[@Charlie-qe6lv]

She is a prodigy--a musical genius--not just talented. She's in the vein of a Mozart.

[@Ambro_Rider]

Angelina is the future 😊 thanks from Italy🙏🇮🇹

[@MAYK1NG]

She does it with soul.

[@tomwalker779]

She cuts to the essentials of the song, every time.

[@christinep6120]

I love your reactions...I feel the same way..and appreciate the unspoken feelings you convey. Smiles..peace and love.

[@rickardekholm7067]

How can anybody go thru life without hearing Bohemian Rjapsody??

[@alberttenfoot]

I have to put my hand up to that :-) Until Angelina sang it I may have vaguely heard someone mention it, but that was all. I was 88 years old when she sang it.

[@dianesinnett4391]

Angelina is giving me goose bumps head to toe

[@MyALevelMathsTutor]

When Freddie mercury sang this song...you thought...oh dear, what he must be going through...but when Angelina sang this song...you thought...what must i be going through...its like she gifted this song to each of us personally and we each made it our own. Freddie made it HIS own of course.

[@LeeAllen337]

First time I've heard Angelina sing. OH. MY. GOD. She left me with tears in my eyes and I'm not ashamed to say it. She's going places with that masterful voice.

[@BAfan-tt9zl]

I started here, too, was blown away, and looked on KZbin for more from her. I saw her performances from "Norway's Got Talent", and so watched all of those - they blew me away just as much! ! And I, like so many others, was absolutely hooked!! The best part is, there's no shortage of material from her- and everything you listen to, you love as much or more than the last! You are in for an AMAZING ride if you keep listening!! Even as a child, she strikes a chord in you and brings tears to your eyes! And you cannot believe she's a child when you hear "Fly Me to the Moon"..."Summertime"... and "What a Difference a Day Makes!" - to say nothing of "I Put a Spell on You"!!! The SOUL in this girl!!! Then go in any direction (but MUST hear "Stay" (Rihana's) and "A Million Years Ago" (Adele's) and "Go Easy on Me" (Adele's) ) She NEVER disappoints, but you may often be in tears - & heaven!!

[@DerAlteGrizzly]

Hey Mr.Lboys thanks for your Reaction i love what you do! greetings from germany! Angelina is soo great i have tears day for day .

Notice she started with A CAPPELLA incredible.

[@paulmasella1616]

[@DennyBlessedDCT]

Angelina did a phenomenal job on this song and at 13 years old this is unbelievable! This is one of my favorites of her many great performances!

[@hdctx]

Queen agreed with you, they congratulated her for this performance.

[@flea10x6]

And authorized her to copyright her arrangement.

[@deecapetown]

Freddie is smiling down on this BEST EVER version of his Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina is a gift to the world from the Music Gods ....

[@CarlD70]

Great comments, and right on point. Angelina has been arranging her songs since Norway Got Talent show, you will realize that she is also brilliant. Enjoying your reactions a lot, you have a new Sub.

[@andyschnell58]

13 year old Angelina Jordan creates a genius arrangement to one of the world's most beloved songs, goes on stage, and flirts with Simon who had to known of her since Norway's Got Talent. Then with 100% confidence, standing on one of the biggest stages on Earth, delivers an all time great vocal performance. The surviving members of Queen posted her performance on their Twitter. Angelina is in a class by herself.

[@vikingballetnista7491]

You sir have a wonderful wheelhouse...IMHO. Thank you so much for this reaction. This was when I found my favorite singer to be, Angelina. Thumbs up MrLboyd.

[@gottabeemee]

I loved that her Grandma was the first one to stand and clap👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RoxyLuffer]

You should look up her cover of "Yellow Brick Road' on AGT. I think She'll blow you away again.

[@philgaringer9065]

Great reaction. Angelina selects and arranges all of her music herself. This was all her at 13 years old.

[@fezzik7619]

The arrangement of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road she does on this show was composed by Sara Bareilles years ago. She just does a slight variation of it.

