All I can is if I was a contestant and I was listening to that performance. I would of just called a cab or text my Mom and Dad in the audience to come get me without hesitation....time to go home lol. She is the soul that the greats before her came from....Wow.
Angelina is a Devine Gift from God. God Created Her for His Heavenly Choir yet knew We Needed Her to Soothe Our Hearts From all the Hatred & Chaos that We are Enduring. Love How She Pays Homage to Those of Yesteryear Today and Those To Come. ❤️ Thank You for this Reaction as it is One of My Favorites. You need to Check out It's A Man's World and Diamonds are Forever. oh and I'm Holding Out For You. all Breathtakingly Beautiful ❤️
As Angelina was just starting to walk away, the girl behind her put her hands to her mouth as if to say.....oh crap !!! Another great reaction sir! Go Angelina !!!!!
Wow! Thank you for pointing that out. I've watched this video hundreds of times - it is my favourite of her NGT performances - but have been so concentrating on Angelina that I never noticed that gesture from the other competitor before.
@@alberttenfoot I commented about it because he said there was no response from the other contestants ! I saw this in 2015 and thought the same thing then ! Have a good day and go Angelina !!!!
She is truly special and one of a kind, because a ' child ' is not suppose to be able to make an adult a bit teary eyed whenever she sings..Great reaction my friend. Cheers..
For those who have followed Angelina from the time of Norway's Got Talent, it is like watching a beautiful flower bloom in slow motion. From seven years old to her present age, it is just miraculous. For many, it is like a proud parent or grandparent (like her dear grandma Mery) seeing her genius flow like a river nourishing the verdant garden of music. No greater joy than the appreciation of a true artist. Enjoy!
Love those words you put together. I never wanted kids until Angilina entered my life. About a year after NGT. And yes, I love Angilina as much as I could love my own daughter. I even get tears when new comers see her for the first time, and they get Angelified. Oh, I keep forgetting my age. I guess at 62 she is like my grand-daughter. Ha! Take it easy Angel, from another Angel. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
@@rickyrheuark7989 Ricky: Keep that positive appreciation of Angelina and her world of soulful music unfolding for us all. (From old grampa Steve at 74; living to follow an Angel to the end)
Such an enlightening reaction to something so wonderful and heaven sent to bring light and belief into our lives. Summertime and Bang Bang will NOT disappointment!
First: Totally get you, Jeff😉👍🏼😅. Then: Thank you so much for a wonderful and beautiful reaction to her here …. just so special and prescious she was and is💝💖💜🙏🏼🥰🤗.
Just a thought I wonder if the contestants behind Angelina after this performance were thinking ok I give up I’m going home , amazing Acapulco from a beautiful soulful pitch perfect voice,and I’ve been attending Angelina’s live concerts in Norway 🇳🇴 this previous week, her stage presence is amazing, and live performances wonderful, thanks 🙏 great reaction!
LOVE your reaction and spot on analysis. You can bet I’ll be checking out your reaction to the next two (and beyond😉)! The fourth of the four NGT performances is my favorite, BTW. ❤️👣
AJ’s timid ‘thank you’ whisper after that confident performance just blows my mind every time. One of those moments getting to see her mentally in two distinctly different worlds.
This was my first contact with Angelina. My first look at her and I knew she was marching to her own drum. Then she opened her mouth and I heard the voice that came straight from God. I have a quirk in my brain where you, and other 'normal' people would get goosebumps or the chills, my default response is to cry. She wasn't three notes into this remarkable vocal and I was drowning in tears. While the response to something extraordinary was 'normal' for me the amount of tears and the depth of the response I had only experienced one other time and that was just three nights before when I first heard Daneliya Tuleshova. I just recently had the same response to hearing 11 year old Georgia Balke from Germany. We're talking about Angelina here though. Seeing the interview from the first performance where she said, she was going to be a Superstar like Whitney Huston, this has been the journey she has been on straight line towards that goal ever since. Nothing she has done so far has interrupted that pursuit, and I don't see anything getting in the way.
