This is THE most accomplished performance by an 8yo EVER. She absolutely smashed it. Her timing is impeccable. Everything about it is perfect. A lot of fully grown professional singers would struggle to better this performance. I tear up every time I listen to it.
This is one of my absolute favourites by Angelina: when her voice comes in ... instant goosebumps every single time ! :) And her incredible calm and poise singing there in the middle of a large crowd... amazing
Imagine standing in the middle of an enormous crowd with backup singers and a full band you can only hear through earbuds and performing at this level at 8 years old. Her composure and confidence are from another world. This is the performance that David Foster called the most remarkable he had even seen from a child.
What a Difference a Day Makes, a 1934 Mexican song popularized by Dinah Washington in 1959 and resurrected by Angelina Jordan! To me it masterfully sung by Angelina at 8 years old and shows her pitch, her phrasing, and her understanding of how to use the right ornamentation and melodic nuances for this song. One of the best interpretations she has done, in my opinion.
This is an astounding performance for an 8 year old. That line “it’s heaven when yooooooooou, find romance on your menu” just could not be sung any better! The rasp, the vibrato, the phrasing.. A masterpiece.
Totally right on that timing! Even though I know the song and have heard it many times by different performers, I have trouble getting the timing right when I'm just tryin' to sing along! lol
Dear Britt Your daily presentation and comments to Angelinas many songs are like gifts to all Angelinafans. Every day I wait for your warm and intelligent comments. They make my day to a better day❤
The walls belong to Fredriksten festning, an old fortress. It's in Halden near the Swedish border, not in her hometown of Oslo, but Norwegian television taped his Alsang pa grensen sing-along festival there every midsummer. In 2014, Angelina performed there for the first time as part of the opening show on June 3, 2014 and has been doing it ever since, if possible, until last year. Recall that her win at Norske Talenter came on May 23 of the same year.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another amazing performance by Angelina - this time outdoors with back up singers - at age 8. I believe this was at one of the Norway outdoor summer music festivals at which many of the women & girls wear flowers in their hair. I highly recommend another young Angelina performance at this same venue - Something's Got A Hold On Me - at which she has a whole backup choir. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
"Something's Got A Hold On Me" is great - gospel feeling, and she had that much fun with it as well as the audience. th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
The sight of that little girl with flowers in her hair, little white dress and bare feet, looking like a little angel and with that powerful voice, had a huge impact on me and I immediately fell in love with her. And since then I have never stopped listening to it. Time has passed and she continues to surprise with each performance, her voice has changed and is becoming more and more beautiful. May your star continue to shine brighter! Thanks for the video! I loved! 🙏⚘️👏👏👏
Thats one of my absolutly favorit performances from angelina, so jazzy, her voice awsome, 8 years old singing befor such many people with a live band, stunning 😮i am so excieted on her new cd, new own song, wow 👑♥️🌹💫
This performance by Angelina is in her 'Hall of Fame' library because this was as close to perfection as anything she has ever done. A lot of us have songs she's sung which are fantastic and will never be forgotten but 'What a Difference a Day Makes' is our all time FAVORITE video. It's just incredible.
Yeah..the excellence of what Angelina does always overwhelms the incongruities (the lyrics vs her presence vs her age) present in nearly all of her early performances.
The first time I heard it...I couldn't believe it!!I thought it was a joke..then I realized that this incredible Talent existed and I got caught like a fish in Angelina's net...the fact is that . ..I'm very happy!!!..:) Thanks Britt...Massimo😍
I love this and all of Angelina's songs. So blessed we are, I feel, to live in the same space of time and hear this angel sing. Destined to be one of the most beautiful voices in history, in my opinion, which is worth nothing, but there it is lol. I'd love, also, for you to check out some Teddy Swims. Another great voice I think you'd enjoy and I'd like to see you react to. A good video of his to start would be th-cam.com/video/_Bm14Bv1DKU/w-d-xo.html
She is just phenomenal, having the ability to put so much emotion into a song without have experienced anything like it in young life. She still does it to this day.
Thank you Britt for your beautiful reactions to our Ray of Light. I've been floating around in Angelina's magical heavenly world since i first heard her, this is my favorite version of this song ever and will remain so until she sings it again, and the same goes for pretty much everything she sings. She is just a joy with a heart big enough to hold the world and a voice beautiful enough to calm it, Love her. Love to all X.
I love this culture, so nature oriented with outdoor community festivals and celebrating life with so many flowers. Yes, it does appear she grew up in this festival and I think it was about the same with her long awaited return last summer with her concert when she returned not as a child but a mature, elegant and classy young woman. I think some of her song choices were meant to establish that break from her being a child. Your mic is hot. Good reaction. Love these older ones too.
This was one month after her won Norway Got Talent. It is a TV show (a sing a long event with several artists, an annual event she has visited later) with the same station that holding Norway Got Talent. They put som extra efford into her performance.
Simply incredible what she could do at that age and a message to all of us to stick with her as she conquers the world which is getting closer every day. Loving your choices.
Good morning, Britt. I love this so much, and am glad you've caught it. This was after she won Norway's Got Talent, and it always strikes me as so appropriate to sing right after such a big win. And you go have the day YOU deserve, Britt. I appreciate your appreciation and enthusiasm forever more. Grandma Ellen, out.
