I agree about watching her latest video, "Suspicious Minds", and you will have seen almost her full spectrum. Then go back and fill in the blanks, starting with her Norway's Got Talent performances when she was 7-8. There's no right or wrong way to view everything of hers in between; just know that every performance will be amazing and you will soon be at a loss for words. Thanks for reacting to Angelina!
Bohemian Rhapsody is extraordinary, but not unusual. Angelina will change your mind about how great a singer can be across so many genres. You’ve heard two songs-different styles, but both arranged by Angelina at age 9 and 13, and you’ve been amazed. There are dozens more, and it doesn’t matter what age you choose. You can go chronologically, or by genre, or by song titles you like. It doesn’t matter. Angelina combines raw vocal talent that you’ve never seen before in a child with unique musicality (that you noted today), and she has done that since age seven. Jump to right now and watch her cover of Suspicious Minds or My Funny Valentine. At 16, her voice will stun you. Then just start listening to anything she’s done. She’s that good.
Love your analysis.Wait until you see what she has done with Elvis's "Suspicious Minds" and Michael Jackson "Billie Jean". The girl is a genius with her interpretation of classic songs.🙂
@@ronraskind G'day Ron. Of course, everything Angelina does is amazing, but it blows me away how she can pull these classic songs apart, then takes the bits she needs and comes up with song that is so different, but pays so much respect to the original. 🙂
Angelina did arrange her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody! In fact, Brian May reached out to her, to tell her how wonderful her version was, and gave her Queen's blessing, to copyright her arrangement. He also said that Freddie would have loved it! Angelina won Norway's Got talent in 2014, at the age of 7! Her B&W cover of 'I put a spell on you,at the age of 9 with Angelina doing her own arrangements, (since she was 7 years old) is just crazy. In this video, the page the gentleman is holding at the beginning, is actually her handwritten notes laying out what she expects from everyone. In studio, they playfully call her the "Little Boss". Only her grandmother is present, other than the studio crew. On the candle she holds up, is Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He wrote it, and performed it originally. Nina Simone later covered it. 😆💕 Angelina has sung barefoot, except for rehearsals, since age 6 in remembrance of an orphan girl near her age that she met on the street in the middle east. The girl was using bathroom scales and weighing people for money. It was cold, she was barefoot, and her feet were scarred. They chatted about their dreams, and she asked Angelina what her dream was. Of course, Angelina said she wanted to be a singer, and sing for the whole world, and asked the girl about her dream. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor, but that was not possible because she had siblings to care for, and she wished Angelina luck in becoming a singing star, and she told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina, on the spot, gave her the sea green boots, her favorites, that she was wearing and told her to never give up on her dreams, called her a “princess” and that she would always remember her. Angelina wrote in her diary that day, “…to be able to do something for another human, it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really.” Angelina, at 9, became Norway's youngest author when she wrote a book about it, "Mellom to hjerter" ("Between Two Hearts"). Angelina promised herself never to wear shoes when performing again until there were no more children around the world without shoes, clothing, or family. In her book Angelina says, “In respect for you and all children like you, and that you prayed to God, today I walk barefoot on cold floors in front of so many people and sing. This book is for you little princess. You’re like sunshine! I remember and remember you every day.” Angelina has raised many millions of Euros and Dollars around the world performing at charity concerts since age 8. So, to this day, almost 9 years later, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. NGT Judge Mia Gundersen called Angelia’s voice, “a gift from the universe.” To me, the true gift to us all is Angelina herself. Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far: Adele, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. 😊✌
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen . Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗
Great reaction. You must experience the following: My Funny Valentine from Valentine's Day 22, and Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley Cover) that came out 6 days ago.
I don't know who's decision it was to cut out Heidi giving her the golden buzzer but eventually you'll learn about the controversy about the finals too. I don't know if they are related but the version on my HD has Heidi pressing the golden buzzer.
All the songs that are suggested here in the comments are great ,another song she shows her skill is my funny valentine ,she is a genius at reinterpreting songs .she never hides from the biggest songs or the biggest stars . Enjoyed your reaction and subscribed
Angelina is known as the "Girl With 1000 Voices" for a good reason. You've heard 2, so 998 to go. Yes, her vocals have gotten stronger & more controlled over the years, but she seems to have the ability to change her vocals to perfectly match what a song requires. I can't tell you how many times reactors have said "her voice is perfect for this song" as if to say she has a particular type of voice that only fits certain songs. It usually takes hearing 20-30 songs from different eras, styles & genre to realize she has the ability to adjust her voice to any song. I have never seen any vocalist, male or female, with her versatility in my 75 years. Now, at 16 she is the best I've ever seen & I can't imagine what she will sound like in 10 years when her vocal ability will be fully developed. I just hope I'm still here to hear it. The jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, has been recorded by all the greats (600+ vocalists) & her version is the most beautiful I've ever heard. th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html Or, if you want to see another transformation of a classic song like her Bohemian Rhapsody, then check out her most recent cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds. She made it into a totally different song from the original. Both were done when she was 16. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Like you, Keith, when she did "MFV", I said that's her best performance. And for showing the many aspects of her voice, I still see that as the best. But what she has done with "Suspicious Minds" is beyond anything she has done before (IMO). When she opened with the bridge of the song with so much volume and richness in her voice, I almost stopped breathing. It is one of the best things I have ever heard musically. I've probably heard it a 100 times now, and it still blows me away each time. The entire performance, including the piano arrangement, is breathe taking, but the opening is other worldly. And I don't think she sounded like anyone but Angelina. This is the voice she will be known for. And it can't happen soon enough for me. A MASTERPIECE!!!
She made this one her own to the degreea that The Queen people straight out was so amazed as well, they gave her all rights for her version, and she made a studiorecording of it immedialtely. I feel sure you`ll be as amazed even for her performances at the NGT (Norwegian Talents show) from 2014 as she was 7 and 8 years old. Looking very much forward to follow this journey of yours 🤗
Jeff, You are now an official Angelina Jordan Fan, she calls her Angels! I agree with your analysis of her interpretation of this and all her musical arrangements. As you continue on her Journey she will amaze you as she has all of her Angels followers!
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed they allowed Angelina to copyright her version - she recorded it and it is available on several music streaming services - it's great because she gets the money :)
A great early contrast from age 7 is her version of Bang Bang. It’s unreal. Skipping ahead she released a new version of My Funny Valentine on Feb 2022 . Also her release of Yellow Brick Road on AGT at age 13. You have to remember she has a major hand in the arrangement and production of every performance and has from the beginning. I think what seperates her from the fray is that she is truly an artist not only a great vocalist.
