I'm 73, I'm glad I got to see and hear her in my life time. Jazz lives on!

[@tomwhite4736]

She's a smasher she really is, every little apprehensive look and yet so confident mum can't believe it neither can the band . 😊

[@andyschnell58]

Born to provide us with music on a level we have never experienced before.

[@captainkip4624]

I believe that we are witnessing a once in a generation talent. This child has been blessed by the hand of God. Peace and Calm Seas... ✌🛥

[@cupiddstunt]

Angelina is Angelina and you want to demean that by suggesting some mythical entity has some say in it. Fine so tell me which of the 2,000 plus deities that supposedly exist in this world had a hand in this little girls singing.

[@honda86tb]

There’s nothing more heart warming than a happy child.

[@kathernterry2628]

She has enough confidence to tell these grown men what she needs from them. Love it!

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

why the heck does she have to fear them lol

[@millieo7155]

I get stunned to ponder what she must know about music to do that. In one of her early videos she writes a long note and gives it to the mixer. The confidence she has to do that. She takes lessons in piano and flute, and she was strumming a guitar in one video.

[@millieo7155]

I watch their faces. Sometimes they can't quite believe her either. How fortunate they are to play with her.

[@ripsumrall8018]

And they have confidence in her. They know she's right.

[@103mrg]

@@millieo7155 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbQaKd9p898gc0 This is Angelina's live version of It's a Man's World. At :20 look at the second clarinetest smiling and nodding as if to say: "yup, she's that good!" Then at about 2:44, look at the conductor turn her way, smile and shake his head." After her performance, notice how the band applauded her.....I think those are all good indicators of how fortunate they feel to play with her.

[@paulinacarlisle7389]

my life is different and better now that I know this amazing human being exists... I can't get enough of her voice. She is clearly an old soul ... not a "kid star" ...she is something entirely different, and to hear her means to never ever be able to forget her.. I share her videos with everyone I know so they don't have to be deprived of the joy of listening to her !!!!

[@sulatlalaki]

Me, too! 100%

[@michaelstaub8690]

Most kids of her age can't even sit still more than 20 seconds on a piece. She controls and commands her drift and way of interpretation of any song, sometimes five people sometimes an entire band of 35 musicians. And not ever getting nervous.

[@christinatsakiroudi7989]

What a genius... God bless that girl and her family. Cause she is the carrier of your love with her singing.

[@leebrn8588]

This young girl is incredible. I watch everything she puts out, and just can't get enough... Nothing I ever heard on the voice, or American idol, or AGT comes close to this talented little musical genius. Please God, take good care of your littlest Angel

[@edwinrivera5068]

She has captivated my heart, soul, and spirit since her mum, and grandparents introduced her to me and the world ON NORWAY GOT TALENT..And I think she was 5 or 6 yrs old, Angelina has such a Great supportive family..Lol

[@rover790]

I am exactly the same. I am captivated by her and her amazing voice and listen to her every day, even though I have never constantly listened to music.

[@rickgeissal6953]

[@lo5951]

Pareil pour moi depuis que je l'ai découverte il y a quelques semaines. Je suis totalement subjuguée et plus que ça. C'est un sentiment étrange que je n'ai jamais connu de toute ma vie (62 ans). Merci à elle ! ❤

[@pablopoblano4060]

What a treat to see Angelina practicing a such difficult song. Yet she asks questions respectfully. But pointing to the way to do it. A treasure to enjoy. Her tone of voice is impacting.

[@berniescott6481]

She's so aware of every single instrument ,always,she's scary brilliant!!

[@tm13tube]

agreed

[@genevapriest6190]

"Scary brilliant!!!" Apt term.

[@svennastorm]

Or as I said to myself; that's terrible good... (a positive negative I think it's called) Actually getting goosebumps.. 😃👍

[@TheLibran38]

she probably "sees"/feels music like we see colors, so it probably just comes naturally to her

[@GerisseDiLaire]

If you see this video without audio you think "What is a little girl doing in a room with those musicians?" but then the audio, the music, the voice of Angelina reaches you and you feel like she is not a young girl anymore, her voice, her soul is old and mystique. I love hearing this jamming.

