[@7.0.0.8]

I've spent my entire adult life in the music business and I have never witnessed talent on this level. I came across this video early on in my AJ experience and was flabbergasted... until the bridge section, where I thought she had lost her way. Because I have issues with watching people go through embarrassing moments (especially musicians) I clicked out of it before she finished and never watched it again. I figured they passed her through based on the cuteness factor alone. It wasn't until a few years later I came upon the shorter version (eliminates the bridge section) and noticed she was still in pitch at the end. That's when I hunted down this version to give it another chance, but this time I watched Billie's version along with it and found out it was ME that had gotten lost! That's when everything clicked and I decided to put the backing track with her vocal. I'd like to thank all the wonderful people that have shared the link to the remix. Without you, this would go undiscovered by many AJ fans. Bless you all!

[@angelahandley416]

Next Gloomy Sunday please and Bang Bang and then Summertime. That will be the three songs for the Norway’s Got Talent performance, I’m a fool to want you was just to qualify. You will love them all

You are correct she was 8 years old and that was at Norway's Got Talent they were singing acapella to get into the semi-finals I believe.

There's no name for this! No words, nothing. It's why I say "She is"

[@js33412]

A Cappella, singing in her third language, English, just 8 years old, in front of judges, and no nerves. Right where she wanted to be. Do listen to this version with music added, and the 11-year-old version. All worth it.

Just born for it! I was playing with plastic dinosaurs in the yard at that age. And happy to have them. This child is phenomenal.

[@fredneecher1746]

That sweet little curtsey and smile at the end kills me every time. The sudden switch from age-old soul singer to adorable 7-year-old is just too much.

[@robertoxyzzz]

We are witnessing a living miracle delivered by The Almighty inside our hearts to uplift our souls and enjoy His creation we call Angelina.

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I am sure Billie Holiday would be so proud of Angelina.

[@lindahall8707]

Just love it.

[@andyschnell58]

I sometimes think Angelina is just a dream. This performance is a critical piece of the legend which is Angelina Jordan. Hopefully someday we will see another prodigy this vocally developed at age 8 again, but until then Angelina stands alone.

[@johnvasi]

Before she started, you said you were nervous. I’ve got good news for you, Harri. You never have to be nervous with Angelina. Even though you might not love every song Angelina sings, she never disappoints you. She surprises us regularly with her unique voice and musicality, but there is such authenticity to her singing that comes through every time. Billie Holiday? Seven years old-no problem, let me do it a cappella in front of judges. It’s homage to Billie, but it’s absolutely Angelina.

[@mrstlu4838]

John, this was in early Feb ‘14, so she was 8 by this time. (I didn’t know, but apparently these competitions always list the participants by the age they were when they auditioned. No wonder we get all the arguments.) I always like your comments btw 🎶

[@johnvasi]

@Mrs Tlu: thank you for the correction, and thank you.

[@ckh57]

Angelina has a full band and ochestra living in her head to back her up, and she calls them up when ever she needs them. Her timing and vocal nuances are just perfection . At just seven years old , no first grader on the planet could stand in her level of professionalism .

[@randygumaer282]

Think about what she did, in only her second performance in the NGT contest Angelina sang Billie Holiday's, "I'm A Fool To Want You" in front of her competition, the judges, cameras, and audience acapella flawlessly in key, and on time with rock-solid confidence, wow!

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Angelina is sleeping and thinking, what should I sing as the second part, suddenly there is a female voice telling her "Angelina after you sang my Gloomy Sunday you should sing I'm a fool to want you as you know how to" Angelina: oh Billie thank you for your guidance.

[@angelahandley416]

After listening to her so much I believe she channels in the person who she is emulating. I do believe as you mentioned that she wakes them up. And through her they sing again. Amen

[@HarriBestReactions]

Amen indeed

[@peterchristopherbanlon]

Hi Harri. By the time Angelina Jordan reached ten years of age, she earned her shot at the title jazz legend. By the time she was twelve, she took on all the legends and crushed it. You 'ain't seen nothing yet. Cheers!

[@ClandOp]

And remember -- English is not her first language. And she's 7 years old. Unreal. Oh, and a capella. And in front of judges and an audience. Did I mention she was 7 years old? What a tribute to Billie.

[@lindaali6703]

It's easy for our Angelina!.❤. Check out. I Who Have Nothing she did it at 6. She was listening to jazz in the womb! Tried to sing Whitney at 1 1/2. At 3 she wanted to come to usa to sing for Simon.

[@markuss7249]

She once said: "... without Billie Holiday there would be no Angelina Jordan today..." (and without her Grandma, who introduced her to Jazz) This performance shows that Angelina has been a perfect artist with skills of an experienced gownup singer - with the tools of a child. That makes this so incredible, that one could wonder, if reincarnation is real. Anyway, her reception ability was and is outstanding. Lots of us, who want to be able, to listen, can learn from her about little, but essential details...

[@charlesmiller6510]

yes yes yes to everything you said BUT you missed the best, most endearing part. At the very end of her performance she comes back to the microphone and respectfully offers up a quiet polite, "Thank you." It must have come as a shock to the judges who had just been transfixed by and confronted by a genuine gift from above.

[@kristena9285]

It's almost unfair what Angelina does, both then and now! On the other hand, we're glad she does all that she does and we're blessed to hear it, to experience it!

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

Well, she has a family that is so supportive of her that when she showed an interest in singing at 18 months old (after hearing Whitney Houston perform: I Will Always Love You), her grandmother put her in voice lessons at the age of 4! By the time that Angelina was 6, she was singing in studios. At age 7 she won Norway's Got Talent (Not age 8). By age 8 , Angelina was doing her own arrangement and conducting her musicians. I don't believe in child "Prodigies," Angelina Jordan immersed herself in all aspects of music and has worked very hard to get where is is today, at the ripe old age of 15.