If you think this is good, wait till you hear her at her current age of 16. Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan
I’ve viewed your 3-4 videos on Angelina, not completely in order, but the outcomes are the same, you like other ‘reactors’ and ordinary folks all over the world find Angelina to be utterly spellbinding, a true artist, unique and so genuine and humble. I guess my input is it’s not what she does that’s the most amazing thing, and she does it very, very well, it’s how she makes you feel when she does it, and that is unique, so personal and beyond priceless. I’m a fan of hers for life now, hope I get to see her perform live once before my time is up…. in the meantime I can listen every day to an Angel who touches souls.
It did change her life and her career shortly thereafter she was signed buy Republic records she has been designated as their top up and coming artist he made her song at 7th Heaven collaborating with Beyoncé Ariana Grande and Sam Smith who are also covered by Republic are the reactors told you to listen to her Suspicious Mind also listen to her redoing Bohemian Rhapsody at age 16 in Norway she also read that I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston in Norway I think she's going to be a superstar but if she doesn't want to be a superstar she could be a supermodel she is so beautiful thanks for the reaction
Nice to see you again so soon... I'm all in for Angelina Jordan. I haven't stopped watching and listening since I started about 6 months back. Every day I tell you... Help me. lol She just recently sang this song live this week Live at 16 years old in Norway. Also amazing, with a touch more age and experience behind her.
👍👍 I feel that your going to say that she sounds different in all her covers & original's cuz they are all different vocal styles but one thing that's constant is her velvety richness in her vocals,,, 👣🌬🌎
She was 13 years old. AGT:Champions 2 aired weekly in January-February 2020 but was not live. The show was pre-taped in a short time frame from October 3, 2019 to October 21, 2019. Since it was not live, viewers did not vote, but 50 unknown "Superfans" did during the taping. One "Superfan" per US state. Angelina didn't win, she didn't even finish in the top 5. All the top 5 already had a contract with one of Simon Cowell's companies, unlike Angelina. In August 2020, it was announced that she had signed with Republic Records.
You ain't heard nothing yet. She released her cover of 'Suspicious Minds' just a couple days ago. She took Elvis's song,. Made it hers without changing so much you wouldn't recognize it. The video aesthetics are captivating. She's dressed in black leather and playing the red electric guitar Elvis played in his 1968 comeback concert.
Angelina you will find is a musical savant. She hears music in a way that is foreign to most people. She has changed a bit since we saw her as a nine yr.old. One thing is she stands 6'1" now. This her arrangement and she did such a good job that Brian May the lead guitarist for Queen, said they were very impressed with this arrangement and even allowed Angelina to copyright her arrangement. It is funny you mentioned TikTok because my personal favorite performance is on that site. I'll give you the link. It is Angelina's best overall performance to me. I believe it is her true authentic voice that she will have to refine it, but the way it is well that's pretty good.
This rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody was the first time I heard Angelina sing, which was on January 6th, 2020. I was blown away, and her performance launched me on a magical journey of discovery that continues to this day. I have listened to her every day now for two and a half years. I will also recommend that you listen to her recently released cover of Suspicious Minds, it is truly jaw-dropping: th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
You have just experienced a MASTERPIECE by a 13-year-old parodical genius that will stand the annals of all time, this girl is destined to be the greatest STORYTELLING vocalist of our time
The show was, but all of AGT The Champions performances were recorded in the latter part of Oct 2019, and then went out in Jan/Feb 2020. She had 10 mill views in a week! She certainly landed in USA.
She was 13 years old. To add to Mrs. TIu's comment. AGT:Champions 2 aired weekly in January-February 2020 but was not live. The show was pre-taped in a short time frame from October 3, 2019 to October 21, 2019. Since it was not live, viewers did not vote, but 50 unknown "Superfans" did during the taping.

You were great! What a fantastic , genuine reaction to her performance. A picture is worth a thousand words and your facial expressions, and the gulp you took during the song showed us how strongly you felt for her and her arrangement. Thank you very much and I look forward to more Angelina reactions from you.
She's a "different singer" for every song, as you will discover. She has had her own "voices" since birth, not one voice that has changed over time. An 83 year old non-musical person, I first started listening to her when she won NGT, and have continued to follow her every day since then. My favorite vision: as she was born, she stuck out a tiny hand, the delivery nurse put a microphone in it, and she sang a full voice version of "Born Free."
Angelina absolutely amazing performance 13 years old, Angelina received the Golden Buzzer for this performance and straight to the final, Angelina is a musical genius and arranges everything she sings, and makes it her own and sometimes better than the original ! Angelina has a thousand different voices and can sing anything!
I suggest you react to Angelina Jordan "I'm still holding out for you" A totaly different song to the two you have listened to so far. It is a modern song that should have been or may be her first hit single but they were still wanting her to go through school at the time it was recorded; as she was 9 years old, and too young to start a full time professional career at the time. And this song would catapult her in to the charts. Some have speculated that the subject matter could be miss interpreted and the themes were quite adult but no more than Bohemian Rhapsody or I Put A Spell On You. A beautiful performance and so different from everything else she was doing at the time. I think they may re-release it, now she is older and starting her professional career.
This performance has been viewed (not including reactions) over 140 million times on TH-cam and I say that is very much undervalued. It should be in the billions. Great analysis of how Angelina plays with the melody. Vocal coaches have said she sings around the melody. Angelina has concerts in Norway on July 1, 7 and 10 and can't wait to see videos. Angelina just posted a IG video practicing House of the Rising Sun. OMG Every Angelina angel wants and believes Angelina's music should be promoted. We know her family has requested Angelina be allowed as normal a childhood as possible and should finish her schooling. I think that is very wise. I like to believe her family is working with Republic Records on a promotion strategy, to fully promote her while at the same time not to overwhelm Angelina. We don't want, what has happened to so many, her to shoot up in popularity only to have her star burn out. Angelina is a rare talent. I like to believe she is a once in forever musical artist and I put my faith in her loving family to know when the time is right to allow Republic to fully promote her. Our patience will be greatly rewarded.
Love your reaction! Your comment and analysis is spot-on. Everything you say about Angelina’s ability to change the song, while not deviating from the original song’s recognition is displayed in SPADES with her new cover that was released one week ago. You MUST do a reaction and analysis of Elvis’ “Suspicious Minds”. The improvement in EVERYTHING you discussed… since her performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody “… will blow your doors off once again! 🖤👣
I enjoy your Industry expert analysis. Your ear and appreciation for talent is wonderful follow. I have been watching your Aurora reactions too. Before going back to Angelina's Norway's got talent and a whole list in between, I think you should let your mind be blown with her "Suspicious Minds" cover just dropped this last week. It is drenched in mesmerizing talent and feeling. Soooo Good!
