First time hearing Angelina Jordan’s wonderful Bohemian Rhapsody

[@rogerandrus1806]

Heidi gave her the golden buzzer, and they have remained close ever since. Last week Angelina and her mom attended the opening of Heidi's new restaurant and her massive Halloween gala in NYC. Angelina calls Heidi her "other mama"!

That’s so nice ❤️

Thank you Thale most of us have seen this performance multiples of hundreds of times and it is always amazing , she is a unique artist and individual we have come to adore her and feel so proud of her not just her giant talent but the beautiful soul she is that you feel when she sings , there is no one like her , she brings so much joy and love into the lives of everyone who truly experiences and follows her . 💜👣😇

I feel like the candle supporting the flame that is Angelina. When she finishes a song I always just become a puddle ❤❤👣❤❤

For everyone who doesn't know yet: Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrengement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (There are now over 20 million streams on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗

1. There isn't one day I don't listen to this version of Bohemian Rhapsody from Angelina. Not a single day. Always from reactions, and I must say that the best reactions came from reactors who have never heard of Angelina before. I watched reactions 5 or 6 times ever since this came out in Jan 2020. I've seen vocal coaches stunned, jaws dropping and tears running down from some reactors' cheeks. This rendition of the iconic Queen's Bohemian rhapsody is top notch. Thanks Thale for your reaction. By the way, I gather you're norwegian. It's funny that you haven't heard of Angelina before as you mentioned in your previous videos?.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

It was amazing indeed, and yes I’m a Norwegian. I tend to lean towards electronica, techno and metal. Since I don’t watch tv, and thus things that are from there pass me by I’ve not ended up with anything exposing me for wonders like Angelina. I am probably a part of a small minority who haven’t heard her before now, especially with the skill she’s shown ❤️ I am very glad, and grateful, that I can dive into her music now ❤️❤️

Angelina Jordan Astar was born on January 10, 2006. She recorded this performance in late October 2019 and it aired on January 6th, 2020. Angelina is having a intimate Christmas concert, on December 14th, in Los Angeles. Please visit her official website for tickets.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thale thank you for this beautiful reaction. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic Queen's song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation and make such an intimate and emotional version at just 13 years old! This is a splendid example of Angelina's extraordinary and unique talent, her extraordinary intelligence and unique musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms the great songs she loves so much. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, despite the fact that she has listened to her hundreds of times. 💛🧡❤

[@poolhallshark]

Beautiful reaction again, Thale 🙂 This performance earned her The Golden Buzzer from Heidi Klum, and you're absolutely right in assuming that this was her own arrangement of the song. As a matter of fact, the remaining members of Queen were so impressed by her performance that they pinned it on their social media, saying "WOW! What a rendition! ". They even gave her the copyright to her rendition, which is quite remarkable by a band that's normally known for being VERY protective of their material. I guess it speaks directly to her incredible skills on many levels. She performed the song on Allsang På Grensen when she was 16, the same arrangement obviously, but another 3 years older. Performing live on a stage for the 1st time since the pandemic struck in 2020. On that show she also performed "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston, which is another MUST WATCH. You're also almost right that her birthday is late in the year. As a matter of fact it's 10 days into the year; her birthday is January 10th. I really hope you'll continue on your Angelina journey, there are SO many incredible performances by her it's not even funny😅 In the meantime, have an amazing week ahead! Much love from a countryman ♥♥♥♥♥

The metamorphosis of AJ ************************************ Angelina Jordan's evolution from a child prodigy to a full-grown artist is a testament to her enduring talent and the natural progression of life. It's not uncommon for fans to feel nostalgic about artists they've followed since childhood, but growth and change are intrinsic to the human experience. As Angelina transitions into adulthood, her style and presentation may change, but what remains constant is her unique voice that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Her journey reflects the transformation every artist undergoes, adapting and maturing both personally and professionally. This metamorphosis often brings a deeper, more resonant voice and a presence that resonates with both the innocence of youth and the wisdom of experience. Angelina's ability to maintain her signature sound while enhancing it with the strength of adulthood is what makes her a true phenomenon in the music industry. PS. If anyone questions her abilities as an adult, all one has to do is experience her performance in Dec. of 2023 at the Nobel Peace Prize on Oslo, Norway when she performed the most exquisite performance in my lifetime of Unchained Melody with the KORK Orchestra, no one on earth could have performed it better.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Thale, when she appeared on this Show, in reality she was not a contestant. Instead, she was a Celebrity Guest performing for the audience and all of America at the same time. With all that on the line her poise and confidence never dissipated and her genuine soulfulness transformed into the purest form of love and touched all our hearts, giving us goosebumps, starting to tear up (with an urge to cry) and finding it difficult to speak normally during or right after she sang for us. And, you know what? It will never change. The love exchange between the both of you is a two way street and what is so amazing she has enough love in her heart to affect people all over the world.

robert "in reality she was not a contestant." Where'd you come up with that nonsense. I guess in the pre-interview when she said, "I really hope to win the show." she was lying.

