So proud of you all. The comments are heartwarming to read. The growing groundswell is a joy to watch. Angelina has a heart bigger than the moon. Angels are walking amongst us all. 💝💞😇
thank you for you comments and postings .
Oh man... She's adorable. 😍😍😍
He parents are so proud of this tiny angel. Now she's a big goddess angel. 🦶😇😍😍
Wonderful comments, Angelina is an anomaly for sure , one of a kind!!
Thank you Clyde! 😊😊😊🤝
Great reaction, exactly this cannot be taught, it's a god given talent. The way she comprehends an old song but still makes it her own. I don't think she was ever nervous, just in her happy place..... so excited to see how far she goes.... Angelina keep your eyes to the skies and you will rise cheers
Yes we have but we still cry every time
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It is good that at seven years of age, she does not understand that kind of sadness, she is an amazing talent, so intuitive.
Absolutely agree with how you describe what AJ has... it's all about emoting to us so we feel something that we haven't before.
I agree with you 100%.
she is totally unreal the way she evokes the emotion in the song. i am one of those who have watched it many times. i have been surprised and satisfied every time. i agree with the lady who said you are music, she is a treasure to enjoy and be amazed every time. she is also very humble and supports many charities especially for providing clothing for children. i am sure you have heard the story about why she is barefoot. when she was about 6 i think she was walking with her grandmother in the middle east. they came across a young girl and she had a scale. she was barefoot and was weighing people to raise some money for her family. she thought Angelinas boots were beautiful so Angelina took them off and gave them to the little girl who had no shoes, even at such a young age she was a caring person. she told the little girl she would perform her songs barefoot until all the children had shoes. quite a little gal
the young male judge became a good friend of Angelina since that audition.
Omer Bhatti, part of the Michael Jackson family. Could potentially have played a part in Quincy Jones noticing her and inviting her to open the concert for his 85th birthday at the O2 Arena in London in 2018.
The best reaction to any song ever.
The things you said. 👍
Music transcends…. Totally agree
Hard to comprehend the enormity of her amazing talent , what an absolute superstar we have! Lovely in-depth reaction.
Absolutely spot on reaction.
You’re so correct on so many levels
. Thank you
Thank you!!! 😊😊😊🫶
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great reaction. Thanks for reacting to AJ.
Yes, as you said, this has been spectacluar to watch -- just as your insight and comments have been spectacular, too.
Glad you saw the translated version with the jury and got all of it. I think that really add to it and give you the whole feeling of this performance. Her singing, presence and their reactions. Very touching.
Me too it was nice to know what the judges had to say!
I adamantly agree with your summation of what you experienced listening to seven year old Angelina perform this old classic song.
First and foremost for me, what I saw in this performance was a young girl whom was completely devoid of the stereotypical behavior one would expect to see from a seven year old child in that setting. Angelina demonstrated self confidence and a complete lack of fear, especially knowing this is a singing competition in front of a live audience. She also impressed me with how relaxed and comfortable she was.
I have come to the conclusion that Angelina was endowed with a highly developed intellect, intuition, instincts and empathy. It also seems that she is hyper sensitive to how to interpret the lyrics and the amount of emotion that the lyrics call for.
The only explanation is born to sing, in one her other performances one of the judges said “ Angelina you have the unique ability to emote emotion through song”. Angelina has always had this ability and if it wasn’t for her parents and knowing that she’s not ready, and education must come first. Certainly not music, but being able to maneuver fame, money and personal life is not easy for a 16 year old, heck it’s not easy for a 30 year old. Considering the circumstances her family (shield) are doing a stellar job keeping Angelina grounded.
Angelina and her closest, decided early on that she would have as normal a childhood as possible. Even when she won NGT, 8 years old, many wanted to sign a contract. Everyone was dismissed! Even Disney. When it comes to the actual training and choice of songs etc., it has always been Angelina who made all the choices and decisions. Parents and others, on the other hand, have asked her to take it a little easier sometimes. Angelina is very special and her own driving force. Ever since she was 3-4 years old! Of course, all relatives and frends, have helped and protected her from the evil that unfortunately exists here.