I don't know if you're ready for I'm still holding out for you in my opinion that is her best song that she has sung even better than I put a spell on you
Angelina is an extraordinary singer. Everything you said about this song also applies to her new song. Just much much better. Angelina has reached a new level with her new Elvis cover. I think Angelina even skipped some levels. It's amazing how much better she's gotten over the past few years. You should not miss that. The first song you heard from her she was 9 years old and 13 years old in this one. So it's certainly good to jump forward a good 3 years - into the present. - Angelina Jordan - Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley Cover) - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany
Lovely reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 Your first comment was that you liked how she re-imagined the song. She always adds her own twist to the songs she covers, and sometimes its even a completely new song, like you just heard. California Dreaming, Billie Jean and Suspicious Minds are a few that comes to mind, that she just flipped upside down. Not everyone 'gets it' on the first listen, and if its a dear song to you, the changes she does might be too much. But all 3 of these are absolutely brilliant, and good examples of her talent at rearanging songs. My favorite of hers might be 'Stay' by Rihanna, but ask me tomorrow and its probably something else. Chose any song, and you will probably like it. But I will say one thing about Angelina - After hearing a few songs, you might think that you got a grasp of her talent, her voice and her style. Well, you dont. Even with your musical background, you probably need to hear 20-30 of her performances to fully grasp how incredibly talented this young girl is 🌹
I know I'm very late here, but I had to respond to your comment about how she's "a different singer" at this age than when she was 9. My literal response as I was watching the video was to say, out loud, "She already _was_ a different singer, back then!" By which I mean, what you heard from her at that age (studio version of "I Put a Spell on You") is so different from almost everything else she's ever done, that it really doesn't give a "reliable" picture of what kind of a singer she was back then. I mean, sure, it showcases "some of the things she could do" at that age, but it's not at all representative of "the kind of things she _typically_ did" (at any age!). Of course, I don't blame you for trying to make a comparison based on the only two "data points" you had to go on… but I'm just saying, you are likely to have to significantly alter your perspective on what she was like when she was younger the next time you hear something from when she was younger.🙂 I'll just leave it at that, since you've already posted another AJ reaction ("Suspicious Minds").
Great observations. I enjoyed your reaction. You really need to check out Angelina’s most recent cover of “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley. It’s another example of how she changes the melody and creates a masterpiece from a classic pop/rock song. I think you’ll love it. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your reaction. I feel that you might like to check out one (or two?) of her performances of Fly Me To The Moon. I recommend the one from The View (aged 8) and also the one from the Quincey Jones birthday concert (aged 13). Same song, but you can really hear her development.
If no one has suggested this yet, watch "The Show Must Go On"! Queen apparently loves her version of that song as well. Your podcast comments are cool. Angelina is the barefoot princess of voice.😊
lol, you said she's a different singer to you in this performance than she was in the other one.... lol, just you wait. She is MANY different singers. I agree with the approach of going through her Norway's Got Talent performances and don't miss out on her renditions of Whitney Houston, Adele and Lana Del Reye's Born to Die... With any of these songs but Del Reye's in particular if you've not heard the original listen to it first because Angelina absolutely OWNS it. But then she often owns the songs she sings, performing them better than the original artist. Another little treat that isn't "perfect" but absolutely amazing is to go back to when she was 6.... yes, 6, and singing I Have Nothing. It's really unbelievable a baby has such pipes.
She is changing the concept of what a beautiful song is. In addition she captures the spirit and the feeling in the lyrics. I never heard the original song. Queen was not my cup of tea
Angelina Jordan is on a Summer Concert Tour of Norway right now - check out how her Bohemian Rhapsody sounds now at age 16: th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
@@StrateleStudios You might want to check out Angelina doing a completely different style from the same concert: th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this beautiful and interesting reaction. This interpretation of her is simply exceptional, beyond as for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic song in a more intimate key and for the intensity of her interpretation, at only 13 years old! This is a splendid example of Angelina's amazing and unique work, with her we are amazed by the by her voice, the breath control and splendid technique, that one does not adequately appreciate her amazing intelligence and the musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms in her interpretations, the great songs she loves so much. 💛🧡❤️ If you like this is her last beautiful version of four days ago in concert in Norway. th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
"Suspicious Minds" is her latest release! th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html It to, will blow your mind, and she's accompanied by a two Grammy winning pianist. Same location near her LA home as her cover of "My Funny Valentine". It's also a gorgeous interpretation! Behind the scenes, you will see her providing notes to a conductor or engineer, as in her B&W cover video of "I put a spell on you". That's what's on the piece of paper the engineer is holding near the beginning. She's performing in Japan later this year too. They'll adore her.✌
Suggestions for Angelina: 'What a Difference A Day Makes'(8), 'Feeling Good'(10)2 versions, 'I'd Rather go Blind', 'Born to Die', 'A Million Years Ago', 'Stay', 'Fly Me To The Moon' orchestral rehearsal for Quincy Jones Special, Natural Women, Back to Black' etc. Good luck. Am subscribing.
There are 3 AMAZING artists that are very easy to fall into a deep rabbit hole to. PMJ (Haley Reinhart and Morgan James), Angelina Jordan, and Dimash Kudaibergen. You can't go wrong with any of their videos in any order. I warn you now though, the rabbit holes are deep! Good luck and love your analysis of these singers.
Sir, a year before, she was asked if she felt like a 12 year old, she looked at her host a fine smile on her lips, "Only when I look into my passport". AJ has a very high IQ. To put it poetic, her mind is at least 20 years older than her body. You, sir, stay safe and healthy. German Greetings.
@@StrateleStudios You, sir, are most welcome. Swabian Greetings. Oh I forgot, "All I ask" an Adele cover, AJ is a fan of Adele, and it seems Adele is a fan of her.
