SalvoG welcome into Angelina Jordan magical world of music. What kind of music she sings? She sings every kind, all genres with thousand voices but always with a jazzy something in her voice. She’s now 17 and one of the best female vocalist on the planet.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" To give you a better idea of who she is, she is on video singing lines from a Whitney Houston song in bed with a microphone at 1.5 years old. I'm glad you read about her before listening to this because you already knew she was special. As you continue to listen to more of her you will realize her vocal and artistic attributes defy logic. But what is even more exciting is you will find 'who she is' and your heart will let you know how it feels about her. I know the comments will be lengthy but I hope you read them so you can get a good idea of how she affects everyone. Personally, she has inspired me to be kinder, more caring and loving than ever before in my life. Believe me, Salvo, you will come to understand everything in due time.
Hi Salvo, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song and she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the film Porky and Bess You are at the very beginning and I hope that you will continue the journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me , You will be addicted to her voice just like any other fans (Angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and many more Transporting emotions and she not only has around 200 covers but also 11 originals written by her and 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to talk about, her new EP all originals I can't decide which one is the best song. The whole EP is such a masterpiece and so well written by her, all I can say is she is outstanding and by far the best singer of this decade or century and Diamond is an even bigger surprise I have never experienced one in my entire life EP only contains number 1 songs, each of the 6 songs is a hit and grammy worthy. I hope that Republic Records will finally start the promo engine and it will be played on the radio and TV, only UA-cam is not enough. The crazy thing is that she said that the EP with 6 songs is a small selection of over 100 songs that she has already written, that gives hope for the future, that we will be surprised with even more beautiful songs. I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, by the way, she is now 17 years old, greetings from Germany,
Angelina sang in at least 8 different genres before her teen years, covering more than 130 songs from around 80 artists. Now at 17, she just keeps getting better. Signed with Republic Records (Taylor Swift, etc.) at age 14 but her family still doesn't want her promoted. Republic built her a studio to create her magic. Please read the bio I compiled for my all time favorite musical ARTist. 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. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. 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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. 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 had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go" On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes” I was thrilled to be at Angelina's first public concert in the USA on September 22, 2023 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. 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.
Great 1st reaction, and I have subscribed to your channel for more reactions to her. At this point you have absolutely no clue what you have stumbled across. Now, at age 17 she is IMO the very best female singer in the world. And I actually think that she has been for a few years already. Get to know her and understand what the hype is all about. Have a great weekend ! Much love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥♥ Btw, she was 9 years 2 months old here . Ah. I forgot to recommend something. Maybe check out her rendition of "Suspicious Minds" made popular by Elvis. She was 16 at t he time of recording. I will drop the link in a separate comment, just in case the link triggers the UA-cam bots or smt.
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina. “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" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018. ♥👣👸🏻🎷 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 the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" 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. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelina 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 copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed. 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. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣
Definitely an old soul. She is incredible. Start with her early Norway's Got Talent stuff and just work your way forward chronologically. It's the best way to follow her growth and development that *starts* with absolutely astounding. Today she is a poised, beautiful young woman of 17 whom I hope will gift us with her talents for a lifetime.
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 17 years old today and from Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when her full album is released later this year. There's only one EP with 6 songs she's released from RR now, and they haven't started marketing until the full album is released!. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing? I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life (17). She performed FIFA AWARD song, and performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones. She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on UA-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar. The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a "bare belly plastic artist" who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. She already eats most female vocalists for breakfast, and the label Republic Records and the rest of the music industry know that too!

Watching new reactors to that song never gets old. Great reaction. Welcome to the barefoot Princess/the girl with 1000 voices. Hold on tight because you’re on for a ride of your life. She is absolutely a musical genius. And just so you know, she was nine years old and she’s the one who wrote the rendition to that song as she does with just about all her songs. Going to subscribe to watch you reaction on this journey. Simply put she is an angel sent from heaven.
For reasons unknown, this video wasn't uploaded for about a year after it was recorded. Angelina was around her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. She took control of the musicians and studio to deliver a powerful performance. *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
I enjoyed your reaction, Salvo. This is the performance that made me a fan. Angelina's EP, which is all original music, would be a great place to go next, just for comparison. Her development as a singer is astounding. I'll recommend Good In Goodbyes from the EP, because it happens to be my current personal favorite. :) I'm now subscribed, so I'll get the notification when you get to it.
AJ was 9yr 2m old when she recorded this. Even from the age of seven, she could capture an audience. Her assured outdoor performance at age 8 in front of about 2,000 people, of Dinah Washington's "What a Difference A Day makes", is a sight and sound to behold. About 220 cover video performances including studio, televised, live and concerts - plus eleven original songs - will take you on a journey where you realise she is one of the most amazing, talented and versatile vocalists of our time.
Great reaction and insight. She actually was 9 years old here as the video was uploaded a year later. Here are all the basics You need to know with a playlist. 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 when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release. Here is a chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of Angelina's 200 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT. 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. Please continue to include in your description the artist Official Channel as well as the original video, if you have not already done so. Verbally encouraging your viewers to like comment and subscribe to yours and the artists' videos and channels boosts subscriptions and algorithms for both of you.
Glad you have found Angelina. If you want to check out her most recent, she released an EP with six original songs a couple of months ago. The EP is called “Old Enough”. You can’t go wrong! Enjoy!
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me.
