flute. And where does all that natural compassion come from? Gotta love this girl and pray for her well-being. Thanks for your reaction!
Angelina is a prodigy. She was in the recording studio at age 6 (her first tries) and improved exponentially from there. You can watch her improve from the first song she sang for Norway's Got Talent through the last song she sings. Rusty Shackleford has a chronological list and encourages new reviewers to start at NGT or "I Who Have Nothing" , at age 6, and move forward. She is multi-talented and has no problem singing in front of a large audience.
Great reaction. This was her at 13 years old. Welcome to Angelina's world. Buckle up if you are going to take this ride down the rabbit hole of over 130 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 14 which is her current age. She has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance.
Another thing about Angelina is that she is completely in control of the music she sings. She picks the songs and arranges them herself the way she wants them to be done. In the "I put a spell on you" video, when she was 9 years old, she is seen handing some written notes to the band director. The were her "wishes" about changes she would like in the arrangement.
Since winning Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7, Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 14, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases
This is just a short list that you can select from, and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par. There are four of her original songs in this list that you will love as well.

Phil She won NGT when she was 8.
@@103mrg you are correct. She said she was seven when she was talking to Heidi when she appeared on AGT and she auditioned for NGT when she was seven but by the time the show wrapped she had turned 8.
@@philgaringer9065 Since the show was taped in 2019, had she answered 8, it would have meant she was 14 (and not 13). Either her age winning NGT or her singing BR had to change to make the math work when the show aired in 2020.
She is an amazing singer, period. No "for her age" should ever be attached. Hope you saved some Wows for future listens to Angelina - you will need them.
Angelina is the GOAT...greatest of all time!!!! Joyce in Tahoe
Excellent reaction. Great perception. She was definitely gifted but she has put the work in to hone her craft since she was 6 years old, so at this point she already has honed her craft. She has videos performing in a studio since age 6 and has released over 100 videos since. You will notice jazz influences in nearly every song as jazz is her forte. You will see her sing "Summertime" in one of her performances on Norway's Got Talent at age 8. She performs many of the old time greats like Ella and Billie Holiday and more current jazz artists like Amy Winehouse. She has been arranging all of her songs since 8 years old. She wrote her first song at age 11with "What Is Life" and has a few other originals. You will be amazed watching her growth from 6 years old. Her true talent is how she interprets songs and presents them to the listener, where you FEEL the song. It can be an emotional experience. A good starting point is NGT and I Put A Spell On You (the black and white version). After that you're on your way to a fun ride! Thanks for the genuine reaction and expect many of her followers.
She was 13yo when this was recorded and normaly she make all her arrangements herself - and she has sung songs written for her and has written some of her own.... but lets start at the beginning ;-)
Hi Sean,
welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice and interesting 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 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 - 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...
She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).

2. "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 ...
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
Check out her NGT audition of 'Gloomy Sunday" - at 7 - a ridiculous song for a child to try. She first was called a prodigy after that.
Great reaction 🙏 Always interesting to see someone that’s new to Angelina. Oh yes she has practiced an insane amount. She’s been singing since she was 18 months old. But there is a lot more to her than just practice. Her voice has had that mature quality since her audition on Norway’s Got Talent at 7 (and even before that). And she’s born with some kind of built in confidence. Nothing seems to make her nervous. She composes and arranges songs too. She’s destined to achieve wonderful things 🤩
This is only 1 of her many styles, genre & voices. To me, she's the most incredible vocalist of my lifetime. I know that sounds crazy, but if you listen to 30-40 of her 132 songs on YT, you will begin to understand. She takes old classics & re-arranges them, to make them new & her own. She emotes, or makes you feel the emotion of the lyrics, better than any other singer I've seen. She has 4 originals & her latest, called Million Miles, is the 1st under her new record label. It's about the loss of her grandpa, so it's extremely emotional & I predict it will be nominated for a Grammy next year. It's where she is today (Almost 15), then you should to check out her beginnings at Norway's Got Talent when she was 7-8. She is phenomenal!!! th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html
If you really want to get a sense of how legit this girl is, I always like to recommend that people go back and look at her beginnings... what she was doing at 7 was already incredible, and she just gets better and better as you go through the years. This chronological playlist is very long, so you don't have to check them all, but maybe pick and choose based on the recommends you get.... th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
And you said you wanted more info, so......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 14
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 14 she is just getting started!!!
