[@davidcochran6291]

Just to let you know Angelina has had no better champion to get people aware of Angelina since before 2017 when I showed up spouting her talents. In fact Rusty corrected me several times as I had mismangled information on Angelina. He has a listing of her first 150 songs in chronological order. So if you want to know how old Angelina was when she sang a song he's the one you should refer to.

[@CarronHicks]

She actually sanged thus song during her completion on Norway got talent. She was 7 years old then. Check it out.

[@larrypifer1103]

Norway’s Got Talent Charity, she donated the 80 thousand dollars she won on Norway’s Got Talent Angelina Jordan won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 in 2014, the prize for winning was eighty thousand dollars, this money was donated to children’s charities. At age 8 her first charity performance was in Germany to raise money for heart disease. Again, at age 8 she does a telethon for Plan International Children’s Charity. Still at age 8 she performs for Norwegian Sea Rescue Society Charity. On the 12th of Dec still at age 8, she performs at Save The Child Nobel Peace Prize, 4 days later, even though she has a very bad cold, she performs for the Swedish Heroes Foundation against her doctor's orders. At age 10 she performed for the Norwegian Refugee Council Charity. Also age 10 she performed in Seoul in South Korea for Rotary International to raise money for children’s vaccinations. Angelina Jordan comes from a very wealthy family and does need the money, she, and her family want to share her wonderful talent with the world. This is what makes AJ and her family so very special. This information was on Alan's Pod Cast.

This child is so amazing and so adorable on so many levels ! To be able to pull off the adults that she is covering is Insane ! Especially Billy Holiday ! I just can't get enough of her voice and her performances ! Just mesmerized !!

[@larrypifer1103]

Tiny Little Girl Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.

[@deanbarcelona1427]

super great Billie is smiling in heaven

[@thomshin2460]

You are so right, she has so much confidence.

[@larrypifer1103]

Shamans Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.

[@meilaw2877]

Crazy the way she sings this song...so soulful.

[@lynelleharper3661]

Always appreciate when one musician recognizes the talents of another musician. Great reaction.

[@annc9660]

GOD bless Grandma Mery....

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

WOW! Billy Holiday cover, Angelina nailed it, her way...Nice, AR👊☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓

[@dsgp7835]

Astounding!! Angelina is a one and only. I've seen this many times and I'm amazed every time, like it's the first time seeing it.

[@marvinboswell6889]

Just a talent rarely seen .enjoyed your reaction 👍

[@quantockbeech]

Incredible

[@osovagabundo1]

Spend an afternoon watching the Fairy Voice Mother vocal coach as she deconstructs Angelina, Dimash, or Diana and youll catch up on the terminology and break down of physiology of singing and have big fun while you learn.

[@GaryBarlow-js3ph]

Angelina's otherworldly rendition and tribute to her No 1 singing idol the late great Billie Holiday.

[@jolantashereshaw2477]

She sings with her soul ❤️

[@bricetownsen2158]

How can she not have confidence, listen to that voice at 11 years old!!!

[@nanp544]

Awesome reaction.👍🏼🎼🤗

[@christinafisk9657]

These songs she is singing are from way back from when i was a kid. I am 60 now. The emotions in her voice is incredibly surprising! She understands the meaning of these songs! God bless you Jordan 💜🙏💜🕊🤟

[@royperkins9176]

My favorite version of this song (so far of course). Love your reactions to Angelina. Thanks

[@poolhallshark]

Angelina was 11 years old here. You really need to listen to the original to fully understand and appreciate what she did here. Love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️

[@rickrack4812]

AND listen to her sing it a capella at age 7, almost 8

[@CarlD70]

Agree, Anthony is a bit limited on his knowledge of all the great artists that have inspired Angelina's music, Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Louie Armstrong and so on and hopefully he will research and listen to these great artists of the past that influenced so much of today's music....well the good music anyway. We here in the States are well aware of all these artists, I grew up listening to many of them from my parents playing "78's" , precursor to to the "33" LP vinyl's back in the day....I am dating myself I guess. Hope Anthony will take the time to listen to them....he is quite talented rapper and could actually learn a bunch from the past....as Angelina has.

