I've seen a lot of Angelina Jordan reactions recently and many from vocal coaches but yours is standing out. You were not just admiring her talent or analyzing the performance but also tasting the song dip by dip as a professional wine expert would enjoy a glass of extraordinary quality wine, discovering all the tiniest details and nuances.
Thank you so much Peter! 🥰🙏 I am very happy to hear that you like my content! It's funny: I actually caught myself describing a song much like a wine expert during my Nightwish "Romanticide"-reaction. You might want to check that self-ironic moment thehe xx
Hearing Angelina sing "I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I've never been born at all"... and then watching her Mom, wiping away the tears from little sister Juliettes face, gets me every time !
The biggest surprise here is that this is the first time you’ve heard Angelina. How can that be? I think she is the best singer I’ve ever heard-and that goes across many genres. I won’t repeat all the things the other commenters already said, but you just need to start listening. To get an idea of Angelina’s flexibility-and why she’s call the girl with a thousand voices-listen to her cover of Etta James’ I’d Rather Go Blind. The soul you heard in Bohemian Rhapsody is turned up about 200%. Or for Angelina in full upbeat jazz mode, listen to her original, Seventh Heaven-vibes of Amy Winehouse and old school jazz. Her voice is magical, and her ability to cover so many styles authentically is hard to believe. When I said she’s the best singer I’ve ever heard, I wasn’t exaggerating. I’ve followed music for over seventy years. Angelina is absolutely the best. Just start listening.
Thank you for this reaction video and welcome to Angelina’s world. Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong. Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down. Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan. Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions. At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities. Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come. Thank you for reading. P.S. Angelina Jordan just released a new cover song of Whitney Houston featuring Mariah Carey “When You Believe” here is the link th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html I would love if you can react to it. Thanks again
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 140 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and 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.
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 15, 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, Norah 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 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.

Beautiful and informative reaction which will help make more people aware of Angelina Jordan and we angels (fans) greatly appreciate that. 13 year old Angelina created a genius arrangement for one of the most beloved songs on Earth then delivered a flawless performance. Angelina is a true music prodigy but the only one I know who specializes in vocals. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. The reason she always performs without shoes is included in the biography I compiled for her. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl. 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 still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible until she completes high school and so far it appears that is the plan. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Sung by a young vocalist with an "Old Soul" . Very impressive. This is the first time I have heard her sing. Now I need to hear her more. As always, our reactor Anna is as passionate as ever about what she does. You go girl !!
Hi, David, I'm delighted that you have discovered the most talented and versatile singer living today. If you decide to begin the long, long journey of following her career, I can guarantee you will never be disappointed at any performance. Go to Rusty Shackleford's TH-cam channel, where he has created a list of Angelina's Live performances in chronological order from age 7 to present th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Anna for this wonderfully informative first reaction to Angelina, my favorite singer in the world. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction!
OK. You passed the entrance exam for reacting and explaining Angelina's music. I look forward to watching your journey through Angelina's world of originals and her 135 magnificent covers from 84 artists. Welcome aboard.
The story of her bare feet is one of unbelievable commitment and caring. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling in the middle east (her grandmother is Iranian), and she came across a young girl close to her age who was working in the street offering to weigh people with a bathroom scale for money. She had no shoes on her feet and her feet were cracked and in pretty bad shape. They talked for a while and then the little girl mentioned how nice she thought Angelina's shoes were. Angelina asked her if she had any shoes and she said no, so Angelina gave her the shoes off her feet. Angelina asked her what her dreams were and the little girl said she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told the little girl that she wanted to be a star and sing for the world. The little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day and asked Angelina to not forget about her. Angelina made a promise at that time that any time she sang in public she would sing barefoot to remember this little girl and bring awareness to the suffering of children around the world. To this day, over 7 years later, she has stayed true to that commitment. She remains a very grounded and humble young lady She has spent the past 7 years pouring out her soul and her talent to help people who are not as fortunate as her. She donated much, if not most of her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children's charities and has performed in benefit concerts across the globe in support of disadvantaged children and other social causes (raising over 20 million Euros).
Yes, I am much impressed by the tidbit she offered in an interview 3 years later. She added, unprompted, "the shoes were my favourite sea-green ankle boots" in a whistful voice, like she was still clearly remembering them. For a 6 year old to offer such a treasured possession to a stranger simply because the stranger needed them is just amazing! So unlike a small child She showed us her hand written diary pages where the memory was recorded in the neat printing of a (precossious) six year old.
And 3000 people held their breath and listen to what no one expected , a top notch performance on the biggest stage in the world with millions watching on television all over the world ..
@@annavaskelainen the fact that she can hit that was a surprise because of her interpretation I assumed she was a one trick pony with that wonderful soulful voice, which by itself is amazing, but her hitting that means she does this style by choice and not limitation which just makes her even more special. She is an old soul with enormous talent. Again thank you for the way you express and feel during these reactions, trully genuine.
As a vocal coach, you may find the early black and white version of I put a spell on your very scary for her future. Her coaches made sure that she did not continue to go that way. There are some much safer versions as she got older.
@@hobartrdh, right you are, though (and even more since we know her now and hear it did no harm...) I'm really thankful we have this extraordinary rendition (and moreover in excellent recording quality both on audio and video), it still blows me away everytime I listen to it... - perhaps they should put an advice to it "do not try this at home" or the likes... :-D
Tervetuloa kyytiin, Anna. Thanks for this first beautiful reaction and analysis with Angelina. At only 13, Angelina created a version of Bohemian so simple and exciting that it gets under your skin and never goes never, you can listen to it as many times as you want, but she always moves you. This little girl is a genius and a real musical talent, I don't know how to describe her otherwise. It's really amazing how this little girl has dealt with the greatest songs of the last decades, often performed by the most talented singers, no matter if women or men, and has inevitably managed to appropriate the song, adapt it to her sensitivity and turn it into another song, often better than the original.❤️
I always enjoy a professional voice coach analyzing Angelina. They point out the many subtle and complicated things she does with her voice that no one else has ever done before, at least not all in one song. Her ability to do these things is innate, not learned from many years of coaching. The rest of us just feel the song, the chills, the goosebumps, the tears. Just look at her performance of the Tom Jones classic "I Who Have Nothing" at age six. She is never scared or nervous. It is like she knows it is going to be wonderful and she is happy to share it with everyone.
Thank you, Anna, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it extremely 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 millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Best voice in 4.5 million years. She's your new favorite performer of all time, you just don't know it yet. Every time she will blow your mind this is a promise from me. She's just out of this world.
Thank you Anna for your in depth reaction of my favorite singer, Angelina. She is very versatile, in many genres and does great justice to covers. Will subscribe for Angelina, thumbs up lady.
This little lady? Honestly I can't find the words to describe her. She is so amazing, from why she doesn't wear shoes, to the outfit she is wearing is handmade by herself. And that voice I can only describe as angelic 👼. But let's not forget You❤️ you are a gift to us all. Peace ☮️ to you and yours pretty lady ❤️
Angelina always sings barefoot, can't remember why anymore... Was it something she promised to somebody else? Anyway, she still was a little lady when she started singing. Won Norway's talent at the age of seven if I remeber correctly :D My personal favorite of hers is I put a spell on you th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
@@annavaskelainen I don't think you'll be disappointed with the final performance but I have to agree with others who have mentioned that as a vocal coach you may not recommend the "style" as a frequent practice for your developing students. Lol. (In all later performances of the same song, Angelina toned it down several notches.) th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
@@DavidBrianPaley I used to like her studio version best, but after listening to her live performance in Germany at age 10 a few times I started to like the live version better. Her technique is better (maybe less harmful?) and her voice has matured a little. But her ability in both versions is stunning. th-cam.com/video/eASqvRGt46k/w-d-xo.html
@@timelston4260 Yes, I consider the 2015 version to be the 'concept' design, in the Germany version, 2017, she had the more refined yet still passionate 'production' version that she could perform regularly, as she did in Seoul later that year.
