VOCAL SINGR REACTS TO ANGELINA JORDAN "GLOOMY SUNDAY" | IS THIS HOW IT ALL STARTED? 😍😍

[@MarkHughson]

The first time the world heard Angelina sing. The world has waited for every new song she releases ever since. To say she is special doesn't go close to describing the effect she has on us every time she sings. “When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to leave. I just want to be on stage" - Angelina Jordan.

[@johnvasi]

You saw her mother wiping away some tears near the end of this song. Someone asked her why she was crying. She said: “that’s when I knew I lost her to the world.” It’s clear that her mother didn’t lose her, but the world has been given an amazing gift.

[@Vixxing21]

Let me copy mister Armstrong! "A small loss for a mother but a big gain for humanity!"

[@summerbreeze-d2l]

I'd cry if I heard my daughter sing like that, for no other reason, than just hearing her sing.

Angelina has the greatest head of hair in music today. 💖

[@lengould9262]

I read somewhere that Angelina's hair was actually styled in a way that was very fashionable for her age in Norway at the time. Named the troll style or similar. Too cute.

[@murtheblur]

If you want the beginning of Angelina, look up I Who Have Nothing - Age 6. This is shot at her schools recording studio. When she hits her first big note, you'll see the Angelina double fist pump. Cuteness overload!!!!!!

Go back earlier, Angelina 6 years old in the studio singing I Who Have Nothing. The power of her voice at that age.. There's a compilation video, a snippet of it shows her singing Whitney Houston at 2 years old..

[@isabellegarza9070]

What amazed me the most is her second audition she sings acapella to a Billie Holiday song. No music to guide her and she sings it beautifully.

[@nfpnone8248]

Actually her grandmother was a child prodigy herself in poetry and art, and she was the one who played jazz around Angelina which inspired Angelina to love jazz. But, her extended family did provide the environment where Angelina could cultivate her passion and artistry. Very unusual in the case of most children whose parents push them, she was allowed to push herself.

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

She is a gift! You said it. You guys have absolutely joined the Angels.

[@markuss7249]

It was her Grandma, Iranian artist Mery Zamani, who introduced her to Jazz and Billy Holiday. She always was inspiration and empowering. She creates her style with her, paintings videos etc. You can see her at the end of this video, when they are leaving. Angelina sang about her in a part her version of "Rehab" where she changed the lyrics. She calls her "her other half" So yes, her family is her "Shield" (original song). And Asia: without having had that, you finally have become such a great person! Be proud! Love&respect!

[@andyschnell58]

Angelina has recently said that if it wasn't for her unconditional love for Billie Holiday, there would not be the Angelina we know today. If Angelina is Billie Holiday's incarnation, then this time she is surrounded by angels instead of demons.

[@poman12ap]

That’s what came to my mind immediately after I heard her singing. I believe in reincarnation

[@rwlewko]

Well said. It's hard to imagine anyone with more blessings than this girl. With her family who was so wise to protect her from the ravages of the music industry until she has a sense of herself, an uncle who has the skill to manage her career, blessed with an almost unnatural sense of confidence, her incredible voice, her perfect pitch, her sense of managing those who she works with... OMG I could go on an on... We are so lucky that we can watch her growth from this tiny, adorable girl into who she is today, an elegant, poised, graceful, beautiful young lady.

Angelina may be a little child , however when she grabs hold of a microphone the little girl is gone and a seasoned professional singing artist is revealed, her whole demeanor says , I am here for business. Angelina seems to know what she is here for and from whence it came, therefore she has no reason to be nervous, no matter what stage she is standing on or how many or who is listening of great importance in the world. Great comments, I like you believe this a rare gift from God for her, giving the instance she created, for that humble soul that resides in her.

Hello you two, wonderful reaction. I sometimes say that my eyes are bigger then my stomach. Well, in these early performances one can clearly hear that Angelinas talent is bigger then her lungs. 😉 She already sings very beautifully, but you can also see that she has a very clear picture in her mind of what she wants the song to sound like, but her little frame can't support those intentions all the way just yet, it is so adorable to watch.😍 A superstar in the making alright...