[@poolhallshark]

@@CarlD70 Yes, I think all music artists have something to learn from times past. One often needs to understand the past to understand present time. And I guess also the future 🙂

[@kima.4268]

She is in unison with the incredible Billie Holiday!

[@grykarlsen5054]

Her grandmother is often doing the filming from the studio like here. She also played this kind of music of old stars to her from she was a baby.. ❤ thank you grandma!!

[@Hopediamonddeezy]

This was an awesome reaction! And I do believe that singer reactions is our favorite Angelina Jordan reactor because he definitely understands her crazy talent! Love that you going through the rabbit hole!’ Keep going ❤❤❤❤

[@stevemonaco1966]

Truly A Masterpiece ! Angelina for life 🙂

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Great reaction and spot on comments about her confidence.... unbeatably combined with true humility.

[@lightbearer7552]

Thank you for your reaction and support of Angelina , this is one of my favourite performances not just by Angelina at 11yrs old but by anyone ever, AJ does Billie, Billie Holiday is AJ's biggest inspiration from a very young age, she is like an embodiment of all the greatest jazz singers and elevated through the Angelinarisation school of vocal mastery .Angelina in jazzy bluesy mode always sublime.💗

[@lindakayjohnson9434]

Ohh yes! My favourite version of this song!

[@rlew49ers]

Here's a mashup of both Billie and AJ: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2HYf5aOhNhnibM AJ was quoted in an interview that if there wasn't a Billie Holiday there would be no Angelina Jordan (hard to believe!).

[@darlenestewart3542]

This is a perfect performance

[@kashq502]

If u knew who billie holiday was, she has a very sensual breathy singing voice. Also lots of vibrato its very sensual and pretty.

[@fredneecher1746]

It's amazing how she alternates between consummate singer and excited child! She lays down each phrase as if it were a work of art in itself, then stands back and says, "Hey, I did that!". I do recommend the album, It's Magic. Plenty of fine tracks there.

[@PatStone3]

In front of Angelina is a glass window where she can see the Band playing. There is another tape of this recording in a-cappella and she removes her ear phones so we can hear the music playing in her ear. In this one, someone added the music, I personally like the a-cappella version better. Thank you for a great reaction.

[@larsfrodelarsen6645]

I doubt this song could be done better by anyone !!!

[@rickrack4812]

AJ often sings "aspirate". Takes exceptional breath control and volume.

[@Tomas-Odebrant]

She seemed to be satisfied with this take. In the end she says: "Det var kjempebra!" which means "That was really good!"

[@jamiem4941]

She is such a musical chameleon! I am so glad you like her work. She has such an affinity for jazz classics. Thanks Anthony!

[@nanp544]

Thumbs up means Granny Mery is present!🤗

[@tadeostodullo4587]

😀😀😀😀😀

[@lindakayjohnson9434]

Hi there Anthony 🙂 greetings from New Zealand! Are you enjoying Angelina's jazz? I think so! Did you notice how she touched her flower halo and glanced upwards just before she started to sing? I believe she was paying her respects to Billie Holliday then. There's one other time I have noticed this same gesture, it's when she entered the booth to sing 'I Put a Spell on You'.. she was paying her respects to Screaming Jay Hawkins then. Two influential African American singers from a way past era, who had an incredible effect on a very young Norwegian girl.. music is super cool like that! You remind me somewhat of Keanu Reeves..

[@camillawickham1494]

She sounds just like Billy Holiday‼💥 😱🎵🎶🎶

[@RichardBourne]

My Dear Anthony Ray, Thanks for the respect you are giving to this artist. Subscribed a month ago after your "I put a spell on you"" reaction. I've re-titled as: When a kid isn't a kid and fierce child warrior. For this kid is a warrior for music. The history with this song "I'm a fool to want you" goes back to the 50s. Co-Composed by Frank Sinatra and recorded in 1951. Billy Holiday made it famous. This was time Frank was in relationship with Ava Garner the actor. It didn't go well. All best from Richard Anthony Bourne Maryland

[@kristena9285]

You can see she's still a kid at heart? She's 11... 😀

[@rw716]

Nice reaction! I find it kind of sweet that she's looking for approval from her Grandma Mery, the person who is taking the video. They have a real close relationship and it was Mery who introduced Angelina to jazz and Angelina just totally fell in love with the genre. If you didn't know, Billie Holiday is Angelina's biggest musical influence. She once said that if there were no Billie Holiday, there would be know Angelina Jordan! Wow, what a thing to say!

