When asked in an interview why she was crying backstage, Angelina's mother Sara replied it was because at that moment she realized she would have to share her daughter with the world. Thank you, Sara.

For everyone who thinks "why does a 7 year old girl sing a song like that??? " Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on KZbin before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina's mother Sara said in an interview when Angelina was about 11/12 years old, *only Angelina chooses the songs and she only sings them the way she imagines* . 🤗🤗🤗

Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on KZbin before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " ♥👣👸🏻🎷 In a interview after this performance Angelina's mom was asked why she was crying during her performance?? Were they happy tears?? Mom said; " They were happy tears but they were also sad tears because I know I just lost my daughter to the world. ♥👣👸🏻🎷 Gloomy Sunday. You'll notice the last judge (the one with his mouth open) asked her if she knew what the song was about. I believe he was asking to see if she was aware of the history of the song. That's because 'Gloomy Sunday' is known to history as 'The Hungarian Suicide Song' and was banned in parts of Europe during WWI because many believed the song had led to a rash of suicides in the population. Angelina, unaware of this at the time, I'm sure, simply replied Yes, it's about a sad Sunday and I think the judge was pleased to realize she had a child's view Though she has said she understood the lyrics of the song and it's meaning because she knew English well. Thus the comment in essence Yes I could feel that sad sunday. Amazing Angelina would start her career with such a controversial song.♥👣👸🏻 What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru KZbin of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻

[@johnwriter267]

I have to agree with other's comments. If there's any song sung by Angelina where it's important to go back and listen to the original, this is it. It's hard to explain other than to say it's unbelievable. I loved her performance. After listening to it perhaps 6 or 7 times, I listened to Billie Holiday. Only then did I truly understand the reactions of the judges and their tears. I had tears of my own... The soul... the emotion... It's incredible. It's too easy to speak of a God given gift or talent. Angelina is truly a gift to us all. What's so special, is that she understands and respects her takent; even at a young age. In her song about her family "Shield", she sings "I'm sorry for what I am"... This from a 12 year old appreciating her family's sacrifice and support. No family can be prepared for Angelina. And, Angelina understands.

[@elisabetholsen5478]

What people don`t know about Angelina however, is that she`s deaf in her right ear. This didn`t stop her from pursuing her passion for music, and she has even said that her deafness gives her an advantage when it comes to pitch. Despite her young age, Angelina has already accomplished a lot in her career. She has even performed at Carnegie Hall.

[@GrandmaEllen]

Great idea to start with her first audition. You picked the best video, IMO. That night the video went around the world for 3 million views. I think it is a great idea to finish out Norway's Got Talent, then maybe catch her 9 yo music video performing live in studio her arrangement of "Screaming" Jay Hawkins 1956 original, "I Put A Spell On You." After that, go for that AGT Champions audition at age 13---her own arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Then do something from last year, 2022--several music videos to choose from, etc. Then you can also go back to earlier times where there are some very impressive performances. She explored her voice, many genres, and always with evidence of her early roots in jazz. Your heart and soul need to hear more of Angelina Jordan's voice. Thank you for a great reaction. Grandma Ellen, out.

[@RobertDeMartin]

"Welcome to the Wonderful World of Angelina Jordan!" Yes, this was the video which launched her career and will never be forgotten. As you continue on her journey with all of us from around the world you will discover she is much more than a fantastic singer. You will receive lots of information (playlists and bio's) about her from her fan base (her 'angels') and you will see what is going on and why so many people genuinely love her.

I'm betting that none of those judges expected to hear a child singing Billie Holiday!

