many people say that her ability is unusual for her age. I don't think that it has anything to do with her age. angelina jordan has a genius and a feeling for music, language and poetry. that is nothing that you learn with age .Either you have it in your genes or you don't. her age does not matter
This is indeed a MASTERPIECE, as is Angelina Jordan, wait till you experience the rest of this story telling genius. She is without a doubt the greatest singer I have ever experienced in my 74 years.
Andreas, Angelina has been creating and co-creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was seven years old. She is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She was nine years old when she wrote her book. She was six years old when she experienced her first studio recording session. In that session she covered the song, “I Who Have Nothing”. That session is available on youtube. Angelina wrote four songs and recorded them by the time she was twelve years old. She has traveled the world and sung for foreign leaders and dignitaries. She had a cameo singing appearance in a movie. She is the vocalist in the movie, “The Hating Game”. Angelina has accomplished more in her sixteen years on this planet than most aspiring singers ever will in their whole lives. Angelina is a bona fide musical genius and a gift to mankind.
As you seem to be totally blown away with her genius arrangement ability with this rendition you should watch her tribute arrangement of "I Put A Spell On You" when she was 9 years old .And some of her more recent covers now, that she is 16. To truly know this young lady is a once in a lifetime modern day vocal Picasso as she can sing any genre and sings any cover usually better than the originals.
Worldclass Reaction...in meinen Augen! Ich möchte es bitte in meiner Sprache sagen! Genau auf solch eine Reaktion habe ich nun mindestens seit 2 Jahren gewartet. Der direkte Vergleich mit anderen Künstlern. Eingeblendete Vergleiche, um die Erklärungen anhand anderer zu verstehen. Das sofortige unterbrechen des Songs, weil eine Erklärung im technischen Gesangsbereich zu äußern ist. Bei vielen die auf Angelina reagieren hat man das GEfühl, sie konzentrieren sich mehr auf die Copyright bedingte Unterbrechung, oder um das Lied am Stück zu hören. Die Erklärungen sind zwar im nachhinein doch besser als bei LEuten, die sich mit anderen Themen befassen, doch ihr habt dem endlch das gegeben, auf das ich so lange warten mußte. Technische und gesangliche Wissen, welches mir so wichtig war. For that, i will send you an extra THANK´s !!! You have a new Follower for A.J.A.....its me ;)
Beautiful and technical reaction, thank you for choosing our barefoot princess, Andreas. It's amazing to think that she, at just 13, was able to take a challenge with a song like this and turn it into a song of HER, with a fantastic reworking, a calm, powerful and terribly emotional interpretation and great courage. She loves to sing and does it exceptionally and in her own way. Please keep reacting to Angelina, she has so many wonderful performances that you will surely be pleasantly surprised. Angelina is not only what you saw in this unique interpretation, she is much more and even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level, she has performed over 130 different songs, including covers, songs written for her and also her 5 original songs. If you want to see how much she has already changed a little over a year after Bohemian, listen to her latest released original songs, "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" in recent months, or if you prefer, released just four weeks ago, the her new cover of Adele's song, "All I Ask", is just awesome. th-cam.com/video/8gJuprckBxI/w-d-xo.html🤗
The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is easily explained as the best, most versatile, and complete young singer we can listen to today. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 500 Million Views on TH-cam and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via TH-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years, I know that we will see great things from Angelina.(Google translate)
@@andreasgrussl With greetings from the North Norway (The land of the midnightsun) here is a lot more of Angelina from she was six and older....have a good time! th-cam.com/video/9TwFRt8JyZI/w-d-xo.html
Much for you to read in these comments so i will keep this short. I suggest you go back to the Norways got talent performances. It is the entrance to what is the Angelina rabbit hole! I will enjoy listening to your commentary!!
Start w ‘Put A Spell OnYou’ when age was NINE!!!! Also, ‘It’s A Mans World’ ..Lana and Adele covers etc etc etc …and then you’ll inevitably fall into the magical rabbit hole and not want to ever come out!!!! ANGELina is an old soul genius!!!!!! 🙏⭐️🙏
Couldn't agree more, I would add simply to get an idea of her range "how great thou are" and "I have nothing", I believe those are the ones at the moment where she is close in age and goes from lowest to highest. Some other brilliant songs are her Adele covers and I'd rather go blind.
Thank you for featuring Angelina Jordan on your channel. I'm always happy to see more and more people get to know Angelina and appreciate her talent. She's so underrated! I very much enjoyed your reaction, explanations, references and illustrations. The video is put well together. I think Angelina proved here that not only loud and high performances are impressive, it can be quite the opposite. The simple arrangement and choice of instrument went well together with the meaning of the words. I follow Angelina for quite a while now and I noticed that this aspect is one of her biggest fortes: despite her age she knows how to arrange and interpret a song in a way that enhances the whole meaning of the song. The audience can't help but being captivated and touched by the emotions she delivers. She covered like more than a hundred songs (most of them with a simple mic), but the funny thing is, even if you know her for several years, you still won't get her style and you don't know what to expect with her next release, because each cover is held like in another style, but she's certainly heavily influenced by jazz.
Great reaction welcome to the rabbit hole of Angelina there is is so much pleasure to be found in any of her numerous covers and her own songs that it will just amaze you i promise :)) ty
Welcome to the world of Angelina, where amazement is the standard. Most versatile, emotion conveying, entrancing musical artist of all time. The G.O.A.T in my opinion. I know that sounds absurd, at age 15 now, but truly I have no one to even compare her with, or at least any one who is even close.
Andreas, welcome to Angelina's world! Wow, do you have a lot to listen to. Yes, she won Norway's Got Talent while she was 7 and turned 8 during the show. As well as she sang at 7-8-9 she really blossomed at age 10 and some of her covers at 10 yrs old challenged the originals as to which one was better. Not only is she a wonderful singer as you so eloquently pointed out but you will find out what a wonderful person she is, as well. The performance you just watched more resembled a concert performance rather than an appearance on a talent show contest. And, I don't know if you were aware of what was happening to you during the performance but Angelina touched your heart. Some signals that back up that statement are goosebumps, tearing up, and an inability to speak clearly. Andreas, it doesn't matter how many times you listen to this, you will feel the same way each time. Welcome aboard, my friend. Enjoy the journey you are about to embark on.