Welcome to the world of the barefooted princess and jazz queen Angelina Jordan. You have climbed aboard the Aj express pick your stops of 132 songs as of 2020 14 now try
At 9 I Put a Spell on You
What a Difference a Day Makes
The Show Must Go On (Queen cover)
Feeling Good
A Natural Woman
She chops and changes her style, but it’s still her. Do listen to her version of I Put a Spell On You, Black and White version.
Other singers have said the level of control and musicality she has should take decades, so there is definitely talent.
Wait till Rusty contacts you with a wealth of background. You will be going down the road of the millions of AJ fans.
Adding a second comment to provide additional background - At an outdoor concert in Summer 2019 in Prøysenhuset, Norway, Angelina performed a 14 song set. She sang two of her original songs (one twice including the encore), and covered Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse (2), Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Adele, Rihanna, Ella Fitzgerald (2), and Elvis. Each one flawlessly, and her covers were performed with total respect for the original artists. Not copies, but covers respectfully incorporating Angelina's style and interpretation. Outstanding diversity and ability to immerse herself in the music. I'd make recommendations, but think getting to know Angelina (and her 130+ videos) is a personal journey. Have fun.
You just found AJ? Wow fella, you just found probably the greatest singing sensation of our time. She "sings" songs, not screams them, she has a purity and a clarity like no other. A true natural talent already and still only 14yo. Keep looking for her video's - you won't regret it. Great reaction BTW.
Yes summertime. You guessed it . You are really good.. she did it
You can have all the natural talent in the world, but if you don't put in the work, you'll never be truely great. You can put in all the work in the world, but if you don't have talent, you'll never be truely great. There are a precious few that are gifted with a special talent and put in the work to improve that talent that are true artists. I believe Angelina is in that last group.
She has bee doing her own arrangements since at least age 8..
As you learn more about Angelina, you will understand this better - start with an unparalleled voice and musicality, add pinches of the best from a couple dozen vocalists, blend with a deep commitment to her artistry with hours/days/years of hard work and practice, then top with a heart and soul filled incredible empathy = Angelina. Hope to see you explore more of her.
Thank you for reacting to Angelina and welcome to the rabbit hole 😃
Concerning talent / practice: Angelina knows exactly what she wants when it comes to music. She invested a lot of hard work developing her skills beginning from a young age. I think talent in combination with practice and strict will can result such a singer like Angelina.
Stay safe!
This arrangement was actually from Sara Bereilles (th-cam.com/video/eAti8JNmJi8/w-d-xo.html). Angelina's initial performance on AGT was her own arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and she went on to perform Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Love" for the final exhibition performance on the show. She also has a recent original release through her new record company (Republic Records) called " Million Miles". There is a lyric version (th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html) and a live studio version (th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html).
She has 132 different songs on TH-cam ranging from well before she won Norway's Got Talent in 2014 at the age of 8 up to the present. Realize that you need to hear 30 or 40 of them to get a true sense of her vocal capability; don't fall into the trap of thinking that after listening to this you know how she sings.
Yes, she has incredible natural talent, but I doubt if you can find anyone that has put as much work into her singing as she has. Go to my link for some playlists of many of her rehearsals.
She has already performed all over the world, for heads of state, royalty, and the biggest names on the music industry; she performed for the Nobel Peace Prize winners shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent. She has been in front of crowds of up to 40,000 and help raise 10s of millions of dollars for a host of charities.