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Beautiful first reaction, thank you. This was the first time I heard this little fairy sing, 10 years ago and I've been hooked ever since. In all these years I have listened to she thousands of times in hundreds of splendid interpretations and yet every time I see this first performance of hers at the age of 7, it makes me move again, like the first time, with that wonderful concentration of humility, simplicity, candor, sympathy and talent. Angelina's musical vision transcends the ordinary and she always manages to give an innovative reading that makes us appreciate and love the songs better that sing, at any age she does. This gorgeous girl has a musical sensibility and expressive ability that is beyond my comprehension.💛🧡❤

[@9Ballr]

This was a very nice first reaction to Angelina. You are right that Angelina sings straight from her heart. When I first heard this performance I was not familiar with the song, and only after I listened to Billie Holiday's original version could I fully appreciate just how remarkable this performance by Angelina was. As you react to her more you will start to understand how incredibly versatile she is, and how different she can sound across different genres. Today she is 17 and signed with Republic Records, with a new album due out soon!

[@dharmabum9119]

I didn't know the original either, when I first heard this performance. I knew of Billie Holiday, but could not have named any songs that she sang. This remarkable child has introduced me to the world of jazz from the 30s, 40's, and 50s. More than that, she has breathed new life into those songs and is bringing that genre to an all new audience. BTW- I enjoyed your presentation on Alan & Pontus' podcast. You really ran the table...

[@9Ballr]

Thanks Dharmabum, I'm glad I didn't 'run out' before the podcast was over!

[@pjg58x]

The first vocal performance that I had heard was by Sarah Brightman on her album in 2000. I liked the song and looked into it and found that Billie Holiday had recorded it which became the most well known version. It’s originallt a Hungarian song from the 30s. An instrumental waltz version is played in a dancing scene in Schindler’s List. The most known lyrics to the song (translated to Sad Sunday) are about someone contemplating dioxide after their lover had died. Interesting choice of song for a little girl.

[@peterhormell1511]

@@pjg58x For those who may be confused… pjg58x’s spellcheck automatically changed “suicide” to dioxide. 😬 Definitely an odd choice. Angelina’s mom Sarah said “it’s an awfully sad song” and Angelina replied that she really liked how it sounded.

[@grahamkelsey1675]

Angelina's mum didn't want her to sing this song because of what it is and is about...it's nicknamed 'the Hungarian suicide song'...so there's a lot more going on here than just a tiny girl singing a song. She had to arrange it to exclude verses that spoke directly about suicide and change some of the words in the ones she sang to steer her version away from death, and be more about sadness or depression..."black hole of sorrow" instead of "black coach of sorrow"..."little white flowers were never a waste on you", rather than "little white flowers could never awaken you", and maybe a couple of others....cos her mum wanted her to sing something more like a children's song...so when she seemed so confident when asked if she knew what the song was about - she was right

[@ridgemanron]

All the talk about Billie Holiday being reincarnated into her at 7 was because of this audition at NGT. Listen to both and you will think it's Billie singing both renditions. She shows this 'vocal chameleon' ability soon after NGT when she sings 'Dinah Washington's classic, 'What A Difference A Day Makes' and you soon begin to realize she can emulate the vocals of numerous A-list singers, even one as special in the non- jazz, 'pop' genre like Adele. She is the most versatile singer of different genre excellence that this planet has ever produced.

[@ronraskind]

Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer. Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological KZbin performances with five originals. Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram. Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

You couldn't have picked a better performance to start with, if you ask me! It was my first video of her too! And I grew up with the music of Billie Holiday. It really felt as if Billie was in the same studio to "guide" Angelina! Haunting thought! And performance! So glad that you recognize that singing is all about conveying the emotion, whether it'll be soft or loud. Indeed there are too many singers focusing on belting impressive high notes. After a while that feels more like a circus act. If you continue to follow Angelina you will soon find out she has the most versatile voice thinkable (insane skill set) and is all about sharing love and beauty. All in a very musical way!

[@pjg58x]

Great first reaction. You are right about the difference between this performance and most other talent show performances. Most others try to be flashy and show how loud and high they can sing to try to impress especially since they have a limited time. Although Angelina can belt if the song calls for it (maybe not at this age) her style is more about emotion, subtlety, nuances and storytelling. She already has that at this young age. She can touch you deep inside with her voice and can make you cry as shown by the judges reactions throughout the run of the show. I’m sure you will be getting many comments from others giving you information about her and provide many suggestions for future reactions. Some will provide links. The usual go tos for new reactors to Angelina are I Put a Spell on You at age 9 (black and white version) and Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 from AGT the Champions. Have fun with your Angelina journey, many great performances to go.

