This is her arrangement of this song; AJ's arrangement. She is 9 yrs. 2 months at the time of this recording session. Even @ 17 yrs today, sultry is not something that she'd aim for; she is not your average teen... You'll pardon me for saying that AJ has amazing power & breath control, even at this age. This performance by AJ is world class great...
Ric, I'm a little late but "Welcome to the Wonderful World of Angelina Jordan!" You've just listened to a phenomenon for the ages. She performed this at 9 years old and if you replay the beginning of the song you will see her give the musical director notes she had written down suggesting changes she wanted the band to make. I must tell you she had already won Norway's Got Talent which she entered at 7 years old and finished the talent show at 8 years old. She sang Billie Holiday songs and closed with George Gershwin's 'Summertime'. Ric, you are about to go on a journey with her and after hearing this, can you imagine in your wildest dreams what you are in store for? You will discover her versatility and her soulfulness which touches your heart with a voice that defies logic for as young as she is. Ric, THERE'S MORE. You will find out what a beautiful human being she is and, in particular, why she sings barefoot. To fast forward for a second, just a few days ago she performed at the FIFA Awards Show in Paris singing the theme song for the event and the viewing audience was well into the millions. You are coming aboard just before the 'big bang' which will occur as 2023 unfolds. She has been continuing her education and living the life of a 'somewhat' normal teenager but all of that is ending when she commits herself completely to her career. Ric, check out her performances in Norway's Got Talent first and then skip around or proceed chronologically. I will suggest to you not to miss some of her performances when she was 10 because some of them are absolute classics and it is also when the industry took notice of Angelina being much more than an extraordinary child vocalist. The goosebumps, the tearing up (with an urge to cry full out) and the inability to speak intelligently while listening to her sing or just after the performance are the indications that there is something much, much more going on here. I have subbed and will be on the lookout for more Angelina reactions from you. Take care. Nice to have you aboard with all of us around the world.
She just turned 17 she is very awesome. She is basically a musical child prodigy, and you have to listen to the rest of her music to understand that she cannot be duplicated or replicated because her sound is just soulful and it touches your soul and brings out. I don’t know I can’t even describe it. All I know is she feels what she saying and she can pull the emotions straight from your heart.❗
The best singer I have ever heard. Second place is not even close. Yes, by all means, watch Bohemian Rhapsody (at 13) and be blown away by her originality and mesmerizing voice. Angelina is the best you’ve ever heard.
this is actually musical history being scripted by a gloriously talented, amazingly wise , unbelievably generous and kind hearted 9 yr old who needs to live and share our world and our lives forever....
Angelina is a talented Norwegian singer, from the young age of 18 months she was captivated by music, especially jazz. there are several autobiographical videos of her childhood development. From Norway Talent 2014, when she basically started her professional career. she is known primarily for her arrangements / musical, lyrical, stylistic / for her performances.

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! Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A UNIQUE MASTERPEICE*** ❤ 💚 💜 Really enjoyed your reaction!!!
I'm 60 and Angelina has become my all time favorite singer. I know of no one who can emotionally interpret a song and move me like Angelina. You should try her "It'as a Man's World" when she was 12.
Angelina was just turned 9 when this was recorded and she won norways got talent at 7 years old and turned 8 by end of it. She sang Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holliday, Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra and Summertime. This young lady is already a superstar, and she has just turned 17. She raises millions of dollars for childrens charities, feeds the homeless people in los angelos amongst other great things. I look back at my 70 years and i fail miserably compared to this beautiful young human being, how do you stand up?
Not 12 - 9 years old. Won Norway's Got Talent at 7... 13 doing her own unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT, at 16, a phenomenal cover of Suspicious Minds, and now she is 17! A career to watch. 😊
Great, you're familiar with Screamin Jay Hawkins, so you get it. And even then, wow! Hawkins would love this. You actually have to watch it multiple times to allow your mind to make sense of what you see and what you hear from this 9 year old. Like so many of her songs, this is impossibly good. And she arranged this serious jazz piece herself from his his original theatrical piece. Great reaction.
If you want to hear the transformation watch her live concert in Norway this past summer.."Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing - LIVE Concert (Whitney Houston Cover)" What a talent....thanks for the video & happy to hear from someone who actually was familier with the original....