Thanks for alluding to the magic that is Angelina. We are so lucky to have her to brighten our days.
I noticed that 3 of the judges were so "gobsmacked" by what they just heard, they were still taking it in when they realized it was time for them to stand!
Such an insightful reaction! That truly is her magic.. expressing the emotional heart of a song and sending it straight to your own heart ❤️
Thank you Sharon! 🫶
Your reaction has been one of the most insightful of the responses I have read about this performance. I so appreciate your understanding of the depth of her ability to convey the nuances of the song at the young age of seven with the lack of age related llfe experience. The voice sings what the soul feels and Angelina truly conveys that, not only this performance, but also in her other performances throughout the years since. She is a gift to the world of music!
Thank you so much Cynthia, I really appreciate it! 😊🫶
Yes, my friend, that was the beginning. When someone discovers Angelina and listens to her sing she will blow that person away. Their brain has no clue what is going on but their heart knew IMMEDIATELY what was going on and opened it's door to let Angelina's love in.The connection she has with people is so incredible most of us (if not all of us) have never experienced anything like this before in our lives. To me she is a Messenger of Love. As you said, words are not necessary to express how you feel. The feeling you have inside of you speaks volumes and here's the kicker: She will actually influence who you are as a person.
I often ask the following question to people, "Are you a better person since you have discovered Angelina?" The most common response is they will think for a second or two, then look up, and smile.
The youngest judge became a family friend of the Astars and later introduced to his friends the Jacksons when visited them at Christmas a couple of years latter. And yes it was those Jacksons.
Awesome reaction and commentary. Absolutely on point with your opinion and agree with you 💯. Thank you Jeff.
Thank you my brother! 😊🤝🫶
Nice comment so much on point !
Just subscribed for our beautiful Angel, Angelina.
everything you said nails it for me ....... perhaps you might like to listen to her rendition of "I'll Be There" when she is ill and struggles to make the notes, but for me her most emotional performance, and for a 8 year old, just beyond words !! ... have a go
Thank u. Your insight is appreciated ✌🏻from one🎸 to another 🎸🎼
Excellent, insightful comments.
Thank you Greg! 😊🤝
I'm glad you mentioned about the meaning of the song. That long pause when the judge asks her what the song means and she says it's about a sad Sunday, made me think: I wonder what is going through his mind, because a lot of things must be. She doesn't understand - yet she sings like she does - what do I say to her? And I agree about the communication of the music. Angelina does that better than anyone, it's what she does.
I think most have been said about Angelina, and I agree! But today I want to say: I love you Jeff! Bravo!!! That was a very astute, warm and intelligent comment that says volumes about you! Thanks a million! 👏👏👏🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
Awww my brother you made my day! Thank you so much! Big love back to you! 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
@@StrateleStudios 🙏🏼😊
Your comments are exactly on point. I am glad I subscribed to your channel because you get it.
Thank you Bill! 😊😊😊🤝
Bang Bang next PLEASE! It's just...wow! Maybe have a tissue handy.
Rachel, you are very persuasive. I’m very tempted…😃
Another good reaction. 👍
You started when she started singing and that is a logical place to start. When you start a little earlier you see a little sweet girl in a princess dress entering the stage with a wild mane of hair and some teeth missing. Than as soon as she starts singing, the artists appears mesmerizing audience and jury alike and you as well as it seemed. If you listen to Billie’s version back to back it becomes even more amazing: it is eerily close. Even back than she touches people emotionally with her singing and I agree that is what music is all about. The other three performances are all great to watch as well and you can see the jumps in her abilities from one performance to another.
