Classical Singer First Time Reaction- Angelina Jordan | Gloomy Sunday. Amazing at only 7 years old!!

My name is Josh. Subtitles:21 languages. Angelina owned this performance. She seems to just enter into her own world when she sings and an old soul within her takes over. Such a phenomenal artist. She was 7 years old and the power of her performance touched every judge. So, looking forward to continuing on her journey with you. Thank you for watching my reactions.

She said to the judges, “Thank you very much!” This was her first performance to see if she could go forward in the competition. The next one is even more amazing.

[@ExtremeRecluse]

The lyrics, the phrasing, the emotion, the obvious mechanics, the interpretation, the connection, the inflections, the dynamics, the pain, the ability to tell the story ... And she is 7 years old. Billy Holiday fans were probably busting out in tears with raw emotion. It is commonly said that music soothes the soul. It does more than that. It completes many of us. It wakes us up and takes us on a journey. This was one of the darkest periods in Billie's life. She bared her soul through her music. This little kid has rebared her soul from the grave. How she is able to do it is something only she knows deep inside. Nobody learns how to do this. A gift from God.

[@sanixfiles]

Judges: " It sounded like the girl has been drinking whiskey since she was born!" Woww..

[@lefinlay]

In Europe you can say that 😂 even in the UK, it just means someone has a husky/raspy voice

[@amather1000]

We will probably wait a long time again until we find talent who can sing like this, as you said, anomaly .. fortunately extremely positive!

[@deejohnson4793]

I'm A Fool To Want You is just as good, Angelina Jordan.

[@stillracer2514]

Yeah that's mom! Angelina looks like a lil pro on stage! One of the judges later says about her voice it's like Angelina has been drinking whiskey since she was born.

[@ulyseslabajo]

Her mom wanted her to sing twinkle twinkle little star... She just said NO. 😅 She must have been hearing jazz music even when she's still inside her mother's womb. She may not fully understand the song word for word but definitely she understand what the song is all about. And it's just unreal for her age to deliver such required emotions for such a deep and dark song like Gloomy Sunday. It's just not possible. She's something else.

[@TheBlaster54]

Angelina’s award winning performance of “Summer Time” is literally breath taking and astonishing. I have watched that performance several times and yet I still find it difficult to wrap my mind around how a seven year old child can put forth a performance that is on par with the original singer’s. There exists a video produced by a reactor that directly compares Angelina’s performance to the original artist’s and it is unbelievable to hear how seven year old Angelina’s rendition is equal of the original artist’s.

[@duncan.5228]

There are reactors, and there are people who jump on the bandwagon, hoping to boost their ratings. They have nothing to say ! I'm glad there are people like you, who can help decode the mystery of Angelina.

[@rosemars8]

She is unique and fantastic. Certainly has a God given talent. No doubt about that. Wish she has a great and long career. Like your also very soulful reaction too. 👍🏼

[@davidharris1483]

It is her mother Sara Astar. Mery her grandmother is probably the single biggest influence on Angelina. Her younger sister is also special to me, Juliette.

[@antonionoperi2333]

First of all, yes, that is Angelina's mother watching in front of the monitor behind the curtains. As you saw in the first video with Angelina at 6 years old and understood that she did have an awareness of what she wanted to do and how to do it, and I know you understand that in 1 years difference she had a phenomenal growth in her musicality and the choices that she had made at seven years old at the Norway's Got Talent contest, one might deduce that she is a musical genius or a Mozart in our times.😊

[@user-gh8jx6sl5m]

Потрясающая девочка!

[@mehdikeyha3755]

👍👍🙏🙏💙💙 don't worry about the pausing just do what u got to do

[@fredneecher1746]

I love that pause after the judge asks if she knows what the song is about and she says, yes, it's about a sad Sunday. In that pause he thinks: she doesn't know - but she sings like she does - how do I phrase this?

[@jefffisher1045]

The empathy meter is off the chart on the stage and off.

[@TheBlaster54]

What is most remarkable to me other than her singing talent is Angelina’s surprising vibrato, her tone, her lower register, her pitch, her ability sustain notes clearly and last, but not least, her singing in both her native tongue and English. I was also remarkable to see that Angelina was quite comfortable, cool, calm and relaxed while performing in what is a stressful situation for most performers.

