Singer REACTS to 7 YEAR OLD Angelina Jordan singing Gloomy Sunday on Norway's Got Talent! She absolutely killed it and is so incredible, I'm so shocked that she's only 7 years old!!!! It blows my mind!!!

The blonde woman watching on the monitor is Angelina's mom Sara. She said she knew then she was going to have to share her daughter with the world. Angelina's next NGT performance was "I'm A Fool To Want You" sung a cappella... well worth watching.
👍👍 That blonde lady was Angelina's mom (Sarah),, in a interview right after this performance she was asked why she was crying during her daughter's performance?? Mom replied, "they were happy tears cuz my daughter fulfilled one of her dreams and they were also sad tears cuz that's when I realized that I just lost my daughter to the world,, But she was totally wrong on that,, she didn't loose her daughter to the world instead the world became part of the family,, 👣🌬🌎
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. " Mother Sarah Astar watching from backstage. When asked the why the tears she replied 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,'
Young child who speaks three languages plays four instruments sings as no other child ever has , practices four to six hours per day of her own volition. Driven, obsessive. Mother trying to slow her down to no avail as Angelina wants more. In after school program taking music and music theory lessons along with learning piano, violin and flute. Speaking Norwegian, Persian and English fluently. Also learning to paint, recording her activities in her diary. What can be said? Prodigy, genius as she is choosing her own music. Arranging the songs and cajoling the band members to do it her way. By the way she is very good at math. A wonderment of the universe, and yes she is adorable. She knows where she is going and why. At six she was thinking and recording adult thoughts and wondering about the why’s of life. She is on a mission and is aware of its meaning. She had already stated it a year earlier.
The blonde woman backstage is Angelina's mom (and "protector," guarding Angelina's childhood and supporting her every way she can). Angelina's "team" -- even from this age -- includes her mom, grandma (Mery Zamani, who largely takes care of her "style," or look, as well as taking photos & videos), and her uncle (Michael Astar, her manager & agent). Now, of course, she has Republic Records behind her (especially Rob Christie, her piano accompanist and A&R liaison). Angelina wrote "Shield" to acknowledge the support of her family, who moved with her from Oslo to LA when Angelina was 12 so she could pursue her music career in the "capital" of the entertainment industry. She's not just incredibly talented, but incredibly fortunate to have always had such a strong family and support team behind her.
Angelina's Mom is the gorgeous blond (no I'm not stalking her 😘). How 's school? Tell Sean, had no idea he was a player. I can see he can shoot but how is his handles ( he will understand)? My son plays travel ball (shameless parent brag). Look forward to your next ...
The first thing I noticed was her confidence. You can see what separates her from all others. She knows what she likes, she practices relentlessly, and because it matters, you get a phenomenal finished product. She simply loves what she does.
Angelina is a Jazz singer & she learned from the the best Jazz singers of Jazz & music history. Angelina immersed herself in TH-cam video's of these Icons starting at 3-4 yrs old guided by her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani an artist and child prodigy in her own right. Her first Idol was Billie Holliday who she started with on her journey to the stage at Norway's Got Talent. She opened with 'Gloomy Sunday' which she inhabited and absolutely infused Billie into the song. The similarities are incredible. She followed with another Billie classic singing 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella pitch perfect and infused with the same Billie Holiday essence. I've heard this performance backed by the original music and it's like Billie Holiday was like Billie was singing through a child voice. A beautiful child voice. This is an Iconic performance and will alway be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... Not to be morbid but when I'm lying in my deathbed I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
She told once, Billie Holiday found her one night, when she was surfing for new jazz songs with the tablet of her mother. Her mother wasn't happy with this sad song, but Angelina loves the Melody. She delivers a beautiful version of this notorious suicide Song 💞
Omer the youngest of the judges became friends of AJ's family and AJ he recently introduced her singing to his very long time friend Michael Jackson's mother. There is a recent video of him talking to an interviewer about his relationship to AJ's family.
Great reaction, Andrea, as usual. Listen to AJ's later performances on NGT -- "Bang, Bang" and "Summertime" -- her confidence and ability grow remarkably between performances. "Summertime" may be her best overall performance ever given her age.
