🌟 First of all, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tuned in to watch this reaction video! It's incredible to see the view count approaching 30,000 - thank you so much for checking it out. 🎤 We've noticed some less-than-happy comments about certain observations we made during the video, particularly about Angelina's performance on America's Got Talent. We want to clarify a few things. Our background is in rock music, and we don't typically follow reality TV or talent shows. This suggestion came from one of our viewers, and it pushed us out of our usual comfort zone. We're musicians who focus on music, musicianship, and arrangement, so vocal analysis isn't usually our forte. 📚 To those suggesting more research: We actually did some groundwork before diving into the reaction. We understand opinions vary on research for reaction videos, and given our tight schedule and the sheer volume of suggestions, we have to balance our time wisely. 👀 Regarding comments about nerves: We mentioned Angelina seeming nervous not as a criticism but as an observation. It's natural for anyone, especially a 13-year-old performing on TV, to feel nerves. It doesn't detract from her incredible talent. 🎶 As for the acapella beginning, our immediate reaction was based on what we saw on screen. It's part of the genuine, unfiltered nature of our reactions - we call it as we see it. 🤝 We appreciate those leaving warm comments and constructive suggestions. Your support means a lot, and we'll consider future content from Angelina if the community remains positive and supportive. 🙏 Thank you once again for all the love and support. We understand not everyone will agree with our reactions, but that's the nature of what we do. If you're here for raw, honest reactions to new music and performances, you're in the right place. Let's keep the dialogue open and respectful. Have a fantastic day!
I’m not sure what ‘giving her copyrights’ means, because anyone can cover a publicly released song as long as they pay royalties to the songwriters. The words and melody would still belong to Queen.
@@dojoswitzerAngelina was able to do more than cover it. She was able to put it on Spotify and make money on it. Her version is her version and not Queens. That's what signing over the rights to her version.
@@dojoswitzer THIS version, not very similar to the original, is now Angelina's, meaning she gets any money associated with performances of THIS version, which many people have done. 😎
The breathy intro was totally intentional. Angelina arranged this performance herself. At this point Angelina had performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people, no nerves here. Now you must climb through the rabbit hole and witness the other worldly phenomenon that is Angelina Jordan. You'll never be the same.
Hey, Gentlemen. Thank you for your reaction. At this point, she had already been performing on stage, in many concerts in several countries, before huge audiences, for several years. She did this arrangement herself, as she has been doing for several years, and has complete control over her voice. Everything she does is deliberate: choosing when to be breathy, when and how to use her vibrato (over which she has masterful control), when to belt, when and exactly how to use her runs and her vocal fry, etc. When she started off breathy, a capella, she was not "testing the waters" or trying to get comfortable. It was how she arranged the song. Also, because of the time limit in these competitons, she had to compress a huge song into a much smaller time frame, and she did it so masterfully that Queen was impressed enough to allow her to copyright her version.
Patrick, wonderfully explained! Yes, Angelina has complete control of how she sings, and the arrangement of the music. We are very lucky to hear and witness her genius.
I discovered Angelina 6 years ago & have been addicted to her music & have listened to her vast music catalog every day since then. She was the greatest "child" singer when she was 7-10 yo, but by late 10, she had lost any remnant of a child's voice by then & you can compare to adult singers without the addition of "for her age." By 14 she could stand with the best vocalists from the past & present. Now at 18 she is the GOAT, in my opinion. Up until now she has been heavily protected by her family & even her record label, in order to allow her to have as "normal" a childhood as possible & to allow her to finish her schooling. Now that that's done, they are cutting her loose to begin her full-time adult career. She just had her 1st Los Vegas Concerts last Feb at the Westgate International Theater where Elvis did over 600 shows during his residency. In 2-3 years she will be a household name around the World. I've never seen anyone like her in my lifetime (76 yrs) & it's the first time I've been more than just a casual fan of any individual or band. As others have said Queen was so impressed with this that they posted it on their website with the comment, "Wow, what a rendition." Later they commented "She absolutely killed it" & they gave her the copyright to this version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I liked this video & if you choose to do more reactions to her music, I will be subscribing to watch you journey. Great 1st reaction guys!
Angelina didn’t enter without music because of nerves, nothing is more difficult than starting that way. At 13, she was already a successful experienced singer on stage. You really want to be blown away check out her black and white version of I put A Spell On You at the age of 9!! Great review guys!
If nerves were ever a question with Angelina, she definitely would not have started out a cappella. Angelina has always been known for being fearless on stage as well as fearless in the choice of songs she performs. She takes on the biggest songs from the icons of many genres.
She was not nervous...she is used to the stage and performing in front of large audiences.Nora Jones concert in Seoul springs to mind. AJ arranged this. Queen loved it .
I don't think it was about the amount of people, she was nervous to perform for Simon, whom she admires so much as the creator of the Got Talent franchise.
@@103mrg - Did you even listen to her? Obviously not. She very clearly talks about how she feels about performing for Simon. Did you even Read my comment? I very clearly say it's not about the amount of people, I know she doesn't get nervous about that, so I never agreed with the reactors on that point. Final point: EVERYBODY has nerves. Or is she not human?
Angelina has stated that she does not get nervous on stage - she had already been performing professionally in front of audiences of all sizes since she was 8 years old by the time she performed on AGT,
Angelina Jordan is a vocal prodigy and a musical genius, welcome into her musical world. Next one Angelina at 9 yo in her beast mode with « I Put A Spell On You » brace yourself guys, you will be blown away.
Gentlemen, welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. She started "singing" in her crib at age 1,5 (FACT), discovered Jazz shortly after, and decided to train and practice her craft since age 3,5. At age 4 she started visiting the Music Academy of Oslo, for technical advice. After winning AGT, she got known for her unerring instinct for music. Even musicians of longstanding experiance did aske her for advise, or listened to her recommendations. In late summer of 2014 her people, the populace of Norway, declared her THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY. Did it go to her head??? NO. Even today she is well behaved, friendly and has a patience for others, she lack for herself. Be safe and sound. Elmar from Germany
Angelina always sings exactly how she intends, so no nerves! This is her own arrangement and the remaining members of Queen were so impressed they gave her the copyright to her own rendition. She has done over 200 covers all available on TH-cam, from the age of 1.5 to her current 18. She has written over 100 songs, to date only 12 have been published. She was signed to Republic Records at the age of 14 following this performance but was asked many times before following her victory on Norway’s got Talent, these were all declined because her family wanted her to have as normal as possible childhood. She has performed in many concerts all over the world. Angelina always leaves us wanting more!