[@michaelschettl9509]

Like to see reaction to her 9 yr old studio performance of I Put A Spell on You .

[@destitute8493]

It wasn't just the judges' reactions. The entire nation was in a state of wonder after that performance. 5 million KZbin views in a couple of weeks--in a country with a total population of 5.5 million.

[@samtosamto3879]

El único análisis correcto, el mejor que vi, sobre Angelina, lo técnico en ella, pese a lo bueno que es, es secundario, ella interpreta de manera superlativa la deliberacion emoiva presente en las canciones. Como tu lo dices, su madurez, lucidez emotiva sorprenden. Y canta para contarnos que la vida vivida sin temores es una fiesta. Canta como modo de manifestar, compartir las vivencias de su alma. Cuando ella canta, por instantes, asoma a nuestra cara ese niño que fuimos y que olvidado , cuando escucha su voz en otro niño reaparece Google translator The only correct analysis, the best I saw, about Angelina, the technicality in her, despite how good she is, is secondary, she interprets in a superlative way the emotional deliberation present in the songs. As you say, her maturity, her emotional clarity are surprising. And she sings to tell us that life lived without fear is a party. She sings as a way of manifesting, sharing the experiences of her soul. When she sings, for a moment, she shows our face that child that we were and that was forgotten, when she hears her voice in another child, it reappears

[@mariakawiti4508]

Ohhhh!! I understand now...thankyou for that piece of information

[@davidfoster9697]

Great reaction Thank you

[@sandyleewhite]

Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!

[@sarlina1]

Going through the reactions from the judges, I am so impressed by what they all said. They nailed every comment. First, Omar is the first one ever to say that she is like an old soul, living many lives. Lisa said that she "IS music", that is so true. Mia said here we have a star, and that Angelina is born to sing. Then Bjarte with how it is possible for a child to sing this way. They all said and captured exactly what others have repeated for many years. I really want to give the judges credit for that. It was so obvious for all of us who watched this live, what a special and historical moment this was. Angelina did so good here, my tears still feel this performance. Thank you, Josh, you are one of my favorites 👍

[@kevingood4644]

Sarlina A his voice is beautiful..really dreamy..and I can see now how it's slowly dawning on him that this young lady he's reacting to is very very special..I love watching the penny drop with reactors and especially those in the industry. He's clearly utterly taken aback by her as we all are ))

[@richdandanell2911]

You should react to the rest of her performances on NGT or at the very least her final performance " Summertime " . You can plainly see her confidence and skill improving from song to song . It's a beautiful thing to watch .

[@coyotej4895]

I would Love to here Angelina cover Vera Lynn's - We'll Meet Again. I am sure there would not be a dry eye on the internet.

[@McDevittMike]

People just don't sing like that anymore. This is unbelievable

[@madelaca4589]

So sorry about your BR reaction! This approach will work much better :) I always says Angelina sings "emotions", so what you said is right on the same train of thinking. I'm sure as she was studying her schools music program, one day she told her mom she wanted to participate in this talent show. Her mom, knowing her passion for music, must have said, OK, let's do it and enjoy it. Just like that. And yes, that's Angelina's mom behind the stage and you saw her in the audience in the Bohemian Rhapsody reaction. She was sitting with her other daughter, her mother and brother ;)

[@McDevittMike]

Make sure you listen to the rest of her NGT performances and you'll know why the world fell in love with her.

[@janbar8136]

heart-warming

[@billmichealoff9549]

Very nice reaction, very respectful to beauty and purity of the soul of this child. She could not fake what she does, it is not possible. She is an angel. We are blessed to witness her life.

[@albertphilippi4371]

That was my first Angelina video. I was overwhelmed and immediately fell in love with Angelina's voice. I did not know the original song and after listening to it I only really realized what a child prodigy Angelina is. ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺💯

[@TheBlaster54]

You did see Angelina’s mother in the Bohemian Rhapsody performance. In fact, immediately following Angelina’s performance the camera goes to the audience’s reaction. The first people you see are Angelina’s grandmother, her mother, her little sister and her her uncle.

[@ivanacool1]

yes, that's her mom

[@marleensteurbaut3630]

That is her mom. When asked why she cried she replied ‘that moment I realized I lost her to the world’ ( I read that in a comment somewhere).

