She doesn't get nervous, she's in her element, she owns the room You don't nervous when you know no fault will be found.

[@artemisk6297]

I always enjoy little Angelina as well as Angelina of today. She was a fantastic talent then and she is fantastic talented young lady now. She always pulls me in to her world , leaving me tearful from emotion at the end. God bless you AJ .

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

I'm totally sure you've heard tons about her background by now. In my opinion, she's an old soul with amazing aptitude and connection with music .. since she was one and a half it became her focus! What? Yup. And she has literally worked for years on her voice .. and loved jazz from the start (past of that is from her grandmother) but her mother tells of how she would endlessly listen over and over to Billie Holliday and Etta .. etc.. she sang and sang and sang all day. This girl has put in the work .. out of pure wonder and passion for music. I am super grateful she's around .. she has certainly been a balm to listen to throughout this Pandemic. I cannot go a day without listening to her at least once. Thanks for your reaction. P.S. I highly recommend "Bang, Bang" .. part of her Norway's Got Talent time so she's only 7 .. teeth fixed since her very first audition (this one) but she is a subtle wonder in that performance and I believe you'd appreciate it.

[@dannydoc1969]

From what I’ve read, AJ from the age of 1 1/2, began searching out Jazz tunes, and singers on KZbin, and would intently listen for hours. This from her mother’s interview. She would then pick the sounds she liked, and at the age of 5 began asking mom to enter her into singing competitions. Totally focused so young on music, truly astounding.

[@squidkid2]

I've been watching her videos for a while and I'm just starting to realize that it's almost like she has this wonderful instrument (her voice) and she seems to know that her voice is special and she's just showcasing it to the world. Not in a diva like way but more like she knows that she has this special gift no one else has and she wants to share it with her audience.

[@shawnsiegel6189]

She's not mimicking sounds, she's recognized and somehow, at that age, is able to express the feelings behind them. It's rather remarkable. Totally captivating. I, too, urge you to react to her I Put a Spell On You.

[@donjones4719]

I don't think Caleb meant mimic in the direct sense. It takes nothing away from any young singer to note they start by directly following the styles of individual great singers, and then develop their own style. So there is a lot of Billie Holiday in this performance. but yes, the abilities and especially expressing feelings is all Angelina.

[@hannepappa]

Love your reactions on Angelina! Before you do anything else: b/w version of "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU"! 😍 She's 9 in that one.

[@billmichealoff9549]

Great insight, very informative. Thank you. If you are interested there are 125 other songs on you tube that she sings and a few are originals. She is coming out with an album of originals this spring and she is really just beginning. Angelina is pretty shy but claims that performing never makes her nervous and that it is only fun for her. A more gifted, naturally talented and focused singer I have never seen in my 63 years on this beautiful planet. Please do more reactions of her.

[@charlesbrown5433]

she loves jazz and her family supports her she has a gift

Angelina Jordan (born January 10, 2006) is famous for being pop singer. She currently resides in Oslo, Norway. Vocalist best known as the winner of Norway’s Got Talent in 2014, at the age of nine. She published her first book, Between Two Hearts, in 2015. Angelina is it in Los Angeles California now going to school Net worth 9.4 Dollars USD

[@ooshta]

Angelina Jordan - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 14 (7 in this performance) - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through KZbin videos and started studying all the greats from Jazz history. - Angelina always sings barefoot..... When Angelina was 6, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. There's more to the story & it's more touching. When Angelina was 9 years old she wrote a book about the story that can be purchased on her website. (angelinajordanofficial) - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 100 songs over the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. She can even cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey ect... like you wouldn't believe. - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, and many more. All of which heard her covering their songs and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) I think Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived, I feel if she avoids the pitfalls of child success. Listen closely to any of her songs you can hear her greatness. She sings with a very natural style. She doesn't do any unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of showing off. She's humble & gentle & sweet She once said "When I sing I go into a magical world in my head", you can always hear the results of that as well as being brought into the songs. She has a great future ahead of herself God willing.