The remaining original members of Queen watched this performance of Fredy’s song and they were so impressed with Angelina’s arrangement and performance that they took to Twitter to let Angelina know that she had their blessing to copy write her rendition and capitalize on it.
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever heard ❤ Queen themselves shared this performance on their socials, saying Wow, what a rendition ❤ That is a huuuge compliment 👍
@@frankk.8974 The AGT video (where the majority of views are concentrated) is ‘marketed’ now by someone else who either bought it or bootlegged it from the original post. It’s not even on her own channel.
@@dojoswitzer If you go to Angelina's video of BR on her official site (she's wearing a crown in front of one of Mery's very colorful painting), in the description box you'll see that Duetti has the phonographic rights (P within a circle). Having been granted the rights by Queen after her AGT performance, Angelina later sold them to the marketing company....(You first have to have ownership before you can sell your copyright!!)
If you guys continue to react to Angelina you will find yourselves falling into a very deep rabbit hole. Angelina,s life since winning Norske Talenter at 8 years of age has been documented on film, so much so that she may be the most filmed person on the planet. Angelina has been signed to the biggest recording company in the world Republic Records-UMG since the age of 14, but one of the conditions of that signing was that she not be promoted until she reached adulthood.Recently Republic built her a recoeding studio exclusivly for her. Thx for the reaction to this young superstar in the making.
This is AJ's own arrangement; she has been arranging covers and reinventing and resurrecting songs from the past ie: California Dreamin', Billie Jean and of course this song. She has well over 130 covers and approximately 10 originals. She just had her 1st big concert at the Westgate - Las Vegas.
Fellas...Fellas...Fellas....Seriously, "careful"....Boys, this young woman was a SEVEN year veteran performer at this point. She wasn't "careful" as a 6 year old.
I love that you check up on a new artist before reacting. This puts you in front of most other reactors! And you got almost everything right about Angelina Jordan - except that she’s rarely nervous performing live. What you heard with the breathy tone was intended and one of Angelinas trademarks.
Nice reaction, Offset. One of Angelina's many specialties is bringing old songs new life. Angelina stated in her Vegas concert that she liked doing covers and would continue to do them along with writing her own music.
Enjoyed your reaction guys, this girl is really something very special. Not only is she a world class vocalist, she is an amazing human being! Hope to see more Angelina on your channel.
Never nervous guys...never. She has grown up with a camera on her since a baby...Auditioned and won Norway Got Talent at age 7-8 in front of a live audience and millions on TV, been on countless TV shows, large charity events and Concerts before thousands and twice sang at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. Has performed before dignitaries, presidents, heads of State and mostly before she reached her teen years...she is an "old Pro" and total professional....this show is a walk in the park for her. She has said in interviews that when she is on stage, never wants to leave, it is her happy place....so Nervous? Not in the least bit. She is likely one of the best Jazz singers of this generation, her breathy vocals and various other jazz techniques are part of it...not being careful, she totally rearranged this (she does a lot of that) and made it fit the constricted time allowed here (genius) The remaining members of Queen posted this rendition on their official Twitter account with this, "Wow what a rendition", and gave her copyright to this version..... her reasons for being bare foot definitely not the same as Van Zandt either. Thanks guys.
One of Angelina's most viewed performances is I Put A Spell On You when she was 9 years old. Please check it out. You won't be sorry. It has over 11 million views.
I won’t argue that Angelina doesn’t practice; she listens to and sings music constantly; but Angelina posts a lot of TH-cam and TikTok videos showing her first ever attempts at covering many songs. As far as I have determined, she’s basically a savant who creates music subconsciously, often on-the-fly.
The people you see a few times are from right to left: grandma Mery Zamany, Mom Sara, little sister Juliette and moms brother, uncle Michael, her manager.
Angelina is never nervous on stage it's her home like she already said, at 13 years old she already 6 years of stage expérience and sang in front of many thousands of people, what she does with this song is a total reworking she removed the aspect of murder and rewrote the text to fit what she is as she does it often and slows down the tempo to be able to do what she wants with her voice.
You said you like singers re-envisioning songs. Angelina has the ability to take classic, iconic songs and, while respecting the original song and singer, give us something beautiful and uniquely Angelina. I’ve been listening to music since the 50’s. Angelina is easily the best singer I’ve ever heard-no qualifications. On that breathy opening-you just don’t know Angelina yet. It was an intentional lead in to capture our complete attention, and it mirrored the intimate ending of this abbreviated performance. What you heard today is just one small example of someone who can blow you away with so many different genres. For the most amazing music video you may ever see, try her cover of I Put a Spell on You. She’s 9, in the studio, with a terrific blues band behind her. Just stunning talent. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ktk65DvvOBr4LnT_
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend. now living in LA, Angelina Jordan (curent 18 Yeats old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe! All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody! (Translated by Google)
For everyone who doesn't know yet: Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrengement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (There are now over 15.5 million streams on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
You were wrong about her being nervous.she is totally at hime in front of that mic. Her breathyness gas nothing to do with being nervous. That"s her style. If you delve into her music, she will blow your mind. Try I put a spell on you when she was 9. The black and white version. She has been in front of a mic since she was 6.
She tour over the world since the age of 8, in US, UK, Europe, Middle East, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Brazil, etc. At 13, she is a seasoned singer with 5 years of international experience. So no nervous at all. 😂
Subscribed..Everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks for the reaction to the best female singer in the world nowadays…👍👏
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James,Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
In addition to about 200 covers - Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina performed an unreleased original song Princess of Ruins at her Las Vegas concerts - if and when that is officially released it will be her 13th original...
Looking forward to more! How about "Back to Black" with rewritten lyrics by a 10 yr old? Mom said "Not those lyrics!" and Angelina said, "No problem". Suspicious Minds, It's a Man's World, or her own 7th Heaven and recently Now I'm the Fool. Not one miss in her 200+ videos!