[@JerryCernava]

I wish I had a camera on me the first time I heard this. I bet my jaw was on the table! I had been searching KZbin for singers who could cover Billie Holiday (my favorite singer of the last 30 years). The first time I looked through the search results I skipped over Angelina. Thinking how could a 7 year old begin to sound like Billie Holiday? After listen to a lot of covers that didn't come close, I went back and decided to give Angelina a try and haven't stopped listening to her since. That was 9 months ago.

[@jerrylarocque9600]

My initial intro to Angelina was much different than yours. Some 3 years ago i searched " got talent winners" and Angelina's Gloomy Sunday et al from Norway's Got Talent was one of the search results. I watched and was blown away. Had i searched using your criteria, i'm sure i would have bypassed her performance as well. After all, what's a little kid doing singing this song. I can't help but think of the aphorisms "don't judge a book by it's cover" and "looks can be deceiving".

[@geofthompson3844]

I have a guilty pleasure, which is to watch audition videos, there's just so many great surprises and Angelina just popped up and I thought Billie Holiday, really? And then I watched and I've been hooked ever since. Imo she is already the best Jazz singer alive.

[@ingridprofitt6078]

Welcome to Angelina world, we only exist in it...lol!

[@PK--ITA]

Timeline is a god way to react to reacting... That's what I do, always

[@fredneecher1746]

The section in the song about the dream is an addition made when Billie Holliday wanted to sing the song on US television. The producers felt it was too dark for the audience and had this 'cop-out' verse added to the original Hungarian version.

[@ShirleyHickman-oy7go]

Amazing 🥰❤️

[@jeffnicholson6810]

Well done! Loved your reaction👍 im an Angelina fan and a Billie Holiday fan now😊

[@rebloop2010]

Hi Josh, please react to Angelina Jordan '' I'm a Fool to want you '' acapella. Thank You

[@ollietsb1704]

"She could sing at one and a half" but that comes from her household. Music. Her grandmother bringing these old jazz albums in, listening to Gershwin over and over. Angelina doesn't just have a good voice - she's got great ears and obviously has learned to vocalize those tones and beyond. I am still split about the "old soul" issue... I think she's got this fabulous ear and is such a great student of music. Thanks again to her grandmother and her household for supporting and encouraging this.

[@ooshta]

I agree about the old soul. Angelina has the perfect pitch skill and I think what some people mean by old souls is that she has an ability way beyond her years that only seasoned professionals should have.

[@davidharris1483]

I have no doubt that she could, and the family actually has a video of her doing exactly that.

[@juancarlosperezmartinez9579]

Nice reaction. I recommend you to React to Spanish diva and songwriter DIANA NAVARRO, to her song ADIÓS (Good bye) where she is saying good bye from heaven to her loved person, It is only audio with a beautiful image of her, but it is amazing. Don't miss it. And to her masterpiece El Perdón (The forgiveness) Look for the lyrics in english to understand her feelings and emotions. I am sure you will enjoy.

[@sonjajelinski921]

She is always amazing.

[@bettyanderson3467]

I can’t wait to hear your reaction to “I Put A Spell On You” (B&W version)!

[@robertsmith4019]

My God, takes her time, let's it all breathe, and just pulls you in.

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

I'm sure that the song needed to be cut down to fit the time limits of the show, and I think it was a good choice to take out that second verse ;) As with many people, I was blown away when I first heard this. But I don't think I appreciated it fully until I was putting together a video that combined Angelina's performance with the original from Billie Holiday. When you hear them together it is incredible how much Angelina (at 7) was able to capture the sounds of Billie's voice.... while still making it her own in some ways. As far as the copyrights... most of the people watching Angelina reactions are familiar with the issues reaction channels run into, and are supportive of the things you need to do to avoid problems.

[@lucar01inos16]

The song,originally Hungarian, was banned in many countries after its release (late 20's, I think) because many suicides were linked to it. Even in the UK the song remained banned till the beginning of this century. Billie Holiday's version was popular in the USA. Angelina's is based on the latter. Awe-inspiring rendition when she was seven years old (officially)

[@rickrack9154]

at 1.5 yrs old... I think she was videotaped just half asleep, singing out a couple phrases of a Whitney Houston song............ A couple yrs later, there is a video of her trying to teach her little sister to sing that song. To no avail>!!!!!!!

