When Angelina Jordan was 7, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent with the Billie Holiday classic "Gloomy Sunday". Brace yourself.

[@slcncr]

I have watched that video many times, and also many reaction videos. The moment she starts to sing, i get goosebumps. *Every single time* HOW can a 9 years old girl sing like that ??

[@stevebeck7704]

This was Angelina Jordan also known as The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and The Angel with 1,000 voices singing in full beast mode. Also , amazingly enough this was HER ARRANGEMENT of the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins !! The notes you saw the music director looking over were Her Wishes on how she wanted the band to play Her Arrangement !! This young lady is a one of a kind talent and true musical prodigy . Remember that she not only sang this song beautifully she arranged it herself at just 9 years of age !!

[@colinhuggins268]

Angelina is a child prodigy. Youngest published author in Norway at age 9. Angelina has helped raise millions for charities. Has over 150 covers and 5 originals. Won Norway's Got Talent at age 7/8. Performs barefoot to remind her of all the less fortunate children in the world.

[@truthwarrior7934]

Angelina speaks 4 languages, plays 4 instruments & writes composes her own music. She recomposed this song as well.

[@jamesdrynan]

Good arrangement with a nice sax solo. Angelina takes your breath away. Such a talent at nine years old. Her control is amazing.

[@firemedic5100]

I for one, do not call her a singer. To me, that is like calling Rembrandt a mere painter. Angelina is an artist, that compiles her beautiful masterpieces with her voice, her understanding of music composition, and God given talent. Her AGT performance of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13, was my introduction. I have since watched every performance I can find from kindergarten to present day, and if she ever performs a live concert near where I am, I will be there. I liked your reaction as well. Keep on watching this angel.

[@erictansweebeng5498]

Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!

[@FlameCold258]

ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republlic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is work for release Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on KZbin and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on KZbin performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.

Can you imagine, this was done at 9, she's now 16 and your little Angelina is OVER 6 feet tall with more colors in her voacal toolchest.

[@davidtouma4878]

This was Angelina's own arrangement paying tribute to the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Many people are not aware that Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was an opera singer, a pianist, and a boxing champ. He joined the army at age 13 using forged ID. He was a formidable opponent in the army and later in the airforce boxing circuits. He won several boxing golden glove awards mostly in his hometown of Cleveland. In 1949 he won Alaska’s middleweight title. 9 years old Angelina Jordan just delivered him a TKO. LOL. Do you agree? Thank you for your excellent reaction video of Angelina Jordan and More Angelina please.

[@TheBlaster54]

You may have noticed that nine year old Angelina is the boss in this session. She is hyper aware of every aspect of how this this session should be performed. She not only has complete mastery of the arrangement and her vocal performance, but she knows what each individual musician should be doing and when to do it. It was at this tender age of nine that Angelina became the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She speaks four languages and plays several different instruments. There is no other vocalist her age that has her versatility, lower range, instincts and vocal acuity. I know of no other young vocalist that sings jazz, let alone, sound like a forty-five year old seasoned veteran. Angelina Jordan is revitalizing the jazz genre. She is the contemporary queen of jazz. She created and travels in her own lane. She’s already a living legend and she has yet to start her professional career.

[@ronmorris2959]

Angelina has done over 160 Covers and 8 or so originals. Since age 7 she has been doing her own arranging in every facet of her covers. At the start of “I Put A Spell On You” the caption reads “I Put A Spell On You” by Angelina Jordon And at the end of the session she was given the master copy. Most of the musicians are part of Norway’s Air Force Band and Orchestra. Courtesy of the Crown Prince of Norway who has declared her a National Treasure of Norway.

[@carlnietoweise4653]

Angie is known in the studio as " The Boss", what she was writing where notes to the musical director on changes she made to the arrangement...at 9 years old!

[@fredt7518]

It was only the words and groul she wanted to sing ... she never wrote any musical arrangement ... on all her new original songs she only wrote the lyrics, not any music ...

