Great reaction 🙂 Angelina was 10 here, in one of several performances together with KORK, the latest one being on her Nobel Peace Prize concert on December 11th 2023, performing "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers, a song from 1955. I really need you to check out that performance next, as it probably is her best live performance to date 🙂 She was exactly 1 month shy of 18 years old, her birthday is on January 10th. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Angelina's Mother Sarah Astar was not happy with the lyrics of the song as being too adult. She insisted Angelina change them if she wanted to do the song. Angelina finished writing them in the car on the way to the recording. My understanding is that they fit so well that KORK had no need to change the arrangement and that to me is astonishing! Angelina's roots. are in Jazz. She been listening and studying these icons from the past century since she was 2-3 yrs old on you-Tube. Also Angelina arranges, at least in part, if not in total, total control of all her performances. She has since she was 7-8 yrs old. She knows what she wants and gets exactly what she wants out of the artists and musicians she works with, many of them who are some of the most accomplished in the industry. ♥👣 Some have referred to this as a rehearsal and I will be happy to be corrected by someone who Knows but I found out this was no rehearsal but a scheduled performance with recording this performance being the purpose. KORK is the Norwegian National Orchestra known as the Norwegian Radio Orchestra & I don't believe I have heard this performed with this arrangement with these particular members in a live event. She did do a live performance of "Summertime" with the full Orchestra. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have recently learned that KORK actually contacted Angelina for the purpose of this recording plus several others. I'm guessing National Orchestra requested her because of her talent and because she was declared by Norway as a National Treasure shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent. I believe this booking was arranged for the purpose of this recording. It's on her Album as well as others for a project KORK was doing. Thus the scheduled time slot. I'm guessing the arrangement was made ahead of time and each party was working with this. Angelina was informed the night before I believe and had the night and next day before the performance to make the changes. I believe she worked on it that evening but didn't quite finish it. She visited an amusement park on the day of and before the performance. I've watched video of her in an interview at the park with a friend. It looks like they had the whole park to themselves. She finished the lyrics on the ride to the recording session. The remarkable thing is that the lyrics fit so well they had no need to change the arrangement. I believe this performance was the second take. Again I will be happy to be corrected on this if I am wrong but regardless this performance was typical Angelina Magic. Smooth Velvet Perfection! ♥👣If there is a performance and a recording of it I'd love to see & or hear it. I know she did it live a time or two but not with these members and this arrangement. ♥👣

No audience because it’s a studio recording session. Reading the lyrics because she wrote them from scratch the day before and on the way to the studio.

Oh ok it's a recording got you thanks for correcting me

It appears to me that Angelina is always more comfortable if she has the lyrics available. For me it is not an issue, actually the reverse as I am quite impressed that she can even refer to lyrics and still give such strong emotional renditions. Also I think she has a tendency when recording at home to pick a song, get a feel for it and then just dive in. For that sort of jam lyrics on the Ipad or in written notes is essential. Others have explained the need for notes in this instance due to the quick change she had to make to the adult lyrics. Nice reaction sorry I can only subscribe once:)

I can agree with that take it is hard to still give the right feeling while reading

If you liked this, you'd probably love her cover of Amy Winehouse's song Rehab, once again with re-written lyrics. There's a live (audio) version of it with some still photos at this link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3vReIGqjtJlasU