Thanks Andreas for your reaction on our precious. I see great posts already about this girl, which imo is one of the greatest hopes of future singing. As long as she can keep her low profile, working ethics and enjoyment about music, we have wonders to expect. Her two last songs after she signed, "Million Miles", "7th Heaven" are great lyricaly and musicaly. She carries in her voice, memories and melismas of long forgotten decades, to many she sounds like a reincarnation. It is great that people around her, are very causious about overexposure and proceed carefuly with her carrier. I believe the performances that marked her carrier so far, are the following: Gloomy Sunday, Bang Bang, Summertime, Fly Me To The Moon (The View 2014), I Put A Spell On You, the two AGT ones and her last 2 songs I mentioned before. Keep up the gread job and enjoy
Yes, there is much more to Angelina than that amazing performance. Many first time listeners believe her voice is ideally suited to whatever song they heard that blew them away, but that is definitely not the case. Angelina covers jazz, blues, ballads, pop, R&B, and other genres with the same authenticity you just heard. Her voice is unique, as you noted-slightly raspy, breathy, and resonant, but clear and strong when she wants. And she is the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard. She lives whatever she sings. For an original song 180 degrees different, try her recent release of Seventh Heaven, an upbeat jazz vocal with a stand-up bass driving the rhythm. Or watch her emotional power with any of several covers of Adele: try Someone Like You or All I Ask. But to understand Angelina right away, listen to one of her Norway’s Got Talent performances. All are amazing, but watch her at eight giving you her own take on Summertime. She is, without any doubt or reservation, the best singer I’ve ever heard in my 70+ years.
Good luck identifying Angelina from this song. This is the first time I heard her sound like this. This is the voice she used for AGT Champions. If you listened something like I Put a Spell On You, Black and White version or I’m Still Holding Out for You, you would never it’s the same singer.
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise 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* 💯👣
The thing about that most powerful note is that it sound like a scream of pain while it is actually singing. It is very true to what the song is about, and she expresses it so that i can feel the pain myself.... I believe she the greatest soundtrack singer for movies, because she does this with every song..make you feel exactly what the song is about.
Very informative reaction & analysis & you are right, there is much yet to hear from her voice. She is the most versatile vocal artist I've see in my 73 years. Reactors always say "her voice is perfect for this song," & that's true. But another song in another genre that needs a different voice, she creates that one for that song. One of her many fan nicknames is Angel of 1,000 Voices. She only uses what's required for that song, so it takes hearing 30-40 of her 140 song catalog of jazz, soul, blues. R&B, country, pop, EDM & some I can't even attribute to a genre. I've never seen a "real" voice coach/teacher that wasn't blown away by her. Her last 4 singles since she's turned pro are amazing. Million Miles "Live in studio" (original about passing of grandpa), 7th Heaven "Studio performance," a finger-snapping jazz song about living life with hope), All I Ask (Adele cover) & Heal The World (Michael Jackson cover), sung as part of a virtual conference between the governments of Norway (her home country) & California (her current residence) on sustainable issues like offshore wind power. Pick any of those to see where she is today at 15. Subscribed for more Angelina reactions!
Gloomy sunday! It launched her career in a way never seen before! Unique mix of her being adorable and singing hauntingly beautiful! It will make you understand her much better. But there will stay something mysterious about her! The imagination she derives her inspiration from keeps us guessing!
You have a new subscriber but BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Thank you for discovering and reacting my favourite singer. Angelina re-arranged the sonh for the performance. She does this with many of her cover songs. Her fans call it "Angelina-fying" a song. The lady who first stood and clapped at the end of Angelina's performance was her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani. On her right was Angelina's mother, Sara Astar, then Juliette,her sister and then her uncle, Michael Astar who is also her Manager. Heidi Klum hit the Golden Buzzer. So Angelina went straight to the Final, where she performed Elton John's classic "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".¡ My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". Well, it was a seven-year-old child who appeared on the stage. She was small and had wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. My first surprise was how she confidently answered questions put to her by one of the judges. She showed no signs of nerves and when she was asked what song she was going to perform, she declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Then she gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and started singing. Yeah! The body of the 7-year-old child was still there, but the voice wasn't. It was that of a 40-50 year old black woman who had been singing for decades. That first moment of surprise has been experienced many times since then. I have followed her career since I saw that first video on TH-cam and in the years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Avicii, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others: in total over 220 different songs and 82 different performers. She takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. She never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener. When you listen to her there is the feeling that you are the object of her attention. She is singing for you alone. I have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What I will never understand is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing, once she starts to sing. Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with backing music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world. Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions So, here a few recordings for you to consider. age 6 - First visit to a Recording Studio:I who have nothing: th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html age 7 - Norway's Got Talent - First Audition: Gloomy Sunday: th-cam.com/video/8q7MqdFoibI/w-d-xo.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off:I’m a fool to want you th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Semi Final: Bang Bang: th-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Final: Summertime: th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Concert in Sweden - "I'll be there":th-cam.com/video/VJIwvWdoO3o/w-d-xo.html age 8 - Charity Concert: At last: th-cam.com/video/819bQ9I-T-g/w-d-xo.html age 9 - Studio Performance:I put a spell on you th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html age 11 - It’s Now or Never - th-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/w-d-xo.html age 10 - Norwegian TV Production: Every time we say goodbye: th-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/w-d-xo.html One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order. Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
Love your reaction. She’s a music prodigy. She made her own arrangements and lyrics. That’s incredible. She’s actually 15 years old. Her last covers of Adele’s song “All I Ask” and Michael Jackson’s song “Heal the world “, there are breathtaking!! She has also more than 130 covers from different artists and 4-5 original songs. For me she’s the best female vocalist.
Andreas many thanks for reacting to my all time favorite musical artist. Angelina Jordan is a true music prodigy but the only one I know of who specializes in vocals. She is the only vocalist to ever make me cry. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read 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, Farci, 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 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, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon. 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.