This is what I love about music mate, is that I can hear something I’ve never heard before and have an obviously emotional, internal reaction to it that feels like the same kind of thing when I experience… relief, like after a tough time, and when you’ve been through it… relief! Music does that for me, that’s part of why I’m over here on your channel - you’re introducing me to all kinds of stuff I otherwise probably wouldn’t hear or discover. Thank you! 🙏🏻🥺
I've watched this many many times and I still always get a lump in my throat. Even her heart felt movements just add to ths unbelievable little performance . So glad you're doing these!
Thank you for another great reaction video. Angelina Jordan included a refined hypnotizing version of this song on her album “It’s Magic” that was released in 2018 when she was 12 years old. That album was on the iTunes Top Jazz Album Chart for many weeks and peeked at #2. Today 4 years later, the album is #23 on the chart. Not too bad for a 12 years old!!!!
@@js33412In my comment I was referring to her age when the song was released. I've seen many comments that it was recorded when she was 11 but no definite proof. She performed the song several times after NGT but the studio recording session that was on her album was released on June 15 2018. A video of a recording session was posted on her grandmother's channel more than a year later on September 10 2019. That studio version did not match exactly to the version on her album which was a combination of few takes. Angelina and The Staff Band of The Norwegian Armed Forces started working on her album in late 2017 however most songs were not completed and recorded in their final versions until couple of months before the album was released. Regardless if she was 11 or 12 we know how immensely talented was Angelina and still is.
Nothing can stop her. She showed a rehearsal on her grandma Mozarz channel with chicken pox between the two Performances. You could see the Shadows under her eyes, but she's a Norwegian Trooper 👍🙏💕
Love your expert reaction. Well done. Angelina is so fascinating she is baffling. Her exquisite taste in what sounds good combined with her many liquid like tone skills makes her irresistible and adorable. All of which such a blast to be experiencing.
It’s absolutely beautiful. The phrasing, the vocal slides, the unbelievable vibrato… She delivers the message in the lyrics even way back then. a cappella(!)
Thanks! I am really enjoying your journey of discovery of the barefoot princess. As David said, her studio recording of this song four years later, video shot by her Grandma Mery, is an absolute jaw-dropper. It is a great example of the progression of her skill set. th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html Excellent TH-cam video and audio sync courtesy of superfan Rusty.
Every time I hear this recording from Angelina I’m amazed at her ability to sing a capella without making a single off key note, with her vibrato and pauses exactly where they should be. She’s unique!
Billie Holiday obviously has been a huge inspiration to Angelina. She once said something like without Billie Holiday there would be no Angelina Jordan. Next up is her NGT performance of Bang, Bang, and then for the finale, Summertime. Both are astonishing IMHO.
So great to watch you travel the NGT road! In Accapella and so incredibly in tune and the VIBRATO that she was born with, this small piece is just a mini masterpiece in so many ways, and you recognize this. Great reaction, can't wait for the rest!
She's so cute, yet her singing is so heartfelt. I keep thinking about the morale of the other contestants, who were probably so excited to get this chance to show their talents, when they realize they're trapped in a cage with a lioness. Nice reaction.
NGT had too many performers after the first audition so they lined everyone up and had them perform w/o accompaniment. AJ left the girl in red behind her in tears. There is a mashup with the original and they are dead locked synched; timing, tone, dialect, everything. Good observations.
Kaleidoscope RMX made a mashup, by putting this on Billie Holiday's backtrack. It fits so perfectly, it's nearly frightening. Here Angelina introduced Angelina Jordan, showing, who she is, already present at the age of 7/8. Love&respect forever...
Angelina is known to be a fan of Billie Holiday, she said it before and also said it at the last concert in Norway that Billie Holiday is her inspiration!!! 👑 🗣🎙🎷
Thanks for continuing on with Angelina's NGT performances - this time her a cappella rendition of another Billie Holliday classic. Another great reaction. Even at such a young age, I'm amazed with her timing (not rushing through anything) & enunciation (English is not her 1st language). But most importantly - she once again emotes the essence of the song she's singing direct to our hearts & souls allowing us to also deeply FEEL her music. Looking forward to your upcoming reactions to her last 2 NGT performances - Bang Bang & Summertime. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
PS Thank you very, very much for playing and reacting to the complete version of this performance by Angelina. I believe a person should always use the fullest versions available when giving their opinions. To any other reactors who are seeing this man's show? Take some notes, slow down, and when you are thinking to hurry to what you have to do next? Stop yourself and then consider? Why am i in such a hurry? We lose so much oc each experience when we skip parts and lose as well much of the significance that it carries. Are we here to hurry up to finish? Just a suggestion for anyone who may listen. Thank you again for your reaction...
