Hello, I recommend that you go back to Norway's Got Talent. There is a UA-cam video of all 4 of her performances in the program at the age of 7-8 from the first audition to winning the competition and all of this is worth every moment to understand where she comes from and what music she listens to and likes. Later... highly recommended 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
Amy Winehouse “Back To Black” age 10, then “Bohemian Rhapsody” age 13. She is 18 yrs only today and she recently finished her first Las Vegas Solo Concert at the same venue where Elvis did his Residency.
Loved your reaction! Thanks! Why don’t you just choose a song you really like yourself, and if Angelina has sung it, go for that? I have so many favourites that I now go by: at age 8, at age 9 etc etc, and the list is now just so enormous I could reel off 20 favourites for no 1. (I do so love her 8 yr old “What a Difference a Day Makes”, though!) ❤👣🎶
I'd recommend you do her Bohemian Rhapsody at AGT next. It's amazing, and she confirmed in most of her concerts since 2022 that that rendition has changed her life in many beautiful ways (e.g., it led to her signing with Republic Records a couple month later). Then do either Love Don't Let Me Go, or Now I'm The Fool from her current EP of original songs. Both have music videos. The first was released prior to the rest, and is the most popular one, while the latter is of a more complex nature.
You said she could be in a movie, and she played a singer in a jazz club when she was 9 or 10 in the show Lillehammer and she got to perform for Steven Van Zandt. She has also opened for Norah Jones in Seoul at age 11, Quincy Jones 85th birthday concert in London (all of these videos are on You Tube) and David Foster among many, many others. I have had the pleasure of seeing her live in Portsmouth, NH for her US public headliner debut and both of her Las Vegas shows last February. I also got to meet her and she seems truly sweet and humble. Her live performances are so good that I listen to them as much as possible. As a musician for almost 60 years, I am so impressed with just how good she is live. I have read where she is a one shot artist in the studio; they just don’t have to correct anything she sings. She is so amazing; I am glad you have discovered her.
Lillehammer was also Bruce Springsteens tv-show debut. If you didn't know. There's a short clip of him laeaving on a boat while Angelina is singing. Even if he's still going strong, it's kind of symbolical, since Angelina also is nicknamed the boss.
Terry. I never knew that. That last surprise I got about talent showing up in movies that I didn’t even realize, was Brass Against in the Matrix movie. 2, I believe. Never knew they were the band.
Lauren, thanks for your reaction and analysis. Angelina is a self taught jazz singer but seemingly can sing any genre. She is also a awesome songwriter and arranger. Angelina created her own arrangement for each cover she has sung. She has told us she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed by 13 so far. Here is the list of her originals, along with a few songs she was the first to sing but didn't write. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
@donnaphillips5255 I believe the video you are referring to is her home recording of What Is Life. She was 12 in that performance but first recorded the song at 11 for her album It’s Magic which was released when she was 12. Oslo also appears on that album. It’s not known when she actually wrote the songs.
Wonderful reaction, love listening to Angelina daily. Where to go next??? Where do you start? The beginning? I'm a fool to want you from Norway's Got Talent. More recent, to see how her voice has matured, and her arranging abilities, Suspicious Minds.
I like that you mentioned Angie's imperfections in this song . Brushing her hair back caused her vocals to drop out in that split second and her vocals at the end drop out a bit when the instrumentals at the end take over which is a mixing problem. What she does is such a scary thing that it is beneficial to point out that she is a human being fully capable of human flaws because she can appear very alien to us in her perfection at such an early age.
Several songs at 10 are hallmarks in her early career. Be sure to watch Everytime We Say Goodbye where she stands right next to Ella Fitzgerald. Also I'm Still Holding Out for You a song by Baby Fuzz that he got her to sing first. There's difficult lyrics so the family requests not to release officially but it's a smashing song. One of the absolute best.
I would vote for more live performances than studio ones. The only problem with live performances is the sound and video quality, which can be a bit rough sometimes. "Live on TV" stuff, like this one you just watched, is kind of the best of both worlds - live, one-take performances married with good quality sound and video - but there are great live performances of other types that come highly recommended, like many of her "live at home" covers (as I call them), where she essentially just turned on a camera, recorded a performance, and posted the result. I know you want to get to her more recent stuff (and some of that is best represented by studio tracks, TBH), but I would not like you to skimp on her earlier stuff - especially her 4 performances on _Norway's Got Talent_ [Norske Talenter]. They are, in a word, incredible. And they serve as the only real explanation of how she could be "so good, so young" in the videos you've already seen (namely, that she was already "so good" even younger). And one of her first TV appearances after winning the competition, singing Dinah Washington's "What a Difference a Day Makes" live on _Allsang på Grensen_ [Sing-Along at the Border - not broadcast live], still rates, IMHO, as one of her finest live performances ever (one of many… one of many). I have some playlists on my channel that you might consider using to get "caught up" to her more recent stuff relatively quickly. They are in the first two collections of playlists on my "home" tab ("The Best of Angelina Jordan" and "Angelina Jordan recommendations"). In particular, see "Damn, Girl! - The Best of Angelina Jordan Volume 1" (23 videos covering ages 8 to 17), "Angelina Jordan: just one song per year" (11 vids, 7-17), and "Catch Up with Angelina Jordan (a short chronology)" (36 vids, 7-16). Although I had slightly different criteria in mind when I made those lists, you can just pick one based on how long you want your "first pass" through her catalog to take. And if you want to do her NGT performances all in a row, see my playlist called "React to Angelina Jordan on Norway's Got Talent" (just the 4 vids I would most recommend for that) or "Angelina Jordan on Norske Talenter (Norway's Got Talent)" (16 vids that, collectively, present almost everything she did during her run on the show - read the playlist description so you can choose which videos you want to react to).
Excellent song and performance analysis! Nice to listen to someone who knows about these subjects yet is not so full of themselves. You talked a bit about how she inflects words. With English as her second language and having an understanding of at least 3 others, the one word that stands out to me in every song she sings is “world”. Most people seem to pronounce it as werald/werld. Angelina seems to combine the word would and it comes out as “wuld”. I like it in any case. Thanks and I subscribed for more Angelina!