Enjoyed your reaction guys... You'll find yourselves amazed with this young lady's ability to emote and tear your heart out!! You mentioned Van Zandt and Steven heard Angelina when she had just won NGT... He invited her to play a role of a lounge singer (at 8yo) in the Netflix series, Lilyhammer, he was starring in at the time... Add that to the list of elites she has won the heart of!! She is "so so" Special and her Family the same!!! BTW, I just noticed that you have 5.3K views in the first 19 hours of this Angelina Masterpiece... Yeah, I think you should make a lot of room in your schedule for her and then watch your "subs" explode!!! TY for your time!!!
Each time I hear this incredible performance, I am up side down. Such a talent, it is insane, amazing, magical. And 4 years later she is even better, and she is 18... Lucky we are...
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of 🎷azz music and this is just a little bit of what she can do because every time you hear her you will get something different, enjoy 🗣🎙👑
13:15 yes , Fiona Apple with those amazing adult voice tones, humming.. vibratos..unforgettable with “across the universe ” , I’m going to listen to her after Angelina, this UNIQUE young artist 👑😍
Good reaction to a vocal tour-de-force who can't be categorized after just one song! 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 (170+ 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 Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (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. 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.
Angelina performed her originals Love Don’t Let Me Go, Million Miles, Now I’m the Fool, Diamond and Princess of Ruins and 15 other amazing songs for a total of 38 songs at her spectacular mesmerizing unforgettable performances at her Las Vegas concerts on Feb.29th. and please consider reacting to these concerts. Angelina has a treasure chest of masterpieces, but she must be experienced live to get the full effect of her greatness! The band was awesome and let Angelina's magical vocals wow everyone in the audience. There are 4k video and hi rez audio by Merrilee Gaines of some of Angelina Jordan’s performances from this concert including the must watch One Moment in Time, Unchained Melody, Diamond,, Love Don’t Let Me Go and her new anthem masterpiece Princess of Ruins which is about why she sings barefoot in every performance on stage. Another spectacular Angelina video of Unchained Melody with cameos by 9, 11 and 17 year old Angie and Elvis by the talented Joey Farr is a must see to be believed.. Other spectacular videos of this concert by James Thiel of some of Angelina's performances from this concert including One Moment in Time, Diamonds are Forever, Hero, When We Were Young, Mercy, Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down), Suspicious Minds, Bohemian Rhapsody and All I Ask also BigAngieFan has 4k Princess of Ruins, Moon River, Stay, My Funny Valentine, Unchained Melody, Million Miles, Feeling Good and Diamond! Also consider reacting to her recent documentary Angelina Jordan, 10 Years in the Making that is 16 minutes long, and also has some behind the scenes footage from her historic Las Vegas concerts.
Thanks for your first reaction to my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan Astar. Everyone has their favorite singers, but for me, Angelina has the most soulful voice which has a positive physical affect on me, like it is hugging my soul. She is easily my favorite singer storyteller, making me feel like I am part of the story. Angelina has said she has written more than 100 songs by her 18th birthday, and we have been blessed by 13 to date. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Angelina performed 2 concerts in Las Vegas on the 29th Feb 2024,same venue Elvis had his residency, she was 18 years old she also released a 6 original song EP when she was 17 years old, all of the songs are fabulous
Angelina can sing anything! Now at 18 she’s already had her alas Vegas premier on the same stage Elvis perform on. She has also sang for the Nobel Peace Prize twice and many many other top venues. Check her at 9 years old singing I Put A Spell On You. Have fun and I’ll be checking for more Angelina reactions from you.
Angelina's Angels are going to storm your comments section for sure! GREAT REACTION! Suggestions: Next do "I Put A Spell on You" from when she was 9. Then Summertime, her last performance to win Norway's Got Talent that won her the competition at age 8. Feelin' Good on live TV when she was 10. Then her cover of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" at 17. Thanks for the fun.
Think about it she had time restraints & singing it age appropriately. Every cover she does is well thought out. She writes every version. Check out how she chose to do her 9 yr old version of I put a spell on you 12:05 as a tribute to Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. (Black & white version). She wrote a sax solo in part of the song. I think the studio band went into shock when a nine year old child showed up to sing this song.
Its a very deep rabbit hole but its full of wonder. She has more than 250 videos of covers and originals and every one is arranged by her and is generally an improvement. AJ fans like to say that angelina doesnt cover songs, she uncovers them, reveals their true essence. As good as a singer she is she is an even better human being as you read and very modest. If dimash is king of male vocalists, angelina is queen of all female vocalists.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" If you decide to join all of us around the world on her musical journey so much of what you're speculating about will bring a whole new vision of who she is and a soulful tone combined with a jazzy influence will touch you in a way perhaps you've never been touched before. Did you guys feel a stirring around of sorts going on inside you during the performance? Did you get goosebumps, start to hold back tears and find it difficult to speak normally right after she performed, well, there's a lot more of that to come. Not only does she have a once-in-a-forever voice but her artistry at such a young age has mystified everyone in the industry (she did the arrangement for what you just heard) and when you find out more of what a wonderful human being she is, kind, caring and loving the experience of knowing her is something very special. I'm so happy for you that you have discovered her. She is now 18 and the wraps which have been on her since she was 7 have been loosened and she is ready to begin her first world tour. Her fan base (her angels) will be sending you all kinds of data (playlists and bio's) about her and I know some of the comments will be lengthy but you will get a good feel of what she means to so many people. Thanks, guys! I just subscribed.
If you had heard more of Angelina before, you wouldn't have heard the initial breathiness as nervousness...Its Angela. It's a choice. Yes, even when she's 13. Listen to her when she's 9 singing I Put a Spell on You, you will have no doubt. On shows like this, you should listen to the reactions from the hosts. If you listen to Angelina's Norway's got Talent performances you will be missing EVERYTHING if you miss the judges.
Age 13! Impressive. Angelina sings with emotions. This was recorded live in the fall of 2019 when she was 13. It aired before she turned 14 on Jan 10th 2020. Excellent reaction guys. Give us more.

I hope you continue the tremendous rabbit hole and her catalog of her music that has enthralled and made her fans the way they are over the years. Keep posting my friends and thank you so much. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Yes. Please do more from Angelina. Suggest her covers of "I Put A Spell On You" at age 9 and Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" at age 16. A couple originals from last years EP, "Love Don't Let Me Go" and "Now I'm the Fool".
