This was my favorite reaction so far! Thank you all for you many initial comments and super positive feedback. I REALLY enjoyed this performance and providing my analysis. If you want to continue supporting me on this journey...buy me a coffee? buymeacoffee.com/aaronreacts
I don’t know if anyone else commented on this, but for me, besides her technical expertise, is the fact that she touches my heart. She creates an emotional response in me, where she controls my mood, from laughter to tears. Technically perfect? No, but it matters not.
Part of what many of us love about Angelina are her perfect imperfections. It is something that makes her so much more _real_ to us than many other singers.
There's another video of her in the studio singing this when she's 12. Sings a line, looks at Grandma to see if it was OK, does another line, looks at Grandma again. It's extremely cute, as if she's doubting herself and double checking with Grandma.
An explanation is in order. The “enhanced sound” version is actually the final audio for the studio recorded version of the song. They were essentially matched up perfectly (by Rusty Shackleford). This video as a stand alone performance is beautiful, but to really get a true sense of Angelina’s unbelievable talent, the cellphone recording of this audio with Grandma Mery in the booth with Angelina is truly phenomenal. The orchestral accompaniment on the original is muffled because it’s coming from outside of the booth, and Angelina’s intimate voice is exactly how Mery’s cellphone picked it up. Here’s the link to the original with the original in-the-booth audio! 🖤💙💙🖤 “Original” as recorded by grandma Mery: m.ua-cam.com/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/v-deo.html&pp=2AEBkAIBygUsQW5nZWxpbmEgam9yZGFuIGknbSBhIGZvb2wgdG8gd2FudCB5b3UgY292ZXI%3D Here’s the “enhanced audio” version for comparison: m.ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html&pp=ygUsQW5nZWxpbmEgam9yZGFuIGknbSBhIGZvb2wgdG8gd2FudCB5b3UgY292ZXI%3D
@@poolhallshark 12 when they performed it live though....now that rendition is spectacular...I'd love to hear a professionally recorded version of that...
Thank you Aron , it's fine to critique her , the master was just waiting for the body to catch up, no other artists touch me in anyway like Angelina it is an undefinable thing that you experience with the heart ,it is everything she is ,if I reduce it to simply say she is the embodiment of unconditional love and that is woven through everything then it is her voice or I should say voices as there are many many constantly multiplying and evolving , it colours everything she says and does ,she has become along with her family . family to us, she is adored like a granddaughter or daughter or sister or someone you would trust your heart with , I have listened to her every day since I discovered her this, has never happened before through a lifetime of artists , It is not comparable to anyone else, she has been an endless joy and a permanent light in my heart, 💜👣💎
Angelina has an absolute understanding of the lyrics of every song she sings. Angelina is all about love and she finds the love in every song and interprets that love and it sometimes varies from the original artist's interpretation. The x's and o's are certainly subject to analysis but the love in her heart is something we can only marvel at. It grabs our attention to such a degree we feel it in our own hearts. She works very hard at her trade and her ability to communicate her feelings of love to us with a voice which is literally out-of-this-world combine to put us in a state of awe WHICH NEVER ENDS. When you sit back and get ready to listen to her sing another song, whatever your expectations might have been, after 'one note' she already has you in her pocket and off you go into Angelina's world WHICH IS ALL ABOUT LOVE. Aaron, I know it will never happen but I would love to chat about her with you. I thought of the following scenario: If you and I were riding on a bus, talking all the while and totally unknown to us the bus pulled into it's final destination. The bus driver turned off the motor and walked back to us (the only remaining passengers on the bus) and told us, "I don't where you two guys are going, or wanted to go, but this is the end of the line!"
If she had sung that song with a band as often as Billie Holiday did, her vibratos would match perfectly. She has a Lambrghini voice and is driving on a learners permit at this stage in her career. In others words, she's got a fast car as is just learning how to drive safely and smoothly at this point. She has all of a week of her public singing career under her belt.
Thank you. I do check out the others, and they are very good, but they don’t amaze or captivate me, through many songs, again and again. Some are great once or twice and ok the rest of the time. Angelina is consistently great.
I was about to say the same thing, those other singers mentioned are all extremely talented, but somehow Angelina goes straight to my heart when others don't.
Singing is about resonance to our hearts 💕 and always finds the right frequency to get it back from her audience. That's why she is better at Life performing and she is getting so happy 😊 and we as the listeners too. My music is bigger than me ❤
Her penultimate performance on NGT ("Bang, Bang") and final performance ("Summertime") are essentially her intro to the world as a professional performer, as you will see . . . . AJ moved from a very talented 7-year-old with enormous potential to a completely confident "seasoned" singer in a matter of months during the course of this show.
This performance makes clear that, by this point in her life, Angelina was absolutely a prodigy with respect to jazz vocals. She's just an extremely rare talent.
Many of us " Angels " agree that you are our favorite Angelina's reactor About emulating Billie Holiday, please dont forget I Put a Spell on You. You will also hear and feel her versatility in the next two songs Bang Bang and Summertime, and of course in the next hundreds of videos you will have the privilege of listening to.
I am thoroughly enjoying your technical analysis of this beautiful child's amazing talent. No one should expect at this age for her to be perfect, amazing is good enough. And whatever she is doing, she always tugs at my heart...and that being an overly gentle representation of her effect on my soul.
The release dates are not hard set as they were transfered to UA-cam given their timing. They were posted by the organizers. We know she was 7 for the first performance. She was most likely 8-year-old at this point judging by her teeth. Angelina began arranging her performances from the beginning. She's well known for not only arranging the lyrics, as well as the music. Judge Omer Bhatti observed her arranging the piece for her accompanying musician, and he said he now fully saw her at work, as a pro. 🎉🎉🎉 If you want to see what a scant 4 years made, she performed this piece for her first album at 12-years-old. Skip ahead to this one as the first is fresh in your mind. I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU, ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.htmlsi=k8Tkil_lrhGjSp3D
Why is it selfish to listen to a musical genius, Angelina is so special and talented, she has a beautiful silvery vibrato and a beautiful soulful jazzy pitch perfect voice, she is the perfect vocalist and is known by her fans as the Queen of jazz with a thousand different styles and voices, I’ve attended 4 of Angelina’s live concerts, her stage presence is outstanding her live vocals phenomenal, Angelina is probably the most talented artist today, !
