Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmHJZKdpmdJ1mM0

Thank you for the information

Angelina is actually only 9 years old in this video. It’s less than a year after her final winning performance on Norways Got Talent at age 8. This video was posted about a year and a half after the performance.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

That's great. I wish it had said that in the description somewhere, but I didn't see anything about it

[@roncowan5218]

Angelina Jordan was 7 going on 8 when she won "Norway's Got Talent " and 9 when she did "I Put A Spell On You ",by the way she did the arrangement on this cover. She took the "Screaming Jay" Hawkins version,which was Blues and put a Jazz spin on it and made it more dynamic with her vocals. Probably the best performance by a 9 year old ever,not just because of the voice,but,her application of the various vocal techniques and nuances and her sense of timing,Angelina Jordan is a prodigy,without a doubt.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Oh wow. I did not know that. Thank you for the information

[@OleOlson121]

My thoughts on this performance. I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻

Angelina a nine year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy. She has God given talent that is how she does this! Takes Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 classic and rearranges it into this masterpiece. Notice the last minute changes she handed to the individual. She has been doing this since she was seven years old! Amazing control. A master storyteller teller at nine! Affectionately known as the “Boss” by her band! 🇳🇴🇺🇸See her in studio at seven years old kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJu0i354pbuUm9U 🇳🇴🇺🇸 She is now 18 years old! Angelina is known for only doing one take possibly two to complete a song, there is no auto tune used in any of her songs, pure Angelina! When she was 11 she opened for Norah Jones at her South Korea concert singing I Put A Spell On You! kzbin.info/aero/PLqV9F8qHdpZjQ3BghLSPQuPDjKsxkd2Tj Interview No Shoes While Performing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJosi=Vij1x7rYJ7BTgMvv The meeting with the girl was in the Middle East most likely Iran! Watch the interview it reveals so much about Angelina!

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I figured she was just handing him the song she wanted to play. I didn't think she was making last minute changes. That's pretty cool

[@johnvasi]

This is a tribute to Screamin Jay Hawkins’ version of this classic blues song from the 1950’s. Angelina will astound you across many different genres from age 7 to now at 18. This was her own arrangement. She’s 9 here, by the way. Her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on Americas Got Talent at 13 (also her own arrangement) is maybe the best live performance I’ve ever seen.

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you for featuring Angelina again. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on KZbin, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below, (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. (k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying. (l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella! Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.

@@AceofBadeReacts Song for A is the Robert Burns poem Among the Rigs o barley put to music by a Russian composer who asked Angelina to sing it for an original album he was making. While the poem has been sung before to Celtic and country beats never to anything classical like this. It's absolutely beautiful. Angelina was 13 when she did it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCWnpuuhbJgq6Msi=CDHzGXrFQ3xxJe7k It is so different that I really consider it an original.

🎉🎉🎉 The Barefoot Princess - (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.) Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need. Angelina released a new original in her Las Vegas debut, entitled PRINCESS OF RUINS. An amazing fan video was created by Joey Farr for this song at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g53VfZ6OpdOjgrssi=EmiBTt1E387S4f4K

There are so many dimensions to her talent it's almost unbelievable. As a judge told her during one of her performances, "You ARE music."

Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6 For those that do not know. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. 'Between Two Hearts Why Angelina sings barefoot interview.

She was nine here....Great reaction

[@ronraskind]