Yes, she got the "Golden Buzzer" from Heidi Klum! If you want to fast forward another 3 years, she (and Republic Records) recently released her cover of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds", accompanied on piano by Rob Christie, 2-time Grammy winner and Studio Director of Republic Records. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Heidi gave her the Golden Buzzer You got Beast Mode with 'I Put a Spell on You' and now the Beauty of "Bohemian Rhapsody' Now get her most recent with 'Suspicious Mind' Elvis cover just released. It will blow you away. Then I would go back to her roots on Norway's Got Talent and do those 4 performances. I saw others vote for this and they gave you the link. What you don't understand yet is that by the end of those performances which showed incredible advancement in her abilities in the matter of a few months her voice was already as beautiful and for a child almost perfect. After that you need to see 'Fly Me to the Moon' on the view at 8 yrs old. th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html Follow that with one of my personal favorites at any age 'What a Difference a Day Makes' also at 8 yrs old. With subtitles. th-cam.com/video/cxD6r2Sv7SM/w-d-xo.html My Favorite. Both the most beautiful performances by an 8 yr old I have ever seen. Congratulations! You just discovered the best Vocal Artist on the Planet! IMO This opinion is quickly being reinforced as her career is finally starting to I believe explode. I'm surprised there are still many who know nothing about her but again I think that is going to change.If you want to hear music listen to anyone. If you want to feel it listen to Angelina. You have a lot of catching up to do if you decide to follow this girl and it would be a mistake in my opinion not to. Not just a great artist but an even greater Human Being! Hang on. Her angels will soon fill you in on her incredible journey & accomplishments When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. th-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/w-d-xo.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old!
Great comments. Consider the unflinching confidence and fearlessness necessary for a 13yo Angelina appearing before the American audience and Simon to take an iconic song, start a cappella, and re-imagine it into a completely different but totally comfortable jaw dropping performance. You have far to go with her and many surprises yet to be revealed. Angelina is one of the most versatile and multi-dimensional artist you will encounter.

Great reaction. Welcome to the world of the most unique artist in the music world today. Before you get into her recent fabulous performances, please watch her 4 Norways Got Talent performances when she was 7 & 8: 2 Billie Holiday songs, Gloomy Sunday and I'm a Fool To Want You (this one completely acapella) Bang Bang and Gershwin's Summertime. Here is the link. Its only 10 minutes. th-cam.com/video/O2bX15tYFVk/w-d-xo.html. Or, check out her second AGT performance, Yellow Brick Road, her runs and melismas in this one are beyond this earth. th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
4 days later AJ Record Republic records Queen gave her the right to copyright all her own materials undergo name she’s going to school in Los Angeles and work republic records when she finished patching goes back to Norway and does conscious she’s going to Japan to Concert Putting on the album next year for her mother another Norway her Mother said new album next year
Great reaction as always! Welcome to AJ's rabbit hole. If you want to hear her jazz skills her in-studio rehearsal of Sinatra's "I'm a fool to want you" is simply incredible (She was 11 I believe). th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html Her cover of Etta Jame's "I'd rather go blind" is simply astonishing (she just turn 13). th-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/w-d-xo.html Her practise session of "Picture of s child" is very interesting to see how mature she was so young (9 years old I believe). th-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/w-d-xo.html Sorry for the superlative but it is impossible not to use them when writing about AJ. BTW all of her covers and originals are worth a listen, this girl just seems to change everything she sings into gold. I guess that is what true talent is.
Thanks Jeff for another captivating reaction to A J. She reaches new heights with everything she uploads. I get a kick when you face and eyes get big showing that you have been amazed and caught of guard. with each new song of hers. You have viewed many of her best performance but have you reacted to "My Funny Valentine". which she has done at the age of 10 & 16. th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo - MFV reminded me of driving with my parents on our Road trip around Wisconsin especially in summer around 1970 they had the radio on listening to Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. She also has covered "Goodbye Yellow Brick Rood" . on AGT which Simon also enjoyed the arrangement. th-cam.com/video/HjsM3puKPrs/w-d-xo.html Are interested in original music ? One should not over look "A Million Miles " th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo She sings this grieving the LOSE of her Grandfather. so emotional - Tears likely will flow......
Jeff one more song Mountain EVEREST ain't got Nothing ON ME ! ! ! This shows a new Boldness opposite to the sweetness in most of her other performances You will notice the interplay between her and the guitarist .th-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/w-d-xo.html one of many songs FROM her live TOUR in NORWAY concerts in Norway her home . A good question to answer... WHat makes a great Live Performer? (capturing or expressing that feeling(s)?
Angelina 🌟🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
I agree about watching her latest video, "Suspicious Minds", and you will have seen almost her full spectrum. Then go back and fill in the blanks, starting with her Norway's Got Talent performances when she was 7-8. There's no right or wrong way to view everything of hers in between; just know that every performance will be amazing and you will soon be at a loss for words. Thanks for reacting to Angelina!
Thanks Bill! 😊😊😊
you have to hear her do Funny Valentine and Suspicious Minds, Off the scale
Billie Jean
Queen loved it as well. They gave her a shout out.
Oops I meant to say take she is a different singer, Angelina however is also known as a vocal chameleon.keep it up I enjoy your work
And Queen loved it too
Queen loved it so much they gave her the rights to record it and make it her song
The feels!
Right in the feels, Alex! 😄
Bohemian Rhapsody is extraordinary, but not unusual. Angelina will change your mind about how great a singer can be across so many genres. You’ve heard two songs-different styles, but both arranged by Angelina at age 9 and 13, and you’ve been amazed. There are dozens more, and it doesn’t matter what age you choose. You can go chronologically, or by genre, or by song titles you like. It doesn’t matter. Angelina combines raw vocal talent that you’ve never seen before in a child with unique musicality (that you noted today), and she has done that since age seven. Jump to right now and watch her cover of Suspicious Minds or My Funny Valentine. At 16, her voice will stun you. Then just start listening to anything she’s done. She’s that good.
She is that good!
Love your analysis.Wait until you see what she has done with Elvis's "Suspicious Minds" and Michael Jackson "Billie Jean". The girl is a genius with her interpretation of classic songs.🙂
@@ronraskind G'day Ron. Of course, everything Angelina does is amazing, but it blows me away how she can pull these classic songs apart, then takes the bits she needs and comes up with song that is so different, but pays so much respect to the original. 🙂
@@ronraskind 👍🙂
And My Funny Valentine from 2022
Angelina did arrange her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody! In fact, Brian May reached out to her, to tell her how wonderful her version was, and gave her Queen's blessing, to copyright her arrangement. He also said that Freddie would have loved it!