Yep...There's good or great singers out there. And of course music is pretty much subjective to one's ears...But for me, Angelina is enough for me. I feel she's the best and can't imagine ( these days ) of anyone else can be any better...Besides, in my opinion, most singers sounds gimmicky to me with auto tune and such, while Angelina is pure and true...I'm 60 with a lifetime of enjoying many singers of different genre, and I have never ever praised any singers so highly and strongly as Angelina ..Sorry, I kind of fib there a bit, I have praised highly of Elvis and The Beatles. No one since those two, until Angelina came along lol
Your right that's me she is the only one that I care anything about I will listen to the classics queen righteous brothers led Zeppelin and others but Angelina is the only one I care about wild bill angel 😇 since 2016
👣I guess meny of us are well aware of other great singers and musicians out there, and we do listen to some of them - every now and then - but following our precious barefoot princess, is what we have become adicted to through the years. She has influenced our life through our heart and soul, and even revitalized our life with music in a way that is more or less unexplainable. Even at 10 years old I think, Angelina had already been doing songs from every singel decade since the 1930s. She has covered great classics from all our life time, almost no mather what age we might be today. She has sung our life of music. And within her turning 13, she also had provided us with 3 original songs. Then, from 13 and until her courrent 18 yo, she has been blowing us away, almost on a weekly bases. By putting her voice into all her new creative covers, and her amazing bunch of original songs. To me, there is no other quite like Angelina👣 🎼🎶🎵🎵🎶🤗🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵
Maybe because I struggled with it at this age as a pianist, but I was impressed that she kept accurate time throughout this performance. Even a very experienced singer would have trouble keeping the same tempo in a competition with judges and cameras focusing on her. Most kids tend to speed up as the song goes along. Along with the pitch, she just doesn't seem to ever struggle with such things. Even when she is older and adds more vocal gymnastics she never seems to be applying any effort, the music just flows out of her.
Another incredibly important reaction for us Angelina fans. I believe the she was still 7 when this was recorded, but some think she had just turned 8. I assume it takes a while to organise live shows, so a significant time gap between recorded auditions and live performances makes sense. A large part of her appeal, it has to be said, is to see a little child with immense talent grow before our eyes into a superstar singer. Watching these early pieces, one can feel the later mature singer struggling inside the little body, desperate to get out and show herself. Indeed, listening to this performance one can almost hear Billie Holiday's voice emanating from somewhere beyond. Speaking personally, I am captivated by Angelina because she evokes an emotional response in me I have NEVER experienced with any other singer. The quality of her technical ability is what facilitates that, but it is that connection with the soul that makes me keep coming back to her. (Maybe I'm a fool, too, but I have no complaints!)
Angelina an eight year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy, in her element and completely blows people’s minds! Tackles this song a cappella with perfect pitch and timing IMHO! Her transitions are flawless! Smiles at the end and walks off stealing people’s hearts! See her at 11 years old in studio rehearsal I’m A Fool To Want You! ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.htmlsi=cm7QnDNNW4c-oiy0 Billie Holidays and Angelina Jordan Mashup I’m A Fool To Want You: ua-cam.com/video/Efnhyc6v9X4/v-deo.htmlsi=A_5D-NWm4T2GZz0H
If you put the sound track to the actual Billie Holiday recording to this acappella version by Angelina, you'll find she is dead spot on in her timing to the music. I'm not talking close, but absolutely perfect timing to the music, a Masterclass performance at 7 years old.
OMG ! Thank you, thank you ! For years I've wanted someone to use pitch and vocal analysis tools with Angelina's performances. Numerous time I've argued with "reactors" claiming she's using pitch correction and autotune software. Specifically one claimed her vibrato and sustained pitches were electronically enhanced with, I Put A Spell On You Again, thank you.
Oh wow, really? I'm not going to speak negatively about others (ahem ?!?! ?!?!) so all I'm going to say is It's one of a few things: 1) they are uneducated (not their fault) 2) in disbelief (when you have Mozart of today performing in front of you, how can you not?) 3) A conspiracy theorist (you know the kind - where EVERYTHING is a conspiracy) I'm the first two cases, it is excusable. In the latter, I want to just virtually slap them lol. To me, it's literally as if she listens and listens and practices and listens and tries to perfect every little inflection, nuance, timing, intonation, mouth placement, breathing, on and on and on. And to get it like 97% of the way to Billie at this age is ASTONISHING
@@A-AronReactsat some rehearsals filming of her grandma you can see how she practices this again and again. Unstoppable from a chickenpox she had between the audition and this one. There was no Angelina without BH she said in an interview
After your 100+ Angelina reactions I wanted to go back and rewatch some of tour early reactions of little Angelina. It's hard to believe this tiny little girl is the same person we saw in LA in September only 10 years later. She's so adorable and this performance is so hauntingly beautiful. It still gives me chills watching this. 🥰
The only reason you are able to notice the few perfect imperfection is because she was confident and good enough to sing this acapella which completely exposed any and all weaknesses. Something other don't have the guts to do.
"Never argue with a fool... On looker's may not be able to tell the difference.!!!" - Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide... "Hello - Aron"
I was so blown away by her pitch control... I wonder if she has perfect pitch.. it just seems nearly impossible for someone at this age to keep pitch with all these vocal jumps she is making... amazing
MY FAVORITE NGT performance !!! Adorable. These were recorded.I think since late september on the first 12 closer to january february march on the others... This one she may still be seven just before turning eight, Or maybe just turned eight I don't know if they were prerecorded but I think they were. My guess is they would have probably whittled down the crowd in december, Making her seven years, eleven months old. Is some expert from Norway out?There might know better. I have watched all the demons video clips and family clips since age five and he did have the advantage of a very talented family a music producer father and an opera singer mother. Angelina was on her own, Was a great cheerleading squad behind her
There is a statement from one of the judges that they thought exactly what you were saying about just emulating a singer until they walked into the next performance where Angelina was giving instructions to the guitar player on how she wanted it.
You got it right the videos were published months after they were recorded. She was 7 during the first audition gloomy sunday and again in the one you're reacting to here, the next 2 Bang Bang and Summertime she was 8. Even in her own channel many videos were released months if not years after being recorded. Also if you want to compare with an older Angelina singing the same song here you are, this is her at 12 : ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html
She put this on her album at 11yr old. When you do it do the version with the instrumentation, as there is an a capella version as well. The video is the take for the album so it matches up perfectly. It is one of my favorites and I think you will be stunned at what 4 yrs does. I think Billie came back and jumped into AJ for this one. I enjoy your breakdowns as you add a technical bent to her progression. As with many others, at times, I wish I could do this journey over again with her music.
This is the first song I ever heard Angelina sing. She started singing and I burst into tears, because no 7-8 year old should be able to do this. And do it this well. About the tears thing, I have a quirk in my brain. I don't get chills or goosebumps, I cry. I have been that way since I was 5. Imagine the fun I had in jr. high and high school!! Back to Angelina I also had a dramatic reaction to another very young singer named Daneliya Tuelshova who was 10 at the time of her first big exposure. While Angelina's first big break out was the viral 'Gloomy Sunday' when she was 7. Daneliya is actually 6 months younger that Angelina. Oh Daneliya is from Kazakhstan, but moved to U.S. two weeks after her 16th birthday in July 2022. She got a permanent Green Card that puts her on track to become an American citizen. Angelina and 95% of her family moved to the U.S. when Angelina was 12. I predict big things from both of these young lady's. I should have told you I have terminal ADHD. But you might have already been able to tell that. I am going to give you Angelina singing this same song just 3 years later. Only this time she has a full orchestra behind her, and she is then 11 years old. ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html Angelina 11-12 'I'm A Fool To Want You'.
The live part of the competition she had turn eight, but the first, at least Gloomy Sunday and this one was recorded in the autumn before she turned 8. As a Norwegian we were blown away watching the show
Here is this acapella performance combined with Billie Holiday's backing track. See how great her pitch and timing are. ANGELINA JORDAN (7) Acapella "I'm a Fool to Want You" + BILLIE HOLIDAY ORIGINAL backing track!!! ua-cam.com/video/0V6y8Nv5uRo/v-deo.html
The February date that you have for Gloomy Sunday is the broadcast date. As with most of these types of shows the auditions are prerecorded and shown at a later date. Her Gloomy Sunday audition performance was taped in late 2013 when she was still 7. In the other 3 performances she had already turned 8.