Judge asking: ”Do you know what the song is about” being aware that the Billie Holliday recording was banned from several radio stations (I think BBC was one of them) since the song reportedly caused people to commit suicide. Quite a song for a seven year old to audition with!
Angelina touches your soul, and sings with real emotions, which is astonishing. Your reactions prove that, as being touched by her is a great thing. With all the bad stuff going on in the world, Angelina is the refuge we can seek, and pass it on to others. Happy Memorial Day.
You should listen to a min or two of the original and you'll understand (It is exactly the same!) The delivery as well. You should here the othe three performances that won her this event! English is not her first and she delivers Jazz as if she invented it! Blondie is her mom.
Did they change the lyrics, like they often did with some songs later on? In the first couple of lines it sounds like she sings "I live with my mobellay" and I think the original is "I live with my man".
Thank you for your sincere reaction to Angelina and I look forward to your next one. There is an earlier version of a performance a year earlier in the studio of I who have nothing! We should share Angelina's gift with everyone we know! She is here to inspire us to be the best we can, and she certainly has done that for me. She has influenced how I view life, and to appreciate the beauty around us, including music. I am dedicated to paying it forward. I listen to her because it enlightens me to know there is hope and promise for our youth. Angelina vows to spread peace and love to the world through her music, and the world needs her now. My passion currently is to help support and promote her so that she will soon be able to use her influence toward her worthy cause of healing. With your platform, you have the power to help advance Angelina's career and humanitarian goals, as well as your own! Since most viewers do not know how to support you or the artist, may I suggest encouraging your fans to like, comment, and subscribe to yours and Angelina's original video and official Channel links that you supply in your description, if you have not already done so. By setting the example, you and your fans will receive the credit you deserve with analytics, and Angelina will soon be in a position to make our world a better placel Peace and love.

These encompass additional performances to those on her channels. m.th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
As usual I love your reactions, so real & honest. Amazing how into this song at such a young age. Who does this? Well thanks for your delightful presence as you are so easy on the eyes…
I'm a very old [ almost ancient ] jazz fan. I've watched most of her videos. This was maybe the third one I watched. She sang with such fearless confidence and style it brought tears to my eyes.She had a real sense of who she was, what she wanted to do and how to do it, not in an arrogant way but, like " this is me folks".....gave you a clear inkling of things to come,
So it begins, Angelina's first time on a big stage, covering one of the most tragic songs in music history. Angelina's version almost sounds like a lullaby. Andrea, many thanks for reacting again to Angelina as it will introduce her to new people. Please encourage your viewers to use the link you provided to watch, like and comment on the original video and to subscribe to her Official TH-cam channel. I encourage all Angelina fans to do the same for your videos. Both the reactor and the artist should benefit.
Even at 7 she had a raspy voice. She did have a fabulous voice back then and is singing with confidence. Just loved her performance!! Thanks for sharing.
She gave 4 incredible performances on this show. Her understanding of the music is ridiculous for a young child. You know she's special the minute you hear her. 😎
Thank you for react to this performance. If you want to see progression, you have to watch her other 3 performances after this one. Her second song is " I'm a fool to want you " acapella and then " Bang Bang" and the last one" Summertime". She turned 8 during the competition. You will not believe her improvement over the 4 songs.
I really appreciate your analysis of this phenomenal performance by Angelina. Do you know that she speaks several languages. I do not know this from personal experience, but many have pointed this out. There is an explanation: Her father is Swedish, her grandmother is from Iran and her grandfather was from Japan. Sara, Angelina's mother, lived for a time in Japan with her parents. Angelina was born in Norway but has spent part of her upbringing in the United States. Etc .... She has thus heard / practiced the following languages during her upbringing: Norwegian, Swedish, English, Farsi, A little Japanese.
Andrea. Are we looking at what your 7 year old daughter would look like? (hmmm..) The blonde lady is Angelina's mother. She was crying because she realized that she just lost her daughter to the world.