[@francescogalesso1880]

@@fredt7518 You obviously don't know Angelina. There are rehearsal videos where she is seen instructing the musicians on how to modify certain parts. Or listen to the interviews with the two guitarists who accompanied her, one in Norway and one in America, and how they prepared the songs she sang at home, and who instructed who on how to make them.

[@fredt7518]

@@francescogalesso1880 I've done all of that and I'm a huge fan of Angelina but I'm convinced she didnt make any music arrangement on I put a spell on you nor give any "instructions" to any pianist ... (I saw the video where she plays a fex chords to the pianist to show him how she learned the song but listen to the chards she played (3 notes, 1,3,5) and the notes played by the pianist (6,7,9, sometimes 11). She is a great artist. And listen again the guitarists itw, there is no mention of Angelina shoosing chords or arrangement, she chose the songs, the way to sing it but not the chords ar arrangement ... sorry

[@tomwhite4736]

there is no doubt imo that ANGELINA has a say/ input into the arrangements of her songs. sorry.

[@nfpnone8248]

@@fredt7518 She was actually observed by the judges of Norway’s Got Talent working with the musicians to get them to accompany her the way she wanted, which surprised them because she was only 8, and there are countless rehearsals where she worked with the director and the director made the necessary changes to the accompaniment to suit her as she wanted to perform the song. No, she doesn’t tell them the cords, but she doesn’t have to, she mostly sets the tempo and how she wants them to accompany her, and this is apparent in videos of interviews of the two guitarists that accompanied her on a regular basis, they said that she would tell them what she wanted and as professional musicians, they would do what was necessary to suit her request. She is the artist, not the musicians!

[@masonsteele261]

Angelina has been doing her own arrangements, since she was 7 years old. The page the gentleman is holding at the beginning, is actually her handwritten notes laying out what she expects from everyone. In studio, they playfully call her the "Little Boss". 😆💕 Angelina has sung barefoot, except for rehearsals, since age 6 in remembrance of an orphan girl near her age that she met on the street in the middle east. The girl was using bathroom scales and weighing people for money. It was cold, she was barefoot, and her feet were scarred. They chatted about their dreams, and she asked Angelina what her dream was. Of course, Angelina said she wanted to be a singer, and sing for the whole world, and asked the girl about her dream. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor, but that was not possible because she had siblings to care for, and she wished Angelina luck in becoming a singing star, and she told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina, on the spot, gave her the sea green boots, her favorites, that she was wearing and told her to never give up on her dreams, called her a “princess” and that she would always remember her. Angelina wrote in her diary that day, “…to be able to do something for another human, it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really.” Angelina, at 9, became Norway's youngest author when she wrote a book about it, "Mellom to hjerter" ("Between Two Hearts"). Angelina promised herself never to wear shoes when performing again until there were no more children around the world without shoes, clothing, or family. In her book Angelina says, “In respect for you and all children like you, and that you prayed to God, today I walk barefoot on cold floors in front of so many people and sing. This book is for you little princess. You’re like sunshine! I remember and remember you every day.” Angelina has raised many millions of Euros and Dollars around the world performing at charity concerts since age 8. So, to this day, almost 9 years later, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. NGT Judge Mia Gundersen called Angelia’s voice, “a gift from the universe.” To me, the true gift to us all is Angelina herself. Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far: Adele, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. 😊✌

Imagine being a studio band and the most views/likes you ever get is a 9-year-old girl mimicking Screaming Jay Hawkins. lol

[@olafwiese6728]