[@josiekerr6832]

Good luck talking about this 💎

[@rev.bobertbockstop7057]

I am a couple of months late with my comment having been traveling with not much time to watch reaction videos. I hope you get to read this. I really enjoy your reactions to Angelina’s music. I have known Angelina and family since she was tiny. I have sat in a living room and had her sing right in front of me. Seeing and hearing her online and in concerts is great but in close proximity it is very nearly a spiritual experience. When she was very young she would be jumping around playing like any kid but when she started to sing something happens I cannot adequately describe. For me the effect of her voice and Musical presence is profound. Her emotions are glacial and deep. Where this all originates I cannot even speculate. Her soul, spirit, and empathy toward others is uncanny and otherworldly. Many people have commented on these KZbin reactions but until you have been right there in front of her and she is singing to you it is impossible to feel the full impact of her talent. It goes beyond talent into something indescribable. She is something very special in this universe. Nothing much else for me to say except that she is well taken care of and looked out for by her family. Her future is bright as her full name: Angelina Jordan Astar. Thanks for your excellent reactions.

[@zeuso.1947]

And she did it acapella.

[@tm13tube]

She is like a refresh on your soul. It’s funny to hear you say you don’t know what to say. Most every reactor has the same or similar response. Later after you listen to more songs you’ll find there aren’t enough superlatives to describe her genius and talent.

[@ronraskind]

On Rusty's page you will find that there are two versions of this song. This is at age 7 on Norway's Got Talent, but the other version is at age 11 in the studio with full music backup. The newer version demonstrates her fun and artistic personality that you have never seen, a long with the intense emotion she puts into the song with a more mature voice. It is truly Billie Holiday reincarnated. You must react to this as well. She also just released a new song called when you believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. It is stunning.

[@pontusosterlin1966]

Yes you absolutely have to do that version as well. I cannot believe how good she is on that recording. It really is mind-blowing.

[@musicluvr70]

There is a video out there, where someone put a backing track with this, and she is spot on with the music. The thing that amazes me, other than how well she sings this acapella, is that at 7 years old, she's doing it in a foreign language at 7 years old!!

A fan did a mashup with the original backing track. He said he just had to adjust two pauses, thats it. Seems our lil girl always liked a challenge and I imagine people telling her a certain song is "too difficult" would only have made her itching that much more to figure it out how to do it.

[@peterhormell1511]

Wonderful reaction Harri! Does Angelina love music? “...Nothing can stop my passion for music!...”. This is what she proclaims just before this “performance” of “I’m a Fool to Want You” at school (around the same time as the version you just listened to)... while suffering from the CHICKENPOX! Don’t wait to react to this Harri - play it right now for your own enjoyment! ❤️

[@CarlD70]

Great reaction Harri. You really should check out the rehearsal video with the Norwegian Armed Forces Band from her first Album "It's Magic". She recorded it for the Album at age 11 and it is spectacular...just as this one is.

[@BuffaloC305]

I love it when a Billie fan finds AJ doing her songs. This lets me know this reactor is a SERIOUS student of music, like Angelina is. Her performances deserve that. Harri, you post The Best Review Commentary about the 4:11 mark, when you stop, stone silent, and then plug in again with renewed breathing. I'm 8 minutes into this review, and Harri's never mentioned "it's acapella" (that's mentioned at 9:50). Never a mention of looking at the other people waiting for their first-ever audition. Some reactors chime in later, on 2nd and 3rd re-watchings and muse, "Those poor people - they're standing there, going to follow AJ-!" God bless 'em - I hope they all enjoyed themselves. By the way, I think I value this 7-year-old's performance more than her backing-track studio version.

[@StevenFosterprcofsoflo]

Amazing reaction from you and to sing it a Cappella makes it truly unforgettable at age 7....there is an updated version at about age 12 you may want to check out. For sure, Rusty has that listed.

One more thing. Every detail doesn't go unchecked . Start looking closely at every detail. Thing I've learned about through other reactors like your self. And I keep dropping them and keep the ones who are starting to see these little things that seem to go by unnoticed. Homework is vital for this very unusual artist 🎨

[@markuss7249]

Word!

[@davidcochran6291]

This is the first thing I ever heard her sing. I have a chronic issue where pain is the main problem . So I am often either still awake in the wee hours, or I have been wakened by pain as the meds wear off. So to distract me I cruise the Net to find new singers to distract me as I( wait for the new meds arrive. Angelina was the second unbelievable young singer I had stumbled on to the first, three days earlier, was Daneliya Tuleshova a 10 year old from Kazakhstan who left me dumbfounded with her performance. Then this ragamuffin comes to me at 3AM California time and launches into this A Capella version of a song most veteran singers have trouble singing it correctly with accompaniment, let alone with no music. And where was her starting note? I heard nothing to get her started. So from a cold start she launches into this. So my first response, after I picked my chin up off the floor, was this is impossible!!! Yet there she was all missing teeth, with hair that looked like it was combed by a tornado, singing with all the confidence of someone who had been singing this song this way for years.I am stil in awe of what she did but her studio performance when she was just three years older is just as startling. I am sending you the link to that below. Thanks for your reaction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXjbYZegjbmLh80

[@jamessceeles4397]

Makes one question the ability to channel those that have come before; the ability to evoke Billy Holliday at age seven. If you close your eyes you don't envision a seven year old; but someone much older. Her confidence in her vocal ability is to be marveled.