Angelina doesn't do big moments or special effects. She just sings the song like it is supposed to be sung. If the song needs a big moment she'll give it a big moment. Otherwise she'll do whatever makes the song perfect. Listen to her on the rooftop singing Every Time We Say Goodbye and you'll see what I mean. No bells or whistles but no one could sing it any better.
Wonderful reaction Andrea & comments. You still have 3 more performances from the show & you see/hear her growth in them too. (What Angie said about “Gloomy Sunday” choice) “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.” (Sara, Angie's mom was asked what she thought when she saw her on the screen backstage, (she was wiping her tears when watching) “I knew I had just lost my little girl to the world”) The family has always been very close & since that even more protective of her from the entertainment industry’s vultures & hyena's. From TIME magazine This 7-Year Old's Incredible Voice Will Give You Chills as She Channels Billie Holiday BY MELISSA LOCKER MARCH 10, 2014 11:59 AM EDT A 7-year-old girl managed to absolutely wow the judges on a televised talent show with her spot-on rendition of Billy Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” The youngster, Angelina Jordan, appeared on the stage of “Norway’s Got Talent”, barefoot and in a white dress, and announced that she would be be singing Holiday’s dark jazz standard. The skeptical judges were blown away from the moment she started singing. You might want to start from the very beginning were it all started. “I, who have nothing” by Ben E. King & covered by Tom Jones & Shirley Bassey. She’s 6 in a sound booth at her school. th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html “I’m a fool to want you” cover by Billie Holiday she was 7 just turned 8 NGT quarter finals Judges cut.(a capella & haunting) th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html “Bang Bang” cover by Nancy Sinatra she’s 8 NGT semi finals th-cam.com/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/w-d-xo.html “Summertime” by George Gershwin th-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/w-d-xo.html Finals on NGT & she’s 8 here
There are 4 NGT performances, beginning with Angelina paying homage to Billie Holiday with her arrangement of "Gloomy Sunday" (NGT 1) as reacted to in this video. I provided a link to the complete (NGT 1) audition, including her back stage interview. NGT 2 is her singing Frank Sinatra's "I'm a Fool to Want You" before a judge's elimination panel. She sang this completely in acapella. NGT 3 was televised/live audience performance of Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang, Bang". NGT 4 is her final performance, with Angelina singing "Summertime" (Gershwin). If you only have time to listen to one of the NGT performances, I believe that NGT 4 is the one to watch, as her voice continues to improve (and her missing permanent tooth has grown in). You'll be able to better compare her other performances from 8-11, as well as to her 160+ covers and 5 originals. If you have time for 2, watch NGT4 and NGT 1, her audition. Of the videos I've listed only NGT 1 and NGT 4 have English subtitles or CC. For NGT 4, her "Summertime performance is preceded by a NGT Spotlight on Angelina. Immediately after her performance, the third segment begins with the judges speaking to Angelina about how she's impacted each of them. Many of their comments are prescient. The 4th segment is about her being named the winner, begins at the 8 min mark and lasts for almost 5 minutes. Most reactors clip this part off. *NGT 1 - "GLOOMY SUNDAY" (pre/post performance w/English subtitles) - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html NGT 2 - (judge's panel of this reaction) NGT 3 - "BANG BANG" cover of Nancy Sinatra's rendition - th-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/w-d-xo.html *NGT 4 - "SUMMERTIME" (spotlights Angelina, pre/post performance, winning NGT, w/English CC) - th-cam.com/video/zN4kAof1is0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Andrea for reacting to the always amazing Angelina Jordan. The blonde lady that you referred to is Angelina’s mother. Here is an interview with Angelina’s mother after Angelica won at the finals. th-cam.com/video/OP1ZUeCrbMI/w-d-xo.html Thank you again for your reaction videos and for your own music.
She is in the Zone. For fun do the next 3 Norway performances in 1 reaction, in order with captions. I'm a Fool to Want You, Bang Bang and Summertime. 10 min and you can see her progression.
After this round there was a break of several months then she comes back to kill 'Bang Bang' and 'Summertime' in the later rounds which sealed her win on the show, both definitely worth a watch.
Great reaction and you should watch the other performances from NGT, "I'm a Fool to Want You"(acapella), "Bang Bang", and finished and won with "Summertime", 45% of the votes. The blond was her mother, God Bless!