Guys, wonderful commentary and reaction. The following may have some redundant information that you already are aware of, but fills in a lot of the details. Angelina Jordan Astar, born on January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway, showed a passion for singing at an incredibly young age. At just one and a half years old, she sang in her crib, inspired by Whitney Houston's performances on KZbin, and by the age of three, she was already listening to jazz and classic legends on her iPad. While her grandmother, artist and poet Mery Zamani, was the greatest influence of her early musical tastes, it was Angelina who ultimately decided to pursue a career in music, with great support from her family. At the age of six and seven, Angelina had her very first studio performances, singing "Rolling in the Deep" and "I Who Have Nothing." However, it was at the age of eight that she gained viral fame by winning Norway's Got Talent. Singing old-time classics from artists like Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, she became one of the youngest vocalists ever to win an international Got Talent show. Her rendition of Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" at the age of nine is considered one of the best performances by a vocalist of that age. She is truly a prodigy. By the time Angelina was eleven, she recorded her album "It's Magic," which consistently charted as one of the top 10 best-selling jazz albums. With over 130 covers of songs from 80 different artists by the age of 13, and over 200 to date, Angelina always adds her unique touch to each rendition. Here is a semi-chronological KZbin playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. kzbin.info/aero/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu In 2019 and 2020, at the ages of thirteen and fourteen, Angelina once again gained viral attention on America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her unique versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" impressed not only Simon Cowell but also earned her the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. The surviving members of Queen also praised her performance. Perhaps most astonishingly, Angelina sings in English, her third language. During her earlier years, and especially after her America's Got Talent performances, multiple record company executives took notice of Angelina's talent. However, her family declined their offers, prioritizing her education and a normal childhood. It wasn't until she turned fourteen that a contract was signed with Republic Records, marking the start of her career. Between the ages of eleven and twelve, Angelina even composed her first three original songs: "What is Life," "Oslo," and "Shield." In November 2020, at the age of fourteen, she released the song "Million Miles" as a tribute to her late maternal grandfather. This marked her first release under Republic Records, and a year later she followed it up with her jazzy and upbeat single, "7th Heaven." Why does Angelina perform barefoot? It all stems from a promise she made to herself at the age of six. While traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, they encountered a young orphan girl who had no shoes and had scarred feet. This girl weighed people with scales to earn money. Angelina gave her own favorite shoes to the girl, and when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the girl said she wanted to be a doctor but couldn't because she had to take care of her siblings. When Angelina was asked the same question, she said she wanted to sing for the world. The young girl promised to pray for Angelina. Since that day, Angelina has performed barefoot as a reminder of those less fortunate. At the age of nine, she even wrote a book about this experience titled "Between Two Hearts," becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. Aside from her music, Angelina is known for her charitable nature. She has helped raise millions for children and environmental causes, mostly from performances at fundraising events. At the age of eight, she even pledged to donate her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children in need. She has performed for heads of state in various countries to raise money for charity and during the pandemic, she was seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. Throughout her career, she has continued to prioritize helping those in need. Now that Angelina has recently turned eighteen, her activities with Republic Records have multiplied. She released her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" on May 5th, 2023, followed by her EP "Old Enough" in July, featuring five new original tracks. Her song "Our Time" has been featured in a commercial by SoFi, a finance company, and is played regularly at Sodi Stadium. Additionally, it has been heard on various radio stations. Angelina's performances have taken her to numerous high-profile events. In December 2022, she performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles, and in February 2023, she performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, reaching an audience in the millions. She was also invited on Germany's Next Top Model in 2023 by Heidi Klum. On November 25, 2023, Angelina had the honor of attending Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. Additionally, she was invited to perform at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, on December 11, 2023. Narges is an activist for women's rights who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran. This performance held great significance for Angelina and her family, as her grandmother Mery Zamani grew up in Iran. They hope that Angelina's performance, combined with Narges' story, will inspire change and raise awareness of her mission. Most recently, Angelina performed two shows in Las Vegas on the same stage that Elvis Presley graced for many years. Her new song, Princess of Ruins, is a tribute to the young girl Angelina gave her shoes to when she was 6 years old. This should be Angelina's anthem. Angelina's humble and compassionate nature is what makes her so special, in addition to her music. Since childhood, her goal has been to sing for the world and spread love and peace, and she is well on her way to achieving that. Peace and love.

Thanks for the wonderful and amazed reaction, this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent and also a great musical masterpiece. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding for music in a splendid way, especially with these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤

[@clmenterprises08]

"I put a spell on you " was written and performed by Screaming Jay Hawkins. Angelina does her on arrangements and renditions of all the songs she Covers as well as her own originals and this version of this song is her arrangement and all of the professional musicians refer to Angelina as the Boss. Angelina has been in the studio since she was 5 years old doing recordings and she plays the piano, the guitar, the violin, and the flute.