She has indeed an inborn spark and ability which cannot be taught. It is exciting to watch her grow and grow. If you compare this song at 7 year old and her current abilities, there is HUGE jump in what she is capable of. Her voice will not fully mature until she is in her mid-twenties and that is another 9 years of growth. I literally cannot imagine what that will mean, but it will be exciting for sure!
First: I really love your way of reacting. Not clicking the "stop" button every 20 seconds and so full respect and with real information/knowledge. Not just "she is good" or so (everybody who is hearing her will know that instantly) but all that extra information about the art of singing / performing. Thank you so much. Second: I liked the way Angelina said "it's about a sad Sunday" when the judge asked her if she knew what this song is about. Apparently that information "it is about a sad Sunday" was enough for Angelina to sing it the way she did, blowing everybody away.
I was going to unsubscribe just to resubscribe for the reason I subscribed in the first place !!! Great explanation once again!!! Go Angelina !!!
😂🤣😂 love that! 😂🤣😂❤️
Her timbre, rhythm and blue note scoops is captured by a mic. Then digitalized, resampled a couple of times and finally turned into sound in my earphones. And it is still brings goosebumps and a warm pain relief in my aching back. People almost get religious over this musical marvel.
Great comment 😊😊😊🫶
After 56 years, Angelina was the first person I have seen who made me seriously consider reincarnation as a real possibility. Since then I have realized that she would need to be a reincarnation of every vocalist she ever heard combined into one.
All people who believe in the second coming have to seriously consider the possibility. She certainly puts people in touch with the divine, reminding us that it resides within each and every human being. Universal love meets confident humility and the ability to convey pure beauty.
Nikos your statement of "Universal..." that so accurately and beautifully conveys the reality of 🌺The Barefoot Princess 🌹 is a quote from whom?, as a stunningly poetic and truly apt description. Cheers 🥂
@@terryellsworth5848 I only tried to express my take on the spiritual side of Angelinas art and personality, glad you find it true. Feel free to use it if you like. Cheers!
wowzers... that was a superlative off the cuff reaction/comment! Interesting that her first album released on the net was called, "It's Magic". I keep thinking about that little girl who Angelina gave her shoes to. Remember that other little girl promised to pray for Angelina? I don't doubt that there is something going on with Angelina that can't be explained otherwise.
Thanks Charles. Ya there is something really special going on with Angelina! 😊🫶
Very well said.

This was the first song I heard of AJ performing. It blew me away and I had to explore the rabbit hole, as they say.
Yes, you hit on the mystery of Angelina in a deep philosophical sense. Music, when it works as you point out, moves the listener emotionally. In most performers this comes from experience that has brought on those types of emotions, which they call upon to inflect their performance. How does one so young, who obviously cannot have had the relevant emotional experience, reach listeners as if she did? I agree that it is inborn. An enormously precocious empathy? Perhaps. I tend to think she comes about it through another path, a musicality that very, very few have. Therefore, it escapes our understanding. Angelina has said that when she sings she enters this special place in her mind. She describes it as the most beautiful place beyond imagining. That's were she gets it. That's the gift she shares with us when she performs. It comes from that place that only she can experience. ... Thank you for bringing this topic to our attention. It really gets us focused on the question of what is the essence of this pint-sized phenomenon?
Beautifully said WP! Thank you for this wonderful comment! 😊😊😊👏👏👏❤️
Here is an interview clip with Angelina describing where she goes mentally when she sings: m.th-cam.com/video/3HUQZFSPBNQ/w-d-xo.html
tRULY WONDERFUL AND INCIGHTFUL REACTION FROM i'M SURE A DEDICATED MUSICIAN. sorry for the caps. This link is for all 4 of her performances. You must see them. Its only 10 minutes plus. Her second audition she sings Billie Holidays "Im a Fool to Want you", acapella!!! Then Bang Bang and Gershwins Summertime. Looking forward to the journey with you.
Angelina has the "magic", you are very correct. Thumbs up sir, great reaction and yes I have seen this performance hundreds of times.