Excellent contribution and wonderful musical arrangement. Angelina, as always, does "retouch" Sara's arrangement at a work of art level added to the abysmal voice difference between the two (Sara Bareilles has a very beautiful voice, let's say it's another level). Angelina's musical arrangement over Sara's is up to I could say symphony orchestra level
Just a short bio
She started singing at the age of one and a half
Was on TH-cam at 3 looking for all the old Jazz greats.
Age 5 was rehearsing
Age 6 In studio recording Tom Jones I Who Have Nothing
Age 7 Audition for Norway Got Talent won it all at age 8
Became the youngest published author in Norways history.
Has performed in front of Nobel Peace Prize Winner,
A Prince and even President Obama
She has coloberated with artist like Quincy Jones,Mark Ronson, Alln Walker and many more.
She has over a 130 videos on TH-cam
2 Albumi
4 originals What Is live,Oslo Shilde and her newest is Million Miles
In October she signed with Republic Records and November she released her first single since signing with Republic Records Million Miles
She has over 900 million views on TH-cam last I checked.
And over 2 Billion veiws on Facebook.
My opinion Angelina will go down as the greatest singer of the 21 century.
So I hope you jump down the Anglina Jordon Rabbit hole and be surprised of the journey she will take you on
And oh yes this is a short bio
Great Reaction Stay Safe 😀
And you just picked up a new subscriber.
And many many more will follow
I believe she started vocal training at the age of 3 or 4 according to Angelina.
Congratulations on discovering one of the greatest vocalists of all time IMO..you no doubt think this is an extreme statement at this point and that would be understandable..I’ll wager in time, you seem to have a good music ear, you will come to an agreement that indeed she is almost beyond comparison..as important she’s also a hugely committed humanitarian..she has raised millions for charity and works tirelessly to alleviate suffering where she can..I’m in awe of the person she is as much as her insane talent. Great reaction and subscribed)) check out Million Miles live version which is her latest release..
Please check out, Summertime, her winning performance on 2014 Norway’s Got Talent when she was 8 years old.
She's actually 13 here.
She definitely makes the most of this Sara Bareilles arrangement. I believe most of her other covers that have a clearly different arrangement than the original or most popular version are largely, if not exclusively, her own arrangements. Ones of particular note are Bohemian Rhapsody, which she also performed at AGT, I Put A Spell On You (Black & White Version), California Dreaming, Wicked Game, Wake Me Up- tribute to Avicii, Natural Woman- tribute to Aretha Franklin, Happier. For many of these she strips down the accompaniment and slows down the tempo. These are just a few examples. No matter which arrangement she chooses for any given song, she uses her voice to bring out the meaning and emotions of the lyrics in a way that others simply cannot match. Of course you'll want to check out her originals that others have mentioned. Enjoy your Angelina journey!
She was 13 and her arrangement she is a prodigy check her AGT Bohemanan rapsidy Great reaction
Great reaction, Yes this was her own arrangement, she does so on all her covers , she was just 13 at this time but the video was not released until after she turned 14. She is a natural singer and she writes her own songs and often directs those playing music for her and always with a very humble spirit.. Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice.
Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 14 years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html )
She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song.
she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background:
(Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkth-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing

Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert.
When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 14 years as of Jan. 10 ,2020. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
Genesis 37:3
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours
Clyde Her vocal range is slightly less than 3 1/2 octaves; not 5.

absolutely love Angelina singing this song... but... she did not claim to be the original for this version
super talented Sara Bareilles - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road should get the credit for that...
@@charlesmiller6510 nor did I make that claim, but Angelina's while in the style of Sara's is different and not copy of hers, and is much more emotional and jazzy than Sara's, again, Angelina always takes a song to a new emotional and vocal artistic level.
@@103mrg I believe it's closer to 4 1/2 octaves if I'm not mistaken.
@@todradmaker4297 Well, if you can't provide some evidence, then I'm afraid you are mistaken.
Yes she does Summertime.
I imagine she puts in long hours every day to reach this level. She certainly has a gift, but gifts need to be nurtured. From where I’m sitting, Angelina has done a wonderful job.