Thanks for sharing this with me. After watching only one of her performances I can already tell that she is a very special person. Her musical gift is extraordinary and her voice transfers it perfectly!
Great Reaction!! Wonderful having a fresh pair of well-trained ears breaking down Angelina's music. Your take is fresh and intelligent. Of course the most amazing thing that I've ever witnessed on TH-cam is my choice for her next song to react to: I Put a Spell on You (B&W version) recorded when she was just 9. Familiarize yourself with the original version by Screaming Jay Hawkins rather than the many covers and go directly to the video, do not pass go, the experience alone is worth $200. ✌️😎👍
Thank you for sharing. We love watching people discover Angelina. It's always epiphanal 😀 "I put a spell on you" (black & white version), will leave no doubt in your mind of this amazing artists capabilities, even at the age of nine.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! 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 Andreas. Thank you for taking the time in life to care for other People. Many, Many thank You's 4 supporting Miss Angilina Jordon! The Emerald Pearl of Norway. The Greatest Voice in recent / overall Human history!!!! What great fun here sharing your Professional Education Craft with a World-wide Audience. Plus you're the Host of your own Show / Program on TH-cam! Congratulations!!!. Your Marketing, Show Content & Love 4 Music, all well done!!!.
You mentioned Norah Jones, well dear sir, Norah Jones got Angelina to open one of her concerts, Quincy Jones says she is the greatest since Michael Jackson, as she sang acapella for him on his 85th birthday.
*Amazing voice. It´s very impressive from begin with her absolute hearing. As when the bud develops, shines in beautiful colors, doesn´t fade but close with a splendor. Such, but also much more colorful is her voice. Great dynamics, riffing, pleasant brilliancy...
She was the arranger of this of the song and has 130 covers of different songs, plus 5 originals she wrote and 3 or 4 she didn't write. Queen liked it too. Do her cover of "I put a spell on" , the black and white version.
Interesting perspective with quite a few new points. She's very versatile, so you'll have to go a long way to explore all aspects of her voice. It'll be a fun ride.
The next Angelina Jordan song you should check out is the black and white version of "I put a spell on you". She was 9 years old in that video. It will blow your mind!
Thanks for the great first reaction. I urge you to check out her performances of "Gloomy Sunday" and "Summertime" on Norway's Got Talent at 7 & 8 years old.
Thank you, Andreas, 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 and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as a professional, 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!
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video! I will definitely react to more of her singing because she has really impressed me with her music and singing skills!
No singer but Angelina Jordan could echo a Brian May guitar riff & do it so brilliantly. I'll have to subscribe for more Angelina reactions. Thank you.
Excellent video, very well organized! Perfect didactics and diction. Angelina transforms people, her talent and charisma make us better people. Witnessing the exercise and practice of his genius is an honor.
I heard a few singers try to recreate this version & have failed AJ stripped down the song & added a level of technical difficulty that very few singers can achieve.AJ beautified a classic rock song into a ballad
Be sure to watch the fourth judge’s reaction in particular! For a taste of her lower register, watch How Great Thou Art. I think she was even younger there.
Bohemian Rhapsody was my first exposure to Angelina. I agree totally that her voice is so beautiful and distinctive it is immediately recognizable. I still remember when I first heard Norah Jones I was struct and mesmerized from the get go. Loved your reaction and analysis.
Wow - Andreas, what a fabulous first reaction. you have my subscription straight away. I won't write loads in my comment as every I would and could say will have been covered I know in the 97 comments already made by many fellows Angelina fans. But I would like to just compliment you on your reaction and hence why I subscribed. You took the time to find out a little about Angelina and I appreciate that - Her age, the fact that the won NGT when she was 7. etc (maybe all in the start of this video but you bothered to take it in and recalled it and I appreciate. But then probably more so, you sound very technically knowledgeable and I really appreciate reactors / vocal coaches who know there stuff and what they are saying about this amazing vocal talent. (Of course I would as I am a massive (albeit relatively newbie AJ fan and this song was also my first to hear of her) So looking forward and hoping to hear many more reactions to Angelina from you. It can only be good for her and her popularity to be exposed and listened to more and more people through out the world. I hope some of your already subscribers will listen and also like and maybe become a fan also. I see you have had 3841 views already and 803 likes so in terms of your own channel I think this could be really good for you but from what I've just seen, I think you are really going to enjoy this ride.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy enjoyed the video and I definitely plan to react to more of her performances since I'm pretty sure there is a lot more fantastic singing to see.
You need to see her cover (with her own arrangement) of I put a spell on you (Black and White version) by Screaming Jay Hawkins, at the age of 9, and her cover of ALL I ASK by Adele, at 15.
Great reaction! If you want more Angelina (we sure do), try her first NGT audition "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7, her "All I Ask" Adele cover... but really let's stop kidding. Any of her songs.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction & commentary!!! Please react to her version of Screamin Jay Hawkins version of, I put a spell on you, she was only 9 years old!
Brilliant reaction, thanks so much for sharing! Subscribed, so I dont miss the next one 💖 You said you wanted to hear the higher part of her voice, but its actually the lower parts you want to hear 😁 Her cover of 'How great thou art' is something truly special.
More reactions to Angelina! When you do, I’ll be back. I vote for Goodbye Yellowbrick Road, I’d Rather Go Blind, I Put a Spell on You, and her most recent single, 7th Heaven. I just love her! 💕
I've seen this hundreds of times and it touches me more each time. It is now very iconic and a great way to be introduced to this beautiful young woman and her one of a kind voice. She also has very interesting life story.
You're really good. I mean..Angelina is completely out of this world, she's a legend in the making. But your technical analysis is really impressive as well.
Andreas, this may be the best comment on Angelina’s BR I have heard. And includes the reference to Katie M witch don’t happens often, if ever. My preferred singer until I met AJ Astar.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for including some brief examples of your references. Few other reactors do that, and it is a shame as there are certainly many viewers who are unfamiliar with older jazz, and such. I have subscribed. You sir, are in for quite a ride.
