Vocal Coach REACTS - Angelina Jordan (I put a spell on you)

[@MyBrendel]

She’s from another world

[@jenniferolsson535]

She’s the best

[@richardarceo2376]

Angelina Jordan is the wonderful greatest special, unique ,beautiful god's gifted entertainer that has a very rare talent. Check out her or shall I say her mind blowing covers that would leave you speechless , and the question is HOW ? She 'll be the new and the first QUEEN OF MUSIC .you've seen the best of the best now you are looking at the most very best of the best and from all the rest and the rest is going to be HERSTORY history. BAM !!! that's what I'm talking about .

[@Mister.315]

Impressive here as she always is. But the black and white studio version is actually truly astonishing.

[@kellibuzzard]

Yep.

[@johncryan871]

She's about 7 in that one!

[@edithelizabethmellanunez7396]

Y su interpretación es una obra maestra. Una obra de arte

I see the picture of Frank Sinatra on your wall, did you know he studied Billy Holiday, and that's how he perfected his Phrasing and he also studied and idolized all those great blues and jazz singers and bands (Count Basie) who played in the villiage in NY in the 30s and was friends with many of them. When I saw that, I now see the correlation with Angelina and her love of the same artist. And also, when Frank got a new piece of music, he studied it for hours like it was poetry, every word and how it fit into the whole piece. I believe Angela does this, and you can tell by her covers.

[@williamchristensen4655]

Once you have checked into the Angelina story there is no turning back. She is more than a prodigy she is, IMO, the most gifted female vocalist on the planet today irrespective of age. There are more than 100 tracks for you to react to. All of us have our personal favorites but you will never be disappointed with any of them. Great reaction, welcome to Angelina"s world. Keep those reactions coming you have a long but magical road ahead of you.

[@lucar01inos16]

She was born like that. She's not gifted, SHE is the gift.

[@juliehay]

yes, she is the "gift", I like your two simple sentences which say it all.

[@petercarter3981]

She can make any cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time

[@gregoryrush8290]

You need to see her at age 9 on the black and white version of this song. It's mind blowing!!

[@leechap3]

I actually prefer this version, it's more refined, but both of them are amazing. I find that she really digs deep when she's in front of a live audience.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Lee C i agree. The studio version is clearly amazing but it was not done in one take. This live version is about as close as you will get to that 9 year old version. Ken there are many recordings of this song in KZbin. As she gets older she takes out the growl and stylizes the song more jazzy.

[@brucecumming8803]

@@leechap3 I've noticed that too. She usually steps it up a number of notches when she is performing live. I noticed it with videos of her rehearsals for AGTTC, and other rehearsals.

[@keithfultz3293]

Yes, I think she is better and more expressive with the song at 9 and more interestingly, to check out the Screaming Jay Hawkins original version to which she is paying homage. I have to watch it every day. It might be one of the top jazz performances of all time.

[@katherandefy]

She is insane. Her vocal influences span such a broad spectrum by this point in her songcraft that it’s difficult to fathom just what the heck is GOING ON. And singing to a track is hard as the band can’t bend the music to her. Amazing every time. And the genius is even more apparent when you see her directing style in the studio version sheesh how even is it possible. Still blows my mind.

[@sonjajelinski921]

We call her the girl with a thousand voices. A Vocal Goddess. The list goes on and and on.

[@gwenkruger2779]

Angelina has recently dropped her first official record of her original song with Republic Records which is one of the recordings on her upcoming EP which will be out in June and all tracks will be originals. The one which she has just dropped is "Love Don't Let Me Go" it is absolutely amazing. You are missing out if you don't listen to it. Enjoy your reactions. Blessings from a 76 year old who really loves Angelina. Blessings to you from South Africa.

[@DeasAnimals]

She did this song in a booth at 8! You really need to look for that one! It’s is absolutely incredible

[@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 ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, died, the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!

[@dlblakey62]

welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole :) She's amazing for any age.

[@jonchicoine]

She looks so calm and natural... it's crazy!

[@dmmac1985]

She amazes me everytime and I can't get enough. No one like her.

[@marshallross3373]

You're right. At any age her performance, and her voice would be amazing and great to listen to. But to be a kid and doing this type of thing is absolutely next level and inspiring.