Thank you Julio! 😊😊😊🫶
When I first saw this - along with her other NGT performances - I couldn't believe my ears. That has continued throughout her career. She's simply the best! Great reaction!😎
Thank you Mike! 😊👏🫶
Brilliant analysis
Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on TH-cam before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina's mother Sara said in an interview when Angelina was about 11/12 years old, only Angelina chooses the songs and she only sings them the way she imagines.🤗🤗🤗
You should read her book. She wrote in her diary, at 6 years old, her experience with the shoeless girl, which was published 3 years later. What that 6 year old wrote displays a level of intelligence and maturity, and understanding, way beyond her years. I have no doubt that she did in fact know what the song was about, as pointed out by Peter Johansson. But when you are asked in front of a live audience what the song was about, and only have time for a quick answer, what do you say? A sad Sunday.
Your comments came from my mind. I have read her book. The Norwegian T.V. interview where she reads from her diary came from a very advanced little mind.
Steven, that is correct. Sometimes, I think, she has to choose words for the "normal" people to understand. Stay safe and healthy.
Elmar fromm Germany.
Without doubt..she even said so in a later interview but for the life of me I can’t find it..
@@jabecker33 Ann Lindmo, NRK TV, 14 Nov 2015 - th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
When asked where she met the shoeless girl, she replied, I met her in the Middle East, but it could have been just anywhere.
That line alone is incredibly mature and wise, not just for a 9-year-old, but for any ordinary person.
After watching your reaction to Angelina's NGT audition many times, I think another song that she sang as a demo at age 10 will further confirm your understanding. Most likely it's a song you've never heard before (but IMHO one of her best) - I'm Still Holding Out For You. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you Gregory! 👏👏👏

Angelina Jordan I have nothing by Tom Jones 6 years old first time in recording studio ( I Who Have Nothing ) Ben E King What is the original singer English version The song was her than an Italian which means one of many
You know I agree with you!! Music transcends everything, boundaries, borders, everything. I recognize that when I listen to Ennio Morricone's "Deborah's Theme", the first two lines or so and how those beautiful chords can emotionally affect me. Mireille Mathieu recorded the song "Blue Bayou" and someone gave it a negative comment trying to compare it to Linda Ronstadt's version and I fired back, "people who love music DON'T compare like that"!! Music transcends borders. Here is a woman from France who chose a song about the deep south bayous and who loved the music or the lyrics or both to choose this song to sing. Just some of my thoughts anyway.
You are so right! Music is not a competition. If you look for the beauty in things you will find it and why not look for it. You’re life is enriched when you do just that. I can detect negativity so easily when I see it and try to steer clear of it because it’s can infect. I really liked your comment, thank you! 👏👏👏🫶
go back to when she was 6 and in studio singing I Who Have Nothing!
Angel ina
I enjoyed your reaction and comments! I agree with you and think that a big part of what makes Angelina who she is is that she absorbs music (from the emotion, wording, and nuances of a song to the creative environment) with such an efficiency and capacity that what is for her like sipping a drink is for anyone else more like drinking from a firehose.
In a similar way that musicians in-studio lay down individual tracks for the drums, the bass line, and the backup singers, etc., so too can we say that in a sense, songwriters/original artists put an "emotion" track on/in their work. This source is not uniformly listened to or evenly grasped by all singers as some sing almost mechanically, some focus on eye-popping notes or other vocal gymnastics, and still others hardly focus on the singing but stress the visual whether it be an outfit, on-stage dancing, or stunning videography. Some lack the vocal skill to deliver it properly. By contrast, Angelina hears, senses, and understands this emotion track perfectly and delivers it to her listeners unapologetically and powerfully. Not only that but she has absorbed the skills from the many monumental singers and songs that she has covered and so can bring a focused emotional laser (of both feeling and technique) to bear on a project, on a phrase, on a note, even on silence. She has all the necessary artistic and vocal skills to instinctively touch that nerve that runs to our heart. The result is as breathtaking as it is unprecedented.