[@andyschnell58]

#Jay Hawkins. Great job with your reaction and research. I even learned some things about the original song. Angelina was near her 9th birthday for this performance and the video was uploaded about a year later (no idea why). Here is a summary of Angelina's book, "Between Two Hearts" which tells the story of why she always performs barefoot. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina never learned the orphan's name but called her Princess. The orphan girl replied, "princesses live in castles, we live in ruins". Angelina titled her song about this story, "Princess of Ruins". Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website.

Exploding musical Dynamite !!!

[@kenscott8966]

It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...She is simply the best...👍👏

Recorded in 2015 when Angelina was only 9 years and 2 months old, but only uploaded in 2016.

[@gottabeemee]

There's SO many who haven't listened to this yet...but as of now "11 MILLION" views and STILL counting. Her resume' is longer than a giraffe's neck!!! She has "75 MILLION" views on her Bohemian Rhapsody video. Angelina IS a child prodigy equipped with the ability to add just the right amount of EMOTION to ANY song...Amazing given she hasn't had many of the life experiences of the original singers. NO ONE can reach into your heart and string stars around it like Angelina. ONE OF A KIND, HEART OF GOLD, IMMENSLY TALENTED, ...a gift to this world. PEACE!!

[@clmenterprises08]

Angelina's grandmother Mery Zamani is the videographer who has captured and chronicled Angelina's journey and history from her cell phone as this recording was done since Angelina was born. Mery Zamani was a child artist and is a prolific painter and you will see a lot of her paintings in background of many of the cover songs that Angelina has done. Grandma Mery Zamani is Angelina's greatest inspiration for whom she deeply loves ,admire and adore.

So cool

[@jamescanole3940]

She's 9 here! Oh.....she also did the arrangement of this version of the song.

[@jeffthebeeguy]

One mind bending performance after another. Even at 18 she is still a wonder and I believe she always will be.

[@leechap3]

Most folks who first discover Angelina with this one go next to Bohemian Rhapsody, that's where she got introduced to American audiences, she was 13, after that take your pick, you can't miss with her.

[@silversurfer8278]

Angelina Jordan was 9yr 2m old when she recorded this, about 13 months after she won "Norway's Got Talent" just after her eighth birthday. It is her own arrangement of the original Jay Hawkins classic, and in the video you see the handwritten notes she wrote for the band-leader.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

Actually it was slightly less than a year after she won NGT.

[@silversurfer8278]

@@johndoe-gt6gp Oh, OK. Do you know the actual dates? Thx.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

@@silversurfer8278 Not off the top of my head. I’d have to go back and look them up. But she was 9 years 2 months old when she recorded IPASOY, which would have been the first part of March 2015. The finals for NGT were done at around that same time in 2014. April or maybe May 2014.

Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.” Angelina made official music video with waitress dreaming, then dancing and singing with Angelina: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6OvmoqsrN-VeaM) -- Billie Jean (as 15-year old, Angelina completely turns Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit song on its head by doing a jazzy version that re-invents the song to something different than original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqGZaJ5vrNBlg9k) -- You Say (as 15-year old, Angelina exquisitely covers Lauren Daigle’s hit song (over 6 million units sold) that won a Grammy Award and was lead song on her 2018 album Look Up Child: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3ybe4Kaabt8ps0) -- Suspicious Minds (as 16-year old, music video shot in LA antique store.

[@zeuso.1947]

The confusion about Angelina's age is because the video was recorded when she was 9 , but was not released until she was 10. So you can't go by the release date of the video to determine her age in the video.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Yeah I was thinking she didn't look 10 here

[@anitaherbert1037]

Please watch her most recent. A sneak peak it hasnt been released yet. She has shoes as its a piano bar where health and safety did not allow bare feet but shes with 3x Grammy winner Toby Gad who wrote this songvwith her and for her. He gave permission for James to put it out. BAD VALENTINE

In an interview she explains the bare feet - Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV "Lindmo" 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) .. in Norwegian but has English subtitles. See if KZbin will let me put in the link . .if not just use the search. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo Watching this . .my firm belief is that this is what people talk about when they speak of an Angel on Earth (or at least an avatar)

You have some catching up to do. I recommend you listen to "I Who Have Nothing" in the style of Tom Jones at age six. The performance that exploded her fame is "Bohemian Rhapsody" on Americas Got Talent at age 13.
