👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ This is one of those performances by Angelina that just makes me want to say she has the voice of an angel. After awhile you simply run out of superlatives to try and describe how beautiful she sounds. I have to say that so far your choice of Angelina performances to react to has been impeccable. My only complaint--I don't want to wait a week between Angelina reactions! I'll go ahead and congratulate you now on 10K subscribers, since you may very well reach that milestone before your next Angelina reaction, and well deserved!
Yes, a beautiful performance. This is a hard song to sing. It’s not the type of song you’d ever expect a ten year old to handle well-unless that ten year old was a master at the timing and nuances of soft jazz, had fluid vocal flexibility, and also had a relaxed voice that just glides between octaves without effort. Fortunately, Angelina has all of those abilities in spades. She seems to have a limitless toolbox that allows her to select whatever vocal components she needs to fit the song she chooses. Whatever she sings seems to be in her comfort zone, whether she’s taking on Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Adele, Elvis, Queen, Dinah Washington, Screamin Jay Hawkins, etc., etc., etc... And for all the times I’ve heard her sing, I never get tired of hearing her everyday. I can’t say that about any other singer, and I’ve been listening to music since the 1950’s.
Natural range C3 to C5, 2 octaves. Of course she can sing with falsetto above that but not normally counted. Most people limited to 1.5 octaves, but many trained singers can have up to 2.5 octaves range, rare ones more.
Hi Adam, That was a real nice reaction, thank you. This song was done right before she moved to America. So far they know she has a 3-5+ octave range, I believe Angelina is a low contralto or a dramatic contralto “I who have nothing” was 6yrs old . By Tom Jones ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html in her schools sound booth studio. at NGT she sings "I'm a fool to want you" a cappella & she was 7 & it was round 2. This is very haunting. Show me a 7 yr old that can do this. ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html Please react to these.
I have been following Anglina for 7 years Now and I still have trouble rapping my brain is around what I'm listening to. And how is it possible. A God gift he is sharing with us. Great Reaction Adam Stay Safe
Rick, every thing is possible to Angelina. But i don't surprise about her singing..She is so talented. I'm her ardent fan since 2014. Amazing Angelina!!!
For me there are only two singers filling up my playlist. I dont find room for either Dimash or Diana there. Its mostly Angelina, but also Aurora. Thats why I appreciate your videos so much, Adam. You have top class reactions. This song is a true masterpiece for us Angelina fans. Its so soothing and delicate, just gorgeous. Thank you, Adam 👍
One of my favourites too! As you said, all the WORLD need to listen to Angelina! She just has a quality in her voice that is calming, soothing. Just outstanding!
Ooh, I hadn’t heard this one. Nothing to add, can only nod in agreement. Thank you, Adam. Here’s the intro translated quickly (just a few minutes till the live show with Mace). “Behind us, the world is at this 10 year old’s feet. Fortunately, she stopped by before leaving for the United States.” “And we expect goosebumps, because we have heard the rehearsals! Just enjoy this, and also enjoy your Monday evening.”
@Adam Straughan I do realize that... _now_ 😳 (“now” being when you replied 25 minutes ago). For whatever reason I simply didn’t see “this Saturday” in your post. So yeah, oops, my bad. 😅 You’re most welcome re: the translation.
She is capable with her sweet and unique voice to transport me to different places, I close my eyes and I can see like a movie all my best memories, she takes ne to a beautiful places , she is fantastic, it is a delight to listen, she is pure emotion, so sensible . Love your kind words, with this pandemic I just needed this,thank you
I said this before: when God listens to music, He listens to the likes of Mozart and Bach. When Angels listen to music, they listen to another Angel named Angelina Jordan and God eavesdrops. Thank you for your reaction and keep them coming.
Yes! thank you for this one. She was only 10 years old when she performed this. This one is in the top 5 on my playlist for her. You have done some of her slower songs with the simple accompaniment which highlight her smooth and full tones very well. I think it might be time for one of her more up-tempo and boisterous songs. I'd love to hear your reaction to her cover of James Brown's "This is a Man's World" - ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html. She is backed by the Norwegian Military band and it is a great look at her belting capability.
This is also one of my favorites. But the best performance is the one that’s audio only. The band in that one is awesome. It can be found in the Angelina in concert that’s about 32 minutes long. But someone has probably just singled out that song as well
When I saw the conductor of the band look over to her - he clearly was amazed with the power of her voice - I listened to the track from the album- the live performance was far superior- he probably was thinking- "you never sang like that in rehearsal!"
You do realize she is covering the legendary 'Godfather Of Soul' (James Brown) here? Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of young girls who could do it as well as Angelina. Heck, there are no singers anywhere that could pull this off. Same goes for Whitney's 'I Have Nothing'.
Adam - Her guitar accompanied songs are also my favorites. This was pure perfection - everything worked here, including the lovely setting. I’ve listened to this many times, but only noticed something today. I thought she sang this in a “straight up, no chaser” style, to use an archaic reference to a way of ordering whiskey at the bar. I mean her voice was not really embellished in anyway by a lot of clever techniques. She just followed the original melody and used her natural voice throughout, with no frills. Beautiful.
Great reacton! Always think this version of "Evertime We say Goodbye" is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you will like her original "Song for A" and the songs which she wrote when she was 11 years old called "What is Life" and "Oslo"..
"Song For A" from Nico Cartosio's album "Melting". The composers description:"Song for A is the only song on the album. It is performed by Angelina Jordan ..." I forgot to add the lyrics are from an old poem, if I recall correctly.
Hey Everyone! I realise I forgot to mention the importance of Cole Porter with Every Time We Say Goodbye! Apologies! I hope you enjoy the video! :D Thanks, Adam x
I also forgot to mention him. Cole Porter was a master songwriter and I wish Angelina wold do some more of his song. Just imagine what she could do to songs like *_Let's Do It, Begin The Beguine_* and maybe most of all *_Night and Day_*
Angelina's musical brain must be unique. Her timing is always perfect. Her low register is also unique. Good singers that go low end just talking and sounds weird. great commentary. Agree... Angelina is probably one of a kind.