Boy were you mistaken when you said she was probably nervous at the beginning. Angelina has been singing in front of thousands since she was seven and was holding a mic at one and a half. She arranges the music herself pouring in loads of emotion. I think she sang it the way Freddie was really feeling inside at the time.
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 11 songs from age 7 to 17 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2023): th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html 1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral. 2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on TH-cam, and many more on Facebook. 3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here. 4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier. 5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording. 6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family. 7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!" 8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records. 9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did. 10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was. 11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her recently released EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs. If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough": th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html She cites Billie Holiday as her biggest influence. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, and Sam Smith
Her, Dimash, and So Hyang are THE next level of all time "extra special" talents ever..keep going with them + So Hyang - Bridge Over Troubled Water, as an intro!
Angelina, a 13 year old Norwegian girl in her element! She rearranged Queen’s iconic song and just kills it. Remaining members of Queen praised her rendition and allowed her to copyright it. Just think she starts out a cappella and slides in at perfect pitch, just an amazing young lady! You have to remember she has about 2 minutes to perform for the show! She has been singing since 18 months old and there is video to back that up!she started listening to the Jazz greats when she was 2 years old and her base is Jazz but can sing any genre! Would highly recommend going back to her Norway’s Got Talent all four songs. Then look at her at 10 years old performing Feeling Good-in door version. Her 2022 studio versions of Suspicious Minds. See her 2022 Norway Concert’s 🇳🇴🎶🎼🇺🇸! Actually Angelina is known for her lower register. AGT The Champions. She was invited because she had already won Norways Got Talent. Full Golden Buzzer Moment th-cam.com/video/3QLhZ5N8-F4/w-d-xo.html She had her first Las Vegas concert on February 29, 2024! Just 18 years old! See Angelina’s 11 December 2023, Nobel Peace Prize Performance for Narges Mohammadi performing Unchained Melody, age 17: th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zEZlVlwjuu8shxEn
She sang age appropriately with time constraints. Go back & listen to her 9 yr old version of Screamin’Jay Hawkins I put a spell on you. ( black & white) She wrote this arrangement for the studio band.
Well, starting with having the ability to sing without music in background is known as a capella, a whispery voice is known as breathy voice and being able to reinvent a mega song is the sign of genius 😮 ❤
Guys, this performance was the start of my journey following Angelina Jordans career from 7 years old to now, she is 18 years old. Angelina catalog of covers and original songs written by her, numbers over 100 and counting. She was introduce to Jazz by her Grandmother and the English language ( Norwegian spoken in Norway), at a very young age. Angelina signed with Republic Records went she was 14 years old. Her first American album "Old Enough", was release this year. "Warning," once you fall into the Angelina Jordan's "Rabbit Hole" there isn't any way out, enjoy her music!
Angelina performed her first headline concert in Las Vegas on Feb 29th, 2024 - I was there and she was amazing - if you want to react to some of her Las Vegas performances - please use videos made by James Thiel and BigAngie Fan as they have the best video and audio quality.
🌟 First of all, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tuned in to watch this reaction video! It's incredible to see the view count approaching 30,000 - thank you so much for checking it out.
🎤 We've noticed some less-than-happy comments about certain observations we made during the video, particularly about Angelina's performance on America's Got Talent. We want to clarify a few things. Our background is in rock music, and we don't typically follow reality TV or talent shows. This suggestion came from one of our viewers, and it pushed us out of our usual comfort zone. We're musicians who focus on music, musicianship, and arrangement, so vocal analysis isn't usually our forte.
📚 To those suggesting more research: We actually did some groundwork before diving into the reaction. We understand opinions vary on research for reaction videos, and given our tight schedule and the sheer volume of suggestions, we have to balance our time wisely.
👀 Regarding comments about nerves: We mentioned Angelina seeming nervous not as a criticism but as an observation. It's natural for anyone, especially a 13-year-old performing on TV, to feel nerves. It doesn't detract from her incredible talent.
🎶 As for the acapella beginning, our immediate reaction was based on what we saw on screen. It's part of the genuine, unfiltered nature of our reactions - we call it as we see it.
🤝 We appreciate those leaving warm comments and constructive suggestions. Your support means a lot, and we'll consider future content from Angelina if the community remains positive and supportive.
🙏 Thank you once again for all the love and support. We understand not everyone will agree with our reactions, but that's the nature of what we do. If you're here for raw, honest reactions to new music and performances, you're in the right place. Let's keep the dialogue open and respectful. Have a fantastic day!
No worries about passionate Angels who will protect AJ at all cost and see no fault in her performances.
We appreciate your honest reactions!

The surviving members of Queen were so impressed with this version that they gave her the copyrights to it. 😎
I’m not sure what ‘giving her copyrights’ means, because anyone can cover a publicly released song as long as they pay royalties to the songwriters. The words and melody would still belong to Queen.
@@dojoswitzerAngelina was able to do more than cover it. She was able to put it on Spotify and make money on it. Her version is her version and not Queens. That's what signing over the rights to her version.
@@dojoswitzer it means she owns her version , not queen
@@dojoswitzer THIS version, not very similar to the original, is now Angelina's, meaning she gets any money associated with performances of THIS version, which many people have done. 😎
This was a world class performance by her ,she reinvented this song and fitted it into the time frame she was allowed
The breathy intro was totally intentional. Angelina arranged this performance herself. At this point Angelina had performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people, no nerves here.
Now you must climb through the rabbit hole and witness the other worldly phenomenon that is Angelina Jordan. You'll never be the same.
I have NEVER seen anyone more comfortable in front of an audience than Angelina.
Because, as performing is play for her, people are most comfy when doing what they like.
At age 11 she sang in Seoul for a fundraiser with Nora Jones. She sang in front of more than 40,000 people.
This is Angelina's own arrengement . Queen gave her the copyrights to this version.
Hey, Gentlemen. Thank you for your reaction. At this point, she had already been performing on stage, in many concerts in several countries, before huge audiences, for several years. She did this arrangement herself, as she has been doing for several years, and has complete control over her voice. Everything she does is deliberate: choosing when to be breathy, when and how to use her vibrato (over which she has masterful control), when to belt, when and exactly how to use her runs and her vocal fry, etc. When she started off breathy, a capella, she was not "testing the waters" or trying to get comfortable. It was how she arranged the song. Also, because of the time limit in these competitons, she had to compress a huge song into a much smaller time frame, and she did it so masterfully that Queen was impressed enough to allow her to copyright her version.