The blonde woman is her mother. You should look at her performance of "Summertime" on Norway's Got Talent, and her accapella version of "I'm a fool to want you," on that same show!!!!
Now that you've started it, you should have a look at the other performances. Next is "Im a fool to want you": th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful reaction to one of the most mind blowing performance from this amazing talent. She touches the deepest part of my heart with the way she pulls you into the feeling of the song, incredible unique ability now and even then. Her Summertime and Bang Bang performances from the same show are just as brilliant and a must. Please keep her reactions coming. And when do we get something new from your beautiful voice?
This blew me away when I first saw it. Even now it amazes me. Most Europeans also learn English while in school. The blonde woman in the back is her mother. Her next piece in the competition was another Billie Holiday----I'm a Fool to Want You, sung without any accompaniment, which showed her perfect pitch, etc. Check it out. The next song was "Bang Bang" and her last song was another jazz piece, the well known "Summertime." She won that competition (right after turning 8) with 46% of the vote! 💜
This was her first video to go viral. If no one suggested it must be because they assumed you would have had many suggestions for this already. The big three are Gloomy Sunday, Bohemian Rhapsody and I Put a Spell on you! I enjoy your Angelina reactions. Thx 🍁
This was by far your best reaction to Angelina. Like Angelina, you were in the moment. For me, every time I review any of her songs, I pick up something new. It is so much fun following her. Keep it up... you are really coming into your own.
Hello again Andrea, and thank you very much for a very beautiful reaction :-) If you're interested, I'll give you the links for her other three performances, in chronologial order. Needless to say, they are all great. Here they are : 1) I'm A Fool To Want You (acapella performance, and also originally by Billie Holiday) : th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html 2) Bang Bang (originally written by Sonny Bono in 1966 and performed by his wife Cher, but maybe made MOST popular by Nancy Sinatra) : th-cam.com/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/w-d-xo.html 3) Summertime (by George Gershwin) This was her final performance in the competition : th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html I hope you find the time to react to these :-) Love from Norway :-)
Her growth was phenomenal as she progressed through NGT. You really should see the other three -in order. [you could do all three in one reaction] [and some have translation captions too] You will really be amazed at the birth of this talent! Really, do the other three!
Yes she was adorable absolutely adorable so somebody had requested that you listen to I'm a fool to want you and she singing this a cappella by herself perfect pitch too so I'll send you the link and then yeah I'll send you a link when she's like three years older at a recording studio with her grandma filmingth-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html Singing Same song four years laterth-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
Now that you have gone back to her beginnings, you should check out the rest of her NGT performances. After this one she did "I'm a Fool to Want You" (acapella), "Bang Bang", and "Summertime". All of them are so good... good enough in fact to win the whole show at just 8 years old. You can search them out, or you can just get them from the beginning of this chronological playlist I have been building over the years.... th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
This is the song that she sang at 7 and had people believing that Billie Holiday, the original artist who performed it, was reincarnated into this little girl. If you listen to them both for comparison, you will believe one singer did both versions. Angelina has proved through the ensuing years that she is a 'vocal chameleon', able to emulate the vocals of many A-List singers in different genres of music.
everybody please stop obsessing about her age. do you think she's the only one at this age who could do this. evidently you haven't seen prodigy opera singers at her age. I have, because I'm open to all talented people
AngeLina's GrandMother Sang Her Songs n Norwegian but AngeLina Sang it Bac 2 Her n EngLish. At 18 months yrs if Age You Tube has AngeLina hoLding a Microphone Singing Whitney Houston Song in EngLish . That's Crazy & the Reason her GrandFather reaLized AngeLina was a chiLd Prodigy. The bLonde hair Lady is AngeLina's Mother👍👋🍷🍾🍹🍺
Andrea, there's only one sure way to see just how good Angelina is singing this song. This video is put together so you can hear both Angelina and Billie sing at the same time. It's unbelievable just how good Angelina is : th-cam.com/video/H_5_AT_N-pg/w-d-xo.html The song is about suicide, that is why that one male judge asked her if she knew what it was about. When he realized she didn't, he seemed pleased.