[@genevapriest6190]

One of the best explanations ever crafted!

[@louisegogel7973]

🌼🎵🧡🎶💛What a fun session, I love it! I love the informality of the session, the talk between, and seeing all the musicians around Angelina as well as her mom, with, I assume, Mery on the video camera!

[@kenhall5551]

In the studio SHE'S the boss. She knows her stuff. Amazing little girl!

[@gumimat1]

Awesome! And we must remember, a good number of these gems are only available because her grandmother recorded them on a phone or video camera. They may not be perfect quality, but I am extremely happy she recorded and posted them. More treasures for us to enjoy!

[@LiloUkulele]

How blessed we are to be around for the emergence of Angelina Jordan..what a great time to be alive!

[@BjrnRemseth]

She's great, we all know that, so let me just point out that the musicians in the band are really _very_ good!

[@mrpeppery]

Bjørn Remseth that doesn’t get said enough, she works with some amazing Norwegian (I assume) musicians.

[@genevapriest6190]

So agreed!!!

[@103mrg]

@@mrpeppery I think the piano, trumpet and sax players appeared on her I Put a Spell on You (b/w) video.

[@Narffan1]

@@103mrg I believe you're right. This band is such a good match for Angelina. My favourite of all the bands she's played with by far. Egil and Ivan are also a perfect match for her. The orchestra in her 'Back to Black' cover were super as well! They're all pretty amazing! Angelina's talent is mind blowing... 👏😲💖

[@tm13tube]

She deserves the best. Often I wonder what the band members think about the opportunity to play for her.

[@nandoory9637]

Strange Combo: Jazz Band and a little girl. But all I see is a group of passionated musicians sharing their love for Jazz. All the best, Angelina! Keep it going. You have a special superpower.

[@padnesit]

Her vocal performance in this song is impressive. I get some Ellen Radka Toneff vibes. Here a child sings about a portrait of a child :) What a talent.

[@user-vt1ix6tn8f]

I can’t wait to see her live in concert.🎵🎵🎵 Angelina is going to revive Jazz back in the world 🌎

[@mrpeppery]

I agree with all the superlatives here. Just a gentle reminder that this is not a jazz number. This is pure blues. It’s an important distinction to me because, along with Lovin’ You (that I can think of), it proves her mastery of yet another genre that was meant for old souls. This is a practice, but I would love to see a finished version of the song, with her fully able to completely inhabit it the way she always does for live or studio recordings. It’s asking an awful lot of a preteen to fully capture the essence of a blues standard, but anyone who has heard the 9-year old Angelina sing I Put a Spell on You (more R&B but written by the same Screamin’ Jay Hawkins), knows that it is not asking too much of her.

[@mikebordeaux8218]

One of the few singers working today that doesn’t need auto tune. Amazing little girl.

[@madelaca4589]

I love Angelina in so many ways, I just can't explain them all. but seeing these amazing seasoned and accomplished musicians accompanying her with such respect, just says it all :) Fan forever!!!!

[@leod2408]

Her timing is out of the ordinary! a musical genius at work

[@markmaynard6551]

Angelina is showing keen interest in how the sound is being produced on the mix board, amplifier etc. So much further beyond her contemporaries in crafting the sound to her expectations of how it should be heard. Kudos to her Mom for letting this phenom develop her potential and creative expressionism as she makes each lyric her own.

[@brigritte2091]

she is painting pictures with her voice and emotions are her keynotes.

[@borispalenovski6302]

And with brushes and oils too!

[@deanyoho2755]

Wonder what kind of a person it takes to watch this little miracle developing into a world phenomenon and then turn around and give it a thumbs down??? I'm so thankful to my Heavenly Father for giving me this once in a lifetime chance to see someone come along who is the whole package. I pray that she keeps the sweet personality that she has.

[@davekozeruba9821]

Angelina WON America’s Got Talent, at least in my humble opinion. Bohemian Rhapsody was a glimpse of other-world talent. I’m so glad she found this band and especially this fantastic piano player who backs her during her latest performances. What a phenom! What a voice. What a sweet angel. God bless her and her sweet family!