Angelina won Norway's Got talent in 2014, at the age of 7! Her B&W cover of 'I put a spell on you,at the age of 9 with Angelina doing her own arrangements, (since she was 7 years old) is just crazy. In this video, the page the gentleman is holding at the beginning, is actually her handwritten notes laying out what she expects from everyone. In studio, they playfully call her the "Little Boss". Only her grandmother is present, other than the studio crew. On the candle she holds up, is Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He wrote it, and performed it originally. Nina Simone later covered it. 😆💕
Angelina has sung barefoot, except for rehearsals, since age 6 in remembrance of an orphan girl near her age that she met on the street in the middle east. The girl was using bathroom scales and weighing people for money. It was cold, she was barefoot, and her feet were scarred. They chatted about their dreams, and she asked Angelina what her dream was. Of course, Angelina said she wanted to be a singer, and sing for the whole world, and asked the girl about her dream. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor, but that was not possible because she had siblings to care for, and she wished Angelina luck in becoming a singing star, and she told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina, on the spot, gave her the sea green boots, her favorites, that she was wearing and told her to never give up on her dreams, called her a “princess” and that she would always remember her.
Angelina wrote in her diary that day, “…to be able to do something for another human, it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really.” Angelina, at 9, became Norway's youngest author when she wrote a book about it, "Mellom to hjerter" ("Between Two Hearts"). Angelina promised herself never to wear shoes when performing again until there were no more children around the world without shoes, clothing, or family. In her book Angelina says, “In respect for you and all children like you, and that you prayed to God, today I walk barefoot on cold floors in front of so many people and sing. This book is for you little princess. You’re like sunshine! I remember and remember you every day.”
Angelina has raised many millions of Euros and Dollars around the world performing at charity concerts since age 8. So, to this day, almost 9 years later, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. NGT Judge Mia Gundersen called Angelia’s voice, “a gift from the universe.” To me, the true gift to us all is Angelina herself.
Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far:
Adele, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. 😊✌
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen . Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗
Great reaction. You must experience the following: My Funny Valentine from Valentine's Day 22, and Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley Cover) that came out 6 days ago.
I don't know who's decision it was to cut out Heidi giving her the golden buzzer but eventually you'll learn about the controversy about the finals too. I don't know if they are related but the version on my HD has Heidi pressing the golden buzzer.
Angelina takes a song, hugs it, smoothes off the edges, warms it, and delivers a brand-new masterpiece...
I think of her as the Song Whisperer
Awwwww very good!
It's so exiting after listening to all u'r Dirty Loops reactions diving in to the world of Angelina. U'r very sympathic &
Initiated reactor! 😆🇸🇪
The best interpretation of this song I ever heard, by far. With respect to Freddy...
She got Heidi's golden buzzer. This was a special champions show and she went straight to the semi=finals.
Check out "Goodbye Yellow brick Road" from the same show. Amazing!
All the songs that are suggested here in the comments are great ,another song she shows her skill is my funny valentine ,she is a genius at reinterpreting songs .she never hides from the biggest songs or the biggest stars . Enjoyed your reaction and subscribed
Thanks marvin! 😊🎉😊
Love your comments, right on point.
Thank you Roger! 😊😊😊
Angelina is known as the "Girl With 1000 Voices" for a good reason. You've heard 2, so 998 to go. Yes, her vocals have gotten stronger & more controlled over the years, but she seems to have the ability to change her vocals to perfectly match what a song requires. I can't tell you how many times reactors have said "her voice is perfect for this song" as if to say she has a particular type of voice that only fits certain songs. It usually takes hearing 20-30 songs from different eras, styles & genre to realize she has the ability to adjust her voice to any song. I have never seen any vocalist, male or female, with her versatility in my 75 years. Now, at 16 she is the best I've ever seen & I can't imagine what she will sound like in 10 years when her vocal ability will be fully developed. I just hope I'm still here to hear it. The jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, has been recorded by all the greats (600+ vocalists) & her version is the most beautiful I've ever heard. th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html Or, if you want to see another transformation of a classic song like her Bohemian Rhapsody, then check out her most recent cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds. She made it into a totally different song from the original. Both were done when she was 16. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Like you, Keith, when she did "MFV", I said that's her best performance. And for showing the many aspects of her voice, I still see that as the best. But what she has done with "Suspicious Minds" is beyond anything she has done before (IMO). When she opened with the bridge of the song with so much volume and richness in her voice, I almost stopped breathing. It is one of the best things I have ever heard musically. I've probably heard it a 100 times now, and it still blows me away each time. The entire performance, including the piano arrangement, is breathe taking, but the opening is other worldly. And I don't think she sounded like anyone but Angelina. This is the voice she will be known for. And it can't happen soon enough for me. A MASTERPIECE!!!
@@wajj1842 Agreed! Nicely put. R (Australia)
She made this one her own to the degreea that The Queen people straight out was so amazed as well, they gave her all rights for her version, and she made a studiorecording of it immedialtely. I feel sure you`ll be as amazed even for her performances at the NGT (Norwegian Talents show) from 2014 as she was 7 and 8 years old. Looking very much forward to follow this journey of yours 🤗
Stylistically, she did herself justice. Freddie would agree. Jeff, you nailed it when you commented "mature" regarding her voice.
Thank you my friend! 💙
Queen loved her cover so much, they gave her the copy right. Legit fact.
Jeff, You are now an official Angelina Jordan Fan, she calls her Angels! I agree with your analysis of her interpretation of this and all her musical arrangements. As you continue on her Journey she will amaze you as she has all of her Angels followers!
😃👏👏👏🫶
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed they allowed Angelina to copyright her version - she recorded it and it is available on several music streaming services - it's great because she gets the money :)
I liked it
Check out her AGT's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road performance! Mindblowing as well! Also, her latest cover I Have Nothing by Whitney!
Great reaction..just wanted to say that you’ll find she’s a different singer in virtually every performance!
A great early contrast from age 7 is her version of Bang Bang. It’s unreal. Skipping ahead she released a new version of My Funny Valentine on Feb 2022 . Also her release of Yellow Brick Road on AGT at age 13. You have to remember she has a major hand in the arrangement and production of every performance and has from the beginning. I think what seperates her from the fray is that she is truly an artist not only a great vocalist.
If you think this is good, wait till you hear her at her current age of 16. Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan
I’ve viewed your 3-4 videos on Angelina, not completely in order, but the outcomes are the same, you like other ‘reactors’ and ordinary folks all over the world find Angelina to be utterly spellbinding, a true artist, unique and so genuine and humble.
I guess my input is it’s not what she does that’s the most amazing thing, and she does it very, very well, it’s how she makes you feel when she does it, and that is unique, so personal and beyond priceless.
I’m a fan of hers for life now, hope I get to see her perform live once before my time is up…. in the meantime I can listen every day to an Angel who touches souls.
