The black-and-white version of I put a spell on you was my 1st step into the rabbit hole. After that I was so intrigued that if I'm going down the rabbit hole, I thought to myself, that I should experience the beginning of Angelina Jordan's Initial spark. Norway's got talent I found that to be the initial public spark of Angelina Jordan She was 7. I would personally recommend you begin there

[@MAGAisacult]

She's 16 now, over 6' tall and beautiful. Her voice keeps getting better and better. She's a miracle of nature.

When I first ran across this, I was like what?? what did I just witness here. She is incredible. Listen to her cover of Adele's Easy On Me....the emotion that Angelina has is beyong even Adele. Crazy...simply crazy

[@Sanguo3]

I watched several reaction videos in this song and the best part is seeing when the spell hits and it dawns on the person what they are seeing

[@i.m.7710]

I have watched this video hundreds of times...mostly with reactions. It's a masterpiece on all levels. The first time watching this video I was concerned a young kid could ruin her voice, and wondered about stage parents. I have learned Angelina is the driver. Her mom said on a TV interview that she is there to "put the brakes on". 🤣🤣🤣 I have watched hundreds more of her reactions on many songs. When the agt performance happened a few days before she turned 14, I couldn't keep up with the avalanche of reactions. That wasn't even my favorite song, but she got the golden buzzer. So many great songs. Enjoy the rabbit hole! I love "I'm still holding out for you." Age 10.

[@103mrg]

I.M. Your concern about her voice was well-founded. She never performed this song again with the growls and screams we hear in this video for that very reason.

[@petercarter3981]

Because she arranges all her songs this band gave her the nickname "the Boss", for her intelligence and knowledge and ability . Which nickname has stuck with her from all the best musicians who play with her.

THIS NEVER! GETS OLD!!! I long ago lost count of how many times I've watched this performance - well over a hundred by now, at least. The original shock subsided after twenty or so listens, but the amazement has never faded. Watching this one is still just as enjoyable as the first one was. And this is just the tiniest tip of a very, very large iceberg. Enjoy the ride, and hang on tight, because it just keeps coming and coming and coming....

[@louisegogel7973]

🩵🎶🦋🎵 I’m so glad you reviewed Angelina’s singing, and this is an awesome song to start with. I started with her NGT performances ten years ago. It’s so wonderful to have been watching her musical journey, and now she’s graduated from High School. And I am going to see her for the first time on September 22nd in New Hampshire when she performs there!

[@fr57ujf]

I've been an Angelina Jordan fan for two years. When I first heard her on Norway's got talent, I couldn't believe my earsa and eyes. Today, I still can't believe my ears and eyes. You said it. The emotion is so palpable. And her voice is so soothing and caressing. And her vocal control and vocal effects are amazing. She is a wunderkind. Thanks for reviewing it. I never get tired of hearing her.

She directs the band! Always has, she’s old here at 9, go back to at least age 7 and listen you will be forever be amazed from then on, it never stops

[@musicluvr70]

I'm sure I won't be the only Angelina fan (she calls us her Angels) subscribing to follow your journey of discovery with this young lady. You will get TONS of requests for any number of the other 140 or so videos she has on KZbin. All of which I might add, are impressive in their own right. She has learned from listening to all the greats from Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, James Brown, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Amy Winehouse, Rhianna, and Adele, and you will hear bits of all of them when she sings, sometimes more pronounced than others, but make no mistake, she is not imitating any of them. She has her own style, and is uniquely "Angelina". She owns nearly every cover she does, and in my opinion, does the majority of them better than the original. I feel there is no genre she can't do, and the more you explore her, you will see why us Angels feel the way we do. Thank you for doing this reaction, as it made my evening. Even after hearing most of her songs hundreds of times, she still manages to tug at my heart and pull tears from my eyes.

[@pallen49]

I'm sure you know by now that little girl ( 9 years old ) is now 17 and about 6 ft tall...She's not only a prodigy, but she has turned into a super model, and a living goddess as well..Our AJ truly have so MUCH greatness going for her..Charisma, charm, the looks, and of course THE voice...Great reaction my friend. Cheers..

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

At only 9 years old it was already very apparent that we are witnessing the birth of a legend. It was even apparent at 7. And even more impressive than any one of her performances, is how consistently she is this good, and in how many ways she is able to express the emotions of the songs she sings. Just as you said, you can't fake this. I encourage everyone to go check out Angelina's official and cover channels. There's so much more to hear from Angelina! And I always try to leave this little bio for those just discovering Angelina, so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina 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 as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...barefoot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - 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 whole 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" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed 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 came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in 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 cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and 7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. - Updates: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven" She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!