[@ajplaylistsbyfan]

Here's the video, with timestamp just before the short part showing her singing at 1.5 years old: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvNeGlueculY5o To me it doesn't look like she is half asleep, but that she is closing her eyes to feel the song, just like she does with Gloomy Sunday.

[@jerrylarocque9600]

Too bad your Bohemian Rhapsody reaction was taken down. I watched and enjoyed it. Your commitment to react to Angelina Jordan has brought me on as a subscriber.

[@ronaldpessy6229]

You must listen to her "Million years ago" from Adele". Alone her voice and a guitarist. What a Voice! its deep and you hear her old soul ! It send shivers down my spine !

[@albertstern1945]

What will amaze you is the mass difference between this, her first performance on NGT, and Summertime, her last. Amazing

[@robertostrowski-oh6nk]

U will be amazed if @ when you react @ view Angelina Jordan singing Portrait Of A Child, it's in studio at 8 years old

[@billweekley4077]

When you get to her last song of NGT “Summertime “ you should watch “Angelina Jordan Summertime Rehearsal 2014”. She is instructing the trumpet player as to how she wants it to be played. She indicates she wants him to go higher and she wants it in the key of A and to do the long version. What little girl at anytime who just turned eight does that.

[@pompeymik]

I used to be an atheist...

[@vb6729]

The blonde woman backstage was her Mom. Even though she may have heard that song from Angelina she also had to cry... Her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar, is the daughter of Iranian artist and poet Mery Zamani and a Japanese father.

[@VolatileSupernova]

Yes that's her mom! She is very supportive of her talent while also making sure she enjoys normal childhood, a great mom.

[@voyageur7393]

Have you noticed? there is one more star in the sky since Angelina Jordan sang. It is almost impossible to react to Angélina Jordan because she is exceptional. She was born with all the talents of an artist apart. At 13, she is a unique artist in the world with an extraordinary voice, captivating and so beautiful that transmits so many emotions and I also believe the greatest of all, human love. And most incredible of all is her personality which is as exceptional as her voice, sweet, spiritual, generous, loving, joyful, modest, simple. This young woman is a rare diamond, a gift to be watched and listened to without moderation, like the beauty of a mountain lake. Everyone is conquered and bewitched by it and repeats the same thing. In the end, the fairest thing is to accept this pure joy that she shares and be silent.

[@fernandof.2225]

Great reaction. I read that Angelina's videos are never cause of copyright issues. Isn't her mom gorgeous? be ready for the shock you will have with "I put a spell on you". Her voice kept maturing since this show.

[@ginajung6205]

Angelina live when she's super focussed and pushing her talent hard must be almost overwhelming for an audience.I can barely imagine where she takes that as an adult.

[@davidtouma4878]

Thank you for your reaction and analysis. You are correct when you say Angelina at that young age didn’t understand the deep meanings of the lyrics. She understood that it was about a “sad Sunday” and pours her emotions in it that we all in the words of one of the judges felt that sad Sunday. Later on Angelina realized that this was labeled as the “suicide song” by many people and has refused to sing it again even when requested by many to do that at live performances.

[@chrissnyder6915]

Don't miss the a capella song she did as part of the competition. Most reactors miss this one.

[@1949ala]

Remember she doesn't speak english, she learns from listening , that is her mom, you will see her in almost everything she does, he dad sometimes also

[@ajplaylistsbyfan]

She did speak English when 8 years old, see this interview from 2014: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHOqfoRvgN1sn6s Here she speaks English quite well, but has some trouble finding the right words to say.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thanks for the wonderful and sweet reaction, SingerDad, the first public show with Gloomy Sunday was an event of amazement for anyone who experienced it at the time, the emotion that is felt for her first performances, in which she wonderfully connects the her voice and her talent for that aspect of her little bird that plays, is very large and intense and leaves you permanently marked. To think that at 7 years of age she was perfectly able to read, analyze and connect, in a foreign language, without any doubt or fear, with the public and the judges of talent seems impossible. She convinced her mother to join her because she was sure of herself ... at seven years old! In the days following the evening, his online video recorded over 5 million views in a country, Norway, which has as many inhabitants ... 😁😁 I too remember your first reaction with her that I had loved much. In fact, however, in the following years Angelina no longer sang this song. The first judge, at the end of this song, said what remains for me the simplest and most suitable description of Angelina, said: "you are the music", there is nothing more true. ❤️