I like to watch first time reactors to our barefoot princess and enjoyed your reaction. Having watched your face as you listened to her I have to tell you that YOU have been Jordanized. And that's a really nice thing to be. Soooo, strap in and buckle up because she's going to take you on an amazing journey down the rabbit hole that her magical voice is going to lead you. Enjoy the trip as I and so many of her fans (her angels) have done.
She was the best "Child Singer" from the age of 7-10, but by late 10 you can drop the "Child" part because she had a fully "Adult" voice. She has continued to improve every year & now, at 17, she is my favorite Singer/Songwriter/Arranger of my lifetime. Now that she has just finished her basic schooling, which was required by her parents, she is ready to start her full-time musical career. To see where she is today, check out her recently released EP, titled "Old Enough" with 6 new original songs which are all amazing. My favorite is one of only 2 songs on her EP that comes with a Music Video & it's title is Now I'm the Fool. It was one of the songs on her official channel you checked out after the video. She has grown into a beautiful, statuesque (6 ft tall) young woman with the most beautiful, emotional voice I've ever heard. Liked & subed for more Angelina reactions, & I guarantee you won't be sorry.
Subjective nonsense. Mohammed Ali is the Greatest of All Time in boxing, and Simone Biles is a GOAT in gymnastics. I looked up Angelina Jordan. She's the greatest of a seasonal talent show in Norway. To say anything else is conjecture based on a singular world view and a disrespect to every singer you've never heard. Conjecture is inadmissible as evidence in a court of law She's talented. Yes. But you've put yourself forward as the singular judge and jury for all the rest of us.
@@StriderspawnI said she was my favorite of my lifetime, not that she was the GOAT, although she probably will be in the next ten years. When you have listened to her 100's of songs on the internet from many different genre of music over the last decade, then your opinion will be based on knowledge. Until then, you know little or nothing about her.
@keithserafy You missed the point. There is no GOAT in music. Music is vast, with thousands of nuisances across hundreds of genres. Professional critics hold Judy Garland up as one of the all time great child voices of modern times. Notice three critical elements: "they", "one of" and "modern times". People have been singing for 10's of thousands of years. One of them may have a single favorite, but that's rare if you truly appreciate music. And I do. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a house of many, respected by many more. There is no singular greatest. There is healthy and respectful debate. When I think of "rasp"? It's Janis Joplin that comes to mind. But you have so many choices, Aretha Franklin or so many others.. The greatest rock & roll band history is a battle royal that always ends with one answer. It's call the Hall of Fame. Is it U2, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles or oh so many others. There has never been a "singleton" in the Hall of Fame. It would be an insult to the art of music. Jordan is a new talent and I wish her all the best. She a vocal artist. That puts her in the company of legends like Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and Judy Garland, to name a fee. I've researched music for decades and have a library of over 250,000 songs indexed by genre and including artist reviews by many professional critics. Each year I take multiple top 100 lists and go about finding my new joy. I use the 3X rule because a single listen doesn't give your brain a chance to "get it". It's always, always the same answer with Jordan. Just wait ten years. That's tarot cards and fortune reading. She young and talented. But globally, in the world of music she's a blip on radar "Running Up That Hill" (Kate Bush). Your very post began with proclamations of the greatest "Child Singer" at 10. It wasn't expressed as "In my opinion, Angelina Jordan is ..." In my opinion, Jordan has the potential to be a great one. Hall of Fame great? That's a big ask for me right now.
Finally! Welcome to a real fantastic rabbit hole. I'm 65, and I love everything this young lady performs. Even if it is not something I would normally listen to
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 vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - 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 some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html
Great reaction. I think I will enjoy watching you discover more. She has a cover channel on youtube as well as many originals. You have found her at just the right time. She is about to have her first album release here in the US very soon. There is not a bad song out there that she does and she covers everyone from Billie Holliday, Etta James and Louis Armstrong, to Amy Winehouse, Adele, Rhianna, Lana DelRay. Also Michael Jackson and The Beatles and Elvis Presley and more. She has many live performances. Enjoy!
Great reaction! She was 9yrs old, BTW, which makes it a tad MORE mind blowing! 😉. So many more amazing treats awaiting for your listening pleasure... While her wheelhouse genre (beginning w/Billie Holiday) is Jazz, but she sings everything.. fearlessly, puts her creativity in gear & produces a version you never thought possible; so you can choose your own favorite! I have a feeling we'll see you on the FLIPSIDE! 😂 Peace!!
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). Angelina sings nearly everything..and does it well..or better! You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

She was 9 here 17 now. She sings every genre. But loves Jazz. You can never judge her age by when they posted videos. There were often delays in getting round to posting. Grandma Meri constantly filmed her but some were only posted after a year or so. Such was the appetite for any clip of her singing we could get.
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of this amazing arrangement & performance by Angelina of this 1950's classic from Screamin'Jay Hawkins. (Btw - this was Angelina's own arrangement.) Angelina Jordan from Norway (English is not her 1st language) is now 17. She has over 200 covers & some original songs readily available on UA-cam & a huge, very loyal fan base. While you really can't go wrong with any of her songs - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend her Norway's Got Talent audition singing the Billie Holiday classic "Gloomy Sunday" - at age 7. Please be sure to select a video with English subtitles because while Angelina sings in English, the narrator & judges are speaking Norwegian. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you for discovering Angelina. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on UA-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. 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. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below, (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. (k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying. (l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella! Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Great reaction! Angelina has mainly sung jazz standards and retro classics from earlier decades, but she's branching out so who knows where she's going. She has around 200 songs on her UA-cam page, all worth checking out. If you want to hear what she sounds like now at 17, the best bet is Now I'm the Fool, from her first EP, Old Enough. But don't overlook her past portfolio, it's all gold from Gloomy Sunday onwards. She's a once in a generation singer and you're going to hear a lot of her in the next few months, I guarantee!