[@leticiavallejo7914]

Angelina is an AWESOME singer! Her singing can bring out emotions. It's obvious she gets into her song(s). Looking forward to following her career.

[@wendy-leemorrissirrom8636]

She has a original song. What’s life. 🇳🇿💖😊🙏

[@tm13tube]

Her grandmother liked jazz. She could hold a mic and sing at 18 months. She has always been self directed. When she is told “The scene is yours.” she is immediately serious and ready to sing. She signals for the backing track right away. She is the smallest contestant but she feels equal and joins in with others who are taller and older. She is not the least bit intimated.

[@diablohell9399]

ALWAYS WHEN I'M NERVOUS I LET ANGELINA TO CALM MY SOUL, SHE IS THE CURE FOR MY SOUL.

[@jdfjdf1941]

Angelina has a video on KZbin showing her in a crib at 1.5 years old singing on key the song “I Will Always Love You” Also her grandmother always played jazz at home.

[@patriciahopey1384]

The ear Trained. Perfect pirch.

[@ohe8491]

I put a spell on you is one of my fav from her...and "shield" that she made herself is also an impresssive performance... she started singing at the age of 2 years old

[@56kof]

From very young age Angelina attended to one of the many "cultural schools" in Norway. There shall be at least one such afternoon school in every community , free of charge. Teaching music, dancing, acting, fine arts etc. Nice and deasent paying jobs for us artists (i´ve been teaching painting and sculpture) Her mother also used to take her to jazz saxophonist Bodil Niskas jazz café/recordshop "bare jass" (just jazz) in Oslo, to listen to the music of the jazz history - because that was what the little girl wanted to do. A fascinating kid

[@leamsilopez7451]

I would continue with the Norway's Got Talent performances so you can see how much she progressed in just a few weeks in the competition: I'm A Fool To Want You--Acapella--7yrs old Bang Bang-- 8yrs old Summertime-- 8yrs old But I would definitely suggest that you react to her cover of Screamin Jay Hawkins' I Put A Spell On You when she was just 9yrs old. It's a black and white video of her in the recording studio and you actually see Hawkins' face on a lit candle at the beginning of the video and she arranged the music for her cover. It is INSANE! Great reaction. Cheers!

[@anamartin7937]

BILLIE HALLIDAY WAS HER FAV FROM AN EARLY AGE

[@harryhthenorwegian476]

This girl is never nervous on stage. She just love to sing for people. 50 or 50 mill. It doesn't matter.......

[@dianedove1000]

Her grandmother used to play jazz music around the house, so she heard a lot of it growing up.

[@mortenhallangen1933]

My guess is she was a good singer in her previous life, and continued that while she was on the other side. There is nothing unusual i her upbringing, that could make her connect the song to her emotions in the way she does.

[@martimac4665]

Angelina is always barefooted, I'm beginning to think that is her trademark. On AGT, she was on stage barefooted. btw I love your reaction to her singing

[@zahrashehni8987]

I love your reactions to our angle. Thanks.

[@tonifoster4717]

Not only does Angelina sing, but speaks several languages, plays several instruments, arranges her music, writes and composes new singles, wrote a book, "Between Two Hearts", and had it published at age 9, sang at the Novel Peace Prize Concert in 2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4fcm3ind612l6c . And the cutest thing is watching her singing Adele for her class at age 7 ♥ Young man, you have a lot of catching up to do but it will be a most pleasant journey. Thank you for your excellent, qualified reaction. WARNING: Angelina Jordan can be addicting ♥

Caleb make a reaction to "i put spell on you" by Angelina Jordan performed when she was nine years old.

[@gro1248]

Angelina always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway. She write songs and play 4 or 5 instruments. She also paint and is going to art school.

[@gro1248]

Jordan has released multiple digital singles, two EPs, and one album called It's Magic, but has refused offers to be signed to any record label while she is still growing up.

[@harryhthenorwegian476]

This is VERY naturally from her skills man, not learned. She just GOT it in her genes..... And maan, how can you NOT cry when you're listening to this? Are you made of ROCK??

