Well done on the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps =) The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces is the foremost of the military bands of the Norwegian Armed Forces and Norway's largest professional wind band, employing 39 full-time musicians.
Wonderful and careful analysis Nina, thank you. A shy 12-year-old girl who arranges and performs an entire CD herself, which is presented with this concert, with her original songs and iconic songs by superlative performers... how is this possible? And the absolutely calm and confident approach with which she sings such powerful and masterfully performed versions. From an early age she has been a miracle of music and a wonderful gift for us who are lucky enough to be her contemporaries. This is simply Angelina. There is no need for anything else to be moved, happy to be there and to be able to listen to her. 💛🧡❤
The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps) recorded the album "It's Magic" with 16 tracks in 2017/18 to mark the 200th anniversary and released it under their record label Forsvarets Musikk. Because of the special anniversary, they asked Angelina (Angelina was 11y) to do the vocals on the album. As a special tribute to Angelina, two originals by Angelina were also released on the album. On June 16, 2018, for the official celebrations and tribute to the orchestra, there was this spectacular concert "It's Magic' with many prominent guests including the Prime Minister at the time, Erna Solberg. 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
Thank you so much Nina, great reaction. Also it's Angelina's birthday today, Happy 18th Birthday Angelina. She definitely does really good with bands. Not too long ago she sang Unchained Melody with Kork Band which was beautifully done and a must see.
@@ninaschofieldplease consider her Nobel Peace Prize performance from the perspective that she was singing to the twins in the audience of Narges Mohammadi an Iranian human rights advocate in prisoned in Iran some 9 years ago having received 156 lashes. Unchained Melody was an inspired song choice! Note how, after concluding the performance, she clutches her heart and looks directly at the twins who are, incidentally, the sane age as Angelina. Also, please remember that Angelina is quarter Iranian.
Yes please Nina, watch Angelina's absolutely beautiful Nobel Peace Prize performance of Unchained Melody with the wonderful KORK Orchestra. Would love to watch you experience that performance!
This was filmed at an old castle that does not allow professional recording equipment. We get only the cellphone recording. In reality, the sound was perfect for those in attendence.
Best Wishes on your special day Angelina , Happy Birthday 18 years old today, I was fortunate enough to attend this live concert and I was blown away by 12 years old Angelina with this phenomenal live performance, I’m definitely a lifetime fan of Angelina who is a once in a generation talent, she is so special! Great reaction thanks!
Thank you so much again! Nina for listening to our beautiful barefoot princess. This wonderful rendition with so much depth, soul and vibrato was amazing to say rhe least. I think she was only 10 years old at this time. As a professional singer, you know how difficult it is sometimes to be so in tune and together with a live orchestra behind you. Angelina is so so natural on stage. I think it's who she is. She commands the stage each and every time she's up there and I think the audience really feels her emotional connection with them. By the way. Angelina turns 18 today. Believe it or not, and I think she's definitely on her way to a becoming one of the great young artists of our time. I want to thank you for your continued support of Angelina and keep posting my friend. You are so much so much needed by the UA-cam community. If you get a chance I would suggest one of her. most wonderful live performances ever with the amazing Norwegian orchestra Kork at the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize event in Oslo Norway. Just a month ago. Angelina saying "Unchained Melody" and delivered a beautiful, eloquent, graceful and emotional performance. Thank you so much! Nina and sending much thanks and love from Canada as always👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
This was a G.O.A.T. performance. No one could rival this girl at 11 let alone now at 18. She doesn't get near the credit for her power or her range. Probably, because unlike some vocalist, she doesn't display her power or range, just because she can. It has to fit the occasion and the mood she is looking for. Great reaction. Everyone is right about Unchained Melody. Given it was a live performance with an orchestra at such a prestigious event, the vulnerability she put herself into is insane. An artist has to have extreme confidence to take the chances she did. No room for error. There weren't any. Perfection! Another G.O.A.T. performance.
As amazing as this performance is, we forget Angelina's age and that this was recorded on a cellphone. The girl is skilled beyond comprehension. There is so so much more to look forward to from Angelina. Thanks Nina, your the best.
The band is the Norwegian military band which was celebrating its 200th year in existence. They recorded the album Its Magic with Angelina. This video is from a performance of the entire album. Angelina was 12 but I believe she was still 11 when the album was recorded. FYI, the It’s Magic album contains Angelina’s first two recorded originals, Oslo and What Is Life.
@@ninaschofieldCheck out her first use of that mic where she covers Etta James’s I’d Rather Go Blind”..here’s the link.. ua-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/v-deo.htmlsi=S6FBdCQeFMqx5TLf