She is worth checking out. You will get suggestions and links. Her latest EP "Old Enough" has 6 songs that fans are mixed over as they try to choose the greatest out of great. "Bohemian Rhapsody" from America's Got Talent the Champions" in 2020 is exceptional. "Suspicious Minds" (Elvis cover), and "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston cover) are that good! Try it all. You'll like it. Enjoy!
GREETINGS EARTH GUY: I'm a little shocked to see you have not reacted to her up to this point. You won't regret coming to know this amazing artist. She's about 6 foot tall now.
At Portsmouth a fan asked her mom how tall Angelina was and she said 5'9". I ain't buyin' it. I have seen her in photos standing beside people who were 5'9, 5'10 and she is clearly taller.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Singing is easy for someone who started singing as soon as she started talking. She has over 200 songs, including her new and latest EP release in July, that blends the music from the past 100 years into something modern that everyone can enjoy repeatedly! Join the Jordan Journey and never be disappointed and always be surprised as you will find why she is callled the Angel with 1000 voices. I refer to her as the Song Whisperer as she is probably the best story tellers to grace humanity!
Salvo, this young lady is mega-talented!! She has a LOT of songs on youtube. It is AMAZING to see how she has matured in her vocals (which are stellar to begin with!) and this performance here is absolutely mind-blowing! It's like she was reincarnated from another life as a smoky lounge blues singer, but is now a child!! I said it before...she's an "old soul." You should hear her sing (at age 16, the classic My Funny Valentine; and her tribute to Elvis, with her slowed down version of Suspicious Minds. She also did a beautiful cover of Adele's song "Easy on Me" and you MUST listen to the song DIAMOND off of her new "album," "Old Enough." It is a BANGER!!! It's nothing like she's ever done before. And also you need to hear her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", which she sang at America's Got Talent. She is truly gifted.
Since this is your first experience with Angelina, you might think this is showing off. It’s not at all. It’s Angelina honoring the original and honoring the genre. She’s known as the girl with a thousand voices because she sings many different genres with the authenticity you just heard: blues, jazz, ballads, r&b, soul, and more. She’s 9 here, by the way, and this was her own arrangement. She’s beyond a musical prodigy. She’s a musical genius with a deep knowledge of musical history and an innate musicality in addition to her amazing voice. Watch it all come together at 13 years old with her live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent. Her arrangement and that performance was so good that Queen was amazed and gave her copyright to that version. It might be the best live performance I’ve ever seen. Watch what she can do: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.htmlsi=IdaNLs5CvO3IbL0Q
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone . Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out later this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
I'd say watch I'd rather go blind because it is one of my favourite's, but seriously, there's not a song that I don't love from her. She's mostly Jazzy but nowadays she sings everything: Michael Jackson, Elvis, Amy whinehouse, Adele (most from Adele are my favourites also)...but her most recent EP with originals are my playlist non stop while working. she's amazing
I always recommend "I Put A Spell..." first, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent in 2020 as the next. However as you mentioned how she held that note at the end, you might want to watch her hold a note for 17 seconds singing "I'd Rather Go Blind" at 10 years old. In that one, she has just been given a start up mic and is sitting at home on the couch as she tries it out. I always imagined Etta James sitting in Heaven, looking down and nodding her head, going "Uh huh, uh huh...you go girl!"
Hey Salvo, I have a 'performance' for you. I've been watching reactions for many years. The greatest reactions are when the reactors are spellbound, speechless, in tears and mind-blown. This performance has over 600 million total views. It was performed in 2014 in Maastricht, Holland and received a standing ovation from the 15000 that were blessed to be there. It is 10 year-old Amira Willighagen with Andre Rieu & his orchestra singing "O Mio Babbino Caro" by Puccini. Have tissues handy, enjoy.
Definitely listen to her younger songs first so you can see how she has progressed. She shocked the judges and everyone at 7 yrs old singing Billy Holidays Gloomy Sunday. Really worth a watch . Watching the amazing beauty of her voice grow is a journey you don’t want to miss.
My favorite song from her preteen years is "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse. Recorded at age ten with a professional orchestra, she made a deal with her mom that she would only be allowed to sing this song if she changed the lyrics sufficiently so the song was about something besides raw, triple X sensuality. I actually think her version has a lot more to do with Amy's life than Amy was when she made the song. What do you think? I dare you to do both, back to back. It would be a treat!
@@BlackWolfSpirit I have about 10-15 songs on the top from which I can' choose: Young and Beautiful, It's a man's world, I'd rather go blind, Easy on me, Diamond, SUspicious Minds,Million mIles..etc there is too many:) Some short ones are also brilliant.She is the best, that's for sure.
She's from Norway, but I think she is living in L.A. today. Check out her rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 on AGT. 2 of her new original songs are Now ,I'm the Fool and Love Don't Let Me Go.
please be aware: AJ was 9 yrs 2mo. when this was recorded...It was not released until (sometime) a bit later. This is Angelina's own arrangement of this 'Screamin' Jay Hawkin's' song and her tribute to him and his contributions to the music world. Thanks. AJ is a prolific singer/songwriter, BTW!