Absolutely fearless on stage ! It's uncanny to witness a 10-year-old sounding like a seasoned professional on stage with a live band, live audience and also a TV audience of millions. This is what makes it so unbelievable. This girl was born to sing and this is exactly what she does. Sounding so mature adding her Jazz intuitions into the song and finishing with a soulful run. I want to thank you for continuing your wonderful Journey with our beautiful barefoot princess. I hope you keep on going on through the Journey and as all the Angels continue to watch your wonderful station. Keep posting my friend. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
@@tolun99her family is multilingual, they speak four languages. They teach her English since very young age. There's a video when she was 5 and she speaks English fluently.
Great reaction You picked up on something very important about Angelina in how she will change things up from one phrase to another. Another reactor pointed out how in her performance of Bang Bang at 8 years old on Norway’s Got Talent, each “bang bang” is slightly different. This is what separates Angelina from other young singers you see on the talent shows. They usually try to sing as loud and as high as they can to impress. They are good singers but don’t have the details, techniques and storytelling that Angelina has already had at a very young age.
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Please please please watch her official short documentary ANGELINA JORDAN 10 YEARS IN THE MAKING. .. not only has it got her February Vegas footage it has the clip of her singing with a mike as an 18 month old baby. Listening to her speak will contextualise the stories you are told.plus all the songs you dont recognise are most likely snippets of her origionals. Since the documentary shows the past and present watching it will not spoil your journey of discovery. Though it was short notice due to a venue cancellation her fans flew in from around the world and both the matinee and evening show sold out. I am so jealous as tickets are only going to get more expensive and harder to get as time goes by
Can I suggest to you two originals that aren’t of hers? A Song For A (as the musician said it was written for Angelina) and I’m Still Holding Out For You. These two songs show her maturity, versatility and gigantic talent also at age 10, having no one to cover. Enjoy.
The instrumentals for Song For A were recorded in summer 2018, when she was 12. Nico Cartosio later explained that she recorded the vocals later in LA. It was published in 2019, when she was 13. I assume she recorded it in the 2nd half of 2018 when she was 12.
@@most2dot0 Correct.. the song for A was recorded at age 12, does it matter anymore....I think not, her age has long been a topic but irrelevant mostly.
Very enjoyable reaction. Thank you. Too many people feel the need to progress thru the age thing. I'm suggesting you go directly to her 2023" Old Enough" EP and sample that. Then you can decide what type music from her you enjoy hearing. Her concerts (live) tend be many songs she did in her youth plus some newer covers. You might even check out her TT channel her she does a sampling of everything. You can always go back in time if there are specific requests or to satisfy curiosity. But this is like finding a satellite channel you enjoy and investing some time with that. Have fun.
Thank you for another enjoyable reaction video. This was an event held in support of "Plan International", a humanitarian and development organization with the goal of advancing children's rights and equality for girls around the world. "Foster Parents" sponsor needy children around the world with monetary pledges that go directly to helping the specific children whom they sponsored and are able to communicate with them via Plan International. The event was held on December 30, 2016 at Chateau Neuf Center in Oslo and broadcast on TV2. Angelina was one of several performers and delivered a stunning performance. Most of Angelina's performances after winning Norway Got Talent at age 8 were for children charitable organizations. This Amazing young lady with the big voice and bigger heart is 18 years old now and still performs barefoot to remember the shoeless girl that she met when she was 6 years old and to remind us all of the many needy children around the world.
Feeling Good Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE on The Stream Gir Tilbake" At only 10 years old, Angelina Jordan delivered a stunning rendition of "Feeling Good" with a talented band on live television. Her voice was powerful, soulful and expressive, surpassing any other version of this song. How many of us can say we achieved such a feat at that age? This performance is simply incredible and showcases her extraordinary talent. “Feeling Good” was originally written by Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse and its first performer, Cy Grant. The song was written for a 1964 musical. That musical was entitled The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. Nina Simone released her version in June of 1965. It appeared on her album I Put a Spell on You. Although various artists have also covered this song throughout the decades, Simone’s rendition by and large has remained the most popular. Simone’s version of this song was produced by Hal Mooney.
Thank you for a great reaction to our mini jazz queen (only mini in body) this was her arrangement as well and my favourite version of this song , about 4 1/2 years ago I didn't expect a 10 year old would perform my favourite version of a song and then many more at all different ages, so glad you acknowledged her ohmage to the song , That is Angelina a true artist , art comes first , she doesn't show off , only really belts if it meets her vision for the song , feeling has been innate within her since a child, and she is an elite storyteller, she is full of details and subtleties that most miss because now seems every one is obsessed with belting as if that is the bench mark for greatness. She is an old soul , want's to create timeless music/songs with meaningful lyrics, and to spread love and kindness throughout the world , so obviously we are with her every step , our wonderful AJ😊💜👣💎
I highly recommend watching “Every Time We Say Goodbye” whether you do a reaction video to it or not. In my opinion it’s one of her best younger live performances (I believe she was 11) and is criminally underrated. I never see people talking about it but to me she truly embodies an angel in that video. Everything about it, her body language, the way she delivers the song, the gentle breeze, the open sky on the rooftop, the guitar …. brings such peace. It’s very sweet, calming, and you can see how much her technique has developed yet she’s still SO young. Her love for music is very apparent in that video and it also highlights her talent for transferring that feeling of love and peace onto everyone around her. If I remember what I read correctly, she sang that song in reference to leaving Oslo whenever she traveled to LA for work. I’m sure someone will correct me if I got that wrong. But seriously that one is definitely worth watching.
I think the first sign that "we about to pop off" was actually seeing Angelina with a mic in her hand.😄 (I couldn't resist saying that, but actually, surprisingly often she will sing an entire song "in the pocket", as it were, without feeling the need to "go bigger" at any point [see, for example, "Cry Me a River" live at Prøysenfestivalen in 2017, when she was 11]. She has always had that kind of discipline - i.e., to just sing a song the way it should be sung - even years before this performance. It's one of the things that made her stand out so much when she first came to the world's attention on _Norway's Got Talent_ .)
