When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹Loved your reaction❗ 1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records. 3. AJ began singing at 18 months. Her grandmother was a jazz/blues fan and played that genre of music for AJ. She fell in love with it very early on and has even arranged most if not all that she sings from age 8. What an incredible talent. 4. In 2020 she was in her mid-teenage years, stood 6 foot tall and to this day she still performs barefoot. The backstory of her encounter with the homeless girl she met while she traveled with her family through Iran at age 6 includes the weather damaged bare feet of the child she gave her own shoes to. 5. The reason she performs barefoot is to bring awareness to her public of the children worldwide who can't afford shoes of their own. She has raised millions of dollars for clothing including shoes for those unfortunate children. 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother, now deceased). 7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 8. BTW I'm 81yo and have been involved privately in music since my age of 7. 9. Here's AJ, probably 10 or 11 years old, singing an old Cole Porter classic. "Every Time We Say Goodbye" th-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/w-d-xo.html
This is a masterpiece from an Angel 😇 Angelina the best female singer vocalist artist for me in this new time and generation.She is so unique humble emotional humanity personality empathic!and her voice rasp old soul emotion feeling timing and power is out of this world 🌎 She will be the best in 5 years she is the best sure!!! I lover ❤so much We Angels 😇 love❤Angelina all so much!She is the best female young singer artist and vocalist in our time and generation.Great reaction Man 👍👌Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭❤️✌️🙏🌎😇👍🇨🇭👋🏻🙋♂️Roger over and out.😊
Angelina sends "shivers down my spine" every time I watch this. Since Angelina is dropping her single in late April with Republic Records, I wonder if she will perform live as a guest artist on the Voice in May. Maybe wishful thinking.
Pavlov's Dogs Angelina is a beautiful young woman with an ability to reach into the innermost depths of your mind on a level with what is known as a "shaman". AJ makes one feel her words and sounds. In the past we may have felt a similar sensation with maybe one song from as artist, but AJ encompasses the ability to conjure up this sensation with every performance. There is a synergy between her looks, sounds, and gestures, and her abilities to activate your senses, therefore; just seeing a picture of her is enough to bring tears to one’s eyes, we are indeed, Pavlov's Dogs.
She is indeed a joy to watch. This was the culmination that justified to her that her chosen path to sing for the world. Bless her family for all the documentation that allows us to live the experience of her coming of age, permitting us to feel like family too.
I agree with all your comments, great reaction. This performance was my first intro to Angelina and she made me feel emotional with her ethereal sounding voice.
She’s 17 today & with Republic Records - newer songs SUSPICIOUS MINDS - BILLIE JEAN - FIFA AWARDS SHOW - EASY ON ME - MILLION MILES ETC. She has over 140 covers🌀
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced at now 75. She does this with maybe one instrument accompanying her.
A&R Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California is Angelina's A&R person, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, three years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
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 arrangement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 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 on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (to date more than 10 million listeners on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
Angelina has a way of drawing you in to focus on every word in anticipation. She chooses songs with great lyrics. In my opinion her ability to reinvent songs while still paying homage to the original versions is as big of a talent as her voice. In my 69 years I have not seen such a talented artist. It must have been magical to be in that audience that day.
I had been watching Angelina for about four years when she did this and still I was shocked. It was a bit of a departure from what she had been doing in terms of style and content but perfect for the occasion. As for her ambition to sing for Simon, she learned it's a mistake to meet your heroes.
The suit Angelina was wearing is her own design. She had the material print made from one of her grandmother's paintings. She is conversationally fluent in three languages, Norwegian, English and Farci,
Great reaction TYLR , that was more like an Angelina concert rather than an audition and an Angelina song rather than a cover, her voice is uniquely beautiful and so is she, nothing is off limits to her she can sing anything and adapt her voice as she likes. Yes she can out soul everyone, so natural, authentic, honest, humble, caring and the joy and the love from grand heart pours out of her, never been an artist like her for me she has her own Angelina level.