I recommend "I feel good," at age 10 (th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html)-- one of her all-time best Also please react to "Summertime" and "I'm a fool to want you," from Norway's Got Talent (the last one is accapella). Also some of her orignals are amazing (I suggest "What is Life" the one with the piano player and saxophonist, and "Millions Miles" about the death of her grandfather. The blonde woman who hugs her is her mom. She also has a little sister she adores and who adroes her (you can see her in her video "Valerie" Love your reactions!!! And your own singing too!
Singer REACTS to 7 YEAR OLD Angelina Jordan singing Gloomy Sunday on Norway's Got Talent! She absolutely killed it and is so incredible, I'm so shocked that she's only 7 years old!!!! It blows my mind!!! Anyways, let me know if there's anymore Angelina I should react to :)

And your killing it in that purple top, suits you very well, beautiful.
And that was mama, the blonde losing it, or as some have said she has said, realizing in that moment she was losing Angelina to the world.
You got the most beautiful face
"You A R E music!"
Pretty much sums it up
The blond person that was crying is her mom, not to be confused with another blond that is a host of the show.
The blonde woman watching on the monitor is Angelina's mom Sara. She said she knew then she was going to have to share her daughter with the world. Angelina's next NGT performance was "I'm A Fool To Want You" sung a cappella... well worth watching.
👍👍
That blonde lady was Angelina's mom (Sarah),, in a interview right after this performance she was asked why she was crying during her daughter's performance??
Mom replied, "they were happy tears cuz my daughter fulfilled one of her dreams and they were also sad tears cuz that's when I realized that I just lost my daughter to the world,,
But she was totally wrong on that,, she didn't loose her daughter to the world instead the world became part of the family,,

Just her progression from this first song to her "Summertime" finale in this contest is staggering. Her front tooth comes in. They grow up so fast....
She told once, Billie Holiday found her one night, when she was surfing for new jazz songs with the tablet of her mother. Her mother wasn't happy with this sad song, but Angelina loves the Melody.
She delivers a beautiful version of this notorious suicide Song 💞
Nothing selfish about watching these performances. You really should watch the others: Bang bang blows my mind.
great reaction, the blonde woman is Angelina's mother, and today they look like twins......
Omer the youngest of the judges became friends of AJ's family and AJ he recently introduced her singing to his very long time friend Michael Jackson's mother. There is a recent video of him talking to an interviewer about his relationship to AJ's family.
a lot of mothers around the world are watching thier daughters do this with amazing vocals who never tried out for a contest. I salute them all.
Great reaction, Andrea, as usual. Listen to AJ's later performances on NGT -- "Bang, Bang" and "Summertime" -- her confidence and ability grow remarkably between performances. "Summertime" may be her best overall performance ever given her age.
thanks!
Judge asking: ”Do you know what the song is about” being aware that the Billie Holliday recording was banned from several radio stations (I think BBC was one of them) since the song reportedly caused people to commit suicide. Quite a song for a seven year old to audition with!
Yes. Hungarian suicide song.
Angelina touches your soul, and sings with real emotions, which is astonishing. Your reactions prove that, as being touched by her is a great thing. With all the bad stuff going on in the world, Angelina is the refuge we can seek, and pass it on to others.
Happy Memorial Day.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The blonde person is her mom.
You should listen to a min or two of the original and you'll understand (It is exactly the same!) The delivery as well. You should here the othe three performances that won her this event! English is not her first and she delivers Jazz as if she invented it! Blondie is her mom.
Did they change the lyrics, like they often did with some songs later on?
In the first couple of lines it sounds like she sings "I live with my mobellay" and I think the original is "I live with my man".
Thank you for your sincere reaction to Angelina and I look forward to your next one. There is an earlier version of a performance a year earlier in the studio of I who have nothing!
We should share Angelina's gift with everyone we know! She is here to inspire us to be the best we can, and she certainly has done that for me. She has influenced how I view life, and to appreciate the beauty around us, including music. I am dedicated to paying it forward. I listen to her because it enlightens me to know there is hope and promise for our youth. Angelina vows to spread peace and love to the world through her music, and the world needs her now. My passion currently is to help support and promote her so that she will soon be able to use her influence toward her worthy cause of healing.