Patrick, wonderfully explained! Yes, Angelina has complete control of how she sings, and the arrangement of the music. We are very lucky to hear and witness her genius.
Angelina is the current reigning queen of the jazz genre.
I wouldn't say that, and I am an Angelina fan from 2014. Samara Joy certainly owns the title, but again, I love Angelina and her versatility.
I discovered Angelina 6 years ago & have been addicted to her music & have listened to her vast music catalog every day since then. She was the greatest "child" singer when she was 7-10 yo, but by late 10, she had lost any remnant of a child's voice by then & you can compare to adult singers without the addition of "for her age." By 14 she could stand with the best vocalists from the past & present. Now at 18 she is the GOAT, in my opinion. Up until now she has been heavily protected by her family & even her record label, in order to allow her to have as "normal" a childhood as possible & to allow her to finish her schooling. Now that that's done, they are cutting her loose to begin her full-time adult career. She just had her 1st Los Vegas Concerts last Feb at the Westgate International Theater where Elvis did over 600 shows during his residency. In 2-3 years she will be a household name around the World. I've never seen anyone like her in my lifetime (76 yrs) & it's the first time I've been more than just a casual fan of any individual or band. As others have said Queen was so impressed with this that they posted it on their website with the comment, "Wow, what a rendition." Later they commented "She absolutely killed it" & they gave her the copyright to this version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I liked this video & if you choose to do more reactions to her music, I will be subscribing to watch you journey. Great 1st reaction guys!
Angelina didn’t enter without music because of nerves, nothing is more difficult than starting that way. At 13, she was already a successful experienced singer on stage. You really want to be blown away check out her black and white version of I put A Spell On You at the age of 9!! Great review guys!
Angelina has stated that she is the happiest when in front of a live crowd and never nervous.
If nerves were ever a question with Angelina, she definitely would not have started out a cappella. Angelina has always been known for being fearless on stage as well as fearless in the choice of songs she performs. She takes on the biggest songs from the icons of many genres.
Singing a capella in that situation is extremely difficult and can not be pulled off nervous...
"Breathy" is a tool in Angelina's toolbox, always used as and when she wants.
The remaining band members of Queen were so impressed with her, that they gave her the rights to the song.
Please react to more of this amazing artist. She doesn't just cover a song, she uncovers them.
A PERFECT description!! Very clever, and on the nose!! 👌
She was not nervous...she is used to the stage and performing in front of large audiences.Nora Jones concert in Seoul springs to mind. AJ arranged this. Queen loved it .
Korea was 40k people. The AGT audience was in the millions.
@@103mrg great.....like those who sweat the details
I don't think it was about the amount of people, she was nervous to perform for Simon, whom she admires so much as the creator of the Got Talent franchise.
@@Robsan40 You and both the reacters know very little about Angelina. She doesn't do nerves. Ever.
@@103mrg - Did you even listen to her? Obviously not. She very clearly talks about how she feels about performing for Simon.
Did you even Read my comment? I very clearly say it's not about the amount of people, I know she doesn't get nervous about that, so I never agreed with the reactors on that point.
Final point: EVERYBODY has nerves. Or is she not human?
Angelina has stated that she does not get nervous on stage - she had already been performing professionally in front of audiences of all sizes since she was 8 years old by the time she performed on AGT,
Angelina Jordan is a vocal prodigy and a musical genius, welcome into her musical world. Next one Angelina at 9 yo in her beast mode with « I Put A Spell On You » brace yourself guys, you will be blown away.
Gentlemen, welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. She started "singing" in her crib at age 1,5 (FACT), discovered Jazz shortly after, and decided to train and practice her craft since age 3,5. At age 4 she started visiting the Music Academy of Oslo, for technical advice. After winning AGT, she got known for her unerring instinct for music. Even musicians of longstanding experiance did aske her for advise, or listened to her recommendations. In late summer of 2014 her people, the populace of Norway, declared her THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY. Did it go to her head??? NO.
Even today she is well behaved, friendly and has a patience for others, she lack for herself.
Be safe and sound.
Elmar from Germany
she won Norway got talent, not AGT
@@Nick-yj4jk This is correct, sir. Luckily for her she found a much better deal. Be blessed. Elmar fG
Angelina always sings exactly how she intends, so no nerves! This is her own arrangement and the remaining members of Queen were so impressed they gave her the copyright to her own rendition. She has done over 200 covers all available on TH-cam, from the age of 1.5 to her current 18. She has written over 100 songs, to date only 12 have been published. She was signed to Republic Records at the age of 14 following this performance but was asked many times before following her victory on Norway’s got Talent, these were all declined because her family wanted her to have as normal as possible childhood. She has performed in many concerts all over the world. Angelina always leaves us wanting more!
The remaining original members of Queen watched this performance of Fredy’s song and they were so impressed with Angelina’s arrangement and performance that they took to Twitter to let Angelina know that she had their blessing to copy write her rendition and capitalize on it.
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever heard ❤ Queen themselves shared this performance on their socials, saying Wow, what a rendition ❤ That is a huuuge compliment 👍
The remaining members of Queen we so impressed they gave her the rights to her arrangement.
I know Queen praised the performance via Twitter, but I have never found any indication about the copyright.
@@dojoswitzer Didn't find anything? Well then keep looking...and oops, who is marketing their version now (not the AGT video!)?😪
@@frankk.8974 The AGT video (where the majority of views are concentrated) is ‘marketed’ now by someone else who either bought it or bootlegged it from the original post. It’s not even on her own channel.
@@frankk.8974 Thanks for clarifying that you too don’t know where to find any explanation about the copyright.
@@dojoswitzer If you go to Angelina's video of BR on her official site (she's wearing a crown in front of one of Mery's very colorful painting), in the description box you'll see that Duetti has the phonographic rights (P within a circle). Having been granted the rights by Queen after her AGT performance, Angelina later sold them to the marketing company....(You first have to have ownership before you can sell your copyright!!)