Angelina surprised you with her voice. She will surprise you just as much with every other song because it always sounds different. But her style is typical Angelina. But you won't notice that until you've heard several of her songs. There is a long but beautiful road ahead of you. Enjoy it. Angelina was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway (16 years old today). She started singing at the age of one year and a half and has been arranging her cover songs since she was 6 or 7 years old. She started with jazz!! She won “Norway Got Talent” at the age of 8!! There are more than 150 cover songs of all genres and singers. Now she also has her own songs. There are cover from Queen, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Lana Del Rey, ELVIS, Michael Jackson, Billie Holyday, Elton John, Etta James, Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra,.... She is called "The Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". She is able to adapt her voice to her arrangements of the songs. - Why Angelina always sings barefoot: At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need. - Bohemian Rhapsody 13 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3eTe4lobduagtk - Queen cover - I’d rather go blind 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnybnoCOhsdmlas - Angelina on a sofa testing a new microphone, Etta James cover See her lower and higher range: - How great thou art 13 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2kdqxnga57qMU - well known by Elvis - I have nothing 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4XGp6mFa6dmf9E - Whitney Houston cover Her original songs: - What is Life 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeTo2ptgLNqiKM - Shield 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mydJV3odeSapo - Oslo 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGOrnH6elKijbqs - Million Miles 14 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzbp6qrj5yie68 - She wrote it for her grandfather, who died in 2019. - 7th Heaven 15 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH6bda2Dh8ecf8U Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany

[@103mrg]

olaf In her own words, Angelina explains in this interview with American Songwriter, the real reason she performs barefoot: As fans have come to know, Jordan likes to perform barefoot, in honor of a young girl she met when she was 6 who didn’t have any shoes. Ever since the young singer gave that girl her shoes, she’s performed without wearing her own..... “I want to remind myself that there are less fortunate people around the world who need help,” she says. “It is a great reminder for me.” (It was not a promise she made "until all the children had shoes.")

[@alberttenfoot]

Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. This is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and 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. Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are (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) The occasions where Angelina gave silent instructions to the band (f) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (g) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I remark 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. You have seen in the comments that 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.

Lmao Great review do you have just opened up the rabbit hole to Angelina Jordan a.k.a. the barefoot princess, The queen of jazz an angel sent to us from heaven she will absolutely keep blowing your mind. Those were not the lyrics to this song that was the arrangement that she did her self at nine years old how she wanted the song to go. Going to subscribe to you just to watch your journey with The barefoot princess I have been following her since she was about nine years old absolutely the best singer in my 54 years of life I have ever heard.

[@ronraskind]

Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising! Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. 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 winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly 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 over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals. m.kzbin.info/aero/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO Why does Angelina sing barefoot? When she was 6 years old, she was 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 shoes and 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 is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina penetrates 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 would not want to escape. Peace and love.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Sir, this band coined the nickname THE BOSS, as my cocommenters wrote. It was about 30 second to a minute into the song, so its is said, that they fully understood, that they were working with their Norwegian Superstar, National Treasure and all around powerhouse. Angelina is not "bossy", she asked courteously to follow her "wishes". I have seen videos where she worked with this Band at 10 yo and when she had to show a pro keyboarder how she wanted him to play her song. Very patient and when didn´t get it, she asked him, if she might sit at his keyboard and than she played for him slowly, so he got witch keys she used. LOL. at age 12!!! When at age 11 a famous military band cooperated with her, the conductor literally did exactly that. He asked her in whitch key they should play that and that passage! Angelina is today world famous in musician circles for her creepy feeling for music. Ajuror at NGT told her "You a r e music". Stay safe and sound. German greetings.

Nice reaction! You will soon be flooded with comments about Angelina, some of the fans (Angels) have compiled detailed biographies of AJ. They will give you a lot of insight to Angelina, and what makes her so special, why she performs barefoot, etc. She is not only a phenomenally talented singer, she is also an incredible human being as well. Her parents have (wisely) chosen to not promote her until she graduates school in order to give her as normal a childhood as possible. Something almost unheard of in the entertainment industry! She has about 166 songs recorded between KZbin, Instagram, and TicTok. She is extremely humble, yet also fearless. She has done (amazing) covers of most of the Icons of singing history past and present. Looking forward to lots of Angelina reactions from you!

Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣 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. ♥👣 Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program ♥ But she did not have vocal training. She absorbed this all herself immersing herself in Jazz on U-Tube from the age of 3 yrs old. Her family recognized the uniqueness of her voice and abilities and did not want to mess with it. This is all Angelina. She has chosen everything she does and has had a part if not total control of the arrangements from this same age. Prodigy? Yes there is video of her at 18 months old sing a couple of lines of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston into a toy mic. She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGaweJh5is-Ai5Y Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. ♥👣 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 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.

Angelina is the youngest published author in Norway. She wrote a book on why she performs barefoot on stage. When Angelina was traveling at age 6 the family was going through a market where another girl had bathroom scales. The young girl was raising money for her family as she was the eldest. So Angelina and bathroom scales girl sat down and talked. The Bathroom scales girl wanted to be a doctor but had to raise money for family. Angelina noticed that Bathroom scales girl had no shoes so Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to her and made a promise that when performing she would go barefoot until and children have shoes. The bathroom scales promised to pray for Angelina every night. And now you know why Angelina performs barefoot and why she is known as the "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" on the internet. Cheers. PS great reaction :)

[@103mrg]

jack In her own words, Angelina explains in this interview the real reason she performs barefoot: As fans have come to know, Jordan likes to perform barefoot, in honor of a young girl she met when she was 6 who didn’t have any shoes. Ever since the young singer gave that girl her shoes, she’s performed without wearing her own..... “I want to remind myself that there are less fortunate people around the world who need help,” she says. “It is a great reminder for me.”

[@TheBlaster54]

You are watching a bona fide musical genius and uniquely gifted and talented child prodigy. She has been creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was seven and eight years old. Angelina has and catalogue of approximately 160 cover and original songs. She was fourteen when she signed with Republic Records in November of 2020. She is the youngest Norwegian citizens to have written a book and had it published. She was nine when she wrote her book. She used her notes from her diary to write her book. There is a video of Angelina explaining why she goes barefoot when she performs. She is known as being the barefoot princes with the Mona Lisa smile. She is already a living legend.

[@lucar01inos16]

You're one of the few reactors who knew who Screaming' Jay Hawkins was. Now you know he's not dead.

[@christophersmith2793]

Angelina does all her own arrangements even on this version!

[@charlesallison6385]

You mentioned the adorable Factor you need to go back 2 to 3 years when she was seven on Norway's got talent then you will see ADORABLE!!!

[@fredneecher1746]

Great reaction. As an older man (73) I do appreciate a reactor who knows his stuff and can make comparisons. Out of interest, you might want to see her jamming with the same band on Screaming Jay's "Portrait of a Man" (which she changed to "Child"). It gives an insight into how comfortable she is with accomplished professionals. As for another song, try It's A Man's World which she sings with the Norwegian Stabsmusikkorps (something like that!) Military Band. Or Feeling Good at the Gir Tilbake Livestream. And having done that, you are only scratching the surface of what this amazing singer has already achieved.

[@louisegogel7973]

Do you have a link?

[@Carlito-Fxwg]

Wow at last someone who knows the original Screaming Jay Hawkins...most reactors dont have a clue about this Great Artist and this song...and AJ kills it, my favorite performance by her.

[@ooshta]

Thanks for the nice reaction to (9) Angie. Angie said it in an interview a year later (when she was around 10 at interview) about this song: “It means love Desperate love. It's very special, it's almost voodoo The original is very nice, and when I scream it is a desperate cry that everyone should love each other.”- AJ. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Angie has arranged over 150 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also so far, & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already at 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combined with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =) (Below you might want to do a double reaction from Angie's short interview) Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min. Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXjNoouuhsd5naM this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction

[@louisegogel7973]

I hadn’t heard that interview of what Angelina had said about this song, thank you. I am looking forward to seeing her soon… September 22, 2023, not quite two months to go!

