Fabulous reaction. You mentioned her growth in two years, be more amazed by her growth in a few months by watching the next three performances in this show, I’m a Fool to want You, Bang bang, and lastly Summertime. Looking forward to more!
First known video singing is at 18 months old I Will Always Love You the Whitney Houston cover of Dolly Parton song. She can cover ANY One. Elvis, Sinatra, Queen, Beyoncé, Patsy Cline and 100’s more!
She knows already in the early years how she wanted to sing Songs and tried to make it better and better over the years . Now at the age of 18 she reached the masterclass 🎉 Please go to her next concert 20th September in LA and you can feel what i mean 👍🕊️🎷 Love the early comment you're music 🎶🎀
Great job man. The amazing thing is with each performance she just gets better and better. The next official performance in the competition is her rendition of Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang", still among my favorites of hers.
Hi Rapid. For some of us, little Angelina stole our hearts 10 years ago, and has yet to relinquish her grasp. A decade is a long time to be a fan of a singer, and I'm hoping for many more years.
@Rapid: I've been following Angelina's career for the past ten years. Thanks for the reaction and do check out the next three NGT performances when you're able.
I love it when someone like you is so honestly taken by her voice. She truly was a child prodigy in the making and without the garbage that goes with record labels and the politics and agendas of their contracts. Thank heavens for social media, UA-cam and Tic Tok where all this new talent is being discovered. So far her family has been able to shield her from the poison of the big recording studio labels that only have their business interests in mind and not the performers. Thank you.
I love reaction channels to hear your reactions. Ignore the trolls. It’s the same couple who do it to everyone’s channel when they know very well they can go to Angelina’s page and listen to any song they want to .
She is the Angel, the gift from God and we are all just along for the ride. Welcome to the journey. I and my family have been fallowing her rise since she was eight. She is one of the few new artists in music I will listen to and I'm proud to say my granddaughters all love and idolize her. So, few artists today have even half her talent and sadly nun of her ethics or morality.
When I first heard this, my thoughts went back to my favorite singer Billie Holiday who recorded the original song. You listen to both renditions and come away believing that Angelina emulates Billie's vocals so perfectly, it's easy to think Billie sang both renditions. It was back then, when AJ was 7, that I first mentioned that she was a 'vocal chameleon' because of this unique ability to emulate another singer's voice so precisely. This was reinforced when, at 8, she sang Dinah Washington's 'What A difference A Day Makes' and sounded just like Dinah.
I heard, when Adele was asked, what she thought about THAT Norwegian girl covering Adele´s songs, she answered: I FEEL HONORED. The last surviving member of "the Mamas and the Papas" thanked her for her interpretation of "California Dreaming" at age 12. Queen shows her interpretation of "Bohemian Rhapsodie" on their Social network with "Wow, what a rendition". A lot of other stars thanked her for "dusting off our old songs and breathing new life into them". God bless you and yours. EfG
Liked and subscribed. I'm sure you've read why Angelina doesn't wear shoes when she performs. News to me recently was WHEN and how she decided to do that. Just before this audition (which was probably 1 year+ since she gave her shoes away to the shoeless orphan girl), Angelina's mom Sara had bought her a nice pair of shoes to wear on what was going to be her first appearance on television. Of course! But it was at that point that Angelina said she couldn't stop thinking about the girl she had met, AND (paraphrasing) that her singing was part of something larger and more important than her - and so she decided to sing barefoot, in honor of the girl she called Priness. Her mom was shocked, but went along. What 7 year old even thinks like that??? Age wise, she was probably 7 yrs 10 months for this audition, which aired after she turned 8. The other 3 NGT songs - which you should react to next! - all were at age 8. I Put a Spell on You was recorded when she was 9 years, 1 month - so actually only a little more than a year after this performance. Her musical and singing growth during those early years - even during the 6 month span of the NGT performances - was nothing short of mind blowing.
It was during this program when I first saw Angelina although 'Bang Bang' was the first I saw. It was then that I realized just how unique she was. Not only could she sing and have an amazing voice but her understanding of the music was simply astonishing. She'll surprise you ever single time, no matter what she's singing. 😎
The 7 year old Angelina said it best. For her his song is about a "Sad Sunday" ... and nothing else I think it is best left at that. Thanks for this. NEXT UP: Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 on America's Got Talent - The Champions. 100 million + views. 🍁