Yes to your thoughts, great reaction. Angelinas outfit was made for her by her grandmother. Material was copied from Merys artwork. Mery is a famous artist and poet and Angelinas greatest inspiration. Thanks for sharing Angelina 😊
Our little Barefoot princess, the girl of a thousand voices. I'm happy to see another new angel. Welcome to the club We are just getting started. She is about to take the entire music industry over and set the bar higher than it's been in decades. So strap in hold on and enjoy.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our musical genius, After this performance Angelina received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating Angelina on a amazing performance, and the guy’s from Queen gave Angelina the copyright to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, Angelina also received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, Angelina’s performance also has around 100 million views on social media platforms, great reaction thanks 🙏
I have enjoyed your reactions thus far and your comments always hit the nail on the head. I can tell you are on your way to becoming an angel. Thanks for providing some of Angelina's links in your description. If you want to help her, I would strongly encourage you to suggest your viewers that they like comment and subscribe to Angelina's videos and channels just as you suggest for your own. Equal priority for artist and reactor makes for very happy fans and new subscribers to your channel. Peace out.
I was watching the night of this performance and was hooked! I believe Howie was right this performance changed her life and career. By introducing her to the USA.
I still think Howie had some behind the senes info that Angelina would not win. His comments on this and for Yellow Brick Road foretell of her not winning. It’s commercial TV after all so they produce a show just for maximum $$$$ profit.
@@ronjones1077 Angelina can't win because she didn't want to locked with AGT contract for years (it's not a good deal). She prefer signed with Republic Records (Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, etc) at age 14 because they agreed to prioritize her education. She will release her single (with RR) at the end of this month and the album in the fall.
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed with Angelina's performance they allowed her to copyright her version and it has and is still available on multiple music streaming services where she gets the royalties and she also performs it live in concert on a regular basis - here is one from the Summer of 2022: th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
Over the years, I have seen hundreds and hundreds of reactors get blown away by this performance. For me, it’s the best live performance I’ve ever seen. I’m sure others could argue with that, but this is the complete package: her own arrangement of an untouchable classic, a voice for the ages, and most of all, her ability to make us hear and feel the meaning of the lyrics better than the original-by a 13 year old in front of judges on national TV. I’ve listened to this countless times and I still feel the emotion physically every time. What can you pick for your next Angelina song? Anything. Any title, any age, any genre. Since you liked this acoustic-type arrangement, watch Angelina, with just an acoustic guitar backing her, give us her version of Adele’s A Million Years Ago. She was 12 for this, and it made me realize that Angelina was the best singer I’d ever heard. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/w-d-xo.html
Johnvasi, I realized the same thing… that Angelina had the most beautiful voice I had ever heard… when I first heard “Million Miles” too. Actually the night I came across “Million Miles”, I discovered “Stay” as well, and I must’ve spent all night playing these two songs back to back, over and over. This discovery was an epiphany, and I think I’ve been listening to Angelina daily, since then. I discovered those two songs around the time Angelina posted them; this was close to a year BEFORE America’s Got Talent, and back then I was scrambling to hear anything that Angelina had performed. My “Angelina journey” has been such a joy ever since then. 🖤👣🎶
@@peterhormell1511 Yes, I listen to Angelina every day. I am addicted, but it’s a wonderful addiction. I’m old, and I’ve never felt that way about any other singer in my life-not even close.
AJ's BR is so different, so unique, so brilliant in so many dimensions. Solo guitar and then piano -- there is nowhere to hide any vocal mistakes. Everything is a foil for her voice. No studio, no auto-tune, no retakes. As you say, it's AJ, a guitar, and a piano. About as close to perfection as you'll ever see in a live performance.