This is just the tip of the iceberg that is Angelina Jordan. She is a talent and genius extrodinaire. She knows exactly what she’s doing. Love watching people awaken to her talent, even after eight years of enjoying her!
She just appeared at the 2022 FIFA annual awards ceremony. So, Republic Records' has decided it is time to introduce her to 300 million viewers around the world.
@@tomrogers1305 I think it originated with a comment referring to a world cup game, as opposed to the world cup awards show. No one noticed the distinction, and then it wild fired from there!
Angelina Jordan in this video is NINE yrs old and she rearranged this song herself as she rearranges every song cover she sings. A real prodigy. Today ANGELina just turned 17 on the 10th of January.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from the barefoot princess, Angelina actually arranges this rendition herself which in itself is amazing as Angelina is 9 years old, and she is the boss commanding the performance, Angelina is paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s , Angelina takes a classic song and makes the song her own, and mostly better than the original, Angelina has around 175 covers and some originals too, she signed with Republic Records at the age of 14 years old, her Uncle is her manager, Angelina’s biggest inspiration is her grandmother who is a talented Iranian artist she introduced Angelina to Jazz and the old great artists, also Angelina’s grandmother is involved with production and is in the studio when Angelina is performing, Angelina the barefoot Angel with a Thousand different styles and voices she can sing any genre, Angelina won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 years old, great reaction thanks 🙏
If you didn't see the video, you would think you were listening to a grown woman singing this song. It's hard to process that this is a 9 year old girl. She has an old soul. Great reaction.
I believe you will soon realize that by finding Angelina, you saved the best for last.. you will also come to realize that she has a very large fan base.
Angelina is a prodigy Norwegian born she started singing at the age of 18 months. She has a heart of gold she has worked diligently and produced millions to help with children's needs and environmental things worldwide all before the age of 16, she gave her shoes to a poor child when she was 5 and was the youngest author in Norway with the story about why she performs without shoes. She has produced over 160 covers of all genres and made them all hers while maintaining recognition and loyalty to the original.

@@ricdreacts One vocal coach reactor was impressed with Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody, and added, “If she arranged it, then she is a genius.” Well, Angelina arranges all her own music.
Angelina Jordan is on her way to becoming a new national superstar. She’s been singing around the world how many stages he got some song herself he sings a lot of covers she sings deep machine thing I lo there’s no music she cannot handle or tackle and do it justice. of age she’s great singer and Storyteller and conveyor of emotions.
Angelina Jordan is 17 years old. She sang yesterday in Paris at the ceremony - FIFA Football Awards 2022. A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. 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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
She was 9 here. Lord wait till you hear fly me to the moon. Summertime, Gloomy Sunday... Wonderful to see her grow . Just a God given talent that cannot be taught. She does all jer own arrangements. Enjoy the rabbit hole cheers
Thanks, Ric - pretty impressive for a 9-yr-old! One of my favorites by Angie... She is now older, of course, and has actually written some of her own music.. but even at this age, the band & producer called her "the boss" b/c she had her own notes & arrangements... I love her young stuff... age 6-7-8 and 10... such a self-possessed and beautiful talent! (p.s. the candle she held at the start had the image of Screamin' Jay)
she also won America’s idol in Norway at the age of seven. She’s been writing on music and doing her own arrangements. She also was saying at the age of one. She loves Billie Holiday a lot of the blues artist, and she basically can sing anything.
"I wasn't expecting that," said every single (hundreds, if not thousands by now) reactor to ever post their reaction to this song. FYI; she is now 17 and is approaching 200 different songs posted on UA-cam and all of the usual social networks. FYI; she just appeared (yesterday) at the FIFA Best of 2022 awards ceremony in Paris, singing their new theme song "We Are the Best" with headliner RedOne.
Great reaction Hoping you keep reacting to AJ, she is now 17, but you will not believe her Norway's got talent auditions, which she won at age 8. She just did an appearance for the FIFA awards in Paris.
What you felt @6:25 is what most of us have felt listening to this little MONSTER. Just SPEECHLES! Nobody can seem to find the right words to describe what they are seeing and hearing.!
Mind blown. Mission accomplished. Check out more. There's lots more. She's 9 here and this was AFTER winning Norway's Got Talent, for which she auditioned at age 7 with a Billie Holliday song. In 2023 Angelina Jordan is 17 years old and..... Grandma Ellen, out.