Love your reaction and how you broke it down and described how she made it so good , on this shorter version and whybwe all love this version without all the musical instruments that are so important to the sound of the original. most people love her version while watching her preform it and know its special, but can't put their finger on why its so good. But your breakdown I believe is the best on what she did and why she did it. Is wonderful and not only. Makes you are Great reactor, but just emphised even more how smart and talented She is at her age , or any age to arrange this to be so fulfilling to our ears and emotions, without having to use all the "extras" like instrumentsvand back up vocals ect. Ty and keep reacting and I will keep tuning in to watch must most of all keep having fun !
Hi Andreas, herzlichen Glückwunsch: Du bist einer der wenigen TH-camr, die ich gleich nach der ersten Reaction abonniere ;-) Dein Reactionvideo ist eine Perle unter den Reactionvideos zu Angelina Jordan, die ich bisher gesehen habe (und ich habe bisher über 5000 gesehen :-) ) - sehr professionelle Analyse und super Beispiel-snippets für die Beschreibungen, die Du gibst. Du hast zwar schon viele Kommentare mit sehr viel Information bekommen, aber vielleicht findest Du trotzdem noch eine neue Info in meinem "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - der ist zwar auf Englisch, aber das ja für Dich kein Problem... Also, hier mein SFC (mit ganz kleinen Individualisierungen): Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this professional, honest and interesting reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... There is a big pile of over 130 videos on TH-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).

So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ... And a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
Es freut mich sehr, dass dir mein Video so gut gefallen hat und dass du meinen Kanal abonniert hast! Vielen Dank auch für die ausführliche Liederliste und die Hintergrundinformationen zu Angelina. Liebe Grüße, Andreas
Nice start!! This performance started me on my Angelina journey. I hope it does the same for you. Favorites replace favorites. Check out the suggestions and let's start this train.
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes and has written a best-selling book and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The grandmother on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather.
First of all Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan Astar! You just found the Queen of music ! Angelina is a living legend with the age of 15 . Her vocal range is 5 octaves as i can hear. You just on a start of a great journey she got over 150 songs on TH-cam , If you like to do some more reactions start with i Put a spell on you its a masterpiece of music art. The black and white version. So enjoy and hopefully we will see you all on this reaction. Best Chris
Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 15 (as of 1/10/2021 ) years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html ) plus a new release this month April of '7 th Heaven" link: th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background: (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkth-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html 2. Oslo,, th-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/w-d-xo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html 4. Above the water,, th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert. When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road". She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
I so envy your starting on the Angelina journey from first listen. I've come to where I've memorized them all, and wait impatiently for new releases. Enjoy.
She tranform thr killersong to a lovesong..you can go back to when she was in Norway got talent at 2014 singing Billi Hollyday so Bang Bang shot you dawn and «sommertime»..😂👍💟
as a vocal coach i am sure its not easy to stunned you,,,,,,,,,,,,,there are plenty of raw and polished diamonds,,,,,,,,,,,,,but there is only one wild pearl in the sea,,,,,,,but you have to be more then just a coach to see it,,,,,,,i ,hope for you ,,,that you are,,,,,,and magic will happen
I’m here for the ride!! You are in for a magical trip with Angelina’s voice and her way of making you feel!! Here’s the song that really started it all. When you see her mom wiping away tears, she said, and I’m paraphrasing, that that’s when she realized that she has lost Angelina to the world!! th-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/w-d-xo.html

many people say that her ability is unusual for her age. I don't think that it has anything to do with her age. angelina jordan has a genius and a feeling for music, language and poetry. that is nothing that you learn with age .Either you have it in your genes or you don't. her age does not matter
This is indeed a MASTERPIECE, as is Angelina Jordan, wait till you experience the rest of this story telling genius. She is without a doubt the greatest singer I have ever experienced in my 74 years.
Thanks for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world.💖💖💖
Andreas, Angelina has been creating and co-creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was seven years old. She is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She was nine years old when she wrote her book. She was six years old when she experienced her first studio recording session. In that session she covered the song, “I Who Have Nothing”. That session is available on youtube. Angelina wrote four songs and recorded them by the time she was twelve years old. She has traveled the world and sung for foreign leaders and dignitaries. She had a cameo singing appearance in a movie. She is the vocalist in the movie, “The Hating Game”. Angelina has accomplished more in her sixteen years on this planet than most aspiring singers ever will in their whole lives. Angelina is a bona fide musical genius and a gift to mankind.
I will love this masterpiece-version from bohemian rhapsody for ever ♥️ angelina is such a amazing vocalist and musician ♥️ a real diva 🌹♥️🌟🙌
As you seem to be totally blown away with her genius arrangement ability with this rendition you should watch her tribute arrangement of "I Put A Spell On You" when she was 9 years old .And some of her more recent covers now, that she is 16. To truly know this young lady is a once in a lifetime modern day vocal Picasso as she can sing any genre and sings any cover usually better than the originals.
You are the most technically detailed and enthusiastic reactor I've listened to. Thank you!
Can't get enough of her voice! Pure ear candy!🎉
Worldclass Reaction...in meinen Augen! Ich möchte es bitte in meiner Sprache sagen! Genau auf solch eine Reaktion habe ich nun mindestens seit 2 Jahren gewartet. Der direkte Vergleich mit anderen Künstlern. Eingeblendete Vergleiche, um die Erklärungen anhand anderer zu verstehen. Das sofortige unterbrechen des Songs, weil eine Erklärung im technischen Gesangsbereich zu äußern ist.
Bei vielen die auf Angelina reagieren hat man das GEfühl, sie konzentrieren sich mehr auf die Copyright bedingte Unterbrechung, oder um das Lied am Stück zu hören. Die Erklärungen sind zwar im nachhinein doch besser als bei LEuten, die sich mit anderen Themen befassen, doch ihr habt dem endlch das gegeben, auf das ich so lange warten mußte. Technische und gesangliche Wissen, welches mir so wichtig war.
For that, i will send you an extra THANK´s !!! You have a new Follower for A.J.A.....its me ;)
Vielen Dank für dein ausführliches Lob! And many thanks for subscribing!
❤️ Angie ❤️
She is amazing!