Thank you for going back to age 12 here. Angelina is 18 years old today 01/10/24. This is from a complete concert singing every song from there first album. The entire album is fantastic!
This performance is generally reckoned to be one of Angelina's particular masterpieces. Faultless and amazing. Thank you so much for this reaction. And Happy Birthday, Angelina!
Wild isn't it? 12 and a half year old just absolutely unleashed, yet with all the flavors, control and touch a vocalist could hope for. Live. With a loud brass band. 🤷♂❤
Nina thanks for this and all your reactions and analysis of Angelina's performances. Great fun to watch the man with glasses playing clarinet when Angelina begins to sing. Obviously he is a HUGE fan and has the same reaction on each song from this great concert in 2018, supporting Angelina's "It's Magic" album which, at times, has been among the best selling jazz albums. It is available on iTunes and Amazon amongst others.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Another wonderful from the same concert is Cry Me A River. I believe everyone would enjoy your reaction to that.
She takes 'The Godfather Of Soul's' original into the stratosphere and does it virtually effortless. Had she performed this James Brown cover at The Apollo Theater in Harlem, the toughest 'Black Soul' critics on the planet would have given her a standing ovation.
My mom was a professional singer in the Big Band Era. She was the headliner when all the great bands came thru her town. She sang with all the great bands, and taught us to appreciate that Era, and she sang at all of All 6 children’s at our wedding receptions. Angelina is simply an old school mega star. Happy New Years
This is what happens, when a young and very respected vocalist is joined by the musical forces of the army, who are a class in it's own: they "blow you up" in the most beautiful way. It is just magic...
YAY! Thank you, Nina, for another great reaction/analysis .. you are the best! I would love to see you react to Angelina's performance of _Unchained Melody_ at the Nobel Peace Prize.
This is one of the great performance as a young child ,I believe this is Norway 's military band ,they preformed with Angelina in a number of her recordings, enjoyed your reaction and analysis as always ,she recently sang unchained melody at the Nobel Peace Prize with a great orchestra which I'm sure you will enjoy
The Norwegian Armed Forces Staff Music Corps (Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps) is Norway's largest professional brass band and celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2018. To mark this anniversary the orchestra went into the studio to record an album in November 2017 and they asked 11yo Angelina Jordan to do the vocals on the album. As a special tribute to Angelina, the two originals Angelina had at the time (“What is life” & “Oslo”) and her signature song “Fly me to the Moon” were also released on the album. There is some footage online on YT with rehearsal stuff and very interesting takes from recording sessions related to this album (most prominent “I’m a fool to want you” and “cheek to cheek”). Kaleidoscope RMX used some of it for their video “Creating ‘Oslo’ ” The album was released in May 2018 on the Forsvarets Musikk record label, it is called “It’s Magic” and contains 16 Tracks - three of which are instrumental. On June 16, 2018, for the official celebrations and tribute to the orchestra, there was the spectacular concert this video is taken from. It took place outdoors under a large pavilion in front of Akershus festning, the famous fortress that has guarded Oslo for hundreds of years, in the presence Prime Minister Erna Solberg and many other prominent guests. The stage is called “Karpedammen Scene” (= “carp pond stage”), since there is a small pond in front of the stage which is actually the last remains of the old moat that was an obstacle for evil attacking armies. You can get a better look at the location in this short advertisement video on the orchestra’s channel: ua-cam.com/video/U5ElcvYGhto/v-deo.html A glimpse of the whole stage and the full orchestra can be seen in the concert’s opening sequence before performing “It’s Magic” : ua-cam.com/video/LvJk7mbxQCE/v-deo.html Boris Palenovsik recorded the whole concert on his cell phone and Phillip (pa1189j) acoustically stabilized the material and cleaned it of extraneous noise. Angelina performed all 13 vocal tracks from this album - most famously this “It’s a man’s world” rendition, but “Cry me a river” and “Mr. Lonely” are outstanding also - as are “I’m a fool to want You” and “Crazy”. It's amazing how well Angelina's vocals and the orchestra's performance go together throughout the concert - a testament to 12-year-old Angelina's ability to work with such a large band (39 musicians).
Angelina Jordán, a vocalist whose complex voice full of nuances, tones, is out of the reach of many singers, she is a vocal virtuoso, the greatness of a prodigy or genius like Angelina Jordan does not lie in seeking perfection but in being unique, authentic, original , Mexico
I wouldn't otherwise be a "fan" of a lot of the music she covers, but when she sings it, I become one. It's not that I dislike it, but just not my taste. However, when she sings it's magic! Don't know if it's her tone or what it is, but it does something to my brain. Any age, song, genre, etc, I can and do listen and melt;)
Defence Forces Staff Band, based in Oslo. Close to where Angelina lived som so probably popped in for rehersal. They were 200 years old, made a record ('It's magic') and invited AJ to sing. They made one concert/celebraition at Akershus Medeaval Castle in Oslo City Centre with primeminister and other celebreties present. There is another video out where the band celebraithed AJ's 12th birthday (6 years ago today). Plus there is one video from backstage of the concert also on UA-cam.