Well said Ken! 👏👏👏🫶
Wonderful insight .. thank you so so much. PLEASE don't fail to listen to the other three songs she sings in this contest. The next one that comes up is I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU. She sings this very musically complex song a capella .. with all the key changes and complexities totally intact and perfect. If there was ever a question about her being a savant, it should no longer exist. Please please please at least watch that one.
The other two are also worthy .. she sings BANG, BANG next and then a magnificent SUMMERTIME.
I feel sure that after seeing this you will be eager to see the others. I'm so glad you got the version with the translations .. it helps.
Amazing to remember that English is not her native tongue!
Of course, she had been listening to and singing with Billie and Ella and Etta and many others since she was TWO .. with amazing work ethic that she still has when you see the number of videos she has 140ish covers and 5 originals .. but on top of that she has hundreds of tiktoks, all exquisite, all moving and brilliant .. the same with I don't know how many Instagrams she's posted .. where I believe they are like longer tiktoks but also full songs .. she never stops. She lives music day and night.
I remember when she posted her magnificent piece of House of the Rising Sun and her message she wrote was something like "playing around at 5am"
Thanks again for this reaction .. I enjoyed seeing it again .. (including when she first sang it in 2014 and went all over the world, I've probably seen it easily 50 times, including reactions). I hope to see you post the other three sometime soon .. I need to seer them all again. 😊
You are so 100% spot on in your analysis, Angelina absolutely transcends the spoken word. She has the magic, she has said when she closes her eyes and sings, she goes to a place of beauty and she is able to take us there with her incredible vocals! Absolutely love your reactions/analysis of her, can't wait for the next one!
Thank you Thomas! 😊😊😊🫶
That was my first take as well. 7 year old's shouldn't understand Jazz, shouldn't want too, an understanding of music is not supposed to be there. Maybe a voice, a power, but not that. Then I heard Billie Holliday's version and noted she even nailed all the rest, the voice, the technical ability. On top of all this mind blowing stuff from a 7 year old is all her interactions throughout. I saw the one with the interview and stuff leading up to the song as well. The whole video is also maybe the cutest video in world history on top of everything else crazy about it. Loved your reaction.
Smart and sweet reaction, thank you. What one of the judges said, "you are the music" is absolutely true, Angelina uses her music and songs as her first language regardless of how many other languages she speaks. Her musical understanding and her ability to express emotions and concepts with her songs is absolutely transcendental. 💛🧡❤️
Yes!!! 😃👏👏👏🫶
She performed 4 songs for this venture
Jeff, your comments are what most Angels believe. Her ability to capture the essence of a song and deliver it in a way to touch your heart is a talent that few artists can achieve. Many reactors have said she shouldn't be singing songs where she hasn't experienced those feelings and emotions. Well, somehow she seems to be able to take the lyrics of a song and translate them to something she may have experienced. Example, a romantic love song might be translated by Angelina to the love she has for her family. The emotion still comes through. Excellent commentary!!!
Exactly right! I believe that to be the case with her. 👏👏👏🫶
I am not saying that Angelina cannot or does not sometimes internalize a song’s emotions when she sings it, but do not think that is her primary method and I think she does something far more magical than that. Like a painter who has jar full of brushes and a palette full of paints and has studied all the works of the masters who preceded her; I believe that instead of singing notes, Angelina paints a masterful tapestry of emotions with her voice.
@@dojoswitzer Nice analogy! R (Australia)
👍👍😍😍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩
That was one of the best and most original frame of viewpoints I have heard on this performance. Her choice of this song (The Hungarian Suicide Song)to start her career is intriguing, ...'I am at a loss for words here'...
Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on TH-cam before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. "
In a interview after this performance Angelina's mom was asked why she was crying during her performance?? Were they happy tears??