Amazing reaction, TYLR! Are you excited for her debut album yet ?? I believe you are. Angelina is the real deal when it comes to music, and I firmly believe that we will have to endure a WHOLE LOT of music from her in the future 😅 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Truly a MASTERPIECE !!!!!! Everyone is stunned watching and listening to her the first time they hear her sing this classic. What's so remarkable is it gets better and better each time you listen. The emotional ride she takes us on is mind boggling.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful performance by Angelina - this time with her amazing reinterpretation of this epic Queen song. Also wanted to thank you for setting up a separate playlist for Angelina so quickly (it really helps us fans to know which songs you've already reacted to when we're recommending another Angelina song). If you want to go back to shortly after her NGT win, highly recommend a couple of gems while she was still 8: an outdoor performance of "What Difference A Day Makes" & her US debut on The View singing "Fly Me To The Moon". If you'd like to watch something more recent, her 2022 performance at age 16 of the Elvis hit "Suspicious Minds" is truly mesmerizing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Trivia: Angelina turned 17 on 10 January 2023, and will graduate early from high school in Spring. Her grasp of English at a very young age comes from her family and the English speaking/centric schools she attended since she was very little. The band, "Queen," so enjoyed her performance so much that they tweeted their congratulations and then gave her the rights to her rendition of their song.
Queen's style was based in the rock backing of Freddie's powerful vocals. When Angelina covers a song, you always get a re-imagined version that is pensive, measured, and reflective.
Such a wonderful reaction. The question: "How does she do that?" Her voice range and control....her masterful will. As a very young girl, my father introduced me to Yma Sumac, an Inca Princess from the high Peruvian mountains. The air is so thin and the lungs develop quite a bit larger to take in more air. Yma was "discovered' and brought down to Capitol Records for recording. No less than a five Octave range voice. Just unbelievable Yma's control and range. I wonder about Angelina and her abilities....I wonder about Oslo Norway's elevation.....and if it had a bit to do with the vocal range of Angelina. It very well may not. But....for Yma.....look out. Elevation absolutely did play a vital part....very much so.
But of a change from I Put a Spell on You, heh? This musical genius can sing anything and make it so unique and emotional. Great reaction sir, and I’m enjoying your experiences with our young lady. Thank you from Alaska
We join you in your happiness for Angelina Jordan. Only your third song in and you are justifiably entranced. Well done, Sir TYLR, well done. Grandma Ellen, out.
Yeah this video cuts off, but Heidi hit the Golden Buzzer. Angelina preformed Yellow Brick Road in the final but didn't win, which in my opinion was an injustice.
Yes, this was an amazing performance. Angelina is so talented! I think she ended up runner up on that year's show (I may be wrong). I think Marcelito Pomoy won. Thanks for the reaction! She has continued to get even better as the years have passed. One of the best female artists out there. For current female voices I have her up there with Lara Fabian, and my very favorite, So Hyang.
The Acrobatic Dance Group V. Unbeatable actually won the show. They had won the 14th season of America's Got Talent. Marcelito came in 4th. Unfortunately Angelina didn’t make the top 5. However most feel that she did what she needed to do which is gain more exposure. Not winning was actually a blessing in the disguise.
Just an FYI, she’s been speaking English since she was 3 or 4 yo. She speaks 5 languages and plays 4 instruments, mostly guitar and piano. Her and her grandmother made the outfit she performing in from cloth they had silkscreened her grandma’s paintings onto. And yes, she’s honoring her vow she made when she was 6 yo to perform barefoot to remind herself of all the less fortunate children in the world.