You mentioned Norah Jones Angelina actually sang at Norah Jones concert in Japan when she was 11 years old
Wow, that's cool. Thanks for mentioning!
She is simply amazing
She is amazing!
Beautiful and technical reaction, thank you for choosing our barefoot princess, Andreas. It's amazing to think that she, at just 13, was able to take a challenge with a song like this and turn it into a song of HER, with a fantastic reworking, a calm, powerful and terribly emotional interpretation and great courage. She loves to sing and does it exceptionally and in her own way. Please keep reacting to Angelina, she has so many wonderful performances that you will surely be pleasantly surprised. Angelina is not only what you saw in this unique interpretation, she is much more and even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level, she has performed over 130 different songs, including covers, songs written for her and also her 5 original songs.
If you want to see how much she has already changed a little over a year after Bohemian, listen to her latest released original songs, "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" in recent months, or if you prefer, released just four weeks ago, the her new cover of Adele's song, "All I Ask", is just awesome.
th-cam.com/video/8gJuprckBxI/w-d-xo.html🤗
Thanks for your song suggestion. I'm also happy you enjoyed the video!
True appreciation would be to do more reactions!! GO ANGELINA JORDAN!!!!
I will do more reactions on her songs for sure.
HI, MILLION YEARS AGO, feeling good back to black
She did the arrangement herself, which is impressive. You also have to remembre that English is her third language.
Wow, the arrangement was really impressive!
The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is easily explained as the best, most versatile, and complete young singer we can listen to today. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 500 Million Views on TH-cam and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via TH-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years, I know that we will see great things from Angelina.(Google translate)
Thank you for this background information!
@@andreasgrussl With greetings from the North Norway (The land of the midnightsun) here is a lot more of Angelina from she was six and older....have a good time! th-cam.com/video/9TwFRt8JyZI/w-d-xo.html
@@janharaldpedersen Thanks!
Yay for google translate... nice 🙂
She makes old songs NEW!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yes, that's a very nice way of saying it!
Much for you to read in these comments so i will keep this short. I suggest you go back to the Norways got talent performances. It is the entrance to what is the Angelina rabbit hole! I will enjoy listening to your commentary!!
Thank you, I'll take a look at the performances from Norway's got talent.
Well you will have the choice because Angelina is also call the girl with a thousand voices. Welcome into Angelina world.
Thank you!
Congratulations, you have just opened a big gift to humanity . Now you can't stop listen to her, every day, hundred of times. Not lying.
Thank you, I'm very curious to learn about her singing!
Start w ‘Put A Spell OnYou’ when age was NINE!!!! Also, ‘It’s A Mans World’ ..Lana and Adele covers etc etc etc …and then you’ll inevitably fall into the magical rabbit hole and not want to ever come out!!!! ANGELina is an old soul genius!!!!!! 🙏⭐️🙏
Black and white version
but the black & white version please.
Thanks for your song suggestions!
Couldn't agree more, I would add simply to get an idea of her range "how great thou are" and "I have nothing", I believe those are the ones at the moment where she is close in age and goes from lowest to highest.
Some other brilliant songs are her Adele covers and I'd rather go blind.
Thank you for featuring Angelina Jordan on your channel. I'm always happy to see more and more people get to know Angelina and appreciate her talent. She's so underrated! I very much enjoyed your reaction, explanations, references and illustrations. The video is put well together.
I think Angelina proved here that not only loud and high performances are impressive, it can be quite the opposite. The simple arrangement and choice of instrument went well together with the meaning of the words. I follow Angelina for quite a while now and I noticed that this aspect is one of her biggest fortes: despite her age she knows how to arrange and interpret a song in a way that enhances the whole meaning of the song. The audience can't help but being captivated and touched by the emotions she delivers. She covered like more than a hundred songs (most of them with a simple mic), but the funny thing is, even if you know her for several years, you still won't get her style and you don't know what to expect with her next release, because each cover is held like in another style, but she's certainly heavily influenced by jazz.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video!
Great reaction welcome to the rabbit hole of Angelina there is is so much pleasure to be found in any of her numerous covers and her own songs that it will just amaze you i promise :)) ty
Thank you, I'm curious to look into more of her singing!
Welcome to the world of Angelina, where amazement is the standard. Most versatile, emotion conveying, entrancing musical artist of all time. The G.O.A.T in my opinion. I know that sounds absurd, at age 15 now, but truly I have no one to even compare her with, or at least any one who is even close.
Thank you, she is is amazing!
Andreas, welcome to Angelina's world! Wow, do you have a lot to listen to. Yes, she won Norway's Got Talent while she was 7 and turned 8 during the show. As well as she sang at 7-8-9 she really blossomed at age 10 and some of her covers at 10 yrs old challenged the originals as to which one was better.
Not only is she a wonderful singer as you so eloquently pointed out but you will find out what a wonderful person she is, as well.
The performance you just watched more resembled a concert performance rather than an appearance on a talent show contest. And, I don't know if you were aware of what was happening to you during the performance but Angelina touched your heart. Some signals that back up that statement are goosebumps, tearing up, and an inability to speak clearly. Andreas, it doesn't matter how many times you listen to this, you will feel the same way each time.
Welcome aboard, my friend. Enjoy the journey you are about to embark on.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to diving deeper into her music!
I loved her since I heard a few notes of this song. She is incredible . Well done Angelina!!!!
Listening to her is a very special and precious experience!
Thanks Andreas for your reaction on our precious. I see great posts already about this girl, which imo is one of the greatest hopes of future singing. As long as she can keep her low profile, working ethics and enjoyment about music, we have wonders to expect. Her two last songs after she signed, "Million Miles", "7th Heaven" are great lyricaly and musicaly.
She carries in her voice, memories and melismas of long forgotten decades, to many she sounds like a reincarnation. It is great that people around her, are very causious about overexposure and proceed carefuly with her carrier.
I believe the performances that marked her carrier so far, are the following:
Gloomy Sunday, Bang Bang, Summertime, Fly Me To The Moon (The View 2014), I Put A Spell On You, the two AGT ones and her last 2 songs I mentioned before. Keep up the gread job and enjoy
Thank you for your song suggestions! I'm also very happy that you liked the video. I'm already looking forward to hear more of Angelina's voice!