I seem to say this all the time, but this is one of my all time favorite Angelina performances. She 10 years old here in the Summer of 2016 on this Oslo Norway rooftop. Her voice is amazing as usual, but in this one, for some reason I was totally captivated by her expressions also. It wasn't just her voice, but like always it was her presentation. But somehow this one was special. If her new fans haven't seen it, there is a great mash-up of Angelina and Ella Fitzgerald singing this song in a side by side video by pa1189j. It's well worth the watch, as I believe it is worth hearing this young lady match the vocals of a jazz legend. ua-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/v-deo.html
When I first heard this mash up with Ella I was blown away. Ella was already famous and a seasoned performer at 40 when she recorded this beautiful Cole Porter song in 1956. And as you said, Angelina was 10. In my opinion, Angelina's version is just as good as Ella's. I have no idea how that can be.
This was an exceptional performance- so relaxed, simple guitar accompanying. Great scene with beautiful natural lighting - Angelina was in the moment- conveys the meaning of the lyrics so well
I don't think there's no need to point out all the fantastic things Angelina did in this performance. It's probably sufficient to say that you're not the only one to be flabbergasted by this song. It's been voted "favorite recording" in several fan groups on Facebook a couple of times I think. For me it's the go-to video if I'm feeling a bit off the track and need a mental and emotional reset. I love how the golden sunlight of the Nordic summer evening smiles at Angelina and how she smiles back, the producer of this TV show also did a fantastic job and added some mystique to the whole thing. I almost forgot to mention that you'll probably be blown away by the next song as well, and you'll come to realize that Angelina is just as good with a full orchestra as she is with just the acoustic guitar, as long as it's a proper audio mix and pro recording. I'll be waiting impatiently until next time to see if you agree.
Many people may be hearing this song for the first time, or aren't familiar with the technical elements of it, so please don't suggest he shouldn't offer his analysis. You're plenty full of you're own opinions, LOL, and this is his channel. Thanks
Yes its quite a nice location. They were even prepared for wind and rain there. Those rootop locations became quite the fashion for corona time videos by well known DJs, I like that. I think one of her most gorgeous performances using a full orchestra backing is her work for russian Compozer Nico Cartozios instrumental Album. A fan created a lyrics video for "Song for A" with appropriate images: ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html Cartozio wrote it for her based on a poem from the 18xx years by Robert Burns. The backing brilliantly highlights her voice. Someome said her voice and the instruments are flowing into each other. Echa time I hear it, I like mit more.
This one I probably listen to everyday. Her voice is so mesmerizing in this one. I think you should try one of her Amy Winehouse covers next. She re-writes the lyrics in Back to Black and Rehab. Valerie is a fun one with her and her little sister on Venice Beach. Keep the reactions coming.
This one is one of my favorites, but it's not my #1. You have another good one ready to go with SUMMERTIME. I'm pretty sure I've heard all her stuff and if you keep on listening to her you will love the journey and you'll hear a lot of really incredible vocals.
I knew you would love this one, Adam! Not bad for a 10 year old girl ! And it was a suitable farewell song to Norway, as she left for USA shortly after.
Thanks for your thoughtful reaction to Angelina. This was a beautiful performance. It is amazing how she sings so beautifully these emotional, soft songs but also can transform to a beast for songs like I Put a Spell on You and It's a Man's World.
Hello Adam I so value your reaction to our wonderful Angel..this is such a beautiful enchanting rendition that I'm transfixed from beginning to end..as for the next video you're about to watch..well. Just know you'll be blown away ))
I could never name a favorite from Angelina.... but it's this one ;) That voice is so buttery smooth. The song is so perfectly paced. She just pulls you right in. I won't say how many times I have listened to this one... but it is a large number. In my personal opinion this song has never been, or ever will be again sung as beautifully as she did it that day on that rooftop.... it's literally one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. ...and the fact that it came from a 10 year old... that's hard to even process. Just like you said, this is a once in a lifetime artist we are looking at. BTW: you asked about her range... as far as the recorded evidence available to us, her Low is a D#2 ("you make me feel so young") and her highest is G6 (Unchained Melody).
@@ragnarkisten You may have a better ear than me for these things (it is highly likely), but listen to the notes at about 2.13- 2.14 in this video and see what you think..... ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html
@@RustyShacklefordChannel FWIW, I think both the lowest and highest notes you have identified for her are an octave off. It would appear that the lowest I can sing "normally" (no vocal fry and not incredibly "breathy") this evening is right around a D#2. Now, I've long known that the lowest Angelina can go is almost exactly an octave higher than the lowest I can go, so I could believe that Angelina's lowest notes (in YMMFSY and UM) are around D3 or even C#3 (when I sing the relevant parts of these songs an octave below her, her lowest notes are _just_ beyond what I can sing "normally"), but obviously not D#2 (unless I'm actually a whole octave off, but keep reading). Now, as for her highest note in UM ua-cam.com/video/TroRUF2iwHA/v-deo.htmlm33s when I try to sing that at the same pitch, it is not at all pretty, but I can just barely reach it. Of course, singing it an octave lower is quite comfortable. But then I can go down the scale from there to the lowest note I can sing, and that turns out to be a difference of about 2 octaves + 2 tones. So, Angelina's range in that song must be around 2 octaves + 3 tones (or so). (Same thing for Bobby Hatfield's live version ua-cam.com/video/IYj2hex99gY/v-deo.html BTW.) That would mean her highest note is _maybe_ a G5, but certainly not a G6.