Anything that she has done is great, but if you want to see how she has grown since this song, at 13 she was on AGT the champions and did Bohemian Rhapsody which even the remaining Queen members were stunned by. Currently she released an EP a couple months ago and on it are 6 amazing songs. My favorite is Diamond. If you go back to her younger days watch all of the Norways got talent performances. But like I said she doesn't have a bad song in over 200 that are on her page
Welcome to the Angelina Rabbit Hole. If you aren't going down yet, watch her AGT the champions cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Come on down the hole there is plenty of good company.
The truth is that she is 9 and two months old in this song, welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of 🎷azz music who performs without shoes 🦶🦶 ENJOY 👑🗣🎙
Thanks for your reaction. I guess the reason there isn´t any type of music listed, is becourse she sings all kind of music. And all very good. She is called the girl with 100 voices, she can liberalt sing anything, and she does. There are no category that fit her, I guess she will have a new category of music.❣️
Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan Astar (yes, that's actually her last name, lol!) ! This rabbit hole is DEEP and REWARDING! The video was loaded to UA-cam in 2016, but was actually done in Norway around March of 2015, making her 9 years 2 months old in this. She will be 18 this January 10th, 2024. A child prodigy who has developed into a phenomenal young virtuoso, singing just about every genre you can imagine flawlessly, but with roots deep within jazz since she was (no joke!) still in diapers! Glad you discovered our Angel-ina!
Awesome reaction and Buckle your Seat Belt for this ride, it's not normal! She released a 6 song EP last July, "Love Don't Let Me Go" is the 1st song and all are Originals, God Bless!
thanks, Salvo - she was (and is) amazing.. now she is much older, but this remains one of very favorites by Angelina..... age NINE here... BTW, at the beginning, she holds a candle with a pic of Screamin' Jay Hawkins... by all accounts, this was her own arrangement of his original song... hope you listen to more...
She had just turned 9 years old when it was recorded...... another great performance is one year later and her voice is much different in style.... Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE" Hope you get a chance to listen.....thanks for the video
I love Angelina now i'm inviting you to another rabbit hole Three teenaged sisters from Mexico called:The Warning: who just played 2 songs at the VMAs. They rock beware they are addicting
Anyway you go, you can't go wrong. Start with her most recent EP Old Enough, or go back to her origins on Norway's Got Talent. At 10 her redition of Feeling Good is a show stopper. At 8, her version of "Fly Me To The Moon" caught the attention of Quincy Jones, and he had her perform this song, which he arranged for Sinatra, at his 85th Birthday.
That was a good take on the song, It prompted me to think of other versions I like. Please give Arthur Browns rendition a try (Crazy World of Arthur Brown) If you are in the mood for a bluesy psychedelic experience. It looks like you havent' reacted to CCR's version either, which is also one of my favorites!
If you watch one performance by Angelina Jordan, make it Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent. It's her most famous performance - she has done plenty since then but it was her "coming out" song, at least in the U.S.
😍🤩 Yeah dive in, whole thing is nuts. Sweet kid, strong kid, wise kid, and a crazy versatile, elite and beautiful skillset and voice. Future megastar for sure.
She is the g.o.a.t. great reaction to our barefoot princess now she is the goddess of the universe Wild bill from Worcester mass ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan. 1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html 2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed. 3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order: At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella. At age 12 There are two songs of note here: ‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note - ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her. At Age 16 she has three new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far. The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements. She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records. Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
You're right, that wasn't the voice of a 10 year old, it was the voice of a 9 year old.
It's 10/8/23 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen.🤯
SalvoG welcome into Angelina Jordan magical world of music. What kind of music she sings? She sings every kind, all genres with thousand voices but always with a jazzy something in her voice. She’s now 17 and one of the best female vocalist on the planet.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" To give you a better idea of who she is, she is on video singing lines from a Whitney Houston song in bed with a microphone at 1.5 years old. I'm glad you read about her before listening to this because you already knew she was special. As you continue to listen to more of her you will realize her vocal and artistic attributes defy logic. But what is even more exciting is you will find 'who she is' and your heart will let you know how it feels about her.
I know the comments will be lengthy but I hope you read them so you can get a good idea of how she affects everyone. Personally, she has inspired me to be kinder, more caring and loving than ever before in my life. Believe me, Salvo, you will come to understand everything in due time.
Hehe, you have no idea what's about to come your way. May the Angels descend...
Every time You hear her sing an "angel " gets it wings. Welcome to the family. Enjoy the journey
Oh man, I have to look her up!! Wow!
Here’s her entire playlist..enjoy.. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=C6h3riy0Gf1PcO7m
Hi Salvo, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song and she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the film Porky and Bess You are at the very beginning and I hope that you will continue the journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me , You will be addicted to her voice just like any other fans (Angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and many more Transporting emotions and she not only has around 200 covers but also 11 originals written by her and 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to talk about, her new EP all originals I can't decide which one is the best song. The whole EP is such a masterpiece and so well written by her, all I can say is she is outstanding and by far the best singer of this decade or century and Diamond is an even bigger surprise I have never experienced one in my entire life EP only contains number 1 songs, each of the 6 songs is a hit and grammy worthy. I hope that Republic Records will finally start the promo engine and it will be played on the radio and TV, only UA-cam is not enough. The crazy thing is that she said that the EP with 6 songs is a small selection of over 100 songs that she has already written, that gives hope for the future, that we will be surprised with even more beautiful songs. I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, by the way, she is now 17 years old, greetings from Germany,
The picture on the mug is the originator of the song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins. CCR covered it to and they do a fabulous job!