Yes "gloomy Sunday was also refered to as the hungarian suicide song. In this video Angelina sang the first and third verses, which made sense for the time restraints these talent shows put on performances. The unsung second verse is the darkest of the three and was probably the root cause of the song's problematic history. After reading the lyrics I am always amazed her mother let her sing it. i assume she fully didn't understand the undertones of the song. After this her mother probably oversaw her choices a little closer with the best example we know of being the improvised lyrics for Back to Black. (Another must listen). Angelina has said she never feels nervous on stage because singing transports her to an special place of light and love. And takes us along for the ride. the only time you will see her display any nervousness is when she is being interviewed by sometimes clueless adults. cough The View cough.
Yes, Gloomy Sunday has been called the Hungarian Suicide Song due to some events back in the 1930's or '40s. One of my favorite movies, also called Gloomy Sunday, incorporates those events as a key element in the plot. (The movie Gloomy Sunday was released in 1999. It's in German with English subtitles and has a 92% favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.)
For "Gloomy Sunday" aka the Hungarian Suicide song to launch the career for my all time favorite musical artist, is nothing short of mind blowing. Since too many singers passed their audition, Angelina's next performance was for the Judge's Cut round, where singers were required to sing a cappella, unless they also played a instrument. Angelina sings the Billie Holiday version of "I'm a Fool to Want You" which was written by Frank Sinatra in 1951 and was Billie Holiday's last big hit, in 1958. ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.htmlsi=U5R5K3JJpg1QFlt_ If you want to give yourself a treat, then you can also react to Angelina singing the same song at age 11 to see her improvement. ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.htmlsi=LCmowtJFojLEMvzk
All I can say is..buckle up mate and enjoy your journey and I look forward to more of your Angelina reactions as I'm sure there will be. Respect to you from New Zealand 👍
She was an amazing little girl…what a voice.…… May I suggest reacting to Queen music…… Starting with Bohemian Rhapsody from 1975 …then maybe ‘Somebody to Love’ live in Montreal 1981. They have a huge catalog of over 200 songs, so many iconic songs, many that you will recognize..like We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Another One Bites The Dust….most all are better when performed live. Worth a look…. Queen has a huge following.
People rarely comment on what an extraordinary choice of song this is for a 7-year-old girl auditioning for a talent show. A Hungarian suicide song? Who would have thought that would go down so amazingly well? But then even at that age, Angelina transforms everything she touches into pure gold!
Angelina delight's my heart 81 years and I've never heard anything quite like her she takes on the voices of many whom she covers her Talent perceptiveness and devotion as she brings music to life skills poetry with deep meaning with numerous instruments lyrics astounding as in❤ I want to look in the mirror and love the person looking back at me❤
You said it. Angelina has earned our admiration. We can’t help getting emotional. Maybe the fact you have young children yourself brings an additional sense of pride. You must be a very proud father as you mentioned Angelinas mother and her pride her little one. God bless you and your family. I’m sure your children are proud of their father as well.🎉
Thanks for another beautiful reaction to Angelina 🙂 Actually, there was only 14 months between THIS performance and I Put A Spell On You, as this one was recorded very shortly before her 8th birthday, and IPASOY was recorded when she was 9 years 2 months old. Crazy, right ?? And now that she is 18, she is even better. I don't know, maybe check out her performance of "Unchained Melody" next, which she performed at the Nobel Peace Price concert here in Oslo, Norway in December last year? She was 17 at the time, 1 month shy of 18. The Nobel Peace Price winner was Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian women's rights advocate, currently imprisoned in Iran. She was sentenced to a lengthy sentence, in addition to receiving 100+ lashes. She has a twin daughter and son the same age as Angelina, who currently live in France with their uncle. They haven't seen their mother in years, and first came to Sweden to receive the price in their mother's place, then they came to Oslo for the concert. They sat just a few meters away from Angelina during the performance, and you can see Angelina turning toward them and touching her heart before leaving the stage. A thing to note is that Angelina's biggest inspiration in life is her grandmother, Mery Zamani. Mery is also Iranian, so you can imagine that she and Angelina have been talking about the situation in Iran a lot. Also, performing at the Nobel Peace Price has been one of Angelina's biggest dreams since she was 6-7 years old (there is an interview of her where she says so), so this was a dream come true for her. Actually, it had already happened once before, when she was 8 years old, so we may call it a dream come double-true 🙂 If you consider the lyrics in the song, you can see how the choice of song was very appropriate, and Angelina performed it as beautifully and dignified as only she can. I will try to add the link in an answer to this post, as well as the full title of the video, for copy/paste ease. No matter what you choose to react to next from her, just know this: You WILL be blown away. Each and every time, without exception. 200+ performances, all extremely good. I have been following her since the audition you just reacted to, so I would know😄 I'm very much looking forward to follow you down the rabbit hole. After all, watching other people discover Angelina is the next best thing after discovering her myself/ourselves. Stay safe and take care! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Dude keep Reacting to Angelina, you haven't seen Anything yet, ive been listening to her for over 4 years, and haven't missed a day, she is the best Female Vocalist ive ever heard and im 60 yrs old