[@briarmaster08]

The more you explore Angelina music the more you'll discover that she is an artist of many voices. She explores various genres including country, classic rock and roll, pop, avant garde symphonic, and (of course) classic jazz. No matter how much you may want to, Angelina cannot be pigeon-holed or categorized. She just turned 14 and there's still unchartered territory for her to maneuver her gift that she was born with.

[@jangunnarrooth]

Yes she's a prodigy. Not only does she have a remarkable voice for her age, she has an ear for subtle jazz elements like the way she'll start a note pure and finish with the most delicate vibrato. I agree on hearing some Amy Winehouse there, as well as Nora Jones, Billie Holliday, even once in a rare while some Ella Fitzgerald. But honestly despite the evidence of these jazz influences, she genuinely has her own style, which is remarkable in someone so young and makes me tremendously excited for what she may achieve in the decades to come.

[@encrypter46]

The black and white version was done when she had JUST turned 9.

[@morthnadic1]

Not just the voice of a generation... a voice of a lifetime. 🔥✌🙂💯💕👏👏👏

[@103mrg]

After watching your first Angelina reaction, I had some reservations. But after watching this one, I'm sold. You got me at "kundalini".

[@ronraskind]

You may be interested to know that Angelina has just signed with Republic Records as their number one priority new artist! She had previous turned down dozens of the biggest people in the industry. This is a huge landmark and we all knew it was coming eventually. This label also has Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Ariana grande, Jonas Brothers and more. We hear that she is signing on her own terms hopefully meaning a good deal of freedom.

[@larsm2001]

I really love when competent people try to compute Angelina, because the math doesn't add up. Awesome reaction, and with regards to this being a totally different voice from the AGT performance, that will happen each time you pick up a new video. I believe that's her most unique quality.

[@gigifontanilla6288]

Put in the search engine Angelina Jordan you are always on my mind. She sings it acapella and is just as incredible. I've been a big fan of hers for 2 yrs. Love her. I think I've seen every video of hers

[@robertcarlson2807]

Ken - Thank you for your outstanding reaction to this Angelina Jordan performance. It is obvious that you are a true professional who understands the technical and artistic aspects of vocal music. After 40+ years as a music educator and jazz musician, I would say to all young singers out there: Don’t try to sing like Angelina until you know how to do it, especially when she belts out in the high register. Take voice lessons and learn everything you can about vocal technique and artistic styling. If you try to do what she does before you know what you are doing, you could severely damage your voice and may never be able to sing again. Angelina has a gift that very few people in history have ever had. All of her physical vocal abilities and sense of musical style came with her at birth and because her family played music all the time as she was growing up. She is a force of nature. You young singers can aspire to sing like her, but don’t push it. We would like to see and hear you on KZbin someday!

[@donjones4719]

Excellent advice, and greatly needed for kids listening to so many talent shows, hearing Courtney Hadwin, etc, who goes all in on the vocal fireworks. Angelina has had voice lessons from an early age, perhaps 5. Attended a formal after school program at something like a performing arts school. Even with her natural talent she couldn't have a voice like this without putting in the work.

[@danieljodrey8863]

Honestly, I find it simply amazing that someone as brilliant musically as yourself hasn't tried to find the B&W version of this song. She is a prodigy. That version was recorded when she was nine. It far surpasses this tamer-for-TV version. It was the first true Masterpiece of her collection. It is a must see, these growls are cub sized next to the lion roars in that one. This is taken from that. I would review that even before you react to 7th Heaven which is #22 of newly dropped singles in the Us as of this minute. I expect it to rise.

[@davidmac2939]

Her first audition on Norways got talent singing gloomy sunday with english subtitles will knock your socks off.

[@McDevittMike]

I'm glad you picked this version. I'd dismissed it because I was so blown away by the black and white. I'd failed to realize how brilliant this live performance was.

[@edwardsullivan5481]

Now at 16 she is leaving all others behind and below as she soars to the top of the music kingdom. Her soon to be released album will be magnificent.

[@robinlewis5518]

You've got to see the black and white version of 'I put a spell on you' live orchestra. 7 years old and absolute incredible performance! I love her, I'm hooked oh and yellow brick road is awesome. Everything she touches is hers.

