Hi Philip, She was 10 Years old when she did This song and some of her 10 year old Songs are Brilliant and My Favorite songs And Will be 18 years on 10th Jan 2024 and her favorite Artist Is Billie Holiday i Think by her Grandmother and she did 2 songs on Norwegian Got Talent at the Age of 7 Years old And won the Show. Chris Tredwell Birmingham UK
10 years old. 17 today, signed with Republic Records 3 years ago. Her first original with Republic Records was Million Miles, a song about her grandpa passing away and dedicated to all that have lost a loved one ❤️ I love that song. It has helped me heal the loss of my dad ❤️ Angelina is an old soul bringing back all the classics from the past and that soulful, rich voice make it sound amazing ❤️
Kent Ove, my condolences. It is hard to loose a parent, I should know, I lost both of them. You my friend and co-angel, be safe and sound. A Greeting, Elmar from Germany.
@@elmarwinkler6335 Thank you so much for heartfelt words ❤️ Losing him at the age of 13 was insane.... and he was only 37... He did not get to live a life, just only for a short time ❤️
@@kentovewagenes1141 Again my friend, my heartfelt sympathy for you. At that young age, to loose one´s parent IS hard. You question the ONE. I am 64 almost and lost my parents (not so long ago) to cancer, as did AJ. Imagine your mother is telling you, Dear the doctors tell me, that I will die in 8 weeks. I realy hope this is not something you had to go through. Be safe, blessed and have a nice weekend.
there are many rumours. It's actually her song because she sang it first, but only as a demo. I think it's quite simple, the song would have gone through the roof and for her 10 years on this song and the way she is protected by her family it would have been too soon with the hype that followed and as mentioned would have been without a record deal it would have been difficult to release this song and only others would have benefited from it. but that's just a guess on my part
Shamans Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.
Welcome to Angelinas world. There are good singers, star singers but there is only one Angelina. Acording to Stargate producers Angelina is "Freaking, insanely, scary talented". Angelina is now 17 yo and we think that her parents has alowed that she can be promotet this year. If you react to her songs you may find bad recordings and songs you dont like but you never will find a bad performence by Angelina at any age.
I'd say you're in the right business. You have picked up on the essentials of Angelina Jordan right out of the gate. I wish you well and will follow your journey with Angelina. Jordan
Substantiated rumours are stating an album release in the coming months. She is finishing high school in the coming month. I believe that her entourage wanted her to finish school before launching in a full time artistic career.
Welcome to the best singer I’ve ever heard. That voice you like is infinitely flexible, and her vocal textures will leave you shaking your head. You see what she can do at 10 years old. Try her own incredible arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, live, at 13, on America’s Got Talent to understand that Angelina is truly once in a lifetime. This song today is just one iteration of her voice-she is just as amazing across many genres.
Here are two links to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (Queen)… AGT-C (must hear): ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html AJ’s YT channel: ua-cam.com/video/dngwV0MlRGE/v-deo.html
Ever since I first heard this I thought that if it had been released at the time it would have charted....considering she was 10 and her parents were trying to keep her having as normal a childhood as possible and had already seen what winning Norways Got Talent had resulted in.....I think that not releasing this was a conscious decision. The video was fan made quite sometime after she cut this demo for Baby Fuzz.
This was a demo that Angelina was asked to record by Brandon Lowry (BabyFuZz) before he released his song. His friends had suggested that Angelina should be asked to sing it. Because of the subject of suicide, as featured in it, he parents didn't want the demo to go any further. While the demo was recorded when she was 10 years old, someone with access to it leaked it 2 years later. Had the unnamed "leaker" not shared her demo, the world would have missed out on this work of art. The fan video itself was also masterfully done, so hats off to him/her as well.
Baby Fuzz is quoted as saying he was unaware of Angelina’s recording. The song was written by Baby Fuzz and the team who helped Angelina write her song ‘Shield’. Makes sense the other writers had the backing track and asked her to record this without his knowledge.
There’s no real evidence out in the public domain that explains for sure why it was never released. It may just as easily have been her mother and uncle realized this would launch her before she was old enough. And it could just have likely been that they didn’t own the rights to the song and couldn’t have released it if they wanted too. Any of the explanations out there are pure speculation.