Just keep in mind the date videos are posted are not the date they are recorded. Could be years apart. As she said, her first audition she was at seven years old !😇🌺
THIS GONNA BE GOOD ! little Angelina A Cappella, with the competition standing right behind her... gonna be good... time to see A-Aron mind blown 🤣 😆 😇Jim
The correct dates for her performances on the NGT can be documented and are as follows: The audition "Gloomy Sunday": January 25th (on TV March 7th) The Judges' Cut "I'm a Fool ...": February 7th (on TV March 28th) Semifinal "Bang, bang": April 11th (sent directly) Final "Summertime": May 23rd (sent directly) So, yes, she is 8 with two weeks on the audition, and the great question is why she presents herself as 7. Perhaps her little introduction in the high chair was written or even recorded at 7, (pre-casts were held two weeks earlier just around her 8th birthday), and to avoid confusion she kept to that age? Or there may be other explanations. But none of this is significant. Her performance is outstanding regardless of being 7 or 8.
About the amount of air or breathiness you accurately heard and your prediction that she will lose that when she gets older: you're in for a surprise. And I predict a pleasant surprise. Good reaction and analysis. Her rendition of this same song live in the studio at age 11 is one you won't want to miss. The audio quality is extremely good. Still channeling Billie Holiday, but much improved. I'd provide the link for you, but I suspect it will be a while before you get to it.
She recorded same song with music at age 11 or 12 and there was on UA-cam mashup of musical track from that recording and this Acapella singing. For my very untrained ear it matched perfectly.
Apparently she had been pestering her family to let her enter NGT, where the minimum age was 7 - so she was allowed to enter once she reached that age. In this one she was still 7 (evidence: the state of her adult teeth popping out all over the place). We know she had turned 8 by the time she won NGT, but probably only barely...
D8mash Parents are the Best Voice Coaches & Music Teachers n the worLd. No One Taught AngeLina How 2 Sing Like That. They Had No idea Where She Gets it From. She cLoses Her Eyes & invites the oLd SouLs Nside 🍾🍹🍷👍
As great as this remarkable a'capella performance is, her performing it later on in life while doing a rehearsal in a sound booth is the one performance that best illustrates all the improvisational elements she has adopted from her musical mentor Billie Holiday, that you hear whenever she performs heartfelt ballads. They include elements like Billie's signature style 'breathy', 'whisper-like' releases, her going from talking to singing within lyrical lines, and a plethora of other inflections, phrasing and nuance that are mind boggling. That one later rendition helps us understand why Angelina said that, if not for Billie, there would be no Angelina Jordan today. Even the emotion she brings forth in these ballads are an emulation of the real life heartache Billie lived in life and brought to her singing. Angelina's ability to reproduce this emotion is what makes listeners believe that she has actually lived these heartaches in life, when of course she hasn't.
A-aron, just might keep in mind about mush of AJs pronunciation at her younger years. Since she is Norwegian (and not english) and since she pronounce the words as seen, and phonetically pronounced likely as well; she likely hasn't mispronounced some of the identified words. And you sometime, may notice that she pronounces USA as USA, appropriately enough, as too the word sew, pronouncing it as spelt, and not as "so", which is our English "pronunciation.." FYI incase you're wondering. Do enjoy the excitement in your reviews Rc
Some really talented person took this performance and synced it with the instrumental and she was in absolutely perfect pitch throughout......perfect. Eight years old.

In the video from the first song she sang, Gloomy Sunday, she introduced herself and said that she was seven yo. I’ve also heard that she turned eight just a few days before the finals but all the other songs she sang when she was seven. Maybe the recordings of the songs and the broadcasting could have different dates?
An amazing reaction! Angelina is such a phenomenal talent but we are learning so much about her development at this age and her vocal characteristics from this series of reactions. Please keep it up. Many also comment that we Angels feel so much emotion when she sings-unlike so many other artists. How do you define emotion in music that makes one tear up?😢 I can hardly wait for your review at age 10 with the band singing “ feeling good “. I hope you include it! Thank you🎉
I think the dates you showed were the air dates and the programs were taped a few weeks before airing. I’m pretty sure Gloomy Sunday was taped in November of 2013. Other commenters will correct me if I’m wrong.
Semi final and finale aired live cuz there was a public phone voting. Audition and this "judges cut round" where prerecorded and broadcast months/weeks later. Exact recording dates are disputed, but likely "Gloomy Sunday" was recorded Nov 24th, 2013 and this video recorded Feb 07th, 2014 or Jan 25th - so close past her 8th bday in any case.
Excellent reaction, my friend. It is a breath of fresh air to have a Reactor who knows jazz and has the ability to analysis a performance. Keep it up and you have a subscriber for life. For your information, here are the dates on which Angelina's Norway's Got Talent performances were recorded. Date of NGT performances Gloomy Sunday - 24 Nov 2013 (7 years 10 months 4 days) I'm a fool to want you -7 Feb 2014 (8 years 0 months 28 days) Bang Bang - 11 Apr 2014 - (8 years 3 months 1 day) Summertime - 23 May 2014 (8 years 4 months 13 days)
Yes! Those are the dates! She was 7 during her “Gloomy Sunday” performance, but she turned 8 for the remainder of her other spectacular performances. ❤️
One notice on her next on NGT, her voice is somewhat more mature, and her teeth are more in place! When she sings, she somehow, demands you to listen. Like it was when she read from her own book. she just have it!
Just shouldn't be possible to be this vocally advanced for someone around their 8th birthday. I enjoyed your reaction and I applaud you for recommending other great artists. I think Dimash is a great technical vocalist who can hit crazy high notes, but for me he has very little soul to his voice. Morrissette always makes me smile when I listen to her and I think has the perfect voice for Disney princess songs and she has covered many. Lara Fabian is a great storyteller and very emotional, like Angelina, and I enjoy listening to her from time to time. For me, Angelina has something special as her voice has a positive physical effect on me. It is like her voice is hugging my soul. There are two other artists I support and listen to a lot. The Warning is a power rock trio comprised of 3 sisters from Mexico, who are ages 24, 22 and 19. Their 4th album is due on June 28th. For a first reaction, I suggest their first ever music video, "XXI Century Blood". Their songs often warn us about the problems they see in the world. The other artist is The Sixsters, another all female band and they are from the Ukraine. Their latest song "Same Kid" is a great first reaction.
I may have given you this previously without explanation. The dual dates on GS are recording and airing. 7 years old NGT audition 2013-11-24 > 2014-03-07, ‘Gloomy Sunday’ (Billie Holiday): ua-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/v-deo.html (4:40) 7/8 years old NGT cut-off round, a cappella 2014-02-07, ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ (Billie Holiday): ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html (2:32) I believe this was posted online but never aired.
Enjoyed your analysis. Not that it matters, but Angelina is known for her ability to cover a song having only briefly heard the original. Many examples but one that comes to mind is a Tic Tok version of Adele's Easy On Me that Angelina performed only hours after the original was released.
