Musicians FIRST REACTION to 7yo Angelina Jordan GLOOMY SUNDAY.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Incredible singer then & won! Yet now she is continuously singing & has such a unique voice! 💝

[@johngulley5396]

Amazing voice. OMG! When she's 20, her voice will be unbelievable! Right on! Love it!👍😁😎

[@looneygardener]

At 17 she is incredible!

[@garysen]

At 10 yo she lost the last indication of child voice. She is phenomenal 🤩👣🧡🧡🙌❣️

[@RobertDeMartin]

Okay, here's my list: 1. What A Difference A Day Makes 8 years old at an outdoor Concert 2. My Funny Valentine 10 years old at home sitting in a chair 3. Crazy many versions. Tiktok at 16 years old is great. 4. Bohemian Rhapsody 13 years old on AGT/The Champions 5. Summertime 8 years old (finals of Norway's Got Talent) I left out about 100+ other songs which qualify to be in the top 5 but I thought you might enjoy these very much.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

It is so hard to pick but, if forced to at gun point, I think What a Difference a Day Makes would be my absolute #1 :)

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Welcome back and beautiful reaction, thank you Michael. 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. 💛🧡❤

[@williamdunphe-bh2pu]

She is the g.o.a.t. now 17 and about to blow the minds of millions of people wild bill from Worcester mass 😎🤩👍

[@albertstern1945]

I have to repeat what Midkenny said, as he said it perfectly.. "You need to listen to the original by the one and only Billie Holiday to appreciate how truly amazing this performance really is, Angelina puts her own stamp on a Classic at 7!!!!! Nice reaction and great choice."

[@GoWestYoungMan]

Gloomy Sunday was composed by Hungarian pianist Rezső Seress and published in 1933. It was later popularized by Billie Holiday in 1941, so this is a very old song.

[@carolinelambert7224]

Go figure. Natural talent. Gifted old soul.

[@GrandmaEllen]

Top 5? There aren't enough lines on the paper. LOL! This is one of them. All of the NGT performances count as one, right? Top 5? Yeah right. Let's talk categories..... Grandma Ellen, waiting to see what you'll do next. Grandma Ellen, waving.

[@StephanieHealy-wh9cn]

Billie Holliday is the one who originally sung it, way back in the 50's or 60's. BTW she is 17 now and released Love Don't Let Me Go in May. She as been teasing us regarding another song that will be released very soon. And yes, that is her mom. In March she sang at the FIFA Awards in front of millions since it was televised. It is very hard to narrow down her songs for favorites because this girl can sing anything. Some that I like to go back to, she sang 2 songs at an Allen Waker concert - Sing me to Sleep and Faded (his songs) when she was 10. I also like This is a Mans World that she sang when she was 12. Something's Got a Hold of Me (not sure 11 or 12), Million Miles (an original) and Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley) when she was either 15 or 16 (I'm not sure).

[@tomevans7567]

Just as an FYI Gloomy Sunday was originally recorded in 1936 and first sung and made famous by Billie Holiday in 1941. 😊

[@fredneecher1746]

You were spot on with your comment about her sounding like a singer from the 50s. Gloomy Sunday was made famous by the great blues singer, Billie Holiday. You can compare her version with Angelina's - she is faithful to the original but it is no copy. There's real soul in there! No one knows where it comes from, but there it is. You know, you should do more Angelina reactions, but a top 5? That's a tall order! Off the top of my head: Summertime, Fly Me to the Moon, Ever Time We Say Goodbye, Feeling Good, It's A Man's World, I'd Rather Go Blind, Cry Me a River, Crazy, Loving You - well you get the idea.

[@markkleckner3060]

Great reaction and your requesting an impossible task! My top 5 consist of 50 as does many other Angels out there. I like anything she does, very unique, the only Artist that can sing song after song and sound like someone else, but still hear her, it's crazy. Hence The Singing Angel of a 1,000 voices, God Bless!

[@kevingrady8736]

You should listen to Billie Holiday singing this song. Then you will fully understand just how awesome this was.

[@rvega60s]

True at one point their face expressions where the same

[@martyflannigan5052]

Angelina Jordan I put a Spell On You, she sings this at 9/10 years of age it will blow you mind, by the way she is 17 years old now

[@ridgemanron]

If you listen to Billie Holiday's original after hearing this, it will become clear as to why she was immediately called a 'vocal chameleon'. Both renditions sound as if they were coming from Billie when I believe she was 29. Soon after the NGT competition, she sang 'What A Difference A Day Makes' by Dinah Washington and, once again, you believe that vocally both Angelina's and Dinah's renditions are so alike, it is mind boggling.