Wow! Shocking! So impressive. The band gave great support too.
Great reaction, you're going to like all her songs, her 1,000 voices and all styles of music
If you know the Screamin Jay Hawkins original you'll understand her cover of the song. It's one of those classic songs that shaped music.
Angelina sang in at least 8 different genres before her teen years, covering more than 130 songs from around 80 artists. Now at 17, she just keeps getting better. Signed with Republic Records (Taylor Swift, etc.) at age 14 but her family still doesn't want her promoted. Republic built her a studio to create her magic. Please read the bio I compiled for my all time favorite musical ARTist.
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.

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.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 had concerts in Norway in July 2022.
In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles.
On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions.
On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go"
On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes”
I was thrilled to be at Angelina's first public concert in the USA on September 22, 2023 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
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.
Great 1st reaction, and I have subscribed to your channel for more reactions to her. At this point you have absolutely no clue what you have stumbled across. Now, at age 17 she is IMO the very best female singer in the world. And I actually think that she has been for a few years already. Get to know her and understand what the hype is all about. Have a great weekend !
Much love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥♥ Btw, she was 9 years 2 months old here . Ah. I forgot to recommend something. Maybe check out her rendition of "Suspicious Minds" made popular by Elvis. She was 16 at t he time of recording. I will drop the link in a separate comment, just in case the link triggers the UA-cam bots or smt.
This girl lives and breathes music. Subbed for your journey with Angelina 😊 She' the Jazz Princess.
jazz roots any genre most soulful voice ever...
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina.
“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" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
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 the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" 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. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelina 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 copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed.
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. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣
Definitely an old soul. She is incredible. Start with her early Norway's Got Talent stuff and just work your way forward chronologically. It's the best way to follow her growth and development that *starts* with absolutely astounding. Today she is a poised, beautiful young woman of 17 whom I hope will gift us with her talents for a lifetime.
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 17 years old today and from Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when her full album is released later this year. There's only one EP with 6 songs she's released from RR now, and they haven't started marketing until the full album is released!. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing? I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life (17). She performed FIFA AWARD song, and performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones. She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on UA-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.
The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a "bare belly plastic artist" who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. She already eats most female vocalists for breakfast, and the label Republic Records and the rest of the music industry know that too!
Angelina arranges her music and directs the musicians as well, they call her boss. Angelina is the real deal, a true musical genius.

Watching new reactors to that song never gets old. Great reaction. Welcome to the barefoot Princess/the girl with 1000 voices. Hold on tight because you’re on for a ride of your life. She is absolutely a musical genius. And just so you know, she was nine years old and she’s the one who wrote the rendition to that song as she does with just about all her songs. Going to subscribe to watch you reaction on this journey. Simply put she is an angel sent from heaven.
For reasons unknown, this video wasn't uploaded for about a year after it was recorded. Angelina was around her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. She took control of the musicians and studio to deliver a powerful performance.

how do u sit on a masterpiece 4 a year b4 posting...love this family
I enjoyed your reaction, Salvo. This is the performance that made me a fan. Angelina's EP, which is all original music, would be a great place to go next, just for comparison. Her development as a singer is astounding. I'll recommend Good In Goodbyes from the EP, because it happens to be my current personal favorite. :) I'm now subscribed, so I'll get the notification when you get to it.
AJ was 9yr 2m old when she recorded this. Even from the age of seven, she could capture an audience. Her assured outdoor performance at age 8 in front of about 2,000 people, of Dinah Washington's "What a Difference A Day makes", is a sight and sound to behold. About 220 cover video performances including studio, televised, live and concerts - plus eleven original songs - will take you on a journey where you realise she is one of the most amazing, talented and versatile vocalists of our time.
Great reaction and insight. She actually was 9 years old here as the video was uploaded a year later. Here are all the basics You need to know with a playlist.
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 when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release.
Here is a chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of Angelina's 200 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT.

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.
Please continue to include in your description the artist Official Channel as well as the original video, if you have not already done so. Verbally encouraging your viewers to like comment and subscribe to yours and the artists' videos and channels boosts subscriptions and algorithms for both of you.
Glad you have found Angelina. If you want to check out her most recent, she released an EP with six original songs a couple of months ago. The EP is called “Old Enough”. You can’t go wrong! Enjoy!
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me.
I like to watch first time reactors to our barefoot princess and enjoyed your reaction. Having watched your face as you listened to her I have to tell you that YOU have been Jordanized. And that's a really nice thing to be. Soooo, strap in and buckle up because she's going to take you on an amazing journey down the rabbit hole that her magical voice is going to lead you. Enjoy the trip as I and so many of her fans (her angels) have done.
She was the best "Child Singer" from the age of 7-10, but by late 10 you can drop the "Child" part because she had a fully "Adult" voice. She has continued to improve every year & now, at 17, she is my favorite Singer/Songwriter/Arranger of my lifetime. Now that she has just finished her basic schooling, which was required by her parents, she is ready to start her full-time musical career. To see where she is today, check out her recently released EP, titled "Old Enough" with 6 new original songs which are all amazing. My favorite is one of only 2 songs on her EP that comes with a Music Video & it's title is Now I'm the Fool. It was one of the songs on her official channel you checked out after the video. She has grown into a beautiful, statuesque (6 ft tall) young woman with the most beautiful, emotional voice I've ever heard. Liked & subed for more Angelina reactions, & I guarantee you won't be sorry.