Larry, I think this statement is not quite true . Certainly sounds great to say it as remaining band members were super impressed with her version of of the song on AGT and Angelina consequently recorded it on her own label ; however, to say Queen gave her the copyright doesn't quite correlate with the information us Angels have gleened from recent posts of current Administrators . Please feel free to correct me if you have proof otherwise. I love hearing every aspect of Angelina's success.😘🫶
@@arceliedunn2022 Right On! Yeah, Queen may be a bunch of cool dudes & all. But I highly doubt no matter how good or cute anyone is who wants to rock one of their songs gets a free pass with their blessings. Not that they need the money (they don't). But if anyone's making big profit off of covering a Queen tune I guarantee there's a problem & someone has something to say about it no doubt. That's just common sense & good business practices. Even if the members of Queen themselves don't GAS if anyone covers a Queen song you can bet your azz Queen's law firm, music distributors & accountants are gonna be all over it. Especially an iconic song like Bohemian Rhapsody that makes money just by mentioning the tune. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul++
WOW Tylr, 3 excellent reactions in a row. Great job. This is considered by many the greatest talent performance ever. She needs no bells or whistles. Just her voice is enough. Also have to give her credit for doing her own arrangements. I suggest 2 options to continue your journey. Her other 3 performances on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 8 years old. You could do all 3 in 1 reaction and see her progression. About 10 minutes. I'm a Fool to Want you. Link from eMusic Talent - th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html Bang Bang Link from her channel - th-cam.com/video/7LVHl_juO-Q/w-d-xo.html Summertime Link from pa1189j - th-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/w-d-xo.html Or some Adele covers. Someone Like You 13 yo, All I Ask 15 yo, Easy on Me 16 yo.
AJ goes from best to even better, setting the bar at every new performance for 10 years now. Her latest songs are world class, checkout Suspicious Minds.
Hi TYLR 👋. What a great reaction to 13 Angelina. Queen was blown away by her that they posted it and gave her the rights to her version and their blessing to record it. 😀👍❤. You might go back and react to the 3 other NGT songs she did.❤👍
Have a listen to "I'm Still Holding Out For You" by 10yr old Angelina. This song was leaked, the video fan based. There was a big hoopla over this piece. This was leaked at the same time Baby Fuzz released this song. It was written between him & some other musicians at some kind of event. Anyway as I understand no one seemed interested in doing it. But what he didn't know Angelina took the song and did a demo. It got shelved. Why? Who knows. Who leaked it? Nobody's talking. Baby Fuzz eventually was told about the leak, thankfully he appreciated her version. He was supposed to have said she gave it justice. So the story goes. So, basically, it's not a cover. It's all her interpretation of the piece. I find this shows her intelligence for music. She has been referred to as a prodigy. To take a piece of music & just blow it out of the water at 10, is incredible.
AGT had a tough time getting Angelina on the show. They called up out of the blue asking for her, and when her uncle Mike heard their first contract offer he laughed out loud. So she did the show without an AGT contract which meant she couldn't "win" (the top three acts all did) There is a laugh out loud moment when the sound man hands her the mike and tells her to just step up to the mike. What's next? Telling Babe Ruth to relax and make contact? And I would have loved to get Heidi to ask Angelina if she had ever performed before an audience that big, to which Angelina could say, "Oh yes, I opened for Norah Jones in front of 40,000 people in South Korea". The show was recorded in October 2019 and broadcast in January 2020 and AGT didn't realize what they had gotten themselves into. When Angelina (and Marcelito Pomoy who was in the same contract situation) didn't win, things blew up in their face, the publicity was terrible and NBC dropped any plans for a third season. Try her rendition of Suspicious Minds from last year, it's another song she totally rearranged. Keep going, your insights are great
Now you need to head directly to the last 2 songs she did at AGT2020 and after that there are several super great covers she did 10 to 12 years old,, and many more from here at 13 to now at 17 years old (Jan 10 2023 AJs B day)
Her recent performances almost let AGT look old already. And yet she still only 17 today and will graduate High school this year. Here's a treat from last summers concerts in Norway, Suspicious Minds: th-cam.com/video/AKDL8LLp8xc/w-d-xo.html
Republic Records age 14 Los Angeles in Los Angeles for the record company in a break time to going back to nowhere to do it concert. This is going to leave for Japan to do a concert to release the new album this year.
AGT First, and foremost; Angelina was not on that show to win. This was quite simply to promote and expose the US public to this prodigy that comes along maybe once in a generation. To win, AJ’s family would have had to sign a contract with Simon, and he would have been in control of her future. Her family would not allow that to happen. It was not question of money offered because AJ was already worth 2 to 3 million at the age of 13, and her family are very wealthy. I am sure America’s Got Talent was paid well by her production company Stargate, the hitmaking duo (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith). David Foster tried to sign her in the past after she won Norway's Got Talent, but the family did not like the contract. She is like nothing we have ever experienced.