[@chrtravels]

Very good question about her upbringing. I had not heard anyone ask that yet but was wondering the same.

[@2211gk]

Next react to the "I am fool to love you" - acapella version on closed audition which got her selected for the NGT then "Bang Bang" - 2nd song on NGT then "Summertime" - 3rd song on NGT

[@judewheeler5368]

Angelina was exposed to jazz and began singing at age one & a half! She performs barefoot because of an encounter she had with a girl who had no shoes....she wrote a book about it. These days she designs her clothing. Also, she is deaf in her right ear. I adore her.

by the time angelina turned 2 she would go on utube find the songs she was drawn to - put them on repeat and practice .english is her 3rd language but she obviously didn't understand english then.all angelinas arrangements are hers.

[@charlessmith1092]

I enjoyed your comments and the fact that you want to know more. You will receive many suggestions. Rusty Shackleford (see below comments) is the keeper of a full list of her songs. I have also included a link to uploads by Boris Palenovski of an outdoor concert Angelina performed with the Norwegian military orchestra at age 12,. One of her songs is "It's a Man's World" that would leave James Brown speechless. Angelina is a journey. Feel free to venture on. kzbin.info/aero/PLbc1I8fGx6k0e7D4a35pAr9ZSEEjpMG0p

[@Sweetcheeks3623]

Her grandmother would listen to Jazz and she has been listening to this style of music since she was one year old. Her mother wanted her to sing twinkle, twinkle little star, but Anglina was not having it. She love jazz music.

[@xpost9381]

Nice reaction and you have a nice setup in your studio. Yeah, you can say that Angelina has many years of a head start on others. But this isn't athletics or something like that. Talking about chatching up doesn't make any sense. No matter how hard you train or work it does not help. You can simply not learn to sing like Angelina. She is born with these capabilities. She is a supertalented musical genius. But also for her training / practice is important for progress. I guess you need to be official spelled by Angelina. That is done by reacting to her black/white video of "I put a spell on you".

[@FlameCold258]

Here are my two favorite artists together! Born to Die - Angelina Jordan / Lana Del Rey - Mashup - kzbin.info/www/bejne/embUh3alYq-EZrM

[@tm13tube]

She started singing jazz songs when she was 18 months old. She has been self-directed about her music all along. She practiced during the week and gave a family concert on the weekend. Her mother said she found jazz on you tube. very early. She makes her arrangements.

[@anitawinkler6703]

Since everyone is having the same reaction to Angelina Jordan: disbelief...shocked... amazed, Ive decided to investigate to see if there is an ordinary explanation for her rapid and dramatic and extraordinary development. I'm not a psychologist, but information about "genius" characteristics can easily be found and seen with her. High IQ or genius (prodigy, gifted) characteristics include a more rapid mental development on all fronts: high facility to understand abstractions, innuendo and subtleties. Interestingly, obsession and total immersion in a subject is not unusual .A high demand for perfection in oneself and one's peers is also usual. I find real support for these ideas in her non-singing videos. ...In the nursery school setting, she didn't participate... and she vacated her seat before the end. Disgusted? ...In most of her younger at -play videos she has a bored look out the camera and doesn't smile... bet she wanted to be studying music instead ...she wanted to enter contests at 5ish but was too young to apply...already determined and obsessed with her music...I'll bet she viewed play was a waste of time. I'll bet (no proof), that she learned to read early! . That would certainly help with music as another way to learn...get info. I think as this type a child gets older, most learn to socialize; this is clearly happening with her. But, this is also a sign of intelligence. I don't think she came from another planet... She is just one of the special ones who is actually using her gift! A .

[@lengould9262]

Agreed. I previously speculated perfect pitch, a sense of rythym, and an IQ of 200+.

[@josephinefuentez-green1129]

Thank you...great read, explanation

[@penelopehayes8695]

There are videos of her in a recording studio/booth at the age of 6. Wow. In addition I’ve heard that she’s fluent in Norwegian and English. She plays piano, violin, and flute. This girl is unbelievable.