It's always a special moment to watch someone discovering Angelina for the first time.
I'll be looking forward to your next reaction to her.
Check out the four songs she sang in Norway’s got talent and you will be at a loss for words. She is so very talented! Remember she was 7 years of age.
Hi there SJ. Enjoyed your reaction and comments and understand your surprise. Probably we are in front of the best young female singers in the world music panorama now. Probably the best jazz singer right now. If i may, i suggest you to check her performing live at any age. For sure you will appreciate her rendipgo tje great jazz standards like " cry me a river". In AGT she got Heidi's golden buzzer with an epic version of " Bohemian Rapsody" "that got her directly to the finals. Recently she released a new masterpiece, " million miles " under Republic records label. If you are going to listen it my suggestion is for the studio version but even the official lyrics video is great. Cheers and stay safe
I subscribe for lots more Angelina Jordan reaction.. Thank you SJ Orr for your wonderful reaction.
Take the journey with Angelina. She will provide you with a deeply soul-satisfying experience. You'll never look at music the same way.
speaking of SUmmertime, she sang that song to win the Norway Got Talent competition when she was 8 years old. A magnificent cover.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th of this year, and I have listened to her every day since. For me, she is the most moving and the most versatile singer I've ever heard. Here is her performance of Summertime on Norway's Got Talent at age 8: th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html
Welcome aboard the Angelina Jordan hypnotic train...
U just reacted to future living legend 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙
Hearing her sing especially when she was 8 years old at Norway Got Talent you actually start to believe in reincarnation. I put a spell on you is unbelievable especially when you think she was just 9 years old there. To see little child with voice and ability to interpret a jazz song making you believe you hear someone with the maturity in at least their 40s is mind-blowing.
"Really, really incredible!" sums it up nicely. When you like what you do, it's not work. Nature and nurture work together. She works hard to continue to improve her innate capabilities. I Put a Spell on You at age 9 is exceptional. Norway's Got Talent at 7/8 is spectacular, especially, for me, Summertime (age 8). Ella cover, Every Time We Say Goodbye, is Ella good! Bohemian Rhapsody was her first song on AGT-- an astounding arrangement of that iconic song (age 13). So many more. You will get long lists. Go where you will.Her recent (and first Republic Records) single, Million Miles has both a lyric video and live studio version. The latter is a bit more emotional, but both are great. I hope you carry on with Angelina. She is a treasure!! Thanks for this reaction.
Nice reaction and welcome.. she does ella fitzgerald also.. and she uses different tones with different genres..
Go back to her winning Norways Got Talent and decide if this is god given natural talent...watch all the performances at age 7-8 and you may find an answer to that. Great reaction. The Angel has millions of fans so consider doing more reactions. Rusty Shackleford has a chronological list on his YT site of all her music.
Though Angie's usually doing her own arrangement coices, this arrangement is from an earlier cover by Sarah Bareilles.
You instincts are about right, she's not 14 in this. She was in fact only only 13 ;-)
The show has been pre-recorded in October 2019.
I think there's one thing that is simply talent which is conveying emotions. Very few singer can do that.
"I put a Spell on you" is the right way to go next to get some impression of her early raw talent. The first performance is the definitive one: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
That one still drives vocal coaches into a fit due to the shortcuts she had to take with her vocals at age of 9. Consequently she toned it down a lot in later performances of that song to protect her voice.
And yes she's writing her own music, 4 originals so far. We expect her first album out of her recent label deal with Republic Records to be landing soon. She's already stormed Norways Itunes charts with her latest song. And yes, she did several versions of Summertime - all the way from a simple guitarre backing to a full symphonic orchestra.
Sarah's version is nothing like Angelina's version. I just listened to both back to back a few times and there's no resemblance.
Hi Shane! So happy you found Angelina 😊
There's not much I can add to what my fellow Angelina fans already said regarding her innate understanding of music, her unique voice, her career, her professionalism, her charity work, and her caring and humble personality.Because there's so much about Angelina Jordan to learn, she is like an onion with many, many layers to discover.