She's an amazing up and coming artist! You'll be amazed at every song she covers from her very young age til now that's she's 17 yrs old. Please react to her cover of Elvis Presleys Suspicious Minds and Queens Bohemian Rapsody. Also Queens song The Show Must Go On!
Check her history of covers. There is about 200 of them. She also has written 4 songs of her own. And was a published author at a very young age. Angelina is very very talented.
Angelina recorded this when she was 9 years 2 months old. Sooner or later, you're going to need to go back and watch her version of I Who Have Nothing, recorded when she was six. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 7. That's Screamin' Jay Hawkins on the candle she's holding up. You will soon learn that she is always barefoot when she performs. She made a vow to do this when she was younger (yeah, younger) when she was in Iran and saw a little girl weighing people for change. She asked the girl why she was barefoot, and the child explained that her parents had died and that she was the oldest of 5 children and responsible for feeding all of them. She couldn't afford shoes. They were roughly the same size, so Angelina took off her shoes and give them to the girl with the promise that she would always sing barefoot. The little Iranian girl reported that she had wanted to be a doctor, but that was no longer possible. She would, however, pray for Angelina's dream of becoming a singer. When Angelina got home, she wrote a book about the experience, becoming the youngest published author in Norway. She also started a charity to get shoes for children who didn't have any, and she kept her vow to never wear shoes while singing until all children have them. I'm sure you'll get more information from others who know more. I apologize if anything I've said is incorrect; there are others more knowledgeable, but they haven't shown up yet. I did my best.
jeris Yes, you have written mis-information. Please, in the future, if you're going to post a comment, verify your facts; don't rely on rumour, speculation or innuendo, or just something you read in someone else's comment. ....She had turned 7 when she recorded I Who Have Nothing. She won NGT at age 8. After she gave her shoes away, she made some entries in her diary about the experience. These were used in her book that she wrote a few years later. There is no record of her ever making a vow about performing barefooted until all children have them; however, she's been quoted on numerous occasions and talked about her decision to perform shoeless in various interviews always explaining that it acts as a great reminder to her of all the underprivileged in the world.
At the beginning of this vid you see Angelina Jordan pass a note to someone. She arranged all the music and the note was a change for the orchestra. She was 9 here! She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 7! You should check that out as well!!! I love your reaction to this!! Thank you!!!
Yay! You know Screamin'Jay Hawkins!! I love it. She saw his version and fell in love with it. She arranged her own version and off we go! She's 9 years old. She turned 17 January 10th 2023. You can choose from 160 or more covers here on UA-cam and 5 originals. Sprinkled here and there within the covers you'll find some charming interviews. BY the way .. Hawkin's original is on You Tube to be seen! I look forward to seeing you again. She is a wonder and a truly exquisite human being .. humble and generous and deeply kind.
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 on 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 into 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: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
You're one of the first reactors to her that's known the original and could appreciate what she did here. Have fun getting to know her. She's even more amazing now....truly world class.
Great reaction. You just witnessed the finest performance ever recorded by a 9-year-old! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. 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 vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including 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 almost two years ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family decided to wait until she graduates school this year, so she could have a normal childhood. It looks like she is starting to be promoted gradually and it is said her new album will release in the next few months or less. Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals. m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling 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 favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia 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 even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures 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 will not want to escape. Peace and love. ua-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanOfficial Please remember to include in your description the artist Official Channel as well as the original video, if you have not already done so.

@@ricdreacts Yes exactly. She was in her crib, had a fake microphone, and picked it up and started singing to Whitney Houston which was playing in the background. The craziest thing I've ever seen! I will get you a link. Start at 1 minute 50 seconds. ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html
@@ricdreacts No exaggeration. This is the link to Angelina starting at age 18 months, singing two phrases to Whitney Houston’s ‘I’ll Always Love You’ when most children are uttering their first words (someone heard a quote from her mother that much more was sung as she ran to get her phone to record): m.UA-cam.com/watch?v=VJjG68Dfr-8&t=115 1:53 to 2:10 (this is a very brief 15 second home video in the middle of a longer TV interview)
I'm 71 and I fell in love with this girl when I heard Angelina sing this song 4 years ago ! Angelina is 9 years old in this video ! Only 175 covers and originals to go ! She is the real deal ! Fearless ,humble ,sincere and compassionate is who Angelina is ! Enjoy the journey that millions are doing ! She is now 17 and about to debut her first album this year ! Keep posting my friend and much thanks from Canada ! 👍🇨🇦❤️
From Arizona, a 73 year old musician, and I feel the same. This performance at age 9 was phenomenal. Love her originals at 16,17. I try to listen to her every day. It's good for the soul!