See you on the flipside Sweet Nina, PEACE!!👍🏻🎙️🎶🤗
Angelina Jordan is the Goddaughter Of Soul. She takes the best of James Brown's emotion and her own amazing technique and blends it into an outstanding cover. I love her belting: it's powerful and rich at the same time. Also, she seasons a line or two with some funky "aaah" vowels that make me shiver inside. Great analysis, Nina! More AJ! :)
"For truly we are all angels... Temporally hiding as human's.!!!" - Dr. Brian [ Miss. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide ] Weiss Hello - Nina
Great reaction as always, Nina 😊 Happy New Year to you and your dog, as well as the rest of your family🙂 I think we will have a lot of new stuff from Angelina this year. And I'm looking very much forward to more reactions from my top 3 reactor in the world 🌎 Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️🇬🇧🎸
Incredible performance. Just look how relaxed Angelina was throughout! Incredible and as you say, so enjoyable, maybe even one of the best covers of this song. To have been there!
Hi, Nina! Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina. There was no official recording of this concert, and we are extremely lucky that Boris Palenovski, an Angelina Superfan was present throughout to record everything and upload them to his UA-cam channel. Did you notice the second clarinet player throw back his head in complete astonishment when Angelina began to sing, and then had a large grin on his face?
Hi Nina I'm a big fan of yours and I love how you react to Angelina plus you're a great singer yourself and I've listened to some of your songs on UA-cam you are really good
Nina, great reaction to an amazing performance by a singer of any age, but at just twelve! When you react to Angelina contribution to the Nobel Prize ceremony, keep in mind they she is singing to the recipient’s two teenage children who hadn’t seen their mom for several years since she was imprisoned by Iran over her advocacy for women’s rights. The daughter has concluded the sentence (I believe 16 yrs and several dozen lashes) has become a life sentence and they will never see her again. In an interview they said she was fighting to make Iran a better place for them. The song Angelina sings is most often thought of as a beautiful, love song by The Righteous Brothers, when actually it was a 1930’s?? instrumental chosen as the theme for the 1955 prison movie, “Unchained”. The lyrics were written for the movie and sung by one of the prisoners doing time knowing he could escape but that would most certainly prolong the time away from his loved ones as he would be forever on the run or caught and sentenced to additional time. It’s almost as if Angelina is channeling the imprisoned Iranian activist when singing to her children. At the end of the song you’ll notice how during the applause, Angelina looks over at the twin son and daughter to acknowledge them with a smile of love with her hand over her heart.
At first, happy new year to you and thanks for your great reaction.even it's angelinas birthday, you should go to james thiel account and react to the video he made with angelina and the angelinettes. He made this video and i guess, it deserves a reaction.
Hi Nina great reaction to our girl Angelina she's 18 today and I hope you will react to more of her songs cuz we love her of course and I hope you do too
Angelina at 12 years old with a commanding stage presence! Her vocals are immaculate especially when you hear a live performance and this was from a cellphone as no other cameras were allowed! This entire concert was outstanding and the songs are from her album It’s Magic produced when she was 11! There are numerous behind the scenes and rehearsal videos for this album on Grandma Mery’s UA-cam channel! She knocked this out of the park, what a professional! This was at the 200th anniversary of The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvarets Stabmusuikkorps)! See what the orchestra did for her 12th birthday! ua-cam.com/video/GsRD10wDLss/v-deo.html 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯
Around this time, around 12 AJ really had arrived at a special place with her voice. It would be very interesting to hear her do this tune now at 18, it would be great of course, but it would not have the same timbre.
Having seen film of this being performed by James Brown, 'the hardest working man in show business', you have wonder at Angelina's response : Whats so hard about this?
To follow up, you should watch Angelina sing 'Everest'. She opened her 2022 concerts with this piece. But I should warn you--it's like eating one potato chip: you can't stop with just one. ua-cam.com/video/LhZrg2nW9d8/v-deo.html
When you watch it again, when she sings that last section, watch the conductor do a double take-she surprised even him! That’s another thing about Angelina-she hardly ever sings a song the same way twice.
Nina , you really need to check out her latest retention of unchained melody from the Nobel peace prze awards , with the kork orchestra just a few weeks ago
This was so good!! What did you think?