@@DonaldLancon You are correct on the G5 (typo on my part) , but that note she hits here is definitely lower than a D#3. This was confirmed by someone that I trust knows more than me at a D#2, and if I match it up with a virtual keyboard app, it sounds pretty close to me (but I do not claim to have a perfect ear for these things)......ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html
The fact that Angelina was still ten when she gave this performance is mind-boggling! As has been stated in a number of reactions on UA-cam, her timing is impeccable, and her pitch, vibrato, & breath control are extraordinary - even more so for a singer her age…. Another vocal coach suggested that she must have been pushed hard by her parents and coaches to develop these skills when she was so young. I doubt this. Based on interviews with her and her parents, and combining the fact that she’s had a passion for singing since she was a toddler - with being incredibly gifted, I don’t think she had to be “pushed” to do anything. (In this interview with her mother - after winning “Norway’s Got Talent” at age seven, her mother expresses more concern for letting Angelina have a “normal” life than pursuing a singing career. ua-cam.com/video/OP1ZUeCrbMI/v-deo.html ) Besides her “ear” for pitch, I am impressed with her natural ability to hear and mimic the subtle distinctions in intonation, vowel shaping, and style of various recording artists. She’s been doing Billie Holiday cover songs for several years; here’s an example at age twelve ua-cam.com/video/vy9r6rLJJq8/v-deo.html ….In this video she does a Dean Martin cover song (also at age twelve). ua-cam.com/video/FG5ht5FirwQ/v-deo.html For a young, female singer, her vocal range is exceptionally low, allowing her to sometimes be singing in the same octave as a male singer. Contrast this with her Whitney Houston tribute (age thirteen) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html I don’t think it’s one of her goals (she’s done very well at creating her own sound and distinctive renditions), but when her voice is fully developed, she could have successful performances impersonating other recording artists. If there’s an area where she could get even better, it might be vocal power when hitting big, high notes. This, of course, is nitpicking when comparing her performance with that of Whitney Houston, arguably the greatest female, pop music singer of all time - at the height of her career....To compare Whitney's recording with Angelina's cover (age thirteen) ua-cam.com/video/FxYw0XPEoKE/v-deo.html
Max Steiner You have to click “date added” and choose “oldest”. Odd, on some channels you can scroll down (and down), through a decade of videos. Other channels stop after 30-or-so vids. Adam should know more.
Still holding out for you.....That’s the newest song I’ve heard her say it’s unbelievable really comment on that if you haven’t an already done....Thank you
Not only does she have a range in her sounds low, high. But, she sounds authentic no matter the song, a jazz song, a pop song, blues and original! Thank you for your perspectives!!
Again, you really made a reaction worth seeing. I am surprised you don't have 50 or 100k subscribers, but I guess it will come along the way. Almost all the songs that Angelina has sung, can be listened to again and again, without getting enough, but this one and "Welcome to my world", are my two absolute favorites. Unfortunately "Welcome to my world" is "only" 1:43 minutes...
Thanks Adam, no matter how many times you play tracks from A J you will never get board, she adapts to each song and puts her own stamp on each song, and you will still get the odd surprise. Thanks. Stay safe.
last time i wrote and hoped you would react to this version and here we go you did it and i thank you for this,,,,,,,,after six years of Angelina its still the song i listen to every other day,,,,,,its makes my happy , thankful and fearless,,,,,her face expressions in this video are like a story you never want to end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanx again
I didn’t discovet Ella until my 30s, i felt a little robbed that it took that long. When Ella sings the American Songbook she’s the one that is the standard of those standards. Now we have Angelina stepping into Ellas shoes and she stands right next to Ella on these songs. Its exciting because the hope of hearing her live is part of the experience. Her voice is buttery and is without peer. Her voice with the guitar is so beautiful as her lower range is so full, round, and warm it rivals the broad warmth of the guitar.
Her audition song Gloomy Sunday on Norway’s got talent is a must. Also her tribute song to her grandpa, whom she adored, You Were Always On My Mind. You will love them both!❤️ thanks
Angelina and Aurora - two very different voices and personalities - but great artists. Norway has a lot of good singers who perhaps had deserved more acclaim. Consider to listen to DAGNY: Love you like that SIGRID: Dynamite High As A Kite: Lover, where do you live
Ohhhh! Wowww when ever I listen to beautiful music, my ears tingle my soul melts into another realm. A.J. is one sound that my ears demand and my soul melts for.
My mother used to play this on the piano and sing it for me. Angelina sang this Cole porter classic so beautifully! You can tell shes listened to the jazz greats and integrated them into her singing . Ty for reviewing this :)
She has a talent that's very very rare. This kind of talent comes by on this planet earth probably every 100 years or so. like I said she is super special god's gifted super star child entertainer. The question is how can a child/teenager at such a young age can convey all this such as perfect pitch, on que, and arranging the song in a stylistic unique way and delivers the music so beautifully .I believe that she is the Queen Of music. I've seen the best of best and forget the rest cause she is the best that's walking on this planet earth and the rest is going to be HERSTORy) history. BAM!!! That's what I'm talking about .I know that she always blows mind every time you listen and react to her covers.
Yes, singing like that at the age of 10 is a once in a lifetime talent. I agree with your comments and I would love to hear her sing more Cole Porter songs. The Summertime video you paused on is also one of my favorites. I hope to see you react to that one soon. Thank you for your reactions to Angelina! I also listen to your other reactions and I'm discovering Dimash with you and it's quite a discovery to say the least.
This is a new one for me, and I loved it! I've always been a big Ella fan, and I can definitely hear that Angelina is familiar with her recording of this song. But as always, she makes it her own. I agree, the single acoustic guitar accompaniment is the best way to showcase Angelina's talents. It's not that she doesn't do well with larger or different instrumental groups, but with the guitar she's just magic. Partly that's just that she's been blessed to have a couple of really good guitarists accompanying her on a lot of videos, while the quality of the larger groups has been less consistent. But it's mostly just that keeping the accompaniment to a single instrument allows us to focus more on her wonderful voice and musical choices.