It did change her life and her career shortly thereafter she was signed buy Republic records she has been designated as their top up and coming artist he made her song at 7th Heaven collaborating with Beyoncé Ariana Grande and Sam Smith who are also covered by Republic are the reactors told you to listen to her Suspicious Mind also listen to her redoing Bohemian Rhapsody at age 16 in Norway she also read that I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston in Norway I think she's going to be a superstar but if she doesn't want to be a superstar she could be a supermodel she is so beautiful thanks for the reaction
Nice to see you again so soon... I'm all in for Angelina Jordan. I haven't stopped watching and listening since I started about 6 months back. Every day I tell you... Help me. lol
She just recently sang this song live this week Live at 16 years old in Norway. Also amazing, with a touch more age and experience behind her.
👍👍
I feel that your going to say that she sounds different in all her covers & original's cuz they are all different vocal styles but one thing that's constant is her velvety richness in her vocals,,,
👣🌬🌎
Hahaha I probably would have caught that with video 3 (the next one) but thanks for the heads up! 😃
She was 13 years old. AGT:Champions 2 aired weekly in January-February 2020 but was not live. The show was pre-taped in a short time frame from October 3, 2019 to October 21, 2019. Since it was not live, viewers did not vote, but 50 unknown "Superfans" did during the taping. One "Superfan" per US state. Angelina didn't win, she didn't even finish in the top 5. All the top 5 already had a contract with one of Simon Cowell's companies, unlike Angelina. In August 2020, it was announced that she had signed with Republic Records.
You ain't heard nothing yet. She released her cover of 'Suspicious Minds' just a couple days ago. She took Elvis's song,. Made it hers without changing so much you wouldn't recognize it. The video aesthetics are captivating. She's dressed in black leather and playing the red electric guitar Elvis played in his 1968 comeback concert.
I think that will be next!
I think she did Freddy mercury proud. Love this rendition it brings tears of joy to your heart. It’s so beautiful ❤❤❤
MY VALENTINE (10 yrs ) MY VALENTINE ( 16 yrs ) Angelina📌
Angelina you will find is a musical savant. She hears music in a way that is foreign to most people. She has changed a bit since we saw her as a nine yr.old. One thing is she stands 6'1" now. This her arrangement and she did such a good job that Brian May the lead guitarist for Queen, said they were very impressed with this arrangement and even allowed Angelina to copyright her arrangement. It is funny you mentioned TikTok because my personal favorite performance is on that site. I'll give you the link. It is Angelina's best overall performance to me. I believe it is her true authentic voice that she will have to refine it, but the way it is well that's pretty good.
This rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody was the first time I heard Angelina sing, which was on January 6th, 2020. I was blown away, and her performance launched me on a magical journey of discovery that continues to this day. I have listened to her every day now for two and a half years. I will also recommend that you listen to her recently released cover of Suspicious Minds, it is truly jaw-dropping: th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
You have just experienced a MASTERPIECE by a 13-year-old parodical genius that will stand the annals of all time, this girl is destined to be the greatest STORYTELLING vocalist of our time
Yes, she really was 13 years old! Extraordinary! This was actually 4 days before her 14th birthday.
The show was, but all of AGT The Champions performances were recorded in the latter part of Oct 2019, and then went out in Jan/Feb 2020. She had 10 mill views in a week! She certainly landed in USA.
She was 13 years old. To add to Mrs. TIu's comment. AGT:Champions 2 aired weekly in January-February 2020 but was not live. The show was pre-taped in a short time frame from October 3, 2019 to October 21, 2019. Since it was not live, viewers did not vote, but 50 unknown "Superfans" did during the taping. One "Superfan" per US state. Angelina didn't win, she didn't even finish in the top 5. All the top 5 already had a contract with one of Simon Cowell's companies, unlike Angelina. In August 2020, it was announced that she had signed with Republic Records.
The members of Queen enjoyed it enough they granted her a copyright for her performance..
You were great! What a fantastic , genuine reaction to her performance. A picture is worth a thousand words and your facial expressions, and the gulp you took during the song showed us how strongly you felt for her and her arrangement.
Thank you very much and I look forward to more Angelina reactions from you.
Thank you so much Robert! 😊😊😊
She's a "different singer" for every song, as you will discover. She has had her own "voices" since birth, not one voice that has changed over time. An 83 year old non-musical person, I first started listening to her when she won NGT, and have continued to follow her every day since then. My favorite vision: as she was born, she stuck out a tiny hand, the delivery nurse put a microphone in it, and she sang a full voice version of "Born Free."
Angelina absolutely amazing performance 13 years old, Angelina received the Golden Buzzer for this performance and straight to the final, Angelina is a musical genius and arranges everything she sings, and makes it her own and sometimes better than the original ! Angelina has a thousand different voices and can sing anything!
I suggest you react to Angelina Jordan "I'm still holding out for you" A totaly different song to the two you have listened to so far. It is a modern song that should have been or may be her first hit single but they were still wanting her to go through school at the time it was recorded; as she was 9 years old, and too young to start a full time professional career at the time. And this song would catapult her in to the charts.
Some have speculated that the subject matter could be miss interpreted and the themes were quite adult but no more than Bohemian Rhapsody or I Put A Spell On You. A beautiful performance and so different from everything else she was doing at the time. I think they may re-release it, now she is older and starting her professional career.
This performance has been viewed (not including reactions) over 140 million times on TH-cam and I say that is very much undervalued. It should be in the billions. Great analysis of how Angelina plays with the melody. Vocal coaches have said she sings around the melody. Angelina has concerts in Norway on July 1, 7 and 10 and can't wait to see videos. Angelina just posted a IG video practicing House of the Rising Sun. OMG
Every Angelina angel wants and believes Angelina's music should be promoted. We know her family has requested Angelina be allowed as normal a childhood as possible and should finish her schooling. I think that is very wise. I like to believe her family is working with Republic Records on a promotion strategy, to fully promote her while at the same time not to overwhelm Angelina. We don't want, what has happened to so many, her to shoot up in popularity only to have her star burn out. Angelina is a rare talent. I like to believe she is a once in forever musical artist and I put my faith in her loving family to know when the time is right to allow Republic to fully promote her. Our patience will be greatly rewarded.
Great reaction to a great artist!!!
Thank you Randy! 😊😊😊
Fantastic reaction and you should see her today, last week she released her version of "Suspicious Minds", brought it to 2022, God Bless!