[@stevenderby2147]

You cannot get a grasp on the vastness of her abilities by this one song alone, or even a couple. She has such a wide range of vocals and genres that it literally requires about 80 songs to begin to get an idea of who and what this prodigy really is. There is a short clip of her singing at 18 months old, in which she takes a microphone, and expertly holds it up to her mouth, and sings, in tune, and in time, and in English (her first language is Norwegian) with Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You', just a single line, and then spreads her arms out, and almost gives us a 'mic drop' moment as if to say 'you ain't seen nothing yet'. And that's where it all began. Jazz roots, but there is no genre that is beyond her. I've heard vocal coaches, such as yourself, say they learn from her every time they listen to her. So, if you're really hooked, and I have no doubt of that, then hang on, because you're in for a ride.

[@oyvindroth]

Welcome onboard! Realms beyond realms will open up for you if you are open and prepared. I am then not necessarily talking about musical technicalities, but channels into chambers of your own soul. Presence. Sincerity. Subtelties. The painting of sound carpets. A sound brush that puts on a line here, a color variation there. All to ease the journey into a soulful universe. Forget about all this talk about her age (although fascinating). The art she performs and the soulfulness she conveys stand for themselves.

[@lauraautry6992]

I have been a super fan since her first video came out. She is a beautiful awesome singer who I enjoy listening too. She writes her own music and the song “Shield is a favorite “. An excellent journey to take watching and listening to Angelina 🎶❤️🎶❤️

[@denniskosty5969]

There is no turning back. There is so much more Angelina to experience.

[@leonardsimmers9158]

You mentioned Shirley Bassay. You should watch her at 6 years old singing I Who Have Nothing. Even at that age you can tell that she is destined for greatness! As long as she stays away from greedy Production Labels. So far, her parents and people around her, are keeping her real. And not letting her go off the deep end. Despite all the wonderful covers. She is learning to write her own songs. Which only bodes well for her, and our future.

[@kathyfrazier474]

You need to listen to her other version of I Got a Spell on you and many more of her recordings like Whitney Houston You are going to be shocked she just turned 16 her voice changes and many different song she can sound different as can be she's incredible

[@RobertDeMartin]

My friend, we should be very happy to be a part of Angelina's world. She has several originals and one, in particular, I think you'll enjoy is SHIELD.

[@jimward204]

Wow. No way. You're correct, it simply does not compute! But there it is in video! And she has a ton more! Another brilliant young singer bursting onto the public scene thanks to the Internet!

[@constitutionislawofthislan6169]

Honestly Ken, ANYTHING she does, needs to be herd. She has an UNLIMITED WHAREHOUSE of talent, and she KNOW'S when and HOW to pull from those endless shelves of her feelings, and ability to portray exact emotions thru her voice to the lucky listener.

[@jollyo9276]

Thank you for reacting to Angelina again. I`m quite happy that you chose this version. I agree thoug with those telling you to view even her studio version of the song, as that one is far beyond incredible and stunning. This live one is totaly impressive though and showing her ability to even manage her version of the song live. The musical track in the video is from her studio version I think. I would also strongly request for you to listen to Angelina`s performances from the "Norvegian Talents" show from 2014, as Angelina was 7 and 8 years old. They are stunning, all 4 of them. Her originals "What is life", "Oslo" and "Shield" are great great songs. So, to get the full picture of what Angelina is all about, I think you should watch examples of her incredible playbook from 6 years old until her AGT performance, as you have already seen. I would love to follow you and learn from your great comments to Angelina`s career so far.

[@joecobb7276]

One of the best things about Angelina Jordan is the fact that she is awakening people today about the great Jazz and other music of the 40s, 50s and 60s like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, etc.

[@duanejohnson6271]

Ken, in my very educated knowledge of Angelina, she is the finest female vocal to live since she was 10. She was a consummate professional at 10. She has her own band, a couple of excellent guitarists. She has arranged her covers and her own music since she was 8. Enjoy everything you are about to hear and learn about this gift. She and Space X are the two things this year that are the best! Engish is her second language of 3. She plays 4 different instuments.

[@McDevittMike]

If you decide to take the trip down Angelina Lane, be prepared to be amazed, constantly, time and time again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime singer we're getting to watch develop .

[@kenscott8966]

Well, you've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most versatile, effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured in artists, genres, or decades). Your excellent and appropriate reaction to this performance is appreciated but realize AJ is holding back on the throttle here compared to the B&W version (which she performed earlier at age 9). Keep your comment about her "different voice used here" dusted off as you will need it again as that is just what she does over and over seemingly without limit. 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. Enjoy the ride!