Anna , you are very talented and it was a pleasure to listen to you react to our barefoot princess. She is now 15 and her voice is naturally continuing to change and it is getting better and better. I'm sure, by now, you have listened to her sing this to you privately and you will feel the sensations within you grow more and more each time she sings this song. There is so much for you to learn about Angelina and you will receive lots of data from people all over the world. I will tell you, Anna, as talented as she is musically, she is equally just as wonderful as a human being. When she sings she reaches down to the depths of her soul and her voice carries straight to our hearts. I have subscribed. I am from New Jersey, USA, and I must say your English subtitles were done very well. Please continue to react to Angelina. In closing, I have a thought and I hope it brings a smile to your face. One of your students may have tuned in to watch this and during, or just after the video, your student may have uttered out loud, "Wow! I knew Anna was great but I had no idea she is this great!" Take care and be well!
Hi Robert and thank you! ^^ I am happy to know you liked my content and appreciated the subs. I used to live in Scotland studying and teaching music. Your kind words really made my day, thank you very much again. Stay safe there and hope to see you around here in the comments again! xx
This is just great Anna. I`m so looking forward to follow your experiences, your reactions and know-how baced comments to Angelina`s performances and skills. Prepare yourself for massive storm on views and comments.
@@annavaskelainen This was so nice. All my whishes and hopes was fullfilled. Your videos are longer than most reactors, but for some reason they are over faster than most. How can that be ? :-D It`s simple; - you are so well spoken and interesting, and not at least; very educative. Thank you for this. Angelina`s latest original from earlier this year, "7th Heaven" is a very good "show-off" to see her place to day at 15 yo. Even her original from a few months before "Million Miles" (dedicated to her late grandfather, and to all those who have losses of some loved ones) is a very emotional and strong song, quite different from her latest. I sure hope to see you back even with more Angelina. The best of greetings from Norway to you.
Anna, as a frequent listener to reactors who are new to watching and hearing Angelina, I have a different view than some others who often make great suggestions. I am not a big fan of new reactors going to the beginning of her performances (very young NGT, I Got a Spell on You, etc) and making your way to the present. You are never going to have time or inclination to watch 140 videos. I am the opposite opinion, that you start with a couple of her very latest releases (esp. originals) and then a sampling of very early, middle, etc.. Just a thought. Again, thanks for the “deep dive” quality of your efforts.
For me, Angelina is like an Angel, sent to us, during the most difficult times in our lives, to bring us love, inspiration, compassion, & hope for a brighter future ❤️💙 How can we not believe in something greater than us, when we hear her voice ❤️💙 ***LOVED YOUR REACTION*** ❤️💙
Very insightful reaction for this song. Angelina has a very, very deep rabbit hole. Her discovery will bring you much joy and happiness, iMO. She is an amazing gift to humanity.
EXPLORE her over 130 covers and her few originals. She is the barefoot princess of a thousand voices. She has always done her own arrangements for all she sings. Her musicality makes her a prodigy, and I call her the Mozart of the Voice.
Wow! One of the best, maybe best, analyses I’ve seen! And you’re late to the party! For a very early belt see I, Who Have Nothing age 6 in studio. From there she wins Norway’s Got Talent 2014 mostly for grins as a no contest should have been called. And what language are you speaking? The English I got lol.
Thank you very much! ^^ Better late than never huh? I see David and Alexander already filled you in about my nationality/language haha. Stay safe and hang around to see more reaction! xx
@@annavaskelainen A good one to showcase both her talent, playfulness, and "courage." Do select the earlier B&W one where she is between 9 and 10 years old.
Your preview photo shows what you think! I'm looking forward to hearing (reading) what you have to say. I was among the lucky few who watched a posted video of her audition not knowing what the song was ahead of time. Turns out that was pulled down in under 24 hours and then AGT posted their "authorized" video a few days later. In a case like this, I think the added surprise as to her song choice really added to the delight. But I came to it with a couple of years of Angelina, so I knew it would be great no matter what the song was. I have yet to be underwhelmed by anything she's done.
@@annavaskelainen I'm pleased that you have decided to let yourself enjoy her at will. If you tried to do YT reactions to her catalog, you'd never have time for anything else! You'll figure out what you should hold aside for a YT reaction. Mostly, I just hope you are enjoying her under zero pressure!
WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! I just discovered this girl, this performance is outstanding!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Marcelito is OK, but Angelina should have won, IT IS SOOOOO UNFAIR!!! SOOOOO UNFAIR!!!😢😢😢😢😢
This is not a talent show its reality TV . They new if they named a winner it would be a mess all of this show was prearranged all that mess at the beginning was made for tv ,AJ had meeting at Simon's house and a special contract signed before she would appear The golden buzzer ment she only got to sing 3 songs. Remember 50 secrets ballot cast and a tumbling act won.. lol .. lol
@@marvinboswell6889 Spot on comment Marvin. All predetermined once Angelina refused Simon's and AGT's restrictive contracts. They were after her since she won NGT but her family refused. We all know that show is pretty much nonsense run by Simon. She achieved what was necessary, exposure to American Audience who absolutely loved her. The whole "super fan" crap is nothing but BS anyway, so who cares. We all know who the most talented person on that show was and so do the American audience.
Ich liebe die Reaktionen von Reaktoren, die mit Fachwissen erklären, was dieses Mädchen uns schenkt! Seit meiner Kindheit höre ich Musik. Von Klassik über Pop, Rock, Schlager, einfach alles quer Beet. Unser Papa hat sich nach der Arbeit an sein Tonbandgerät gesetzt und Musik aufgenommen, geschnitten und vertont. Daher sind mir alle Stilrichtungen vertraut. Doch ws dieses Stimmwunder uns hier bietet. Es mag gute, sehr gute Sänger, Artisten geben, doch meiner Meinung nach ist Angelina Jodan Astar ein unerreichtes Talent auf allen Gebieten die Sie erwählt. Man bedenke Ihr Alter! Es mag Künstler geben, die auf ihre Art einmalig sind, doch diese mit A.J.A. zu vergleichen ist überhaupt nicht Möglich! Ich denke, wenn wir alle gestorben sind (die meisten Fans, Angels, sind eher gestandene Menschen im Alter weit über 40) wird A.J.A einen Status erreicht haben, der von wenigen auch nur annähernd erreicht werden kann und lange Zeit nicht erreicht wird! Was ich in Ihr sehe ist, daß Sie ein Mozart außerhalb der klassischen Musik ist! Uns bei all Ihren musikalischen Talenten.... Sie spielt dazu noch Klavier, Geige, Flöte Gitarre (?), komponiert und arrangiert selber, Textet und designed, malt, zeichnet.....ein Multitalent mit einer solch reinen Seele und ein Vorbild, was Menschlichkeit betrifft, so daß viele von uns vor Scham erröten müßten! Ich danke Euch #Anna, für diese wunderbare Analyse und Erklärung. Ihr seid mindestens ebenso hübsch und süß, wie Angelina talentiert ist
Hello Ms. Anna Vaskelainen. We thank you for caring about other People in Life... So very Nice!!! You & Miss Jordan are making Huge Difference in Reality!!! Miss. Jordan is sharing her Gift of her lovely Voice & fine Music, while you are sharing your Fantastic TH-cam On Air Hosting & Producing Skills... The two of you are Planting and spreading seeds of Love, Hope & Happiness to all World Wide. It's Miss Jordan's Childhood dream to sing for the World, you are helping make this thought come true!!! Congratulations Anna. Smiles... DD.
Anna, I never stated you said AJ looks up to BI, and thank you for the reply. I enjoyed your great critique of Angelina’s version of Bo Rap and the reactions on your beautiful face as you experienced this genius at the age of 13. I am 74 years old and have had the experience of hearing most of the great vocalist of my time and I have never encountered a being like Angelina Jordan. Every performance from AJ evokes tears of joy and chills. It is not just her voice; it is her total being that is mesmerizing beyond belief.