Hi Britt 👋. Sweet reaction. David Foster was blown away with this performance and was telling others about it. Eventually she would perform for one of his events. (This was originally made popular by Diane Washington back in the day). Love your reactions. Maybe you would react to another young vocal Prodigy . Her genre isn't very popular and she's not well known outside her circle. Check out Laura Bretan's audition for AGT when she was 13. She already won Romania's Got Talent at 13, now they have her trying out for AGT. God bless you Britt 🙏. 🙂❤
Hi Britt one of my favorite performances by Angelina, was a song originally sung by Diana Washington.She is so cute and always on point with her powerful Voice I lover ❤❤❤so much .She is a talent marvel,prodigy child,Girl now Lady.She is and remains the Queen of Jazz.Great reaction Britt as always.Love❤and Peace 🙏from Switzerland 🇨🇭 😊
This might be my favorite of her preteen performances. Some others may have more "wow" moments but this one is so perfectly done and the song itself is amazing. I always wonder what the band members and backup singers think when working with little Angelina. Do they have a sense of being part of history?
When I was in the Marines in 1959 one of the guys had Dinah Washington's record and we would listen to it at night in the barrick's and not a peep was heard, Angelina's version was a re-incarnation of Dinah, boy does that bring back great memories of the past. Such power from such a young child, loved it.
I totally enjoy your reactions to Angelina especially the younger years cause its just amazing to see the gifts mankind sometimes gets ... looking forward to your reaction to angelina 6yrs first time in the studio. This one will blow you away ... be sure to turn on CC so you can read what went on after the recording th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
Her 'vocal chameleon' ability to emulate the vocals of just about any artist she desires is on display here as she makes the listener think it's Dinah Washington singing her original recording of this song. It's the same story a year earlier when her rendition of 'Gloomy Sunday' sounded so much like Billie Holiday that people were beginning to say Billie was reincarnated in a 7 year old girl from Norway. Here, she's a year older, being 8 years of age.
Britt another great reaction This song, of 1934, was originally written in Spanish and the English lyrics written in 1934 by Stanley Adams and played by Harry Roy's orchestra, the first recording was by Jimmy Ague and successfully recorded by the Dorsey Brothers in 1934. Dinah Washington won a Grammy for her recording in 1959 and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. Recommend reacting to her version, I think this where AJ got her inspiration from. Many critics say how can this little girl understand the song and present the emotion of the lyrics, but many pro vocalist say it's not just about the lyrics, it's the emotion of the music, you can listen to a song in a different language and feel the emotions without understanding the lyrics, they also point out that not even the pitch matters, it's the emotion of the music that matters, AJ feels the music and emulates the feeling the music is giving her and maybe relating it to something she has experienced and she gives us that feeling. Have a great day😊
Britt Angelina covers ( Only love can hurt like this ) ( HALO ) ( Love is a game ) ( The writing is on the wall ) ( Love on the Brain ) piano version ( I will survive ) ( @ Alan Walker is heading home ) ( Above the Water ) ( Mr Lonely ) ( I'm a fool to want you, studio version ) ( Lost on you ) ( Take on me ) ( House of the rising sun ) 😎
thanks, Britt! What a great control and "jazz" sound... (I think about the adult background singers... was it weird for them to "back up" this child? lol)... I really enjoy her young performances.. she is so self-possessed & confident!... Appreciate your listening...
I absolutely understand being mesmerized by Angelina Jordan; however, she's not the only amazing singer from the region. A Norwegian who doesn't seem to get the same publicity is Sissel. I believe she goes by the one name because the pronunciation of the letters in her last name are hard to relate to English. Anyway, she's been a national treasure in Norway for decades with her angelic soprano voice. Search for "Sissel o mio babbino caro" and get out the tear towel. You don't have to speak Italian to have tears the way she sings this sad song. Once you're hooked, search for "Sissel Kyrkjebø, Paddy Moloney & Kalle Moraeus - Shenandoah".
Hey! I love all of your reactions and esspecialy the reactions to angelina and dimash! I am such a huge dimash fan! But now i want to ask you if you would like to a video of aretha franklin, amazing grece from 1972, probabily the most emotional video i've seen! Please!
My Favorite at this age. Absolutely beautiful. It sounds so much like the way Dinah Washington sang it that it's not easy to tell them apart. This Mashup with Dinah will convince you of this th-cam.com/video/BM87RyQQWcQ/w-d-xo.html Absolutely astounding. ♥👣 Do them together if you can. ♥👣 My favorite song of all time. ♥👣 This is to me the most beautiful rendition of this song and to me THE most beautiful performance by an 8 yr old I have ever witnessed. “When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 ♥👣
I'm really enjoying your channel, esp. the Angelina Jordan reactions but, also others. Still, one little bitty insignificant thing I would like to point out that would make it even better. Please leave off "FIRST TIME REACTING TO |" on the title. It's always assumed in a reaction and consumes space that forces the rest of the title out of sight in many cases. Just sayin'.
What a difference Angelina makes!
This is THE most accomplished performance by an 8yo EVER. She absolutely smashed it. Her timing is impeccable. Everything about it is perfect. A lot of fully grown professional singers would struggle to better this performance. I tear up every time I listen to it.
This is one of my absolute favourites by Angelina: when her voice comes in ... instant goosebumps every single time ! :) And her incredible calm and poise singing there in the middle of a large crowd... amazing