There's one thing I would like to say is that she is a storyteller with an unbelievable ability to take the listener on a journey with each song she performs. As one of the AGT judges said, she hypnotizes you with her voice and presence and gets directly to your heart never to leave.
Now you may think this is an exaggeration from a fan but once you start exploring everything she's done since she was a little child, you'll remember my words.
So, my wish for you for the coming year is, have a great journey and experience following Angelina Jordan's steps 😉😊
Bro you should’ve heard her at nine years old when she saying I put a spell on you studio recording. She won Norway’s got talent when she was seven years old. Do you have an even touch the tip of the iceberg yet, she is quite possibly the best female vocalist on the planet right now, no joke. She always performs barefoot because when she was six years old she met another little girl without shoes who was homeless, she gave her her shoes and told her she would never perform again wearing shoes until all the children of the world had shoes. She does charity work And has performed at the Nobel peace prize concert.
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 (130+ covers and original songs - all on YT) and you will see! It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Billie Holiday to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Queen to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Etta James to Amy Winehouse to Miley Cyrus (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 started here with Sara Bareilles cover of this Elton John classic and added some AJ "flavorings".
She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of studio professional musicians or an 50 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. She recently signed with Republic Records.
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. React to more of her impressive library of work (already at the ripe age of 14yo)! You won't be sorry. Begin with her younger work when she won Norway's Got Talent (started at 7, won at 8yo). "Gloomy Sunday", "I'm a Fool to Want you (a cappella), "Bang Bang", and Gershwin's "Summertime " for the win are all astounding. A must stop is her rendition of "I Put a Spell on You" at 9yo. It is possibly the most astounding 3 minutes on YT. Later classics like "Feeling Good" (10yo) and " A Man's World" (12yo) are required listening. You'll soon see that she can sing about anything and you will want to hear every phrase and note. Be warned, she is addicting, not that anyone really minds! Welcome aboard the AJ train!
Try listening to " Everytime We Say Goodbye " from a tv program in Norway. She was 11 yo.

As a huge Billie Holiday fan, I've waited a long time for a voice like Angelina's. Thanks for the thoughtful presentation. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you, Shane, for your great first reaction to Angelina. There are many other comments here that will give you excellent information about her. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! That’s what TH-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
Remember English is not her first language on top of everything else....
My friend, I've watched her sing this song at least 1,000 times and watching your reaction to her is actually bringing tears to my eyes. Angelina is a very special person. Very special.
Start at Norway s got talent and her first audition. I'm a fool to want you (a Capella) to get into the show then Gloomy Sunday, Summertime (Billy Holiday) and also Bang Bang. All won her the show..... Since she has been in many many jazz festivals and concerts around Europe. She loved Jazz so much I would think both Natural and work. and most importantly the love of singing. She write her own songs. (Million Miles most recent) and as for the arrangements. All of her arrangements are her own. She tells the musicians what she wants and of course they comply. She also have fab. musicians.
Hi Shane! I am an Angelina Addict for six years now. I am NOT seeking a cure. Yes! Summertime would be a great next reaction. Either that or "Feelin' Good" when she was 8. Angelina credits Billie Holiday as her main source of inspiration throughout her career. Subscribed. Hope to see more. As a fan of golf, I appreciate the Tiger reference and it is quite accurate. Happy new year.
Welcome to the World of Angelina. I'm excited to watch your journey and hear what you think about this amazing talent.
check out "million miles", her first release with her new label.
There's a short video of Angelina on TH-cam where she's singing along to Whitney Houston at age 18 months. A baby humming Whitney Houston. In key. - Yup, I'm pretty sure nobody had taught her how to do that at that stage. ;-)
She won Norway's Got Talent at 8yo
She has two videos of Summer Time- one from Norway's Got Talent 2014 at age 8 and in 2016 with KORK at age 10. Both times her approach is similar to that of Ella Fitzgerald, but each performance is significantly different from the other. It'd be worth your time to do a double reaction.
