Angelina delivering the most beautifully artistic punches to a song and because of her special voice she began, is now, and in the future will use that special voice to continue to punch at covers. Her voice is why she is my favorite singer...any age. Thumbs up Harri.
I hate to tell you but she is not even 11 here, she is actually 10 & about to leave Oslo with her team for an extended tour of the US. A couple of years later she & family moved to LA for her career & she resides there today. By this age, she had a fully adult voice & I believe she can be fairly compared to any professional vocalists regardless of her age. This is smooth, sophisticated, jazz perfection by a little girl on a rooftop in Oslo.
Ella was rated #1, out of the Top 50 Jazz Singers of All Time. That being said. When Angelina takes on Ella's iconic song, all she does differently from Ella is slowing it down. It proves the saying, 'less can be more', for Angelina's version just permeates the human soul. Sheer perfection !
makes you wonder if Angelina is just what the world needs i sure hope all the world discovers this treasure and can enjoy her :))))) she is just the Angel
This is when Angelina was leaving her home town Oslo so she was saying good bye to Norway 🇳🇴 to go to The USA 🇺🇸 it must have been really hard for her leaving all her friends behind but she had to do it for her carrier to take of and it’s definitely working Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🥰👍👏👏👏💕👋
The bittersweetness in Angelina’s performance is even more so when you realize that Angelina sung this just prior to leaving Oslo Norway for an extended trip to the Americas. This was sung from a rooftop in Oslo - you can see the Oslo cathedral (Oslo domkirke) in the background. Nice reaction Harri. 👍
I been searching for this song for 40 years! I failed because I thought the title was From major to minor. Thank you Harri! The singing woman child is a unique being. Almost another Billy Holliday.
One of the most incredible covers Angelina has done IMO. I mean, the mood bending, serenity, calming presence of a little minor, soon to be a major..... recording artist. Greatness rarely ever witnessed. NO ONE COMPARES NO ONE.
Mar 19, 2021 · A musical prodigy, Angelina Jordan sang for the first time at barely a year old, and she never stopped.The Los Angeles-based 14-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion TH-cam views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world …
Great reaction. The gift and the magic of Angelina is that when she sings a cover of a song, it doesn't sound like a cover of someone else's song. It sounds like the song was written for her specifically and she sings it like an original.
I have listened to around a dozen singers perform this song including Ella. It's a beautiful song and with only an acoustic guitar at 10 years old this is my favorite version. The little nuances she brings to this adds even more to the song. Notice the part "an air of spring about it", how she carries the word spring a little nasally with a slur for example. I have only heard this on Angelina's version. For another one that will surprise you and is a fan favorite is I'M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU at 10 years old. I keep using her age, but for me age is important because it is absolutely mind blowing what she does. So few other "child singers" have ever been able to do what she can do.
I love your reactions to Angelina. You are so respectful and a genuine fan. Mention her age as much as you want! I agree it makes the impact even more spectacular.
one thing quite interesting and remarkable with Angelina Jordan is her audience - its a cross section of all ages! Her audience consists of all age groups of society, her sound and music appeals to all!
Even if she reminds you of a singer from the fifties, like Ella, it is still very special that Angelina sings it just with a simple guitar, whereas we know these songs so well with very beautiful and rich orchestra accompinaments! It's as if Angelina has a hidden built in orchestra in her voice! Thanks for the reaction Harry! (i?)
Angelina She getting ready to leave her home 😊 Norway are you going to extensive her in America I can sense a little sadness in her voice or melancholy but she has a beautiful voice distinct dementia her voice you know it’s her she’s been blessed the new voice makes her great singer and unique things that can’t be copied in her voice she’s my favorite singer of all time regardless of her age
Thank you, Harri, for another excellent reaction to Angelina. For me, this is by far the "smoothest" jazz song she has performed to date. I have no issue with Reactors commenting upon Angelina's age when she is singing the song to which they are reacting, as long as they are comparing her performance with ALL other singers, regardless of age. What I do object to is the implication that their judgement is based solely on her age, for example phrases such us "she is good for her age" suggesting that compared with other young persons of the same age she is good but compared with an older professional singer she isn't. In my opinion, at the age of 10 Angelina had shed all childishness in her voice and earned the right to "stand tall" with all other professionalsingers.
I've always said that there is more at work here than meets the eye. I think she is very near enlightenment. That is the only thing that explains everything. thank you for your reaction. You have entertained me from day 1.
I totally agree with you, friend. I think it's time they stopped comparing her with anyone, AJ's voice resembles several artists and none of them, she is unique.
The most beautiful video done to date. The sun shining on her stunning face on a roof top overlooking Oslo with just her and a guitar saying goodbye to Norway as she heads off to California to start her career is beyond words...you can feel her love for her people.