Thanks for the beautiful reaction to this extraordinary performance by Angelina. Her very personal reading of this classic, which she developed on her own in the previous years (?!?), is sensational not only for a 10 year old girl, but also for an adult, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in this very personal way. This girl's natural talent is simply unreal also for the spontaneity and naturalness with which she uses it and that ending is simply unique.💛🧡❤ I'm adding two link of her piano sessions of this song, 2 years before this show (at only 8 years), to also understand how a fantastic young artist works. ua-cam.com/video/nQbyK_frFiw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/QdN2dNS1NzQ/v-deo.html
Check out her NGT performances, all 4 of them; you know right then she's gonna be outstanding. She 7 and 8 there and singing jazz classics, difficult ones. They're simply amazing. 😎
Angelina is a reel fenomen, a very musical person with coulorfull voice and with a great way to deliver the lyrics with the all the right amothens. Just a great musical girl. Everyone can her and see that i guess! 😊👏🤙
Very nice reaction. You're gonna love your journey with Angelina Jordan because she is all about the story, not showing off what she can do with her voice.
Nina Simone's rendition is considered by most to be 'The Gold Standard'. That said, and agreed to, this is to me 'The Platinum Standard' for the song. Her arrangement is magnificent as the orchestra follows the directions she set forth with regard to when specific instruments are to come forth.
The first time I spotted her was in the series LILLYHAMMER. A tiny child in white you could see singing in the jazz club, glimpsed ghrough the moving people but her voice weaves amongst the sad hoodbye scene ....... and I was hooked and started finding everything I could for 9 years.
Thank you, and I really was impressed with your insightful and genuine comments. You may become a true angel! Please continue to generously spread the love and kindness that Angelina exemplifies by providing her equal priority support on your channel.

In addition, please verbally educate your viewers to use those links to like, share, and comment for the artist, and to do the same for you! Your encouragement will lead viewers to the artist's links as well as your valuable information. It is also helpful to link to the artists' social media, and to also suggest that viewers purchase the artist's music from services such as Spotify and iTunes. Each artist provides us so much joy, and reactors have a platform which can help boost UA-cam analytics and exposure for you and all featured artists. Thank you for doing your part to enable Angelina to attain her inspirational goal of spreading love and peace throughout the world. Peace and love.
'Still a baby"who happens to be 6'1". Time to see what she can do today with my favorite original 'Now I'm The Fool' (Official Video) ua-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/v-deo.htmlsi=Skt0c0HSjJDd9F2s off her new EP of 6 new originals which she released last spring. Hold on to your seat. You really haven't seen anything yet. Continue down the Rabbit hole and you will. After that I would go back to her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent. Do each separately and look for subtitles. Please do the whole video as it really paints a picture of where it all started. Also most are blown away at the incredible improvement over the several months of the competition. By the time she did 'What a Difference a Day Makes' at the Allsang Pa Grensen Jazz festival on stage in the middle of a huge audience of fellow Norwegians following NGT and just before she went to the USA where she performed 'Fly Me to the Moon' on The View with Rosie O'Donnell she had displayed the voice she has carried thru to today. By the time she did these her tone was refined and her performances were near flawless. Love the reactions. Beautiful 😊♥👣
Everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks for the reaction to the best female singer in the world nowadays (IMO of course)…👍👏
Why Angelina is so comfortable on stage, in her words “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 go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage"
Her lve performances are spectacular ,she just finished a concert in Vagas she did a cover of Adel's when we were young and it showed her story telling the recording by James Theil really shows her personality
Interesting when reactors new to Angelina point out something as a mistake versus a stylistic choice. A very noticeable example is in ‘I Have Nothing’ when Angelina inserts an extra phrase early; but she repeats the variation in three separate recordings.
Voice of a generation. I love everything she does, but my personal preference is her live performances. She is actually better live than she is in the studio. You have to see her perform "What a Difference a Day Makes" There are three to choose from at ages, 8, 9 and 10. My personal favourite is age 9 on Singapore TV, but they are all fantastic.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from this musical genius, Angelina is known by her fans as the artist with a thousand different styles and voices, she can sing any genre, I’ve seen Angelina live at 12 -16 -17and 18 years old live in concert,Also English is not her first language she is Norwegian 🇳🇴, great reaction thanks 🙏
Thank you for another reaction to Angelina. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me, and I hope you will do many more - there are in excess of 200 from which to choose. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction. There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice. (2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move. (3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus. (4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance. (5) That wonderful crescendo at the end. (6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance (7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand. (8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 4.30 in your reaction video. (9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!" (10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child, who curtseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause. Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
🎉🎉🎉 NORWAY'S GOT TALENT I've attached the link to the audition she made on Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7. Self-taught and learning from the jazz masters, little barefooted Angelina sings a Billie Holiday cover of "Gloomy Sunday." This video includes pre and post-content, all with English subtitles. Of the 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent, I've only found this audition video and her final winning performance of "Summertime" with English subtitles. Here are the 4 performances for your viewing pleasure. If you react to these, please include the pre and post content through the judge's comments. NGT 1 - GLOOMY SUNDAY - Billie Holiday (spotlights Angelina, her audition, with English subtitles) ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.htmlsi=zs2FQv-c0Lu5NtGc NGT 2 - I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU - Billie Holiday ua-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/v-deo.html NGT 3 - BANG, BANG - Nancy Sinatra ua-cam.com/video/3D0e0miMSI0/v-deo.html NGT 4 - SUMMERTIME, Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong (spotlights Angelina, final performance, judges, announcing NGT winner, all with English CC) ua-cam.com/video/zN4kAof1is0/v-deo.html ... if you want to see the earliest performance we have access to, here she is at 6 years old, singing I WHO HAVE NOTHING, covering Ben.

You are correct she has not learned mic placement for 10 years yet… 8 1/2 🤣 She had a mic placed in her crib at 1 1/2, and was actually singing. ☑️👌😎 JP
Lauren, one of Angelina's songs that very few reactors hear is WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES. She sang it at age 8, just after winning NGT. The girl has NO fear. Listen to her entertain over a thousand fans at her home outdoor amphitheater. Incredible!!
I agree. What a Difference a Day Makes, sung in front of a large crowd, is the performance that got me hooked on AJ. There have been many more since!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
When you get around to watching her later original songs you will be pleased to hear her singing each chorus differently! Watch any of her performances, you can’t go wrong!