[@captainkip4624]

Amen to that! She is really amazing, the next Christina and then some. Her parents are doing it right. Instead of caving in to the Cowell, AGT machine's restrictive contract, (AGT uses "super fans" to control who wins, you don't sign you don't win). If she would have signed she would have won AGT and would be under contract to Cowell. That hasn't worked out too well for most of the AGT Winners. Instead, she finished in the back half but, as far as I have been able to tell, her 3 AGT songs have more likes and views than anyone she was up against. Please correct me if I am wrong. I know she got massive exposure from that show and the incredible 3 songs she covered in her unique style and signed a lucrative deal with Republic Records. Angelina re-released Bohemian Rhapsody under her own copyright. She not only has the voice of an angel but she has a very old soul. She does all of her arrangements and is incredibly creative. Many of her songs are so heartfelt and delivered with passion and control that are beyond her years. She also plays piano, violin, and a few others. Also as I understand it, she is the youngest person to author a book in Norway. I am also told that she is an incredible artist (paintings and drawings) and this one I need to check on but I am told that at age 15 she can speak 9 languages. If that is true it is amazing. Well, maybe not for her. One thing is for sure, her English is flawless. For the love of music, I pray that God continues to shine on this little angel and keep her away from the drugs and alcohol that have plagued so many others. Amy Winehouse comes to mind. Granted she had a problem before she met Blake but there is no doubt that he was the one who got her on heroin which she needed like a GSW to the head. Heroin will kill you all the same just slower and it will drag you through hell first until there is nothing left. You couple that with raging alcoholism, an obviously damaged psyche, and enablers and hangers-on all over the place and you end up with another member of the 27-club. Even her parents didn't seem to give a $#!^ about her. It is pretty obvious from her concert footage that she was a mess. Her parents attended a lot of them. Unfortunately, no one cared enough to do anything to help her and I am certain that Amy was lost in the fog of her own mind. From what I understand Amy's record company wanted her to go to rehab as part of the contract but her father talked them out of it and after she turned it into a #1 song well that was the last time they tried to help her. So to Angelina, I say keep following your dream but always be guarded and stay away from drugs and alcohol. Keep yourself grounded and protect your voice and lungs. Don't smoke to vape anything. And to Mr. and Mis. Astar, thank you for bringing this little barefooted angle into our lives and for giving her the love for music and Jazz. She really is A-star Sorry for the pun. But seriously great job.

[@patrickwilliams9249]

Great band she commands. They compliment each other well.

I hope Angelina finalizes this song and performs it on youtube. It reveals her powerful voice and soul! And the lyrics so poignant.

at the end when she just changes it up and puts out some power.. effortlessly.

She casually looks over at the piano guy, who has been egging her on with his riffs, and suggests they repeat to end... then, she nails him. Love it. KDM

[@genebutterfield9363]

How blessed we are to have such an amazing talent in our lives. It is almost unbelievable how she can do all the truly amazing vocal things she des on note moves and word modifications and do it all in time whether it is jazz, blues, a ballad or face it...anything she cares to caress with her magical voice and emotional presence. Even if she has a fantastic coach who "feeds" her all these things to do she does the impossible for one so young. Even seasoned singers in their 20's or 30's given the same instructions would have difficulty bringing it off as she does...doubtful many could come close. AND, Angelina does it with such seemingly effortless grace. A MARVEL. What Al Jolson use to say, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" Can hardly wait to see her storm the musical world.

I have come back to watch this session several times and each time I get chills when she starts singing! It is an amazing thing to watch a 10yr old girl produce such old soul vocals and spot on with what the lyrics are meant to sound like. Just amazing!! I hope to hear her sing this song again at a later time when she is older, although she already sounds like she is much older. This is a cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins' Portrait of A Man. This is the link to that song--kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4mQdX6jfrylgKs, should anyone want to compare the two. Angelina changed the lyrics to reflect her age at the time of this jam session to Portrait of A Child.