Angelina used a few of her weapons to slay the audience… she even has more which is amazing. This is a stellar performance!
"Stellar" -- that's the right word indeed!
Angelina is 18 today and about to take over the world! Happy Birthday Angelina! 🎂🎂🎂
Thank you so much Nina, great reaction. Also it's Angelina's birthday today, Happy 18th Birthday Angelina. She definitely does really good with bands. Not too long ago she sang Unchained Melody with Kork Band which was beautifully done and a must see.

Angelina was 12 yrs old in this performance!
An epic performance by a 12 year old ❤️ Even the conductor got shook 😳😳
This was filmed at an old castle that does not allow professional recording equipment. We get only the cellphone recording. In reality, the sound was perfect for those in attendence.
There is an audio recording from a jazz festival that is much, much better. Jazz band rather than a military orchestra.
@@josephstimpfl4594 thats the one with the extended guitar solo at the end, correct?

He recalled that Sinatra once told him that the key to singing was not to let it interfere with the storytelling. He praised Jordan for having the same quality in her performances, saying that she captivated the audience with her expressive voice and emotional delivery. © Larry D. Pifer

I can't wait till you review this one: Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023
This video is a masterpiece that I have watched more than 75 times. Every time I hear the KORK Orchestra begin playing, I feel a surge of emotion because I know what is coming next: the most amazing rendition of Unchained Melody by the incomparable Angelina Jordan. She has a voice of an angel and a talent beyond words.
Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 Some ask why Angelina Jordan would pick Unchained Melody for this event, Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist who received the prestigious award remains in Iran. One of the most popular and enduring love songs of all time, Unchained Melody, has a surprising origin. It was composed for a 1955 film called Unchained, which tells the story of a man who is incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. He yearns to be free and reunite with his wife and children, who are waiting for him outside. The song captures his emotions of loneliness, hope and longing, and has been covered by many artists over the years, but none in my lifetime of 76 years have conveyed such emotion as Angelina Jordan did at this performance. © Larry D. Pifer
Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Another wonderful from the same concert is Cry Me A River. I believe everyone would enjoy your reaction to that.
Thank you for doing this on her 18th. birthday. Happy birthday Angelina❤Ann from Norway
My pleasure! It’s my own little way of celebrating with you all - thanks for watching! 🩷
She takes 'The Godfather Of Soul's' original into the stratosphere and does
it virtually effortless. Had she performed this James Brown cover at The
Apollo Theater in Harlem, the toughest 'Black Soul' critics on the planet

Best wishes Angelina Jordan happy bday
First times I heard this I burst out in uncontrollable laughter. Incredible vocals from a 12y old!
Loved your reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖
I can totally understand that! The pure joy and disbelief ☺️ Thank you so much for watching!

YAY! Thank you, Nina, for another great reaction/analysis .. you are the best! I would love to see you react to Angelina's performance of _Unchained Melody_ at the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yesss it’s on my watch list 😊❤
AJ not only riffs with the clarinetist -- she enters into a competition with him, and essentially kicks his butt in the coda.
She is absolutely spectacular here. One of my all time favorites of Angelina, Loved your reaction.
She really is! Thank you so much for watching 😊
I love this Iive performance more than the one on the Magic Album. Happy birthday Barefoot Queen.
This is one of the great performance as a young child ,I believe this is Norway 's military band ,they preformed with Angelina in a number of her recordings, enjoyed your reaction and analysis as always ,she recently sang unchained melody at the Nobel Peace Prize with a great orchestra which I'm sure you will enjoy