You must not know the nature of the kind of negotiations that they had to get her on the show! Angelina didn’t pay AGT anything, in fact they probably paid, because they wanted her on their show, they tried to get her for the first AGT Champions and Angelina’s team said NO, and they also didn’t get rights to the songs she sang on the show, so you are mostly right, but when it comes to who paid who, I’m sure AGT paid, because they used her as the rabbit to get viewers, and I’m certain they got a higher market share after people saw her on the show, because it was a decade telecast and .Angelina’s Angles were viral to see her performance way before the show aired.
She said herself she wanted to win. I think she is very honest. She could have won, there was little difference in the talent levels, but she just didn't. But I am convinced she cared very much to win.

Angelina has been bilingual her entire life; plus she apparently also speaks Japanese and Farsi.. Her English is better than most of us in America.

Thanks for providing some of Angelina's links in your description. If you want to help her, I would strongly encourage you to suggest your viewers that they like comment and subscribe to Angelina's videos and channels just as you suggest for your own. Equal priority for artist and reactor makes for very happy fans and new subscribers to your channel. Peace out.
I was watching the night of this performance and was hooked! I believe Howie was right this performance changed her life and career. By introducing her to the USA.
I still think Howie had some behind the senes info that Angelina would not win. His comments on this and for Yellow Brick Road foretell of her not winning. It’s commercial TV after all so they produce a show just for maximum $$$$ profit.
@@ronjones1077 Angelina can't win because she didn't want to locked with AGT contract for years (it's not a good deal). She prefer signed with Republic Records (Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, etc) at age 14 because they agreed to prioritize her education. She will release her single (with RR) at the end of this month and the album in the fall.
This is a masterpiece! The future of music is bright! Nice reaction, Tylr!
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed with Angelina's performance they allowed her to copyright her version and it has and is still available on multiple music streaming services where she gets the royalties and she also performs it live in concert on a regular basis - here is one from the Summer of 2022: th-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/w-d-xo.html
Great post to accompany the original version Robert! ❤️
I hear Angelina’s official release on Pandora streaming.
Over the years, I have seen hundreds and hundreds of reactors get blown away by this performance. For me, it’s the best live performance I’ve ever seen. I’m sure others could argue with that, but this is the complete package: her own arrangement of an untouchable classic, a voice for the ages, and most of all, her ability to make us hear and feel the meaning of the lyrics better than the original-by a 13 year old in front of judges on national TV. I’ve listened to this countless times and I still feel the emotion physically every time.
What can you pick for your next Angelina song? Anything. Any title, any age, any genre. Since you liked this acoustic-type arrangement, watch Angelina, with just an acoustic guitar backing her, give us her version of Adele’s A Million Years Ago. She was 12 for this, and it made me realize that Angelina was the best singer I’d ever heard. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/w-d-xo.html
Yes, that song and Stay are stand outs!
Johnvasi, I realized the same thing… that Angelina had the most beautiful voice I had ever heard… when I first heard “Million Miles” too. Actually the night I came across “Million Miles”, I discovered “Stay” as well, and I must’ve spent all night playing these two songs back to back, over and over. This discovery was an epiphany, and I think I’ve been listening to Angelina daily, since then.
I discovered those two songs around the time Angelina posted them; this was close to a year BEFORE America’s Got Talent, and back then I was scrambling to hear anything that Angelina had performed. My “Angelina journey” has been such a joy ever since then. 🖤👣🎶
@@peterhormell1511 Yes, I listen to Angelina every day. I am addicted, but it’s a wonderful addiction. I’m old, and I’ve never felt that way about any other singer in my life-not even close.
@@ronjones1077 Here is the link to Stay: th-cam.com/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/w-d-xo.html
Anything. 😳
She creates a harmonic acoustic resonance in her new music. Enjoy the rabbit hole, hang on!