[@kevingood4644]

It's about suicide and was actually banned in the UK..AJ is one very special rare human being. We are so lucky to be here to witness her change the world in her own wonderful way..thanks for continuing your AJ journey..she's utterly remarkable and moves me every day! Take care sir..regards from England. You'll come across "I'm Holding Out For You" soon which is also about suicide..interestingly and despite it being a fan fav, she has outright refused to sing the sing ever again! A little tip..throughout her performances watch her eyes.. Ps I've watched this so many times and it brings tears to my eyes every time! There is something ethereal about her.. Pps lol..sorry..this was right at the end of a very long day..she was exhausted and yet was still able to deliver this performance..I can't wait for you to see her development over the next two songs..it shouldn't be possible but there she is,..

[@ajplaylistsbyfan]

I don't understand how any fan could think of "I'm Holding Out For You" as favorite, as it was published without Angelina's approval. Also I've read that once Angelina later on learned what "Gloomy Sunday" is about - it's called a suicide song - she said she will never again sing that song either.

[@clydeatrowbridge]

that's her mom sara. pep talk as angelina is taking stage. sara "are you ready inside " angelina " yes " sara " good - go out and give them jazz." angelina high-fives mom... the young male judge is a dancer/ rapper. when angelina is in norway he likes to uber her around because she sings in the car.. the 1st lady is a comedienne and as angelina was leaving stage remarked " did u hear that rasp - she must have been drinking whiskey since she was born. the 2nd lady is mia and she is a singer. she had a xmas tour that ended is oslo and angelina joined her on stage and mia said angelina came up with their arrangement by herself. about gloomy sunday angelina said that it reminded of all the pain the children of the world are in...thanks... here is a 4:48 clip of an interview with angelina.she reads from her diary about her erncounter with the homeless girl she gave her shoes to and talks about the book she wrote..her character , humanity , and compassion are as amazing as her musical genius. u will never see angelina in the same light after watching this...kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo

Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Great reaction!!! A little backstory, for some of your subscribers who may not know......Angelina's Grandmother loved Blues & Jazz music, & they used to listen to it all the time, & Angelina felt an immediate connection, so her younger style tipped the scale closer to Jazz, and as she ages, she has developed many other styles of music, including her own,& now can sing almost anything!!! She also sews most of her outfits, does all her own musical arrangements, & goes barefoot, because she met a young girl when performing one day, who had no shoes & could not afford to buy any, so Angelina gave her the shoes she had on, & in memory of the girl, & poverty issues, she continues to goes barefoot! What can I say, except this young girl, is an inspiration, an amazing talent, has a huge compassionate heart, & the world is a much nicer place to be, with her in it !!! Really enjoyed your reaction!

[@rickrack9154]

it is about suicide to join the dead loved one. Have you listened to the Billie Holiday original? I had not and thought not much of this performance when I first heard it, thinking it was all over the place... THEN I DID listen to it a few weeks later and WOW was I wrong. SHE captures the Billie H. tone, pace, intonations so well. Mimicry or not. THIS video is a precious historic piece of the MUSIC arena now............... forever.

[@clydeatrowbridge]

"She understands human emotions". Wow, I really love your thoughtful reactions to Angelina Jordan and I hope to see more of them in the future.

[@ooshta]

That was an amazing reaction. Thank you. I'm looking forward to more react reactions to Angelina..

[@YozhikvTumane]

Really like your reaction/review of this performance. Perhaps Angelina's mom or grandmother have explained to her about the suicidal context of the song, but she didn't want to bring that up. For sure Bjarte knows it and I respect him a lot for not pushing that question any further. "It's about a sad Sunday" - that's all we have to know really. And as both you and Bjarte said, Angelina made us feel that sadness, but in a warm and cozy way. Regarding your "Bohemian Rhapsody" review: I think if you edit out the backstage and pre-performance interview onstage and the judges review sections you'll be ok without having it blocked. Showing just the song wont cause a blocking from Freemantle (but you might still get caught by KZbin's content-ID thingy saying that all money will go to copyright owners).