If you guys continue to react to Angelina you will find yourselves falling into a very deep rabbit hole. Angelina,s life since winning Norske Talenter at 8 years of age has been documented on film, so much so that she may be the most filmed person on the planet. Angelina has been signed to the biggest recording company in the world Republic Records-UMG since the age of 14, but one of the conditions of that signing was that she not be promoted until she reached adulthood.Recently Republic built her a recoeding studio exclusivly for her. Thx for the reaction to this young superstar in the making.
Angelina has been signed with Republic Records since she was 14 years old.
This is AJ's own arrangement; she has been arranging covers and reinventing and resurrecting songs from the past ie: California Dreamin', Billie Jean and of course this song. She has well over 130 covers and approximately 10 originals. She just had her 1st big concert at the Westgate - Las Vegas.
Fellas...Fellas...Fellas....Seriously, "careful"....Boys, this young woman was a SEVEN year veteran performer at this point. She wasn't "careful" as a 6 year old.
Amen
I love that you check up on a new artist before reacting. This puts you in front of most other reactors! And you got almost everything right about Angelina Jordan - except that she’s rarely nervous performing live. What you heard with the breathy tone was intended and one of Angelinas trademarks.
And it was a capella!
Queen was so impressed they gave her permission to use her version at anytime.
Nice reaction, Offset. One of Angelina's many specialties is bringing old songs new life. Angelina stated in her Vegas concert that she liked doing covers and would continue to do them along with writing her own music.
Enjoyed your reaction guys, this girl is really something very special. Not only is she a world class vocalist, she is an amazing human being! Hope to see more Angelina on your channel.
Never nervous guys...never. She has grown up with a camera on her since a baby...Auditioned and won Norway Got Talent at age 7-8 in front of a live audience and millions on TV, been on countless TV shows, large charity events and Concerts before thousands and twice sang at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. Has performed before dignitaries, presidents, heads of State and mostly before she reached her teen years...she is an "old Pro" and total professional....this show is a walk in the park for her. She has said in interviews that when she is on stage, never wants to leave, it is her happy place....so Nervous? Not in the least bit. She is likely one of the best Jazz singers of this generation, her breathy vocals and various other jazz techniques are part of it...not being careful, she totally rearranged this (she does a lot of that) and made it fit the constricted time allowed here (genius) The remaining members of Queen posted this rendition on their official Twitter account with this, "Wow what a rendition", and gave her copyright to this version..... her reasons for being bare foot definitely not the same as Van Zandt either. Thanks guys.
She does her own arrangements and always has. Her originals are very jazzy.
One of Angelina's most viewed performances is I Put A Spell On You when she was 9 years old. Please check it out. You won't be sorry. It has over 11 million views.
I won’t argue that Angelina doesn’t practice; she listens to and sings music constantly; but Angelina posts a lot of TH-cam and TikTok videos showing her first ever attempts at covering many songs. As far as I have determined, she’s basically a savant who creates music subconsciously, often on-the-fly.
Not nervous at all, she's done this for years! lol
The people you see a few times are from right to left: grandma Mery Zamany, Mom Sara, little sister Juliette and moms brother, uncle Michael, her manager.
Great reaction OSE. Yes, more Angelina, please! I’m in for the journey.
Angelina is never nervous on stage it's her home like she already said, at 13 years old she already 6 years of stage expérience and sang in front of many thousands of people, what she does with this song is a total reworking she removed the aspect of murder and rewrote the text to fit what she is as she does it often and slows down the tempo to be able to do what she wants with her voice.
Exactly! Sometimes people think she's nervous but she never was....never!
You said you like singers re-envisioning songs. Angelina has the ability to take classic, iconic songs and, while respecting the original song and singer, give us something beautiful and uniquely Angelina. I’ve been listening to music since the 50’s. Angelina is easily the best singer I’ve ever heard-no qualifications.
On that breathy opening-you just don’t know Angelina yet. It was an intentional lead in to capture our complete attention, and it mirrored the intimate ending of this abbreviated performance. What you heard today is just one small example of someone who can blow you away with so many different genres. For the most amazing music video you may ever see, try her cover of I Put a Spell on You. She’s 9, in the studio, with a terrific blues band behind her. Just stunning talent. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ktk65DvvOBr4LnT_
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend. now living in LA, Angelina Jordan (curent 18 Yeats old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe!
All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody!

For everyone who doesn't know yet:
Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrengement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (There are now over 15.5 million streams on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
Angelina Jordan the genius and prodigy. 1 million percent one of the best singers ever. Angelina is 4 days shy of 14 in this video.
charles The broadcast date of this video was Jan.6/2020. The recording date of it was in Oct./2019.
The show was aired in January 2020, BUT recorded in November and December 2019 while her beloved Japanese grandpa was in hospital terminally ill.
The show was recorded between Oct 3rd and Oct 21st 2019.
@@most2dot0 As always many thanks to you.
You were wrong about her being nervous.she is totally at hime in front of that mic. Her breathyness gas nothing to do with being nervous. That"s her style. If you delve into her music, she will blow your mind. Try I put a spell on you when she was 9. The black and white version. She has been in front of a mic since she was 6.
She tour over the world since the age of 8, in US, UK, Europe, Middle East, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Brazil, etc. At 13, she is a seasoned singer with 5 years of international experience.
So no nervous at all. 😂
Subscribed..Everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks for the reaction to the best female singer in the world nowadays…👍👏
Angelina is one of the greatest of all time. Enjoy this young lady, and enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you👍👍
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James,Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
She is 13. She sings breathy normally. It is jazz, blues with a touch of pop I have been told. She is not ever nervous.
Queen posted her performance on their socials sayin " Wow, what a rendition of bohemian"
She was 13 when she sang this. She knows 4 languages and can play 4 different instruments.
This is Angelina’s arrangement.
In addition to about 200 covers - Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina performed an unreleased original song Princess of Ruins at her Las Vegas concerts - if and when that is officially released it will be her 13th original...
I've watched Angelina Jordan do this so many times. Just love it. Something extraordinarily charismatic about her performances.
Looking forward to more! How about "Back to Black" with rewritten lyrics by a 10 yr old? Mom said "Not those lyrics!" and Angelina said, "No problem". Suspicious Minds, It's a Man's World, or her own 7th Heaven and recently Now I'm the Fool. Not one miss in her 200+ videos!