Okay, just to chip in with a suggestion. This is Angelina in the summer a few months after the tv show (I think Feelin' Good was in Dec of 2016) at an outdoor festival, getting down and wailing. Some Angie stories - When she was a little girl she would set her dolls up as an audience and sing to them, she has said that she can't wait to get on stage and once she gets there she doesn't want to leave, a tutor was working with her on the morning of a concert and asked if she was nervous. She asked him what he meant. He thought the Norwegian girl misunderstood the question in English. Nope, she literally doesn't know what nervous is. Also at age 10 she was in New York for a concert for the rain forest, and walking barefoot in the dark to the stage she stepped on a glue trap for mice and got stuck. There was some panic getting her loose, and her foot was badly bruised .... but she went out and sang. A bit late but out there. She is the singer's singer. I hope you like this, it is from her insane growth spurt period. - ua-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/v-deo.html
Before you leave her younger performances behind, I think you should take a look at her when she was 8 yo performing “What a Difference a Day Makes”. She is outside in a white dress with a red rose hairpiece on her head. This is still my favorite performance of hers. I’ve heard it at least a hundred times. Then you can move up to “Bohemian Rhapsody” at 13 yo. There are so many. I really enjoy your reactions and it’s always so much fun to see new “Angels” find her and be touched by her magical performances. She has changed me in a really nice way.
Thank you Lauren, welcome to 'Angelina's World' enjoy your journey. I've been enjoying her since 2018 and have gone to two live shows and plan on going again.
Actually, Angelina played a nightclub singer in the Netflix series "Lilyhammer" a gangster / comedy series starring Steven Van Zandt (Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen's E-street band), she sang Billie Holiday’s "I'm a fool to want you". She was recommended by Steven. She was eight! ua-cam.com/video/1TkGeO6gWCI/v-deo.html
That side-eye monent with the camera is my favorite for a multitude of reasons. It shows confidence and comfort on stage, and awareness and connection with the audience both in the audience and out in camera land.
My three fav female singers Angelina, Diana Ankudinova and Aurora. I admit, I'm an Aurora addict, i need a daily fix. She is different in every way. Her voice, her songs her performances and her lyrics. What teenager would write a song "Murder Song (54321)"? If you don't know her do try her performances at the Nobel Peace Prize concert about 9 years ago.
Angelina is very comfortable on stage. That is her 2nd home. She is now an 18 year old 10 years veteran who towers over everyone both physically and musically. ❤❤❤❤❤
I love how you look closely at the performance and the elements that make it special - both perfect and imperfect. I hope to see many more reactions to her performances and songs, greetings from Greece.
Yes, you are right....a child absolutely killing this song start to finish... loved your reaction and comments...many of us millions of fans have seen this 100's of times and it never gets old....a fan favorite for sure...glad you caught the little glance and smile into the camera pan...many reactors miss that, she is a 10 year old professional!!! Appreciate your reaction, just do more please with Angelina. ❤❤
Great reaction and new Sub. I suggest Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT Champions 2020 at 13 years old to get a feel of where she is at now. Then where some say it started, I Who have Nothing at 6 years old. Follow with all 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent at 7 and 8, with subtitles. Some reactors do all 4 in 1 reaction and you can see her progression. About 12 minutes. Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool to Want You, My Baby Shot me Down, Summertime.
She's a seasoned life performer over the years with a lot of bands. At her Last Vegas concerts she sang 38 songs with a great band at one evening ❤🎉 And I'm very happy to be at the final summer concert in Norway two years ago 🎉
😊😊May 31 comes Angelina Jordan release of her rendition of "If I Were a Boy" with the writer Toby Gad. They are collaborating on new songs for the upcoming Piano Diaries.
Angelina is the greatest of all time, male or female to my awareness and i am 71 years old. There are over 200 songs done by her both covers and originals, every one of them outstanding in their own way. Watch your subscriptions grow rapidly.
For a "child's" reaction, you have to go back to her four songs done on her first visit to a pro recording studio. Try her I Who Have Nothing at 6 years old.
Great response! I recommend the live performance from July 2022, where she is 16 years old. Cover Mount Everest by Labrinth. Angelina is defacto yodeling in this song. Link: ua-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/v-deo.html

7:50 Angelic(being , or pertaining to an Angel, or in this case, Angela) is as being fromHeaven, the firmament. What are found in the firmament? Stars, which Angelina literally is!Her full name: Angelina Jordan Astar.
no other kid or tenn had ever fan base made of people 4 0r 5 times her age,,,,,hippie generation listen to Angelina from the begining and will always support her
You will want to look up 2 other performances AJ did at 10 years old. Look up the "leaked" version of "IM STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU" which was a demo she did but was never reliesed and also look up the 2 songs back to back at the Allen Walker Coming Home Concert, Allen asked AJ to open his show singing his songs.. she first sang "SING ME TO SLEEP" and right after "Faded" most people would never know that AJ was singing with a very sore throat and a 102 fever when she did this, Allen Walker had told her she didnt have to go on but AJ was determined to perform!!
Hello, I recommend that you go back to Norway's Got Talent. There is a UA-cam video of all 4 of her performances in the program at the age of 7-8 from the first audition to winning the competition and all of this is worth every moment to understand where she comes from and what music she listens to and likes. Later... highly recommended 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
You captured me with the Bo Burnam reference. I subscribed. Thanks for a great reaction to AJ at age 10. Strap in. It's gonna be a wild ride.
Glad you appreciated it
She was in a Netflix movie / series ony 8 years old. "Lillyhammer"
Amy Winehouse “Back To Black” age 10, then “Bohemian Rhapsody” age 13. She is 18 yrs only today and she recently finished her first Las Vegas Solo Concert at the same venue where Elvis did his Residency.
Loved your reaction! Thanks!
Why don’t you just choose a song you really like yourself, and if Angelina has sung it, go for that? I have so many favourites that I now go by: at age 8, at age 9 etc etc, and the list is now just so enormous I could reel off 20 favourites for no 1. (I do so love her 8 yr old “What a Difference a Day Makes”, though!)