When Angelina start singing, I feel like flying over Norwegian fjord. I love all the song she sings, but this one I love most. Thanks Adam for your professional review. Love from Indonesia 🎉 ❤️🇮🇩
Great reaction and on point comments! I am a musician, but not a singer. To me, this sounds like a very difficult song to sing, with those long, slow phrases that somehow just hang in the air forever. Yet Angelina Jordan does it effortlessly. Absolutely brilliant!
Adam, you're on a roll now! This is one of my favorites. I believe it was filmed on a roof top in Oslo. I agree with you, Angelina and a guitar is magic. It lets us enjoy every syllable she sings. But, Adam, lets not dismiss the affect she has on us when she looks directly at us with those eyes and knows exactly where to fit in a beautiful smile. She captivates us and we love it. Everything is beautiful. Inside and out.
Angelina voice is absolutely incredible, every word she sings becomes alive in the heart, its as if she becomes part of what she is singing. She is a real blessing and l can only say thank you for sharing your amazing gift with us.
I am 71 and I’m blown away every single time I listen to her I’ve been following her since her recordings first came out when she was six. There is nothing in this world that can compare to her she is a gift from God a gift that we very rarely have Privy to. We should embrace it definitely embrace her and put her up there with the stars the moon and the sun she’s beautiful she’s talented she plays multiple instruments she writes books and music she is phenomenal we will never see another like her in our lifetime
Here she is, on Norwegian National Television, at ten years old, showing the world how this song should be sung. What a gorgeous performance - I never tire of hearing it.
It is just the best thing to see how Angelina melts you from the get go. This performance provides a wonderful example of how much attention she pays to what the original artist put together in technique and style. And then to deliver her own gem to an audience with breathtaking grace and elegance. Thank you for reviewing this piece.
That's just a perfect rendering of this Cole Porter classic. I've heard it so many times for its quiet perfection, and your reaction was just wonderful! Please do the Summer Time with orchestra one soon! That one is another kind of perfection.
....so incredible soothing and beautiful! She brings just real music back...Love when it's only the voice and a few instruments...so it's the voice that give us the art. Awsome reaction!
Hi Adam, please react to Angelina Jordan " Gloomy Sunday and I'm a Fool To Want You (acapella)" also " Bohemian Rapsody and Goodby Yellow Brick Road" Thank You
Musicality is equivalent to Ella's recording, except for a degree of richness (still warm whole milk vs whole cream). I think this is because Angelina 10 and Ellla 39 has physical implications.
Angelina has her share of masterpiece performances and this is definitely one of them. The purity of her voice is astounding and her minimal use of ornamentation just accentuates that. Not only would Ella have loved this, but so would Cole Porter. I've enjoyed watching your journey from "I've Got A Spell On You" through this one and it is just wonderful to see how much of a devotee you have become. Angelina's not perfect. There are some of her performances I prefer not to watch. But, for my money, she is as close to perfection as a true artist can get. Please consider reacting to her original composition, "Shield" (the live performance, not the staged video). It shows yet another facet of her versatility. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
Great reaction as always. The last time I heard this song was by Simply Red. Could you imagine a duet of Angelina Jordan and Mick Hucknall? What a performance that would be!
Just looked at some of the comments. They mostly summarize down to WOW!!! This is an amazing rendition, as good as Ella's. How can I even say that for a 10 year old? Exquisite voice, exquisite timing, exquisite interpretation, beautiful location-- it doesn't get better than this (well, except one day to be at the same location as Angelina ). Thanks for this one. I understand why you like just the guitar with Angelina, but I find them all impressive: guitar, jazz combo, full orchestra. She makes it work always. Waiting for the next one.

She can sing with a guitarist, a jazz band, a piano, and a full orchestra. She has no apparent limits.
Mike, yeah! unlimited Angelina"cute"Jordan in singing.
And the military band - but I didn't enjoy them at all!
@@nyima04011 She recorded an album with that military band and they're usually great. Must have been a bad recording.
She's only limited by Gravity.
Another bang on reaction. Her vocals are so smooth and clear, her timing impeccable. Of course i enjoyed it, Adam !
This is an absolute masterpiece , not soon if ever to be matched. Words fail to praise her in this performance!!
Just an ez afternoon for Angel... ;)
Yes, a beautiful performance. This is a hard song to sing. It’s not the type of song you’d ever expect a ten year old to handle well-unless that ten year old was a master at the timing and nuances of soft jazz, had fluid vocal flexibility, and also had a relaxed voice that just glides between octaves without effort. Fortunately, Angelina has all of those abilities in spades. She seems to have a limitless toolbox that allows her to select whatever vocal components she needs to fit the song she chooses. Whatever she sings seems to be in her comfort zone, whether she’s taking on Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Adele, Elvis, Queen, Dinah Washington, Screamin Jay Hawkins, etc., etc., etc...
And for all the times I’ve heard her sing, I never get tired of hearing her everyday. I can’t say that about any other singer, and I’ve been listening to music since the 1950’s.
I believe she has a 5 octave range. I agree, just a guitar is all that is needed. It allows us to hear clearly that epic voice.
Natural range C3 to C5, 2 octaves. Of course she can sing with falsetto above that but not normally counted. Most people limited to 1.5 octaves, but many trained singers can have up to 2.5 octaves range, rare ones more.
WOW pretty much covers that. What an incredible performance of this song that done Angel style just pierces your sole...so much feeling.
Hi Adam, That was a real nice reaction, thank you. This song was done right before she moved to America. So far they know she has a 3-5+ octave range, I believe Angelina is a low contralto or a dramatic contralto
“I who have nothing” was 6yrs old . By Tom Jones ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html in her schools sound booth studio.
at NGT she sings "I'm a fool to want you" a cappella & she was 7 & it was round 2. This is very haunting. Show me a 7 yr old that can do this. ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html Please react to these.
You're doing great so far, Adam. Keep it up.