Reactions like yours are the highlights of my day. These first time ever hearing Angelina sing plus this song always makes me laugh. The same scenario as when I stumbled upon this little girl with such a big voice. I lost it that night. Fell in love with her voice and went completely under her spell. Great reaction and I was going to say I hope you keep reacting to Angelina but I just saw the thumbnail for your NGT reaction so I guess I will be checking that out next.
I discovered Angelina over 4 years ago & can't stop listening to her. Now at 17 she is my favorite singer of all time. Liked & subed for more Angelina reactions.
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
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. ♥👣👸🏻 What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
In subsequent performances she dialed back on the harsh tones. Think this was her "show you" intro, but was probably counseled to take it easy on her pipes for the sake of her future. Diana and Dimash (and a few others) are world class singers. Angelina is one of the best if not the best generational musician in the universe: singer, arranger, composer, and humanitarian. New subscriber. Hope to see you again
She's flown under the radar for most people as she's just finishing up highschool this year. She signed with Republic when she was 14 and they agreed not to promote her until she finished school. Well, its almost launch time. Until then, she has put out loads of material on youtube for you to check out. Enjoy this wonder of nature, my friend. I have a feeling she'll find a way into your heart...
And that..... is how the song was meant to be sung! Really enjoyed your reaction, the disbelief on your face was priceless! Best of all, there is a lot more where that came from. Hope to see lots more Angelina with you soon!
Some reactors are so impressed they react to Angelina every week. One reactor posts an Angelina reaction daily. Angelina has enough videos online to post daily for half a year. Hope you were as impressed as you appeared and will see you again soon.
Angelina Jordan was 9yrs old magical voice of any genre
It's 3/11/23 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen.
This is her arrangement of this song; AJ's arrangement.
She is 9 yrs. 2 months at the time of this recording session.
Even @ 17 yrs today, sultry is not something that she'd aim for; she is not your average teen...
You'll pardon me for saying that AJ has amazing power & breath control, even at this age. This performance by AJ is world class great...
9yrs. 2mo. Old! 😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯
Ric, I'm a little late but "Welcome to the Wonderful World of Angelina Jordan!" You've just listened to a phenomenon for the ages. She performed this at 9 years old and if you replay the beginning of the song you will see her give the musical director notes she had written down suggesting changes she wanted the band to make.
I must tell you she had already won Norway's Got Talent which she entered at 7 years old and finished the talent show at 8 years old. She sang Billie Holiday songs and closed with George Gershwin's 'Summertime'. Ric, you are about to go on a journey with her and after hearing this, can you imagine in your wildest dreams what you are in store for? You will discover her versatility and her soulfulness which touches your heart with a voice that defies logic for as young as she is. Ric, THERE'S MORE. You will find out what a beautiful human being she is and, in particular, why she sings barefoot. To fast forward for a second, just a few days ago she performed at the FIFA Awards Show in Paris singing the theme song for the event and the viewing audience was well into the millions. You are coming aboard just before the 'big bang' which will occur as 2023 unfolds. She has been continuing her education and living the life of a 'somewhat' normal teenager but all of that is ending when she commits herself completely to her career.
Ric, check out her performances in Norway's Got Talent first and then skip around or proceed chronologically. I will suggest to you not to miss some of her performances when she was 10 because some of them are absolute classics and it is also when the industry took notice of Angelina being much more than an extraordinary child vocalist. The goosebumps, the tearing up (with an urge to cry full out) and the inability to speak intelligently while listening to her sing or just after the performance are the indications that there is something much, much more going on here. I have subbed and will be on the lookout for more Angelina reactions from you. Take care. Nice to have you aboard with all of us around the world.
If you saw her, you'd never forget her.
She just turned 17 she is very awesome. She is basically a musical child prodigy, and you have to listen to the rest of her music to understand that she cannot be duplicated or replicated because her sound is just soulful and it touches your soul and brings out. I don’t know I can’t even describe it. All I know is she feels what she saying and she can pull the emotions straight from your heart.❗
Love Angelina
The best singer I have ever heard. Second place is not even close. Yes, by all means, watch Bohemian Rhapsody (at 13) and be blown away by her originality and mesmerizing voice. Angelina is the best you’ve ever heard.