[@GEGE-bx3fj]

Listen 2 her songs when she was 7 and was competing in Norway’s got Talent .... she won. She sang Bang Bang, Gloomy Sunday, Summertime and a few others. Just insane how well she did back if u think she is that good here.

[@firstandlastname2090]

Great review, Ken! Angela is a dynomite ball of shock and awe, without gimmicks or theatrics. Just focused, exquisitely controlled raw talent. My suggestion for your next AJ reaction? Just pick one and do it, I love them all.

[@anitaherbert1037]

This is why we became addicted. The anticipation every time what will she choose. She controls a full range of texture tonality, range and colour.

[@vanford3443]

The more you hear the more she changes to genre and mood. She’s better than you’ve imagined.

[@kenj1621]

You can't figure it out. She will amaze and baffle you at the same time once you get to see her full range of ability. You have just barely scratched the surface of what she can do. If there is anything that is possible to do with your voice while singing, Angelina can do it and she can do it very well. She vocalizes the song in whatever tone, tenor she feels the song needs.

[@Mr.DamianM]

It is not a stretch to say that Angelina is beyond understanding. But you are welcome to try, and I have subscribed hoping you will take that journey. I have listened to her sing, almost every day, for six years now. Fascination became incredulity, which morphed into wonder, which yielded to disbelief. This girl is no joke, and you nailed it when you said "it's a completely different voice." And you will say it again when you experience her next.

[@williamang7392]

See her on Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7 - even more surprising. There's a black and white video of "I Put A Spell On You" from when she was 9, and it was influenced by the vocal stylings of the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. See the KZbin video of him singing it on the Arsenio Hall Show.

[@joemelnick]

Kevin, thank you for this reaction....I saw her perform this song in a studio setting and was amazed but appreciate seeing another rendition. Angelina is pretty special. Stay safe...

[@davidcochran6291]

I don't know if you saw her rendition of this song a year earlier for when she had just turned 9, but you should at the very least watch that one too. This one is the more obscure rendition, she also does one that is "Live" from South Korea that is pretty spectacular. I can't say one is better that the other, but they all show a growth so they are all worth watching. I think the version everybody wanted you to see was the black and white version when she had just turned 9. It is a different take, it's like this one but on steroids. The easiet way to find it is type in 'her name and put a spell on you' and pick the black and white picture. Well a great reaction, am waiting for more.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thanks for the your second wonderful reaction to this incredible performance, Ken. Angelina in this song is amazing, I'm sorry for the destabilizing effect ... but this is Angelina 🤗 😜 The reaction to this song by Angelina, is a kind of investiture, is the watershed between simple listeners and fans of that girl. This was thought by Angelina as a tribute to Screamin'Jay Hawkins, the original writer and singer of 1956. Certainly not many adults know him, certainly the only little girl of 9 years in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is Angelina.❤️ ❤️ And it's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song 😊 But the video in the black and white version and recorded at 9 old years is absolutely exceptional, even more extreme, you must feel it absolutely 😂 This is a small part of the about 130 of her interpretations, including covers, songs written for her and her originals written between 11 and 12 years old, if they seem enough! “I Put A Spell On You” - Age 9 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU “At Last” - Age 8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmKck4RvfpKHY8k “Every Time We Say Goodbye” - Age 10 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYO2emt-orl7gKM “Feeling Good”- Age 10 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmnOcn9jqKx9rpo “What Is Life” - Age 12 (original song) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeTo2ptgLNqiKM "It's A Man's World" - Age 12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbQaKd9p898gc0 “I Will Always Love You” - Age 11 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m57PZad_dtaKi7s “Shield” - Age 12 (original song) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLXhpWMgMdjrNU “Valerie” - Age 12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaLQe3-hnNBlf80 “Wicked Game” - Age 12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3qkfnlqe6mZrZY "Born To Die" - Age 12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-4XnuZgdqClas&start_radio=1 “Stay” - Age 12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXi2h4OseN5mj8k “Song for A” - Age 13 (song written for her) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCWnpuuhbJgq6M “When We Were Young” - Age 13 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3mqhKanhrSma6s

She did the arrangement for this when she was 9...checkout her black n white video of this even more amazing. And her version of summertime...also she has been writing her own songs one to checkout is "shield". Love from Ireland 💚

[@gomomma6649]

I have seen instrumental prodigies. This is the first time that I have been listening to a young vocal prodigy who has the 100% support of her family who guide her and have made sure that she has a childhood and is well educated. They have not let her sign with the folks who have come calling, folks like Disney. She has composed and written the lyrics for three original songs. She does a lot of her own arrangements. There was a live band accompanying her is this performance. I have been amazed at the respect grown men have for her as they work together and she will make last minute changes. That was one of the clinchers for me--the respect much older musicians/artists have for her.