You got all that from searching UA-cam and the internet? Sorry, but I’ve been following Angelina for a long time, and there is nothing to support your version. The reality is that Baby Fuzz also made a demo for this song, but it did not get any interest, so he used his demo and released it as the official version, so you would not have any idea when he made his demo in relation to when Angelina made this demo! And the subject of suicide couldn’t even possibly been the reason that Angelina didn’t acquire the rights to the song herself, she has sung several songs which referred to suicide, and if the lyrics of a song crossed the line, then her mother made her rewrite the lyrics, see “Back to Black” and other Amy Winehouse songs that Angelina has sung, even “I’m a Fool to Want You” is about drug use, the way Billie Holiday sang it, and there was no stopping her from singing that song, and get real, once an artist acquires the rights to a song they are free to change it in any way they wish, but they still credit the original artist who wrote the song. The more probable reason is that Angelina was working on her own original song, “Shield”, at the same time when she did this demo with some of the same people that were working with Baby Fuzz, and I’m sure that at the time it didn’t even hit her radar, it wasn’t until it was leaked that is became what it is today, and who knows, Angelina and Republic Records could still acquire the rights to the song and produce a cover version, which given the overwhelming interest the song would chart, especially with Rob Christie as the producer!
Angelina was 10 in this recording. She turned 17 in January and her new album is being released in April I believe. Her role models are too numerous to name, basically, all the greatest singers we have ever known. She pays homage to them all but at the same time makes each cover her own. With at least four original songs under her belt already, I am so excited to see how this still very young person will evolve in the years to come.

@@douglasdennett4583 thank for your kind words. She put a spell on me and after visiting her final concert last summer my strong wish is to see her again at the premiere of her new Album 🙏💖to feel again the Love and happiness 💓
She is a prodigy, one of the best Jazz singers out there able to sing in pretty much any genre. She won Norway's got talent age 7 and has a huge body of work from the age of six. With great support she is very well grounded and completely true to herself, currently aged 17.
@@dojoswitzer Although Angelina herself says during her introduction to America's got talent champions edition that she was 7 when she won Norway's got talent.
Angelina is only 10 in this video! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer. Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals. Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram. Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Had this demo been released when she was 10, I'm sure it would have zoomed to the top of the charts. All the elements needed for a hit song are checked off by her as she blends in a style that is reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Her mom stopped its release and many believe it was due to a section that remarks about a drowning- like suicide that her mom didn't think was appropriate. The writer (Baby Fuzz) then decided to try and emulate her version as close as he possibly could but his released 'copy' of Angelina's version went nowhere. Had this been allowed to be released, I believe it would have been, truly, an unbelievable success.
Baby Fuzz is quoted as saying he was unaware of Angelina’s recording when he recorded his version (which I think sounds nothing like this). The song was written by Baby Fuzz and the team who helped Angelina write her song ‘Shield’. Makes sense they had the backing track and asked her to record this without his knowledge.
- The Barefoot Princess - (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.) Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
Lucky you, just started on your journey with this beautiful artist. And luckily you live in the same town too, so you will probably meet her one day ..😊
You may think, naturally, that you have now heard Angelina's voice. You have heard but one of her voices, because she has such control over tone, pitch, range, breath, technique, plus her ability to arrange any piece of music for the better, that I doubt any of us will live long enough to experience her full potential.
Some refer to her as having a "thousand voices"... In reality, you'll never hear a voice like hers even if you search thousands and thousands... You're going to get alot of info... Most of it 100% accurate... She's 10 yrs old here and turned 17 in January.... Careful what you ask for... You're going to darn near drown in the deluge of information, requests and expressions of do or die loyalty to this PRODIGY... A global fan base about to become a renowned SUPERSTAR in the fall... You won't believe your ears, you'll be amazed, mesmerized, captivated, and question reality.. there's NO mistake.. you're listening to Angelina Jordan... The most beautifully unique artist of our era, a most SPECIAL GIFT, her name is: 🌟⭐🌟 Angelina Jordan 🌟⭐🌟
- Who is Angelina Jordan - Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 5 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear. At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more. Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood. That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old. Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney. At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. Angelina is now 16 and lives in LA. She turned 17 on January 10, 2023, and will graduate from high school after the spring semester. From then on, she will embark on her full-time professional career. She's been working closely with Republic on her first album under their label. It's likely that it will drop shortly after her graduation.