[@ooshta]

Thanks again Caleb for another awesome review & raw reaction. She has a God given gift. Angie is a prodigy. The Judges did thought she might be mimicking (after that performance) until they went back stage & watched her during a rehearsal. They saw & heard her commanding the NGT musicians how & what she wants. They said it themselves in an interview she's the real deal. Please react to Angie's rendition of " A million years ago" by Adele kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3mvpY2HaNh8rac

[@Mr.DamianM]

That little hair flip she does with her right hand before she starts singing is the same one she does, three years later, before absolutely slaying the end of "Feelin' Good". Also, kudos to the four judges who saw, heard, and accurately predicted her brilliant future, which we are so fortunate to be in the middle of watching unfold.

[@rayniecox7683]

I didn't realize how much she captured Billy Holiday until I went back and listened to the original and she does have it down pat. Love Angelina ❤️❣️❣️💙

[@dagfinnroesseland2655]

Angelina says she is never nervous on stage. She goes into "a spesial place" when singing. Her grandmother let her listen to a lot of jazz classics when she was very young. She found music and styles on you tube from 2-3 years old. Her family are protective and priority childhood and school. I have followed her from this gloomy sunday audition, and she has never disappointed me. She is great, and will be greater as time goes by.

[@CalebColesMusic]

Thanks for the info! Makes a lot of sense :)

[@jollyo9276]

I guess grandma was unabel to keep her away from those records, and I`m shure she didn`t mind to let her play them. Who would not wish to be there at that time, watching youn Angelina digging aand singing along to Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald . . . . ;-D

Nice reaction! Two videos I would recommend: I put a spell on you (in black and white, when she was about 8yo) and more recently when she was 10, her rendition of It's a Man's World. Both are astonishing in different ways. She has too many good songs (covers, mostly) to count. It's pretty rare that she has a "bad" song (her "bad" is most people's "best"). Something else you might be interested in: she wrote a couple songs: What is Life (a slow jazzy song) and Shield (you'll know what style it is when you hear it :-D ) Have fun discovering Angelina's world.

[@keithserafy]

Angelina is a child prodigy of youtube. Her mother, Sara Astar, said neither she nor her husband have any musical ability. She started listening to music on youtube for hours at a time. At about 1 1/2 she discovered Whitney Houston & there is a video of her singing "I will Always Love You" in her crib with a microphone almost as big as her. FYI, she recorded that song when she was 12 & it's beautiful. Her grandma, who is an artist, introduced Angelina to jazz at about 3 & that became her new genre of choice that remains today. She would practice singing a song during the week then perform it for the family on weekends. By the time she was 5, she asked her mom if she could audition for NGT, but she said she wasn't ready yet. So she practiced for 2 more years until her mom finally said she was ready. The rest is history. She attended a performing arts school in Oslo until 12. By that time the best voice coaches in Norway said they couldn't do more for her & they recommended they move to a music center in the US , so they moved to L.A. They go back & forth frequently. She turned 14 Jan 10, 2020 & is a freshman at a performing arts school in L.A.

[@winneryeahmate]

I mimic her path in some sense. My entire immediate family don't know where my singing skills come from, as no-one in said family can sing. But I'm nowhere near as good a singer as this :)

[@jeffreyjenkins1242]

As others have noted Angelina’s maternal grandmother (an Iranian artist of note) helped Angelina’s clear interest in jazz. Angelina’s mother (half Japanese, half Iranian, father is Swedish) noticed her singing in her crib at 18 months (there is video of this) and at about 2 Angelina started searching KZbin for music she liked. Her grandmother (Mery Zamani) started taking Angelina to a local record shop (real vinyl records) owned by a friend and fellow jazz aficionado. Angelina was there more formally introduced to the great jazz classics. There are a couple of videos of Angelina in the shop working out songs on the store piano and delving into bins of jazz recordings. By age 6 Angelina was in a recording studio (video of this also on KZbin). At age 7 she convinced her mother to allow her to try out for NGT. Her first audition was not Gloomy Sunday before an audience. It was actually another Billie Holiday song “I’m a Fool to Want You” done one a cappella for the judges with no audience besides the other performers. I actually like this performance better. That’s not right . It affected me more than Gloomy Sunday on a level I cannot explain. Anyway, she won NGT and the next 5 years are filled with hundreds of studio, live and home recordings of over 50 great artists along with 3 superb original songs. From the very beginning Angelina has selected and arranged all the songs she sings. She is very sure of herself and her choices in totally non egotistical way. I could write pages or talk for hours about her like the beautiful story that explains why she always performs barefoot even in the cold. I will leave that for you to discover. Angelina possesses a sweet, humble, compassionate and beautiful soul. She quite literally saved my life as I could not bear to leave a world or deny God’s gift of life when Angelina is my healing Angel.