[@annc9660]

So true....

[@rmcc42]

When I first heard her say that about herself and Billie Holiday, my first thought was "My God, does she KNOW she is Billie and many other Jazz greats reincarnated"!!!

[@LadyOaksNZ]

Angelina has blues in her bones... 💙 Her grandma is videoing..❤

[@terrypuccio870]

Empress of Jazz and here is why...oh and she does NOT ever need autotune.

[@capstan50g]

This is the audio from Angelina's first album, It's Magic, edited onto another video. It's an amazing performance. If you want to hear the original audio from this video, which is a single take, much of which made it into the final recording, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWrXfmCJpcilZ7M

[@vintagetwilight5239]

Anthony Ray, I've come to really look forward to your reactions 💜 so glad I stumbled over your channels and as a bonus for me I'm now on a discovery journey of your original music

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

And then there's this .. magnificent sound... and yet in the visual she has leaves and weeds in her hair where she for so long had flowers and crowns .. and she's fooling around with her Grandma, who was her videographer for this. When you hear this performance without the visual, its magnificent .. you would never believe she was having fun with Grandma Mery.

[@scottwatson9453]

Her Norway's got talent audition done accapella when she was 7 is even better than this and way more haunting.

[@localnetsolutions]

Rusty is a voice actor and Rusty Shackleford is his most famous character's name This particular recording is for the the album It's Magic.

[@ClandOp]

There's absolutely an ELEGANCE to AJ's singing style -- great observation.

[@larrypifer1103]

Many, many vocal teachers are awe struck by Angelina Jordan the first time they experience her. They sum up what she has by stating, you have to be born with it, you can't learn what she does, she is a genius and simply hypnotic 7 to 17 years of age.

[@mariaalicea1425]

We love you Angelina ❤❤❤

[@dougmccool1279]

She rewrites every song to fit her style

[@granttaylor6925]

Great reaction and yes she does sound like she's channeling Billie Holiday Etta James Della Reese Diana Washington etc etc jazz song dresses from the '40s and '50s Billie Holiday especially whiskey voice full of sorrow and conviction it's funny because Angelica has been sounding like this since she was six but voices only going to get thicker stronger and richer

[@LindaAnn1]

Always love your reactions. What I have heard of your music is wonderfully. Lovr your voice and tone.

[@karlbecker7511]

Another thing that's amazing is Angelina's ability to switch rapidly from communicating with her grandmother back to full concentration to start singing the next part as well as reading the lyrics on her phone at the same time without missing a beat.

[@ridgemanron]

This audition brings forth the most unique aspects of singing she learned from Billie Holiday. Phrasing, nuance, inflections, breathy releases and a host of other elements that made Billie the most improvisational jazz singer of all time and someone who Angelina said is the reason we have Angelina Jordan as the singer she is.

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina enjoys impressing her grandma Mery, AJ's grandmother, Mery Zamani, is a famous artist and poet and was a child prodigy and has been a major force in AJ's upbringing. There is no way you can experience Angelina Jordan without becoming very emotional. This being moves mountains. Grandma Mery spent so much time with Angelina picking songs for her to perform from Mery's past, and it is very obvious, they have this very special rapport.

[@maddalenacherchi]

Bellissimo Antony. Grazie per il sostegno a questa meravigliosa creatura. Sei bravissimo, musicalmente e umanamente. Love from Italy.💋

[@mrgobbleton]

You perfectly described how she sings while using a 2nd language, good work mate

[@TheBlaster54]

Voice coach, CeCe Dover said this performance is perfect.

[@roddiener1235]

She's one of a handful of singers throughout time that uses her whole voice as an instrument, and she's accomplished this at a very young age......skies the limit for her.