I'll fill in a bit more detail on this one... It was recorded 1 or 2 weeks prior to her 11th birthday... She was requested to do a Demo. For reasons Unknown, the demo didn't go anywhere and eventually someone that had access to the DEMO leaked the recording. A fan downloaded it before it was removed from the Internet, and this video was produced and put on UA-cam by a Fan. It wasn't till after this was released, that Baby fuzz himself released his own version ( which sort of pales in comparison if were being honest ). The reason why she looks older in much of the video is because 1.5 - 2 years went by, from the time it was recorded and the time the Fan Made Video was made. :) I think it has to be probably the best recording ever by a 10 year old, and I'm certain under the right circumstances it could have been a top radio hit. That all said, she has been prolific in turning out masterpieces throughout her entire career, starting at 7 years old. She's incredible.
10 in this performance. Turned 17 on 1/10/23. 180+ covers and originals. See her in BEAST mode. I Put a Spell on You, at 9 years old. Link from her channel - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
It's funny you mentioned that you like how it was a montage video and you saw her real young assuming she must be quite a bit older during this recording.... Well I think your refering to her singing "Feeling Good" which she absolutely killed at age 10, the very same age as this very recording. Hard to wrap your head around right? :)
First recorded singing at 18 months. Introduced to jazz at age 3-4. Dabbled in the recording studio at age 6-7. Won NGT at age 8. Then, started making guest appearances and singing in festivals and for charity fundraisers. Developed her professional quality voice to age 10, when this was recorded. Many YT home recordings to age 10-13. First professional album at age 11. Then started writing & recording her own music. Moved from Norway to L.A. at age 12. Signed with Republic at 14 and started making professional music videos, plus many experimental TikTok shorts. Currently preparing for her first major album release with RR at age 17.
She did one song "Faded" that was sung live at a concert she did very young about 10. Showed off her vocal power. No Jazzy tone, no raspy voice, just her singing, blew me away
Thanks for getting to know the Future Queen of Music! Nice one to start out with, many people choose, I put a spell on you as a first, also done in black and white, infact, any videos of hers done in black and white are iconical. Masterpieces in of themselves. She brings back the class and elegance of that time period. When she steps onto the stage, AJ is home and never wants to leave. Her maturity overall, plus a beautiful mind and even more her radiant heart shines through. The moment those notes leave her mouth, the audience is hypnotized. There is no shaking and dancing about she doesn't need none of it. Her alone is magical enough.
Thank you for presenting this. Thank you for the great comments written about this performance. She has modernised these classic sounds for the next generation...in fact she has managed to cut across the generations ..period. She has such a magic quality in her voice....that SOUND....one in a million....exceptional...and this at ten!!!!! Fantastic
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You're in over your head with her!! You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. You will be repeatedly amazed!
You have really gotten some great comments regarding Angelina on this video, I really hope you have the time to read some of them. They have given you the best imho.
You can also see videos of Angelina singing: "Feeling Good" "I'd Raither Go Blind" "It's a Man's World" "Suspicious Mind" "A Natural Woman" " Billie Jean " "I Will Survive" "Autumn Leaves " **** " Something's Got a Hold On Me" " Ain't No Sunshine " "What a Difference a Day Makes" "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
Hi Philip thanks for your very nice reaction to our sweetheart Angelina if you have time check out her 2022 version of "My Funny Valentine" and one more project she did called "Above the Water"
Angelina es un genio total. He escuchado a mucho reaccionar a ella diciendo cosas como que es una suerte y una emoción vivir su evolución musical ¿Exagero? Hay muchos video de ella en youtube, velos y juzga. Saludos Phillip.