❤👣🎶
Every Time We Say Goodbye, Summertime, I Put a Spell on You!
I'd recommend you do her Bohemian Rhapsody at AGT next. It's amazing, and she confirmed in most of her concerts since 2022 that that rendition has changed her life in many beautiful ways (e.g., it led to her signing with Republic Records a couple month later). Then do either Love Don't Let Me Go, or Now I'm The Fool from her current EP of original songs. Both have music videos. The first was released prior to the rest, and is the most popular one, while the latter is of a more complex nature.
You said she could be in a movie, and she played a singer in a jazz club when she was 9 or 10 in the show Lillehammer and she got to perform for Steven Van Zandt. She has also opened for Norah Jones in Seoul at age 11, Quincy Jones 85th birthday concert in London (all of these videos are on You Tube) and David Foster among many, many others. I have had the pleasure of seeing her live in Portsmouth, NH for her US public headliner debut and both of her Las Vegas shows last February. I also got to meet her and she seems truly sweet and humble. Her live performances are so good that I listen to them as much as possible. As a musician for almost 60 years, I am so impressed with just how good she is live. I have read where she is a one shot artist in the studio; they just don’t have to correct anything she sings. She is so amazing; I am glad you have discovered her.
Actually she was 8 when she appeared on Lilyhammer. It was shortly after she won NGT in 2014.
I didn’t realize she was only 8 in Lillehammer. I am interested to see if there will be any acting in her future..
Lillehammer was also Bruce Springsteens tv-show debut. If you didn't know. There's a short clip of him laeaving on a boat while Angelina is singing. Even if he's still going strong, it's kind of symbolical, since Angelina also is nicknamed the boss.
Terry. I never knew that. That last surprise I got about talent showing up in movies that I didn’t even realize, was Brass Against in the Matrix movie. 2, I believe. Never knew they were the band.
Lauren, thanks for your reaction and analysis. Angelina is a self taught jazz singer but seemingly can sing any genre. She is also a awesome songwriter and arranger. Angelina created her own arrangement for each cover she has sung. She has told us she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed by 13 so far. Here is the list of her originals, along with a few songs she was the first to sing but didn't write.
"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
"Oslo" age 11
"Shield" age 12
"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17
"Fire and Rain" age 17
"It's All My Fault" age 17
"Good in Goodbyes" age 17
"Diamond" age 17
"Our Time" age 17
"Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24
Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Andy I may be wrong but on the first video of her Ivan and the blonde haired boy doesn't he say that it is an original composition of 😇 nas?
@@donnaphillips5255 I will look into that. Livestream featuring Angelina going on now. ua-cam.com/users/livec7PG3QeHsVQ?si=JNFHEoh11iHQ7DaK
@donnaphillips5255 I believe the video you are referring to is her home recording of What Is Life. She was 12 in that performance but first recorded the song at 11 for her album It’s Magic which was released when she was 12. Oslo also appears on that album. It’s not known when she actually wrote the songs.
Wonderful reaction, love listening to Angelina daily. Where to go next??? Where do you start? The beginning? I'm a fool to want you from Norway's Got Talent. More recent, to see how her voice has matured, and her arranging abilities, Suspicious Minds.
I like that you mentioned Angie's imperfections in this song . Brushing her hair back caused her vocals to drop out in that split second and her vocals at the end drop out a bit when the instrumentals at the end take over which is a mixing problem. What she does is such a scary thing that it is beneficial to point out that she is a human being fully capable of human flaws because she can appear very alien to us in her perfection at such an early age.
Several songs at 10 are hallmarks in her early career. Be sure to watch Everytime We Say Goodbye where she stands right next to Ella Fitzgerald. Also I'm Still Holding Out for You a song by Baby Fuzz that he got her to sing first. There's difficult lyrics so the family requests not to release officially but it's a smashing song. One of the absolute best.
🎙🥰❤️🔥🇨🇦😇
I would vote for more live performances than studio ones. The only problem with live performances is the sound and video quality, which can be a bit rough sometimes. "Live on TV" stuff, like this one you just watched, is kind of the best of both worlds - live, one-take performances married with good quality sound and video - but there are great live performances of other types that come highly recommended, like many of her "live at home" covers (as I call them), where she essentially just turned on a camera, recorded a performance, and posted the result.
I know you want to get to her more recent stuff (and some of that is best represented by studio tracks, TBH), but I would not like you to skimp on her earlier stuff - especially her 4 performances on _Norway's Got Talent_ [Norske Talenter]. They are, in a word, incredible. And they serve as the only real explanation of how she could be "so good, so young" in the videos you've already seen (namely, that she was already "so good" even younger). And one of her first TV appearances after winning the competition, singing Dinah Washington's "What a Difference a Day Makes" live on _Allsang på Grensen_ [Sing-Along at the Border - not broadcast live], still rates, IMHO, as one of her finest live performances ever (one of many… one of many).
I have some playlists on my channel that you might consider using to get "caught up" to her more recent stuff relatively quickly. They are in the first two collections of playlists on my "home" tab ("The Best of Angelina Jordan" and "Angelina Jordan recommendations"). In particular, see "Damn, Girl! - The Best of Angelina Jordan Volume 1" (23 videos covering ages 8 to 17), "Angelina Jordan: just one song per year" (11 vids, 7-17), and "Catch Up with Angelina Jordan (a short chronology)" (36 vids, 7-16). Although I had slightly different criteria in mind when I made those lists, you can just pick one based on how long you want your "first pass" through her catalog to take. And if you want to do her NGT performances all in a row, see my playlist called "React to Angelina Jordan on Norway's Got Talent" (just the 4 vids I would most recommend for that) or "Angelina Jordan on Norske Talenter (Norway's Got Talent)" (16 vids that, collectively, present almost everything she did during her run on the show - read the playlist description so you can choose which videos you want to react to).
Excellent song and performance analysis! Nice to listen to someone who knows about these subjects yet is not so full of themselves. You talked a bit about how she inflects words. With English as her second language and having an understanding of at least 3 others, the one word that stands out to me in every song she sings is “world”. Most people seem to pronounce it as werald/werld. Angelina seems to combine the word would and it comes out as “wuld”. I like it in any case. Thanks and I subscribed for more Angelina!