As usual I love your reactions, so real & honest. Amazing how into this song at such a young age. Who does this?
Well thanks for your delightful presence
as you are so easy on the eyes…
Yes, here in Norway we speak norwegian - and sami language what I do besides of norwegian.
I'm a very old [ almost ancient ] jazz fan. I've watched most of her videos. This was maybe the third one I watched. She sang with such fearless confidence and style it brought tears to my eyes.She had a real sense of who she was, what she wanted to do and how to do it, not in an arrogant way but, like " this is me folks".....gave you a clear inkling of things to come,
The blonde woman back stage was her mom.
So it begins, Angelina's first time on a big stage, covering one of the most tragic songs in music history. Angelina's version almost sounds like a lullaby. Andrea, many thanks for reacting again to Angelina as it will introduce her to new people. Please encourage your viewers to use the link you provided to watch, like and comment on the original video and to subscribe to her Official TH-cam channel. I encourage all Angelina fans to do the same for your videos. Both the reactor and the artist should benefit.
ty!
Even at 7 she had a raspy voice. She did have a fabulous voice back then and is singing with confidence. Just loved her performance!! Thanks for sharing.
agreed!! so good :) thanks for watching Joe!
Oh Thank you! This is the 1st one that I saw of her and it is mind boggling.
she is so talented! thanks for watching
most people forget that she is singing in her 3rd or 4th language at 7 years old, absolutely remarkable.
She gave 4 incredible performances on this show. Her understanding of the music is ridiculous for a young child. You know she's special the minute you hear her. 😎
so crazy!
Thank you for react to this performance. If you want to see progression, you have to watch her other 3 performances after this one. Her second song is " I'm a fool to want you " acapella and then " Bang Bang" and the last one" Summertime". She turned 8 during the competition. You will not believe her improvement over the 4 songs.
I really appreciate your analysis of this phenomenal performance by Angelina. Do you know that she speaks several languages. I do not know this from personal experience, but many have pointed this out. There is an explanation: Her father is Swedish, her grandmother is from Iran and her grandfather was from Japan. Sara, Angelina's mother, lived for a time in Japan with her parents. Angelina was born in Norway but has spent part of her upbringing in the United States. Etc .... She has thus heard / practiced the following languages during her upbringing: Norwegian, Swedish, English, Farsi, A little Japanese.
ooo very nice! thanks so much for watching :)
Andrea. Are we looking at what your 7 year old daughter would look like? (hmmm..) The blonde lady is Angelina's mother. She was crying because she realized that she just lost her daughter to the world.
hi beautiful Andrea, the blonde person is her mother
now you have to hear the original Billy Holiday version....Soo much alike....
Angelina doesn't do big moments or special effects. She just sings the song like it is supposed to be sung. If the song needs a big moment she'll give it a big moment. Otherwise she'll do whatever makes the song perfect. Listen to her on the rooftop singing Every Time We Say Goodbye and you'll see what I mean. No bells or whistles but no one could sing it any better.
Wonderful reaction Andrea & comments. You still have 3 more performances from the
show & you see/hear her growth in them too. (What Angie said about “Gloomy Sunday” choice)
“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.” (Sara, Angie's mom was asked what she
thought when
she saw her on the screen backstage, (she was wiping her tears when watching) “I knew
I had just lost my little girl to the world”) The family has always been very close & since
that even more protective of her from the entertainment industry’s vultures & hyena's.

This 7-Year Old's Incredible Voice Will Give You Chills as She Channels Billie Holiday
BY MELISSA LOCKER MARCH 10, 2014 11:59 AM EDT
A 7-year-old girl managed to absolutely wow the judges on a televised talent show with
her spot-on rendition of Billy Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” The youngster, Angelina
Jordan, appeared on the stage of “Norway’s Got Talent”, barefoot and in a white dress,
and announced that she would be be singing Holiday’s dark jazz standard. The skeptical judges were blown away from the moment she started singing.
You might want to start from the very beginning were it all started.