AJ's BR is so different, so unique, so brilliant in so many dimensions. Solo guitar and then piano -- there is nowhere to hide any vocal mistakes. Everything is a foil for her voice. No studio, no auto-tune, no retakes. As you say, it's AJ, a guitar, and a piano. About as close to perfection as you'll ever see in a live performance.
💯💯 On Point !
Amazing reaction, TYLR! Are you excited for her debut album yet ?? I believe you are. Angelina is the real deal when it comes to music, and I firmly believe that we will have to endure a WHOLE LOT of music from her in the future 😅 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Ny soul listens and trembles !!!
Truly a MASTERPIECE !!!!!! Everyone is stunned watching and listening to her the first time they hear her sing this classic. What's so remarkable is it gets better and better each time you listen. The emotional ride she takes us on is mind boggling.
💗💗💗
Great Reaction Man
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful performance by Angelina - this time with her amazing reinterpretation of this epic Queen song. Also wanted to thank you for setting up a separate playlist for Angelina so quickly (it really helps us fans to know which songs you've already reacted to when we're recommending another Angelina song). If you want to go back to shortly after her NGT win, highly recommend a couple of gems while she was still 8: an outdoor performance of "What Difference A Day Makes" & her US debut on The View singing "Fly Me To The Moon". If you'd like to watch something more recent, her 2022 performance at age 16 of the Elvis hit "Suspicious Minds" is truly mesmerizing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Trivia:
Angelina turned 17 on 10 January 2023, and will graduate early from high school in Spring. Her grasp of English at a very young age comes from her family and the English speaking/centric schools she attended since she was very little.
The band, "Queen," so enjoyed her performance so much that they tweeted their congratulations and then gave her the rights to her rendition of their song.
Still the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ Chills and goosebumps every time I listen to that performance ❤️
❤️… me too! 😉
Watch her I PUT A SPELL ON YOU. @LIKE 9 YEARS old.
@@omunozl Yeah, that just is a crazy performance and a great arrangement ❤️
Angelina makes you really, really listen to the lyrics !!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Queen's style was based in the rock backing of Freddie's powerful vocals. When Angelina covers a song, you always get a re-imagined version that is pensive, measured, and reflective.
Queen loved it so much they allowed her to copyright her version.
Such a wonderful reaction. The question: "How does she do that?" Her voice range and control....her masterful will. As a very young girl, my father introduced me to Yma Sumac, an Inca Princess from the high Peruvian mountains. The air is so thin and the lungs develop quite a bit larger to take in more air. Yma was "discovered' and brought down to Capitol Records for recording. No less than a five Octave range voice. Just unbelievable Yma's control and range. I wonder about Angelina and her abilities....I wonder about Oslo Norway's elevation.....and if it had a bit to do with the vocal range of Angelina. It very well may not. But....for Yma.....look out. Elevation absolutely did play a vital part....very much so.
But of a change from I Put a Spell on You, heh? This musical genius can sing anything and make it so unique and emotional. Great reaction sir, and I’m enjoying your experiences with our young lady. Thank you from Alaska
We join you in your happiness for Angelina Jordan. Only your third song in and you are justifiably entranced. Well done, Sir TYLR, well done. Grandma Ellen, out.
Awesome reaction do "Million Years Ago", then "You Say", another very Emotional Performance, God Bless!
Yeah this video cuts off, but Heidi hit the Golden Buzzer. Angelina preformed Yellow Brick Road in the final but didn't win, which in my opinion was an injustice.
Btw Angelina is 17 now, born in January of 2006 👍
Yes, this was an amazing performance. Angelina is so talented! I think she ended up runner up on that year's show (I may be wrong). I think Marcelito Pomoy won. Thanks for the reaction! She has continued to get even better as the years have passed. One of the best female artists out there. For current female voices I have her up there with Lara Fabian, and my very favorite, So Hyang.