You're right her you can't really ignore the age verses the singing. But if you closed your eyes and didn't know her at all you wouldn't guess her age. I'll always be a fan of hers
Harri thanks for another great reaction to a masterpiece performance by the Barefoot Angel. Thanks to people of Norway for sending Norway's National Treasure to be a guest in the City of the Angeles (Los Angeles). LA welcomes Angelina an unmatchable music prodigy and a humanitarian with elegance, grace, and humbleness.
Bravo Harri for your heartful reaction. She is a wonderful artist out of her age. Her interpretation is amazing. The more you hear it, the more you mentioned the wonderful details of her interpretation and the more you like it. There is no wear affect, she sings to your heart and sends happiness
You are so hooked Harri. It takes one to know one lol. Just hit play and let us watch what she does to you. 🤣 You know she adores Ella. She's not going to mess that up. What a treasure. ✌️💖
Thanks for the reaction ,you always accurate with Angelina's performance.Her musical talent obviously is one of kind. And thanks for not comparing her with any other artists.Because Angelina and only Angelina can beat Angelina.
I listen to lots of yours Harri, but must have missed this one. I was just doing the washing up with headphones on listening to another video and then this one pops up. I've watched this performance many times, but just listening to it, with your comments too, was just epic! Can't wait to hear the new songs and album she is working on, and your future reactions to it!
Great reaction Harri - you missed the interview and introduction before this song. This was recorded in the summer of 2016, before a long trip to the USA, you can think of it as her farewell to Oslo before the trip. In the USA trip she recorded Fly me to the moon at the salt lake in the desert, along with I will survive and later, in New York, a studio version of Fly me to the Moon for a LinkedIn advert. This young lady was always keeping busy, followed by two songs in London, What a difference a Day Makes on Little Big Stars with Dawn French and Autumn Leaves with a video made in St James' park, on returning to Norway she did the Feeling Good performance on the TV show, it goes on and on - this lady is just relentless!
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but Angelina is like a fine wine or chocolate - "This is a robust Angelina with hints of Billie and overtones of Ella and Amy"
Amazing reaction Harri!! I agree. No matter what song Angie covers, she just sounds like Angie. She has a very distinct, one of a kind voice that is unmistakable no matter what she is singing. I call her the 'Soul Toucher' as she touches the soul of everyone who hears her sing. Thanks Harri!!!
The song she singing she saying goodbye to Norway. She asked her parents to take her to America so she can work on her work on her song there she thinks you have a better chance of doing better in America, so they went to check it out an American her parents did you came back to pack your bags baby we’re going to America and that’s what they did so she live in Norway which she loves to go to America to try to advance her career and her parents are all in your bag we’re going to America
Yes, you can say that about any of Angelina’s covers: respect for the original that comes through beautifully, but it’s 100% Angelina. Her voice and her embellishments are immediately identifiable to Angelina fans. I agree that this version is just beautiful, and yes, we can evaluate 11 year old Angelina’s version against Ella Fitzgerald’s. Angelina has an amazing talent to sing difficult songs like this one so calmly and maturely. Just wow.
Always a pleasure to listen to your reactions Harri... I think now you should try: "Angelina Jordan: It's a Mans World Enhanced Version" @ th-cam.com/video/tGXnodBLyUg/w-d-xo.html or "Angelina Jordan - Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers) - Sound remastered" @ th-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/w-d-xo.html ... both great performances... Thanx a lot!!
This song is by the great Cole Porter He wrote too many classics for Fred Astaire Frank Sinatra Bing Crosby Ella Fitzgerald to even list here. High Sociéty is the wittiest musical movie ever. Well did you Evah is one song from it
Allow me to be pedantic for a moment: there won't ever be a 22-year-old president of the U.S., unless a constitutional amendment is ratified to allow presidents to be younger than 35 (which is never going to happen). Even if you consider the line of succession (which goes through, e.g., Speaker of the House and cabinet secretaries), anyone who becomes president that way has to meet the same age requirement. OK, I feel better now. [wink]
I found the setting on a rooftop in the open with the framework of a gantry totally 'cold' setting for a 'soulful' ballad and this in itself lost the ambiance of the song's intimacy. While there is no doubt she has a good voice there seems to be a lack of emotion and sincerity and sounded like a little girl with a unique voice singing a song. Perhaps the location was the wrong choice. Not her best performance and no way should be considered in the same class as Ella and Simply Red. We don't present our voice to the audience we resonate our souls and this comes with the experience of life. A great future for this young girl no doubt.
Hi,thanks for your reaction,cannot not agree with your critique,this was just wonderful,no one can do this song finer,from major to minor Angelina is on top from the first note ,cheers from Australia.
A rendition of this song that would be appreciated equally in Heaven as it is on Earth ...
Cole Porter gave the world some all-time great music. Angelina can sing them all !!!
Your right Harri thank you for your reaction .👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️
I love this! One of my top ones ..