Thanks and not at all surprised. But I'll bet this occurs later. I'm still learning about her so I could be wrong but if I were a betting person I would put money on it... She has an obsession at this age and studies and learns like crazy. That's a GOOD THING. So yeah I still believe very firmly (speculation of course) that she listened over and over and over and over again to Billie Holiday version emulating EVERYTHING
@@A-AronReacts Thus it was. She explained in an interview shortly before semi-final that she had been listening to the greats (and had named some of them) for at least five years - since she was two years old.
I know you are going to in order but you don’t want to forget to listen to “I’m a fool to want you” when she’s 11 years old and I’d rather be blind when she’s I think 12 or 13. Another must hear song is I’m still holding out for you at age 10. Angelina arranges all the songs she sings. You will grow to learn how versatile she is. You say she emulates and maybe when she was young she did. She studies the song extensively and she doesn’t emulate but pays tribute to the artist that did it the best with her own twist. She does however have many different styles and voices. After the age of 10 she does not cover songs, she uncovers their potential very often doing much better than the original artist. You’re doing a great job. Somewhat unconventional but good. Unconditional is certainly not a bad thing. Keep up the great work. Good luck my friend.
This girl has ultra perfect pitch. Even on her interviews when asked to sing impromptu it is piano perfect. Check this performance for yourself. Love your reactions Aron , they are first rate!!
Aron: Thank you for all the AJ reactions so far, I have subscribed so I can continue this journey with you, but unfortunately (for you), though, what Angelina gives us you can't get from any other singer in this life time hence (most of us) will be faithful to your channel as long as you continue reacting to her, she can't be compared with any other singer.
Someone put a backing track to this performance and it sounded like Jordan was actually singing to the track her timing was so accurate. What goes on in that prodigal brain of hers must be something to behold! I guess she sees and hears the music in her head and then opens her mouth and out it comes for the world to appreciate. Lucky us!
She can be seen rehearsing this song with an instrumental track in this video: ua-cam.com/video/2a5BFtFb0EU/v-deo.html The fact that this was before her performance of the song on NGT can be deduced, IMO, from the appearance of her teeth. (Disregard the unrelated footage of her in the hallway at the beginning and end of the video: that was recorded significantly later.) The manner in which she is singing the song is, if you ask me, a little closer to the way Billie sang it (compared to her performance for the show). Notice that she is reading along with the lyrics and she still sings some of the words "wrong". The funny thing is, every single thing she sang "wrong" on the show she sang the same way in the rehearsal, except one thing that was different - and I can't actually remember now if it was something the sang right in the rehearsal and then wrong on the show or vice-versa. Given that she had the lyrics right in front of her face in the rehearsal, I think this strongly suggests that she was already very familiar with the song and simply chose to sing the words that she was used to singing without worrying about whether they were 100% correct. Many videos recorded well into her career make it obvious that of all the aspects of singing, the one she cares the least about is getting the words right.😊 (After around age 10 she was much better at getting the words right "when it mattered", like in TV appearances. But even as late as 12 when she would record "spontaneous" covers at home, she would often get certain words wrong, and that wouldn't prevent her from posting the results.)
Sorry I ran through the mash catalog before.I went to angelina and then switched solely to angelina.... Never in demosh's history between age 5 and 19 of singing.Had I heard him do anything relative to age like angelina does. Demash made a marked increase in talent capability range and everything else and showmanship at age twenty to twenty one. He is amazing and definitely a bucket list if he ever comes back to america. I have seen angelina and her first solo concert in new hampshire back in september twenty twenty three... ps::: I would marry laura fabian !!! PURE BEAUTY.
Very interesting and informative reaction: I would be very interested to see your reaction to her rendition of the same song at 11/12... very different (and not acapella) but also wonderful... With regard to your comment I am one that pretty much only listens to Angelina - if I am not listening to her I would rather listen to classical music.... not that there isn't a lot of great non-classical music in addition to Angelina, but I just don't feel inclined to find the time for it (a "me problem" I know...)
2014-02-07 is the date "I'm a Fool to Want You" was recorded (we know this mainly because of an article about the girl in the red dress standing behind Angelina). It was broadcast on 2014-03-28. And 2014-03-07 was the date "Gloomy Sunday" was broadcast. We still don't know for sure when it was recorded, but we can be 100% certain that it happened before IAFTWY based on the appearance of her teeth. If we assume Angelina was telling the truth about her age when she said she was 7, then it must have been recorded before 2014-01-10. The last two performances are much easier, because they were broadcast live on the dates you showed.
Even at this point...Age does not matter anymore. I know that is a factor for most reactors, but at some point the talent and the vocal prowess is what counts. This is an example of pitch perfect, perfect timing vocals from a little girl, singing A Cappella!!!!!! Try to analysis, rate it or whatever, it is what it is Aron, sometimes things are just beyond analysis and comprehension. Thanks for another enjoyable reaction...think this is like my 20.000 one in past 8 and 1/2 years of following her....lost track. Do love what you are doing though, something different. If you were to listen to Billy Holiday's version of this song, (Maybe you have already) you would have a new prospective I believe in what this child just did here...a suggestion.
This was my favorite reaction so far! Thank you all for you many initial comments and super positive feedback. I REALLY enjoyed this performance and providing my analysis. If you want to continue supporting me on this journey...buy me a coffee? buymeacoffee.com/aaronreacts
I don’t know if anyone else commented on this, but for me, besides her technical expertise, is the fact that she touches my heart. She creates an emotional response in me, where she controls my mood, from laughter to tears. Technically perfect? No, but it matters not.
Absolutely! My feelings, too.
I'm going to say it again. Angelina Jordan is a super genius.

Part of what many of us love about Angelina are her perfect imperfections. It is something that makes her so much more _real_ to us than many other singers.
As the consummate jazz singer that she is, 'Queen Of Perfect Imperfections' best describes Angelina.
There's another video of her in the studio singing this when she's 12. Sings a line, looks at Grandma to see if it was OK, does another line, looks at Grandma again. It's extremely cute, as if she's doubting herself and double checking with Grandma.
Yes, that's another fantastic performance from Angelina.
Yes, but please, the version without "enhanced" sound.
That was a masterpiece for any age. I love the whole " It's Magic" CD. ❤
An explanation is in order. The “enhanced sound” version is actually the final audio for the studio recorded version of the song. They were essentially matched up perfectly (by Rusty Shackleford). This video as a stand alone performance is beautiful, but to really get a true sense of Angelina’s unbelievable talent, the cellphone recording of this audio with Grandma Mery in the booth with Angelina is truly phenomenal. The orchestral accompaniment on the original is muffled because it’s coming from outside of the booth, and Angelina’s intimate voice is exactly how Mery’s cellphone picked it up.
Here’s the link to the original with the original in-the-booth audio!
🖤💙💙🖤
“Original” as recorded by grandma Mery:

I believe she’s actually 11 in that video. It’s for her It’s Magic CD which was released when she was 12 but recorded when she was 11
Just wait till you hear her 12 year old version of it. It is truly glorious!