Molly I subscribed after my first viewing of your reaction but am writing this after watching for the third time. You made great comments for a first time reactor to Angelina. Early in the performance, you said you were confused with such a mature voice was coming from such a young girl. When I started watching Angelina videos, my brain would ache because it was so confused, but I kept watching because the quality of her music was the best I ever heard. I have been a angel (fan) for about 16 months now and I am still learning about Angelina. There may be other vocal prodigies, but none who accomplished what Angelina did at such an early age. She is a once in forever musical artist and the most amazing thing to me is the incredible emotion Angelina conveys. No vocalist ever made me cry in 62 years until Angelina came into my life. While soul singers may touch your soul, Angelina's magical voice hugs your soul. I am certain listening to Angelina is healthy in many ways and will improve the quality of your life, especially once you understand the person Angelina is and what is important to her. Molly, enjoy your journey down Angelina's rabbit hole.

The First Hand Experience I had was that I was struck by a Thundebolt Lightning. She sang with such a soul as it was her song only. She renedered in the way as she had absorbed the complete song in herself. The Norwegian Band was so so Wonderful Complementing her at all the Step. Not a beat was like Music was overpowering her Voice. She is a Child and Vocal Prodigy who understands Music. You dont see such Kids in Today's generation. She was Nine and such an profound understanding of the Music and the Arrangement is her's. She is known as the Boss of all the Songs she covers.

[@nmfn2011Pine]

I'll add to the shoe story. She was 6, in Iran, it was cold, she met a little girl who was a street vendor and talked to her, probably in Farsi (Iranian). She ended up giving her her beloved green boots. She then went back to Norway and wrote in her diary (yes, this 6 year old had a diary) that when she did this a door opened in her heart and she climbed a stairway to heaven. "It is such great thing to help another person." After that she vowed to perform barefoot to remind us that there are children in need. She has since raised millions for kids' charities. She then wrote a book about this, illustrated by her grandmother, and became the youngest published author in Norway. Just your average 6 year old--genius.

[@sanzalure6091]

Most reactions focus on Angelina's voice and stage presence. In some reactions, like yours, people wonder what a little nine years old girl can know about the love problems of the grown ups? Well, it seems she knows a whole lot more than that about the world of adults. In order to get exactly the sound she wanted to get, that little 9 years old girl successfully surrounded herself with the best musicians, very skilled sound technicians in a well equipped studio, a really talented cameraman and the director Peir Heimly to make this timeless music video piece of art. At the beginning of the clip we see Angelina writing on a sheet of music and then we see the musician reading Angelina's instructions. This establishes clearly that she's the one calling the shots in the studio. She's the one who heard the original Screaming Jay Hawkins song, changed the lyrics here and there, removed things here, added things there, and rearranged the whole damn thing. And I agree with you that her version is unlike any other. I have viewed countless reactions since I first saw «I put a spell on you» on March 19, 2017 (according to my browser's history). Some reactions are better than others. But good or bad, all those reactions pull me back into Angelina's world. In these times where the whole world seems to be collapsing, Angelina's music is really helping me stay sane. And reactions like yours help me reconnect to my original emotion, deeper and deeper as more layers of consciousness are added to the song.

To say she has had that "presence" all her life is probably an understatement. There is a clip of her at 18 months old, laying in her bed, when someone puts a karaoke mic in her hand and she starts singing along with Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You, her arm thrown out as she puts all of her little toddler voice into the chorus. I'm sure it was just a cute video of a little girl singing at the time but in reality it was a fuse that was lit and she has never stopped working at her craft. People wonder how a child can sound like she has years and years of experience it is quite simply because by the time she recorded this at 9yo she had already been singing 7-1/2 years.

Oh boy. Another reactor hitting that "speechless" plateau, AJ fans! And she's addressing this slightly nuanced feature: "She's inhabiting this song." YES. I had to restart the video. And I watched it a dozen times in a couple of days. To Molly - you're facing a choice: go New or go back to her younger performances? (She only has a handful, but there are 4 videos from her Norway's Got Talent show two years earlier. Watching those, I had a better 'feel' for her ability to 'inhabit' a song from a long-gone era ('30s Billie Holiday, '30s Gerschwin, '60s Nancy Sinatra). Then I jumped to newer songs. You're facing a choice: Go Old First and give yourself 'supporting evidence' of her foundation... go New (Bohemian Rhapsody at Age 13, or Feeling Good at Age 10, or even her latest videos (Age 14-15). Eventually, though, you'll likely see all of them.