[@paulwagner9303]

Robert may have exaggerated a little in his choice of words, but his statement is probably essentially true, given the nature of these types of shows. @103mgr given the entire pre-interview (not just the last few lines), it has always been my belief that she was (albeit reluctantly) following the show's script, i.e. lying out of politeness.

[@103mrg]

[@paulwagner9303]

When you're a singer taking part in a talent competition like this, you have about 2 minutes on stage - so you can't perform a song as long as Bohemian Rhapsody in its entirety, you have to shorten it and reduce it to its emotional core - and Angelina Jordan is excellent at that (because she learned that very early on, even before she took part in Noway's Got Talent). As for AGT being huge, that's relative. When NGT' 2014 finale with Angelina aired, 1.033 million viewers tuned in live (Norway's population at the time was around 5 million). That's why some commenters are quite surprised that you've never heard of her, but if you never watch TV that's understandable - her early public appearances were mostly on TV (NRK, TV2 Norway, ABC, TV4 Sweden, Singapore TV and the like). The 2020 census for the US was 331 million, which with the same reach would mean there must have been around 66 million Americans watching Angelina's AGT The Champions performances - in fact, episode 1 (Bohemian Rhapsody) had 8.06 million viewers when it aired, the finale (with Yellow Brick Road) had 7.16 million. As for future reactions, I strongly support those who recommended "Bad Valentine, Piano Diaries edititon" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3RaoeXn9iosM0 - although a double reaction together with "Bad Valentine, Hotel Cafe edition" kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XNq5uGiLuaq8U would be very telling.

[@103mrg]

eTraxx She didn't misspeak. The producers set it up because they wanted to compensate for the difference between the 2019 recording date and the 2020 broadcast date. So they had her say she won NGT at age 7 to enable her to correctly state her age of 13 when she was performing on AGT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmWvpJeEgr2SY5I

[@keithserafy]

The last judge, Heidi Klum, gave her the "Golden Buzzer" but that was cut, probably to avoid copyright problems. BTW, your math for her age was off because the whole show was recorded over a week or two in the fall of 2019, since this was the Champion's edition, for winners or finalists from other countries Got Talent Franchise. There were 50 Superfans (1 from each state) that voted, not the TV audience as they do in the regular summer AGT competitions. This performance was aired on Jan 6, 2020, just 4 days before her 14th birthday. Her 2nd & 3rd performances were in Feb 2020 after she turned 14, but 13 for all performances. If you want to see what you missed, here is a short video of the Golden Buzzer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKvmY1rg51gfJY

[@paulwagner9303]

Keith, do you have a source for saying there were 50 superfans (one per state)? As far as I know, the statement was "but there are superfans who represent all 50 states." But it was never said how many there were, nor whether they were chosen based on the Senate or House voting system.

[@keithserafy]

@@paulwagner9303 I don't remember where I read it, but I was watching her AGT performances in real time, since I had discovered her 2 years earlier. However, if there are 50 superfans representing all 50 states, then there has to be 1 per state. It was all very vague at the time & I wouldn't be surprised if they were just 50 buddies of Simon Cowell, who probably lived in the LA area. Who knows, but I'm pretty sure if TV viewers nationwide were voting, Angelina would have won.

[@tomwhite4736]

​@@keithserafy 50 superfans , one for each state is correct .

[@paulwagner9303]

@@tomwhite4736 I hope you don't feel offended when I ask for your source for this. What I know so far is the explanation that was given at the 12th Annual Shorty Awards when the system was awarded there. But that is of course a secondary source, it would be interesting if there was something completely first hand. Here is the explanation - and it is not "one per state": America’s Got Talent needed a real-time voting solution for their first-ever global brand extension America’s Got Talent: The Champions. With almost 50 former competitors returning from Got Talent series from around the globe and, fighting for the title of World Champion, NBC was looking for something unique. Unlike regular versions of the show that required viewers to submit online or text their votes, a brand-new voting method was created for a special superfan group. The superfans included voters from each state, making the panel a true representation of America’s vote. After viewing the performances, superfans would cast their votes via electronic keypads and were responsible for selecting the winner for each week’s episode. For six days, roughly 300 superfans from all 50 states gathered at the Pasadena Convention Center to watch and vote on the wide range of past Got Talent winners, runner-ups and finalists. Key Features - Data collected from “superfans” from all 50 states - Real time visualization on stage representing how the super fans voted and which regions favorited which acts - 300+ Superfans present for the shows - Six total shows using touchpad voting - Data collected and used in show: overall standings, state standings, gender, country region and age range - Votes recorded in real-time