[@milenivanov5436]

I like your second reaction to our princess of singing. Many Angelina fans always recommend the black and white studio version of this song, but I have to say she did a phenomenal live performances here and in Soul also. I love her live appearances as much as I love the studio version. Many singers and stars can't sing live well, but better not to say names here. This is not the case with Angelina. She has great recording videos and phenomenal live performances. This girl is the best. And let me great the trolls here. Thank you for helping Angelina and the reactor. Byeeeeeee! 🤣😅😂😆🖐🖐🖐

[@Wazziish]

Welcome to the Angelina Jordan KZbin army ;) She is amazing, I don't have the right words to describe it but I love her. She feels like an old soul trapped in a young girl's body. Holy shit I am supporting a lot of armies right now but I love it. Thank you youtube warriors it's all because of you that I found all these amazing new singers. Love from Sweden ;)

[@paulbono2675]

Originally, Angelina got her inspiration for this song from Screamin Jay Hawkins 1956 version. The black & white version other commenters reference in here, shows her singing this, at 9 years of age, with much more growl and attitude, giving homage to Hawkins, the original composer/performer.

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

I happen to think Hawkins' in mild in comparison to Angelina's.

Quoting William Congreve “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”.

She decides to put a spell on him and......... wait, wait, wait, that is not a 50 years old woman. That is Angelina Jordan doing her thing again and owning another song. Brilliant performance. Here is a link to her studio version at 9 years old. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU truly a masterpiece at any age. Thank you for your reaction and keep up the good work.

[@Woerdoxer]

I find this live version much more impressive than the studio version.

[@jerryfoust3860]

You need to see the black & white version when she had just turned 9. Her voice is versatile and she adapts it to the song creatively, putting her own stamp on it.

[@louisegogel7973]

I agree!

[@johnvasi]

Well, you’ll hear this many, many times-you listened to the wrong performance, but Angelina has got the goods. The different voice you heard here from the Bohemian Rhapsody voice is something you need to get used to. Angelina changes the character, style, timbre, and tone of her voice to complement the song and genre of music. She was raised on jazz, and she has a special affinity for the vocal freedom of that type of music, but you will also listen to her absolutely kill vocals with just a simple acoustic accompaniment. It’s hard to recommend what you should listen to next because Angelina will wow you with her ability in so many types of music. But I think you should see and hear something completely different (again) from your first two. Try Stay (a Rihanna cover) or A Million Years Ago (an Adele cover) to hear two of acoustic Angelina’s real strengths: her beautiful, deep, resonant voice and her ability to interpret lyrics better than the original singers-and actually better than anyone I’ve ever heard. She doesn’t perform-she lives the lyrics. You probably don’t want to do a public review (but I wish you did) of the FAMOUS version of I Put a Spell on You that Angelina did when she was nine, but here’s the link. You need to see it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU

[@Masta-Blasta]

Watch the studio version John Linked above ;)

[@JorgeVazquez-ql6gw]

Firstly, I think you are one of the best cover reactors because you know what you are talking about, discovering many voice details, but if you want to be blown away by fearless vocals you should react to what is suggested by johnvasi. Angelina is a musical & voice genius.

[@katherandefy]

This 👆

[@PatStone3]

As I understand I, the black and white version she recorded when she was 9 yrs old is the only one she did when her growl was as pronounced as it is because they told her not to sing it like that because it could damage her vocal cords. So all the other times she has sang this song, it’s been softened down a bit. We therefore are lucky that the one time she sang it that way was actually filmed for posterity and can be enjoyed for future generations.

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

Thanks for this! I'm a big Angelina fan and hadn't seen this performance of hers of this song. Even better than the B&W studio version. Please continue down the AJ road. You won't regret it!

[@dagfinnroesseland2655]

We the fans have had the same experience as you. We could almost not believe it, but we hear it. After a while we recognice her voice and even though we know what to expect there is alvways a WOW ana a how going on. We have learned to love her and her singing For us she is the best singer out there. Big words, but she has something very special.