“I, who have nothing” by Ben E. King & covered by Tom Jones & Shirley Bassey. She’s 6 in
a sound booth at her school. th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
“I’m a fool to want you” cover by Billie Holiday she was 7 just turned 8 NGT quarter finals Judges cut.(a capella & haunting) th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html
“Bang Bang” cover by Nancy Sinatra she’s 8 NGT semi finals th-cam.com/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/w-d-xo.html
“Summertime” by George Gershwin th-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/w-d-xo.html Finals on NGT & she’s 8 here
ty for watching!
There are 4 NGT performances, beginning with Angelina paying homage to Billie Holiday with her arrangement of "Gloomy Sunday" (NGT 1) as reacted to in this video. I provided a link to the complete (NGT 1) audition, including her back stage interview. NGT 2 is her singing Frank Sinatra's "I'm a Fool to Want You" before a judge's elimination panel. She sang this completely in acapella. NGT 3 was televised/live audience performance of Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang, Bang". NGT 4 is her final performance, with Angelina singing "Summertime" (Gershwin).
If you only have time to listen to one of the NGT performances, I believe that NGT 4 is the one to watch, as her voice continues to improve (and her missing permanent tooth has grown in). You'll be able to better compare her other performances from 8-11, as well as to her 160+ covers and 5 originals. If you have time for 2, watch NGT4 and NGT 1, her audition. Of the videos I've listed only NGT 1 and NGT 4 have English subtitles or CC.
For NGT 4, her "Summertime performance is preceded by a NGT Spotlight on Angelina. Immediately after her performance, the third segment begins with the judges speaking to Angelina about how she's impacted each of them. Many of their comments are prescient. The 4th segment is about her being named the winner, begins at the 8 min mark and lasts for almost 5 minutes. Most reactors clip this part off.

Thank you Andrea for reacting to the always amazing Angelina Jordan.
The blonde lady that you referred to is Angelina’s mother. Here is an interview with Angelina’s mother after Angelica won at the finals.

Thank you again for your reaction videos and for your own music.
thanks for watching David!
She is in the Zone.
For fun do the next 3 Norway performances in 1 reaction, in order with captions.
I'm a Fool to Want You, Bang Bang and Summertime. 10 min and you can see her progression.
oo thanks!
After this round there was a break of several months then she comes back to kill
'Bang Bang' and 'Summertime' in the later rounds which sealed her win on the show, both definitely worth a watch.
added to the list!
Great reaction and you should watch the other performances from NGT, "I'm a Fool to Want You"(acapella), "Bang Bang", and finished and won with "Summertime", 45% of the votes. The blond was her mother, God Bless!
added to the list! thanks
The blonde woman is her mother. You should look at her performance of "Summertime" on Norway's Got Talent, and her accapella version of "I'm a fool to want you," on that same show!!!!
Now that you've started it, you should have a look at the other performances. Next is "Im a fool to want you": th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful reaction to one of the most mind blowing performance from this amazing talent. She touches the deepest part of my heart with the way she pulls you into the feeling of the song, incredible unique ability now and even then. Her Summertime and Bang Bang performances from the same show are just as brilliant and a must. Please keep her reactions coming. And when do we get something new from your beautiful voice?
This blew me away when I first saw it. Even now it amazes me. Most Europeans also learn English while in school. The blonde woman in the back is her mother. Her next piece in the competition was another Billie Holiday----I'm a Fool to Want You, sung without any accompaniment, which showed her perfect pitch, etc. Check it out. The next song was "Bang Bang" and her last song was another jazz piece, the well known "Summertime." She won that competition (right after turning 8) with 46% of the vote! 💜
This was her first video to go viral. If no one suggested it must be because they assumed you would have had many suggestions for this already. The big three are Gloomy Sunday, Bohemian Rhapsody and I Put a Spell on you! I enjoy your Angelina reactions. Thx 🍁
thanks!
Thanks for the reactions , the light hairy person is here mother .