Mom said; " They were happy tears but they were also sad tears because I know I just lost my daughter to the world at that point in time,
Thank you Õle! Great info! 👏👏👏
Yes, your comments are right on. Angelina has always delivered the message so beautifully, even back then. What I’d like to add here is that she’s pretty much channeling Billie Holiday here and in her next audition song, I’m a Fool to Want You-which she delivers a cappella and which will break your heart. But from then on, we get Angelina giving us her own interpretations, even at this age. Bang, Bang and Summertime are unbelievable performances that show even within the duration of NGT show, she developed incredibly and delivered very different genres with her own style. This may sound like heresy from a huge Angelina fan, but I think Gloomy Sunday, startling as it is, was not as good as her other three NGT songs.
I love your honest opinion, thank you for that! 😊👏👏👏🫶
@@StrateleStudios Angelina has at least two versions of I’m a Fool to Want You. The NGT a cappella performance was at 7 (or 8?) years old and perfectly on pitch. It will melt you. th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html Then several years later is Angelina in a recording studio with just amazing vocal skills, recreating the sound, the vocal slides, bluesy timing, and vibe of Billie Holiday. Close your eyes and you’re back to the 1940’s. An amazing example of her complete vocal control. th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
Preceding this NGT performance at age 6, there is a studio session recoded with a camera. Together with that earlier video and these NGT performances, Angelina’s growth from month-to-month is noticeably impressive. (We have the benefit of her tooth growth indicating the time passage.)
Great reaction and intelligent incite. It's wonderful to see a reactor who actually 'gets' Angelina.
Thank you Ron! 😊😊😊
This is her 1st, out of 4, appearance in Norska Talenter, NGT. In the end, Angelina went to the final together with 9 adult participants. She won with 46% of the vote! Incredible!!!
I think your analysis of this performance, and Angelina in general, is the best I have heard. Music goes beyond words. So many of us search for words to describe how her music affects us and how she is able to do it, but language cannot describe the emotions we feel by listening to music. You either have it or you don't. So well said.
Thank you so much Mike! 😊😊😊🤝🫶
I have heard this a hundred times and it always affects me the same as the first time! Why?
Love your reaction... I think you nailed it in regards to her innate ability to comprehend the emotional tapestry of a song, and weave an equally compelling emotion packed tapestry right back at you. Absolutely can not be taught. Looking forward to more reactions. Where will you go next? :)
Thank you Jonathan! 😊😊😊🫶
About Gloomy Sunday: Angelina herself has said, in an interview, that she knew exactly what the song was about! Do not underestimate her! Unfortunately, I do not have the link that proves this, but the evidence is out there in the digital world. She also explained, at the same time, that she is good at the English language. Remember, Angelina is special and much more mature than a normal child.
@High Carb Trucker when Angelina said the song is about a Sad Sunday, she knew exactly what the song was about.
The original title of the song by composer Rezso Seress was "The World is Ending" however when poet Laszlo Javor rewrote the lyrics he titled the song "Sad Sunday". At the time he was very sad, depressed, and wanted to commit suicide following his lover's death. When Sam M. Lewis wrote the English lyrics, he titled the song "Gloomy Sunday"
Angelina in an interview said that she knew what the song was about and for her to say it was about a Sad Sunday tells me that she must have researched the origins of the song and its history and knew exactly what the song was about.
@High Carb Trucker annoyingly I can’t find the interview but she was asked exactly this question when 10 years old..she seemed indignant that the interviewer might think she not understand the songs true meaning..forget normal parameters when dealing with prodigies.