[@pa1189j]

I think the impetus to her development came from her grandmother, Mery, who she clearly spent a lot of time with, and played jazz music to her quite a lot. She was taken to Jazz shops, browsed through old albums and listened there on headphones. Others may have detailed knowledge.

[@CalebColesMusic]

That would make a lot of sense!

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

I'm so glad to hear this, I heard that she was singing around age 2. Her family is multicultural and I believe both parents are academics. Her grandmother is either Iranian or of Iranian descent. She sings without shoes because she met a homeless girl who had no shoes, so she gave her shoes to the homeless girl. And, she's said that she won't perform with shoes until all children have shoes. Prodigy is most likely the appropriate description but also to be so socially aware at a very young age, kind of supports the old soul in a tiny body. Thanks for the reaction.

[@joekiplik9108]

She has a gift sir...born to sing that genre of music...at 7 it s hard to believe she had somekind of trainning ...she sang like she breath at that age ....it just flow naturally ....that is a pure gift sir

[@Dave-jo1hf]

Great reaction, thanks Caleb. Even at this early age she was able to sing different styles. You should at least listen to her next three. She performs another Billy Holiday tune a cappella "I'm a Fool To Want You". Then she changes styles for Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "Summertime" by Ella Fitzgerald. Thanks again for your time and insight.

[@MrBjonte]

Happy to see you checking out more from this wonderful girl!! No other singer, no matter age, has remotely the same effect on me. As if she’s found the frequency of my soul.

BTW, not only is she just 7 years old, but English is her third language. Nervous is not in her DNA.Her grandmother started playing jazz for her at 18 months old. When she went on AGT Champions she said that yes, she was 13 years old and she had been waiting Ten years to sing for Simon. Do the Math, lol. Her vocal covers are always informed by the original and then crafted to draw every ounce of emotion from the song.Check out Rusty Shackelford's list to keep going on the Angelina journey!

[@davidcochran6291]

The blond was Mom. I would encourage you to see her sing an acapella version of another Billie Holiday song, 'I'm A Fool To Want You'. I think questions of how she maintains pitch will be answered. The bare feet have a story of their own. Her family is well traveled and at least one grandmother is an artist. If fact the outfit she wore for her audition was a pattern from one of her grandmother's paintings, Angelina sewed it herself. She started singing at 11/2 years old and has been listening and singing to a lot of old jazz off of KZbin. I think she is a marvel. I am sure others have written all of this ahead of me so I'll just say I hope the industry doesn't ruin her, as they have with many talented young people. Until the next time.

She is a prodigy, no doubt. Thanks for your lovely, intelligent and respectful reaction, I really enjoyed this. Crossing my fingers you will do more with Angelina :)

[@brendaveselich3086]

She has a video 'I Who Have Nothing" (complete) She was 6 and you will find that she was holding back on NGT. This girl can and does sing in any genre. Fantastic!

[@donjones4719]

A good place to comment on the age error related to that vid. Caleb, you noted her one tooth, here at 7 well, she did have a bit of the other). The vid of 'I Who Have Nothing" mis-identified her as being 6 by the original poster. But you can see her teeth are more grown in, match the tooth pattern of her last Norway's Got Talent performances. So this was done at about her 8th birthday. Like any factual error introduced on the internet, of even in academic literature, it is nearly impossible to eliminate. Brenda, it's no fault of yours.

