Her version of this song last year shows the improvement in her voice from when she was 12 here.

[@gebendeavors907]

---- Angelina was 13-years old when she sang I Have Nothing as a tribute to Whitney Houston ---- Angelina's first song being sung when she was 1 1/2 years old (yes, 18 months old!) was Whitney's song I Will always Love You that Angelina had seen on KZbin: - News Feature About Angelina Jordan on Norwegian TV 2 - March 2014 - Make Sure CC Clicked for English Subtitles This news feature was originally broadcast on Norwegian TV 2 the day after Angelina advanced to the live semi-final in 2014 Norway's Got Talent. During it you see Angelina singing at 1 1/2-years old. They interview Angelina and her mother Sara Astar which tells us that she started out watching KZbin videos and loved jazz. You hear snippets of her first recording session at Angelina's performing arts school in Oslo singing I Who Have Nothing when 6-years old. You hear Angelina tell us why she always sings barefoot. We are taken to one of Angelina's favorite hang-outs, the "Bare Jazz Kafé" (Only Jazz Café) in Oslo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anazoomsoc54bas ---- Among Angelina influences was Whitney Houston plus Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Amy Winehouse, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and many others ---- As a 16-year old, Angelina began singing I Have Nothing live at concerts and record a music video singing the song: - Sung live outdoors on the Norwegian TV 2 singalong show Allsang På Grensen...what makes this performance noteworthy, is that Angelina was asked to sing the song twice in a row because the TV people did not like the first shots as the wind was whipping around and was blowing Angelina's hair into her face...not many people could sing this song back-to-back, but Angelina did...the version that was published on KZbin by TV 2 was downgraded in dynamic range from the broadcast master quality yet is still fantastic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHavlJp3abhqo68 - Sung in music video shot in black & white in LA antique store: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4mTmGxvn7NlbLc - Sung live at her July 10, 2022 Kurbadhagen concert held in Sandefjord, Norway...what makes this performance noteworthy is that this was the 18th song she sang that was the last encore song after having sung 17 other songs over the course of over an hour...Angelina still has that powerful delivery of a difficult song to sing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmWbfJitjdKchqM - Sung live for Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffet visit to Republic Records studio in LA on September 13, 2022. Sugarfoot was the long time drummer for Michael Jackson who called him “Foot”. Sugarfoot also played for Madonna, Elton John, George Michael, Janet Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Qunicy Jones and many others. Angelina sang the song sitting down and cross-legged on the small studio stage. After Sugarfoot praised her saying “that was really extraordinary…on the spot, anytime you want, she brings it, incredible”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKonamIbthod9E

Nice to see you again. Be a while since I’ve been here

[@sunshinethruthestorms]

She's my favorite, I have listened to every one of her songs

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Angelina has a beautiful voice, Whitney would have loved this young lady for sure and sang right along with her.

[@andyschnell58]

This performance was the ONLY time we saw 13 year old or younger, Angelina appear to work and put effort into a song. All other performances are of the highest quality and each one appears effortless. Angelina just turned 17 and her first album on Republic Records is due this year with mostly, if not all, original songs. A world tour is likely to support the album and take the world by storm.

This was remarkable for her age but not for her talent. She is amazing! I agree with many below that you should watch the latest version of her doing this song at 16.

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction, Guys! She was 12 here, close to 13 🙂 Give her studio recording 5-6 months ago a listen , or her performance of it live on national television here in Norway in June last year. I'd actually prefer if you'd listen to her live outdoor television performance, because I think she sings it even better there than in the studio recording. How crazy does THAT sound, right ?? But that's the thing with her. She always sounds better live. Here is the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6LXeomPe8-UprM Greetings from Norway ♥♥♥

[@steelersgirl9636]

She doesn’t have control yet of her tone & pitch. At first she was almost screaming~not singing on the high pitch notes. But she’ll get there, the more she practices. But definitely NOT in Whitney Houston’s STATUS ! FYI~Whitney Houston’s Momma~Cissy sang with Elvis’ in his Female quartet “Sweet Inspirations!” She also sang back up for Aretha Franklin! That’s where Whitney got her practice & instructions from~Momma Cissy! 👏👏♥️

[@ryanjacob3338]

Like four people in all of history can stay on top of high notes like Whitney, easy power, and she's 12 here. A jazz, blues, soul singer with a low register that can move the earth, you should see her do Etta James, or even this song again at 16. The skillset and control of it is impossibly good. The voice, even better.