I have been following Anglina for 7 years Now and I still have trouble rapping my brain is around what I'm listening to. And how is it possible.
A God gift he is sharing with us.
Great Reaction Adam Stay Safe
Rick, every thing is possible to Angelina. But i don't surprise about her singing..She is so talented. I'm her ardent fan since 2014. Amazing Angelina!!!
Just an awesome performance.You should see her performance of “I would rather go blind”. It’s just her with a microphone
I'm a Dimash dear but I appreciate very much Angelina Jordan, that was a stunning performance and the song (that I did'nt know) is very beautiful
I am a Dimash dear too, and I love Angelina. She takes me out of this world too.
Your recognition of her ability is appreciated as a long time fan. She can sing most anything! Not yet found.
This really tears me up. I listening to her a lot. She calm us down and healing our harts. Great reaction, Adam.😎🇸🇪👍
For me there are only two singers filling up my playlist. I dont find room for either Dimash or Diana there. Its mostly Angelina, but also Aurora. Thats why I appreciate your videos so much, Adam. You have top class reactions. This song is a true masterpiece for us Angelina fans. Its so soothing and delicate, just gorgeous. Thank you, Adam 👍
breathtaking , captivating ... she is so incredible... cole porter 's loving it...

Love your kind words, with this pandemic I just needed this,thank you
Beautiful...that made my afternoon, that young lady voice is smooth as honey. Stunning!
I said this before: when God listens to music, He listens to the likes of Mozart and Bach. When Angels listen to music, they listen to another Angel named Angelina Jordan and God eavesdrops.
Thank you for your reaction and keep them coming.
This absolutely drives me crazy how on Earth can the 10 year old girl singing like this
Yes! thank you for this one. She was only 10 years old when she performed this. This one is in the top 5 on my playlist for her. You have done some of her slower songs with the simple accompaniment which highlight her smooth and full tones very well. I think it might be time for one of her more up-tempo and boisterous songs. I'd love to hear your reaction to her cover of James Brown's "This is a Man's World" - ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html. She is backed by the Norwegian Military band and it is a great look at her belting capability.
This is also one of my favorites. But the best performance is the one that’s audio only. The band in that one is awesome. It can be found in the Angelina in concert that’s about 32 minutes long. But someone has probably just singled out that song as well
When I saw the conductor of the band look over to her - he clearly was amazed with the power of her voice - I listened to the track from the album- the live performance was far superior- he probably was thinking- "you never sang like that in rehearsal!"
I love the standing ovation the band is giving Angelina.
It's a Man's World....with a full orchestra will blow your mind..
You do realize she is covering the legendary 'Godfather Of Soul' (James Brown) here? Oh, I'm sure there
are plenty of young girls who could do it as well as Angelina. Heck, there are no singers anywhere that
could pull this off. Same goes for Whitney's 'I Have Nothing'.
This is a type of performance that won't just make her famous, but legendary!
Adam - Her guitar accompanied songs are also my favorites. This was pure perfection - everything worked here, including the lovely setting. I’ve listened to this many times, but only noticed something today. I thought she sang this in a “straight up, no chaser” style, to use an archaic reference to a way of ordering whiskey at the bar. I mean her voice was not really embellished in anyway by a lot of clever techniques. She just followed the original melody and used her natural voice throughout, with no frills. Beautiful.
Great reacton! Always think this version of "Evertime We say Goodbye" is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you will like her original "Song for A" and the songs which she wrote when she was 11 years old called "What is Life" and "Oslo"..
"Song For A" from Nico Cartosio's album "Melting". The composers description:"Song for A is the only song on the album. It is performed by Angelina Jordan ..." I forgot to add the lyrics are from an old poem, if I recall correctly.
Hey Everyone!
I realise I forgot to mention the importance of Cole Porter with Every Time We Say Goodbye! Apologies!
I hope you enjoy the video! :D
Thanks,
Adam x
Also I just watched the video video of you reacting to MusicByMays!

I also forgot to mention him. Cole Porter was a master songwriter and I wish Angelina wold do some more of his song. Just imagine what she could do to songs like *_Let's Do It, Begin The Beguine_* and maybe most of all *_Night and Day_*
Angelina's musical brain must be unique. Her timing is always perfect.
Her low register is also unique. Good singers that go low end just talking and sounds weird.
great commentary. Agree... Angelina is probably one of a kind.
that's how i rate really great singers. what does their low end sounds like.
I seem to say this all the time, but this is one of my all time favorite Angelina performances. She 10 years old here in the Summer of 2016 on this Oslo Norway rooftop. Her voice is amazing as usual, but in this one, for some reason I was totally captivated by her expressions also. It wasn't just her voice, but like always it was her presentation. But somehow this one was special. If her new fans haven't seen it, there is a great mash-up of Angelina and Ella Fitzgerald singing this song in a side by side video by pa1189j. It's well worth the watch, as I believe it is worth hearing this young lady match the vocals of a jazz legend. ua-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/v-deo.html
When I first heard this mash up with Ella I was blown away. Ella was already famous and a seasoned performer at 40 when she recorded this beautiful Cole Porter song in 1956. And as you said, Angelina was 10. In my opinion, Angelina's version is just as good as Ella's. I have no idea how that can be.
@@wajj1842 Well my idea is that when the human race received Angelina as a "gift from the universe" she did not come alone :-)
This was an exceptional performance- so relaxed, simple guitar accompanying. Great scene with beautiful natural lighting - Angelina was in the moment- conveys the meaning of the lyrics so well
@@lesgray9533 Yes, I agree. She's done a ton of covers (I believe over 100), and for me, this is in my Top 10. Stunningly Beautiful!
In that ‘mash-up’ I had to make one concession to make it work. Did anyone notice what that was?
Autumn leaves, yes, she sung that one at age 10. And it's beautiful as always.