[@joycevaldes4548]

❤️❤️ your journey has just begun ❤️❤️what a journey it will be...she is the GOAT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Written by a Swedish minister and originally sang I America by George Beverly Shea in 1957 during a Billy Graham Crusade. Churches everywhere began adding it to their hymnal. In 1967, Elvis recorded it.

Angelina does do her own arrangements, and she has an incredible musical mind. Her sense of timing might be one of the best of any current musician.

[@marypulley6512]

She is still an innocent, that is special along with her talent. I love Freddie Mercury and I think he would approve of this

[@SagebrushRambles]

Love your reactions to Angelina.

[@cherylcasey1743]

Always perfection. That was her mother in the front row with the blonde hair and I think a black dress.

[@ct1810]

She arranged this herself- as she's been doing for years. When you saw her writing notes for "I Put a Spell on You" at 10- she was already making her own choices and playing with the original lyrics and music to suit her own style, just as she did here for Bohemian Rhapsody. She never ceases to amaze!! My only wish is that I was younger so I could watch her full career unfold, into her late years, but I'm here for it as long as I can! Please react to her cover of "It's a Man's World", live in Norway w/band version....would love to hear your take!!

[@zeuso.1947]

She was 9 for the recording of I Put A Spell On You The video was released when she was 10.

[@LBSmith-oy8wo]

I am curious about how many amazing spirits brought this child to all of us. It seems impossible that one person could bring this much talent to the planet. Thank you Universe for this amazing beauty.

[@sandyleewhite]

Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!

This Girl is not from this world,she is stunning.She can sing every Song and she sing the songs with her own style.With some songs she make me cry she is amazing.

[@colinpate3059]

Angelina is captivating, the delicate way she does her runs is like no other. So many other singers do runs just for the sake of doing them and they mean nothing. There are so many l could suggest you react to but l love the I'm Still Holding Out For You performance. She only ten years old and the soul she sings with is mind blowing and the interpretation of lyrics that she shouldn't understand is supernatural. Love your reactions, you can't stop now.

[@JasonSavorn]

Earned my subscription- Well done mate!

[@frankphillips5660]

Thanks for these thoughtful reactions to AJ. Here... she comes out on stage, barefoot, opening a cappella to one of the most recognized and beloved songs of all time in front of her idol Simon to a worldwide live audience at 13 years old. Then proceeds to deliver one of the most mesmerizing performances ever on America's Got Talent. FEARLESS!! And so humble, graceful and dignified. Such class. No question she is about to take the world by storm! Angelina has jazz and soul in her blood. From a very early age she took to jazz listening to Billie Holiday mostly, among other great jazz artists. It's verified with videos. So I would love for you to react to "I'm A Fool To Want You" studio version at age 11 where she recorded it for her album "It's Magic" released when she was 12. It went to the top of the jazz charts. This is the same song she performed a cappella for Norway's Got Talent at age 7. When you listen to the Randy Shackleford studio version you would have thought you're listening to Billie Holiday herself. So happy to see Angelina getting promoted by your channel Mr. Boyd. Thank you so much. Cheers from Florida

[@AlysianahNoire]

And she sings so effortlessly. She's not straining or having to belt notes out. It's like breathing for her. I also love this version of the song.

[@theamfoldvik279]

She is our pride and joy in Norway ! And also... look up AURORA .... hugs from a Dear !

[@KHarmonTCC]

Angelina’s spin on this song is absolutely amazing!

[@bobhoey4648]

Her own song and maybe her finest overall is A Million Miles, a tribute to her grandfather.

[@BAfan-tt9zl]

And don't forget "A Million Years Ago," the Adele song, as well as Adele's "Go Easy on Me" and Rihanna's "Stay" - some of my very, very favorites of Angelina's covers.

[@josephstimpfl4594]

Never doubt it. She is the boss.

[@buss8009]

Everyone likes this version better, right? I do too... Thank you for a great reaction! Stay safe...