Absolutely insane performance by a 9 year old 🔥😳❤️ Angelina Jordan Astar is awesome and amazing ❤️
this is actually musical history being scripted by a gloriously talented, amazingly wise , unbelievably generous and kind hearted 9 yr old who needs to live and share our world and our lives forever....
Angelina is a talented Norwegian singer, from the young age of 18 months she was captivated by music, especially jazz. there are several autobiographical videos of her childhood development. From Norway Talent 2014, when she basically started her professional career. she is known primarily for her arrangements / musical, lyrical, stylistic / for her performances. She is our "Barefoot Princess with a Thousand Voices" - she does not avoid any genre and has been writing her own lyrics and compositions since the age of 12 - she plays piano, guitar, flute and violin. After NGT 2014, she performed all over the world, concerts from 2015 to 2018, singing also in Japanese.
after Am GT 2020, she has already noticeably improved her skills and is now starting to be recognized as a global celebrity. Despite all the popularity, she maintains respect and humility for everything that helped her build her career. That's why he has so many fans all over the world.

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! Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A UNIQUE MASTERPEICE*** ❤ 💚 💜 Really enjoyed your reaction!!!
I'm 60 and Angelina has become my all time favorite singer. I know of no one who can emotionally interpret a song and move me like Angelina. You should try her "It'as a Man's World" when she was 12.
Angelina is the Queen of Jazz Angels. She won Norway’s Got Talent when she was 7. She just turned 17.
Won NGT at age 8.
Thank you so much for sharing Angelina with us!!
Angelina was just turned 9 when this was recorded and she won norways got talent at 7 years old and turned 8 by end of it. She sang Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holliday, Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra and Summertime. This young lady is already a superstar, and she has just turned 17. She raises millions of dollars for childrens charities, feeds the homeless people in los angelos amongst other great things. I look back at my 70 years and i fail miserably compared to this beautiful young human being, how do you stand up?
Not 12 - 9 years old. Won Norway's Got Talent at 7... 13 doing her own unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT, at 16, a phenomenal cover of Suspicious Minds, and now she is 17! A career to watch. 😊
Great, you're familiar with Screamin Jay Hawkins, so you get it. And even then, wow! Hawkins would love this. You actually have to watch it multiple times to allow your mind to make sense of what you see and what you hear from this 9 year old. Like so many of her songs, this is impossibly good. And she arranged this serious jazz piece herself from his his original theatrical piece. Great reaction.
AJ is awesome, she has sooo many wonderful covers and originals, and she is 9 in this vid
MIND BLOWN!!!!
Totally Loved your Reaction, felt the same when I first found it.
If you want to hear the transformation watch her live concert in Norway this past summer.."Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing - LIVE Concert (Whitney Houston Cover)" What a talent....thanks for the video & happy to hear from someone who actually was familier with the original....
You're going to love her singing
This is just the tip of the iceberg that is Angelina Jordan. She is a talent and genius extrodinaire. She knows exactly what she’s doing. Love watching people awaken to her talent, even after eight years of enjoying her!
She just appeared at the 2022 FIFA annual awards ceremony. So, Republic Records' has decided it is time to introduce her to 300 million viewers around the world.
tom I see on her videos everyone commenting about 300 million viewers. The broadcast/streaming didn't even come close to that number. Check it out.
Doesn't surprise me. That number seemed wildly optometric & I didn't verify. Thanks
@@tomrogers1305 I think it originated with a comment referring to a world cup game, as opposed to the world cup awards show. No one noticed the distinction, and then it wild fired from there!
Angelina Jordan in this video is NINE yrs old and she rearranged this song herself as she rearranges every song cover she sings. A real prodigy. Today ANGELina just turned 17 on the 10th of January.
Welcome to AJ’s world you are under her spell now…the next big thing in music since MJ for sure.