[@muchkneaded]

Great, insightful reaction! And thank you for including the link to the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Angelina has masterfully covered artists like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Elvis...all of whom I used to listen to while growing up. She's also covered more recent artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Michael Jackson, Lana del Rey, Queen, Rhianna.... Take your pick, you won't be disappointed, brother.

[@elizabethparsons629]

"I'm still holding out for you" -Angelina Jordan.

[@grizeldiaz9558]

She is incredible, out of this world!..she has so many covers and some originals, she does her own arrangements in the covers. I have so many favourite from her! ..one of them is "Born to Die" at the age of 12...regards from Norway! 🇳🇴

[@jjleeisme]

If you noticed her writing in the beginning, those were instructions that were then read by the band leader. Now, at the end she became pensive and put her fingers to her chin. There was something she didn't like. That is why she was out of the booth with the band. They were doing a retake which was cut into the first take. There are not a lot of problems with bleed through to her mike. If you ever worked with orchestras and lead classical singers for a stage performance the effects are minimal if any. Even live rock bands don't have much of a problem with bleed through.

[@robertsilva631]

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 arrangement based after listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - 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 on how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLOi3d3ja90aqc

[@robertedwardpenn91]

Angelina wrote an incredibly emotional song called "Million Miles" in memory of her beloved grandfather who had just passed away (at that time). She was 13/14 years old. She recorded it later as her first single for her new label, Republic Records. Do a reaction to the black and white live studio version. It is one of three companion videos. The others are the actual official Republic video music release and a lyrics version. I highly recommend doing a reaction to the lyrics version second. It is the same recording as the official version but has graphics done by her grandmother, a noteworthy Iranian artist. With these videos, she has produced a quite stunning beginning of her career with Republic. Also, the pianist in the live studio video is a very high up Republic executive. Angelina commented that when she was in the studio doing the song she cried throughout the session. You can hear and see the pain she feels for her loss when you watch the live studio set. She said she wanted the song to be for anyone that had such a loss. With consideration to the that background to her song, you will get as emotional as she is when she recorded it. She has a magical vocal power to draw you into this other dimension. She has always put her soul and emotions into her works. She arranges most all her music, as she has been doing since she began performing over the past ten plus years.

[@ros8737]

The other most introduction to Angelina is her Bohemian Rhapsody on America Got Talent. Another Queen song she did is The Show Must Go On, shaking the walls in her living room.

[@TheBlaster54]

Since you enjoy studio performances, then you should watch Angelina’s very first studio performance when she was six years old. In this session she sings, “I Who Have Nothing”. Be prepared to be just as amazed as you are in this performance.

[@StarVoyager9]

Aside of being a true prodigy, a genuine phenom, these videos of hers, more than incredible and amazing, they are, at the very least , historic .

[@McDevittMike]

Angelina is a musical genius, pure and simple. Her understanding of music is phenomenal and her ability to express the emotion of a song is spectacular. In this, she pulls the music out of a circus act and makes it beautiful. Most people emulate the Nina Simone version. Not Angie; back to the madhouse and rescue the song. This is the best, most impressive, video I've seen this century and it blows my mind even after hundreds of views. 😎

[@livingLge]

You have stumbled upon the greatest singer of our time. The rabbit hole is deep, but it is an amazing journey! Can't wait to see more

[@mrtonyo1965]

Angelina is the greatest talent I have ever seen. Her latest is incredible. “My Funny Valentine” which was written in 1937 She absolutely kills it, showcasing her incredible vocal skills, and it’s the best version I ever heard. She sings cover songs which are amazing. Enjoy the ride, and best wishes

[@markkleckner3060]

You've arrived to a music ride that will change your way of listening to music. She pours Emotion in every song, that not to many Artist can do, but being so young is what is different. As one had said before, to listen to a song, you can turn on the radio or put on a record. If you want to feel a song you need to watch an Angelina Jordan video, The Queen of Jazz/Emotion/Covers, God Bless!

[@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 (145+ 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 (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!