[@donny_clevOH42o]

i love this performance very unique and amazing, i know everyone has there own taste and opinion, BUT in my opinion it is CRAZY to say its better then the original, one of the most amazing vocalists often recognized as one of the best voices of all time, freddie mercury sang this song as PERFECT as it can be ever sang in the original, plus its got the "classic" value that will never die. Only my opinion but a little disrespectful (unintentionally obviously) for people to say this 2minute version my a 13 year old girl on a talent show is "better" than an all time classic, not taking anything away from angalena she is a star, but really yall? yall crazy lol

The complete package of talent, grace, and beauty! No one like Angelina! BTW, this was recorded in Oct. 2019 when Angelina was 13. It aired on NBC on January 6, 2020 4 days short of her 14th birthday. Angie turned 15on Jan. 10, 2021. Angie has been doing her own arrangements since she was 8.

[@foghorn90leghorn73]

There is NOTHING strange about liking Angelina's covers more than the original. While I grant that this is personal taste, it's also true that she is an EXPERT at reimagining songs to either enhance the emotional content or deliver a different emotional message, and usually much more tender using her virtuoso jazz skills. Welcome to the world of Angelina. Everything else still outside of that world remains as it is, but it's just so fulfilling to stay within.

[@Tobias-ze9eq]

I agree it's not strange liking her covers more than originals in general, but i DO find it strange (almost sacreligious :P ) to like her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody more than the original, and even more strange to not having heard Bohemian Rhapsody until a few months ago at his age (which i'm guessing is well in to his thirties).

[@ironhandyman]

So does she actually write any music or does she just remake other people's stuff? So she " enhances emotional content" of something that had a specific emotion created by the one how originally wrote and preformed it? Interesting.

[@jackbrian7083]

@@Tobias-ze9eq i feel like the middle Part of bohemian rhapsody is something a lot of people dont like, usually Cover artists take it out and people seem to like the Song more

[@Tobias-ze9eq]

@@jackbrian7083 It's close to impossible to properly cover, at least for a single artist, so i understand taking it out, but when you do it's a completely different song. It would not have reached the heights it did without it, nor made the impact it did.

It was posted by “Talent Recap” on their channel and had over 10 million views in one week before it was deleted. The band “Queen” loved her rendition of this song, tweeted it and tagged it. They also granted her copyrights of her version of this song which she released as a single shortly after. Thank you for your reaction and keep up the good work.

[@RobertDeMartin]

She was marvelous and yes she arranged the song. And, I don't know how much you've heard of her already but it seems to me during this performance she touched your heart. Combining her voice with her persona she is irresistible. There is so, so much for you to listen to and to find out about Angelina that will enhance the way you feel about her even more than now. Do you know why she sings barefooted? Do you know what she did with the money she received for winning Norway's Got Talent? Have you listened to any of her originals? There are about 6 of them I believe. Did you know she is Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese and Iranian? Did you know her grandma (Iranian) was a child prodigy excelling in painting and poetry? Do you know what her goals are and what she wants to accomplish in her life? Is love the most important feeling people can share with one another? She has no boundaries. Gender, age, color, religion, language make no difference. People universally become Angelina's "Angels"and begin the process of starting to love one another and are inspired by her to do what they can to make the world a better place to live. Come aboard on her journey. Although the train has been moving along at a slow rate of speed since she was 7 years old it is starting to pick up steam now at 15 years old and soon she will move onto the fast track. We love to hear her sing but we also know who she is and what she wants the world to become. We will by her side throughout and help give her the strength to continue her dream. She loves us and we, likewise, love her in return.

[@roberterickson2239]

What's most impressive about Angelina is that she isn't locked into on style or one genre. She uses her range beautifully especially in her lower register and then she turns around and let's her voice soar. Versatility may become her trademark.

[@moonflower6171]

Hauntingly Beautiful

[@lilsun724]

Perfect re-imagination of the original icon song. and she sang it perfectly. Her sound was as sweat as ever. What is unbelievable is how this little girl at 13 years could vocally express the heartfelt emotion of this song as if she has lived through it all. When she sang I don't wanna die, one could feel the sincere and honest pleading in her voice. So perfect.