This was by far your best reaction to Angelina. Like Angelina, you were in the moment. For me, every time I review any of her songs, I pick up something new. It is so much fun following her. Keep it up... you are really coming into your own.
thanks so much Jim! appreciate it a lot
Now we just need the hidden tapes of 7 year old Andrea singing 😉
haha oh my
yes, she was cute, but she is extremely beutiful nowadays:)
Hello again Andrea, and thank you very much for a very beautiful reaction :-)
If you're interested, I'll give you the links for her other three performances, in chronologial order. Needless to say, they are all great. Here they are :
1) I'm A Fool To Want You (acapella performance, and also originally by Billie Holiday) : th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
2) Bang Bang (originally written by Sonny Bono in 1966 and performed by his wife Cher, but maybe made MOST popular by Nancy Sinatra) : th-cam.com/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/w-d-xo.html
3) Summertime (by George Gershwin) This was her final performance in the competition : th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html
I hope you find the time to react to these :-) Love from Norway :-)
thanks!
She won Norway gotalant
Her growth was phenomenal as she progressed through NGT. You really should see the other three -in order. [you could do all three in one reaction] [and some have translation captions too] You will really be amazed at the birth of this talent! Really, do the other three!
Yes she was adorable absolutely adorable so somebody had requested that you listen to I'm a fool to want you and she singing this a cappella by herself perfect pitch too so I'll send you the link and then yeah I'll send you a link when she's like three years older at a recording studio with her grandma filmingth-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html Singing Same song four years laterth-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html
How about doing a reaction to the cutest video on TH-cam!?
"Angelina sings for her little sister" at age 8 th-cam.com/video/q-esPeHV_gE/w-d-xo.html
If you watch the Billie Holiday recording of this you'll be even more impressed! She really echoes Billie!
I have no words ❤️
same );
If you've never heard Billie Holiday sing this you should. Then you will blown away how much Angelina sounds like Billie.
A good 80% of Swedes and Norwegians are fluent in English, and Angelina grew up bilingual, plus a good helping of Iranian, and more
Now that you have gone back to her beginnings, you should check out the rest of her NGT performances. After this one she did "I'm a Fool to Want You" (acapella), "Bang Bang", and "Summertime". All of them are so good... good enough in fact to win the whole show at just 8 years old. You can search them out, or you can just get them from the beginning of this chronological playlist I have been building over the years.... th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
This is the song that she sang at 7 and had people believing that Billie
Holiday, the original artist who performed it, was reincarnated into this
little girl. If you listen to them both for comparison, you will believe one
singer did both versions. Angelina has proved through the ensuing years
that she is a 'vocal chameleon', able to emulate the vocals of many A-List
singers in different genres of music.
everybody please stop obsessing about her age. do you think she's the only one at this age who could do this. evidently you haven't seen prodigy opera singers at her age. I have, because I'm open to all talented people
Just to let you know Andrea, lot's of ppl from the Scandinavian countries speak English. Quite common i've been told.

AngeLina's GrandMother Sang Her Songs n Norwegian but AngeLina Sang it Bac 2 Her n EngLish. At 18 months yrs if Age You Tube has AngeLina hoLding a Microphone Singing Whitney Houston Song in EngLish . That's Crazy & the Reason her GrandFather reaLized AngeLina was a chiLd Prodigy. The bLonde hair Lady is AngeLina's Mother👍👋🍷🍾🍹🍺
Andrea, there's only one sure way to see just how good Angelina is singing this song. This video is put together so you can hear both Angelina and Billie sing at the same time. It's unbelievable just how good Angelina is : th-cam.com/video/H_5_AT_N-pg/w-d-xo.html
The song is about suicide, that is why that one male judge asked her if she knew what it was about. When he realized she didn't, he seemed pleased.
Hey Andrea, a request, please react to "Bol Hu" Nescafe basement song.
I recommend "I feel good," at age 10 (th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html)-- one of her all-time best Also please react to "Summertime" and "I'm a fool to want you," from Norway's Got Talent (the last one is accapella). Also some of her orignals are amazing (I suggest "What is Life" the one with the piano player and saxophonist, and "Millions Miles" about the death of her grandfather. The blonde woman who hugs her is her mom. She also has a little sister she adores and who adroes her (you can see her in her video "Valerie" Love your reactions!!! And your own singing too!
the blond is her mother