[@sharonrdbl2343]

English is her 3rd language and she is Reading the Woods from her Phone.she sang this acepela on norway,s got talent was ultra amazing.❤

[@Sweetpea4575]

Her confidence “ is quite inspirational ; quite motivating .” Nailed it. Angelina, even as a child, is inspirational to most of us whether vocally or spiritually. Some kind of wizardry, eh?

[@rmcc42]

Soooo true!!

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

Dankie vir jou reaksie. I subscribed for more Angelina reactions. She breaths music. Dit is haar ouma wat saam met haar is en sy is die groot invloed in Angelina se lewe wat haar musiek betref.

[@judithboggs2196]

She has the bluest soul music that we don't hear much of anymore. Billy Holiday is legendary for her blues singing. This is a genre of music I haven't heard since the forties. Truly exquisite breathiness and vocal manipulation. You have some of her "old soul" music, but it shows more in self-reflective rapping. Thanks for showcasing this song. ❤

[@martinstenitzer8782]

Angelina is unbelievebel, thats a masterpiece forever and she is music, the goddess of vocal, for me , insane 👑♥️🌹💫

[@CarlosCastillo-ue9cz]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@stefandanes7752]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@andyschnell58]

While listening to this genre of music and especially with Angelina singing, I often get lost in her voice and the story of the song. I truly hope that happens for people who listen to the popular music of recent years.

[@cherylmack1260]

Wow , she really did a service to Billy Holiday.

[@ryanjacob3338]

Beauty reaction again Sir, 😊 Always nice to share Angelina with more people. Yeah, 7 years old, first public audition, national T.V., confident. First words out of the judges mouths? "Old soul, you ARE music, born to sing, we have a star." Guess that confident 7 year old may have gotten some reinforcement on top of somehow being ready to face her country already.

[@Audreyjudy-o3z]

[@sarahdomingues5754]

Eu simplesmente amo a voz da Angelina Jordan, principalmente quando ela canta as músicas da Billie Holiday é muito especial.☺️🥰🇧🇷

[@rescuedogsawaitinganewlife1171]

wow

[@joanburnley6244]

She was reacting to her grandmother who was filming this , she knows she`s got it in the bag

[@lynettepascua4730]

She sang in So. Korea to 40 thousand people and grandma was filming from behind and she skipped out to the mic. So adorable. I think she was 9 or 10.

[@thomshin2460]

Well you're going to be hooked

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan knows full well how great she is, remember you are dealing with a genius that writes beautiful lyrics, is the youngest author that Norway has ever had, and she rearranges every cover she performs to make them her own, and much better than they were performed when they first became popular. Because of her family's wealth she could do nothing but enjoy her life, but she chose to spread joy throughout the world with her phenomenal talent.

[@mburkitt7678]

Norway's Got Talent, America's Got Talent (Champions), Nobel Prize Ceremony, Quincy Jones' Birthday Celebration (at his invitation) at O2 Arena, opening for Norah Jones, National TV appearances, opening a movie soundtrack, outdoor concerts, signed with Republic Records as their Highest Priority, and the list goes on, all before the age of 16. It is true that she was born with more talent than most musical groups have in aggregate (IMHO), but the amount of focused work that it took at achieve all this is mind-blowing.

[@stellasweden]

Think Angelina did this song acapella in Norway got talent when she seven ❤

[@wisehiker]

This is one of my favorite of hers......She does it better than the original....To be fair....Billy Holiday is from the 40/50's a long long time ago and I am sure it was never probably played in your country..

Both Diana Ross and Andre Day have done Billie Holiday films wonderful performances and Angelina is on par, but with a tinge more style! If you listen to the original you will see that Angelina can make a true classic her own once again! I love you are supporting her so much as she truly is something so special!

[@angelightification]

[@SuperLiorr]

The truth is you are in the direction of what happens when Angelina sings. She herself said in one of her interviews, which is also on KZbin, that while she sings and her eyes roll back, she simply feels an out-of-body experience, she moves to a place that is all good and quiet, and that's what we feel when she sings exactly. She takes us there with her 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷

[@tedheiden6357]