🎼🤗👍🏼💞
Absolutely fearless on stage ! It's uncanny to witness a 10-year-old sounding like a seasoned professional on stage with a live band, live audience and also a TV audience of millions. This is what makes it so unbelievable. This girl was born to sing and this is exactly what she does. Sounding so mature adding her Jazz intuitions into the song and finishing with a soulful run. I want to thank you for continuing your wonderful Journey with our beautiful barefoot princess. I hope you keep on going on through the Journey and as all the Angels continue to watch your wonderful station. Keep posting my friend. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
And to do it all in English at her age, which is not her native language. Now, at 18, she is perfectly fluent.
@@tolun99her family is multilingual, they speak four languages. They teach her English since very young age. There's a video when she was 5 and she speaks English fluently.
@@FlyingAngel0638 Good family.
@@tolun99 A family friend has said that her English was so advanced at an early age that it's practically her native tongue.
Great reaction
You picked up on something very important about Angelina in how she will change things up from one phrase to another. Another reactor pointed out how in her performance of Bang Bang at 8 years old on Norway’s Got Talent, each “bang bang” is slightly different. This is what separates Angelina from other young singers you see on the talent shows. They usually try to sing as loud and as high as they can to impress. They are good singers but don’t have the details, techniques and storytelling that Angelina has already had at a very young age.
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Please please please watch her official short documentary ANGELINA JORDAN 10 YEARS IN THE MAKING. .. not only has it got her February Vegas footage it has the clip of her singing with a mike as an 18 month old baby. Listening to her speak will contextualise the stories you are told.plus all the songs you dont recognise are most likely snippets of her origionals. Since the documentary shows the past and present watching it will not spoil your journey of discovery. Though it was short notice due to a venue cancellation her fans flew in from around the world and both the matinee and evening show sold out. I am so jealous as tickets are only going to get more expensive and harder to get as time goes by
She is ten (10) here! You easily forget that, don’t you?
She mentioned Angelina's age several times! STOP acting like you are 8!
Stop acting like an undisciplined child.
Can I suggest to you two originals that aren’t of hers? A Song For A (as the musician said it was written for Angelina) and I’m Still Holding Out For You. These two songs show her maturity, versatility and gigantic talent also at age 10, having no one to cover. Enjoy.
The instrumentals for Song For A were recorded in summer 2018, when she was 12. Nico Cartosio later explained that she recorded the vocals later in LA. It was published in 2019, when she was 13. I assume she recorded it in the 2nd half of 2018 when she was 12.
@@most2dot0 Correct.. the song for A was recorded at age 12, does it matter anymore....I think not, her age has long been a topic but irrelevant mostly.
Very enjoyable reaction. Thank you. Too many people feel the need to progress thru the age thing. I'm suggesting you go directly to her 2023" Old Enough" EP and sample that. Then you can decide what type music from her you enjoy hearing. Her concerts (live) tend be many songs she did in her youth plus some newer covers. You might even check out her TT channel her she does a sampling of everything. You can always go back in time if there are specific requests or to satisfy curiosity. But this is like finding a satellite channel you enjoy and investing some time with that. Have fun.
Thank you for another enjoyable reaction video.
This was an event held in support of "Plan International", a humanitarian and development organization with the goal of advancing children's rights and equality for girls around the world. "Foster Parents" sponsor needy children around the world with monetary pledges that go directly to helping the specific children whom they sponsored and are able to communicate with them via Plan International.
The event was held on December 30, 2016 at Chateau Neuf Center in Oslo and broadcast on TV2.
Angelina was one of several performers and delivered a stunning performance.
Most of Angelina's performances after winning Norway Got Talent at age 8 were for children charitable organizations.
This Amazing young lady with the big voice and bigger heart is 18 years old now and still performs barefoot to remember the shoeless girl that she met when she was 6 years old and to remind us all of the many needy children around the world.
Great Reaction and commentary. She is amazing.
Thanks.
Feeling Good
Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE on The Stream Gir Tilbake" At only 10 years old, Angelina Jordan delivered a stunning rendition of "Feeling Good" with a talented band on live television. Her voice was powerful, soulful and expressive, surpassing any other version of this song. How many of us can say we achieved such a feat at that age? This performance is simply incredible and showcases her extraordinary talent.
“Feeling Good” was originally written by Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse and its first performer, Cy Grant. The song was written for a 1964 musical. That musical was entitled The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. Nina Simone released her version in June of 1965. It appeared on her album I Put a Spell on You. Although various artists have also covered this song throughout the decades, Simone’s rendition by and large has remained the most popular. Simone’s version of this song was produced by Hal Mooney.
Thank you for a great reaction to our mini jazz queen (only mini in body) this was her arrangement as well and my favourite version of this song , about 4 1/2 years ago I didn't expect a 10 year old would perform my favourite version of a song and then many more at all different ages, so glad you acknowledged her ohmage to the song , That is Angelina a true artist , art comes first , she doesn't show off , only really belts if it meets her vision for the song , feeling has been innate within her since a child, and she is an elite storyteller, she is full of details and subtleties that most miss because now seems every one is obsessed with belting as if that is the bench mark for greatness. She is an old soul , want's to create timeless music/songs with meaningful lyrics, and to spread love and kindness throughout the world , so obviously we are with her every step , our wonderful AJ😊💜👣💎
I highly recommend watching “Every Time We Say Goodbye” whether you do a reaction video to it or not. In my opinion it’s one of her best younger live performances (I believe she was 11) and is criminally underrated. I never see people talking about it but to me she truly embodies an angel in that video. Everything about it, her body language, the way she delivers the song, the gentle breeze, the open sky on the rooftop, the guitar …. brings such peace. It’s very sweet, calming, and you can see how much her technique has developed yet she’s still SO young. Her love for music is very apparent in that video and it also highlights her talent for transferring that feeling of love and peace onto everyone around her. If I remember what I read correctly, she sang that song in reference to leaving Oslo whenever she traveled to LA for work. I’m sure someone will correct me if I got that wrong. But seriously that one is definitely worth watching.
Yes!!
@badwaterb She was 10.