YESSS, deffinitly!!!!
Just astounding, agreed.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. As usual, a vocal master piece.

saying, 'less can be more', for Angelina's version just permeates the human soul. Sheer perfection !
Yeah Angelina's ability to hear the soul of a song and interpret that beautifully is one of her many gifts on a par with that peerless voice.
makes you wonder if Angelina is just what the world needs i sure hope all the world discovers this treasure and can enjoy her :))))) she is just the Angel

It gives me the chills every time to think that this was live!
One of the most incredible covers Angelina has done IMO. I mean, the mood bending, serenity, calming presence of a little minor, soon to be a major..... recording artist. Greatness rarely ever witnessed. NO ONE COMPARES NO ONE.
She has such an angelic voice...Cole Porter would be honored and proud of her!
So would Ella..
Just a blessing and pure Angel.

I’m with you Harri the age is important, especially one so young.

So few other singers of any age.
This was the summer of 2016 (Angelina was born in 2006) so she was 10 years old. On live national TV in Norway.
Great reaction to the Super Girl 8th wonder of the World and God Bless!
@HB: "You think she's singing just for you." Great observation! You always feel good when you listen to Angelina sing.
I love your reactions to Angelina. You are so respectful and a genuine fan. Mention her age as much as you want! I agree it makes the impact even more spectacular.

Loved your comments and reaction Harri. One of my favorite, beautiful renditions of a wonderful song done Angelina style.

Everything about this performance is heavenly, and kudos to the accompanist, standing ovation for him too.
nobody has ever had such a unique sound at such an early age...excellent point
The most beautiful video done to date. The sun shining on her stunning face on a roof top overlooking Oslo with just her and a guitar saying goodbye to Norway as she heads off to California to start her career is beyond words...you can feel her love for her people.
Your reaction was spot on👌THANKS.
Harri, congrats on 50k subs. Always enjoy your reactions to our barefoot princess.
You're right her you can't really ignore the age verses the singing. But if you closed your eyes and didn't know her at all you wouldn't guess her age. I'll always be a fan of hers
Harri thanks for another great reaction to a masterpiece performance by the Barefoot Angel.
Thanks to people of Norway for sending Norway's National Treasure to be a guest in the City of the Angeles (Los Angeles).
LA welcomes Angelina an unmatchable music prodigy and a humanitarian with elegance, grace, and humbleness.
Agree with you ,she has her own voice and her own unique sounds which is beautiful and when she sings a song its hers . Great reaction , thanks

There is a wonderful mashup of Angelina and Ella Fitzgerald singing this.
Harry: my favorite part is the major to minor…so beautiful
I listen to lots of yours Harri, but must have missed this one. I was just doing the washing up with headphones on listening to another video and then this one pops up.

Thanks again, Harri - and yep, she is somewhere close to 11 years old... what else is there to say?
Such a great reaction Harry.... Thank you
❤️❤️❤️
Right on Harry. I recognize her even when she emulates another. Never imitation.
As pointed out below, she's only 10 years old here.
Yes, you can say that about any of Angelina’s covers: respect for the original that comes through beautifully, but it’s 100% Angelina.