Here Angelina is at the age of 12 same song try to note the difference in her voice. ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.htmlsi=Z6bHBhOLQOD2WDkd

She was actually 11 in that one 🙂 At least if you're thinking about the one where her grandmother is filming beside her.
@@poolhallshark 12 when they performed it live though....now that rendition is spectacular...I'd love to hear a professionally recorded version of that...
It wasn't allowed as Boris said @@grahamkelsey1675
Thank you Aron , it's fine to critique her , the master was just waiting for the body to catch up, no other artists touch me in anyway like Angelina it is an undefinable thing that you experience with the heart ,it is everything she is ,if I reduce it to simply say she is the embodiment of unconditional love and that is woven through everything then it is her voice or I should say voices as there are many many constantly multiplying and evolving , it colours everything she says and does ,she has become along with her family . family to us, she is adored like a granddaughter or daughter or sister or someone you would trust your heart with , I have listened to her every day since I discovered her this, has never happened before through a lifetime of artists , It is not comparable to anyone else, she has been an endless joy and a permanent light in my heart, 💜👣💎
Angelina has an absolute understanding of the lyrics of every song she sings. Angelina is all about love and she finds the love in every song and interprets that love and it sometimes varies from the original artist's interpretation. The x's and o's are certainly subject to analysis but the love in her heart is something we can only marvel at. It grabs our attention to such a degree we feel it in our own hearts. She works very hard at her trade and her ability to communicate her feelings of love to us with a voice which is literally out-of-this-world combine to put us in a state of awe WHICH NEVER ENDS. When you sit back and get ready to listen to her sing another song, whatever your expectations might have been, after 'one note' she already has you in her pocket and off you go into Angelina's world WHICH IS ALL ABOUT LOVE.
Aaron, I know it will never happen but I would love to chat about her with you. I thought of the following scenario: If you and I were riding on a bus, talking all the while and totally unknown to us the bus pulled into it's final destination. The bus driver turned off the motor and walked back to us (the only remaining passengers on the bus) and told us, "I don't where you two guys are going, or wanted to go, but this is the end of the line!"
If she had sung that song with a band as often as Billie Holiday did, her vibratos would match perfectly. She has a Lambrghini voice and is driving on a learners permit at this stage in her career. In others words, she's got a fast car as is just learning how to drive safely and smoothly at this point. She has all of a week of her public singing career under her belt.
Well said!
She's devastatingly good..Think about it, while girls of her age were playing dolls, she was chasing her life's dreams and goals, at THAT age..WOW!!
I've seen everything from Dimash and Lara. I don't follow them closely anymore. I follow and listen to Angelina daily.
You are right 👍Angelina is a different level. ❤❤❤
Thank you. I do check out the others, and they are very good, but they don’t amaze or captivate me, through many songs, again and again. Some are great once or twice and ok the rest of the time. Angelina is consistently great.
This is exactly what my comment would say as well.
I was about to say the same thing, those other singers mentioned are all extremely talented, but somehow Angelina goes straight to my heart when others don't.
Singing is about resonance to our hearts 💕 and always finds the right frequency to get it back from her audience. That's why she is better at Life performing and she is getting so happy 😊 and we as the listeners too. My music is bigger than me ❤
Her penultimate performance on NGT ("Bang, Bang") and final performance ("Summertime") are essentially her intro to the world as a professional performer, as you will see . . . . AJ moved from a very talented 7-year-old with enormous potential to a completely confident "seasoned" singer in a matter of months during the course of this show.
This performance makes clear that, by this point in her life, Angelina was absolutely a prodigy with respect to jazz vocals. She's just an extremely rare talent.
Many of us " Angels " agree that you are our favorite Angelina's reactor About emulating Billie Holiday, please dont forget I Put a Spell on You. You will also hear and feel her versatility in the next two songs Bang Bang and Summertime, and of course in the next hundreds of videos you will have the privilege of listening to.
I'm truly honored. Let's enjoy this journey 😍
I am thoroughly enjoying your technical analysis of this beautiful child's amazing talent. No one should expect at this age for her to be perfect, amazing is good enough. And whatever she is doing, she always tugs at my heart...and that being an overly gentle representation of her effect on my soul.
Go directly to the studio recording and you'll witness greatness...
The release dates are not hard set as they were transfered to UA-cam given their timing. They were posted by the organizers. We know she was 7 for the first performance. She was most likely 8-year-old at this point judging by her teeth. Angelina began arranging her performances from the beginning. She's well known for not only arranging the lyrics, as well as the music. Judge Omer Bhatti observed her arranging the piece for her accompanying musician, and he said he now fully saw her at work, as a pro.
🎉🎉🎉 If you want to see what a scant 4 years made, she performed this piece for her first album at 12-years-old. Skip ahead to this one as the first is fresh in your mind.

Your probably right, I think the little girl behind Angelina put her hands to her mouth to keep from saying .... We're all doomed !
Why is it selfish to listen to a musical genius, Angelina is so special and talented, she has a beautiful silvery vibrato and a beautiful soulful jazzy pitch perfect voice, she is the perfect vocalist and is known by her fans as the Queen of jazz with a thousand different styles and voices, I’ve attended 4 of Angelina’s live concerts, her stage presence is outstanding her live vocals phenomenal, Angelina is probably the most talented artist today, !
Lol...I knew when I Said that I'd catch heat for it. It's not and I'm sorry for suggesting it
A-A. Some people are just for Angelina alone. She also did this at 11, years old. Angelina Jordan is just Great
Yup.
Yep...There's good or great singers out there. And of course music is pretty much subjective to one's ears...But for me, Angelina is enough for me. I feel she's the best and can't imagine ( these days ) of anyone else can be any better...Besides, in my opinion, most singers sounds gimmicky to me with auto tune and such, while Angelina is pure and true...I'm 60 with a lifetime of enjoying many singers of different genre, and I have never ever praised any singers so highly and strongly as Angelina ..Sorry, I kind of fib there a bit, I have praised highly of Elvis and The Beatles. No one since those two, until Angelina came along lol
Your right that's me she is the only one that I care anything about I will listen to the classics queen righteous brothers led Zeppelin and others but Angelina is the only one I care about wild bill angel 😇 since 2016
👣I guess meny of us are well aware of other great singers and musicians out there, and we do listen to some of them - every now and then - but following our precious barefoot princess, is what we have become adicted to through the years. She has influenced our life through our heart and soul, and even revitalized our life with music in a way that is more or less unexplainable. Even at 10 years old I think, Angelina had already been doing songs from every singel decade since the 1930s. She has covered great classics from all our life time, almost no mather what age we might be today. She has sung our life of music. And within her turning 13, she also had provided us with 3 original songs. Then, from 13 and until her courrent 18 yo, she has been blowing us away, almost on a weekly bases. By putting her voice into all her new creative covers, and her amazing bunch of original songs. To me, there is no other quite like Angelina👣 🎼🎶🎵🎵🎶🤗🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵
She is more than enough! I don't even think about other singers now. I just listen to her ...... always.
She is great, but even greater with music in the studio at 11. Hope you get to that one. Good reaction and analysis.