Yes, there is much more to Angelina than that amazing performance. Many first time listeners believe her voice is ideally suited to whatever song they heard that blew them away, but that is definitely not the case. Angelina covers jazz, blues, ballads, pop, R&B, and other genres with the same authenticity you just heard. Her voice is unique, as you noted-slightly raspy, breathy, and resonant, but clear and strong when she wants. And she is the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard. She lives whatever she sings.
For an original song 180 degrees different, try her recent release of Seventh Heaven, an upbeat jazz vocal with a stand-up bass driving the rhythm. Or watch her emotional power with any of several covers of Adele: try Someone Like You or All I Ask. But to understand Angelina right away, listen to one of her Norway’s Got Talent performances. All are amazing, but watch her at eight giving you her own take on Summertime. She is, without any doubt or reservation, the best singer I’ve ever heard in my 70+ years.
Thanks for your song suggestions! I'll check them out.
Good luck identifying Angelina from this song. This is the first time I heard her sound like this. This is the voice she used for AGT Champions. If you listened something like I Put a Spell On You, Black and White version or I’m Still Holding Out for You, you would never it’s the same singer.
Thanks, will take a look at it.
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise 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* 💯👣
Wow, that's really cool!
Don't forget Queen actually gave her the copyrights for her version
Angelina is a total musician. Anything Angelina.
She is amazing!
Love your reaction. It is very informative. I’m looking forward to your next Angelina Jordan reaction. 😉👍
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Happy to listen to any of her music,Knock yourself out, play it all, we love ,we are from Port Fairy. AUSTRALIA. CHEERS
Thanks! Greetings to Australia
The thing about that most powerful note is that it sound like a scream of pain while it is actually singing. It is very true to what the song is about, and she expresses it so that i can feel the pain myself.... I believe she the greatest soundtrack singer for movies, because she does this with every song..make you feel exactly what the song is about.
Agreed, she interpreted this song very well!
Very informative reaction & analysis & you are right, there is much yet to hear from her voice. She is the most versatile vocal artist I've see in my 73 years. Reactors always say "her voice is perfect for this song," & that's true. But another song in another genre that needs a different voice, she creates that one for that song. One of her many fan nicknames is Angel of 1,000 Voices. She only uses what's required for that song, so it takes hearing 30-40 of her 140 song catalog of jazz, soul, blues. R&B, country, pop, EDM & some I can't even attribute to a genre. I've never seen a "real" voice coach/teacher that wasn't blown away by her. Her last 4 singles since she's turned pro are amazing. Million Miles "Live in studio" (original about passing of grandpa), 7th Heaven "Studio performance," a finger-snapping jazz song about living life with hope), All I Ask (Adele cover) & Heal The World (Michael Jackson cover), sung as part of a virtual conference between the governments of Norway (her home country) & California (her current residence) on sustainable issues like offshore wind power. Pick any of those to see where she is today at 15. Subscribed for more Angelina reactions!
Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I'm curious to hear more of her voice.
Gloomy sunday! It launched her career in a way never seen before! Unique mix of her being adorable and singing hauntingly beautiful! It will make you understand her much better. But there will stay something mysterious about her! The imagination she derives her inspiration from keeps us guessing!
Yes, exactly. Her inspiration is as fascinating as her execution.
Thanks, will check it out.
Mysterious ! Thank you ! THATS the word I was looking for to describe her !
You have a new subscriber but BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Thank you for discovering and reacting my favourite singer. Angelina re-arranged the sonh for the performance. She does this with many of her cover songs. Her fans call it "Angelina-fying" a song. The lady who first stood and clapped at the end of Angelina's performance was her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani. On her right was Angelina's mother, Sara Astar, then Juliette,her sister and then her uncle, Michael Astar who is also her Manager. Heidi Klum hit the Golden Buzzer. So Angelina went straight to the Final, where she performed Elton John's classic "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".¡
My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". Well, it was a seven-year-old child who appeared on the stage. She was small and had wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. My first surprise was how she confidently answered questions put to her by one of the judges. She showed no signs of nerves and when she was asked what song she was going to perform, she declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Then she gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and started singing. Yeah! The body of the 7-year-old child was still there, but the voice wasn't. It was that of a 40-50 year old black woman who had been singing for decades. That first moment of surprise has been experienced many times since then.
I have followed her career since I saw that first video on TH-cam and in the years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Avicii, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others: in total over 220 different songs and 82 different performers. She takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. She never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener. When you listen to her there is the feeling that you are the object of her attention. She is singing for you alone.
I have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What I will never understand is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing, once she starts to sing.
Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with backing music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world.
Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions

One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order. Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
As always Albert you are on the money. Nothing was left out.👍👍
Great intro to AJ, Albert -- well said.
Thank you for all this background information and your tips. I really appreciate that you make this effort!
@@andreasgrussl of
What I see (or feel ) - she is beautiful pure mature soul- and maybe it is all about that
Thanks
Love your reaction.
She’s a music prodigy. She made her own arrangements and lyrics. That’s incredible.
She’s actually 15 years old.
Her last covers of Adele’s song “All I Ask” and Michael Jackson’s song “Heal the world “, there are breathtaking!!
She has also more than 130 covers from different artists and 4-5 original songs. For me she’s the best female vocalist.
She is 15yo (her birthday was on 10th Jan) but she was only 13yo when she performed on AGT the C.
Thanks for clarifying this!
yes 15 now, but when she did that AGT she was 13. they said so at the beginning and she verified.
@@vernonhall6804 absolutely amazing
Andreas many thanks for reacting to my all time favorite musical artist. Angelina Jordan is a true music prodigy but the only one I know of who specializes in vocals. She is the only vocalist to ever make me cry. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read 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, Farci, 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 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, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon.
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.