It is so cool to see someone who appreciates this little angel as much as i do. After watching her videos over and over i still get a tear every now and then. I can see you got addicted as quick as i did.
Great reaction! I subbed to watch your journey watching this wonderful girl grow up into the superstar she dreamed of becoming. Enjoy the chronological journey. It is full of wonderful moments and surprises. Spoiler alert, today she is super model beautiful, but still the sweetest human being you will ever encounter. I know from personal experience.❤
And, if you can tell already it doesn't take long for her to touch your heart, does it? Like a couple of notes!!!!!! If you might be wondering why she doesn't appear nervous she has been quoted as saying she is most comfortable in her life when she is singing on stage for people. Breathing and singing are one and the same to her. "Enjoy the journey you are about to go on! Welcome aboard!"
Sir, YES, this is also called the Hungarian Suicide song. Since it was written in Hungary, it changed the lyrics a few times especially when translated. There were people found dead, while listening to this song. So it got this nickname. Miss Angelina arranged that song and let the depressing middle part out. She knew exactly what she was doing. And friend FlameCold is right with his comment. Welcome Angel. Elmar from Germany
If you want to see her even smaller, I invite you to see (I Who Have Nothing) when she is only 6 years old, her first time in a studio, thank you, greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
She was actually a couple month older on I Who Have Nothing, this early 8, as we can see that get permanent teeth are further out there then in this video.
The first time the world heard Angelina sing. The world has waited for every new song she releases ever since. To say she is special doesn't go close to describing the effect she has on us every time she sings. And yes it was sung by Billie Holiday. Evidently there were quite a few hungarians who committed suicide whilw listening to it.
She is guided by her Grandma Mery Zamani, a famous artist and poet, and her parents to always revise lyrics to make them age appropriate! In this video you saw her grandmother Mery exiting with her and her mom Sara Astar, Astar is Angelina's last name! If it were me I would react to the last three Norway's Got Talent performances in one reaction video, as they are all short! Then Her Bohemian Rhapsody followed by her latest original Bad Valentine! That should equip you to delve further into her music! She can truly sing and arrange any song from Billie Holiday to Adele, to Elvis, to Amy Winehouse, she will always surprise you at how different she sings each song!
Yes, it is the Hungarian Suicide song. She listened to Billie Holiday's recording of the song and emulates what she hears. This is the point where the world first heard her, and this went viral on UA-cam. There are a few recordings from before this. One at 1-1/2 years old, singing a Whitney Houston song and then some done in the recording studio at her school that her grandmother filmed.
Little clarification. The media of the day came up with the 'Hungarian Suicide Song' name because it happened to become popular at a period when suicides reached a high level in that country. That was long before Billie Holiday was born or the lyrics were translated to English.
@@tomrogers1305 Alright, a little more clarification. The song was written in 1932 and published in 1933 by Rezso Seress. The song was first recorded in English in 1936 by Hal Kemp with lyrics by Sam Lewis. Billie Holiday recorded it in 1941. Billie Holiday was born in 1915.
Now you need to hear her sing her second song. She is once again the last act of the day and what and how she sings this song will defy logic. Someone who just turned 8 should not be able to sing this song the way she sings it. I'll leave the link below. ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html Angelina 8 'I'm A Fool To Want You' by Billie Holiday.
I like you bro. You seem genuine. Keep going with Angelina. She will blow your mind. Her first launch was at six. 6. Yup. "I who have nothing ". Its on UA-cam. See ya soon. 👍🏻
You are just beginning to get acquainted with the power of Angelina's music. I am not referring to the physical power of her voice but the power it has over an individual. She brings you into her world of music---into your past, your future---opening up a world of calm and thought that you would have never imagined possible to be brought on by a singer--let alone a child. After her Vegas concert they put out a video called "10 Years in the Making" narrated by Angelina and it is a good way to see who Angelina Jordan is as an individual. ua-cam.com/video/I_59PZXkusc/v-deo.html You are going to enjoy this journey esp. since you have children.
Loved the reaction. Had to see a couple to see if you would come back...new subscriber. She is a music genius and prodigy...she lives to be on stage and once she said in an interview, "when I am on stage, I never want to leave". 3 more songs to go from the NGT show, you will not believe the amount improvement from one song to the next, it is amazing to see, and her teeth start growing in as well. Cheers. Look forward to the next.