Maybe because I struggled with it at this age as a pianist, but I was impressed that she kept accurate time throughout this performance. Even a very experienced singer would have trouble keeping the same tempo in a competition with judges and cameras focusing on her. Most kids tend to speed up as the song goes along. Along with the pitch, she just doesn't seem to ever struggle with such things. Even when she is older and adds more vocal gymnastics she never seems to be applying any effort, the music just flows out of her.
Definitely!
A masterful delivery despite having only half her teeth.
Another incredibly important reaction for us Angelina fans. I believe the she was still 7 when this was recorded, but some think she had just turned 8. I assume it takes a while to organise live shows, so a significant time gap between recorded auditions and live performances makes sense. A large part of her appeal, it has to be said, is to see a little child with immense talent grow before our eyes into a superstar singer. Watching these early pieces, one can feel the later mature singer struggling inside the little body, desperate to get out and show herself. Indeed, listening to this performance one can almost hear Billie Holiday's voice emanating from somewhere beyond. Speaking personally, I am captivated by Angelina because she evokes an emotional response in me I have NEVER experienced with any other singer. The quality of her technical ability is what facilitates that, but it is that connection with the soul that makes me keep coming back to her. (Maybe I'm a fool, too, but I have no complaints!)
Angelina an eight year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy, in her element and completely blows people’s minds! Tackles this song a cappella with perfect pitch and timing IMHO! Her transitions are flawless! Smiles at the end and walks off stealing people’s hearts! See her at 11 years old in studio rehearsal I’m A Fool To Want You! ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.htmlsi=cm7QnDNNW4c-oiy0

If you put the sound track to the actual Billie Holiday recording to this acappella version by Angelina, you'll find she is dead spot on in her timing to the music. I'm not talking close, but absolutely perfect timing to the music, a Masterclass performance at 7 years old.
OMG ! Thank you, thank you !
For years I've wanted someone to use pitch and vocal analysis tools with Angelina's performances. Numerous time I've argued with "reactors" claiming she's using pitch correction and autotune software. Specifically one claimed her vibrato and sustained pitches were electronically enhanced with, I Put A Spell On You
Again, thank you.
Oh wow, really? I'm not going to speak negatively about others (ahem ?!?! ?!?!) so all I'm going to say is It's one of a few things:
1) they are uneducated (not their fault)
2) in disbelief (when you have Mozart of today performing in front of you, how can you not?)
3) A conspiracy theorist (you know the kind - where EVERYTHING is a conspiracy)
I'm the first two cases, it is excusable. In the latter, I want to just virtually slap them lol.
To me, it's literally as if she listens and listens and practices and listens and tries to perfect every little inflection, nuance, timing, intonation, mouth placement, breathing, on and on and on.
And to get it like 97% of the way to Billie at this age is ASTONISHING
@@A-AronReacts Exactly 👍
@@A-AronReactsat some rehearsals filming of her grandma you can see how she practices this again and again. Unstoppable from a chickenpox she had between the audition and this one. There was no Angelina without BH she said in an interview
It's a real treasure to have a recording of an 8 year old Angelina singing I'm A Fool To Want You a cappella.
Yes it is!!!
After your 100+ Angelina reactions I wanted to go back and rewatch some of tour early reactions of little Angelina. It's hard to believe this tiny little girl is the same person we saw in LA in September only 10 years later. She's so adorable and this performance is so hauntingly beautiful. It still gives me chills watching this. 🥰
The only reason you are able to notice the few perfect imperfection is because she was confident and good enough to sing this acapella which completely exposed any and all weaknesses. Something other don't have the guts to do.
That was the rules of the audition. No accompaniments unless they are those of the performer, such as a guitar. Designed to weed out all but the best.
No doubt the other musicians you mentioned are very talented, but I don't FEEL the way Angelina makes me feel when I listen to them.
"Never argue with a fool... On looker's may not be able to tell the difference.!!!" - Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide... "Hello - Aron"
Angelina often slows a song down in order to wring all the color and emotion possible out of it.
I was so blown away by her pitch control... I wonder if she has perfect pitch.. it just seems nearly impossible for someone at this age to keep pitch with all these vocal jumps she is making... amazing
MY FAVORITE NGT performance !!! Adorable.
These were recorded.I think since late september on the first 12 closer to january february march on the others... This one she may still be seven just before turning eight, Or maybe just turned eight I don't know if they were prerecorded but I think they were. My guess is they would have probably whittled down the crowd in december, Making her seven years, eleven months old. Is some expert from Norway out?There might know better.
I have watched all the demons video clips and family clips since age five and he did have the advantage of a very talented family a music producer father and an opera singer mother.
Angelina was on her own, Was a great cheerleading squad behind her
There is a statement from one of the judges that they thought exactly what you were saying about just emulating a singer until they walked into the next performance where Angelina was giving instructions to the guitar player on how she wanted it.
You got it right the videos were published months after they were recorded. She was 7 during the first audition gloomy sunday and again in the one you're reacting to here, the next 2 Bang Bang and Summertime she was 8.
Even in her own channel many videos were released months if not years after being recorded.
Also if you want to compare with an older Angelina singing the same song here you are, this is her at 12 :
ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html
I followed the NGT 2014 and voted for her win. You are spot on. There were many selection program in the start. Love from Norway
She put this on her album at 11yr old. When you do it do the version with the instrumentation, as there is an a capella version as well. The video is the take for the album so it matches up perfectly. It is one of my favorites and I think you will be stunned at what 4 yrs does. I think Billie came back and jumped into AJ for this one. I enjoy your breakdowns as you add a technical bent to her progression. As with many others, at times, I wish I could do this journey over again with her music.
Thanks A-Aron. You're very educational without arrogance. See you at the next one ! 👍♥️
Thanks so much!
you're a fool. to want (more of) her...
But then I confess, so are all of us that love what she does
Lol
again AJ is beyond awesome even at age 7
This is the first song I ever heard Angelina sing. She started singing and I burst into tears, because no 7-8 year old should be able to do this. And do it this well. About the tears thing, I have a quirk in my brain. I don't get chills or goosebumps, I cry. I have been that way since I was 5. Imagine the fun I had in jr. high and high school!!
Back to Angelina I also had a dramatic reaction to another very young singer named Daneliya Tuelshova who was 10 at the time of her first big exposure. While Angelina's first big break out was the viral 'Gloomy Sunday' when she was 7. Daneliya is actually 6 months younger that Angelina. Oh Daneliya is from Kazakhstan, but moved to U.S. two weeks after her 16th birthday in July 2022. She got a permanent Green Card that puts her on track to become an American citizen. Angelina and 95% of her family moved to the U.S. when Angelina was 12. I predict big things from both of these young lady's.
I should have told you I have terminal ADHD. But you might have already been able to tell that.
I am going to give you Angelina singing this same song just 3 years later. Only this time she has a full orchestra behind her, and she is then 11 years old.
ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html Angelina 11-12 'I'm A Fool To Want You'.
If you keep following her you will find that she is one of the few singers who can record songs in one take She is remarkable singer and person.
The live part of the competition she had turn eight, but the first, at least Gloomy Sunday and this one was recorded in the autumn before she turned 8. As a Norwegian we were blown away watching the show
Here is this acapella performance combined with Billie Holiday's backing track. See how great her pitch and timing are.