[@ridgemanron]

@@wippletits 'Newbies', especially, do react with thanks for enlightening them about artists like Dinah and Billie sounding so much like our 'Persian Princess'. c

[@mldkenny]

You need to listen to the original by the one and only Billie Holiday to appreciate how truly amazing this performance really is, Angelina puts her own stamp on a Classic at 7!!!!! Nice reaction and great choice.

[@michaelwduffy]

I'll check it out!

[@johnfoster5295]

There is one with subtitles. You should have done that one. Gloomy Sunday was by Billie Holiday. She did say that but I guess you missed it.

MY FAVORITES.: SONG FOR A I´M STILL HOLDING FOR YOU I PUT SPELL ON YOU SHILD LOVE DON´T LET ME GO

[@anitaherbert1037]

The sliding vocals and tone are so typical of Billie Holiday and the era.

[@zoeminelson8565]

hey Michael, remember me, I was the one who pointed you to AJ. Hard to say what to listen to. I would suggest " still holding out for you" and also the two songs she did whit Alan Walker ' sing me to sleep " and "fading" cause those shed another light on her. Her rendition of " Stay" is also considered a masterpiece as is " its a mans world" life performance.

[@BobSmith-lb9nc]

Lady Day was singing this song before your parents were born, Mike.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Michael, there is a version with english subs.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo You will get the jokes and wonder of the judges, after Angelina leaves the stage. Elmar

When she was five years old she asked her mother if she could go on the show. Much too young, although she had been in a studio, already. 🌺😇 "Rolling in The Deep” at 5 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g160pKOLi82li68

[@juliewaterfield1804]

hi michael, hope you're good. billy holiday was the person who made gloomy sunday a hit, if you can call it that. apparently it caused a spate of suicides of people who had been listening to it. they weren't allowed to play it for years after. i have to say i don't really think that it's a song that a child should be singing and, much as i hate to disagree with you, the kid ain't that good. you are a big softee, lol.

Gloomy Sunday…

[@juliewaterfield1804]

@@rburkett1939 YIPES, SORRY....LOL

[@paulwagner9303]

These are urban legends and NOT TRUE. The rumors spread by the press in the 30's have no basis. There is no evidence that the song was CAUSING even a single suicide, nor that the song was at least LINKED to a suicide. The song was actually banned from broadcast by the BBC in 1941, but not because it was responsible for any deaths, but along with a number of other songs which were melancholic/sad and thus detrimental to war morale (the war was not going well at the time for the UK). However, there is no evidence of other radio bans, either in the US or elsewhere in Europe. By the way, did you listen to Angelina closely here? She sings the first and third verses. The third verse says: Dreaming, I was only dreaming I wake and I find you asleep In the deep of my heart here Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you My heart is tellin’ you How much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday Doesn’t sound like "suicide because of the death of the beloved girl" to me.

[@fredbloggs6080]

@@paulwagner9303 The preceding lyrics, however, speak of dying on Sunday because of lost love. That last verse--it was all a dream--seems like it was added to soften the original meaning. But the second Hungarian lyrics, and alternative early American lyrics as performed by Paul Robeson and others, plus translations in other languages, do retain the original the suicide meaning. There were quite a few pop suicide songs in the 1960s (but even going back to 1650 with Barbara Allen), such as Moody River, A Thousand Feet Below, Patches, The Pickup, A Tear for Jessie, Ode to Billie Joe, and Sweet Rosie Jones.

[@МарияСмурова-ъ3ф]

Scaring!!! Like horror movie when character speaks improper voice! I dont't know how to treat this... Sounds beautiful and professional, but this cannot be anything but a trick. I mean kids can sing Ave Maria with angelic voices because this is absolutely different personal experience. As for shaking tearing up woman's voice... We know what kind of experience works.

[@victorvinas6497]

No trick. Only a child prodigy. Only Angelina.

[@rexoid0800]

The song was dubbed the Hungarian suicide song by Rezső Seress. This sounds like its the Billie Holiday version.

[@МарияСмурова-ъ3ф]

@@victorvinas6497 the "trick" is to coach (or to let her train) a toddler to imitate adult experience-based feelings and to judge this as art. Why not to encourage her moan like in orgasm then? This could make a furor! Oh, she's only 7 - and look how passionate she is! We, the listeners, are responsible for what entertains us, I guess. Something like that...