This song has been referred to as “the Hungarian suicide song” because of the intense tragedies associated with it. To hear a seven year old girl sing it with such tenderness and sincerity is heart-wrenching. That’s why the male judge asked her if she knew what the song was about. Her reply was just perfect. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a deeper grasp of its meaning than what she revealed.

[@freshcat]

I love this song, and have been fascinated with its history for the past 40 years. As soon as I saw and heard a seven year old, start to sing it so beatifully, it freaked the hell out of me and i had to turn it off. I will try and watch again in a day or two.

AJ has a complete mental image of Billie's performance and has learned to express that in all it's nuances, but not only that, to add her own sensibilities to it as well. She's a child prodigy without peer. She is also an empath and deeply feels the emotions of the words and original singer. Listen to Billie sing this along with AJ and AJ's mastery becomes even more obvious.

And better yet, when a song requires low notes she will blow you away with her rich, robust sounds that you've never heard before from a child. She doesn't do it to impress, as many child singers do, she does it only when the song requires it. Liked & subed for more Angelina reactions.

if you want high notes check out some of her later stuff

[@jollyo9276]

I guess, since Angelina around age 4 - 5, connected to the music of Billie Holiday and other classic jazz stars, from grandma Mery`s records, and what she was abel to look up by herself on the families I-pad, - she kind of had her first "schooling" of music from these great legends. There is no doubt Angelina took away a lot from those lessons alongside Billie Holiday. And the way she put to use those skills she picked up from her, is simply stunning. Makes my jaw drop still, almost a decade after I first heard her singing this. Angelina has said a few times that "Without BIllie Holiday, there would be no Angelina as we know her today. I for one, can totaly belive that. Despite her spesial connection to jazz, she always had love for music in general. Her path in music has always been to try out any kind of genre. She has taken great inspiration from Adele`s music even from her very early years. And mother Sara made a short video sequens when 18 month old Angelina sang allong to Whitney Houston song "I will always love you.

Welcome to the world's best female singer and the future G.O.A.T. Angelina just turned 17 and her debut album with Republic Records will release later this year. I've subbed for more. Love from Norway❤❤❤

[@peterhormell1511]

Great reaction Tyler. Those high, belting notes that you mentioned?… Angelina can do them too. But she doesn’t do it for effect. It’s only if the song calls for it. You are going to have a wonderful time discovering Angelina. And we’re going to have fun following your reactions. I suggest your next reaction should be of Angelina singing the jazz classic “I Put a Spell on You” (the black and white version). This cover of a Screamin’ Jay Hawkin’s song will blow your doors off. Angelina was only NINE (she currently is seventeen) and it is possibly the best cover ever performed… by anyone, at any age! 😲 ❤️👣

[@louisegogel7973]

Awesome i tor diction reaction to Angelina! Thank you!!

[@robertwhite6248]

No what is insane is what your going to hear when you her her sing Her own rewritten BLACK AND WHITE version of "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" where she wrote arranged and also hand wrote her wishes for the band to follow all at 9 years old. Jaw dropping

[@thomasroutte8942]

Listen to her original song she wrote after her grandfather passed away. Million Miles!!

[@kenscott8966]

Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. You didn't perhaps focus on the fact that she speaks in Noregian but sing in English (her 3rd language btw).

[@ShanLiB]

I have been hoping you would find Angelina. I've really enjoyed your reactions and felt you would truly appreciate her when you finally got around to reacting to her. This is going to be a wonderful journey for you and you deserve all the best. You already embody so many of the characteristics of an Angel you will be a great fit here.

[@JMWexperience]

Thanks for a really great reaction! I appreciate it.