... it's not "Farci," but "Farsi" . ( what a difference one letter makes... ;-)
@@markuss7249 many thanks for pointing that out
Don't forget, Angelina's voice turns ordinary mortals into poets and essayists. 😎
Thanks for sharing this with me. After watching only one of her performances I can already tell that she is a very special person. Her musical gift is extraordinary and her voice transfers it perfectly!
@@andreasgrussl Enjoy your journey with Angelina. I say she is a once in forever musical artist.
Great Reaction!!
Wonderful having a fresh pair of well-trained ears breaking down Angelina's music. Your take is fresh and intelligent.
Of course the most amazing thing that I've ever witnessed on TH-cam is my choice for her next song to react to:
I Put a Spell on You (B&W version) recorded when she was just 9.
Familiarize yourself with the original version by Screaming Jay Hawkins rather than the many covers and go directly to the video, do not pass go, the experience alone is worth $200.
✌️😎👍
Thanks for your song suggestion. I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for sharing. We love watching people discover Angelina. It's always epiphanal 😀
"I put a spell on you" (black & white version), will leave no doubt in your mind of this amazing artists capabilities, even at the age of nine.
Thanks for the song suggestion!
This Girl brings old songs to current songs......she is amazing and I can listen to her all day!❤️❤️❤️
She is pretty incredible! Yes, you can hear influences of some of the really great jazz singers in her voice.
Thank you for reacting to Angelina, your comments were on point, and you have a lot more to discover about this amazing talent and person.... :-)
Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
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.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video. I'm curious to hear more of her voice!
This is an epic performance. The softest version I ever heard!❤😊
Yes, she really made this song her own and transformed it at a quite profound level.
Hello Andreas. Thank you for taking the time in life to care for other People. Many, Many thank You's 4 supporting Miss Angilina Jordon! The Emerald Pearl of Norway. The Greatest Voice in recent / overall Human history!!!! What great fun here sharing your Professional Education Craft with a World-wide Audience. Plus you're the Host of your own Show / Program on TH-cam! Congratulations!!!. Your Marketing, Show Content & Love 4 Music, all well done!!!.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy you liked the video!
beautiful first reaction to Angelina! Thank you very much from Italy! 🇮🇹😊
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
You mentioned Norah Jones, well dear sir, Norah Jones got Angelina to open one of her concerts, Quincy Jones says she is the greatest since Michael Jackson, as she sang acapella for him on his 85th birthday.
*Amazing voice. It´s very impressive from begin with her absolute hearing. As when the bud develops, shines in beautiful colors, doesn´t fade but close with a splendor. Such, but also much more colorful is her voice. Great dynamics, riffing, pleasant brilliancy...
Yes, she is amazing. I haven't checked it, but when I saw her perform it seemed like she has indeed perfect pitch.
She was the arranger of this of the song and has 130 covers of different songs, plus 5 originals she wrote and 3 or 4 she didn't write. Queen liked it too. Do her cover of "I put a spell on" , the black and white version.
Thanks for your song suggestion!
I'm glad you found the bare foot princess of jazz.
She is amazing!
Interesting perspective with quite a few new points. She's very versatile, so you'll have to go a long way to explore all aspects of her voice. It'll be a fun ride.
Thank you, I'm looking forward to it. I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
The next Angelina Jordan song you should check out is the black and white version of "I put a spell on you". She was 9 years old in that video. It will blow your mind!
Thanks, will check it out.
Thanks for the great first reaction. I urge you to check out her performances of "Gloomy Sunday" and "Summertime" on Norway's Got Talent at 7 & 8 years old.
Thank you for your song suggestion. I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Thank you, Andreas, 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 and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as a professional, 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!
Andreas, Robert speaks the truth.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video! I will definitely react to more of her singing because she has really impressed me with her music and singing skills!
Tru
Andreas, Robert and ClandOp speak the truth.
No singer but Angelina Jordan could echo a Brian May guitar riff & do it so brilliantly. I'll have to subscribe for more Angelina reactions. Thank you.
Thank you. I'll definitely react to more of her singing.
Good analysis. Looking forward to see you discover more of Angelina and hear your comments.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Excellent video, very well organized! Perfect didactics and diction. Angelina transforms people, her talent and charisma make us better people. Witnessing the exercise and practice of his genius is an honor.
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Angelina really seems to be a very special singer and musician!
I heard a few singers try to recreate this version & have failed
AJ stripped down the song & added a level of technical difficulty that very few singers can achieve.AJ beautified a classic rock song into a ballad
Be sure to watch the fourth judge’s reaction in particular! For a taste of her lower register, watch How Great Thou Art. I think she was even younger there.
Thanks for your song suggestion!
Bohemian Rhapsody was my first exposure to Angelina. I agree totally that her voice is so beautiful and distinctive it is immediately recognizable. I still remember when I first heard Norah Jones I was struct and mesmerized from the get go. Loved your reaction and analysis.
Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the video.
She turned this song into Bohemian Lullaby.
Its called acoustic....much harder to sing than with a band or backing track.
lol, I like that analogy!
Wow - Andreas, what a fabulous first reaction. you have my subscription straight away. I won't write loads in my comment as every I would and could say will have been covered I know in the 97 comments already made by many fellows Angelina fans. But I would like to just compliment you on your reaction and hence why I subscribed.
You took the time to find out a little about Angelina and I appreciate that - Her age, the fact that the won NGT when she was 7. etc (maybe all in the start of this video but you bothered to take it in and recalled it and I appreciate.
But then probably more so, you sound very technically knowledgeable and I really appreciate reactors / vocal coaches who know there stuff and what they are saying about this amazing vocal talent.
(Of course I would as I am a massive (albeit relatively newbie AJ fan and this song was also my first to hear of her)
So looking forward and hoping to hear many more reactions to Angelina from you. It can only be good for her and her popularity to be exposed and listened to more and more people through out the world. I hope some of your already subscribers will listen and also like and maybe become a fan also.
I see you have had 3841 views already and 803 likes so in terms of your own channel I think this could be really good for you but from what I've just seen, I think you are really going to enjoy this ride.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy enjoyed the video and I definitely plan to react to more of her performances since I'm pretty sure there is a lot more fantastic singing to see.
in that big run, it almost looks like there's an invisible hand moving the larynx just right. she's so good at crafting those curly ornaments
Yes, she does amazing runs!