Subjective nonsense.
Mohammed Ali is the Greatest of All Time in boxing, and Simone Biles is a GOAT in gymnastics.
I looked up Angelina Jordan. She's the greatest of a seasonal talent show in Norway.
To say anything else is conjecture based on a singular world view and a disrespect to every singer you've never heard.
Conjecture is inadmissible as evidence in a court of law
She's talented. Yes.
But you've put yourself forward as the singular judge and jury for all the rest of us.
@@StriderspawnI said she was my favorite of my lifetime, not that she was the GOAT, although she probably will be in the next ten years. When you have listened to her 100's of songs on the internet from many different genre of music over the last decade, then your opinion will be based on knowledge. Until then, you know little or nothing about her.
@keithserafy You missed the point.
There is no GOAT in music. Music is vast, with thousands of nuisances across hundreds of genres.
Professional critics hold Judy Garland up as one of the all time great child voices of modern times.
Notice three critical elements: "they", "one of" and "modern times". People have been singing for 10's of thousands of years.
One of them may have a single favorite, but that's rare if you truly appreciate music. And I do.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a house of many, respected by many more. There is no singular greatest.
There is healthy and respectful debate. When I think of "rasp"? It's Janis Joplin that comes to mind. But you have so many choices, Aretha Franklin or so many others..
The greatest rock & roll band history is a battle royal that always ends with one answer. It's call the Hall of Fame.
Is it U2, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles or oh so many others. There has never been a "singleton" in the Hall of Fame. It would be an insult to the art of music.
Jordan is a new talent and I wish her all the best. She a vocal artist. That puts her in the company of legends like Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and Judy Garland, to name a fee.
I've researched music for decades and have a library of over 250,000 songs indexed by genre and including artist reviews by many professional critics.
Each year I take multiple top 100 lists and go about finding my new joy. I use the 3X rule because a single listen doesn't give your brain a chance to "get it".
It's always, always the same answer with Jordan. Just wait ten years. That's tarot cards and fortune reading.
She young and talented. But globally, in the world of music she's a blip on radar "Running Up That Hill" (Kate Bush).
Your very post began with proclamations of the greatest "Child Singer" at 10. It wasn't expressed as "In my opinion, Angelina Jordan is ..."
In my opinion, Jordan has the potential to be a great one. Hall of Fame great? That's a big ask for me right now.
And I use Grado's when I study it.
@@Striderspawnisn’t it tiring being ‘contrary person on the internet’?
Finally! Welcome to a real fantastic rabbit hole. I'm 65, and I love everything this young lady performs. Even if it is not something I would normally listen to
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 vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - 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 some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html
Great reaction. I think I will enjoy watching you discover more. She has a cover channel on youtube as well as many originals. You have found her at just the right time. She is about to have her first album release here in the US very soon. There is not a bad song out there that she does and she covers everyone from Billie Holliday, Etta James and Louis Armstrong, to Amy Winehouse, Adele, Rhianna, Lana DelRay. Also Michael Jackson and The Beatles and Elvis Presley and more. She has many live performances. Enjoy!
Great reaction! She was 9yrs old, BTW, which makes it a tad MORE mind blowing! 😉. So many more amazing treats awaiting for your listening pleasure... While her wheelhouse genre (beginning w/Billie Holiday) is Jazz, but she sings everything.. fearlessly, puts her creativity in gear & produces a version you never thought possible; so you can choose your own favorite! I have a feeling we'll see you on the FLIPSIDE! 😂 Peace!!
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). Angelina sings nearly everything..and does it well..or better! You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

She was 9 here
17 now. She sings every genre. But loves Jazz. You can never judge her age by when they posted videos. There were often delays in getting round to posting. Grandma Meri constantly filmed her but some were only posted after a year or so. Such was the appetite for any clip of her singing we could get.
Hello from Norway. Today I gave you a like and a sub. I want to follow you on your Angelina Jordan-journey. It will be fun!
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of this amazing arrangement & performance by Angelina of this 1950's classic from Screamin'Jay Hawkins. (Btw - this was Angelina's own arrangement.) Angelina Jordan from Norway (English is not her 1st language) is now 17. She has over 200 covers & some original songs readily available on UA-cam & a huge, very loyal fan base. While you really can't go wrong with any of her songs - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend her Norway's Got Talent audition singing the Billie Holiday classic "Gloomy Sunday" - at age 7. Please be sure to select a video with English subtitles because while Angelina sings in English, the narrator & judges are speaking Norwegian. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you for discovering Angelina. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on UA-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. 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. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below,
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted.
(g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song.
(h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time.
(i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word
(j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
(k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying.
(l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella!
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Great reaction! Angelina has mainly sung jazz standards and retro classics from earlier decades, but she's branching out so who knows where she's going. She has around 200 songs on her UA-cam page, all worth checking out. If you want to hear what she sounds like now at 17, the best bet is Now I'm the Fool, from her first EP, Old Enough. But don't overlook her past portfolio, it's all gold from Gloomy Sunday onwards. She's a once in a generation singer and you're going to hear a lot of her in the next few months, I guarantee!
She is worth checking out. You will get suggestions and links. Her latest EP "Old Enough" has 6 songs that fans are mixed over as they try to choose the greatest out of great. "Bohemian Rhapsody" from America's Got Talent the Champions" in 2020 is exceptional. "Suspicious Minds" (Elvis cover), and "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston cover) are that good! Try it all. You'll like it. Enjoy!