Thank you Mark! I’m gonna do that one next! 😃
It doesn't matter in what order you watch her videos in. Angelina is amazing from A to Z. This isn't hyperbolic nonsense. It really doesn't matter.
Thanks Larry!
Love your reaction! Your comment and analysis is spot-on.
Everything you say about Angelina’s ability to change the song, while not deviating from the original song’s recognition is displayed in SPADES with her new cover that was released one week ago.
You MUST do a reaction and analysis of Elvis’ “Suspicious Minds”.
The improvement in EVERYTHING you discussed… since her performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody “… will blow your doors off once again! 🖤👣
Thank you so much Peter! YES I will definitely do “Suspicious Minds” next! 😊😊😊🎉😊👏😊🎊🫶
I enjoy your Industry expert analysis. Your ear and appreciation for talent is wonderful follow. I have been watching your Aurora reactions too.
Before going back to Angelina's Norway's got talent and a whole list in between, I think you should let your mind be blown with her "Suspicious Minds" cover just dropped this last week. It is drenched in mesmerizing talent and feeling. Soooo Good!
I will definitely do that Sean! Thank you so much for you kind words!
GReat reaction Jeff, this performance is one of her best in my ears. Explore more from her, it is a joyous ride!
Thanks Nils! 😊😊😊👏🎉
I don't know if you're ready for I'm still holding out for you in my opinion that is her best song that she has sung even better than I put a spell on you
Such a performance, I was really taken by this beautiful young soul. So pure, so unique. Thank, Jeff! Got me in contact with the grief..
🫶
Angelina is an extraordinary singer. Everything you said about this song also applies to her new song. Just much much better. Angelina has reached a new level with her new Elvis cover. I think Angelina even skipped some levels. It's amazing how much better she's gotten over the past few years. You should not miss that.
The first song you heard from her she was 9 years old and 13 years old in this one. So it's certainly good to jump forward a good 3 years - into the present.
- Angelina Jordan - Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley Cover) - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Have a nice day and
Greetings from Germany
Thank you Olaf, I’ll do this one next! 👏👏👏
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Lovely reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 Your first comment was that you liked how she re-imagined the song. She always adds her own twist to the songs she covers, and sometimes its even a completely new song, like you just heard. California Dreaming, Billie Jean and Suspicious Minds are a few that comes to mind, that she just flipped upside down. Not everyone 'gets it' on the first listen, and if its a dear song to you, the changes she does might be too much. But all 3 of these are absolutely brilliant, and good examples of her talent at rearanging songs. My favorite of hers might be 'Stay' by Rihanna, but ask me tomorrow and its probably something else. Chose any song, and you will probably like it. But I will say one thing about Angelina - After hearing a few songs, you might think that you got a grasp of her talent, her voice and her style. Well, you dont. Even with your musical background, you probably need to hear 20-30 of her performances to fully grasp how incredibly talented this young girl is 🌹
I know I'm very late here, but I had to respond to your comment about how she's "a different singer" at this age than when she was 9. My literal response as I was watching the video was to say, out loud, "She already _was_ a different singer, back then!" By which I mean, what you heard from her at that age (studio version of "I Put a Spell on You") is so different from almost everything else she's ever done, that it really doesn't give a "reliable" picture of what kind of a singer she was back then. I mean, sure, it showcases "some of the things she could do" at that age, but it's not at all representative of "the kind of things she _typically_ did" (at any age!). Of course, I don't blame you for trying to make a comparison based on the only two "data points" you had to go on… but I'm just saying, you are likely to have to significantly alter your perspective on what she was like when she was younger the next time you hear something from when she was younger.🙂 I'll just leave it at that, since you've already posted another AJ reaction ("Suspicious Minds").
Great observations. I enjoyed your reaction. You really need to check out Angelina’s most recent cover of “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley. It’s another example of how she changes the melody and creates a masterpiece from a classic pop/rock song. I think you’ll love it. Thanks.
Funny Valentine shows a difference in range.
Thank you so much for your reaction. I feel that you might like to check out one (or two?) of her performances of Fly Me To The Moon. I recommend the one from The View (aged 8) and also the one from the Quincey Jones birthday concert (aged 13). Same song, but you can really hear her development.
You need to react to the videos on youtube where she covers Adele's- go easy on me and Elvis Presley' - suspicious mind.
If no one has suggested this yet, watch "The Show Must Go On"! Queen apparently loves her version of that song as well. Your podcast comments are cool. Angelina is the barefoot princess of voice.😊
she has many covers out there and a few originals . not a bad one in the lot . buckle up ad hang on .
lol, you said she's a different singer to you in this performance than she was in the other one.... lol, just you wait. She is MANY different singers. I agree with the approach of going through her Norway's Got Talent performances and don't miss out on her renditions of Whitney Houston, Adele and Lana Del Reye's Born to Die... With any of these songs but Del Reye's in particular if you've not heard the original listen to it first because Angelina absolutely OWNS it. But then she often owns the songs she sings, performing them better than the original artist. Another little treat that isn't "perfect" but absolutely amazing is to go back to when she was 6.... yes, 6, and singing I Have Nothing. It's really unbelievable a baby has such pipes.
Million Miles? Her first original with Republic Records.
She is changing the concept of what a beautiful song is. In addition she captures the spirit and the feeling in the lyrics. I never heard the original song. Queen was not my cup of tea
"I'd Rather Go Blind", "My Funny Valentine" (2022), her jazzy version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"
Angelina Jordan is on a Summer Concert Tour of Norway right now - check out how her Bohemian Rhapsody sounds now at age 16: th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
That was cool thanks for the link! 😊😊😊
@@StrateleStudios You might want to check out Angelina doing a completely different style from the same concert: th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html
She is a different singer every songs she sings try something she wrote herself 1st one was sheild God bless
Rreact to Diana Ankudinova: 'Rechenka' or 'Wicked Games' or 'Can't help falling in love' or 'Human'
Thanks for this beautiful and interesting reaction. This interpretation of her is simply exceptional, beyond as for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic song in a more intimate key and for the intensity of her interpretation, at only 13 years old! This is a splendid example of Angelina's amazing and unique work, with her we are amazed by the by her voice, the breath control and splendid technique, that one does not adequately appreciate her amazing intelligence and the musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms in her interpretations, the great songs she loves so much. 💛🧡❤️
If you like this is her last beautiful version of four days ago in concert in Norway. th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
…and can we also appreciate that english is her THIRD language!
Love your reaction!