[@hdctx]

The first real glimpse of her talent was her school studio rendition of I who have nothing when she was six. Amazingly some of her most powerful performances were when she was 10 or 11. Her composure on stage in front of thousands is unreal.

[@DonaldLancon]

A "handful"?? Hmm… You must have *really* big hands. [wink] There are literally _dozens_ of reaction-worthy performances she did before this one (IPASOY). And if you want to count "everything" (i.e., every time she sang all or part of song, regardless of the context), there are actually nearly 100 different performances available on YT (that I've found, anyway) from before she turned 9. Just FYI. [grin]

[@MollyBeeReacts]

That is an incredibly difficult choice to make! On the one hand, I'm tempted to jump into watching something like Bohemian Rhapsody, simply because I'm so curious as to what a performance of that song would look like from her! But on the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the feelings brought about by watching her and listening to her here, and I think it would also be beneficial for me to start earlier on in the beginning (so to speak) with her other older covers. That would also give me the opportunity to watch how she's grown and changed in more of a chronological order. It'll be a tough choice! haha

Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 140 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance. Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 15, she is a seasoned performer with 9 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

Thank you so much for all of this wonderful background information and for your list with all of the links as well!!! This is very helpful for me, since she has such a large number of works and performances that people are recommending - it's much simpler having so many of them easily accessible and listed out in this way!

[@andywampler9273]

Great reaction. I especially liked when you pointed out that she “inhabited” the song. For me the most amazing thing is not her stunning voice, rather it’s her phrasing and delivery of message. I honestly think that she is able to equate sounds and vocal intonation with emotions. Have you ever seen another singer that brings about goosebumps in nearly everyone who hears her. I’ve never seen anyone or anything like it. Love your reactions. Hope you’re well today..

- and her 'forceful drive' also earned her the nickname "The Boss" from the musicians in the video. 😋

Welcome to Angelina's world. Enjoy the journey

[@johnvasi]

Just start listening. She is the best singer I’ve ever heard. I Put a Spell on You is amazing, but it’s an unusual type of performance for Angelina. Her span of styles and genres, even before 10 years old, is hard to believe, but just listen. Now in her teens, Angelina’s voice is unique and beautiful, and you’ll see that she puts her heart and soul into every song. Yes, try Bohemian Rhapsody for Angelina at 13, but try Summertime to see an 8 year old giving us beautiful, nuanced jazz. She’s the best.

[@MollyBeeReacts]

I'm very much looking forward to hearing (and seeing) more of her performances! I'm curious, since you say this is an unusual type of performance for her, to see how her other works differentiate from this particular cover. Her voice is absolutely unique and beautiful - that I can already see! Looking forward to seeing what else she does!

[@TheGadgetwiz]

These are absolutely the two best performances to start with.

[@larrymickelson600]

Why does no one ever recommend her 6 year-old performance of I Who Have Nothing? She is so cute and so incredibly surprising.

[@davidphillips4476]

Old Old soul in a very young body..that voice shouldn't come out of a body that size. She is now 15 and 6' tall and even more incredible. She is truly a vocal freak of nature, especially when you find out she arranges all of her music. Her Bohemian Rhapsody is one for the Ages from AGT. "all I ask" and her new originals are awesome..well everything she touches is.

[@angelightification]

She started listening & singing Jazz at the age of 1 1/2. And she has over 140 covers & already signed with Republic.

[@andyschnell58]

Molly many thanks for reacting to Angelina Jordan who was 9 years 2 months old for this performance. At the start of the beginning of the video you can see her writing her 'wishes' for how she wants to sing the song and then those wishes are reviewed by one of the musicians. Angelina has always created her own arrangements and is blessed with the most soulful, emotional voice of my 62 years. She is a true music prodigy but blessed with a set of skills unlike any before her. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better person, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on KZbin. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. 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. 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.” 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. Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on KZbin recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on KZbin went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on KZbin. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On KZbin, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible until she completes high school and so far it appears that is the plan. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.

Great great reaction Molly. What I was thinking and feeling after the first time hearing this, is actually so close to exact what I think and feel to day, after several hundreds of times listening to this performance, as to all of the others by Angelina. Pure awe and mind-boggling. Imposible to reason at all about her performance. It`s all about enjoying, take in and let her put this great soulful and heartfelt smile to my face. You may pick any of her performance videos, and feel much of the same. Her creativity and versatility are amazing. "You ARE music" - was a statement from one of the judges as she auditioned to the "Norwegian Talents" show in 2014. She was 7 years old at that time.