You can get a better look at the location in this short advertisement video on the orchestra’s channel: ua-cam.com/video/U5ElcvYGhto/v-deo.html
A glimpse of the whole stage and the full orchestra can be seen in the concert’s opening sequence before performing “It’s Magic” : ua-cam.com/video/LvJk7mbxQCE/v-deo.html
Boris Palenovsik recorded the whole concert on his cell phone and Phillip (pa1189j) acoustically stabilized the material and cleaned it of extraneous noise.
Angelina performed all 13 vocal tracks from this album - most famously this “It’s a man’s world” rendition, but “Cry me a river” and “Mr. Lonely” are outstanding also - as are “I’m a fool to want You” and “Crazy”.
It's amazing how well Angelina's vocals and the orchestra's performance go together throughout the concert - a testament to 12-year-old Angelina's ability to work with such a large band (39 musicians).
Angelina Jordán, a vocalist whose complex voice full of nuances, tones, is out of the reach of many singers, she is a vocal virtuoso, the greatness of a prodigy or genius like Angelina Jordan does not lie in seeking perfection but in being unique, authentic, original , Mexico
I wouldn't otherwise be a "fan" of a lot of the music she covers, but when she sings it, I become one. It's not that I dislike it, but just not my taste. However, when she sings it's magic! Don't know if it's her tone or what it is, but it does something to my brain. Any age, song, genre, etc, I can and do listen and melt;)
...What a great tribute to the King of Soul!! ... James B. would be honored ... and speechless 😲!! ... Phenomenal!! 🔥💎🔥 Thank you
Defence Forces Staff Band, based in Oslo. Close to where Angelina lived som so probably popped in for rehersal. They were 200 years old, made a record ('It's magic') and invited AJ to sing. They made one concert/celebraition at Akershus Medeaval Castle in Oslo City Centre with primeminister and other celebreties present. There is another video out where the band celebraithed AJ's 12th birthday (6 years ago today). Plus there is one video from backstage of the concert also on UA-cam.
Amazing power & she's only 12 yo in this!
It’s incredible isn’t it!
Unchained Melody (AJ, at the age of 17 performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony December 2023 in Oslo, Norway.)I watched as Angelina Jordan stepped onto the stage, her presence commanding attention. The room hushed, anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate thread. She stood there, a young girl with an old soul, ready to weave magic with her voice.
As the first notes of "Unchained Melody" filled the room, time seemed to slow. Angelina's voice wrapped around each word, infusing them with a depth that transcended mere lyrics. It was as though the song had been written for her, and her alone.
The audience held its breath as she sang. Her voice soared, reaching heights that touched the heavens. The pain and longing in her eyes mirrored the emotions in the song-the heartache, the yearning. It was more than a performance; it was a revelation.
The chorus came, and Angelina's voice swelled, filling every corner of the room. " Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch," she sang, and suddenly, we all did. The magic in her performance was like nothing we had ever experienced in our lives. The lyrics came alive and had meaning as they flowed through us.
In that moment, Angelina Jordan became a vessel for something greater-an embodiment of love itself. Her voice carried us beyond our own pain and loneliness. We felt connected-to her, to each other, to something intangible yet profound.
As she held that final note, time snapped back into place. The applause erupted-a thunderous acknowledgment of what we had just witnessed. But it wasn't just applause; it was gratitude-for allowing us to glimpse love through Angelina's eyes.
And so, we stood there, hearts full, tears in our eyes. Angelina Jordan had given us something rare-a reminder that love exists even in our brokenness. And for those few minutes, we believed it with every fiber of our being. ©

Aw thank you so much for such a wonderful comment - Happy New Year to you!
Angelina Jordan is the Goddaughter Of Soul. She takes the best of James Brown's emotion and her own amazing technique and blends it into an outstanding cover. I love her belting: it's powerful and rich at the same time. Also, she seasons a line or two with some funky "aaah" vowels that make me shiver inside. Great analysis, Nina! More AJ! :)
Critiquing twelve year old Angelina’s stunning performance is easy. She is simply the best of the best.
Back for the 8-9th time 💕

Aw thank you so much and a Happy New Year to you!
So who are Nos. 1 & 2? You can tell me in the chat... Anyway, Nina is up there with the very best in the game...
Incredible performance. Just look how relaxed Angelina was throughout! Incredible and as you say, so enjoyable, maybe even one of the best covers of this song. To have been there!
One of my most favourite AJ's performance. Thank you for your very professional analysis. Like you said ....."She just drawn us in....."
Just an incredible version , what a brilliant star. Lovely reaction.
Thank you!
👍👍🤩🤩👍👍
You forgot to mention how impressive it is that she did this at 12 years old! Not yet in middle school,a pre-teen. Just amazing!