[@RobertDeMartin]

Guys, that was the official beginning of a career destined to be something like none of us have ever seen before. I've seen this at least 2 or 300 hundred times already and the part that really tugs at my heart is when they show mom backstage looking at Angelina singing on a monitor. Can you begin to imagine what's going through her mind!? She has been quoted as saying she was crying because she knew she was losing her daughter to the world. I can understand that but what I feel is how proud she must of been. You have to believe she was a nervous wreck before she started singing. But, once she was in her comfort zone, Angelina was basically telling mom, "nothing to worry about, I got this!" But, talk about a proud mommy! And, how about grandma in the audience? She was the head cheerleader and i'll bet she was the one who made many of those posters. I did hear what you said, Asia. You can be an inspiration for all those kids who think the deck is stacked against them or, they're not getting the support the need to rely on. Do your thing and don't let anything mess you up. Right, Asia? Hey look. Look what Angelina said in the video at 7 years old. She wanted to be a superstar. She had a dream. Grant you, she's been blessed with a wonderful family but because of her strong desire she got her family to believe in her. If kids can't find that support at home, Asia, what would you recommend they do? Let us know in an upcoming video. I think you can be a great help to some kids struggling out there .

I've watched a lot of your reactions, some I liked, some I didn't, it's probably a generational thing.This performance and your reaction to it is the best thing I've heard on your channel. My mother was a huge fan of Billie Holiday. One of few times I ever saw my mother cry was when Billie Holiday died in 1959.I saw this performance by AJ two or three years ago. She sang with such fearless confidence and style that it brought tears to my eyes,it was truly a sign of things to come.This reaction has prompted me subscribe to your channel....Thank You...

Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on KZbin before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " ✌😎✌💯 *AJ* 💯🎙

We've seen her at kindergarten and her first studio recording at 6. Now she's 15 and she doesn't stop amazing us. Keep reacting to Angelina. She's been the best thing that happened to us fans during this terrible period of lockdown.

[@jamessceeles4397]

Angelina wanted to go on NGT as early as age five; seven years was the youngest opportunity; her mother allowed Angelina's request. Her family is very nurturing of her talents, but also cognizant of childhood. Angelina pushes herself with parental and family support; they encourage with love and it shows. Angelina's humility toward her talent is a testament to her parents, grandparents, other family members, and teachers. I encourage you to go even earlier than age seven. Nice reaction.

And you are right Asia, she is so humble, modest, angelic...she draws in so many people with that inner light that just radiates from her. She has clearly been loved, nurtured, encouraged, and protected by a wonderful family unit...and thank God for her grandma Mary, who exposed her early on to all the great jazz artists that resonated with Angelina. Can't wait for you two to react to her other NGT performances...great job!!

Her voice and amazing skills in music, all from this day some 7 years ago. Her bare feet and the reason for it. Her white dress. And all of these stunning emotional moments of greate music she keeps trowing at us since that day. She tear us up and make us cry out of pure beauty, joy and amusement. She can do no wrong. So thank you for taking this journey. We simply love to see the word and music of Angelina spred ever wider around our world. I hope to see you react even to her other performances in the "Norwegian Talents" show. :-D

[@GrandmaEllen]

What started the public journey. It started much earlier, of course. But this blew me away when I first saw it. Jazz. And Billie Holiday who was known to have introduced new vocal sound to jazz. She is 7 years old at this first audition. And she had been begging to be on the show since 3 years old. She tried at 5, but was too young to apply. I hear you, Asia, about never having had the nurturing Mom and Dad (and involved grandparents). It is part of my fascination with Angelina and her progress. This song was written by a Hungarian composer (?), but made famous by Billie Holliday. (Check Wikipedia). It was known as the suicide song. She's really in touch with that greater reality of which we all are a partl Thank you for checking out how the public journey began. Do the other 3 songs, too, at you convenience. 💜

Angelina Jordan (born Angelina Jordan Astar; 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian child singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent at the age of seven, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online, and led to worldwide press coverage.She went on to win the competition (at eight) with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.

[@jandalan2860]

Angelinas choice of this song is way beyond her years. When one of the judges ask her what this song is about, she answers in a way that a child would do, while the song itself (look up the lyrics) is about a woman that has lost her dear one and think of ending her own life to follow him. Angelinas performance is done without the most disturbing part of the lyrics. A sad song, a really gloomy Sunday, indeed.