I don’t think there is any doubt that Angelina has the rare ability to channel music through her mind and body. That is evidenced in her behavior before performing, while performing and after she finishes performing. As you said, Angelina has the uncanny ability to lock into hearing the song in her mind as she is performing it. There are seasoned adult singers that don’t have Angelina’s vibrato. Some have never developed that ability. If you look on the faces of the other competitors as Angelina is performing it’s evident that they know that they’re competing for second place.
At this point in the competition (halfway through, right after the performance you just watched landed her a spot in the [live] semifinals), TV 2 aired a little profile of her on the show _Lørdagsmagasinet_ [Saturday Magazine]: th-cam.com/video/4EPqVvliE7I/w-d-xo.html (turn on English captions) In it, she shows some of her art and then talks (along with her mother) about how people have reacted to her singing voice, a little about where her love of music came from, and why she performs barefoot. Her mother also talks about how the family is dealing with her newfound fame. It also includes a trip to the local jazz music shop, where Angelina plays a little piano (no one seems to know what song she's playing, though), and two short clips from her family's "home movies": one from a recording session for "I, Who Have Nothing" (Ben E. King song, sung by many other greats, including Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones), and the other from the very first recording of her singing, when she was 1½ (this is the real coup de grace). I'm sure you've read about her "singing at 1½" a lot in the comments on your previous AJ reactions. Now you can witness it for yourself (assuming you haven't already). You really should react to the whole thing. Not many people have.
Yes, she keep the pitch without straying, that goes for the cadence too which is maybe even more unusual for her age. But, so is the choice of song and the low key (original?)
Hi you need to see her when she did her first studio test at 6 years old the song called I who have nothing omg your going to love please I would love to see your reaction to this 👍🏽
When AJ is only accompanied by one instrument and you can even hear her take breaths, you become aware how GREAT she is. The control, the emotion, the interpretation, like no other I have ever experienced. The only instrument I want to hear is Angelina's voice.
These first two NGT songs are Angelina’s first appearance on a major public stage. Her ability to sing is unquestionable, and in these first two songs, she chose to channel her musical muse, Billie Holiday. But the next two (Bang, Bang, Summertime), Angelina is channeling nobody. We get a preview of how older Angelina takes a classic song we love and gives us a new way to love it. The first two NGT songs make you almost cry, and you wonder if this can be real. The next two songs show you it’s very real, and she will knock your socks off.
Beautifully sung in acapella ! Angelina's amazing sense of timing and intervals during this iconic and most difficult song is unbelievable ! Fearless, sincere and passionate about her singing at 7 years old is so wonderful to witness ! Her English pronunciation was so good and English not her native language ?? Can't wait for your reaction to" Bang Bang" and "Summertime" ! Make sure you are sitting down because it's absolutely mind blowing ! Thank you so much for continuing your Angelina journey as we have all witnessed and enjoy this tremendously talented young singer as she vaults into stardom ! We love our barefoot princess passionately and know that your channel is so much appreciated ! Keep posting my friend ! 🙂👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thsnk you for supporting Angelina, your comments are always very insightful and accurate. You have a master's ability for seeing people for exactly who and what they are.