Fantastic reaction and analysis Anna as always ! I love your breakdown of her vocal techniques and nuances ! Your vocal expertise is at the highest level and is appreciated very much ! You picked up on Angelina's influences quite well .Her background is Jazz from the early age of 1 1/2 yrs old she's been infused by jazz from her family ! Her early sings from Norway's Got Talent will start you in her journey ! She won that show at 7 by her renditions of Gloomy Sunday ,I'm a fool to want you and Summertime ! Her rendition of "I put a spell on you " studio black and white version at 9 yrs old is mind blowing ! She has recorded recently two of her own sings "Million Miles" and " 7th Heaven" that are wonderful ! Thank you so much for reacting to Angelina ! She has a very strong and loyal fan base as you will see ! You have such a beautiful voice and mimic so well and understand the intricacies of vocal techniques ! Keep posting Anna ! Stay safe and healthy ! Thank you 🙏🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
thx Ron! 😊 I am so glad to hear that my videos are informative! I wish my family raised me listening to jazz hehehe! I'll definitely make more Angelina reactions in the future! xx 😊🙏♥️♥️
I really enjoy your comments of Angelina’s song. You are so well informed and very interesting in your comments. Your reactions bring some kind of pleasure to me that is difficult to label. You are obviously very well informed on singing and I am overwelled by your presentation of the comments. Joe from Canada.
You won me with your reaction to Suspicious Minds, now I'm going back and enjoying your other reactions to Angelina. Bohemian rhapsody is my favourite to watch reactions too and this is by far the best reaction i have watched. Your analysis and ability to describe how Angelina creates her sounds is amazing and adds so much more to my understanding of how good Angelina is, your expressions also show how much you enjoyed listening to Angelina. I seen your amazement at discovering such a new unique talent. Thank you 😊🌏
Many here will. Tell you all about AJ . She is now 15 and has been signed to Republic Record as there top priority new artists , she has recorded a jazz song she wrote 7 Heven and a Million Miles she has released a cover of Adel song All I Ask and Michael Jackson Heal the world reallly enjoyed your reaction thumbs 👍 up to you and I subscribed from NC , USA
An interesting review. Please do more Angelina. I listen to jazz/blues all the time these days and I'm so happy that we have young Angelina to carry the flag for this style of music.
A very nice first reaction to Angelina. Thank you. As a vocal coach, you will find much to talk about with almost any of her videos, going all the way back to when she was just starting out in the public eye at 7 and 8 years of age on _Norway's Got Talent_ [Norske Talenter] (by which point she had already gotten perhaps a year or two of vocal training in an afterschool program - before that, her training was informal: listening to and singing along with the greats of vocal jazz and pop, starting from the age of 1½). Interestingly, she doesn't seem to have ever covered Norah Jones, so I assume the vocal similarity (not to mention any musical similarity between this arrangement and "Don't Know Why") is due largely to shared influences and similar musical tastes. In any case, Angelina likes to mix it up and try different things, so your next 10 reactions to her might reveal 10 totally different styles. She has covered Whitney a few times (including, as it turns out, both her very first recorded vocal performance when she was 1½ [singing the title line of Whitney's version of "I Will Always Love You"] and her most recent cover posted just yesterday ["When You Believe"]), but the artists who have most directly influenced her are Billie Holiday, Adele, and Amy Winehouse, all of which she has covered multiple times to great effect. If you want a nice, extensive overview of a lot of Angelina's best stuff, search for Rusty Shackleford's playlist called "Angelina Jordan Live, Through the Years (Chronological)". Look through that list, and pick just anything that jumps out at you. I will call your attention especially to all of her performances on NGT (videos 2-5 in Rusty's list), "What a Difference a Day Makes" (#6), "I Put a Spell on You" (#13), "Feeling Good" on _The Stream Gir Tilbake_ (#22), "Cry Me a River" (#27), "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (#32), "Million Years Ago" (#46), "Born to Die" (#47), "Stay" (#48), "California Dreamin'" (#50), her original song "What Is Life" (#51), "Young and Beautiful" (#57), "Wicked Game" (#58), "Valerie" (#61), another AJ original "Shield" (#62), "I'm Still Holding Out for You" (#63), "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" (#70), "Happier" (#71), "When We Were Young" (#78), her other 2 performances on AGT (#85-86), and (some of) the stuff she has released under the auspices of Republic Records (#88-91), with whom she signed last summer. And there's at least a dozen others not on that list that I would like to point you to, but then I'd probably have to start putting actual links in this comment, which might anger the TH-cam gods… So I will refrain. Looking forward to more AJ reactions…
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest price from 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* 💯🎙
Congratulations! Your the first reactor I've seen (Yes I'm one of those who got wrecked by this child) She is able to keep her larynx open while her cords are open or folding, no moving is more accurate I think, at the same time lower register or fry mixed in runs give a new effect! She has created a new effect! By the way, welcome to the rabbit hole! There will be tears and shock, because this is one of dozens that will blow your mind and never forget!
At age 7, Angelina auditioned for Norway's Got Talent with "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday. Her second audition piece was another Billie Holliday (acapella), "I'm a Fool to Want You." She performed "Bang Bang" and finished with, "Summertime," winning NGT having just turned 8. So, JAZZ! BTW, she has opened for a Norah Jones concert--not sure when/where. I really like your reactions.
Oh yeah, my favorite Finnish vocal coach reacting to one of the great young talents of our time. How can I not listen to this? I do enjoy your insight. Brilliant
Thank you for your reaction to my favorite artist. There are others who do vocals that are initially more impressive with vocal gymnastics and belting, but I bore of them while Angelina touches my soul and I never can get enough of listening to her.
I agree with some of the other comments below. Your analysis of Angelina is absolutely outstanding if not the best I've read to-date. And thanks for the sub-titles. Fred from Florida.
I don't know the story behind that song, which is one of my very favorites from Angelina. Could you please tell me the history of it? Why it won't it be played etc.. thanks!
Great reaction, one of the first people to break down this performance and actually make it interesting. Well done. Don't stop now, you're in for a treat.
This has been up for an hour at this moment. Sorry to get here a little late. At the time she performed here, she was still a thirteen year old girl. A common refrain by people seeing/hearing her for the first time is "old soul". When she auditioned on Norske Talenter, her song choice was "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday. She was Seven (!) years old and she nailed it! I've keeping track of her progress ever since. Since this AGT audition and subsequent performances, she's been signed to >Republic< Records. Your instincts about her bare feet are excellent! I'm impressed, Anna. She always performs barefoot. Per Wikipedia "She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway." There are more details, such as Angelina removing her own shoes and giving them to this new friend who responded by telling Angelina she would remember her in her daily prayers. My request for you to watch her cover (at age ten) "Here Comes the Sun", at the charity Norwegian Refugee Relief was a reflection of her personal values. I'm really happy you have now experienced what she brings. As a bonus, you can expect a whole lot of new visitors to your channel in the next couple of weeks!
"Old soul" - I like that too! This barefoot story is so touching, I've learned this story now reading all the comments ans wow. She is so beautiful inside and out. I just saw "Here comes the sun" and totally loved it! I don't think I could hate any of her performances to be honest though. Be well! xx
@@annavaskelainen You may need to have tissues near you watching her. She has also written some very personal songs recently, and they reveal a depth we are not accustomed to seeing in people her age. I was going to say the possible tears won't be sad tears, but that's only true >most< of the time! I'm glad that you watched her cover of "Here Comes The Sun". I hadn't anticipated her covering that, but so far she hasn't faltered. Even song covers she's done, or doing, by singers outside of her "usual" range - like Whitney Houston, she's handling deftly!
A most delightful and technical reaction. It is most Charming and complementary of our barefoot angel. Your perceptive skill and artistic explanation are a joy to listen to. I look foreword with great anticipation for more reactions of Angelina’s development from age 7 when she became nationally known by winning Norway’s televised talent show.
Thank you! 🥰 I am glad you find my content both entertaining and informative. I will be checking more of Angelina's performances for sure. How could I not do that, after hearing this?!
She wrote a book about not wearing shoes. She met a young girl in a developing country who had no shoes. She gave the girl her shoes and vowed to sing barefoot from then on to remember those less fortunate that she is. The girl said she'd pary for her to be successful.
What a great reaction! Both your knowledge and your appreciation of her talents and techniques draw us in (much like Angelina's voice does). You got many suggestions and links. I hope you go both younger and older as you begin/continue this journey. Lots of classic jazz as well as jazz influence on other covers. Looking forward to the next reaction.