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
GREETINGS EARTH GUY: I'm a little shocked to see you have not reacted to her up to this point. You won't regret coming to know this amazing artist. She's about 6 foot tall now.
At Portsmouth a fan asked her mom how tall Angelina was and she said 5'9". I ain't buyin' it. I have seen her in photos standing beside people who were 5'9, 5'10 and she is clearly taller.
@@leechap3could be due to shoes
@@leechap3 Another fan asked Angelina directly and her answer was 5'11. (I got this information from one of the live streams from the concert venue).
@@HeartFireSessions Unlikely, this is based on numerous photos.
@@kristena9285 That seems more realistic.
Loved seeing your giddiness at this performance (it's a common occurance), looking forward to seeing you discover how incredible Angelina really is!
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Singing is easy for someone who started singing as soon as she started talking.
She has over 200 songs, including her new and latest EP release in July, that blends the music from the past 100 years into something modern that everyone can enjoy repeatedly! Join the Jordan Journey and never be disappointed and always be surprised as you will find why she is callled the Angel with 1000 voices. I refer to her as the Song Whisperer as she is probably the best story tellers to grace humanity!
Salvo, this young lady is mega-talented!! She has a LOT of songs on youtube. It is AMAZING to see how she has matured in her vocals (which are stellar to begin with!) and this performance here is absolutely mind-blowing! It's like she was reincarnated from another life as a smoky lounge blues singer, but is now a child!! I said it before...she's an "old soul." You should hear her sing (at age 16, the classic My Funny Valentine; and her tribute to Elvis, with her slowed down version of Suspicious Minds. She also did a beautiful cover of Adele's song "Easy on Me" and you MUST listen to the song DIAMOND off of her new "album," "Old Enough." It is a BANGER!!! It's nothing like she's ever done before. And also you need to hear her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", which she sang at America's Got Talent. She is truly gifted.
Since this is your first experience with Angelina, you might think this is showing off. It’s not at all. It’s Angelina honoring the original and honoring the genre. She’s known as the girl with a thousand voices because she sings many different genres with the authenticity you just heard: blues, jazz, ballads, r&b, soul, and more. She’s 9 here, by the way, and this was her own arrangement. She’s beyond a musical prodigy. She’s a musical genius with a deep knowledge of musical history and an innate musicality in addition to her amazing voice.
Watch it all come together at 13 years old with her live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent. Her arrangement and that performance was so good that Queen was amazed and gave her copyright to that version. It might be the best live performance I’ve ever seen. Watch what she can do: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.htmlsi=IdaNLs5CvO3IbL0Q
Angelina had just turned 9 when the recording was made but the video was released on UA-cam the following year when she was 10
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone . Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out later this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Her cover of Adele's 'A Million Years Ago' at age 12 is musical perfection.
I'd say watch I'd rather go blind because it is one of my favourite's, but seriously, there's not a song that I don't love from her. She's mostly Jazzy but nowadays she sings everything: Michael Jackson, Elvis, Amy whinehouse, Adele (most from Adele are my favourites also)...but her most recent EP with originals are my playlist non stop while working. she's amazing
She is the queen of jazz but you can't put her in a box like that . She has the rare ability to a song of any genre and make it better
I always recommend "I Put A Spell..." first, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent in 2020 as the next. However as you mentioned how she held that note at the end, you might want to watch her hold a note for 17 seconds singing "I'd Rather Go Blind" at 10 years old. In that one, she has just been given a start up mic and is sitting at home on the couch as she tries it out. I always imagined Etta James sitting in Heaven, looking down and nodding her head, going "Uh huh, uh huh...you go girl!"
I’m sure you will enjoy the journey into the world of Angelina
She does ANY kind of music....she IS music!
Hey Salvo, I have a 'performance' for you. I've been watching reactions for many years.
The greatest reactions are when the reactors are spellbound, speechless, in tears and mind-blown. This performance has over 600 million total views. It was performed in 2014 in Maastricht, Holland and received a standing ovation from the 15000 that were blessed to be there. It is 10 year-old Amira Willighagen with Andre Rieu & his orchestra singing "O Mio Babbino Caro" by Puccini. Have tissues handy, enjoy.
Definitely listen to her younger songs first so you can see how she has progressed. She shocked the judges and everyone at 7 yrs old singing Billy Holidays Gloomy Sunday. Really worth a watch . Watching the amazing beauty of her voice grow is a journey you don’t want to miss.
My favorite song from her preteen years is "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse. Recorded at age ten with a professional orchestra, she made a deal with her mom that she would only be allowed to sing this song if she changed the lyrics sufficiently so the song was about something besides raw, triple X sensuality. I actually think her version has a lot more to do with Amy's life than Amy was when she made the song. What do you think? I dare you to do both, back to back. It would be a treat!
interesting:) that song is my least favourite from Angelina. It is still very good.
@@BlackWolfSpirit I have about 10-15 songs on the top from which I can' choose: Young and Beautiful, It's a man's world, I'd rather go blind, Easy on me, Diamond, SUspicious Minds,Million mIles..etc there is too many:) Some short ones are also brilliant.She is the best, that's for sure.
@@BlackWolfSpirit interesting, thanks for sharing
She's from Norway, but I think she is living in L.A. today. Check out her rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 on AGT.
2 of her new original songs are Now ,I'm the Fool and Love Don't Let Me Go.