[@johannesbjarmarsson9343]

For Angelina the song was about "Sad Sunday" as she left out the middle section of the song she sang the first part then jumped over to the last part ..Yes she knew exactly what she was doing She turned a SS song into heartfelt lovesong

[@SuperLiorr]

Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason...👑 🗣🎙 As for the song, it was written and talks about the period after the World War when many people and soldiers committed suicide because of this, the last judge asked her if she knew about what is she singing.

[@CarlD70]

What a great reaction Tylr...appreciate it very much. Much love from Angelina's Angels to you. Cheers, and stay well.

[@dojoswitzer]

Love your reaction!! Welcome to Angelina’s 🌎 Now that this Fan Pick is done, you can react to her the other 6 days of the week. Thanks for the playlist. I am looking forward to it filling up. You will enjoy every moment of it. I have been addicted for a year now. I would love to learn a little about your musical and reaction background on your next Angelina reaction.

[@wisehiker]

Also,,,,,This song was during the WWII and Billy Holiday sang it then and it was banded in the UK because it would cause depression and suicides......(Note....If someone comments here and corrections. So be it.)

[@williamarmstrong9008]

She got 10 million views on gloomy Sunday on KZbin

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Nice reaction: the man with curly hair who talked about her love of jazz isn't her father by the way, he's a family friend... there is another video from NGT that does briefly show her father and also her little sister Juliette who is still a toddler at this time. Please do continue: my suggestion would be to go through the next three NGT performances first, finishing with the final

[@pa1189j]

Actually her father does appear on this one too. At 2:22 into the reaction.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

@@pa1189j oh yes... !

[@brendaveselich3086]

Mom knew at that moment that she was sharing her daughter with the world.

[@Mister.315]

Most are not familiar with Billie Holiday and this song. Hearing that, the listener really can see how incredible this is. You have to see the other three songs from this competition to experience the progression and provides a base to better understand her versatility and level.

[@rickpallas2001]

Angelina's mother (blonde hair with scarf wiping away tears backstage) said in an interview that those were happy tears, but also sad tears, as at that moment she realized she has lost her little girl to the world.

[@rickyrheuark7989]

Sounds like the old 78 records I used to play. 😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯

[@williamarmstrong9008]

That’s Billy Balota, Billy Harley’s voice. She studied Billie Holiday. She studied Louis Armstrong. She said all the Jazz Classics since she was three years old and she incorporated her voice and she’s a Prodigy. She does speak three languages. English is our first.

[@brendaveselich3086]

Angelina Jordan, What A Difference A Day Makes. Outside performance in front of a huge crowd. She was only 8.

[@hattie9794]

You are gonna love this young lady! Thank you

[@gregorygardner9373]

New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible audition performance singing a classic Billie Holiday song. When she was asked a few questions by the judge before she began - she seemed a little nervous. But once she started singing, she sounded like a seasoned professional. And even though her native language is Norwegian, she sang in perfect English - at age 7. Now 17 - Angelina has well over 180 cover songs & some originals readily available on KZbin. But - in order to get a better understanding of her musical roots, I highly recommend continuing with het last 3 NGT performances (I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime). And - to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to watch her back & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

The female judge said "in front of us, we have a star. The best and the funny thing is that her second last name is Astar. 👍

[@nomchompsky2883]

I always love how everyone, like me, has no idea what she is saying at least half the time but we all get it.

[@ZanOrion]

Billie Holiday! A classic!

[@kjellneset919]

You really nailed it hearing her first time. She will continue to impress you regardless witch song she does! She got lows (How great thou art at age 10) and highs (I got nothing by Whitney Houston studio recording at 16). I was watching her live at concert in Norway at Kongsberg 7.July! She was amazing and it is my best concert ever! You are really in for a treat here. Great reaction and i subscribed you. I watched this video live at NGT 2014 and i voted for her win and she got 46% of all votes given at the final, so she won clearly. Hope to see more of your reactions to her. There are so many things to her to her as an artist.