"She could do more demanding stuff, but chooses to keep it simpler here". Exactly, describes Angelina's style to a T. She only ever inserts as much technique as a song requires for maximum impact, no more no less.
Fantastic reaction and analysis of Angelina's vocal ability. Thank you very much. I am a big fan of Angelina Jordan and I hope to watch more reaction videos from you. I was once a fan of Nora Jones. Happy to hear you sing a bit of her signature song. Loved it.
I appreciate the sophistication of your technical reaction, much like I find with Ceci Dover. I am looking forward to hearing/watching more of your reviews of Angelina’s work, as there are a number of quite interesting artistic performances.
Thank you Anna for that wonderful reaction, comments and analysis. There are a few vocal coaches/teachers that I really enjoy listening to with Angelina, CeCi Dover, Vocal Splendor studios to name a couple and you are so very knowledgeable in your comments, a joy to watch. To Angelina's millions of fans (AKA Angels) I'm a sure you will find a lot of support if you continue to react to the music Genius you are watching here. Just saw your reaction to "I put a spell on you" from a 9 year old Angelina but it was a couple months after this one. Would love to hear what you have to say about the child prodigy and sub your channel, just prefer more reactions that are not months apart. Hope you do more from Angelina Anna.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! Yes, there is a lot more of Angelinafor you to see! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Frank Sinatra to Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! Her versatility is unmatched and she can (and often does) bring a touch of jazz to any performance. If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
Hello Anna,listen Angelina sing all l Ask from Adèle and you liste a great voice , émotionnel person and magical moment l love Angelina she great and true artist
WOW, what a wonderful Reaction. Very technical and informative. A little warning here, Angelina is addictive. Oh yes, and she always gives you the unexpected. she as over 130 covers and about six originals, some she penned when she was 10/11. Her covers go back to when she was six years old, though there are pieces of covers as far back to about 18 months old. She also has new music, covers and originals released this year. She was signed with Republic Records when she was 14 (last year). She is 15 today (born in Jan of 2006.) I can’t wait for you’re next reaction of hers.
Only recently found your channel. I subscribed after first view. So glad you have English subs. You are very knowledgeable and I enjoy your reactions. You are also a very beautiful young lady! I'm not flirting, just stating a fact.
I like that you noticed her posture and arms. Also you sing very well :) I'm fascinated with how she uses her arms to sing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" - the belting and chord changes and her arms - its amazing to watch. Her techniques are so graceful and her voice is mesmerizing.
LS If you look closely at her more subtle body movements (hands, head, shoulders, hips, etc.) in ANY performance by Angelina, you'll see that she's always expressively in sync with the beat. It's like the music is flowing through every joint in her body, infusing them with the rhythm. I'll bet she's a fabulous dancer, or could be if so inclined. (This example particularly stands out for me. Watch her left hand starting at 2:53: th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html )
EXCELLENT reaction, Thank You!!! She has been contributing (at least) to the arrangements she sings since she started, and now holds the copyright for this performance. Her originals are really interesting also: What is Life, Oslo, Shield, Million Miles & 7th Heaven. We're hoping for more when her album from Republic Records is released.
You're terrific, Anna. Immediately recognized some of AJ's sources of inspiration. I was impressed too that you were able to duplicate some of AJ's vocal embellishments. Many other reactors try but few managed to succeed. I'd be interested to hear your reaction and analysis of AJ's performance of Yellow Brick Road which has some complexities, at least to my ear, that almost no one picks up on. And of course there is her considerable library of other performances going back quite a few years, many of which demonstrate that she has an expressive range that few other singers today can hope for. Thanks for taking a break from your metal world to respond to Angelina's singing. I hope you and your audience of metal lovers will tolerate you exploring a bit more of Angelina's performances.
awww I am happy to know you get so much out of my reaction! 😊 I have more Angelina coming up, don't worry. Thank you for your lovely comment, hope to see you around in the live chats and here in the comment section in the future too! xx
Thank you Anna for a very deep and erudite analysis. One of the very best among hundreds of reactions I have seen. Sometime, check out Angelina singing "I Put a Spell on You" at age 9, the black and white studio version. It is mind-blowing, and would love to hear your thoughts.
Like before watching:) That girl is awesome. And I love your singing too;) There are too many "vocal coaches" on YT who can only say 'wow' or 'headvoice, chestvoice'. Nothing more) But the way you understand the subject, explain the technique... This is the high level, I think. Love it. Thank you, Anya.
with 15 she is already an icon,,,,legend in making,,,,a one in a lifetime experience,,,,,,her covers most of the time ,,,,,,,,yes better then the originals,,,,,,,and she is the only one we can musically trust ,,,,,,always because she heals and redefine us as well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I've seen a lot of Angelina Jordan reactions recently and many from vocal coaches but yours is standing out. You were not just admiring her talent or analyzing the performance but also tasting the song dip by dip as a professional wine expert would enjoy a glass of extraordinary quality wine, discovering all the tiniest details and nuances.
Thank you so much Peter! 🥰🙏 I am very happy to hear that you like my content!
It's funny: I actually caught myself describing a song much like a wine expert during my Nightwish "Romanticide"-reaction. You might want to check that self-ironic moment thehe xx
I agree I've listened/watched many other reactions to this performance, but I learned so much more from your analysis.
Nem mondod hogy van még egy magyar Angelina fan? Ez nagyon jó!
You speak my mind, Peter! I very much appreciated Anna's multi- faceted reaction and her sensual acuity.
@@krisamagus1 én is magar vagyok és szerettem Angelinát
Hearing Angelina sing "I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I've never been born at all"... and then watching her Mom, wiping away the tears from little sister Juliettes face, gets me every time !
oh it was her mom and little sis!
@@annavaskelainen And to her mom's left was grandma Mery (mom's mom) and to Juliette's right was Uncle Michael (mom's brother) who is her manager..
ANNA VASKALEINAN BEST REACTOR. She is unbelievable, extra-ordinary and creator🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🥰
The biggest surprise here is that this is the first time you’ve heard Angelina. How can that be? I think she is the best singer I’ve ever heard-and that goes across many genres. I won’t repeat all the things the other commenters already said, but you just need to start listening. To get an idea of Angelina’s flexibility-and why she’s call the girl with a thousand voices-listen to her cover of Etta James’ I’d Rather Go Blind. The soul you heard in Bohemian Rhapsody is turned up about 200%. Or for Angelina in full upbeat jazz mode, listen to her original, Seventh Heaven-vibes of Amy Winehouse and old school jazz.
Her voice is magical, and her ability to cover so many styles authentically is hard to believe. When I said she’s the best singer I’ve ever heard, I wasn’t exaggerating. I’ve followed music for over seventy years. Angelina is absolutely the best. Just start listening.
Thank you for this reaction video and welcome to Angelina’s world.
Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong.
Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.
After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down.
Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan.
Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions.
At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities.
Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come.
Thank you for reading.
P.S. Angelina Jordan just released a new cover song of Whitney Houston featuring Mariah Carey “When You Believe” here is the link th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html
I would love if you can react to it.
Thanks again
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 140 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and 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.
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 15, 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, Norah 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 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.

One of the most mesmerizing performances I have ever seen ❤ Angelina Jordan is pure magic 👍
I don't disagree with you at all on this. xx
Beautiful and informative reaction which will help make more people aware of Angelina Jordan and we angels (fans) greatly appreciate that. 13 year old Angelina created a genius arrangement for one of the most beloved songs on Earth then delivered a flawless performance. Angelina is a true music prodigy but the only one I know who specializes in vocals. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. The reason she always performs without shoes is included in the biography I compiled for her. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl. 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 still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible until she completes high school and so far it appears that is the plan.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Angelina Jordan just dropped a new cover today by Republic Records, When You Believe. She is now 15.
Yes. th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html
Sung by a young vocalist with an "Old Soul" . Very impressive. This is the first time I have heard her sing. Now I need to hear her more. As always, our reactor Anna is as passionate as ever about what she does. You go girl !!