If you want to see something recently on Dec.11,2023 she sang Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration in Oslo Norway
I think the first sign that "we about to pop off" was actually seeing Angelina with a mic in her hand.😄
(I couldn't resist saying that, but actually, surprisingly often she will sing an entire song "in the pocket", as it were, without feeling the need to "go bigger" at any point [see, for example, "Cry Me a River" live at Prøysenfestivalen in 2017, when she was 11]. She has always had that kind of discipline - i.e., to just sing a song the way it should be sung - even years before this performance. It's one of the things that made her stand out so much when she first came to the world's attention on _Norway's Got Talent_ .)
Thanks for the beautiful reaction to this extraordinary performance by Angelina. Her very personal reading of this classic, which she developed on her own in the previous years (?!?), is sensational not only for a 10 year old girl, but also for an adult, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in this very personal way. This girl's natural talent is simply unreal also for the spontaneity and naturalness with which she uses it and that ending is simply unique.💛🧡❤
I'm adding two link of her piano sessions of this song, 2 years before this show (at only 8 years), to also understand how a fantastic young artist works.

Check out her NGT performances, all 4 of them; you know right then she's gonna be outstanding. She 7 and 8 there and singing jazz classics, difficult ones. They're simply amazing. 😎
Angelina is a reel fenomen, a very musical person with coulorfull voice and with a great way to deliver the lyrics with the all the right amothens. Just a great musical girl. Everyone can her and see that i guess! 😊👏🤙
Very nice reaction. You're gonna love your journey with Angelina Jordan because she is all about the story, not showing off what she can do with her voice.
Nina Simone's rendition is considered by most to be 'The Gold Standard'. That said, and agreed to, this
is to me 'The Platinum Standard' for the song. Her arrangement is magnificent as the orchestra follows
the directions she set forth with regard to when specific instruments are to come forth.
The first time I spotted her was in the series LILLYHAMMER. A tiny child in white you could see singing in the jazz club, glimpsed ghrough the moving people but her voice weaves amongst the sad hoodbye scene ....... and I was hooked and started finding everything I could for 9 years.
Great reaction 🙂 Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
❤❤❤❤❤... and from Bavaria as well!
Thank you, and I really was impressed with your insightful and genuine comments. You may become a true angel!

'Still a baby"who happens to be 6'1". Time to see what she can do today with my favorite original 'Now I'm The Fool' (Official Video) ua-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/v-deo.htmlsi=Skt0c0HSjJDd9F2s off her new EP of 6 new originals which she released last spring. Hold on to your seat. You really haven't seen anything yet. Continue down the Rabbit hole and you will. After that I would go back to her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent. Do each separately and look for subtitles. Please do the whole video as it really paints a picture of where it all started. Also most are blown away at the incredible improvement over the several months of the competition. By the time she did 'What a Difference a Day Makes' at the Allsang Pa Grensen Jazz festival on stage in the middle of a huge audience of fellow Norwegians following NGT and just before she went to the USA where she performed 'Fly Me to the Moon' on The View with Rosie O'Donnell she had displayed the voice she has carried thru to today. By the time she did these her tone was refined and her performances were near flawless. Love the reactions. Beautiful 😊♥👣
Great suggestion Ole, Now I'm the Fool is also my fav from her recent EP, "Old Enough."
@@keithserafy Thanks Keith. I hope she does do it. 😊♥👣
@@keithserafy Mine three.
There is no one better than Angelina. As soon as you see Angelina do her little hair flip you know she's going to go off.
Everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks for the reaction to the best female singer in the world nowadays (IMO of course)…👍👏
It isn't easy singing with a live band like that!!!
Maybe to set the base, will be good to go back to her performances in Norway got talent 7/8 yo.
Why Angelina is so comfortable on stage, in her words “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 go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage"
Check out her live performance of Princess of Ruins an unreleased new song she performed in Las Vegas on 2/29/24
Her lve performances are spectacular ,she just finished a concert in Vagas she did a cover of Adel's when we were young and it showed her story telling the recording by James Theil really shows her personality
A young girl becoming a legend ❤
Interesting when reactors new to Angelina point out something as a mistake versus a stylistic choice. A very noticeable example is in ‘I Have Nothing’ when Angelina inserts an extra phrase early; but she repeats the variation in three separate recordings.
♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ - 5 for Angelina and same to you 😊
Angelina Jordan, the young living legend! 😊😊
This is her best ever best rendition of this song. At 10 yo.
Fenomeno. Uno dei talenti oggi al mondo.
The best rendition of this song ever !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you
Voice of a generation. I love everything she does, but my personal preference is her live performances. She is actually better live than she is in the studio. You have to see her perform "What a Difference a Day Makes" There are three to choose from at ages, 8, 9 and 10. My personal favourite is age 9 on Singapore TV, but they are all fantastic.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from this musical genius, Angelina is known by her fans as the artist with a thousand different styles and voices, she can sing any genre, I’ve seen Angelina live at 12 -16 -17and 18 years old live in concert,Also English is not her first language she is Norwegian 🇳🇴, great reaction thanks 🙏
Thank you for another reaction to Angelina. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me, and I hope you will do many more - there are in excess of 200 from which to choose. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction.
There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed.
(1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice.
(2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move.
(3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus.
(4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance.
(5) That wonderful crescendo at the end.
(6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance
(7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand.
(8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 4.30 in your reaction video.
(9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!"
(10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child, who curtseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause.
Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different

You are correct she has not learned mic placement for 10 years yet… 8 1/2 🤣 She had a mic placed in her crib at 1 1/2, and was actually singing. ☑️👌😎 JP
Lauren, one of Angelina's songs that very few reactors hear is WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES. She sang it at age 8, just after winning NGT. The girl has NO fear. Listen to her entertain over a thousand fans at her home outdoor amphitheater. Incredible!!
Yeah, that performance is simply not possible to understand. How can an 8 year old sing like that?
This is the first song that I heard Angelina sing, and I was hooked! Age 8 and taking control of the audience! I fell in love then. ❤❤
I agree. What a Difference a Day Makes, sung in front of a large crowd, is the performance that got me hooked on AJ. There have been many more since!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
To see more how comfortable she is on the stage I would suggest it's a man's world (live version)
❤
When you get around to watching her later original songs you will be pleased to hear her singing each chorus differently! Watch any of her performances, you can’t go wrong!