The young judge, talking to her, is Omer Bhati, the protege of one Michael Jackson. He is still a friend of her family and introduced her to the Jacksons. On her 17th birthday she was visited ba a LOT of the MJ´s family, I saw the video. EfG
Angelina Jordan Astar is her real name, so she had to get used to her new "Artists Name". As you see her family calls her Jordan her middle given name. Her 6 years younger Sister is Juliette Slattman, the surname of her dad, I suspect to confuse kidnappers. Today her now 12 year old highly intelligent sister is more and more her manger, as uncle Mike (mom´s brother Michael) has his hands full with 2 toddlers. EfG
There are a series of song covers she did age 12, just after moving to the USA, with Ivan Mendez on guitar. They would hang out after school, pick a song, run through it once or twice, then Grandma Merry would record it. Stunning. Her instinct for music.
I will sit through a minute of your introduction but after that I'm going to the reaction. If you could turn up the volume to the video you are watching it would help hear it alot!
She was early 8 there, as it can be seen that get permanent teeth (and especially the upper l left central incisor) are more developed there than here.
Thank you for your kind words!! You can check out the link below for coffee donations: buymeacoffee.com/rapidreactionz That said, please do not feel obligated. Just tuning in is plenty enough. I’m doing this because I love music and find our Barefoot Princess here to be phenomenal!! 💙😊🔥
As good as this performance was, it was actually the "weakest" of the four she gave in the competition (IMHO), just in terms of the sound of her voice, per se. This was, of course, primarily due to her very young age, but more specifically, it was because so much of the song is pitched towards the upper end of her so-called "chest voice", forcing her to sing in a part of her range that was not particularly powerful at that time. But that ended up working well for the style she was going for (after all, Billie Holiday was not exactly known for "power vocals"). And, of course, it "did its job" of getting her into the next round. (It also went far beyond that, as footage of her started going viral here on YT, leading _Time_ , CNN, _People_ , _The Mirror_ [based in the UK], and _The Hollywood Reporter_ to report on the phenomenon at their respective websites, all within just a few days of the broadcast.) I really hope you will react to her second-round NGT performance next (or at least soon). For that, please use this particular video: ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html - other uploads of it omit about 50 seconds of the song, which is how it actually aired on TV, but the show's broadcaster (TV 2 in Norway) posted this full, unedited version on their website. Sung exactly 4 weeks after she turned 8, I wouldn't necessarily say it revealed a greatly improved voice, but the fact that she sang the song ("I'm a Fool to Want You", another Billie Holiday selection) a cappella, and in a more powerful part of her range (starting with just about the lowest note she could hit at the time), made it significantly more impressive, IMO. (To be frank, I think it's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on a TV talent show - a distinction it just happens to hold with her third-round performance.) From that point on, she was a heavy favorite to win the whole shebang. Which, of course, she eventually did. Handily. Looking forward to more AJ reactions…
I don't know about Hungarian but I know it was forbidden to be played on the radio during WWII In England I think due to it being about suicide. Fact check me but it's something like that.
Fabulous reaction. You mentioned her growth in two years, be more amazed by her growth in a few months by watching the next three performances in this show, I’m a Fool to want You, Bang bang, and lastly Summertime. Looking forward to more!
Super reaction........MORE please.
I am so here for your angelina journey 😊
Angelina nails it every time.
First known video singing is at 18 months old I Will Always Love You the Whitney Houston cover of Dolly Parton song. She can cover ANY One. Elvis, Sinatra, Queen, Beyoncé, Patsy Cline and 100’s more!
She knows already in the early years how she wanted to sing Songs and tried to make it better and better over the years . Now at the age of 18 she reached the masterclass 🎉
Please go to her next concert 20th September in LA and you can feel what i mean 👍🕊️🎷
Love the early comment you're music 🎶🎀
Great job man. The amazing thing is with each performance she just gets better and better. The next official performance in the competition is her rendition of Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang", still among my favorites of hers.
Hi Rapid. For some of us, little Angelina stole our hearts 10 years ago, and has yet to relinquish her grasp. A decade is a long time to be a fan of a singer, and I'm hoping for many more years.
She has a way of reaching into your soul and taking you apart piece by piece. You’re definitely going to love this journey🥹❣️
Merci pour votre réaction, ça me fait plaisir, vraiment, de suivre votre découverte d'Angelina que nous aimons tant.
@Rapid: I've been following Angelina's career for the past ten years. Thanks for the reaction and do check out the next three NGT performances when you're able.