[@RobertDeMartin]

Josh, she actually acknowledges what you said. That "something" happens when she begins to sing. Amazing. Figure out a way to redo Bohemian Rhapsody. I predict your reaction will be even better than the first one. And, maybe you can show it to us when you get to the 13-14 year old recordings. I don't know how you do it but most of us are overwhelmed by her voice and you also appreciate what you're hearing but you can offer very professional comments at the same time. Great!

[@anacatarinamartins4762]

Thank you so much to react Angelina!!! I love this girl

[@DonaldLancon]

There is a longer version of this with more pre- and -post-song stuff kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo (and in-video English subtitles, rather than separate captions available through the "CC" feature, which, as you could see, got out of sync in this video). It provides additional context for the judges' comments, especially the one about her being "a star". (In the little pre-song interview, Angelina says she wants to be a "superstar" when she grows up.) It also contains one of the very few appearances of her father (the dark-haired man usually seen with her is her uncle/manager - he's not seen in this video, though). Her father is the light-haired man seen in the background 27 seconds in, holding Angelina's baby sister (Juliette) as she leans down to hug Angelina. He is seen again at 6 minutes and 27 seconds, still holding Juliette, as this time _he_ leans down to kiss Angelina's forehead. And he's seen in the following shot where the woman is talking to Angelina's mother (Sara) in the foreground (who, yes, was the woman crying backstage during the performance). The older woman seen leaving with Angelina and her mother at the end of the video (and at several other times) is Angelina's grandmother, Mery, who seemingly has recorded every minute of her granddaughter's life. (In fact, in the first shot of Angelina's father, Mery is seen in the foreground recording the scene.) Anyway… the next video you will be doing, assuming you're following Rusty Shackleford's playlist, is the only version worth reacting to, but there are longer versions of her other two NGT appearances that include judges' comments with English captions, if you'd prefer to react to those. (I posted this info under your reaction to "I, Who Have Nothing", but I guess I did it too late for you to notice.) Here's the relevant info again (the first link in each item is the one in Rusty's playlist): * kzbin.info/www/bejne/gonOn3-QedSFjLM "I'm a Fool to Want You" [Billie Holiday] sung a cappella in 2nd round - no post-song judges' comments in this round, and the only pre-song stuff is just her saying what she's going to sing, so subtitles/captions are not necessary (note that this particular video is [almost] the only one on YT that has the complete performance: all other popular uploads of it use an edited version that omits the entire bridge of the song) * kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnTEdayfpthqjck "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" [Nancy Sinatra] live in the semifinals - longer version with English captions ("CC") available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppSloHVqbqyrpJo (includes post-song judges' comments - unfortunately, the video is in the wrong aspect ratio, so you should still react to the other video for the song itself) * kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKSll3WrmJ6Xb6s "Summertime" [Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong] live in the finals - longer version with English captions available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ_Td6Z5g7CtfMk (includes pre-song mini-interview and post-song judges' comments)

Yes, her mom. Please do more Angelina reactions... like your comments and , of course, reactions to this young prodigy.

[@quantockbeech]

Having heard many more of Angelina's covers I agree that, as you say, she understands the human emotion. Shortened/changed lyrics are appropriate (as in other covers by Angelina). Yes, you saw her mother, grandmother, sister and uncle in the audience at AGT. Subscribed in anticipation of more of your thoughts on Angelina, and to see what else you do! Thank you.

[@jorahssquire6966]

Great reaction Singerdad - what I can't get over is just how much she actually sounds like Billy Holiday -the tone, cadence,spacing- everything, yet she still makes it her own. Incredibly remarkable for anyone - Especially for a seven year old. Her other Norway's Got Talent performances are equally remarkable...- She never ceases to amaze. Look forward to more of your reactions.

[@briarmaster08]

Thank you for giving an explanation about YT Copyright issues. This performance is a gem. When you listen to Billie Holiday's original version you can absolutely appreciate what Angelina pulled off here. This was the result of constant pleading from Angelina to her mother Sara, and Sara finally giving in to let her audition. So glad that you are moving through Angelina music.

[@christinelim29]

Great reactions from you always. See you soon

[@juliochavez7161]

The respect in your reactions of Angelina is noteworthy. She is my favorite singer and I subscribed because I felt you would follow this journey to Angelina. Looking forward to your next reaction. Thumbs up Josh.