Boys Angelina has been performing for years she is never nervous she has a unique take on songs and is superb xx
Enjoyed your reaction guys... You'll find yourselves amazed with this young lady's ability to emote and tear your heart out!! You mentioned Van Zandt and Steven heard Angelina when she had just won NGT... He invited her to play a role of a lounge singer (at 8yo) in the Netflix series, Lilyhammer, he was starring in at the time... Add that to the list of elites she has won the heart of!! She is "so so" Special and her Family the same!!!
BTW, I just noticed that you have 5.3K views in the first 19 hours of this Angelina Masterpiece... Yeah, I think you should make a lot of room in your schedule for her and then watch your "subs" explode!!! TY for your time!!!
Each time I hear this incredible performance, I am up side down.
Such a talent, it is insane, amazing, magical.
And 4 years later she is even better, and she is 18...
Lucky we are...
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of 🎷azz music and this is just a little bit of what she can do because every time you hear her you will get something different, enjoy 🗣🎙👑
13:15 yes , Fiona Apple with those amazing adult voice tones, humming.. vibratos..unforgettable with “across the universe ” , I’m going to listen to her after Angelina, this UNIQUE young artist 👑😍
✒️well done...for you and for the stellar Angelina...😉👍👌
Welcome to the new golden age of music. Angelina the new princess of this age.
You react to my favorite band, The warning and now you react to my favorite singer Angelina Jordan Astar. Thanks!
Good reaction to a vocal tour-de-force who can't be categorized after just one song! 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 (170+ 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 Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (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.
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.
I don’t think she was nervous. I think she was determined to win in this competition. Love her!
Angelina performed her originals Love Don’t Let Me Go, Million Miles, Now I’m the Fool, Diamond and Princess of Ruins and 15 other amazing songs for a total of 38 songs at her spectacular mesmerizing unforgettable performances at her Las Vegas concerts on Feb.29th. and please consider reacting to these concerts.
Angelina has a treasure chest of masterpieces, but she must be experienced live to get the full effect of her greatness!
The band was awesome and let Angelina's magical vocals wow everyone in the audience.
There are 4k video and hi rez audio by Merrilee Gaines of some of Angelina Jordan’s performances from this concert including the must watch One Moment in Time, Unchained Melody, Diamond,, Love Don’t Let Me Go and her new anthem masterpiece Princess of Ruins which is about why she sings barefoot in every performance on stage.
Another spectacular Angelina video of Unchained Melody with cameos by 9, 11 and 17 year old Angie and Elvis by the talented Joey Farr is a must see to be believed..
Other spectacular videos of this concert by James Thiel of some of Angelina's performances from this concert including One Moment in Time, Diamonds are Forever, Hero, When We Were Young, Mercy, Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down), Suspicious Minds, Bohemian Rhapsody and All I Ask also BigAngieFan has 4k Princess of Ruins, Moon River, Stay, My Funny Valentine, Unchained Melody, Million Miles, Feeling Good and Diamond!
Also consider reacting to her recent documentary Angelina Jordan, 10 Years in the Making that is 16 minutes long, and also has some behind the scenes footage from her historic Las Vegas concerts.
The breathiness is intentional.
Subscribed for Angelina!
Thanks for your first reaction to my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan Astar. Everyone has their favorite singers, but for me, Angelina has the most soulful voice which has a positive physical affect on me, like it is hugging my soul. She is easily my favorite singer storyteller, making me feel like I am part of the story. Angelina has said she has written more than 100 songs by her 18th birthday, and we have been blessed by 13 to date.
"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
"Oslo" age 11
"Shield" age 12
"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17
"Fire and Rain" age 17
"It's All My Fault" age 17
"Good in Goodbyes" age 17
"Diamond" age 17
"Our Time" age 17
"Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24
Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Saying that Angelina was nervous shows just how little you know about her. She has always had nerves of steel, even as a little girl.
Angelina performed 2 concerts in Las Vegas on the 29th Feb 2024,same venue Elvis had his residency, she was 18 years old she also released a 6 original song EP when she was 17 years old, all of the songs are fabulous
Angelina can sing anything! Now at 18 she’s already had her alas Vegas premier on the same stage Elvis perform on. She has also sang for the Nobel Peace Prize twice and many many other top venues. Check her at 9 years old singing I Put A Spell On You. Have fun and I’ll be checking for more Angelina reactions from you.
QUEEN GAVE HER THE RIGHTS TO THIS VERSION.
Angelina's Angels are going to storm your comments section for sure! GREAT REACTION! Suggestions: Next do "I Put A Spell on You" from when she was 9. Then
Summertime, her last performance to win Norway's Got Talent that won her the competition at age 8. Feelin' Good on live TV when she was 10. Then her cover of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" at 17. Thanks for the fun.
Merci pour votre réaction, c'est le moment d'entrer dans le monde d'Angelina que nous aimons tant depuis des années, Alain (From 🇨🇵)
One singer-reactor responded after watching an Angelina music video, “It’s not fair. It’s not fair to anyone who sings.”
Think about it she had time restraints & singing it age appropriately. Every cover she does is well thought out. She writes every version. Check out how she chose to do her 9 yr old version of I put a spell on you 12:05 as a tribute to Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. (Black & white version). She wrote a sax solo in part of the song. I think the studio band went into shock when a nine year old child showed up to sing this song.
Its a very deep rabbit hole but its full of wonder. She has more than 250 videos of covers and originals and every one is arranged by her and is generally an improvement. AJ fans like to say that angelina doesnt cover songs, she uncovers them, reveals their true essence. As good as a singer she is she is an even better human being as you read and very modest. If dimash is king of male vocalists, angelina is queen of all female vocalists.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" If you decide to join all of us around the world on her musical journey so much of what you're speculating about will bring a whole new vision of who she is and a soulful tone combined with a jazzy influence will touch you in a way perhaps you've never been touched before. Did you guys feel a stirring around of sorts going on inside you during the performance? Did you get goosebumps, start to hold back tears and find it difficult to speak normally right after she performed, well, there's a lot more of that to come. Not only does she have a once-in-a-forever voice but her artistry at such a young age has mystified everyone in the industry (she did the arrangement for what you just heard) and when you find out more of what a wonderful human being she is, kind, caring and loving the experience of knowing her is something very special. I'm so happy for you that you have discovered her. She is now 18 and the wraps which have been on her since she was 7 have been loosened and she is ready to begin her first world tour. Her fan base (her angels) will be sending you all kinds of data (playlists and bio's) about her and I know some of the comments will be lengthy but you will get a good feel of what she means to so many people. Thanks, guys! I just subscribed.