You need to see her cover (with her own arrangement) of I put a spell on you (Black and White version) by Screaming Jay Hawkins, at the age of 9, and her cover of ALL I ASK by Adele, at 15.
Thanks for your song suggestions!
Great reaction! If you want more Angelina (we sure do), try her first NGT audition "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7, her "All I Ask" Adele cover... but really let's stop kidding. Any of her songs.
Thank you for your song suggestions. I'm happy you liked the video!
One of the best breakdowns of Angelina's voice and style I've heard and I've heard a bunch of them. Great job, Andreas!
Thank you, I'm very happy to hear that!
I really enjoyed your reaction to Angelina. Im subscribing in hopes that you will do more reactions to her.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video!
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction & commentary!!! Please react to her version of Screamin Jay Hawkins version of, I put a spell on you, she was only 9 years old!
Thanks for your song suggestion. I'm also happy you enjoyed the video!
Brilliant reaction, thanks so much for sharing! Subscribed, so I dont miss the next one 💖 You said you wanted to hear the higher part of her voice, but its actually the lower parts you want to hear 😁 Her cover of 'How great thou art' is something truly special.
Thanks for your song suggestion. I'm happy you liked the video!
More reactions to Angelina! When you do, I’ll be back. I vote for Goodbye Yellowbrick Road, I’d Rather Go Blind, I Put a Spell on You, and her most recent single, 7th Heaven. I just love her! 💕
Thanks for your song suggestions!
I've seen this hundreds of times and it touches me more each time. It is now very iconic and a great way to be introduced to this beautiful young woman and her one of a kind voice. She also has very interesting life story.
I'll have to look into her story. But I can totally see how her music manages to touch you every time.
You're really good. I mean..Angelina is completely out of this world, she's a legend in the making. But your technical analysis is really impressive as well.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy you liked the video!
Great reaction, you're in for a treat with Angelina
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Andreas, this may be the best comment on Angelina’s BR I have heard. And includes the reference to Katie M witch don’t happens often, if ever. My preferred singer until I met AJ Astar.
Thank you very much! I'm very happy you liked the video!
I wish she could open with Adele at her concert
Would be amazing!
She has a song that she wrote ( 7 Heven ) and it was recorded live which shows more of her voice. Enjoyed your reaction thumbs up 👍
Thank you for your song suggestion and I'm happy you liked the video!
Thank you 💯 Welcome to the world of Angelina ❤🎵🎶
Subscribed.
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for including some brief examples of your references. Few other reactors do that, and it is a shame as there are certainly many viewers who are unfamiliar with older jazz, and such. I have subscribed. You sir, are in for quite a ride.
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Plus I'm looking forward to the ride :-)
If you haven't seen her on Norways Got Talent singing "Gloomy Sunday",you will not be surprised at any thing she doe's!
Love your reaction and how you broke it down and described how she made it so good , on this shorter version and whybwe all love this version without all the musical instruments that are so important to the sound of the original. most people love her version while watching her preform it and know its special, but can't put their finger on why its so good. But your breakdown I believe is the best on what she did and why she did it. Is wonderful and not only. Makes you are Great reactor, but just emphised even more how smart and talented She is at her age , or any age to arrange this to be so fulfilling to our ears and emotions, without having to use all the "extras" like instrumentsvand back up vocals ect. Ty and keep reacting and I will keep tuning in to watch must most of all keep having fun !
Her version of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road from AGT was also excellent. 😃
Need to take a look at that!
I recommend checking out her version of I'm a fool to want you(she's in a studio).
Thanks for your song suggestion!
Angelina is a child prodigy. She won Norway's Got Talent at 7/8. Please check her 4 performances.
Thanks, will do.
Hi Andreas, herzlichen Glückwunsch: Du bist einer der wenigen TH-camr, die ich gleich nach der ersten Reaction abonniere ;-)
Dein Reactionvideo ist eine Perle unter den Reactionvideos zu Angelina Jordan, die ich bisher gesehen habe (und ich habe bisher über 5000 gesehen :-) ) - sehr professionelle Analyse und super Beispiel-snippets für die Beschreibungen, die Du gibst.
Du hast zwar schon viele Kommentare mit sehr viel Information bekommen, aber vielleicht findest Du trotzdem noch eine neue Info in meinem "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - der ist zwar auf Englisch, aber das ja für Dich kein Problem...
Also, hier mein SFC (mit ganz kleinen Individualisierungen):
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this professional, honest and interesting reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on TH-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...
She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).
First of all here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club:

Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena): th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html .
And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: th-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/w-d-xo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ...
And a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas

Nice start!! This performance started me on my Angelina journey. I hope it does the same for you. Favorites replace favorites. Check out the suggestions and let's start this train.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video!
Welcome to our world. Jump in, there is so much to hear. She is truly incredible 💕
She is indeed!
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes and has written a best-selling book and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The grandmother on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather.
You are in to many surprises. You can take any song and be astonished, but perhaps Gloomy Sunday age 7 is a good start
Thanks for that song suggestion!

You just on a start of a great journey she got over 150 songs on TH-cam , If you like to do some more reactions start with i Put a spell on you its a masterpiece of music art. The black and white version. So enjoy and hopefully we will see you all on this reaction. Best Chris
Thank you for your song suggestions. I'm looking forward to learn more about her voice!
Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 15 (as of 1/10/2021 ) years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html ) plus a new release this month April of '7 th Heaven" link: th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html
She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song.
she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background:
(Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkth-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing
1, Shield ,, th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
2. Oslo,, th-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/w-d-xo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway)
3. What Is Life,, .th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html
4. Above the water,, th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html
5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html
Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert.
When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
Thanks for your song suggestion and all of this background information. I'm also happy you liked the video!

I’m here for the ride!! You are in for a magical trip with Angelina’s voice and her way of making you feel!! Here’s the song that really started it all. When you see her mom wiping away tears, she said, and I’m paraphrasing, that that’s when she realized that she has lost Angelina to the world!! th-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this song suggestion!