Thank you Leslie, I really appreciate your comments. Would you like to pick the next Angelina Jordan video for me to react to? You can take a look at my Angelina Jordan playlist and see what I've already reacted to already. I look forward to seeing what you pick. 😊
I think one has to be doing music of some kind to fully apprechiate this one.... It's very special, unique, and is a "this tells it all" vid, imo. Looking forward to seeing your reaction on the rest of the NGT vids💕💕💕 Btw couldn't find the one of Gloomy sunday 🤔.... (maybe it's the one blocked in here..) Greetings from Arctic Norway 👋👋
Angelina was interviewed n said her school n mother thought she should b singing songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star 🌟 Children's songs Angelina's grandmother who lives with them listened to old school.jazz n Angelina fell in love with it at 2/ 3 yrs old . Singing for her grandmother:) Angelina is a very old soul indeed!
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen or heard! I've watched it a lot and it's just as good ever time.! Have to wipe my eyes every time.! I think everyone behind her knew they were going for 2nd place after that.
Great reaction, finding Angelina will be a great journey. Her next 2 performances will knock your socks off again, her passion for music seems to have no limits in exploring all the possibilities of sound She later did a studio version for her It's Magic album, the raw recoding th-cam.com/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/w-d-xo.html and the final album mix, dubbed by a fan th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html Enjoy, thanks for the great reaction
You MUST listen to the studio version of this song when she is a little older. It's a masterpiece! the mic quality is stunning. She is wearing some leaves and flowers in her hair as a reference to the right video.
This NGT accapella audition was required and a sort of elimination round, The judges really got everything you say. The sound on this track is the best I've heard. Yes, so cool. 💛💜
This is such an incredible performance even though it may not be obvious at first glance. She sings this intricate melody a capella and keeps on pitch and on tempo. It is so easy to slide with pitch and tempo when you sing a capella for such a long stretch. There is a mash up somewhere with Billie Holiday singing it and it is just mind blowing. She must have a pitch fork and a metronome inside her head. Like you say it, she has that track in her mind running and is locked into it. The other contestants were flabbergasted as only can be expected :-) She is not only an amazing artist, she is also a great person. I don’t know if anyone told you about her singing barefoot? She gave away her shoes to a poor kid in the streets in the Middle-east. Since she has been performing barefoot to raise awareness for poor kids, has done a lot of charity performances and such. She just shines in every way possible :-)
Eva Cassidy is another lady you need to hear, if I didn’t know better I’d say she taught Angelina everything she knows! Eva’s version of Over the rainbow the black and white video was voted best song of all time several years ago. Too computer illiterate to send a link but she’s on you tube, easy to find, be a great reaction video!!!
I am always blown away by miss Angelina ... I am curious to know if she has perfect pitch... for her to stay t dead on throughout this performance with all those crazy inflections she was doing, seems almost impossible to me.. never mind the fact that she is 7 years old .. it would be hard for any singer to maintain pitch singing this a Capella ... She is just on a whole other level with her skill set... she is already arranging songs, singing them in a second language, using vocal effects and all of that before the age of 10 ... Also you know that all of this can not have been taught.. she is 7.. how many years can she have possibly been taking lessons.. She just has a gift and works extremely hard on it.. I am sure she has already put countless hours of practice to perfect her craft. She has big ears !!!! really big ears!!! Scary to think where she will be in 20 years.... this kid is mind blowing!
yes...you should watch a video where you can see the reaction of the judges.....two of them just look at each other and without saying a word they speak volumes.....I think they already knew who was going to win.
Geez, getting haunted by an alive 7 year old is not something one would expect to happen. Imagine any human doing that a Capella. Way too impressive, as was her 11 yr old version, less haunting and more beautiful though. A thousand times more beautiful than the original even. This feels like it would be performance 1, before the actual show starts, the audition audition. Was it? Or did they make everyone go rapid fire for the first eliminations after she got through?
And you, got me interested in You. I just subscribed ! The amazement shows on your face and with very insightful comments. Thank you so much. I await further reactions. 🌺
If I had been a contestant on that day, I'd be calling my mom and saying, "Hey, Mom, come and get me! It's all over, I have no chance. By the way, can you give everybody else a ride home too!"
You're right, she stayed in key all the way through. Someone once proved it in this beautiful mix: th-cam.com/video/6GJkqpODGuI/w-d-xo.html The person who did this mix overlayed Angelina's vocals with the instrumental from Billie Holiday's track; so it must be true, she was actually "hearing" the track in her head while singing.