Try with her last cover of Elvis “Suspicious Minds”
Unbelievable beautiful!!❤️❤️❤️
Suscribe because of Angelina
Thank you for the sub, Avila! That will be my next one!
👍
"Suspicious Minds" is her latest release! th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html It to, will blow your mind, and she's accompanied by a two Grammy winning pianist. Same location near her LA home as her cover of "My Funny Valentine". It's also a gorgeous interpretation! Behind the scenes, you will see her providing notes to a conductor or engineer, as in her B&W cover video of "I put a spell on you". That's what's on the piece of paper the engineer is holding near the beginning. She's performing in Japan later this year too. They'll adore her.✌

Thank you!
There are 3 AMAZING artists that are very easy to fall into a deep rabbit hole to. PMJ (Haley Reinhart and Morgan James), Angelina Jordan, and Dimash Kudaibergen. You can't go wrong with any of their videos in any order. I warn you now though, the rabbit holes are deep! Good luck and love your analysis of these singers.
So far two out of three for me! Woohoo! Thanks Larry! 👏🎉
Sir, a year before, she was asked if she felt like a 12 year old, she looked at her host a fine smile on her lips, "Only when I look into my passport". AJ has a very high IQ. To put it poetic, her mind is at least 20 years older than her body. You, sir, stay safe and healthy. German Greetings.
😂🤣😂 brilliant hahaha
@@StrateleStudios You, sir, are most welcome. Swabian Greetings. Oh I forgot, "All I ask" an Adele cover, AJ is a fan of Adele, and it seems Adele is a fan of her.
Yes, she got the "Golden Buzzer" from Heidi Klum! If you want to fast forward another 3 years, she (and Republic Records) recently released her cover of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds", accompanied on piano by Rob Christie, 2-time Grammy winner and Studio Director of Republic Records. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Definitely will be my next one!
Heidi gave her the Golden Buzzer
You got Beast Mode with 'I Put a Spell on You' and now the Beauty of "Bohemian Rhapsody' Now get her most recent with 'Suspicious Mind' Elvis cover just released. It will blow you away. Then I would go back to her roots on Norway's Got Talent and do those 4 performances. I saw others vote for this and they gave you the link. What you don't understand yet is that by the end of those performances which showed incredible advancement in her abilities in the matter of a few months her voice was already as beautiful and for a child almost perfect.
After that you need to see 'Fly Me to the Moon' on the view at 8 yrs old. th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html
Follow that with one of my personal favorites at any age 'What a Difference a Day Makes' also at 8 yrs old. With subtitles. th-cam.com/video/cxD6r2Sv7SM/w-d-xo.html My Favorite.
Both the most beautiful performances by an 8 yr old I have ever seen.
Congratulations! You just discovered the best Vocal Artist on the Planet! IMO This opinion is quickly being reinforced as her career is finally starting to I believe explode. I'm surprised there are still many who know nothing about her but again I think that is going to change.If you want to hear music listen to anyone. If you want to feel it listen to Angelina. You have a lot of catching up to do if you decide to follow this girl and it would be a mistake in my opinion not to. Not just a great artist but an even greater Human Being! Hang on. Her angels will soon fill you in on her incredible journey & accomplishments When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. th-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/w-d-xo.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old!
Thanks for the great info! 🎉👏👏👏👏
hi, please, please million miles ( Angelina Jordan ) that something.... you will be speechless ...
Great comments. Consider the unflinching confidence and fearlessness necessary for a 13yo Angelina appearing before the American audience and Simon to take an iconic song, start a cappella, and re-imagine it into a completely different but totally comfortable jaw dropping performance. You have far to go with her and many surprises yet to be revealed. Angelina is one of the most versatile and multi-dimensional artist you will encounter.
Here are a few gems from her that you shouldn't miss!

Great selections Ken
You must do her cover of Suspicious Minds. Reimagined that as well. She released it a week ago. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction. Welcome to the world of the most unique artist in the music world today. Before you get into her recent fabulous performances, please watch her 4 Norways Got Talent performances when she was 7 & 8:
2 Billie Holiday songs, Gloomy Sunday and I'm a Fool To Want You (this one completely acapella) Bang Bang and Gershwin's Summertime. Here is the link. Its only 10 minutes. th-cam.com/video/O2bX15tYFVk/w-d-xo.html.
Or, check out her second AGT performance, Yellow Brick Road, her runs and melismas in this one are beyond this earth. th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
“She’s a different singer” that’s right but take care
4 days later AJ Record Republic records Queen gave her the right to copyright all her own materials undergo name she’s going to school in Los Angeles and work republic records when she finished patching goes back to Norway and does conscious she’s going to Japan to Concert Putting on the album next year for her mother another Norway her Mother said new album next year
Great reaction as always! Welcome to AJ's rabbit hole. If you want to hear her jazz skills her in-studio rehearsal of Sinatra's "I'm a fool to want you" is simply incredible (She was 11 I believe). th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
Her cover of Etta Jame's "I'd rather go blind" is simply astonishing (she just turn 13). th-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/w-d-xo.html
Her practise session of "Picture of s child" is very interesting to see how mature she was so young (9 years old I believe). th-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/w-d-xo.html
Sorry for the superlative but it is impossible not to use them when writing about AJ. BTW all of her covers and originals are worth a listen, this girl just seems to change everything she sings into gold. I guess that is what true talent is.
Thank you André! 👏👏👏
Thanks Jeff for another captivating reaction to A J. She reaches new heights with everything she uploads. I get a kick when you face and eyes get big showing that you have been amazed and caught of guard. with each new song of hers. You have viewed many of her best performance but have you reacted to "My Funny Valentine". which she has done at the age of 10 & 16. th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo - MFV reminded me of driving with my parents on our Road trip around Wisconsin especially in summer around 1970 they had the radio on listening to Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. She also has covered "Goodbye Yellow Brick Rood" . on AGT which Simon also enjoyed the arrangement. th-cam.com/video/HjsM3puKPrs/w-d-xo.html Are interested in original music ? One should not over look "A Million Miles " th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo She sings this grieving the LOSE of her Grandfather. so emotional - Tears likely will flow......
Jeff one more song Mountain EVEREST ain't got Nothing ON ME ! ! ! This shows a new Boldness opposite to the sweetness in most of her other performances You will notice the interplay between her and the guitarist .th-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/w-d-xo.html one of many songs FROM her live TOUR in NORWAY concerts in Norway her home . A good question to answer... WHat makes a great Live Performer? (capturing or expressing that feeling(s)?
Now amazing as it was. AGT lost me that year she did not win........