When you see Angelina’s mother in the backstage, she has just realized that she has lost her little girl to the world.
❤❤❤
Great reaction. 😊

Liked and subscribed. I'm sure you've read why Angelina doesn't wear shoes when she performs. News to me recently was WHEN and how she decided to do that. Just before this audition (which was probably 1 year+ since she gave her shoes away to the shoeless orphan girl), Angelina's mom Sara had bought her a nice pair of shoes to wear on what was going to be her first appearance on television.

Age wise, she was probably 7 yrs 10 months for this audition, which aired after she turned 8. The other 3 NGT songs - which you should react to next! - all were at age 8. I Put a Spell on You was recorded when she was 9 years, 1 month - so actually only a little more than a year after this performance. Her musical and singing growth during those early years - even during the 6 month span of the NGT performances - was nothing short of mind blowing.

Just subscribed for our beautiful barefoot Princess.
AJ is so wonderful
... and so a new shining Star was born !!!
You're hooked, I'm subscribed so let's go. At 18, she is the GOAT, maybe even as early as 15, imo!
Thank you for supporting our Angel. Looking forward for the Journey - it will come some incredible stuff, for real for real 😊
She nails everything regardless of age;) Buckle up, only about 250 or so to go!
The 7 year old Angelina said it best. For her his song is about a "Sad Sunday" ... and nothing else I think it is best left at that. Thanks for this.

Really. Shes unbelievable. 200+ songs on here. All genres except metal. And she owns them all. Shes also an amazing human being. 👍🏻
The legend has arrived 'Angelina Jordan' !!
You must see her "Summertime" from the final. Mindblowing, really mindblowing

You said it. Angelina has earned our admiration. We can’t help getting emotional. Maybe the fact you have young children yourself brings an additional sense of pride.

@@poolhallshark I agree with you that watching people react to Angelina the first time is always a highlight for me
👍🏼🤗🎼
So sweet we are nervous for her but she’s not❣️
Dude keep Reacting to Angelina, you haven't seen Anything yet, ive been listening to her for over 4 years, and haven't missed a day, she is the best Female Vocalist ive ever heard and im 60 yrs old
It is so cool to see someone who appreciates this little angel as much as i do. After watching her videos over and over i still get a tear every now and then. I can see you got addicted as quick as i did.
100% hooked and I’m here for it! 😊🔥
Great reaction! I subbed to watch your journey watching this wonderful girl grow up into the superstar she dreamed of becoming. Enjoy the chronological journey. It is full of wonderful moments and surprises.
Spoiler alert, today she is super model beautiful, but still the sweetest human being you will ever encounter. I know from personal experience.❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Thank you for exploring Angelina's music. Believe me when I say that you ain't seen nothing yet!😊 PS, just subbed.
Today (18 years old) Angelina Jordan is no longer a talent, but a world-class singer!
And, if you can tell already it doesn't take long for her to touch your heart, does it? Like a couple of notes!!!!!!
If you might be wondering why she doesn't appear nervous she has been quoted as saying she is most comfortable in her life when she is singing on stage for people. Breathing and singing are one and the same to her.
"Enjoy the journey you are about to go on! Welcome aboard!"
Sir, YES, this is also called the Hungarian Suicide song. Since it was written in Hungary, it changed the lyrics a few times especially when translated. There were people found dead, while listening to this song. So it got this nickname. Miss Angelina arranged that song and let the depressing middle part out.
She knew exactly what she was doing. And friend FlameCold is right with his comment.
Welcome Angel.