Also, it's amazing the way she never speeds up the tempo. Ray Charles said he had musicians in the studio that were excellent on up tempo numbers but who got totally lost when he did very slow tempos. I know if I tried to tap out the tempo to this song there are places where I know I would lose the tempo. And the usual mistake is to start speeding up. But she not only doesn't speed up the tempo she makes the tempo seem to disappear and just drifts through the song like it's a dream. How does a child that young perfectly channel an artist like Billy Holiday whose life was torn by drugs and discrimination. It doesn't seem possible and it's not like she's mimicking Holiday it's like she's channeling the pain. And acapella no less where there is nothing to guide you to the tempo. This performance is like watching a tight rope walker working without a net.
Don't know if I'm admired or scared... astonished for sure. Hope for her a beautiful future as singer...
All I can is if I was a contestant and I was listening to that performance. I would of just called a cab or text my Mom and Dad in the audience to come get me without hesitation....time to go home lol. She is the soul that the greats before her came from....Wow.
Wow indeed. You have a fantastic journey ahead!
Very well put great reaction thanks
Welcome to the army of Angelina enjoy your ride in the rabbit hole :)
I'm sure the faces of other contestants behind her is like saying..."that was so beautiful and we're all doomed.."
😂🤣😂 you actually made me laugh out loud! 😄😄😄
Who would ever thought, a 7 years old describing your tragic love with such a voice. AJ is a God's gift.
That is extraordinary!
Yes, after the other 2 NGT songs you must see the studio version, Age 11,you will be blown away.

Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this sweet little norwegian genius (now 16 y old) is now imo the best singer on this planet! 🤩
And here we can clearly see and hear how a whole country were both amazed and fell in love with this tiny girl and her huge talent. 😊

To your point...a couple of fans have put a backtrack to this performance. It is stunning how close she comes to being perfectly on time.
This song was recorded in a studio when Angelina was a teenager and it is the most beautiful version I have ever heard.

Take some notes, slow down, and when you are thinking to hurry to what you have to do next? Stop yourself and then consider? Why am i in such a hurry? We lose so much oc each experience when we skip parts and lose as well much of the significance that it carries. Are we here to hurry up to finish? Just a suggestion for anyone who may listen. Thank you again for your reaction...

I don’t think there is any doubt that Angelina has the rare ability to channel music through her mind and body. That is evidenced in her behavior before performing, while performing and after she finishes performing. As you said, Angelina has the uncanny ability to lock into hearing the song in her mind as she is performing it. There are seasoned adult singers that don’t have Angelina’s vibrato. Some have never developed that ability.
If you look on the faces of the other competitors as Angelina is performing it’s evident that they know that they’re competing for second place.
At this point in the competition (halfway through, right after the performance you just watched landed her a spot in the [live] semifinals), TV 2 aired a little profile of her on the show _Lørdagsmagasinet_ [Saturday Magazine]: th-cam.com/video/4EPqVvliE7I/w-d-xo.html (turn on English captions)
In it, she shows some of her art and then talks (along with her mother) about how people have reacted to her singing voice, a little about where her love of music came from, and why she performs barefoot. Her mother also talks about how the family is dealing with her newfound fame. It also includes a trip to the local jazz music shop, where Angelina plays a little piano (no one seems to know what song she's playing, though), and two short clips from her family's "home movies": one from a recording session for "I, Who Have Nothing" (Ben E. King song, sung by many other greats, including Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones), and the other from the very first recording of her singing, when she was 1½ (this is the real coup de grace).
I'm sure you've read about her "singing at 1½" a lot in the comments on your previous AJ reactions. Now you can witness it for yourself (assuming you haven't already).
You really should react to the whole thing. Not many people have.
Great reaction. 👍
Yes, she keep the pitch without straying, that goes for the cadence too which is maybe even more unusual for her age. But, so is the choice of song and the low key (original?)