The Acrobatic Dance Group V. Unbeatable actually won the show. They had won the 14th season of America's Got Talent. Marcelito came in 4th. Unfortunately Angelina didn’t make the top 5. However most feel that she did what she needed to do which is gain more exposure. Not winning was actually a blessing in the disguise.
Just an FYI, she’s been speaking English since she was 3 or 4 yo. She speaks 5 languages and plays 4 instruments, mostly guitar and piano.
Her and her grandmother made the outfit she performing in from cloth they had silkscreened her grandma’s paintings onto.
And yes, she’s honoring her vow she made when she was 6 yo to perform barefoot to remind herself of all the less fortunate children in the world.
Queen liked her version so much they gave her copyrights to it.
Larry, I think this statement is not quite true . Certainly sounds great to say it as remaining band members were super impressed with her version of of the song on AGT and Angelina consequently recorded it on her own label ; however, to say Queen gave her the copyright doesn't quite correlate with the information us Angels have gleened from recent posts of current Administrators . Please feel free to correct me if you have proof otherwise. I love hearing every aspect of Angelina's success.😘🫶
@@arceliedunn2022 Whoever had the rights on this song gave her the permission to use it freely this song, right?
@@daniloaccialini9734Please explain ??
@@arceliedunn2022 Right On! Yeah, Queen may be a bunch of cool dudes & all. But I highly doubt no matter how good or cute anyone is who wants to rock one of their songs gets a free pass with their blessings. Not that they need the money (they don't). But if anyone's making big profit off of covering a Queen tune I guarantee there's a problem & someone has something to say about it no doubt. That's just common sense & good business practices. Even if the members of Queen themselves don't GAS if anyone covers a Queen song you can bet your azz Queen's law firm, music distributors & accountants are gonna be all over it. Especially an iconic song like Bohemian Rhapsody that makes money just by mentioning the tune. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul++
WOW Tylr, 3 excellent reactions in a row. Great job.
This is considered by many the greatest talent performance ever.
She needs no bells or whistles. Just her voice is enough.
Also have to give her credit for doing her own arrangements.
I suggest 2 options to continue your journey.
Her other 3 performances on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 8 years old.
You could do all 3 in 1 reaction and see her progression. About 10 minutes.

Or some Adele covers. Someone Like You 13 yo, All I Ask 15 yo, Easy on Me 16 yo.
AJ goes from best to even better, setting the bar at every new performance for 10 years now. Her latest songs are world class, checkout Suspicious Minds.
Hi TYLR 👋. What a great reaction to 13 Angelina. Queen was blown away by her that they posted it and gave her the rights to her version and their blessing to record it. 😀👍❤. You might go back and react to the 3 other NGT songs she did.❤👍
From Malaysia.
Have a listen to "I'm Still Holding Out For You" by 10yr old Angelina. This song was leaked, the video fan based. There was a big hoopla over this piece. This was leaked at the same time Baby Fuzz released this song. It was written between him & some other musicians at some kind of event. Anyway as I understand no one seemed interested in doing it. But what he didn't know Angelina took the song and did a demo. It got shelved. Why? Who knows. Who leaked it? Nobody's talking. Baby Fuzz eventually was told about the leak, thankfully he appreciated her version. He was supposed to have said she gave it justice. So the story goes. So, basically, it's not a cover. It's all her interpretation of the piece. I find this shows her intelligence for music. She has been referred to as a prodigy. To take a piece of music & just blow it out of the water at 10, is incredible.
fvkin loved this so much. god tier sonic material. I feel like they just keep getting better and better. 😍😍😍
😀😀😀😀😀
At the ending her grandmother standing up first with mother,sister and uncle
At 15 she did "Love is a game".
Please React to Angelina's cover of Million years ago
12yrs old
I still think you need to see her cover of I rather go blind by Etta James she was 12 or 13.
