    9 year old Angelina Jordan controlling the room, delivering her own arrangement of Screamin J Hawkin’s I Put A Spell On You and delivering, to my mind, the greatest musical performance by a 9 year ever..indeed, you just witnessed greatness!😁 Tip, at the age of ten and beyond her age is irrelevant.

    While no one can argue, Christina Aguilera had a powerful voice as a child. Angelina is not a belter, she is a story teller. She was around her 9th birthday for this performance and she created her own arrangement for it. Her vocal choices, her phrasing and timing are stellar. Angelina has set a new standard for what is possible by a child vocalist. The only things which exceed her musical talents, are her humility and empathy.
    *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

      Actually there are several notable songs where she belts. So it's more accurate to say she never shows off. Her delivery totally is in service to the emotion of the song. She obviously feels that belting is not the best vehicle for most emotions. Angelina is the real deal, an artist. Her vocals are not ego driven, they serve her god given musicality.

    Just a reminder in case you've missed somebody details,...
    Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
    She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she is now graduating school. She has just released her new original single from Republic Records, and a new EP of originals is scheduled for early summer. A world tour is apparently in the works for the fall.
    Here is comprehensive playlist of approximately 191 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The first dozen or so are originals and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically.
    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.

      ​ @Kent Nielsen Lose the presumptuous arrogance, dear Kent.
      A while back, Angelina conducted a survey on Patreon to determine a suitable name for her fanbase. While I cannot recall all the suggested options, I do remember that one of the proposals was "Angels." Regrettably, Angelina's team purged her Patreon site last year, so the original post has been removed. Nevertheless, I have retained several emails via Patreon from her, wherein she affectionately referred to her fans as 'Angels'. An example would be:
      "I just want to say I appreciate each one of you for supporting me sooooo much. 💕 I am blessed to have you as my angels 💕💕💕💕"

      @Kent Nielsen Dear Kent, your delightful characterization of us as 'toxic' and 'passive-aggressive,' well, is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black, wouldn't you say? I've read many of your "good-natured" comments on these kinds of videos. Comments that you so diligently keep on deleting.
      With every comment you disagree with and every reply you have gotten, you've decided "we" are lying to ourselves, not being genuine, and taken it personally and gotten combative. Why shouldn't anybody repay the favor, dear Kent?
      Regarding the poll, it seems we've stumbled upon the ancient chicken or the egg conundrum. Almost four years ago, Angelina decided to assign her fanbase a name and kindly solicited suggestions. The title "Angels" emerged from Angelina's own choice. She took the reins and christened her fanbase "Angels" deliberately.
      Your claim that "Angels" predated her poll is, at best, a speculative assumption. The fact is, Angelina chose the name, and it was her decision that made it official.

    A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
    She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss. Angelina, in my opinion, is a talent that happens once in a hundred years, or maybe once in a lifetime (some say that it is a gift from God), but I do not know from which, let's thank everyone.

  • @robertsilva631

    Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that 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

    Now you know why there are so many Angels who commented for your first Angelina song. She’s the best singer I’ve ever heard, and I think most Angels agree. And I realized that when Angelina was 12. She will blow you away again and again in completely different genres. Her voice, her musicality, and especially her interpretation of lyrics sets her apart from every other singer for me.
    There are dozens and dozens of songs that I could recommend, but it really doesn’t matter. Pick any title, any genre, any age from age 7 to now 17. Since you sound like you’re from the UK, I’ll suggest her cover of Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road. Watch what Angelina, at 13, can do. ua-cam.com/video/HjsM3puKPrs/v-deo.html

If you haven't checked out all 4 of her" Norway's Got Talent" performances, I suggest you go back to when she was 7 & 8 yrs. old and you will see that she has always grasped music with her musicality and connection to the meaning of very adult songs.

    Yeah..Angelina made history here for sure!! 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).

    Thank you for featuring Angelina again, 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.
    Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her 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.

    This is where we drop the 🎤🎤... 🤯🔥🤯🔥🤯🔥🤯🔥😂😂. 'Nuff said, nothing we can say will suffice... She defies comparisons, tags and/or labels... This child is gifted... Wait till you hear, see how she's grown INTO that beautifully delicate butterfly or blossomed into a rare flower... Like I said, on the count of 3, we all should drop our imaginary 🎤's... PEACE❤

    Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina.
    Let’s analyze the video:
    1st you see how small and cute she is.
    2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
    3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
    4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
    5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
    6th the old soul in her voice.
    She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.

    HEHEHE I guess some of us Angels should have tried to warn you, but then again, maybe we did! Personally, for me, this was actually my second song has well when I first discovered her when I first saw her perform Bohemian Rhapsody as well. Al it took were a couple of songs and I was immediately hooked! Enjoying your reactions and hope to see more reactions from you to our Barefoot Angel! Keep up the great work!

    Hello James, she is our "Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". You now know two of her voices. Enjoy the remaining 998.
    See her lower and higher range:
    - How great thou art 13 years old - ua-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/v-deo.html - well known by Elvis
    - I have nothing 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html - Whitney Houston cover
    Since the beginning of last year (2022) Angelina has reached a new level with her voice. The first song I heard with this "new" voice is an Elvis cover and a reminiscence to Elvis.
    - Suspicious Minds 16 years old - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - Elvis Presley Cover - she is on the next level
    --------------------------------------
    I recommend a new artist to you - AURORA. She is also from Norway.
    AURORA (Aurora Aksnes) was born on June 15, 1996 in Stavanger, Norway. She is a singer, songwriter and producer with a style all her own.
    AURORA's songs always have a strong message. Often the messages are not very clear either. They can be interpreted so that many people can relate them to themselves. Her movements when singing are extraordinary. This isn't a dance. This is her special way of expression. You can also say that she sings with her whole body. Her excellent music, her brilliant voice and her movements. AURORA's live performances are a total work of art. She is often so into the song that she shakes her body or head uncontrollably (--> Murder song, It happened quiet) and need 2-3 seconds to come back.
    She is capable of transporting feelings because she allows a look into her soul. Her fans call themselves warriors and weirdos.
    AURORA is not entirely unknown. Her channel has over 5 million subscribers and the 78 videos on this channel have over 1.3 billion views. Do you know the Disney movie Frozen 2? AURORA is the siren call in the song "Into the Unknown".
    AURORA once said: People tend to believe quite quickly that something is wrong with them if they're not like the people they see in front of them
    It's so sad that it doesn't take much for us to really doubt ourselves
    - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) - ua-cam.com/video/ncG9zTzsisE/v-deo.html - she sang in norway's biggest cathedral - phenomenal acoustics
    - Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert - ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html - the saddest love song I've ever heard
    - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) - ua-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/v-deo.html - it's about the rape of a woman - some say - these great harmonies
    Enjoy the music

    The comparison with CA does not fit what we see here .When you look to CA at nine you se a little girl talented but playing a role, playing "soul", well coached like many others. With AJ it's quite different , here is a true natural, not only talented, but genius. Here is an authentic and unique personality . Miss Aguilera is talented quite ok in itself. But a voice like so many in that mainstream lot.
    She is truly "one in a life time" I would certainly not say this of those ladies you mention.