This has been my favorite a couple of times before. Hearing it together with you has made it my favorite again :D
I don't think there's no need to point out all the fantastic things Angelina did in this performance. It's probably sufficient to say that you're not the only one to be flabbergasted by this song. It's been voted "favorite recording" in several fan groups on Facebook a couple of times I think. For me it's the go-to video if I'm feeling a bit off the track and need a mental and emotional reset. I love how the golden sunlight of the Nordic summer evening smiles at Angelina and how she smiles back, the producer of this TV show also did a fantastic job and added some mystique to the whole thing.
I almost forgot to mention that you'll probably be blown away by the next song as well, and you'll come to realize that Angelina is just as good with a full orchestra as she is with just the acoustic guitar, as long as it's a proper audio mix and pro recording. I'll be waiting impatiently until next time to see if you agree.
Many people may be hearing this song for the first time, or aren't familiar with the technical elements of it, so please don't suggest he shouldn't offer his analysis. You're plenty full of you're own opinions, LOL, and this is his channel. Thanks
@@nyima04011 I simply ment that I don't have to tell Adam anything, because he seems to understand a lot more than most.
@@YozhikvTumane sorry for the misunderstanding.
@@nyima04011 no worries, I see now when I return to read my comment that I could have expressed myself a bit more clearly
This was a special performance. It was just before she was leaving Norway to move to the States. Beautiful!
Sherri, she was 10 here & going to the US for a visit. She & her family didn't move to LA until she was 12.
Keith, sorry if I got it wrong. I read this In a bio someone wrote elsewhere.
Wow. I didn’t even realize she was living in the states now.
Yes its quite a nice location. They were even prepared for wind and rain there. Those rootop locations became quite the fashion for corona time videos by well known DJs, I like that.
I think one of her most gorgeous performances using a full orchestra backing is her work for russian Compozer Nico Cartozios instrumental Album. A fan created a lyrics video for "Song for A" with appropriate images: ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html
Cartozio wrote it for her based on a poem from the 18xx years by Robert Burns. The backing brilliantly highlights her voice.
Someome said her voice and the instruments are flowing into each other. Echa time I hear it, I like mit more.
This one I probably listen to everyday. Her voice is so mesmerizing in this one. I think you should try one of her Amy Winehouse covers next. She re-writes the lyrics in Back to Black and Rehab. Valerie is a fun one with her and her little sister on Venice Beach. Keep the reactions coming.
This one is one of my favorites, but it's not my #1. You have another good one ready to go with SUMMERTIME. I'm pretty sure I've heard all her stuff and if you keep on listening to her you will love the journey and you'll hear a lot of really incredible vocals.
I knew you would love this one, Adam! Not bad for a 10 year old girl ! And it was a suitable farewell song to Norway, as she left for USA shortly after.
Thanks for your thoughtful reaction to Angelina. This was a beautiful performance. It is amazing how she sings so beautifully these emotional, soft songs but also can transform to a beast for songs like I Put a Spell on You and It's a Man's World.
You're right! EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR HER SING!
Hello Adam I so value your reaction to our wonderful Angel..this is such a beautiful enchanting rendition that I'm transfixed from beginning to end..as for the next video you're about to watch..well. Just know you'll be blown away ))
Kevin Good Thanks so much!
You could have just continued with the next video in your picture where she is singing Summertime with the KORK orchestra.
Request: Do Valerie and Nothing Breaks Like a Heart. (nag, nag ... 🤓)
Hey....where's the fabulous vocal fry? and her rasp?
A good cook knows knows it's better to not throw everything you got into the pot.
I could never name a favorite from Angelina.... but it's this one ;) That voice is so buttery smooth. The song is so perfectly paced. She just pulls you right in. I won't say how many times I have listened to this one... but it is a large number. In my personal opinion this song has never been, or ever will be again sung as beautifully as she did it that day on that rooftop.... it's literally one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. ...and the fact that it came from a 10 year old... that's hard to even process. Just like you said, this is a once in a lifetime artist we are looking at. BTW: you asked about her range... as far as the recorded evidence available to us, her Low is a D#2 ("you make me feel so young") and her highest is G6 (Unchained Melody).
Rusty Shackleford Thanks so much for this Rusty! I always look for your comments and love the insight you add! Thank you :)
She is deep, Ill give you that. But it is D#3 not 2. Even a deep bass rarely goes below C2.
@@ragnarkisten You may have a better ear than me for these things (it is highly likely), but listen to the notes at about 2.13- 2.14 in this video and see what you think..... ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html
@@RustyShacklefordChannel FWIW, I think both the lowest and highest notes you have identified for her are an octave off. It would appear that the lowest I can sing "normally" (no vocal fry and not incredibly "breathy") this evening is right around a D#2. Now, I've long known that the lowest Angelina can go is almost exactly an octave higher than the lowest I can go, so I could believe that Angelina's lowest notes (in YMMFSY and UM) are around D3 or even C#3 (when I sing the relevant parts of these songs an octave below her, her lowest notes are _just_ beyond what I can sing "normally"), but obviously not D#2 (unless I'm actually a whole octave off, but keep reading). Now, as for her highest note in UM ua-cam.com/video/TroRUF2iwHA/v-deo.htmlm33s when I try to sing that at the same pitch, it is not at all pretty, but I can just barely reach it. Of course, singing it an octave lower is quite comfortable. But then I can go down the scale from there to the lowest note I can sing, and that turns out to be a difference of about 2 octaves + 2 tones. So, Angelina's range in that song must be around 2 octaves + 3 tones (or so). (Same thing for Bobby Hatfield's live version ua-cam.com/video/IYj2hex99gY/v-deo.html BTW.) That would mean her highest note is _maybe_ a G5, but certainly not a G6.
@@DonaldLancon You are correct on the G5 (typo on my part) , but that note she hits here is definitely lower than a D#3. This was confirmed by someone that I trust knows more than me at a D#2, and if I match it up with a virtual keyboard app, it sounds pretty close to me (but I do not claim to have a perfect ear for these things)......ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html
Great commentary. For me it's difficult to find the right words to describe the uniqueness of her voice. Perfection.