I tell you truly, this video is as amazing a video as I have ever seen on KZbin. 9 year old Lion roars!! Angelina is as deep a rabbit hole as you will ever find. Great reaction as per usual and par for the course. I could see your head shaking during the final phrases of the song mirroring the wonder I felt the first time I watched. Don't miss Feeling Good Bohemian Rhapsody, I Have Nothing or Million Miles (an original). . Other than those she has about 140 World class performances to choose from including songs by Ella, Billie, Frank, Louie and James Brown, 3 covers of Amy Winehouse that are stunning, and an ability to make any Adele song hers. Yeah it's definitely a ride. ✌💖🎼 ✌💖🎼

New subscriber - thanks to your great, enthusiastic reaction to Angelina's masterful performance (which she also arranged) - at age 9. And as young as she is here, I strongly recommend going back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) at ages 7-8. Since each is a short talent show clip, you might want to react to one of the compilation videos available that covers all 4. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

[@zoeminelson8565]

" I'm still holding out for you" Song written by Baby Fuzz, who then asked angelina to do a demo because he wanted to know what her take on the song would be, never been released cause her mom whitheld it due to the connection of the song whit suicide, but the audio leaked and a fan put a video to it--- thats a really amazing performance. She was 10 at the time. But there will be many others you gonna like from the barefoot angel whit te 1000 voices. Great reaction btw.

[@fskuma8820]

I second this one, it's haunting and amazing. I gently suggest you watch "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" when she was 13, before going to "I'm Still Holding Out for You". Work your way (enjoyably) to that masterpiece.

[@johnroache32]

I saw Screaming Jay perform this live on American bandstand probably in 1956? Angelina has all the nuances of the original song🌺

[@theoxley]

The band and the singer have to be on the same level.....otherwise it doesn't work. Angelina and the band made it work.

[@inkjetblue1872]

She's in my favorite 'Cover' Play List. It's not easy getting in there. I have never seen this studio take. Tone is amazing at nine. Good Bye Yellow Brook Road is my favorite on America's Got Talent. It's not on iTunes.

[@shabkarpa]

The fact you knew that song and could recognize him on the candle (which I assume she made) put you ahead of lots of reactors right away. I really like her version better than his (as I do most of her covers--and she covers some great songs by great singer/songwriters). Jay says he wrote it as a ballad but got drunk at the recording session and that take was so successful he hammed it up with a lot of stuff that really wouldn't pass muster today. If you only do one other song by her, it has to be her reinvention of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT at 13 (she's 16 now). I like her versions of Stay, When We Were Young, I'd Rather Go Blind, her tribute to her friend Avicii Wake Me Up, Marshmallow's Happier, Born to Die--there are so many. As you can see, she covers the best by the best. You're gonna love it.

[@Chris1969o]

AJ accomplishes the Impossible on a regular basis!

[@gebendeavors907]

Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five songs: ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLXhpWMgMdjrNU] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2jLm4qdabmiiLM] [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mydJV3odeSapo] ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebnp15nZqcn6c) ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2e2mp-to7dlkMU] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5KapJSVo5yeY5o) ---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCWnpuuhbJgq6M]

[@gebendeavors907]