ANGELINA JORDAN (7) Acapella "I'm a Fool to Want You" + BILLIE HOLIDAY ORIGINAL backing track!!!
ua-cam.com/video/0V6y8Nv5uRo/v-deo.html
Even better than I imagined! She's already 4th and inches to perfection at this age
Well done A-aron. She covers this song at age 11 in a live studio version. Probably the best Billie Holiday cover I have ever heard.
The February date that you have for Gloomy Sunday is the broadcast date. As with most of these types of shows the auditions are prerecorded and shown at a later date. Her Gloomy Sunday audition performance was taped in late 2013 when she was still 7. In the other 3 performances she had already turned 8.
The kids standing in the background watching, ought to go home after hearing Angelina.
Just keep in mind the date videos are posted are not the date they are recorded. Could be years apart.
As she said, her first audition she was at seven years old !😇🌺
We know she wasn’t perfect here but she does improve remarkably though-out this competition; four songs in total.
THIS GONNA BE GOOD ! little Angelina A Cappella, with the competition standing right behind her... gonna be good... time to see A-Aron mind blown 🤣 😆 😇Jim
Yes...it was
The correct dates for her performances on the NGT can be documented and are as follows:
The audition "Gloomy Sunday": January 25th (on TV March 7th)
The Judges' Cut "I'm a Fool ...": February 7th (on TV March 28th)
Semifinal "Bang, bang": April 11th (sent directly)
Final "Summertime": May 23rd (sent directly)
So, yes, she is 8 with two weeks on the audition, and the great question is why she presents herself as 7. Perhaps her little introduction in the high chair was written or even recorded at 7, (pre-casts were held two weeks earlier just around her 8th birthday), and to avoid confusion she kept to that age? Or there may be other explanations. But none of this is significant. Her performance is outstanding regardless of being 7 or 8.
About the amount of air or breathiness you accurately heard and your prediction that she will lose that when she gets older: you're in for a surprise. And I predict a pleasant surprise. Good reaction and analysis. Her rendition of this same song live in the studio at age 11 is one you won't want to miss. The audio quality is extremely good. Still channeling Billie Holiday, but much improved. I'd provide the link for you, but I suspect it will be a while before you get to it.
My bad. That is the one. "It's Magic" came out at 12 so I carried that age on.
Excellent reaction 🙂 Thanks! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you! 😃
She recorded same song with music at age 11 or 12 and there was on UA-cam mashup of musical track from that recording and this Acapella singing. For my very untrained ear it matched perfectly.
A-Aron.... once again a great reaction and commentary!
Pure talent
Apparently she had been pestering her family to let her enter NGT, where the minimum age was 7 - so she was allowed to enter once she reached that age. In this one she was still 7 (evidence: the state of her adult teeth popping out all over the place). We know she had turned 8 by the time she won NGT, but probably only barely...
D8mash Parents are the Best Voice Coaches & Music Teachers n the worLd. No One Taught AngeLina How 2 Sing Like That. They Had No idea Where She Gets it From. She cLoses Her Eyes & invites the oLd SouLs Nside 🍾🍹🍷👍
Great Reaction and Analysis 👍🙏👣💯😎
This is the first audition/cattle call-that’s why everybody is standing around with their jaws agape. The first tv performance was gloomy Sunday.
As great as this remarkable a'capella performance is, her performing it later on in life while doing a rehearsal in
a sound booth is the one performance that best illustrates all the improvisational elements she has adopted from
her musical mentor Billie Holiday, that you hear whenever she performs heartfelt ballads. They include elements
like Billie's signature style 'breathy', 'whisper-like' releases, her going from talking to singing within lyrical lines, and
a plethora of other inflections, phrasing and nuance that are mind boggling. That one later rendition helps us
understand why Angelina said that, if not for Billie, there would be no Angelina Jordan today. Even the emotion she
brings forth in these ballads are an emulation of the real life heartache Billie lived in life and brought to her singing.
Angelina's ability to reproduce this emotion is what makes listeners believe that she has actually lived these heartaches
in life, when of course she hasn't.
❤❤❤
A-aron, just might keep in mind about mush of AJs pronunciation at her younger years. Since she is Norwegian (and not english) and since she pronounce the words as seen, and phonetically pronounced likely as well; she likely hasn't mispronounced some of the identified words. And you sometime, may notice that she pronounces USA as USA, appropriately enough, as too the word sew, pronouncing it as spelt, and not as "so", which is our English "pronunciation.." FYI incase you're wondering. Do enjoy the excitement in your reviews Rc
Some really talented person took this performance and synced it with the instrumental and she was in absolutely perfect pitch throughout......perfect. Eight years old.

Steven Van Zandt was one of the first famous people (The Sopranos et al.) that she met that helped put her into a TV show-besides Norske Talenter, that is. If you look there, she’s gone on to be quite an IMDB star already! ❤️
In the video from the first song she sang, Gloomy Sunday, she introduced herself and said that she was seven yo. I’ve also heard that she turned eight just a few days before the finals but all the other songs she sang when she was seven. Maybe the recordings of the songs and the broadcasting could have different dates?
💯
An amazing reaction! Angelina is such a phenomenal talent but we are learning so much about her development at this age and her vocal characteristics from this series of reactions. Please keep it up. Many also comment that we Angels feel so much emotion when she sings-unlike so many other artists. How do you define emotion in music that makes one tear up?😢
I can hardly wait for your review at age 10 with the band singing “ feeling good “. I hope you include it! Thank you🎉
I think the dates you showed were the air dates and the programs were taped a few weeks before airing. I’m pretty sure Gloomy Sunday was taped in November of 2013. Other commenters will correct me if I’m wrong.
Semi final and finale aired live cuz there was a public phone voting. Audition and this "judges cut round" where prerecorded and broadcast months/weeks later. Exact recording dates are disputed, but likely "Gloomy Sunday" was recorded Nov 24th, 2013 and this video recorded Feb 07th, 2014 or Jan 25th - so close past her 8th bday in any case.
Excellent reaction, my friend. It is a breath of fresh air to have a Reactor who knows jazz and has the ability to analysis a performance. Keep it up and you have a subscriber for life.
For your information, here are the dates on which Angelina's Norway's Got Talent performances were recorded.
Date of NGT performances
Gloomy Sunday - 24 Nov 2013 (7 years 10 months 4 days)
I'm a fool to want you -7 Feb 2014 (8 years 0 months 28 days)
Bang Bang - 11 Apr 2014 - (8 years 3 months 1 day)
Summertime - 23 May 2014 (8 years 4 months 13 days)
Yes! Those are the dates! She was 7 during her “Gloomy Sunday” performance, but she turned 8 for the remainder of her other spectacular performances. ❤️
Thank you.! 😊😊
Kudos to you that you can actually do all of these visuals😊
Thank you? Sorry (appreciate it) but what visuals?
One notice on her next on NGT, her voice is somewhat more mature, and her teeth are more in place!
When she sings, she somehow, demands you to listen. Like it was when she read from her own book.
she just have it!
❤.