Really enjoyed your technical analysis! Great singer, amazing, just 10 years old!!
Okay, just to chip in with a suggestion. This is Angelina in the summer a few months after the tv show (I think Feelin' Good was in Dec of 2016) at an outdoor festival, getting down and wailing. Some Angie stories - When she was a little girl she would set her dolls up as an audience and sing to them, she has said that she can't wait to get on stage and once she gets there she doesn't want to leave, a tutor was working with her on the morning of a concert and asked if she was nervous. She asked him what he meant. He thought the Norwegian girl misunderstood the question in English. Nope, she literally doesn't know what nervous is. Also at age 10 she was in New York for a concert for the rain forest, and walking barefoot in the dark to the stage she stepped on a glue trap for mice and got stuck. There was some panic getting her loose, and her foot was badly bruised .... but she went out and sang. A bit late but out there. She is the singer's singer. I hope you like this, it is from her insane growth spurt period. - ua-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/v-deo.html
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love the breakdown. You know a thing or two about music, that's good; with knowledge comes appreciation.
Before you leave her younger performances behind, I think you should take a look at her when she was 8 yo performing “What a Difference a Day Makes”. She is outside in a white dress with a red rose hairpiece on her head. This is still my favorite performance of hers. I’ve heard it at least a hundred times. Then you can move up to “Bohemian Rhapsody” at 13 yo. There are so many. I really enjoy your reactions and it’s always so much fun to see new “Angels” find her and be touched by her magical performances. She has changed me in a really nice way.
Thank you! I'll check it out
Thank you Lauren, welcome to 'Angelina's World' enjoy your journey. I've been enjoying her since 2018 and have gone to two live shows and plan on going again.
Actually, Angelina played a nightclub singer in the Netflix series "Lilyhammer" a gangster / comedy series starring Steven Van Zandt (Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen's E-street band), she sang Billie Holiday’s "I'm a fool to want you". She was recommended by Steven. She was eight!
ua-cam.com/video/1TkGeO6gWCI/v-deo.html
That side-eye monent with the camera is my favorite for a multitude of reasons. It shows confidence and comfort on stage, and awareness and connection with the audience both in the audience and out in camera land.
My three fav female singers Angelina, Diana Ankudinova and Aurora. I admit, I'm an Aurora addict, i need a daily fix. She is different in every way. Her voice, her songs her performances and her lyrics. What teenager would write a song "Murder Song (54321)"? If you don't know her do try her performances at the Nobel Peace Prize concert about 9 years ago.
Angelina is very comfortable on stage. That is her 2nd home. She is now an 18 year old 10 years veteran who towers over everyone both physically and musically. ❤❤❤❤❤
😃 Amazing reaction thanks.
I love how you look closely at the performance and the elements that make it special - both perfect and imperfect. I hope to see many more reactions to her performances and songs, greetings from Greece.
Yes, you are right....a child absolutely killing this song start to finish... loved your reaction and comments...many of us millions of fans have seen this 100's of times and it never gets old....a fan favorite for sure...glad you caught the little glance and smile into the camera pan...many reactors miss that, she is a 10 year old professional!!! Appreciate your reaction, just do more please with Angelina. ❤❤
live is the best
Great reaction and new Sub.
I suggest Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT Champions 2020 at 13 years old to get a feel of where she is at now.
Then where some say it started, I Who have Nothing at 6 years old.
Follow with all 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent at 7 and 8, with subtitles.
Some reactors do all 4 in 1 reaction and you can see her progression. About 12 minutes.
Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool to Want You, My Baby Shot me Down, Summertime.
LIVE OR PRODUCED DOESN'T MATTER, THEY'RE BOTH JUST AS GOOD😃
Great reaction thank you to our barefoot princess wild bill angel 😇 since 2016
She's a seasoned life performer over the years with a lot of bands. At her Last Vegas concerts she sang 38 songs with a great band at one evening ❤🎉
And I'm very happy to be at the final summer concert in Norway two years ago 🎉
❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤
Thanks!
😊😊May 31 comes Angelina Jordan release of her rendition of "If I Were a Boy" with the writer Toby Gad. They are collaborating on new songs for the upcoming Piano Diaries.
She had a brief cameo in a movie as a lounge singer. Can't recall the name, but one of the other Angels can tell you the name.❤👣

Subscribed for Angelina!
Angelina is the greatest of all time, male or female to my awareness and i am 71 years old. There are over 200 songs done by her both covers and originals, every one of them outstanding in their own way. Watch your subscriptions grow rapidly.
Angelina is amazing!
For a "child's" reaction, you have to go back to her four songs done on her first visit to a pro recording studio. Try her I Who Have Nothing
at 6 years old.
Great reaction.
But now she is no more kid.
And she is better and better. ❤❤❤
masterclass at 10!
Actually, she has done this every single day for a decade.
What a awesome little kid. So soulful.
You need to hear her sing Adele’s All I Ask and Easy On Me
Great response! I recommend the live performance from July 2022, where she is 16 years old. Cover Mount Everest by Labrinth. Angelina is defacto yodeling in this song. Link: ua-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/v-deo.html

7:50 Angelic(being , or pertaining to an Angel, or in this case, Angela) is as being fromHeaven, the firmament. What are found in the firmament? Stars, which Angelina literally is!Her full name: Angelina Jordan Astar.
I want to hi-light the guitar work being done in that last section. It is pretty spectacular.
no other kid or tenn had ever fan base made of people 4 0r 5 times her age,,,,,hippie generation listen to Angelina from the begining and will always support her
You will want to look up 2 other performances AJ did at 10 years old. Look up the "leaked" version of "IM STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU" which was a demo she did but was never reliesed and also look up the 2 songs back to back at the Allen Walker Coming Home Concert, Allen asked AJ to open his show singing his songs.. she first sang "SING ME TO SLEEP" and right after "Faded" most people would never know that AJ was singing with a very sore throat and a 102 fever when she did this, Allen Walker had told her she didnt have to go on but AJ was determined to perform!!