If you had heard more of Angelina before, you wouldn't have heard the initial breathiness as nervousness...Its Angela. It's a choice. Yes, even when she's 13. Listen to her when she's 9 singing I Put a Spell on You, you will have no doubt.
On shows like this, you should listen to the reactions from the hosts.
If you listen to Angelina's Norway's got Talent performances you will be missing EVERYTHING if you miss the judges.
Actually Angelina was 13 years old with this performance!
Age 13! Impressive. Angelina sings with emotions. This was recorded live in the fall of 2019 when she was 13. It aired before she turned 14 on Jan 10th 2020. Excellent reaction guys. Give us more.
You guys look as stunned as i did the first time saw this!
She is insanely gifted!
Welcome gentlemen ! Only 250 covers and originals to go ! Angelina Jordan is a seasoned veteran with 10 years of performing live on stage ! She is known as the barefoot princess, Queen of jazz and the girl with a thousand voices ! She is a child prodigy and musical genius and picked up a mic and started singing at the age of one and a half ! She recorded in the studio at the age of six with a mind blowing rendition of Ben E .King's "I Have Nothing" ! Angelina has jazz infused in her DNA through her grandmother Mery who introduced her to jazz at a very early age ! Her mentors are Billie Holiday , Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra with modern mentors like Whitney Houston, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Nora Jones and the great Elvis Presley ! Angelina is able to rearrange covers and transition them thoroughly into her own composition while staying true to the original ! Angelina has a huge loyal fan base known as Angels who support her religiously ! Her family have always been very protective and when she signed with Republic Rexords a couple years ago, she was their most young coveted artist to date. They are so enthralled with Angelina. They built her a studio to develop her musical talent and composition as she is currently doing now. I would invite you to listen to her most mind-blowing video ever that went viral when she was 9 years old of Screaming Jay Hawkins. " I Put a Spell on You, " the black and white studio edition. It is absolutely a jazz masterpiece for a 9-year-old !!! . Guys. I want to thank you so much for getting on to Angelina Jordan. I hope you continue the tremendous rabbit hole and her catalog of her music that has enthralled and made her fans the way they are over the years. Keep posting my friends and thank you so much. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Hard to believe it's been FOUR YEARS since AGT The Champions with Angelina. It seems like yesterday.
Yes. Please do more from Angelina.
Suggest her covers of "I Put A Spell On You" at age 9 and Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" at age 16.
A couple originals from last years EP, "Love Don't Let Me Go" and "Now I'm the Fool".
Boy were you mistaken when you said she was probably nervous at the beginning. Angelina has been singing in front of thousands since she was seven and was holding a mic at one and a half. She arranges the music herself pouring in loads of emotion. I think she sang it the way Freddie was really feeling inside at the time.
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 11 songs from age 7 to 17 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2023): th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html
1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral.
2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on TH-cam, and many more on Facebook.
3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here.
4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier.
5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording.
6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family.
7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!"
8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records.
9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did.
10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was.
11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her recently released EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs.
If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough": th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
She cites Billie Holiday as her biggest influence. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, and Sam Smith
Her, Dimash, and So Hyang are THE next level of all time "extra special" talents ever..keep going with them + So Hyang - Bridge Over Troubled Water, as an intro!
Welcome to the Journey boyz
Angelina, a 13 year old Norwegian girl in her element! She rearranged Queen’s iconic song and just kills it. Remaining members of Queen praised her rendition and allowed her to copyright it. Just think she starts out a cappella and slides in at perfect pitch, just an amazing young lady! You have to remember she has about 2 minutes to perform for the show! She has been singing since 18 months old and there is video to back that up!she started listening to the Jazz greats when she was 2 years old and her base is Jazz but can sing any genre! Would highly recommend going back to her Norway’s Got Talent all four songs. Then look at her at 10 years old performing Feeling Good-in door version. Her 2022 studio versions of Suspicious Minds. See her 2022 Norway Concert’s 🇳🇴🎶🎼🇺🇸! Actually Angelina is known for her lower register. AGT The Champions. She was invited because she had already won Norways Got Talent. Full Golden Buzzer Moment th-cam.com/video/3QLhZ5N8-F4/w-d-xo.html
She had her first Las Vegas concert on February 29, 2024! Just 18 years old!
See Angelina’s 11 December 2023, Nobel Peace Prize Performance for Narges Mohammadi performing Unchained Melody, age 17: th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zEZlVlwjuu8shxEn
She sang age appropriately with time constraints. Go back & listen to her 9 yr old version of Screamin’Jay Hawkins I put a spell on you. ( black & white) She wrote this arrangement for the studio band.
You have to see her sing I Put A Spell On You at age 11 and Suspicious Minds recently
Well, starting with having the ability to sing without music in background is known as a capella, a whispery voice is known as breathy voice and being able to reinvent a mega song is the sign of genius 😮 ❤
t\Thanks guys .. have fun today with all the reviews. BTW Queen gave Angelina her own Copywrite for this version!
Where did you learn about the copyright? I would love to find it.
@@dojoswitzerShe has this single out on here web page, IT has her copywrite on it (Which Queen approved)
Guys, this performance was the start of my journey following Angelina Jordans career from 7 years old to now, she is 18 years old. Angelina catalog of covers and original songs written by her, numbers over 100 and counting. She was introduce to Jazz by her Grandmother and the English language ( Norwegian spoken in Norway), at a very young age. Angelina signed with Republic Records went she was 14 years old. Her first American album "Old Enough", was release this year. "Warning," once you fall into the Angelina Jordan's "Rabbit Hole" there isn't any way out, enjoy her music!
How thrilling actually for Queen!
Angelina performed her first headline concert in Las Vegas on Feb 29th, 2024 - I was there and she was amazing - if you want to react to some of her Las Vegas performances - please use videos made by James Thiel and BigAngie Fan as they have the best video and audio quality.