My favorite of hers in the Ella cycle is Every Time We Say Goodbye- roof top performance on TV2.
Her biggest influence according to her is Billie Holiday. She first received world wide attention at NGT by singing Gloomy Sunday at age 7. Another double reaction suggestion is Angelina's I'm A Fool to Want You- at NGT (a capella no less!) and the studio recording at age 10 I believe. You can find all of these on Rusty Shackleford's channel.
With Angelina comes subscribers. There is a growing title wave of world believers in this barefooted superstar. Birthday 15 in January
She won Norways got talent at 7 years old. She left judges in tears with her audition with Gloomy Sunday.
Music is in Angelina's blood.☺️ Her passion for music is unmatched.
Angelina Jordan came to prominence when she won Norway's got Talent at age 7. She's an Amazing Singer, love her voice, and her singing!
Simply Perfect!!!! Listen to a lot of Angelina to get to know our 1000 voiced Angel!
Her initial inspirations were Billie Holliday & Ella Fitzgerald.
It sounds like you're ready to go down the rabbit hole and never get out! Angelina has over 130 cover songs on TH-cam and five originals. She can sing any genre but her forte is jazz and soul. Many of her songs reflect the classics. She is truly a singer of 1,000 voices!
Angelina is a gifted prodigy and there are songs online from Norway's Got Talent starting at 7 years old. She actually started singing at one and a half! she is also put in a lot of hard work in addition to her natural gift. There is no other singer like her in the world currently.
By the way, please keep reacting to Angelina songs as the fan base is very large and loyal and will keep coming back and subscribing. Here is a playlist courtesy of Rusty Shackleford.
th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Welcome to AJ rabbit hole! 132 covers on You Tube, 4 originals (& counting). Signed w/Republic Records in 2020. 15 y.o. next month.
You have now heard one of the best musical talents in the world today. Keep listening to more and you'll likely fall in love with her voice and her style! There are several avenues to take: listen beginning at the beginning and working your way forward or listening to her more current works or even her original songs.... They're all going to be good and I believe you will love it. Oh, yea, you mentioned "I Put A Spell On You" and you should probably go right ahead and do that one next (be sure to get the black and white studio version). Thanks for your reaction; I will look forward to the next ones!
Listen to Angelina Jordan's Bohemian Rhapsody, I put a spell on you, and her performances on Norway's got Talent where she won at the age of 7....she is an amazing artist.
Because God put her here so that He could listen to her I would say that she is supernatural.
BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Thank you for discovering and reacting my favourite singer.
America's Got Talent The champions was recorded in October 2019 but not released for public view until 6 Jan 2020. So at the time of the performance Angelina would have been 13 years and nine months of age (she was born 10 Jan 2006)
My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". What did I see? Well, it was a seven-year-old child, with wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. And that was when the normal perception ended and things turned upside down. She confidently answered the questions put to her by a Judge. Declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and then started singing. The body of the 7-year-old was still there, but the voice wasn't. Or was it? I was surprised then and that surprise is still with me, some six years later.
I have followed her career since I saw that first video on TH-cam and in the six years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Avicii, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others. What is more extraordinary is that she takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. You will notice that she never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. And I'll add an even more extraordinary item for you to consider, to show how unique she is. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener.
As I have noted above, I have been following her career a long time and have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What stands out for me is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing, once she starts to sing.
Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with background music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world.
Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions
So, here a few recordings for you to consider.

One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order.Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
Angelina's voice is SOOO good it makes me wonder if she from earth 🤔, or from another planet 👽.
Funny you should mention "Summertime".
It was recorded at October 2019, when she was 13.
Now, it would be a good idea to react to "i put a spell on you" (black and white version) when she was 9 years old.