Great reaction. You both seem to appreciate great vocals, Check out her cover of Adele's Million Years Ago. Pay attention to the reaction of Ivan, the guitarist as he realizes how good she is sounding. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3mvpY2HaNh8rac She has an album coming out this year. I don't know what will be on it, but I sure hope she can catch on with your generation.

Nobody sounds like Whitney Houston ✨ (nobody even gets close)

[@AAndromeda-lw7fh]

... and nobody sounds like Angelina!! ... SHE has already OVERTAKEN many, like here at the age of 12!!!

[@tamitatangoto5134]

No, no, no I grew up with Whitney more than you guys did. Your just a couple of punk kids. This Angelina Jordon is a fabulous unique singer she’s just feeling her Oats, she hasn’t even started sounding like she’s going to as an adult woman. She’s probably 13 right here singing Whitney Houston’s song, and she did not meet the requirements to sound like Whitney Houston. That’s almost laughable. But she sounds like she’s in the works to become somebody. She hasn’t reached her potential yet, but she is extremely unique. I think she try’s too hard to sound like Whitney in this one particular session. I’ve heard her sing this song in other videos and she sings it more uniquely, making it her own instead of like Whitney. But she is going to be somebody BIG❤️‍🔥

[@kahurautao]

[@kevingood4644]

They have no need..they just saw the most jaw dropping rendition ever sing by a 13 yr old..they’ll only be disappointed 😁

[@lisacrandall3168]

She is amazing but a bit out of the pocket

[@sharonjarrett8953]

That was beautiful she has a beautiful voice but the only woman can sing Whitney song better than Whitney is Jennifer Hudson she sing this same song on the 54 Grammy Awards on CBS and see the difference Jennifer is a power house singer she even sing better than Mariah Carey too me she has a song “If it Isn’t Love “ she produced by Clyde Davis who was Whitney’s Music Producer she can sing please react

[@rw716]

I guess maybe you should try listening to her when she was a little older, at 16 years old. Being 13 years old here, I feel she wanted to challenge herself and push her vocals. In this version, she learned not to push too hard, to stay in her pocket, and arranged it to better suit her current voice. For me, this is a much better performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4mTmGxvn7NlbLc

[@velvetnightmare3133]

I think she's got a pretty good voice, At times she cuts it off too quick instead of holding long notes and sometimes it's gargly, but then I can't put my finger on it but her voice would be perfect for a different kind of singing. She sounds absolutely nothing at all like Whitney Houston, sorry dudes. :) nice cover tho

[@ryanjacob3338]

Yeah, world class jazz singer at 12 singing in her third language right. This was kind of a tribute, and kind of a vastly different style to add to the resume at the time. I think a lot of people who love her think she is better than Whitney Houston. I do, but not for singing Whitney in Whitney's style, more her body of work which was already a long list. Though at 16, more in her own style, she did it again and man it's a thought, to say she's better than Whitney even during her song where you shouldn't.

[@velvetnightmare3133]

@@ryanjacob3338 I just watched her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody and that was incredible. I hope she finds more music that she continues to do incredible with, Or people might think that she always sings like this.

I would like to see you react to Adam Lambert please. He has been the band Queen's front man for over 10 years now and is literally one of the best male vocalists in today. He has a number of really good songs to choose from but some of the best highlights are him singing Cher's song Believe to Cher at The Kennedy Center Honors, Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight with Queen, On the Moon from his home for the James Corden show or his cover of The Weekend's Blinding Lights, Closer to You (Live sessions) or Underneath at his show in Vegas. All are great. Thank you ☺️

You heard Whitney perform this at age 29 ANGELINA was aged 12/13 she did not have a bad day this was a tribute to whitney with a karaoke backing track following the same whitney arrangement. It wasn't perfect with her baby lungs reaching for breath near the end but it was a good performance .you're being rather harsh on a a 12/13 year old , do you think whitney could have performed this song as well as this at this young age.? this was ANGELINA being brave and pushing her boundaries if you play safe you won't progress now she aged 17 and has progressed leaps and bounds , she will graduate in June followed by her album release with republic records ( umg) later in year ,she has every opportunity to become a hugely successful world class artist.☺

She is fabulous but for the first time I think in this one she took on a bit too much.