Welcome to Angelina fans❣️🤗 I love your reaction 💖
She came in 6th place on AGT,,, by design. She signed to Republic as a priority artist.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from the barefoot princess, Angelina actually arranges this rendition herself which in itself is amazing as Angelina is 9 years old, and she is the boss commanding the performance, Angelina is paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s , Angelina takes a classic song and makes the song her own, and mostly better than the original, Angelina has around 175 covers and some originals too, she signed with Republic Records at the age of 14 years old, her Uncle is her manager, Angelina’s biggest inspiration is her grandmother who is a talented Iranian artist she introduced Angelina to Jazz and the old great artists, also Angelina’s grandmother is involved with production and is in the studio when Angelina is performing, Angelina the barefoot Angel with a Thousand different styles and voices she can sing any genre, Angelina won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 years old, great reaction thanks 🙏
About 5 days ago she sang at the FIFA AWARDS in Paris which was broadcast to over 300,000,000 viewers.
Great reaction and she was 9 here and is now 17, making her Main Stream Debut at the FIFA Awards singing, "We Are The Best", God Bless!
If you didn't see the video, you would think you were listening to a grown woman singing this song. It's hard to process that this is a 9 year old girl.
She has an old soul.
Great reaction.
I believe you will soon realize that by finding Angelina, you saved the best for last.. you will also come to realize that she has a very large fan base.
See her debut in Norway got talent, when she was 7 year old...
That's unbelievable.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina.

Angelina is a prodigy Norwegian born she started singing at the age of 18 months. She has a heart of gold she has worked diligently and produced millions to help with children's needs and environmental things worldwide all before the age of 16, she gave her shoes to a poor child when she was 5 and was the youngest author in Norway with the story about why she performs without shoes.

Once in a generation voice & so much talent at such a young age
It never gets old to watch someone who has not experienced the phenomenal Angelina Jordan
The skill set this little 9-year old girl puts on display is unbelievable. This is my all-time favourite version of this crazy song. 😎

😮😯😲
@@ricdreacts One vocal coach reactor was impressed with Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody, and added, “If she arranged it, then she is a genius.” Well, Angelina arranges all her own music.
This is a hard song for a little girl.
Angelina-hold my apple juice
And it's HER arrangement!!!
Thank you for your reaction. She is only 9 yo in the video and arranged the song by her self. She is 17 now.
Angelina Jordan is on her way to becoming a new national superstar. She’s been singing around the world how many stages he got some song herself he sings a lot of covers she sings deep machine thing I lo there’s no music she cannot handle or tackle and do it justice. of age she’s great singer and Storyteller and conveyor of emotions.
Angelina Jordan is 17 years old. She sang yesterday in Paris at the ceremony - FIFA Football Awards 2022.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
She was 9 here. Lord wait till you hear fly me to the moon. Summertime, Gloomy Sunday... Wonderful to see her grow . Just a God given talent that cannot be taught. She does all jer own arrangements.
Enjoy the rabbit hole cheers
What a difference a day made
She is just from another planet. Enjoy your journey
Thanks, Ric - pretty impressive for a 9-yr-old! One of my favorites by Angie... She is now older, of course, and has actually written some of her own music.. but even at this age, the band & producer called her "the boss" b/c she had her own notes & arrangements... I love her young stuff... age 6-7-8 and 10... such a self-possessed and beautiful talent! (p.s. the candle she held at the start had the image of Screamin' Jay)
I've seen this several times and just love it.
You simply reacted to a 9-year-old Alien...name Angelina..if you continue, get the handkerchiefs and amazement..best wishes from Italy...Massimo
she also won America’s idol in Norway at the age of seven. She’s been writing on music and doing her own arrangements. She also was saying at the age of one. She loves Billie Holiday a lot of the blues artist, and she basically can sing anything.
"I wasn't expecting that," said every single (hundreds, if not thousands by now) reactor to ever post their reaction to this song. FYI; she is now 17 and is approaching 200 different songs posted on UA-cam and all of the usual social networks.
FYI; she just appeared (yesterday) at the FIFA Best of 2022 awards ceremony in Paris, singing their new theme song "We Are the Best" with headliner RedOne.
Yes, just keep holding your head in disbelief ❤
Great reaction
Hoping you keep reacting to AJ, she is now 17, but you will not believe her Norway's got talent auditions, which she won at age 8. She just did an appearance for the FIFA awards in Paris.
What you felt @6:25 is what most of us have felt listening to this little MONSTER.
Just SPEECHLES!
Nobody can seem to find the right words to describe what they are seeing and hearing.!