Hi, David, I'm delighted that you have discovered the most talented and versatile singer living today. If you decide to begin the long, long journey of following her career, I can guarantee you will never be disappointed at any performance. Go to Rusty Shackleford's TH-cam channel, where he has created a list of Angelina's Live performances in chronological order from age 7 to present

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Anna for this wonderfully informative first reaction to Angelina, my favorite singer in the world. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction!
🎵❤️
OK. You passed the entrance exam for reacting and explaining Angelina's music. I look forward to watching your journey through Angelina's world of originals and her 135 magnificent covers from 84 artists. Welcome aboard.
Let's go!
The story of her bare feet is one of unbelievable commitment and caring. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling in the middle east (her grandmother is Iranian), and she came across a young girl close to her age who was working in the street offering to weigh people with a bathroom scale for money. She had no shoes on her feet and her feet were cracked and in pretty bad shape. They talked for a while and then the little girl mentioned how nice she thought Angelina's shoes were. Angelina asked her if she had any shoes and she said no, so Angelina gave her the shoes off her feet. Angelina asked her what her dreams were and the little girl said she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told the little girl that she wanted to be a star and sing for the world. The little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day and asked Angelina to not forget about her. Angelina made a promise at that time that any time she sang in public she would sing barefoot to remember this little girl and bring awareness to the suffering of children around the world. To this day, over 7 years later, she has stayed true to that commitment. She remains a very grounded and humble young lady She has spent the past 7 years pouring out her soul and her talent to help people who are not as fortunate as her. She donated much, if not most of her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children's charities and has performed in benefit concerts across the globe in support of disadvantaged children and other social causes (raising over 20 million Euros).
Beautifully stated, Phil. A pleasure to read. Thank you.
Aww, how sweet! 🥰
Thank you and bow.
@@jaypierce7125 Angelina makes poets of us all.
Yes, I am much impressed by the tidbit she offered in an interview 3 years later. She added, unprompted, "the shoes were my favourite sea-green ankle boots" in a whistful voice, like she was still clearly remembering them. For a 6 year old to offer such a treasured possession to a stranger simply because the stranger needed them is just amazing! So unlike a small child
She showed us her hand written diary pages where the memory was recorded in the neat printing of a (precossious) six year old.
And 3000 people held their breath and listen to what no one expected , a top notch performance on the biggest stage in the world with millions watching on television all over the world ..
I am looking forward to this. I feel it is good thing to have waited, to let you introduce me to Lady Jordan.
how was it? Sorry I didn't make it to live chat I had a music video photoshoot on that day! xx
@@annavaskelainen I did like your analysis to it. The song itself not so much. Is there a new track of yours coming out?
@@chriscross2473 yes ;)
When she does that belt, oh my god the goosebumps. Loved the reaction as usual. With her you can't go wrong.
that belt note is fantastic. I could just listen to it on repeat. xx
@@annavaskelainen the fact that she can hit that was a surprise because of her interpretation I assumed she was a one trick pony with that wonderful soulful voice, which by itself is amazing, but her hitting that means she does this style by choice and not limitation which just makes her even more special. She is an old soul with enormous talent. Again thank you for the way you express and feel during these reactions, trully genuine.
@@jjoao32
I loved your reaction to Angelina.
Be sure to react to her performance of I Put A Spell On You (black & white version) as it will blow you away.
Angelina Jordan - I Put A Spell On You
th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
As a vocal coach, you may find the early black and white version of I put a spell on your very scary for her future. Her coaches made sure that she did not continue to go that way. There are some much safer versions as she got older.
@@hobartrdh, right you are, though (and even more since we know her now and hear it did no harm...) I'm really thankful we have this extraordinary rendition (and moreover in excellent recording quality both on audio and video), it still blows me away everytime I listen to it... - perhaps they should put an advice to it "do not try this at home" or the likes... :-D
Knowing Angelina she probably arranged this herself she is truly a musical prodigy thank you for the reaction Anna
Not 'probably' ... definitely! See your own comment about copyright, below ...
G.O.A.T. Angelina ❤
Tervetuloa kyytiin, Anna. Thanks for this first beautiful reaction and analysis with Angelina.
At only 13, Angelina created a version of Bohemian so simple and exciting that it gets under your skin and never goes never, you can listen to it as many times as you want, but she always moves you. This little girl is a genius and a real musical talent, I don't know how to describe her otherwise. It's really amazing how this little girl has dealt with the greatest songs of the last decades, often performed by the most talented singers, no matter if women or men, and has inevitably managed to appropriate the song, adapt it to her sensitivity and turn it into another song, often better than the original.❤️
I always enjoy a professional voice coach analyzing Angelina. They point out the many subtle and complicated things she does with her voice that no one else has ever done before, at least not all in one song. Her ability to do these things is innate, not learned from many years of coaching. The rest of us just feel the song, the chills, the goosebumps, the tears. Just look at her performance of the Tom Jones classic "I Who Have Nothing" at age six. She is never scared or nervous. It is like she knows it is going to be wonderful and she is happy to share it with everyone.
Your learn that Angelina can change her vocal technique at will, and utilize whatever vocal tools she believes are appropriate for the performance.
The Got Talent franchise in America had its best moment with the presence of Angelina Jordan, definitely.
Thank you, Anna, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it extremely 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 millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
and I hope she understands that.
Angelina did the amazing arrangement herself, like she does all her cover songs. It's so amazing.
wow!
She has two tons of talent crammed into a young woman's body! Incredible talent!
Best voice in 4.5 million years.
She's your new favorite performer of all time, you just don't know it yet.
Every time she will blow your mind this is a promise from me.
She's just out of this world.
Thank you Anna for your in depth reaction of my favorite singer, Angelina. She is very versatile, in many genres and does great justice to covers. Will subscribe for Angelina, thumbs up lady.
Thank you for taking on this sugestion. Looking forward to this and many more for both Angelina and Aurora.. 😉
🥰
This little lady?
Honestly I can't find the words to describe her. She is so amazing, from why she doesn't wear shoes, to the outfit she is wearing is handmade by herself. And that voice I can only describe as angelic 👼. But let's not forget You❤️ you are a gift to us all.
Peace ☮️ to you and yours pretty lady ❤️
Angelina is very creative and clearly has her own thing going on! 🥰
Thank you Ken, your words made my day. ❤️ Be well. xx
@@annavaskelainen ❤️☮️❤️
🥰
@@annavaskelainen The "little lady?'' comment also applies to her being 186 cm. tall.
Angelina always sings barefoot, can't remember why anymore... Was it something she promised to somebody else? Anyway, she still was a little lady when she started singing. Won Norway's talent at the age of seven if I remeber correctly :D
My personal favorite of hers is I put a spell on you th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
"I Put A Spell On You' - B&W version is a must - 9 years old
I must see and hear this!
@@annavaskelainen I don't think you'll be disappointed with the final performance but I have to agree with others who have mentioned that as a vocal coach you may not recommend the "style" as a frequent practice for your developing students. Lol. (In all later performances of the same song, Angelina toned it down several notches.) th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
@@DavidBrianPaley I used to like her studio version best, but after listening to her live performance in Germany at age 10 a few times I started to like the live version better. Her technique is better (maybe less harmful?) and her voice has matured a little. But her ability in both versions is stunning. th-cam.com/video/eASqvRGt46k/w-d-xo.html
@@timelston4260 I agree.
@@timelston4260 Yes, I consider the 2015 version to be the 'concept' design, in the Germany version, 2017, she had the more refined yet still passionate 'production' version that she could perform regularly, as she did in Seoul later that year.
Anna , you are very talented and it was a pleasure to listen to you react to our barefoot princess. She is now 15 and her voice is naturally continuing to change and it is getting better and better. I'm sure, by now, you have listened to her sing this to you privately and you will feel the sensations within you grow more and more each time she sings this song.
There is so much for you to learn about Angelina and you will receive lots of data from people all over the world. I will tell you, Anna, as talented as she is musically, she is equally just as wonderful as a human being. When she sings she reaches down to the depths of her soul and her voice carries straight to our hearts.
I have subscribed. I am from New Jersey, USA, and I must say your English subtitles were done very well. Please continue to react to Angelina.
In closing, I have a thought and I hope it brings a smile to your face. One of your students may have tuned in to watch this and during, or just after the video, your student may have uttered out loud, "Wow! I knew Anna was great but I had no idea she is this great!"