The barefoot Princess is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. I’m 56 years old. She is absolutely the best singer ever ever heard in my life.
If you want to see her even smaller, I invite you to see (I Who Have Nothing) when she is only 6 years old, her first time in a studio, thank you, greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
She was actually a couple month older on I Who Have Nothing, this early 8, as we can see that get permanent teeth are further out there then in this video.
The first time the world heard Angelina sing. The world has waited for every new song she releases ever since. To say she is special doesn't go close to describing the effect she has on us every time she sings. And yes it was sung by Billie Holiday. Evidently there were quite a few hungarians who committed suicide whilw listening to it.
She is guided by her Grandma Mery Zamani, a famous artist and poet, and her parents to always revise lyrics to make them age appropriate! In this video you saw her grandmother Mery exiting with her and her mom Sara Astar, Astar is Angelina's last name! If it were me I would react to the last three Norway's Got Talent performances in one reaction video, as they are all short! Then Her Bohemian Rhapsody followed by her latest original Bad Valentine!
That should equip you to delve further into her music! She can truly sing and arrange any song from Billie Holiday to Adele, to Elvis, to Amy Winehouse, she will always surprise you at how different she sings each song!
You’re so right; she can take any song and make it her own ❣️
Yes, it is the Hungarian Suicide song. She listened to Billie Holiday's recording of the song and emulates what she hears. This is the point where the world first heard her, and this went viral on UA-cam. There are a few recordings from before this. One at 1-1/2 years old, singing a Whitney Houston song and then some done in the recording studio at her school that her grandmother filmed.
Little clarification. The media of the day came up with the 'Hungarian Suicide Song' name because it happened to become popular at a period when suicides reached a high level in that country. That was long before Billie Holiday was born or the lyrics were translated to English.
@@tomrogers1305 Alright, a little more clarification. The song was written in 1932 and published in 1933 by Rezso Seress. The song was first recorded in English in 1936 by Hal Kemp with lyrics by Sam Lewis. Billie Holiday recorded it in 1941. Billie Holiday was born in 1915.
Now you need to hear her sing her second song. She is once again the last act of the day and what and how she sings this song will defy logic. Someone who just turned 8 should not be able to sing this song the way she sings it. I'll leave the link below.

My dude, I am so happy you are jumping on the AJ cruise ship
Looking forward to the next one great job
You're amazing. I can't wait to see more videos from you. I hope you saw my comment react to those other artists. Keep it going.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
In terms of tears, I’m usually ok on this one…then I see her mum Sara and I’m gone! 😁 Great reaction 🙏 Subd.
I like you bro. You seem genuine. Keep going with Angelina. She will blow your mind. Her first launch was at six. 6. Yup. "I who have nothing ". Its on UA-cam. See ya soon. 👍🏻
You are just beginning to get acquainted with the power of Angelina's music. I am not referring to the physical power of her voice but the power it has over an individual. She brings you into her world of music---into your past, your future---opening up a world of calm and thought that you would have never imagined possible to be brought on by a singer--let alone a child. After her Vegas concert they put out a video called "10 Years in the Making" narrated by Angelina and it is a good way to see who Angelina Jordan is as an individual.