It’s scary how much like Dinah she sounds here even to some of her intimations…. and yet AJ makes it her own.

Angelinas family only allowed her to perform when school was on break for the summer. Most performances were in Norway where she lived.
The sight of that little girl with flowers in her hair, little white dress and bare feet, looking like a little angel and with that powerful voice, had a huge impact on me and I immediately fell in love with her. And since then I have never stopped listening to it. Time has passed and she continues to surprise with each performance, her voice has changed and is becoming more and more beautiful.

Such supreme confidence!
This was the second Angelina song I ever listened to. I was so astounded, I kept showing it to different people
Thats one of my absolutly favorit performances from angelina, so jazzy, her voice awsome, 8 years old singing befor such many people with a live band, stunning 😮i am so excieted on her new cd, new own song, wow 👑♥️🌹💫
She has so many, but this is one of my most favorite renditions displaying her bluesy voice at the earliest stages. She is he epitome of adorable.
Angelina Jordan is a living Valentine 🌹
This performance by Angelina is in her 'Hall of Fame' library because this was as close to perfection as anything she has ever done. A lot of us have songs she's sung which are fantastic and will never be forgotten but 'What a Difference a Day Makes' is our all time FAVORITE video. It's just incredible.
This still ranks as one of Angelina's finest most iconic performances. Nine years ago, wow!
Yeah..the excellence of what Angelina does always overwhelms the incongruities (the lyrics vs her presence vs her age) present in nearly all of her early performances.

Love that song. From the 40's I think. Between her singing and your beautiful smile, you two make me grin.
Are to believe that an 8 year old can remember all those lyrics, all those songs.
Angelina nerds might appreciate that this is one of the very few (maybe 2 or 3?) performances where she bows at the end instead of curtsies.
Love your reactions Britt! You are my favorite 😉
Great song . I remember the great Dinah Washington . I would bet that she would be amazed to hear this little girl .
When I was in the Marines in 1959 one of the guys had Dinah Washington's record and we would listen to it at night in the barrick's and not a peep was heard, Angelina's version was a re-incarnation of Dinah, boy does that bring back great memories of the past.

I totally enjoy your reactions to Angelina especially the younger years cause its just amazing to see the gifts mankind sometimes gets ... looking forward to your reaction to angelina 6yrs first time in the studio.

This Blows the Roof Off. Another Favorite ❤
She is so good to sing❤
Billie Holiday (1933) always wore flowers in her hair. Her music inspired Angelina at a very young age.
And the difference is AJ !!!
As usual amazing
When she closed her eyes, you could tell she was in the happy place where her talent came from.