Take care and be well!
Hi Robert and thank you! ^^ I am happy to know you liked my content and appreciated the subs.
I used to live in Scotland studying and teaching music.
Your kind words really made my day, thank you very much again. Stay safe there and hope to see you around here in the comments again! xx
This is just great Anna. I`m so looking forward to follow your experiences, your reactions and know-how baced comments to Angelina`s performances and skills.
Prepare yourself for massive storm on views and comments.
🥰🥰 Hope you'll like it! xx
@@annavaskelainen I have a strong strong feeling;
- this one I`m gonna like. :-D
@@annavaskelainen This was so nice. All my whishes and hopes was fullfilled. Your videos are longer than most reactors, but for some reason they are over faster than most. How can that be ? :-D It`s simple; - you are so well spoken and interesting, and not at least; very educative.
Thank you for this.
Angelina`s latest original from earlier this year, "7th Heaven" is a very good "show-off" to see her place to day at 15 yo. Even her original from a few months before "Million Miles" (dedicated to her late grandfather, and to all those who have losses of some loved ones) is a very emotional and strong song, quite different from her latest.
I sure hope to see you back even with more Angelina. The best of greetings from Norway to you.
awww thank you for your sweet words! 🥰 I am so glad you enjoy my content.
I'll definitely check more of Angelina's performances in the future! xx
Anna, as a frequent listener to reactors who are new to watching and hearing Angelina, I have a different view than some others who often make great suggestions. I am not a big fan of new reactors going to the beginning of her performances (very young NGT, I Got a Spell on You, etc) and making your way to the present. You are never going to have time or inclination to watch 140 videos. I am the opposite opinion, that you start with a couple of her very latest releases (esp. originals) and then a sampling of very early, middle, etc.. Just a thought. Again, thanks for the “deep dive” quality of your efforts.
For me, Angelina is like an Angel, sent to us, during the most difficult times in our lives, to bring us love, inspiration, compassion, & hope for a brighter future ❤️💙 How can we not believe in something greater than us, when we hear her voice ❤️💙 ***LOVED YOUR REACTION*** ❤️💙
Thank you sweetheart! ❤️💙 xxx
Very insightful reaction for this song. Angelina has a very, very deep rabbit hole. Her discovery will bring you much joy and happiness, iMO. She is an amazing gift to humanity.
😊😊😊
EXPLORE her over 130 covers and her few originals. She is the barefoot princess of a thousand voices. She has always done her own arrangements for all she sings. Her musicality makes her a prodigy, and I call her the Mozart of the Voice.
Wow! One of the best, maybe best, analyses I’ve seen! And you’re late to the party! For a very early belt see I, Who Have Nothing age 6 in studio. From there she wins Norway’s Got Talent 2014 mostly for grins as a no contest should have been called. And what language are you speaking? The English I got lol.
She’s speaking Finnish .
@@davidlarkin3506 I hope she's not Finnished with Angelina! 🤣
Finnish:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_language
Thank you very much! ^^ Better late than never huh?
I see David and Alexander already filled you in about my nationality/language haha.
Stay safe and hang around to see more reaction! xx
@Anna: A very thoughtful and intelligent reaction. Thank you! And... you have so much more to hear from this young lady -- from age six onward.
Thank you very much. :) I'm thinking of "I put a spell on you" next time I'm reacting to her!
@@annavaskelainen A good one to showcase both her talent, playfulness, and "courage." Do select the earlier B&W one where she is between 9 and 10 years old.
There is no singer alive today that compares to her. The emotion is so powerful in everything she does.
Best talent I ever heard in my 64 years. Already a legend. Welcome to her world
Your preview photo shows what you think! I'm looking forward to hearing (reading) what you have to say. I was among the lucky few who watched a posted video of her audition not knowing what the song was ahead of time. Turns out that was pulled down in under 24 hours and then AGT posted their "authorized" video a few days later. In a case like this, I think the added surprise as to her song choice really added to the delight. But I came to it with a couple of years of Angelina, so I knew it would be great no matter what the song was. I have yet to be underwhelmed by anything she's done.
100% :D
I hope you liked my reaction as a person who has been listening to her a lot! xx
@@annavaskelainen I'm pleased that you have decided to let yourself enjoy her at will. If you tried to do YT reactions to her catalog, you'd never have time for anything else!
You'll figure out what you should hold aside for a YT reaction.
Mostly, I just hope you are enjoying her under zero pressure!
WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! I just discovered this girl, this performance is outstanding!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Marcelito is OK, but Angelina should have won, IT IS SOOOOO UNFAIR!!! SOOOOO UNFAIR!!!😢😢😢😢😢
This is not a talent show its reality TV . They new if they named a winner it would be a mess all of this show was prearranged all that mess at the beginning was made for tv ,AJ had meeting at Simon's house and a special contract signed before she would appear The golden buzzer ment she only got to sing 3 songs. Remember 50 secrets ballot cast and a tumbling act won.. lol .. lol
@@marvinboswell6889 Spot on comment Marvin. All predetermined once Angelina refused Simon's and AGT's restrictive contracts. They were after her since she won NGT but her family refused. We all know that show is pretty much nonsense run by Simon. She achieved what was necessary, exposure to American Audience who absolutely loved her. The whole "super fan" crap is nothing but BS anyway, so who cares. We all know who the most talented person on that show was and so do the American audience.
Ich liebe die Reaktionen von Reaktoren, die mit Fachwissen erklären, was dieses Mädchen uns schenkt! Seit meiner Kindheit höre ich Musik. Von Klassik über Pop, Rock, Schlager, einfach alles quer Beet. Unser Papa hat sich nach der Arbeit an sein Tonbandgerät gesetzt und Musik aufgenommen, geschnitten und vertont. Daher sind mir alle Stilrichtungen vertraut. Doch ws dieses Stimmwunder uns hier bietet. Es mag gute, sehr gute Sänger, Artisten geben, doch meiner Meinung nach ist Angelina Jodan Astar ein unerreichtes Talent auf allen Gebieten die Sie erwählt. Man bedenke Ihr Alter! Es mag Künstler geben, die auf ihre Art einmalig sind, doch diese mit A.J.A. zu vergleichen ist überhaupt nicht Möglich!
Ich denke, wenn wir alle gestorben sind (die meisten Fans, Angels, sind eher gestandene Menschen im Alter weit über 40) wird A.J.A einen Status erreicht haben, der von wenigen auch nur annähernd erreicht werden kann und lange Zeit nicht erreicht wird!
Was ich in Ihr sehe ist, daß Sie ein Mozart außerhalb der klassischen Musik ist!
Uns bei all Ihren musikalischen Talenten.... Sie spielt dazu noch Klavier, Geige, Flöte Gitarre (?), komponiert und arrangiert selber, Textet und designed, malt, zeichnet.....ein Multitalent mit einer solch reinen Seele und ein Vorbild, was Menschlichkeit betrifft, so daß viele von uns vor Scham erröten müßten!
Ich danke Euch #Anna, für diese wunderbare Analyse und Erklärung. Ihr seid mindestens ebenso hübsch und süß, wie Angelina talentiert ist
Kiitos Anna 🙏🇳🇴
Kiitos Tom!

Never really listened to much Jazz before I discovered AJ. Now I listen to it every day.
ahhh! Angelina: the gate drug into the world of jazz!
@@annavaskelainen I'm addicted now, lol
@@grogueQ welcome to the jazzy side.
Anna, I never stated you said AJ looks up to BI, and thank you for the reply. I enjoyed your great critique of Angelina’s version of Bo Rap and the reactions on your beautiful face as you experienced this genius at the age of 13. I am 74 years old and have had the experience of hearing most of the great vocalist of my time and I have never encountered a being like Angelina Jordan. Every performance from AJ evokes tears of joy and chills. It is not just her voice; it is her total being that is mesmerizing beyond belief.