[@rogergraetzer5992]

Great idea you start with Angelina’s Auditions! She is a talent marvel and prodigy child,Girl, now 17 years young Lady Queen of and barefoot 🦶 Princess 👸 Go in the rabbit hole from Angelina,she is phänomenal amazing brilliant outstanding singer!

She is a Mega-Superstar Now Give her a little time 5Years and she it the best !!!I lover❤so much! She is an Angel 😇 of 🌍 Earth We Angels 😇 (Fans) all love Angelina so much❤.Great reaction 👌👍Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭❤️and peace ✌️🙏Roger over and out.😊

[@peterstadelmeier]

Hi, nice that you took a little peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 17 years old

[@FlameCold258]

By the way, her record is coming out next month from Republic Records. She is 17 years old today!

[@Buttercup-vw2zo]

I am a HUGE Billie Holiday fan. She was a blues and jazz singer of the 1930s and 1940s . She too had a soft voice. Sometimes the belting it out is just SCREAMING. Idont automically equate loud voices with better singing. Billie Holiday could outsing most of these so called singers of today under the table . She would be very proud if she could hear Angelina sing her song

[@angelightification]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@mrstlu4838]

Love your reaction, and I’ve subscribed so I can follow your journey with Angelina. You’ve had a ton of information from her fans already, my suggestion would be to do her NGT performances first, followed by “What a Difference a Day Makes” (Dinah Washington), before reacting to “I Put a Spell On You”. Both A MUST in my opinion. Oh, I like your calling her singing “soulful and peaceful”, she really has carried on being the bearer of peace to many a fan. Another little fact, Norwegian audiences are known for being respectful of performances, they don’t want to miss a note 🥰

[@rachelginter3616]

Gloomy Sunday was known as a song that most people of the time that it was first performed was considered a suicide song..people would play this as they took their life..very very sad song 😢

[@ckh57]

Great reaction TYLR , yes do all her Norway's got talent performances first she is a mind blower, then you are in her rabbit hole for many years to come. Absolutely our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 17 (as of 1/10/2023 ) years old and stands around 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one : ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmug5trj9mojc0 ) plus a new release in month April 2021 of '7 th Heaven" link: (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH6bda2Dh8ecf8U ) And her latest awesome cover of "My Funny Valentine" at her age of just 16. : ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIjMfYKkfa-Mrsk ) She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. : To bring you up to date on her background: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvNeGlueculY5o (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvNeGlueculY5o at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLXhpWMgMdjrNU 2. Oslo,, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIHWh6hqnrOgjpI ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeTo2ptgLNqiKM 4. Above the water,, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXSWd2OYgLCeabc 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCWnpuuhbJgq6M ( plus a few more recent originals from her not listed here) Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert. When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road". She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan girl she met girl whom was around her own age of around 6 years old who had no shoes and had scars on her feet; and also to bring awareness to children around the world who are in a similar situations . The little girl was weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made becuase of the encounter with this little orphan girl from then on . Angelina has honored that pledge to bring awareness for orphan and shoeless children around the world by performing always barefoot since that time , now ten years ago ,as she is currently 17 years old as of January 2023 Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a octave range that matches Whitney Huston but she excels in her lower register and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 17 years as of Jan. 10 ,2023. Angelina any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..

[@ryanjacob3338]

Yeah I think I could maybe do ok with a good 7 year old singer, as cool as that would be. But a good 7 year old Jazz singer I'll never reconcile. Not even knowing she grew up on it. It's just so far removed from possible. It's a strange art to grasp, strange techniques, strange feel. It feels like something you don't mess with until you've got the rest down pat and want to challenge yourself. But it's cool. Definitely gave her a leg up finding that is her style, and somehow understanding it well enough to start with it. She'll be a phenomenal Jammer her whole life, and you'll see she already was by like 11. Live, adjustments, timing, feel. Incredible.

[@leechap3]

Well said. Child prodigies are not uncommon, in art, mathematics, and music in areas like piano, opera, but I've never seen a child of this age sing jazz like she does.