[@alanlevin167]

The biggest thing about Angelina is her ears........She sings Billie Holiday, she sounds like Billie. She does a version of Summertime, the rasp is right there. Besides just having a great voice, she hears all of the little things that makes the song great. Her first song on Norway's Got Talent was Billie's 'Gloomy Sunday'. She did not get the subject but she got every inflection just right and knocked it out of the park.

[@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!

Angelina has been given a gift 🎁 just in joy it! This time many are all around the world go to kids got talent or the voice kids world wide -

[@sarlina1]

The bw-version is more extreme, but I am really glad you reacted to this one. All others chose the studio version, so it was about time someone found this wonderful live version, and reacted to it. I am glad it came from you, Ken. This version is so underestimated, its incredibly good. I hope your next Angelina reaction will be "Its a mans world", Forsvaret band. It will blow your socks off. Well done, Ken 👍😊

[@everyonesacritic4163]

@Sarlina A Agree with you, great live version, great reaction. Is it this link you referred too? (I'ts a mans world) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbQaKd9p898gc0

[@albertstern1945]

You must see this song in black and white at 9 years old

[@mkw2784]

I agree that performance is mind blowing

[@michinawi22able]

Maybe you shouldn't...is too much!

[@juliehay]

yes, that version is longer, and I like it better because there is no audience

[@juliehay]

she has put a spell on us all

[@ewawajda4049]

Angelina's best version of this song❤❤❤ Thanks.

[@euge54321]

Please! More reactions of Angelina!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@PhilipKnopp]

This performance is mild compared to her version performed a year earlier...thanks for your reaction!

[@danielpierre3161]

Philip Knopp, you’re right, the black & white version is awesome !

[@jasonknotts5001]

Yes, but she's more polished and on point in this version

[@johan.ohgren]

@@jasonknotts5001 raw is more fun..😂✊

[@Spankyth]

From what I've gathered she has always lived in same house as her maternal grandmother.she has been surrounded with a massive catalog of classics,retro, soul,scat,r&b,and motown from her grandmother(persian)

[@petercarter3981]

She makes any Cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time . She is dangerous for any singer as she will make any of their songs better. She is on the road to becoming a legend

[@tomg2946]

Shes the living spirit of Jazz.

[@johnvasi]

I wrote earlier about your reaction, but I decided today to listen to this song again-and then go back to Angelina’s original that she did at age nine. Although both show her talent, in the original version in black and white, she’s working live in a studio with a great bunch of jazz guys. The difference is really noticeable. I thought in this later version she sounded rushed-maybe by the show’s time limits. Working with the band, they were totally in sync, and her sense of timing for this classic was absolutely perfect-delays, slides, and also silences to let the band play. A nine year old totally in command of the room, giving a lesson to anyone who wants to know how to sing jazz. Secondly this later version, you’ll see, is tamed down. I’ve read that her coaches wanted Angelina to not harm her voice with her growls and effects. So, despite what you saw here, the B&W version is actually Angelina unleashed. It is a jaw-dropping performance, with Angelina totally selling the song and showing how a singer can growl and howl in tune and in time with the music. If there were a KZbin performance hall of fame, that video would be right at the top.

[@maritzagarrolopez5558]

I love your surprise because you are a vocal coach and understand what is she doing,she is fantastic and so cautivate by her si ce she was 7, I really love all her covers and her own music.She is my barefoot little angel. Thanks for your reaction.

[@markwilkinson5448]

A real reaction to a vocal prodigy that began demonstrating her singing brain development along with speech as a toddler. Young Mozart was composing and performing piano pieces at 5? Good to see a different version of “spell” from the black and white clip that fans of reaction are used to. As theCharismatic Voice predicted, Angelina sings this song differently every time. This version is guaranteed live, one take and minimal voice processing.

[@carinaejag]

Please react to her audition for Norway's got talent with Gloomy sunday when she was 7 years old. There is a version with english sub titles so you can understand what they say.

[@kariannekleven8292]

Autumn Leaves. Is amazing

[@frostyone1967]

Yep, sit back and enjoy the ride!

[@MdRobin-bv5gv]

She’s so much better than Amy Winehouse! She can outdo Adele on some of her song’s, I found her before she went on AGT and can’t get enough of her singing! Good reaction!

[@suelubin6867]

Watch her at 7 singing gloomy Sunday Billie Holiday.