Cucciola talentuosa! 👍🏻🙃👍🏻🙃

[@ddayton]

Just for your own personal enjoyment/curiosity, here's Angelina singing Whitney's song "I will always Love You" at 18 months old. The whole video is engrossing, but that short clip starts at 1:53: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvNeGlueculY5o

[@oldwombat3630]

3 boys! What's the food bill like? I think you, like a lot of male fans of Angelina, would give up their right arm to have a little girl or grand daughter like her. No need for a radio or spotify etc, just let her sing all day. Very much enjoy your reactions.

[@ruthleonvelazquez9422]

She perform 4 songs and you could hear how her voice developed. You mist final responds from one of the judges " She sounds like she has drunk Wiskey since she was born".

[@lynettepascua4730]

So sorry about the blocked video, I did get to see it, thankfully. It has to be AGT copyrighting their words, they are so greedy. I don't think Queen did it or Angelina. This was a wonderful reaction, I love Angelina and your reaction I am watching most all of them.

[@stefanopratola6314]

Very good reaction, thank you.👍 If you aren't aware, you can check copyright on the video you intend to post before posting it to avoid be blocked!😉 This can be done with your YT studio, just search for "how to look on youtube about copyright status" to get instructions about it and you'll see if there will be a potential copyright problem; that said, it's not a solution, since copyright is a complex matter and depends on source location (where and who created it), posted location (USA in your case) and viewer(s) location. E.g.: Freemantel posts (AGT) from your country cannot be viewed in any Scandinavian country but they can in e.g. Belgium, where I live.🤔 The best way to avoid copyright problems is to ask the owner the right to use his material and mention it in your posts. 😉 Another example is the famous "All By Myself" that Eric Carmen based on 2nd Piano Concerto of Rachmaninov. Dispite elapsed time, the concerto wasn't fall into the public domain outside USA obliging Eric Carmen to pay copyright fees to Rachmaninov heirs! You can imagine the sums that did not amount to few cents.😳 Copyright problems, could be bypassed by those that are blocked by using a VPN with feature NAT (Network Address Translation - intended as shift and not as convert) to let consider they are looking at the video from another place that the one they are in. Several software are available to do this and if they use opera browser, the VPN is embedded in it. Coming to the video, Yes, it's her mom Sara and about the song itself, Gloomy Sunday, is a jazz song written by an Hungarian artist in 1933 as tribute to all cherished people. It became famous because it was forbidden in all Budapest clubs supposing to push customers to suicide, what composer did in '68; it became a standard during US big depression in '33; Billie Holiday's version was also forbidden @BBC in '41: so it can be called a sad Sunday, indeed. 🤔 One more thing, Gloomy Sunday is not the first performance for NGT, since is the one to go to semi-final; there is another performance to be qualified to enter NGT which is - A cappella Billie Holiday "I'm Fool To Want You", just incredible (no subtitles) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH2slISCasx_pbs

Hola, me ha encantado tu reacción, gracias por los subtítulos, ya que todas las reacciones son en ingles, desde España te sigo, me suscribo, y que decir de angelina jordan, la única cantante que me produce escalofríos con todas las canciones que le he escuchado, una y otra vez, para mí que crea adicción, de nuevo gracias, te sigo👍

[@slippyrules]

I just love 💕 her! I felt the sorrow.

[@graveseeker]

I doubt that Billie sang that well at that age. She's amazing.

[@ktreolo]

Thanks for explaining about Bohemian Rhapsody....I was looking for it. Please post link if you were able to get it back up.

[@vanford3443]

Her mother yes.

[@DonaldLancon]

Since you're "in the pipeline" now, following Angelina's chronological journey, there's no point in recommending videos you will eventually get to. Fortunately, that leaves over 300 other videos to choose from. [grin] In this case, I will point you to a video just recently uploaded to her "Fanclub Mosarz" channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnSdaafZpWYndE This is Angelina backstage at NGT rehearsing before her audition. Notice how the music is not the final edit that they used on the show. (Also, look for the hairpin floating in her hair. =)

[@lilsun724]

thx for the video link. I love the messy hair. I still remember the first time I watched her performance. I was thinking she must be a child from a hippy family. messy hair and bare foot and all. no care for external appearance at all. hahah...

[@ronraskind]

You're a phenomenal analyst, and it is obvious you feel Angelina's emotion. I look forward to more, and you've gained a subscriber.