Wow - fantastic reaction! First of all - thank you. Even after hearing her current vocals, you were willing to take us "back to the beginning" - Angelina's audition on NGT. You're correct in acknowledging that most of her fans (like me) have watched this amazing performance more times than we can count & have heard many reactors confirm that Angelina is "an old soul in a young body". But you sir are the 1st reactor that I've heard articulate Angelina's innate GOD given ability to actually emote the essence of the song direct to our hearts & souls - allowing us to deeply FEEL the music as it flows through her. Always look forward to your Angelina reactions. Hope you'll continue with her other 3 NGT performances (I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime). Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you so much Gregory, you really understood what I was trying to articulate. 😊😊😊🤝❤️
She just released a cover of Whitney Houston - I have nothing. It's special
more originals are on the way
Really enjoyed your take on young Angelina. She definitely “gets it” from a young age. I think this young artist is a gift to the world. It’s so fun to watch her development over the years. Can’t wait to see what she does next. Thanks.
Correct, you are witnessing the birth of a star ! It's a beautiful journey of joy and happiness that Angelina is talking us on ! So glad you have joined the millions who are along for this magnificent ride ! The funny thing is that Angelina's last name that she was born with tells us who she really is "A star " That's the truth and a reality that the world will see in the coming years ! Thank you for your continuing support of our barefoot princess as it is so much appreciated ! Keep posting my friend ! 👍☺️🇨🇦❤️
If you chose to watch the four NGT performances in order, the next one is sung a cappella!
(You mentioned the missing teeth. Have you ever heard a child with missing front teeth not speak with a lisp, let alone sing?)
Your reaction focused on exactly what I think is unique in Angelina's music, her great sensitivity to emotions and fantastic ability to convey them through music. She can put us into a state! I've seen reactors time and again melt into the world she creates, whatever the song. Phenomenal. Thanks!

You nailed it, she makes grown men weep. Don't worry about coming up with something original to say about this young lady's talent, she may be the most analyzed singer who ever lived. 😂😂
Fabulous reaction and I agree Angelina's understanding of music at age 7 was likely greater than her understanding of the lyrics. Angelina has said she goes to a different world when she sings. She says that world is unending and filled with happiness.
Your reaction was sincere and enjoyable, but please remember to elevate your support for aspiring young artists like Angelina that you appreciate, as it will create more subscriptions and fan loyalty. Encourage your viewers to like, comment, and subscribe to links you provide for Angelina's and your channels. Equal attention to both! This includes the original video as well as the official Channel and cover Channel. Thank you for already providing the original video link. Young aspiring artists need and deserve your support for their algorithm and career. Many fans including myself will be more likely to subscribe to your channel when you implement these guidelines for Angelina and other young artists. Thank you for all you do.
I absolutely agree, what Angelina has is not about her personally feeling the emotion evoked by the original singer, but it is about her ability to create music that touches the listener now in a way similar to the listener who heard the original music. (And there is so much more.)
I really like what you've added to the Angelina conversation here, Jeff. I think an essential element to Angelina's artistic genius is her emotional intelligence, which is undoubtedly off the charts. I don't know if you've seen this video of Angelina 'singing' at age one and a half, but to me it's one of the most remarkable videos of her that we have because I think it is evidence that she was born with this remarkable degree of emotional intelligence: th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html
Nice, you were able to make the video start at the appropriate time!
Not just her understanding of the feeling of the song,
but you left out how she is able to express it and make us feel it.
Simply incomprehensible.
Thought I covered that by mentioning how she made the judges feel 🤷🏻♂️
Please 🥺 react to Angelina Jordon STILL HOLDING OUT TO YOU Ashe was 12 or 10
Yeah brother Jeff. So sultry for a youngster. Etta James reincarnated
She knew exactly what’s the deep meaning of the song was..she was interviewed aged 10 or 11 dating exactly that..that she did know it’s true meaning…she was slightly indignant at the question.
She could not possibly deliver the mood if she has never felt it...so she did, not in this lifetime , in many others.
You missed the first version from 2016. Search TH-cam for "Dimash-Ария Дивы Плавалагуны"

Beautifully put! You should definitely watch her other performances in the same competition, particularly her rendition of Summertime: th-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/w-d-xo.html