Angelina also has set of short and long covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. There happens to be one TikTok version that is full performance that she also did in studio with Republic Records. TikTok version is mind-bending since it is done singing in her room at night yet sounds like it was recorded in studio setting. Some examples include following. ---- When You Believe [sung in studio as 15-year-old and on TikTok as 16-year old. This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnzEiYxqfsmNapI). Song is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song] - Republic Records studio version by Angelina: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3LPh61_bZJonrM - TikTok version by Angelina: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbIaaxvltunqqs ---- House Of The Rising Sun [as 16-year old. Song originally was traditional folk song from 1930s. Most famous version is by British rock band The Animals in 1964 when it became #1 hit (kzbin.info/www/bejne/al6XZJ-CgMakeLM). Instagram version by Angelina with her playing electric guitar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jILWg6SMmt1_eas] ---- Endless Love [as 15-year old. Famously sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie at 54th Academy Awards in 1982 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHWxnYyepJh0aLs). Released in 1981 and became #1 Billboard hit. TikTok version by Angelina with piano: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIjYhmeggrCkgtk] ---- Fields Of Gold [as 15 year-old. One of most famous songs by Sting that was written in 1993. Not big commercial success, this modern ballad has been covered by many artists (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX25omN_dt-bZ6M). TikTok version by Angelina with simple guitar is wonderful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aojae3t-rd17jM0] ---- Love Is A Game [as 15-year old. This is on Adele’s 30 album released in late 2021 following her divorce from Simon Konecki. Song itself refers to how she is ready to love again after her divorce and hints at her relationship with new boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3XRdYKfe6eqZtk). TikTok version by Angelina with piano sounds like recorded in studio rather than at home on cell phone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/honFiqWshZipaqs] ---- Lost On You [as 15-year-old. This 2015 song is by American recording artist LP (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXXNlnWEq5ucppI). It topped charts of thirteen countries. TikTok version by Angelina with piano leaves you to want more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWK1f2Okh7Bsis0] ---- Can’t Help Falling In Love With You [Angelina recorded full version of song when she was 11-years old (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnOyoHeOe8l3bZI). Here Angelina is walking down sidewalk while singing short version of song acappella. This 1961 song by Elvis Presley was on his Blue Hawaii album. Melody was based upon French love song “Plaisir d’amour” that was written in 1784: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3uVc2CEjLymr5I]

Strongdad you will find that Angelina does a lot of her performances with large bands several with entire orchestras Quincy Jones 85 birthday celebration ( fly me to the moon rehearsal) , summer time with KORK , feeling good in Germany with a mini orchestra to name a few. She has traveled the world doing charity events turned down many record companies after winning Norway’s got talent at age 8 including Disney ( her parents are keeping a tight reign on her they have now however let her sign with Republic Records with the understanding education comes first

I say this in all my comments to reactions of this. The last note was spectacular, there isn't 5 people on this planet that could do that as well, and none better.

steven The last line ("I'm yours right now") was spectacular. ONE BREATH!

Got to her and, primarily the same musicians, at her "practicing" Portrait of a Child.

The lyrics are her version and are hand written and she also hand wrote the arrangements of where she wanted the band to stop or where she wanted new changes ant those are hand written by her and that's what she gave the band leader.

As you go through her videos you are going to see how she often looks to her left reading the lyrics. As stated by her guitarists these videos is often never rehearsed meaning she is making the songs her own as she goes. How this is even possible, nobody will ever understand. She can sing any genre and you will notice she always add parts of the original singer and parts of AJ of course.

Very nice first reaction StongDad to the music genius/prodigy Angelina Jordan Astar. This is quite authentic and this is this 9 year olds arrangement and interpretation of Screamin Jay's 1956 original. This is a great jazz band backing her here and she has done other things with them as well. The affectionately refer to her as the "Boss" in studio. Those hand written notes handed to the band leader were her "wishes" for how she wanted to perform this song. This is already an iconic masterpiece on YT and for good reason. You just discovered the "golden egg" so to speak and everything she does is spectacular. Hope to see you continue on a journey with Angelina as you shall find that her millions and millions of supporters are wonderful people with a lot of information for you.

Well strongdad, you must be a bit weak at the knees by now. Angelina is the best either male or female i have ever ever encountered in 70 years.

[@bingobillable]

Subscribed in hopes you will dive into her rabbit hole. This is actually her interpretation and arrangement. The notes in the beginning were last minute changes/wishes for the band leader. She is a true prodigy.

She put a spell on all of us!

"This young lady packs a punch, doesn't she?" She knocks me out every time I listen to her!

[@terrypuccio870]

This is the first song I heard AJ sing. That is when I figured out she is phenomenal. Empress of Jazz can sing ANY genre with little effort.