[@lucar01inos16]

"Quite special" is an acceptable understatement. She's downright phenomenal. I'd strongly recommend you try listening to her version of "I put a spell you"

[@terryfay885]

yes i still watch that one over and over...mesmerizing

Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes and runs an art studio, and has written a best-selling book. Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but from age 7years to 12 years old or so, even so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) she has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The grandmother on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather.

[@jetteart]

You should absolut listen to the next song - a cappella I am a fool to want you! Incredible. Her grandmother listen to old jazz 😃

[@charliwitty9053]

Yes

[@jacquespicotte8886]

No, Caleb, no, not nervous, according to her. Her trick? When i sing, i go in a world within where everything is pure and musical!!!! I make a distinction between receiving a musical gift at birth and developping a musical talent, an aptitude that only hard work and trainig exercises MAY produce greatness.To me, artistic gift and talent have nothing to do, in a specific sense, with semantics. I wonder if you would agree with me concerning that distinction in vocal art. Thank you, Caleb, for your reaction! Will you react to more Angelina s songs in the future? I am a subscriber to your channel.

[@BrimirMe]

Afaik her environment was not more musical than average, except for what she herself demanded. She got her granma to take her to jazz-cafe/recordshop and later she insisted on getting to sing in studio. I don't think she was getting any particular tutoring before school-age (6-7), but she did several studio-tryouts. She started later in an arts school, but she was obviously in a regular kindergarten, because there is a clip of her being thoroughly unimpressed by a christmas all song event. I'll leave you a few links and notes. I don't think these are particular interesting for vocal analysis, but they are interesting nonetheless: This is one of her earliest studio takes: Angelina Jordan rehearsal (Rolling in the deep) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g160pKOLi82li68 I don't think you can see any signs of particular coaching, only joy of singing. I think this is a good base-level to see how quickly she moved from being "just a child" singing at age 5-6 (talented and crazy about singing, but still a child), to a real artist, already at age 7-8. There must of course been several things inate, but I think most prominent her desire and commitment. The more you see from that age, the more you see, already then, she didn't leave anything to chance if she could avoid it. In this clip you can see her listening to herself afterwards, mostly goofing off, but also you get her sense interest in what's going on and relating to herself: Angelina Jordan in studio kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6amWCBr7xonLM This is particular interesting if you know norwegian. She obviously doesn't know the lyrcis by heart and must read. She makes a mistake, I think mixing two lines, which they talk about after. You see her noticing this during, making a clear display of dissappointment, but it doesn't affect her singing at all: Angelina Jordan - I Who Have Nothing - Complete performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJu0i354pbuUm9U Here you see her at age 8 displeased by the tempo of the orchestra: Angelina Jordan rehearsal (At Last) Part 1 2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIbClZV7eNSSa8k I see you probably have the equipment for it, are you experienced in waveform analysis? There are some things I am interested to have a literal technical analysis of, regarding her frequencies.

[@rogerfrood7377]

I was astounded when I first stumbled on this. It is amazing. It is also clear that her rendition is directly inspired by the Billie Holiday recording, and has been learnt by ear. In a couple of places her words are not the same as the original. This is not a criticism, just an observation that what we all discovered here was a slightly rough diamond, but clearly a gem from the start.

[@eTraxx]

an uncut diamond is still a gem :)

[@ericlevi5729]

Rumor is that on YOU TUBE there ISA video of her mother asking her to sing TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR and she sang ETTA JAMES at age 2!! She’s phenomenal and if the freaks in the music industry don’t mess with her she can be one of the greatest singers ever!! No BS she’s unbelievable

[@Atrulion]

2:54 No, she is not. That is the thing that makes me amazed. She said that she really is not nervous. (She said it later in Norway's Got Talent)

[@charlesbrown5505]

At 14 her truth is again being proved about the reason she performs barefooted! I read that though she has not signed with anyone...she has performed for many benefit concerts around the world and already at age 14...helped raise over 21 million £ “ is that the correct symbol for Euros” going toward child relief non profits! Blessings to your Blessing to all of us around the world who listen to you... and hear all that is common to us this crazy 2020 world. Keep it up...Angelina

[@debd7631]

You should react to her cover of I put a spell on you...she was about ten and you see her range as a jazz singer.