Hi you need to see her when she did her first studio test at 6 years old the song called I who have nothing omg your going to love please I would love to see your reaction to this 👍🏽
When AJ is only accompanied by one instrument and you can even hear her take breaths, you become aware how GREAT she is. The control, the emotion, the interpretation, like no other I have ever experienced. The only instrument I want to hear is Angelina's voice.
These first two NGT songs are Angelina’s first appearance on a major public stage. Her ability to sing is unquestionable, and in these first two songs, she chose to channel her musical muse, Billie Holiday. But the next two (Bang, Bang, Summertime), Angelina is channeling nobody. We get a preview of how older Angelina takes a classic song we love and gives us a new way to love it. The first two NGT songs make you almost cry, and you wonder if this can be real. The next two songs show you it’s very real, and she will knock your socks off.
This was the judges cut round , the requirement was to sing accepella , amazing isn't it ?
tom Sing a cappella or perform with an instrument.
@@103mrg that's correct. :-)
Beautiful ❤
Beautifully sung in acapella ! Angelina's amazing sense of timing and intervals during this iconic and most difficult song is unbelievable ! Fearless, sincere and passionate about her singing at 7 years old is so wonderful to witness ! Her English pronunciation was so good and English not her native language ?? Can't wait for your reaction to" Bang Bang" and "Summertime" ! Make sure you are sitting down because it's absolutely mind blowing ! Thank you so much for continuing your Angelina journey as we have all witnessed and enjoy this tremendously talented young singer as she vaults into stardom ! We love our barefoot princess passionately and know that your channel is so much appreciated ! Keep posting my friend ! 🙂👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thsnk you for supporting Angelina, your comments are always very insightful and accurate. You have a master's ability for seeing people for exactly who and what they are.
Thank you Leslie, I really appreciate your comments. Would you like to pick the next Angelina Jordan video for me to react to? You can take a look at my Angelina Jordan playlist and see what I've already reacted to already. I look forward to seeing what you pick. 😊
I think one has to be doing music of some kind to fully apprechiate this one.... It's very special, unique, and is a "this tells it all" vid, imo.
Looking forward to seeing your reaction on the rest of the NGT vids💕💕💕
Btw couldn't find the one of Gloomy sunday 🤔.... (maybe it's the one blocked in here..)
Greetings from Arctic Norway 👋👋
Please react to Angelina's very first time in a studio at the age of 6 singing I Who Have nothing.
Angelina was interviewed n said her school n mother thought she should b singing songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star 🌟 Children's songs
Angelina's grandmother who lives with them listened to old school.jazz n Angelina fell in love with it at 2/ 3 yrs old .
Singing for her grandmother:)
Angelina is a very old soul indeed!
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen or heard! I've watched it a lot and it's just as good ever time.! Have to wipe my eyes every time.! I think everyone behind her knew they were going for 2nd place after that.
She stole a lot of hearts that day (and the days that followed)🥰
Your smile, from memories even before Angelina begins to sing, is infectious.
Seems like Angelina shows about a year’s growth in vocal ability between each NGT performance.
Definitely. 🙂
Great reaction, finding Angelina will be a great journey. Her next 2 performances will knock your socks off again, her passion for music seems to have no limits in exploring all the possibilities of sound
She later did a studio version for her It's Magic album, the raw recoding

Enjoy, thanks for the great reaction
You MUST listen to the studio version of this song when she is a little older. It's a masterpiece! the mic quality is stunning. She is wearing some leaves and flowers in her hair as a reference to the right video.
This NGT accapella audition was required and a sort of elimination round, The judges really got everything you say. The sound on this track is the best I've heard. Yes, so cool. 💛💜
This is such an incredible performance even though it may not be obvious at first glance. She sings this intricate melody a capella and keeps on pitch and on tempo. It is so easy to slide with pitch and tempo when you sing a capella for such a long stretch. There is a mash up somewhere with Billie Holiday singing it and it is just mind blowing. She must have a pitch fork and a metronome inside her head. Like you say it, she has that track in her mind running and is locked into it. The other contestants were flabbergasted as only can be expected :-)
She is not only an amazing artist, she is also a great person. I don’t know if anyone told you about her singing barefoot? She gave away her shoes to a poor kid in the streets in the Middle-east. Since she has been performing barefoot to raise awareness for poor kids, has done a lot of charity performances and such. She just shines in every way possible :-)

It was breathtaking... I feel sorry for all the others behind her, probably think in we might as well go home...... cheers
Hahaha
Eva Cassidy is another lady you need to hear, if I didn’t know better I’d say she taught Angelina everything she knows! Eva’s version of Over the rainbow the black and white video was voted best song of all time several years ago. Too computer illiterate to send a link but she’s on you tube, easy to find, be a great reaction video!!!