One of my favourit performence from Angelina. It's flawless 🤩
The fact that Angelina was still ten when she gave this performance is mind-boggling! As has been stated in a number of reactions on UA-cam, her timing is impeccable, and her pitch, vibrato, & breath control are extraordinary - even more so for a singer her age….
Another vocal coach suggested that she must have been pushed hard by her parents and coaches to develop these skills when she was so young. I doubt this. Based on interviews with her and her parents, and combining the fact that she’s had a passion for singing since she was a toddler - with being incredibly gifted, I don’t think she had to be “pushed” to do anything. (In this interview with her mother - after winning “Norway’s Got Talent” at age seven, her mother expresses more concern for letting Angelina have a “normal” life than pursuing a singing career. ua-cam.com/video/OP1ZUeCrbMI/v-deo.html )
Besides her “ear” for pitch, I am impressed with her natural ability to hear and mimic the subtle distinctions in intonation, vowel shaping, and style of various recording artists. She’s been doing Billie Holiday cover songs for several years; here’s an example at age twelve ua-cam.com/video/vy9r6rLJJq8/v-deo.html ….In this video she does a Dean Martin cover song (also at age twelve). ua-cam.com/video/FG5ht5FirwQ/v-deo.html For a young, female singer, her vocal range is exceptionally low, allowing her to sometimes be singing in the same octave as a male singer. Contrast this with her Whitney Houston tribute (age thirteen) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html I don’t think it’s one of her goals (she’s done very well at creating her own sound and distinctive renditions), but when her voice is fully developed, she could have successful performances impersonating other recording artists.
If there’s an area where she could get even better, it might be vocal power when hitting big, high notes. This, of course, is nitpicking when comparing her performance with that of Whitney Houston, arguably the greatest female, pop music singer of all time - at the height of her career....To compare Whitney's recording with Angelina's cover (age thirteen) ua-cam.com/video/FxYw0XPEoKE/v-deo.html
EVERYTIME! I hear this girl sing a new song its my FAVOURITE!
Impossible to sing this song any better.
Every thing is possible to Angelina"cute"Jordan. Mission possible.
🙏🙏👍👍💙💙 u haven't seen anything yet by ag go further with her then u will see how versatile she is I never seen any singer as versatile as she is
What happend to all your earlier vids? I no longer see your first vids.
Max Steiner You have to click “date added” and choose “oldest”. Odd, on some channels you can scroll down (and down), through a decade of videos. Other channels stop after 30-or-so vids. Adam should know more.
Nexus8VK Thank you for advising this!
Hi Adam. This is a wonderful reaction. Thanks for giving us such lovely, tender, emotional moments, filling our hearts with content peace!!!!!
Still holding out for you.....That’s the newest song I’ve heard her say it’s unbelievable really comment on that if you haven’t an already done....Thank you
Not only does she have a range in her sounds low, high. But, she sounds authentic no matter the song, a jazz song, a pop song, blues and original!
Thank you for your perspectives!!
Again, you really made a reaction worth seeing. I am surprised you don't have 50 or 100k subscribers, but I guess it will come along the way.
Almost all the songs that Angelina has sung, can be listened to again and again, without getting enough, but this one and "Welcome to my world", are my two absolute favorites. Unfortunately "Welcome to my world" is "only" 1:43 minutes...
Ove Hansen Thank you so much!!
Thanks Adam, no matter how many times you play tracks from A J you will never get board, she adapts to each song and puts her own stamp on each song, and you will still get the odd surprise.
Thanks.
Stay safe.
Thank you Adam for your continued support of Angelina's work. Thumbs up sir.
last time i wrote and hoped you would react to this version and here we go you did it and i thank you for this,,,,,,,,after six years of Angelina its still the song i listen to every other day,,,,,,its makes my happy , thankful and fearless,,,,,her face expressions in this video are like a story you never want to end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanx again
I didn’t discovet Ella until my 30s, i felt a little robbed that it took that long. When Ella sings the American Songbook she’s the one that is the standard of those standards. Now we have Angelina stepping into Ellas shoes and she stands right next to Ella on these songs. Its exciting because the hope of hearing her live is part of the experience. Her voice is buttery and is without peer. Her voice with the guitar is so beautiful as her lower range is so full, round, and warm it rivals the broad warmth of the guitar.
Her audition song Gloomy Sunday on Norway’s got talent is a must. Also her tribute song to her grandpa, whom she adored, You Were Always On My Mind. You will love them both!❤️ thanks
As always no words a gift from above! Great Job! keep them coming!
Angelina and Aurora - two very different voices and personalities - but great artists. Norway has a lot
of good singers who perhaps had deserved more acclaim. Consider to listen to DAGNY: Love you like that SIGRID: Dynamite High As A Kite: Lover, where do you live
Ohhhh! Wowww when ever I listen to beautiful music, my ears tingle my soul melts into another realm. A.J. is one sound that my ears demand and my soul melts for.
If someone would ask me if there has ever been a perfect singing performance, I would show them this performance.
Hi, AJ has sprinkled Angel Dust since she was 8 she is phenomenal and a genius and so humble, beautifully done! Thank you for your great reaction!❗💜
My mother used to play this on the piano and sing it for me. Angelina sang this Cole porter classic so beautifully! You can tell shes listened to the jazz greats and integrated them into her singing . Ty for reviewing this :)
Laurie Sweeney Oh wow! What beautiful memories of this song that you must have!
She has a talent that's very very rare. This kind of talent comes by on this planet earth probably every 100 years or so. like I said she is super special god's gifted super star child entertainer. The question is how can a child/teenager at such a young age can convey all this such as perfect pitch, on que, and arranging the song in a stylistic unique way and delivers the music so beautifully .I believe that she is the Queen Of music. I've seen the best of best and forget the rest cause she is the best that's walking on this planet earth and the rest is going to be HERSTORy) history. BAM!!! That's what I'm talking about .I know that she always blows mind every time you listen and react to her covers.