You are going to enjoy this journey esp. since you have children.
Just wait til year 10. Prepare yourself. She mastered her kid voice by age 11 when things started to change. 0 =)
Thank you so much for your support to Angelina. We all love and care her so much ❤
Loved the reaction. Had to see a couple to see if you would come back...new subscriber. She is a music genius and prodigy...she lives to be on stage and once she said in an interview, "when I am on stage, I never want to leave". 3 more songs to go from the NGT show, you will not believe the amount improvement from one song to the next, it is amazing to see, and her teeth start growing in as well. Cheers. Look forward to the next.
The young judge, talking to her, is Omer Bhati, the protege of one Michael Jackson. He is still a friend of her family and introduced her to the Jacksons. On her 17th birthday she was visited ba a LOT of the MJ´s family, I saw the video.

Did you know that particular song was outlawed in most European countries during war time.
Have u used a microphone😂 it gets me every time.
Next maybe the other sons from Norway got talent. Then follow her by her age one by one !!!
Angelina Jordan Astar is her real name, so she had to get used to her new "Artists Name". As you see her family calls her Jordan her middle given name. Her 6 years younger Sister is Juliette Slattman, the surname of her dad, I suspect to confuse kidnappers. Today her now 12 year old highly intelligent sister is more and more her manger, as uncle Mike (mom´s brother Michael) has his hands full with 2 toddlers.

❤ humor directed at yourself is ‘not so’ bad. 😂
Have to be able to laugh at yourself for sure! 😅 Thank you for checking it out! 💙✌️
He said he would be stopping and pausing .. lmao ... he got drawn in and forgot ... happens often to us all when listening to her ..
Guilty as charged! 😅✌️
There are a series of song covers she did age 12, just after moving to the USA, with Ivan Mendez on guitar. They would hang out after school, pick a song, run through it once or twice, then Grandma Merry would record it. Stunning. Her instinct for music.
I will sit through a minute of your introduction but after that I'm going to the reaction. If you could turn up the volume to the video you are watching it would help hear it alot!
I am afraid you have caught the sickness. It comes with a terrible fever, and the only cure is more AJ!
This is her version of a Tom Jones hit, at SIX YEARS OF AGE. ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html
She was early 8 there, as it can be seen that get permanent teeth (and especially the upper l left central incisor) are more developed there than here.
I love Angelina❤but I love your style! Keep at it. Also I’d like to make at least coffee donation?
Thanks
Thank you for your kind words!! You can check out the link below for coffee donations:

That said, please do not feel obligated. Just tuning in is plenty enough.
I’m doing this because I love music and find our Barefoot Princess here to be phenomenal!! 💙😊🔥
As good as this performance was, it was actually the "weakest" of the four she gave in the competition (IMHO), just in terms of the sound of her voice, per se. This was, of course, primarily due to her very young age, but more specifically, it was because so much of the song is pitched towards the upper end of her so-called "chest voice", forcing her to sing in a part of her range that was not particularly powerful at that time. But that ended up working well for the style she was going for (after all, Billie Holiday was not exactly known for "power vocals"). And, of course, it "did its job" of getting her into the next round. (It also went far beyond that, as footage of her started going viral here on YT, leading _Time_ , CNN, _People_ , _The Mirror_ [based in the UK], and _The Hollywood Reporter_ to report on the phenomenon at their respective websites, all within just a few days of the broadcast.)
I really hope you will react to her second-round NGT performance next (or at least soon). For that, please use this particular video: ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html - other uploads of it omit about 50 seconds of the song, which is how it actually aired on TV, but the show's broadcaster (TV 2 in Norway) posted this full, unedited version on their website. Sung exactly 4 weeks after she turned 8, I wouldn't necessarily say it revealed a greatly improved voice, but the fact that she sang the song ("I'm a Fool to Want You", another Billie Holiday selection) a cappella, and in a more powerful part of her range (starting with just about the lowest note she could hit at the time), made it significantly more impressive, IMO. (To be frank, I think it's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on a TV talent show - a distinction it just happens to hold with her third-round performance.) From that point on, she was a heavy favorite to win the whole shebang. Which, of course, she eventually did. Handily.
Looking forward to more AJ reactions…
Thank you for dropping a link, this helps tremendously!! 💙✌️
Fantastic post 🙏
👍
She’s 7 here!
Wait til you hear her sing I’m a Fool To Want You a Cappella in the next round. You ain’t heard nothin’ yet!
I don't know about Hungarian but I know it was forbidden to be played on the radio during WWII In England I think due to it being about suicide. Fact check me but it's something like that.
That is the Mom not grandmother