Fantastic reaction and analysis Anna as always ! I love your breakdown of her vocal techniques and nuances ! Your vocal expertise is at the highest level and is appreciated very much ! You picked up on Angelina's influences quite well .Her background is Jazz from the early age of 1 1/2 yrs old she's been infused by jazz from her family ! Her early sings from Norway's Got Talent will start you in her journey ! She won that show at 7 by her renditions of Gloomy Sunday ,I'm a fool to want you and Summertime ! Her rendition of "I put a spell on you " studio black and white version at 9 yrs old is mind blowing ! She has recorded recently two of her own sings "Million Miles" and " 7th Heaven" that are wonderful ! Thank you so much for reacting to Angelina ! She has a very strong and loyal fan base as you will see ! You have such a beautiful voice and mimic so well and understand the intricacies of vocal techniques ! Keep posting Anna ! Stay safe and healthy ! Thank you 🙏🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
thx Ron! 😊 I am so glad to hear that my videos are informative!
I wish my family raised me listening to jazz hehehe!
I'll definitely make more Angelina reactions in the future! xx 😊🙏♥️♥️
Love your reactions. Very technical and well thought out. Let's have much, much more on Angelina!!! ...and you will enjoy them all!
😊😊😊 I'm totally in for more Angelina!
she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you are adorable with your reactions
😍
I really enjoy your comments of Angelina’s song. You are so well informed and very interesting in your comments. Your reactions bring some kind of pleasure to me that is difficult to label. You are obviously very well informed on singing and I am overwelled by your presentation of the comments. Joe from Canada.
🥰🙏🎶
You won me with your reaction to Suspicious Minds, now I'm going back and enjoying your other reactions to Angelina. Bohemian rhapsody is my favourite to watch reactions too and this is by far the best reaction i have watched. Your analysis and ability to describe how Angelina creates her sounds is amazing and adds so much more to my understanding of how good Angelina is, your expressions also show how much you enjoyed listening to Angelina. I seen your amazement at discovering such a new unique talent. Thank you
😊🌏
awwwee I'm happy to know you enjoy my content so much! ❤️
her versatillity will astound you. hold onto your seat .
I shall!
Many here will. Tell you all about AJ . She is now 15 and has been signed to Republic Record as there top priority new artists , she has recorded a jazz song she wrote 7 Heven and a Million Miles she has released a cover of Adel song All I Ask and Michael Jackson Heal the world reallly enjoyed your reaction thumbs 👍 up to you and I subscribed from NC , USA
An interesting review. Please do more Angelina.
I listen to jazz/blues all the time these days and I'm so happy that we have young Angelina to carry the flag for this style of music.
Thank you, sure will! 😊
I love love love jazz too. Jazz is timeless.
A very nice first reaction to Angelina. Thank you. As a vocal coach, you will find much to talk about with almost any of her videos, going all the way back to when she was just starting out in the public eye at 7 and 8 years of age on _Norway's Got Talent_ [Norske Talenter] (by which point she had already gotten perhaps a year or two of vocal training in an afterschool program - before that, her training was informal: listening to and singing along with the greats of vocal jazz and pop, starting from the age of 1½). Interestingly, she doesn't seem to have ever covered Norah Jones, so I assume the vocal similarity (not to mention any musical similarity between this arrangement and "Don't Know Why") is due largely to shared influences and similar musical tastes. In any case, Angelina likes to mix it up and try different things, so your next 10 reactions to her might reveal 10 totally different styles.
She has covered Whitney a few times (including, as it turns out, both her very first recorded vocal performance when she was 1½ [singing the title line of Whitney's version of "I Will Always Love You"] and her most recent cover posted just yesterday ["When You Believe"]), but the artists who have most directly influenced her are Billie Holiday, Adele, and Amy Winehouse, all of which she has covered multiple times to great effect.
If you want a nice, extensive overview of a lot of Angelina's best stuff, search for Rusty Shackleford's playlist called "Angelina Jordan Live, Through the Years (Chronological)". Look through that list, and pick just anything that jumps out at you. I will call your attention especially to all of her performances on NGT (videos 2-5 in Rusty's list), "What a Difference a Day Makes" (#6), "I Put a Spell on You" (#13), "Feeling Good" on _The Stream Gir Tilbake_ (#22), "Cry Me a River" (#27), "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (#32), "Million Years Ago" (#46), "Born to Die" (#47), "Stay" (#48), "California Dreamin'" (#50), her original song "What Is Life" (#51), "Young and Beautiful" (#57), "Wicked Game" (#58), "Valerie" (#61), another AJ original "Shield" (#62), "I'm Still Holding Out for You" (#63), "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" (#70), "Happier" (#71), "When We Were Young" (#78), her other 2 performances on AGT (#85-86), and (some of) the stuff she has released under the auspices of Republic Records (#88-91), with whom she signed last summer.
And there's at least a dozen others not on that list that I would like to point you to, but then I'd probably have to start putting actual links in this comment, which might anger the TH-cam gods… So I will refrain.
Looking forward to more AJ reactions…
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest price from 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* 💯🎙
Thank you Anna!!! I love your technical comments and reactions!!!
thx Carlos! 😊 Glad you find me informative!
Congratulations! Your the first reactor I've seen (Yes I'm one of those who got wrecked by this child) She is able to keep her larynx open while her cords are open or folding, no moving is more accurate I think, at the same time lower register or fry mixed in runs give a new effect! She has created a new effect! By the way, welcome to the rabbit hole! There will be tears and shock, because this is one of dozens that will blow your mind and never forget!
At age 7, Angelina auditioned for Norway's Got Talent with "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday. Her second audition piece was another Billie Holliday (acapella), "I'm a Fool to Want You." She performed "Bang Bang" and finished with, "Summertime," winning NGT having just turned 8. So, JAZZ! BTW, she has opened for a Norah Jones concert--not sure when/where. I really like your reactions.
Seoul ... aged 10
Oh yeah, my favorite Finnish vocal coach reacting to one of the great young talents of our time. How can I not listen to this? I do enjoy your insight. Brilliant
🥰🥰 aww you!
Thank you for your reaction to my favorite artist. There are others who do vocals that are initially more impressive with vocal gymnastics and belting, but I bore of them while Angelina touches my soul and I never can get enough of listening to her.
I agree with some of the other comments below. Your analysis of Angelina is absolutely outstanding if not the best I've read to-date. And thanks for the sub-titles. Fred from Florida.
Thank you Frederic!
To bad her stunning performance when she sing "i'm still holding out for you" never will be played on radio or TV. That was a masterpiece from her.
totally agreed. The song that never was.
Let's not lose hope. She has adapted other songs with dark or inappropriate themes. Gloomy Sunday was once banned for its connection to suicide.
I don't know the story behind that song, which is one of my very favorites from Angelina. Could you please tell me the history of it? Why it won't it be played etc.. thanks!
@@patriciasepulveda1264 It apparently refers to suicide.
Jazz? You must listen to more Angelina! She will surprise you time after time! Enjoyed hearing your thoughts. Kiitos!
Great reaction, one of the first people to break down this performance and actually make it interesting. Well done. Don't stop now, you're in for a treat.
Thank you so much for your sweet message! ^^ I'll make sure to check more of Angelina in the future!
This has been up for an hour at this moment. Sorry to get here a little late.
At the time she performed here, she was still a thirteen year old girl. A common refrain by people seeing/hearing her for the first time is "old soul". When she auditioned on Norske Talenter, her song choice was "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday. She was Seven (!) years old and she nailed it! I've keeping track of her progress ever since.
Since this AGT audition and subsequent performances, she's been signed to >Republic< Records.
Your instincts about her bare feet are excellent! I'm impressed, Anna. She always performs barefoot. Per Wikipedia "She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway." There are more details, such as Angelina removing her own shoes and giving them to this new friend who responded by telling Angelina she would remember her in her daily prayers.
My request for you to watch her cover (at age ten) "Here Comes the Sun", at the charity Norwegian Refugee Relief was a reflection of her personal values.
I'm really happy you have now experienced what she brings. As a bonus, you can expect a whole lot of new visitors to your channel in the next couple of weeks!
"Old soul" - I like that too! This barefoot story is so touching, I've learned this story now reading all the comments ans wow. She is so beautiful inside and out.
I just saw "Here comes the sun" and totally loved it! I don't think I could hate any of her performances to be honest though.