Yes, singing like that at the age of 10 is a once in a lifetime talent. I agree with your comments and I would love to hear her sing more Cole Porter songs. The Summertime video you paused on is also one of my favorites. I hope to see you react to that one soon. Thank you for your reactions to Angelina! I also listen to your other reactions and I'm discovering Dimash with you and it's quite a discovery to say the least.
This is a new one for me, and I loved it! I've always been a big Ella fan, and I can definitely hear that Angelina is familiar with her recording of this song. But as always, she makes it her own. I agree, the single acoustic guitar accompaniment is the best way to showcase Angelina's talents. It's not that she doesn't do well with larger or different instrumental groups, but with the guitar she's just magic. Partly that's just that she's been blessed to have a couple of really good guitarists accompanying her on a lot of videos, while the quality of the larger groups has been less consistent. But it's mostly just that keeping the accompaniment to a single instrument allows us to focus more on her wonderful voice and musical choices.
Love this, also her version of The First Time is amazing.
Angelina singsing i ready Enjoy she is always the Best very special Little Angle🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
When Angelina start singing, I feel like flying over Norwegian fjord. I love all the song she sings, but this one I love most. Thanks Adam for your professional review. Love from Indonesia 🎉 ❤️🇮🇩
Perfect. I love Angelina Jordan. She is talented way beyond her age, sings like an angel ! On key is so natural. She just couldn’t be better! ❤️
Absolute slice of perfection, this.
Great reaction and on point comments! I am a musician, but not a singer. To me, this sounds like a very difficult song to sing, with those long, slow phrases that somehow just hang in the air forever. Yet Angelina Jordan does it effortlessly. Absolutely brilliant!
Another gem!
Adam, you're on a roll now! This is one of my favorites. I believe it was filmed on a roof top in Oslo. I agree with you, Angelina and a guitar is magic. It lets us enjoy every syllable she sings. But, Adam, lets not dismiss the affect she has on us when she looks directly at us with those eyes and knows exactly where to fit in a beautiful smile. She captivates us and we love it. Everything is beautiful. Inside and out.
I don't know how I missed this but it feels new. It's bliss.
I read a couple days ago Angelina has a 5 octave range.
AJ’s phrasing and timing are fine brush strokes painting a gorgeous picture.
Angelina takes us to a wonderlful journey into time and beyond.her voice and her soul is by now the right vacine against evil and the virus
Angelina voice is absolutely incredible, every word she sings becomes alive in the heart, its as if she becomes part of what she is singing. She is a real blessing and l can only say thank you for sharing your amazing gift with us.
Thank you for reacting to this perfectly lovely performance. No gimmicks, nothing flashy, just the angelic presence and celestial voice of Angelina. 💖
You can’t praise angelina enough my god what a voice
I am 71 and I’m blown away every single time I listen to her I’ve been following her since her recordings first came out when she was six. There is nothing in this world that can compare to her she is a gift from God a gift that we very rarely have Privy to. We should embrace it definitely embrace her and put her up there with the stars the moon and the sun she’s beautiful she’s talented she plays multiple instruments she writes books and music she is phenomenal we will never see another like her in our lifetime
She is so gifted its beyond awesome
6:13 She actually did a song called "autumn leaves" at the age of 10. The scenery in that video is just as you described.
Here she is, on Norwegian National Television, at ten years old, showing the world how this song should be sung. What a gorgeous performance - I never tire of hearing it.
It is just the best thing to see how Angelina melts you from the get go. This performance provides a wonderful example of how much attention she pays to what the original artist put together in technique and style. And then to deliver her own gem to an audience with breathtaking grace and elegance. Thank you for reviewing this piece.
Even at 10, her vocal tone is absolutely extraordinary. I've never heard better. What a gift.
That's just a perfect rendering of this Cole Porter classic. I've heard it so many times for its quiet perfection, and your reaction was just wonderful! Please do the Summer Time with orchestra one soon! That one is another kind of perfection.
....so incredible soothing and beautiful! She brings just real music back...Love when it's only the voice and a few instruments...so it's the voice that give us the art. Awsome reaction!
❤️ your reaction 👍😊
Hi Adam, please react to Angelina Jordan " Gloomy Sunday and I'm a Fool To Want You (acapella)" also " Bohemian Rapsody and Goodby Yellow Brick Road"
Thank You
Musicality is equivalent to Ella's recording, except for a degree of richness (still warm whole milk vs whole cream). I think this is because Angelina 10 and Ellla 39 has physical implications.
Angelina has her share of masterpiece performances and this is definitely one of them. The purity of her voice is astounding and her minimal use of ornamentation just accentuates that. Not only would Ella have loved this, but so would Cole Porter. I've enjoyed watching your journey from "I've Got A Spell On You" through this one and it is just wonderful to see how much of a devotee you have become. Angelina's not perfect. There are some of her performances I prefer not to watch. But, for my money, she is as close to perfection as a true artist can get. Please consider reacting to her original composition, "Shield" (the live performance, not the staged video). It shows yet another facet of her versatility. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
Great reaction as always. The last time I heard this song was by Simply Red. Could you imagine a duet of Angelina Jordan and Mick Hucknall? What a performance that would be!
Just looked at some of the comments. They mostly summarize down to WOW!!! This is an amazing rendition, as good as Ella's. How can I even say that for a 10 year old? Exquisite voice, exquisite timing, exquisite interpretation, beautiful location-- it doesn't get better than this (well, except one day to be at the same location as Angelina ). Thanks for this one. I understand why you like just the guitar with Angelina, but I find them all impressive: guitar, jazz combo, full orchestra. She makes it work always. Waiting for the next one.
Here her sing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen Angelina did it beautifully
Great reaction! This is one of my favourites too!