[@bik7083]

I read somewhere that Angelina’s mother at that moment when we see her in the video realised that she had ”lost her to the world”. I think in a way she was right, not that she lost her but that she has to share her with the rest of us and for that we can only be grateful. 😊

[@fussballnot]

I think, for Angelina, jazz is like another language, learned from birth. I think she was born with a predisposition to absorb music in its entirety, into a nurturing home of jazz enthusiasts so she was surrounded by love, by stability, and by jazz. The result is nothing short of amazing…her natural leaning towards music was fed by what she heard. That’s why she’s never nervous…jazz and really all singing is just what she does. It’s who she is. Love your videos. I’ve watched 100’s of AJ reaction vids during the pandemic. I really enjoy the rapport you two have…lovely to watch. You’re knowledgeable and comment just the right amount.

I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song.” (Sara, Angie's mom was asked what she thought when she saw her on the screen backstage, (she was wiping her tears when watching) I knew I had just lost my little girl to the world ) The family has always been very close & since that even more protective of her from the entertainment industry’s vultures & hyena's.

[@albertstern1945]

She was actually 7 here but 8 by the time the show was over. One of the judges said they thought it might have been a fluke, then they saw her take charge of the room during rehearsal and knew she was the real deal. Ok next should be her other 3 songs in order on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old. I'm a Fool to Want You, Bang Bang and Summertime. Notice how much she improves in just a couple of months. When you have time she has 3 songs at 6 years old worth seeing.

albert What you're referring to is from an interview with Omer Bhatti, the young male judge. He said that after her performance, the judges were discussing whether she was merely a talented mimic. After they saw her at rehearsal later giving instructions to the musician accompanying her and taking command of the stage, they knew she was a truly genuine talent.

On America's got talent, she said she was three when she wanted to sing for Simon. Four years after she said it at age 7, she appears on Norwieghs Got Talent. And wins! Then 6 yeas after she wins, she makes it on America's got talent, in front of Simon. That is how you set goals and achieve your dreams.

Listen to the other performances from Norway’s got talent. She is so amazing.

[@RedSinter]

U need to hear the rest of the performances... Her Grandmother influenced her with Billy, Ella, Dina... And of course her parents.

[@farhadrazavi8941]

I think she was crying because she knew, she has to share Angelina with the rest of the world

I think you can see her mother, grandmother, and little sister in the front row at the end of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in America's Got Talent. Thanks for your reaction!

AJ auditioned for the show singing I'm a Fool to Want You acapella before singing Gloomy Sunday later. It's even better than Gloomy Sunday. There is also a video of her recording this song for her album.

Fun fact, the first judge is Omer Bhatti, a Norwegian artist that spent a lot of his childhood on Neverland. MJ treated him as a son, and he is still consithered as a part of the family. There was a lot of speculations about him being MJs son, but it was just a rumor, even though they look a lot the same. If you look him up on youtube you will see he have danced a lot with MJ. Her line from there to Quincy Jones and "Heal The World" was in place that already :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3Sclpt7obKBbsU

Omer, who idolized Michael as a child, said he and his parents met the music icon in Tunisia in 1996. They met when Omer did a contest impersonating Michael Jackson in Europe, and Michael saw it and was blown away and got in contact with the family. When Prince was born, Omer's mother was hired to be Prince's nanny and his father was hired as a driver. He went on to live with Jackson at his Neverland Ranch and went on tours with him. He alternated living at Neverland Ranch and Norway. Michael was a father figure and mentor to him, according to Omer.

Angelina Jordan performs acapella on the audition in the semi final

ike It was her second performance and it was the judge's cut. This was actually the quarter-finals.

Asia and BJ, enjoyed this reaction, enjoy all of them, thank you so much for doing them. I don't know if you read comments, especially for old reviews but wanted to say I agree with Asia that the band was a little overpowering on the version pf 'IT'S A MAN'S WORLD" you reviewed. It was after all recorded on a cellphone so...... There is another version, just audio named - It's a Man's World, Live (audio) from Kongsberg Jazz Festival 2018-. It's a very clean version allowing her voice to shine through, and there is a spectacular guitar solo at the end. Well worth a listen I think. Thank you again for the reaction videos, I am addicted! Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

[@davidfinley3597]

Another great reaction! Thank you!