Be well! xx
@@annavaskelainen You may need to have tissues near you watching her. She has also written some very personal songs recently, and they reveal a depth we are not accustomed to seeing in people her age. I was going to say the possible tears won't be sad tears, but that's only true >most< of the time!
I'm glad that you watched her cover of "Here Comes The Sun". I hadn't anticipated her covering that, but so far she hasn't faltered.
Even song covers she's done, or doing, by singers outside of her "usual" range - like Whitney Houston, she's handling deftly!
@@thetommyyaya4994 I'll make sure to have some tissues next time I'm reacting to her!
@@annavaskelainen Better to have them and not need them than to need them and have to use your… sleeve!
tommy She signed with Republic Records.
Angelina sings a lot of.Jazz classics, and she has made them relevant again.
Jazz is timeless!
A most delightful and technical reaction. It is most Charming and complementary of our barefoot angel. Your perceptive skill and artistic explanation are a joy to listen to. I look foreword with great anticipation for more reactions of Angelina’s development from age 7 when she became nationally known by winning Norway’s televised talent show.
Thank you! 🥰 I am glad you find my content both entertaining and informative.
I will be checking more of Angelina's performances for sure. How could I not do that,
after hearing this?!
Awesome reaction! Thank you!
thx! 😊
Wow! you got her influencers exactly right ,, well done
She wrote a book about not wearing shoes. She met a young girl in a developing country who had no shoes. She gave the girl her shoes and vowed to sing barefoot from then on to remember those less fortunate that she is. The girl said she'd pary for her to be successful.
What a great reaction! Both your knowledge and your appreciation of her talents and techniques draw us in (much like Angelina's voice does). You got many suggestions and links. I hope you go both younger and older as you begin/continue this journey. Lots of classic jazz as well as jazz influence on other covers. Looking forward to the next reaction.
Bohemian Angelina!!! 😇🥰😍 Thanks for your reaction, like 👍
🥰
@@annavaskelainen Bohemian Anna! 🤩
"She could do more demanding stuff, but chooses to keep it simpler here". Exactly, describes Angelina's style to a T. She only ever inserts as much technique as a song requires for maximum impact, no more no less.
Fantastic reaction and analysis of Angelina's vocal ability. Thank you very much. I am a big fan of Angelina Jordan and I hope to watch more reaction videos from you. I was once a fan of Nora Jones. Happy to hear you sing a bit of her signature song. Loved it.
Your reactions (analysis) are really great! Thanks.
I appreciate the sophistication of your technical reaction, much like I find with Ceci Dover. I am looking forward to hearing/watching more of your reviews of Angelina’s work, as there are a number of quite interesting artistic performances.
Hi Christoper and thank you for your lovely comment! 😊 Happy to hear you find me informative.
More Angelina is definitely coming! xx
Thank you Anna for that wonderful reaction, comments and analysis. There are a few vocal coaches/teachers that I really enjoy listening to with Angelina, CeCi Dover, Vocal Splendor studios to name a couple and you are so very knowledgeable in your comments, a joy to watch. To Angelina's millions of fans (AKA Angels) I'm a sure you will find a lot of support if you continue to react to the music Genius you are watching here. Just saw your reaction to "I put a spell on you" from a 9 year old Angelina but it was a couple months after this one. Would love to hear what you have to say about the child prodigy and sub your channel, just prefer more reactions that are not months apart. Hope you do more from Angelina Anna.
Hi Carl and thank you for your lovely comment! Glad to know you like my delivery. 😊
I'll definitely do more Angelina in the future, I promise! xx
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! Yes, there is a lot more of Angelinafor you to see! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Frank Sinatra to Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! Her versatility is unmatched and she can (and often does) bring a touch of jazz to any performance.
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
Hello Anna,listen Angelina sing all l Ask from Adèle and you liste a great voice , émotionnel person and magical moment l love Angelina she great and true artist
Wow! Awesome reaction! I can’t wait to hear more from you!
🥰🥰🥰
WOW, what a wonderful Reaction. Very technical and informative. A little warning here, Angelina is addictive. Oh yes, and she always gives you the unexpected. she as over 130 covers and about six originals, some she penned when she was 10/11. Her covers go back to when she was six years old, though there are pieces of covers as far back to about 18 months old. She also has new music, covers and originals released this year. She was signed with Republic Records when she was 14 (last year). She is 15 today (born in Jan of 2006.) I can’t wait for you’re next reaction of hers.
Great reaction.
Only recently found your channel. I subscribed after first view. So glad you have English subs. You are very knowledgeable and I enjoy your reactions. You are also a very beautiful young lady! I'm not flirting, just stating a fact.
Hi Dave, welcome to the gang! ^^ I'm very happy to hear you like my content! xx
Hi Anna this is the first time I have encountered you and I have already put you in my top 10 reactors I hope you do more of Angelina
Thank you for your lovely message Gary!
Thank you for your reaction and excellent analysis. I don't like jazz but love it when Angelina sings it.
I like that you noticed her posture and arms. Also you sing very well :)
I'm fascinated with how she uses her arms to sing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" - the belting and chord changes and her arms - its amazing to watch.
Her techniques are so graceful and her voice is mesmerizing.
Hi! Thank you for your lovely message. 😊 I will have to check her Whitney cover now, you got me curious haha!
LS If you look closely at her more subtle body movements (hands, head, shoulders, hips, etc.) in ANY performance by Angelina, you'll see that she's always expressively in sync with the beat. It's like the music is flowing through every joint in her body, infusing them with the rhythm. I'll bet she's a fabulous dancer, or could be if so inclined. (This example particularly stands out for me. Watch her left hand starting at 2:53: th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html )
EXCELLENT reaction, Thank You!!! She has been contributing (at least) to the arrangements she sings since she started, and now holds the copyright for this performance. Her originals are really interesting also: What is Life, Oslo, Shield, Million Miles & 7th Heaven. We're hoping for more when her album from Republic Records is released.
thx! 😊 I'll take a looksie of some of her originals!
You are very good at this. Well done.
You're terrific, Anna. Immediately recognized some of AJ's sources of inspiration. I was impressed too that you were able to duplicate some of AJ's vocal embellishments. Many other reactors try but few managed to succeed. I'd be interested to hear your reaction and analysis of AJ's performance of Yellow Brick Road which has some complexities, at least to my ear, that almost no one picks up on. And of course there is her considerable library of other performances going back quite a few years, many of which demonstrate that she has an expressive range that few other singers today can hope for. Thanks for taking a break from your metal world to respond to Angelina's singing. I hope you and your audience of metal lovers will tolerate you exploring a bit more of Angelina's performances.
awww I am happy to know you get so much out of my reaction! 😊 I have more Angelina coming up, don't worry. Thank you for your lovely comment, hope to see you around in the live chats and here in the comment section in the future too! xx
Loved your reaction and technical analysis... thanks a lot...
thx! ^^
Just a little note: she arranged this herself, and Queen loved and endorsed her version of their song.
Please react to her last own song 7th Heaven. She is a wonderful songwriter too and is able to arrange a new jazzy stile for dancing
Not are you describing her performance with great detail, you are a beautiful woman. ;)
Thank you so much for the translations! I've enjoyed your vocal analysis and demonstrations very much, it was very insightful!
Thank you very much for your lovely message. 😊 I'm glad you find me informative!
Thank you Anna for a very deep and erudite analysis. One of the very best among hundreds of reactions I have seen. Sometime, check out Angelina singing "I Put a Spell on You" at age 9, the black and white studio version. It is mind-blowing, and would love to hear your thoughts.
Like before watching:)
That girl is awesome.
And I love your singing too;)
There are too many "vocal coaches" on YT who can only say 'wow' or 'headvoice, chestvoice'. Nothing more) But the way you understand the subject, explain the technique...
This is the high level, I think. Love it. Thank you, Anya.
with 15 she is already an icon,,,,legend in making,,,,a one in a lifetime experience,,,,,,her covers most of the time ,,,,,,,,yes better then the originals,,,,,,,and she is the only one we can musically trust ,,,,,,always because she heals and redefine us as well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Very insightful and interesting reaction, new sub for more Angelina.