This performance was my introduction to Angie. She’s owned a piece of my heart ever since. I love that girl. ❤
AGT had a tough time getting Angelina on the show. They called up out of the blue asking for her, and when her uncle Mike heard their first contract offer he laughed out loud. So she did the show without an AGT contract which meant she couldn't "win" (the top three acts all did) There is a laugh out loud moment when the sound man hands her the mike and tells her to just step up to the mike. What's next? Telling Babe Ruth to relax and make contact? And I would have loved to get Heidi to ask Angelina if she had ever performed before an audience that big, to which Angelina could say, "Oh yes, I opened for Norah Jones in front of 40,000 people in South Korea". The show was recorded in October 2019 and broadcast in January 2020 and AGT didn't realize what they had gotten themselves into. When Angelina (and Marcelito Pomoy who was in the same contract situation) didn't win, things blew up in their face, the publicity was terrible and NBC dropped any plans for a third season. Try her rendition of Suspicious Minds from last year, it's another song she totally rearranged. Keep going, your insights are great
She is mesmerizing.
Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
Greatly appreciate your reaction! ✨️ Subscribing for the journey.
She's 13 now in AGT. Today (April 5, 2023) she is 17 (since January 10, 2023).
It was almost exactly a year after this tat she signed with Republic Records.
Loved your reaction =)
Now you need to head directly to the last 2 songs she did at AGT2020 and after that there are several super great covers she did 10 to 12 years old,, and many more from here at 13 to now at 17 years old (Jan 10 2023 AJs B day)
💯
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
She grew up speaking a few languages.
She sang 2 other songs in the competition.
There’s another video showing the rest of the judges’s comments and a surprise at the end!
You are a hoot
You should check out Suspicious Minds next.
Angelina has been able to speak English since she was 4 or 5 years old. Here is a clip: th-cam.com/video/dPJL6u2Ne3g/w-d-xo.html
Her vocal runs remind my of a lead guitar with a wah-wah pedal.
13 years out here
Ok, it's time you checked out her version of Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds.
Her recent performances almost let AGT look old already. And yet she still only 17 today and will graduate High school this year. Here's a treat from last summers concerts in Norway, Suspicious Minds: th-cam.com/video/AKDL8LLp8xc/w-d-xo.html
She can speak at least 4 languages
She is only 17, her birthday is Jan 10, 2006
Republic Records age 14
Los Angeles in Los Angeles for the record company in a break time to going back to nowhere to do it concert. This is going to leave for Japan to do a concert to release the new album this year.
She has spoken fluent English since she was five or six….
🥰
She got the golden buzzer from Heidi but they cancelled that part out wild bill
🫶🏻😇👣🎼🎶🎵
AND she looks like Winnie Cooper...
AGT
First, and foremost; Angelina was not on that show to win. This was quite simply to promote and expose the US public to this prodigy that comes along maybe once in a generation. To win, AJ’s family would have had to sign a contract with Simon, and he would have been in control of her future. Her family would not allow that to happen. It was not question of money offered because AJ was already worth 2 to 3 million at the age of 13, and her family are very wealthy. I am sure America’s Got Talent was paid well by her production company Stargate, the hitmaking duo (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith). David Foster tried to sign her in the past after she won Norway's Got Talent, but the family did not like the contract. She is like nothing we have ever experienced.
You must not know the nature of the kind of negotiations that they had to get her on the show! Angelina didn’t pay AGT anything, in fact they probably paid, because they wanted her on their show, they tried to get her for the first AGT Champions and Angelina’s team said NO, and they also didn’t get rights to the songs she sang on the show, so you are mostly right, but when it comes to who paid who, I’m sure AGT paid, because they used her as the rabbit to get viewers, and I’m certain they got a higher market share after people saw her on the show, because it was a decade telecast and .Angelina’s Angles were viral to see her performance way before the show aired.
She said herself she wanted to win. I think she is very honest. She could have won, there was little difference in the talent levels, but she just didn't. But I am convinced she cared very much to win.
Stop stating your speculations as facts please
Champions, you have to win want to be bothered her. The price is $1 million US.
You should try ànd listen to Diàna Ankudinova from Russia
That was a snuff video she murdered that