Please watch her new EP. Though the tracks are different mixes of genre, NOW IM THE FOOL is a natural progression from this.
please be aware: AJ was 9 yrs 2mo. when this was recorded...It was not released until (sometime) a bit later.
This is Angelina's own arrangement of this 'Screamin' Jay Hawkin's' song and her tribute to him and his contributions to the music world.
Thanks.
AJ is a prolific singer/songwriter, BTW!
Anything that she has done is great, but if you want to see how she has grown since this song, at 13 she was on AGT the champions and did Bohemian Rhapsody which even the remaining Queen members were stunned by. Currently she released an EP a couple months ago and on it are 6 amazing songs. My favorite is Diamond. If you go back to her younger days watch all of the Norways got talent performances. But like I said she doesn't have a bad song in over 200 that are on her page
Absolutely love this performance! Will never get tired of it ♥️
Welcome to the Angelina Rabbit Hole. If you aren't going down yet, watch her AGT the champions cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Come on down the hole there is plenty of good company.
She has a second official channel only for covers, that's where most of her best performances are kept and you should check them out!!!
The truth is that she is 9 and two months old in this song, welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of 🎷azz music who performs without shoes 🦶🦶 ENJOY 👑🗣🎙
"Love is Magical... It Can Heal Anything.!!!" - Miss. Angelina "Magical Barefoot Jazz Vocalist & Song Writer" Jordan "Thank U - Mr. SalvG - Smiles"
Thanks for your reaction. I guess the reason there isn´t any type of music listed, is becourse she sings all kind of music. And all very good. She is called the girl with 100 voices, she can liberalt sing anything, and she does. There are no category that fit her, I guess she will have a new category of music.❣️
Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan Astar (yes, that's actually her last name, lol!) ! This rabbit hole is DEEP and REWARDING! The video was loaded to UA-cam in 2016, but was actually done in Norway around March of 2015, making her 9 years 2 months old in this. She will be 18 this January 10th, 2024. A child prodigy who has developed into a phenomenal young virtuoso, singing just about every genre you can imagine flawlessly, but with roots deep within jazz since she was (no joke!) still in diapers! Glad you discovered our Angel-ina!
Great reaction. You’re going to love her music.🎼👍🏼🤗💞
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina.. she’s simply the best..❤
She was actually 9 here and the arrangement is her own. Those notes the gentleman was reading were her last minute changes
Keep on this artist, you will not be disappointed. 🎤🔥
With vocals like those of AJ you're just bound for greatness!
Angelina is one of the most amazing singers I've ever heard.
Greatest Female Vocalist on the Planet, Possible the Galaxy 😊
One in 7 Billion.
Awesome reaction and Buckle your Seat Belt for this ride, it's not normal! She released a 6 song EP last July, "Love Don't Let Me Go" is the 1st song and all are Originals, God Bless!
She is amazing. Keep going.
thanks, Salvo - she was (and is) amazing.. now she is much older, but this remains one of very favorites by Angelina..... age NINE here... BTW, at the beginning, she holds a candle with a pic of Screamin' Jay Hawkins... by all accounts, this was her own arrangement of his original song... hope you listen to more...
She’s a miracle from God.❤️🔥🙀
She had just turned 9 years old when it was recorded...... another great performance is one year later and her voice is much different in style.... Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE" Hope you get a chance to listen.....thanks for the video
I love Angelina now i'm inviting you to another rabbit hole Three teenaged sisters from Mexico called:The Warning: who just played 2 songs at the VMAs. They rock beware they are addicting
Anyway you go, you can't go wrong. Start with her most recent EP Old Enough, or go back to her origins on Norway's Got Talent. At 10 her redition of Feeling Good is a show stopper. At 8, her version of "Fly Me To The Moon" caught the attention of Quincy Jones, and he had her perform this song, which he arranged for Sinatra, at his 85th Birthday.
ohh dear .. Be aware .. This rabbit hole is deep ......if you do more of her your channel might just explode... she is SO SO good....
That was a good take on the song, It prompted me to think of other versions I like. Please give Arthur Browns rendition a try (Crazy World of Arthur Brown) If you are in the mood for a bluesy psychedelic experience. It looks like you havent' reacted to CCR's version either, which is also one of my favorites!
New Subscribers for Angelina
If you watch one performance by Angelina Jordan, make it Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent. It's her most famous performance - she has done plenty since then but it was her "coming out" song, at least in the U.S.
Angelina singing ..Bang Bang.. My baby shot me down…. when she as 7 is incredible too…
You have to check out her cover of “Suspicious Minds” Elvis Presley; it’s truly amazing and haunting! 😊
You have no idea what you just stumbled onto, Lucky you, Once in a lifetime talent
Check out Id Rather Go Blind, 12 yrs old. It’s impossible and yet your ears are hearing that…
Very Young, With an Old Soul!!!♥
She's 9 years and two months here.
My favorite that puts Chills on me .. Is a leaked DEMO recording at age 10 🤯 I’m still holding out for you…. It’s amazing!
Welcome to the world to our barefoot princess and her 1000 voices ! You just opened Pandora box ❤
This is her arrangement. They call her the boss.
😍🤩 Yeah dive in, whole thing is nuts. Sweet kid, strong kid, wise kid, and a crazy versatile, elite and beautiful skillset and voice. Future megastar for sure.
She is the g.o.a.t. great reaction to our barefoot princess now she is the goddess of the universe Wild bill from Worcester mass ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan
Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html
At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html
At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html
At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html
On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her.
At Age 16 she has three new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html
She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