Mind blown. Mission accomplished. Check out more. There's lots more. She's 9 here and this was AFTER winning Norway's Got Talent, for which she auditioned at age 7 with a Billie Holliday song. In 2023 Angelina Jordan is 17 years old and..... Grandma Ellen, out.
She's an amazing up and coming artist! You'll be amazed at every song she covers from her very young age til now that's she's 17 yrs old. Please react to her cover of Elvis Presleys Suspicious Minds and Queens Bohemian Rapsody. Also Queens song The Show Must Go On!
First time I heard her, it was this performance and it challenged my beliefs about what is possible.
You have met the musical Chameleon 😂🥰 you are in for an amazing ride. She is an extremly good artist and a beautyful young lady ❤️
Angelina Jordan was 8 years old when she sang I put a spell on you
Check her history of covers. There is about 200 of them. She also has written 4 songs of her own. And was a published author at a very young age. Angelina is very very talented.
Angelina recorded this when she was 9 years 2 months old. Sooner or later, you're going to need to go back and watch her version of I Who Have Nothing, recorded when she was six. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 7. That's Screamin' Jay Hawkins on the candle she's holding up. You will soon learn that she is always barefoot when she performs. She made a vow to do this when she was younger (yeah, younger) when she was in Iran and saw a little girl weighing people for change. She asked the girl why she was barefoot, and the child explained that her parents had died and that she was the oldest of 5 children and responsible for feeding all of them. She couldn't afford shoes. They were roughly the same size, so Angelina took off her shoes and give them to the girl with the promise that she would always sing barefoot. The little Iranian girl reported that she had wanted to be a doctor, but that was no longer possible. She would, however, pray for Angelina's dream of becoming a singer. When Angelina got home, she wrote a book about the experience, becoming the youngest published author in Norway. She also started a charity to get shoes for children who didn't have any, and she kept her vow to never wear shoes while singing until all children have them. I'm sure you'll get more information from others who know more. I apologize if anything I've said is incorrect; there are others more knowledgeable, but they haven't shown up yet. I did my best.
That's awesome!
jeris Yes, you have written mis-information. Please, in the future, if you're going to post a comment, verify your facts; don't rely on rumour, speculation or innuendo, or just something you read in someone else's comment. ....She had turned 7 when she recorded I Who Have Nothing. She won NGT at age 8. After she gave her shoes away, she made some entries in her diary about the experience. These were used in her book that she wrote a few years later. There is no record of her ever making a vow about performing barefooted until all children have them; however, she's been quoted on numerous occasions and talked about her decision to perform shoeless in various interviews always explaining that it acts as a great reminder to her of all the underprivileged in the world.
Please ignore 103mrg. They are just a bully that never post anything unless they feel you nay hve done it wrong. They are nothing nut a Bully.
Where can I find a video of her singing when she was six years old? Thank you !
@@stephaniebondy8720 Just search UA-cam for Angelina Jordan 'I Who Have Nothing' aged 6 ... R (Australia)
Congrats, you just discovered the most astonishing voice of the century...!
At the beginning of this vid you see Angelina Jordan pass a note to someone. She arranged all the music and the note was a change for the orchestra. She was 9 here! She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 7! You should check that out as well!!!
I love your reaction to this!! Thank you!!!
Don't be afraid of this rabbit hole
Yay! You know Screamin'Jay Hawkins!! I love it. She saw his version and fell in love with it. She arranged her own version and off we go!
She's 9 years old.
She turned 17 January 10th 2023. You can choose from 160 or more covers here on UA-cam and 5 originals. Sprinkled here and there within the covers you'll find some charming interviews.
BY the way .. Hawkin's original is on You Tube to be seen!
I look forward to seeing you again. She is a wonder and a truly exquisite human being .. humble and generous and deeply kind.
next should be Bohemian Rhapsody from AGT. A MUST!!!!!!
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 on 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 into 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: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
You're one of the first reactors to her that's known the original and could appreciate what she did here. Have fun getting to know her. She's even more amazing now....truly world class.
Her Bohemian Rhapsody performance on AGT is a must see 👍 Its the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️
Kent I laughed when he couldn't recall whether he had seen that performance! What music lover could ever forget it?
@@103mrg Yeah, if he had seen it, he had not forget it. He will know when he hear it ❤️
Please enjoy more angelina. Try Suspicious Minds.
you should be warned for this amazing tribute to screaming j hawkings,that good,9years old,welcome to Angelinas magical music world
She’s got supernova dna!!! That was fun to watch!