And you can watch her teeth will grow in because the contest spans months
Just shouldn't be possible to be this vocally advanced for someone around their 8th birthday. I enjoyed your reaction and I applaud you for recommending other great artists. I think Dimash is a great technical vocalist who can hit crazy high notes, but for me he has very little soul to his voice. Morrissette always makes me smile when I listen to her and I think has the perfect voice for Disney princess songs and she has covered many. Lara Fabian is a great storyteller and very emotional, like Angelina, and I enjoy listening to her from time to time. For me, Angelina has something special as her voice has a positive physical effect on me. It is like her voice is hugging my soul.
There are two other artists I support and listen to a lot. The Warning is a power rock trio comprised of 3 sisters from Mexico, who are ages 24, 22 and 19. Their 4th album is due on June 28th. For a first reaction, I suggest their first ever music video, "XXI Century Blood". Their songs often warn us about the problems they see in the world.
The other artist is The Sixsters, another all female band and they are from the Ukraine. Their latest song "Same Kid" is a great first reaction.
Great reaction thank you your reactions are awesome thank you wild bill from Worcester mass
Thanks so much!
I may have given you this previously without explanation. The dual dates on GS are recording and airing.

I believe this was posted online but never aired.
she starts off with no intro as she did with bohemian rhapsody she does use breath quite a lot now when she wants to
Enjoyed your analysis. Not that it matters, but Angelina is known for her ability to cover a song having only briefly heard the original. Many examples but one that comes to mind is a Tic Tok version of Adele's Easy On Me that Angelina performed only hours after the original was released.
Thanks and not at all surprised. But I'll bet this occurs later. I'm still learning about her so I could be wrong but if I were a betting person I would put money on it...
She has an obsession at this age and studies and learns like crazy. That's a GOOD THING. So yeah I still believe very firmly (speculation of course) that she listened over and over and over and over again to Billie Holiday version emulating EVERYTHING
@@A-AronReacts Thus it was. She explained in an interview shortly before semi-final that she had been listening to the greats (and had named some of them) for at least five years - since she was two years old.
@@paulwagner9303Thank you for confirming!
🥰
I know you are going to in order but you don’t want to forget to listen to “I’m a fool to want you” when she’s 11 years old and I’d rather be blind when she’s I think 12 or 13. Another must hear song is I’m still holding out for you at age 10. Angelina arranges all the songs she sings. You will grow to learn how versatile she is. You say she emulates and maybe when she was young she did. She studies the song extensively and she doesn’t emulate but pays tribute to the artist that did it the best with her own twist. She does however have many different styles and voices. After the age of 10 she does not cover songs, she uncovers their potential very often doing much better than the original artist. You’re doing a great job. Somewhat unconventional but good. Unconditional is certainly not a bad thing. Keep up the great work. Good luck my friend.
*NEW* Angelina Jordan: "Love of my Life" (Queen cover) ua-cam.com/users/shorts_Ew1e6Iur-I
This was mind blowing but my fave from this competiion was the next one, Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang. She was 8, singing about when ehs "were six"
This girl has ultra perfect pitch. Even on her interviews when asked to sing impromptu it is piano perfect. Check this performance for yourself. Love your reactions Aron , they are first rate!!
Very interesting analysis, Aron, thanks. 👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Aron: Thank you for all the AJ reactions so far, I have subscribed so I can continue this journey with you, but unfortunately (for you), though, what Angelina gives us you can't get from any other singer in this life time hence (most of us) will be faithful to your channel as long as you continue reacting to her, she can't be compared with any other singer.
Hehe no worries and thank you! I commend your loyalty. I will, however, continue to spread and share great music
Someone put a backing track to this performance and it sounded like Jordan was actually singing to the track her timing was so accurate. What goes on in that prodigal brain of hers must be something to behold! I guess she sees and hears the music in her head and then opens her mouth and out it comes for the world to appreciate. Lucky us!
❤️ your reaction , 👍🥰 from one of Angelina’s Angels 😊, and you have an new Angelina sub 🥰
Thanks for subbing!
She can be seen rehearsing this song with an instrumental track in this video: ua-cam.com/video/2a5BFtFb0EU/v-deo.html The fact that this was before her performance of the song on NGT can be deduced, IMO, from the appearance of her teeth. (Disregard the unrelated footage of her in the hallway at the beginning and end of the video: that was recorded significantly later.) The manner in which she is singing the song is, if you ask me, a little closer to the way Billie sang it (compared to her performance for the show). Notice that she is reading along with the lyrics and she still sings some of the words "wrong". The funny thing is, every single thing she sang "wrong" on the show she sang the same way in the rehearsal, except one thing that was different - and I can't actually remember now if it was something the sang right in the rehearsal and then wrong on the show or vice-versa. Given that she had the lyrics right in front of her face in the rehearsal, I think this strongly suggests that she was already very familiar with the song and simply chose to sing the words that she was used to singing without worrying about whether they were 100% correct. Many videos recorded well into her career make it obvious that of all the aspects of singing, the one she cares the least about is getting the words right.😊 (After around age 10 she was much better at getting the words right "when it mattered", like in TV appearances. But even as late as 12 when she would record "spontaneous" covers at home, she would often get certain words wrong, and that wouldn't prevent her from posting the results.)
Sorry I ran through the mash catalog before.I went to angelina and then switched solely to angelina....
Never in demosh's history between age 5 and 19 of singing.Had I heard him do anything relative to age like angelina does. Demash made a marked increase in talent capability range and everything else and showmanship at age twenty to twenty one. He is amazing and definitely a bucket list if he ever comes back to america. I have seen angelina and her first solo concert in new hampshire back in september twenty twenty three...
ps::: I would marry laura fabian !!! PURE BEAUTY.
Very interesting and informative reaction: I would be very interested to see your reaction to her rendition of the same song at 11/12... very different (and not acapella) but also wonderful... With regard to your comment I am one that pretty much only listens to Angelina - if I am not listening to her I would rather listen to classical music.... not that there isn't a lot of great non-classical music in addition to Angelina, but I just don't feel inclined to find the time for it (a "me problem" I know...)
Need to do I'd Rather Go Blind.
2014-02-07 is the date "I'm a Fool to Want You" was recorded (we know this mainly because of an article about the girl in the red dress standing behind Angelina). It was broadcast on 2014-03-28. And 2014-03-07 was the date "Gloomy Sunday" was broadcast. We still don't know for sure when it was recorded, but we can be 100% certain that it happened before IAFTWY based on the appearance of her teeth. If we assume Angelina was telling the truth about her age when she said she was 7, then it must have been recorded before 2014-01-10. The last two performances are much easier, because they were broadcast live on the dates you showed.
Even at this point...Age does not matter anymore. I know that is a factor for most reactors, but at some point the talent and the vocal prowess is what counts. This is an example of pitch perfect, perfect timing vocals from a little girl, singing A Cappella!!!!!! Try to analysis, rate it or whatever, it is what it is Aron, sometimes things are just beyond analysis and comprehension. Thanks for another enjoyable reaction...think this is like my 20.000 one in past 8 and 1/2 years of following her....lost track. Do love what you are doing though, something different. If you were to listen to Billy Holiday's version of this song, (Maybe you have already) you would have a new prospective I believe in what this child just did here...a suggestion.
Thanks. I've only heard the Billie Holiday version like a 100 times myself 😜
She also does this song as a teenager in the studio. You should look for it. Its one of my favorites from Angelina.