[@michaelgage9134]

She always sings barefoot. Look into that for the reason. But simply put, she goes barefoot to bring light to the HOMELESS

[@elaineparisi8626]

Hi Call, I am glad you started with that song, now go to Summertime, What a different a day made, and I Put a Spell on You ( black and white) and so on. Thank you for listening to that and great reaction!❗💜

[@JezaGaia]

My personal opinion on how she developed such an ear to detail is this : she has grandparents from at least 3 different countries (Norway, Japan and Iran I believe) and the languages from those countries have very different frequencies. It's hard for example to learn perfect Japanese as an adult because we have lost our ability to hear some of the frequencies that language uses and can't always distinguish between sounds that are different to them but not to us. I guess the fact that very young she was exposed to 4 different languages including English from the songs she listened to that she gained the ability to hear a lot of details that are not apparent to most people with only 1 or 2 languages.

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

OMG, I tried to hold off, but I can't take it anymore. Her entire life has been documented and is online. She's NOT a prodigy, I don't believe that people are born a prodigy. It's all about nurturing and access and, if you take the time to look her up instead of asking us, then you would know. When I first heard Angelina, I didn't ask other KZbinrs to research her for me. I did it myself. Look Her Up and you will know her status. Suffice it to say that Big Things are happening.

[@stellasweden]

Omg...speechless! And she's from Norway and the English are so good. No one has teaching her. She's a natural gift to the world! She's singing from 1 years and listening to KZbin! ❤️ so just search on KZbin and follow her site an fb.

[@rowenanunn590]

Angelina always sings barefoot.... there's a back story to it ❣✌🇦🇺

[@CalebColesMusic]

Look forward to hearing it!

[@do3aalghamdi228]

She saw a poor girl in the street not wearing shoes and she had a long chat with her so, she gave her her shoes and promised not to wear shoes until all children have their own shoes.

[@margarettresize2365]

There is 3 of her songs you need to listen (and hopefully react) to, her Black and white version of "I put a spell on you", "I have nothing" and "Million years ago" to get a true idea of this amazing young girl's range and abilities.

[@artfartzy]

Would love to see you react to her cover of summertime, from the same show.

[@michaelmontgomery2012]

I'm glad to see that you went back where it all began and since you seen her first performance I thing that it is worth checking out her semi final and the final her wining song Summer times it is just amazing, and I have been a fan of her since 2014 there has never been a singer quite like Angelina Jordan.

[@pa1189j]

Further to the development issue, after we attended her Oslo concert in 2018 we tracked down the jazz shop where I imagine a lot of inspiration took place. www.barejazz.no

[@oscresson]

Angelina started listening to jazz, and imitating it, at the same age when children learn to speak. It is her mother tongue.

[@downeastlady]

I haven't read all the comments below but her "ear" for music is, I think, natural. She plays (besides singing) three instruments piano, violin and flute and speaks three languages. Thank you too for your nice reaction.

[@olaknutolsen4424]

Yes. She is the real deal. Try ‘Summertime’ from the same competition. I have an old double LP with ‘Ella & Lois’ singing the whole opera. Yes - it’s an opera. And was emazed of her ability to mimic most of Ella’s performance. What a great sense of rythm’s. For a while some said; she’s just a mimic. Like a parrot. So what’s wrong with learning from Ella ? In the meantime, she’s stepped ahead and has the ability to make most songs ‘her own’. BUT always a bit of jazz ! She’s also tried a Whitney song. OK I guess. BUT she can go really high AS well. We are AS exited AS you are to see where this will go. Shewas asked some time ago about her best memory so far: Being invited by Quincy Jones to sing on HIS birthday. Yes; she’s been around. And AGT stage brings no fear !

[@103mrg]

ola knut Olsen Recorded at 10, I think this version of Angelina's Summertime is by far her best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Wsm4Bph6xpe6M