Great reaction. You just witnessed the finest performance ever recorded by a 9-year-old!
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. 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 vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including 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 almost two years ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family decided to wait until she graduates school this year, so she could have a normal childhood. It looks like she is starting to be promoted gradually and it is said her new album will release in the next few months or less.
Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling 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 favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia 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 even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures 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 will not want to escape. Peace and love.

One and a half?!?!
@@ricdreacts Yes exactly. She was in her crib, had a fake microphone, and picked it up and started singing to Whitney Houston which was playing in the background. The craziest thing I've ever seen! I will get you a link. Start at 1 minute 50 seconds.
ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html
@@ricdreacts No exaggeration. This is the link to Angelina starting at age 18 months, singing two phrases to Whitney Houston’s ‘I’ll Always Love You’ when most children are uttering their first words (someone heard a quote from her mother that much more was sung as she ran to get her phone to record): m.UA-cam.com/watch?v=VJjG68Dfr-8&t=115 1:53 to 2:10 (this is a very brief 15 second home video in the middle of a longer TV interview)
@@ronraskind I suspect it was a karaoke mic. Copy my link for later use. It jumps directly to the point when baby AJ sings.
@@dojoswitzer Thanks. I could never really see what type of Mike it was
Real musical Dynamite !!!
Nine years old when she sang, I put a spell on you. Original singer was screaming. Jay Hawkins in 1956.
I'm 71 and I fell in love with this girl when I heard Angelina sing this song 4 years ago ! Angelina is 9 years old in this video ! Only 175 covers and originals to go ! She is the real deal ! Fearless ,humble ,sincere and compassionate is who Angelina is ! Enjoy the journey that millions are doing ! She is now 17 and about to debut her first album this year ! Keep posting my friend and much thanks from Canada ! 👍🇨🇦❤️
I'm 74:and feel the same
Also from Canada
From Arizona, a 73 year old musician, and I feel the same. This performance at age 9 was phenomenal. Love her originals at 16,17. I try to listen to her every day. It's good for the soul!
Reactions like yours are the highlights of my day. These first time ever hearing Angelina sing plus this song always makes me laugh. The same scenario as when I stumbled upon this little girl with such a big voice. I lost it that night. Fell in love with her voice and went completely under her spell.
Great reaction and I was going to say I hope you keep reacting to Angelina but I just saw the thumbnail for your NGT reaction so I guess I will be checking that out next.
Unbelievable, right😃
Feeling good
I can't believe you've just heard her. I've been following her since she was 7!!
If you saw her on AGT, i'm sure you'd remember her performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's unforgettable.
I enjoyed her performance of Yellow Brick Road even more.
It was on your screen. Here is the link to AGT Bohemian Rhapsody: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html

What I was thinking as well hahaha
She is supernatural … hard to believe she’s from this world 😍❤️love her !
Great reaction Ric..informative comments and kudos for knowing the original. Easy sub. Her own arrangement btw..the band refer to her as “The Boss” 😁
I discovered Angelina over 4 years ago & can't stop listening to her. Now at 17 she is my favorite singer of all time. Liked & subed for more Angelina reactions.
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
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. ♥👣👸🏻
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
In subsequent performances she dialed back on the harsh tones. Think this was her "show you" intro, but was probably counseled to take it easy on her pipes for the sake of her future. Diana and Dimash (and a few others) are world class singers. Angelina is one of the best if not the best generational musician in the universe: singer, arranger, composer, and humanitarian. New subscriber. Hope to see you again
She's flown under the radar for most people as she's just finishing up highschool this year. She signed with Republic when she was 14 and they agreed not to promote her until she finished school. Well, its almost launch time. Until then, she has put out loads of material on youtube for you to check out. Enjoy this wonder of nature, my friend. I have a feeling she'll find a way into your heart...
Listen to her in Norway got talent at 7
And that..... is how the song was meant to be sung! Really enjoyed your reaction, the disbelief on your face was priceless! Best of all, there is a lot more where that came from. Hope to see lots more Angelina with you soon!
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole...she is amazing
Some reactors are so impressed they react to Angelina every week. One reactor posts an Angelina reaction daily. Angelina has enough videos online to post daily for half a year. Hope you were as impressed as you appeared and will see you again soon.