I am always blown away by miss Angelina ... I am curious to know if she has perfect pitch... for her to stay t dead on throughout this performance with all those crazy inflections she was doing, seems almost impossible to me.. never mind the fact that she is 7 years old .. it would be hard for any singer to maintain pitch singing this a Capella ... She is just on a whole other level with her skill set... she is already arranging songs, singing them in a second language, using vocal effects and all of that before the age of 10 ... Also you know that all of this can not have been taught.. she is 7.. how many years can she have possibly been taking lessons.. She just has a gift and works extremely hard on it.. I am sure she has already put countless hours of practice to perfect her craft. She has big ears !!!! really big ears!!! Scary to think where she will be in 20 years.... this kid is mind blowing!
yes...you should watch a video where you can see the reaction of the judges.....two of them just look at each other and without saying a word they speak volumes.....I think they already knew who was going to win.
Yes, she kept both tempo and key...she already quite an understanding of what she is attempting to do. She must really have a super sensitive ear.
Geez, getting haunted by an alive 7 year old is not something one would expect to happen. Imagine any human doing that a Capella. Way too impressive, as was her 11 yr old version, less haunting and more beautiful though. A thousand times more beautiful than the original even. This feels like it would be performance 1, before the actual show starts, the audition audition. Was it? Or did they make everyone go rapid fire for the first eliminations after she got through?
And you, got me interested in You. I just subscribed ! The amazement shows on your face and with very insightful comments. Thank you so much. I await further reactions. 🌺
Thank you John! 😃😊😊😊🎉🫶
If I had been a contestant on that day, I'd be calling my mom and saying, "Hey, Mom, come and get me! It's all over, I have no chance. By the way, can you give everybody else a ride home too!"
Omg 😂🤣😂🤣😂
There's a fuLL Version of This 4 U to Watch aLL the Contestants as they Sing & Watch their Reactions ad They Watch Each Other Percorm👍
ya gotta play (bang )as a youngster!
This vid won my sub. Watched a few of yours and finally you convinced me. " track running in her brain" that did it
👏👏👏👏👏👏🫶
The other contestants be like... 🏃🏾♂️🏃🏻 🏃🏼 🏃🏻♀️💨
😂🤣😂
ATTENTION‼️ Please react to Angelina singing this song in the studio at age 10 or 12. Spectacular🌀
You're right, she stayed in key all the way through. Someone once proved it in this beautiful mix: th-cam.com/video/6GJkqpODGuI/w-d-xo.html
The person who did this mix overlayed Angelina's vocals with the instrumental from Billie Holiday's track; so it must be true, she was actually "hearing" the track in her head while singing.
It totally sounded like that to me. Her pitch and tempo were perfect! 👏👏👏
This longer recording may give you a couple 2-5 second glimpses of the other contestants as Angelina sings: th-cam.com/video/y3oYloFYRzI/w-d-xo.html
Also, it's amazing the way she never speeds up the tempo. Ray Charles said he had musicians in the studio that were excellent on up tempo numbers but who got totally lost when he did very slow tempos. I know if I tried to tap out the tempo to this song there are places where I know I would lose the tempo. And the usual mistake is to start speeding up. But she not only doesn't speed up the tempo she makes the tempo seem to disappear and just drifts through the song like it's a dream. How does a child that young perfectly channel an artist like Billy Holiday whose life was torn by drugs and discrimination. It doesn't seem possible and it's not like she's mimicking Holiday it's like she's channeling the pain. And acapella no less where there is nothing to guide you to the tempo. This performance is like watching a tight rope walker working without a net.