[@billweekley4077]

I am surprised you found this version as most point to the black & white version done after she had just turned nine probably rehearsed at eight. The song Angelina bases her version on is Jay Hawkins 1956 performance. She rearranged the lyrics and music at eight years old. It’s a much more stylized rendition. You should watch both to see what you are dealing with. Encapsulated history. She was introduced to Jazz by her Grandmother as an infant. You can see her singing Whitney Houston at 18 months. She is scrolling through KZbin at two & three looking for Jazz artists. At three she tells her Mother she wants to sing for Simon Cowell. At four you see her in vintage record shop looking for Jazz records and playing piano. Going on five you see her leading interviewer through her home showing her toys and clothes speaking English. She stops picks up plastic toy guitar and states guitar not good and starts singing Rolling In The Deep. At six see her in sound booth singing Tom Jones “ I Who Have Nothing “ reading lyrics in English. She is now speaking Norwegian, Persian, and English. At seven she auditions for Norway’s Got Talent singing Billie Holidays “Gloomy Sunday “. She then sings three more song’s and wins the show singing “Summertime “. During this time her abilities expand exponentially. She is by now in school and after school is taking voice and singing lessons. Playing the piano, violin, flute. None of this is forced by family she is pressuring them for more. At six she told her Mother she she wanted to sing at the Noble Peace Prize Concert and travels to the Middle East with her Grandmother. You will find the story in the comments. At eight she sang at the Noble Peace Prize Concert along with Aurora. She embarks on charity tour around the world singing in Korea for forty thousand people. Sings in Japanese in Japan. Brazil, United States and Europe. She helps raise over 21 million euros for children charities. At nine she writes a book about encounter with young girl on Middle East trip titled “ Between Two Harts “becoming youngest published author in Norwegian history. There is much more. Dig deeper you will be rewarded.

[@genevapriest6190]

Is the books title "Heart to Heart?"

[@GM8101PHX]

This young lady is simply amazing, it seems nothing she set out to do ends in failure, instead she put her mark on whatever she's done. I was completely convinced when she covered a few of Elvis Presley's songs and I think a couple of Patsy Cline's songs. Keep in mind the two previously mentioned artists were at the top of the music field in the United States and around the world. Both of the names are easily recognized even decades after their passing. Yet this young woman is grounded, still going to school, trying to enjoy her childhood and youth as she should be. Yet she can have an entire stadium full of people at her fingertips in a second's notice. To hear even at age 8 she rearranged music is incredible. In fact the beginning of the black and white I Put A Spell On You she hands the band leader her arrangement of the song, the band leader promptly directs the band in the new arrangement! Any other 8 year old would not yet be mastering the voice much less any instrument or an entire band! I feel enriched having been exposed to her singing and I am 63 and have heard some really good music and artists including Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline. Please do not take my word for it, listen to Angelina, you will be so glad you did!!!

[@wyrmhand]

Do You have links for when she sings in Korea and/or Japan?

[@billweekley4077]

Wyrmhand You can find both on the web. Just type in “ Angelina Jordan Japan “ and then Korea. She also sang in Brazil and another country in the Middle East.

[@juliehay]

my god, that is truly astonishing, not only does her voice take ones breath away, but all her accomplishments, thus far, thankyou for all the information, I have only known about her for 3 days, I stumbled upon her when I was looking for some specific information about Billie Holiday, and there she was.

[@garyswee9061]

This is a good version but as folks have noted, and given you the link, her b/w studio version is even more impressive for a 9 year old. She has learned by here to limit the intensity of her growls, etc. Even if you don't react, you should watch it. There are other links below as well. Summertime, Bang,Bang, Feelin Good, Always on My Mind, Its a Man's World, haha, I can't stop. The fun doesn't stop. Stay on this Angelina journey, everybody's favorite rabbit hole, and you will better understand what she can do. You have heard two "voices" of Angelina-- many more to go! Her ability to put more emotion into emotional songs is spectacular. She out- Adeles Adele. Try A Million Years Ago. All her covers become hers. This is both fun and amazing! She was great for Norway's Got Talent, greater for Bohemian Rhapsody and others, greatest is on the horizon (of course, that's a taste thing, but of all the other singers that reactors are doing-- Dimash, Diana, Daneliya, Grace, Aurora, Courtney..etc. etc. The one whose concert I want to go to, whose music I will buy, is Angelina Jordan. Enjoy!