Great reaction Nina .... as always ! Happy New Year to you and yours, Gilles from France 🇨🇵🎶🎙️😉
Hi, Nina! Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina. There was no official recording of this concert, and we are extremely lucky that Boris Palenovski, an Angelina Superfan was present throughout to record everything and upload them to his UA-cam channel.
Did you notice the second clarinet player throw back his head in complete astonishment when Angelina began to sing, and then had a large grin on his face?
Oh I’ll have to watch it again to catch that! Thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Thank you! 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Nuestra pequeñina es ya toda una mujer, 18 años hoy🎉🎂
Hi Nina I'm a big fan of yours and I love how you react to Angelina plus you're a great singer yourself and I've listened to some of your songs on UA-cam you are really good
#angelinajordan
Sei brava e competente,noi Angels della prima ora ti ringraziamo.
12 years old... how???
Nina, great reaction to an amazing performance by a singer of any age, but at just twelve! When you react to Angelina contribution to the Nobel Prize ceremony, keep in mind they she is singing to the recipient’s two teenage children who hadn’t seen their mom for several years since she was imprisoned by Iran over her advocacy for women’s rights. The daughter has concluded the sentence (I believe 16 yrs and several dozen lashes) has become a life sentence and they will never see her again. In an interview they said she was fighting to make Iran a better place for them.
The song Angelina sings is most often thought of as a beautiful, love song by The Righteous Brothers, when actually it was a 1930’s?? instrumental chosen as the theme for the 1955 prison movie, “Unchained”. The lyrics were written for the movie and sung by one of the prisoners doing time knowing he could escape but that would most certainly prolong the time away from his loved ones as he would be forever on the run or caught and sentenced to additional time. It’s almost as if Angelina is channeling the imprisoned Iranian activist when singing to her children. At the end of the song you’ll notice how during the applause, Angelina looks over at the twin son and daughter to acknowledge them with a smile of love with her hand over her heart.
12 year old Angel 😳 !!!! 💖
At first, happy new year to you and thanks for your great reaction.even it's angelinas birthday, you should go to james thiel account and react to the video he made with angelina and the angelinettes. He made this video and i guess, it deserves a reaction.
you have to listen to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road AGT Champions and of the best from Angelina Best from Norway !
Hi Nina! I hope you have the happiest New Year.
Aw thank you, you too! ❤
Hi Nina great reaction to our girl Angelina she's 18 today and I hope you will react to more of her songs cuz we love her of course and I hope you do too
Absolutely! Thanks for watching 😊
Angelina... She's angelica voice... amazing
And thank's your reacting but i recommend you to react Cakra khan sing this song too...
❤❤❤
Angelina at 12 years old with a commanding stage presence! Her vocals are immaculate especially when you hear a live performance and this was from a cellphone as no other cameras were allowed! This entire concert was outstanding and the songs are from her album It’s Magic produced when she was 11! There are numerous behind the scenes and rehearsal videos for this album on Grandma Mery’s UA-cam channel! She knocked this out of the park, what a professional! This was at the 200th anniversary of The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvarets Stabmusuikkorps)! See what the orchestra did for her 12th birthday! ua-cam.com/video/GsRD10wDLss/v-deo.html 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯
You have got to give a reaction to Christina Aguilera SLAYS The First Show Of Her New Residency
Around this time, around 12 AJ really had arrived at a special place with her voice. It would be very interesting to hear her do this tune now at 18, it would be great of course, but it would not have the same timbre.
❤❤❤
Good timing, AJ turns 18 years old today =)
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊
Having seen film of this being performed by James Brown, 'the hardest working man in show business', you have wonder at Angelina's response : Whats so hard about this?
It's AJ's world from now on !!!
You should react to AJ’s cover of Unchained Melody that she performed a few weeks ago at a Nobel Peace Prize event. It is a must see.
To follow up, you should watch Angelina sing 'Everest'. She opened her 2022 concerts with this piece. But I should warn you--it's like eating one potato chip: you can't stop with just one.

I think she out James Browned, James Brown.
Great comments! (In "Corps," the "ps" is silent. Pronounced the same as "core," not "corpse.")
👍
This seems like something Postmodern Jukebox would be doing. Bring on Hayley Reinhart
When you watch it again, when she sings that last section, watch the conductor do a double take-she surprised even him! That’s another thing about Angelina-she hardly ever sings a song the same way twice.
Nina , you really need to check out her latest retention of unchained melody from the Nobel peace prze awards , with the kork orchestra just a few weeks ago
Yes I definitely will 😊
👸👍🇬🇧💕