In case you are interested, this is Angelina cover channel: th-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanCoverChannel
She is absolutely outstanding
Here her sing feeling good and summertime Angelina Jordan and gloomy Sunday
Got to listen to Mary's boy child.by Angelina jordon world class the barefoot princess
Listen to her mic after the applause starts. You will hear her giggle. It is incredible. She giggled. I love her. She is so so special.
You can train your voice - but understanding jazz the way she does- that is pure gift
Her voice is a gift from God. To make it sound like that takes work, dedication and exceptional passion.
If you had listen to I Put a Spell On You first a lot of your questions would have been answered. Please check out her first audition on Norway Got Talent. She’s just that gifted. Enjoy.
thank you for reacting to Angelina
Happy New Year and thank you for the first beautiful reaction with Angelina, SJ. I really liked this version of the song of hers, so soft, melancholic and slowed down and with those fantastic vocal games that really changed this old Elton John song, even if she started from the version, perhaps not very well known, by Sara Bareilles. From the first time I listened to her, with the lights centralizing her, the just hinted musical carpet (so different from the original song) and her yellow / orange dress perfectly in character, it completely captured me. I have listened to it dozens of times now, but every time I hear it, the emotion assails me again ❤️ ❤️
Angelina is not only what you saw in this fantastic performance, she is much more, even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level, she sang about 130 different songs, including covers, songs written for her and her originals, if they seem enough
She was 9 for I put a spell, but her fame began with Norway's got Talent aged 7-8. You'll be hooked whatever your first exposure is. She'll be 15 on Jan 10 2021.... AGT limits auditions to about 2 minutes, so songs have to be fit into that sort of time frame. She does all her own arrangements. She started at about 1 1/2 yrs old. Yes she writes songs as well.
I've just subscribed and I'll be looking for other reaction to any of A.J's covers or originals. Keep'em comin'!
Love that WOW moment first time listeners have.
Scott, You guessed wrong. pull her early stuff including winning Norway's got Talent at age 7, And go from there ..BTW she does all her arraignments. Prodigies cant not be successful without hours of practice
She won Norway's got talent at age 7, golden buzzer on AGT Champions at 13 singing Bohemian Rhapsody.
She's just so great I'm lost for words she's the best singer I heard in so long I'm just amazed at her songs her voice I'm shocked
She's natrual
Great reaction! Natural talent is no substitition for practice and hard work, but it makes all the work more fun and rewarding, keeps you motivated and improves the end result - and now you know from a moderately talented musician who put in a moderate amount of work and became moderately good. 😉 None of that moderation applies to the supertalented and hard-working Angelina Jordan. I have no idea (and don’t care about) her commercial “stardom”, but as an artist she’ll be one for the ages.
She won Norway's got talent at age 8 singing “Summertime”
and has been singing on a professional level since she was 8. She has over 130 songs on TH-cam including 5 originals and two songs that were written for her to perform. If you keep your word and check out more of her music you will be amazed, and you will inherit her fan base as subscribers.
When you see her version of I put a spell on you--(black and white version) remember that it is her tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins-- sung in his style. She arranges her own music and makes so many of her covers her own. Welcome to the AJ fan club -- you're gonna end every review shaking your head in disbelief (just like we get to watch so many other reviewers do)-- it is so fun to watch!!!
This and her brilliant arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody is a must-listen. Love her new original Million Miles, preferring the live version.
Very nice reaction SJ Orr, Seams like everyone got ahead of me...When i snooze i lose. Big thumbs up to all comments below. I did not see this....her 1st video with mike in hand singing a Whitney Husten song at age 1 1/2. Hope to see lots more from you. Thanks. : )
If you decide to check out "I Put a Spell on You", please check out both the studio at age 9, and the live at age 10.
The studio one is just a complete shock because of the style, but my preference is the live one.
Angelina is a combination of natural talent, extremely supportive parents and a strong moral and work ethic.
She does write songs. Her latest, "Million Miles" is about her late Grandfather.
"Shield" is dedicated to her parents.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Angelina Jordan.