They must obviously be being busy finishing up her album soon-to-be-released, but if you want to hear her from about 10 months ago or so listen to Suspicious Minds, our unique original cover of that Elvis

Angelina Jordan is 10 years old in this demo recording. She is 17 years old since January 2023. One of her heroes is Billie Holliday, old time jazz singer. Angelina used 2 of her songs as her first two audition pieces for Norway's Got Talent: "Gloomy Sunday" for the first audition and "I'm a Fool to Want You" sung a cappella for the elimination second round. She was incredible in both of those. Thank you for your verbally expressive reaction to Angelina Jordan. Catch you at a future one. Grandma Ellen, out.
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of this amazing performance by Angelina - at age10. Welcome to Angelina's world! Now 17, Angelina Jordan is from Norway, has been singing since she was very young & now has well over 180 covers & some originals readily available on UA-cam. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend going back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. And to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to watch her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
10 years old when she recorded this and then her parents were thinking the song was about suicide so they decided they didn't want a 10yr old singing this and did not to post it.... so the song writer after hearing her decided to record his own version and Baby FuzZ dropped his version and with in days of each other hers was leaked to you tube.
Welcome to the miracle of AJ. also a MUST: I put a spell on you. Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT. It's a man's world-- (outside concert in Norway). Suspicious minds (current) Seventh Heaven (current and she wrote it)
Phillip you have captured the only way that anyone will ever be able to describe this young treasure "Simply Magic" Keep listening -- Angelina is now 17 years old--!!!!!
Yo lo sé Queen Angelina Jordan fans, y seguirás agarrada fuera por mi; porque no te voy a soltar, pues hablamos de eso. Yo estaré contigo siempre: así que no tienes que temer, yo estoy contigo siempre para lo que tú necesites! XRHO.
If you want to get a feel as to why Angelina is the best vocalist on the planet, you have to look at her versatility. In her covers, she equals or surpasses the original, usually in one take and typically live. No auto tuning, and many times, not in a studio at all. When you look at an artist she covered, like Adele, you can easily find a masterful Angelina performance, the covered artist simply could not do. For instance, Adele would have a very hard time with Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." Whitney wouldn't have followed Angelina's "I'de Rather Go Blind' from Etta James. Could Etta James pull off "How Great Thou Art" in the same key as Elvis? Probably not. There are so many examples of artists she covered that couldn't follow Angelina on other performances. No artist is unlimited, but Angelina's range of genres is incredible, and her vocal techniques are masterful across them all. From soft and airy to belting, low to high, smooth and silky to rasp, and her vibrato is pristine. From Nico Cartosio to Queen, she can do it all.
Welcome to the Music World of Angelina Jordan who has over 185 songs which includes to me 9 Originals! 5 Composed by her with help and 2 written for her voice at 13, "Above The Water" and "A Song For A". 1 was a Demo she recorded at age 10 and was leaked at age 12 before Baby Fuzz released his version using her arrangement. The final was a Duet with Red One from a song he wrote they sang at the FIFA 2022 Awards Ceremony on 23 February 2023, "We Are The Best". Enjoy the ride, God Bless!
Listening to the ‘We’re The Best’ lyrics, I find a different message given between the lines RedOne sings and those Angelina sings. I am suspect that she wrote/rewrote the lines that she sang solo.
Hi Phillip, nice that you took a little peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 17 years old
Hi Philip, even if you already got some comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - maybe you can find some for you new information in it ;-) So, here is my SFC: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! Maybe you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) So a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her last changes for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ua-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/v-deo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a virtuoso tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :))) The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;) At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-) Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;) ...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :)) Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo! She is born January 10th 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ). Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… ;-) First of all, here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ua-cam.com/channels/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA.html Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg.html Angelina Jordan VEVO Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/D9xBPlntT45VN6dY1LNhng.html Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ (on this web site you can find also her accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) her TikTok-channel: www.tiktok.com/@angelinajordana and the site of Republic Records with her introduction: www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html (One of?)

So, she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ... Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas 😎
Another great reaction Philip let me tell you some about her, Angelina Jordan Astar was born 1/10/2006 in Oslo, Norway Angelina is a music prodigy who started singing at the age of 18 months and won Norway got talent at the age of 8 (started competition at age 7 and won at age 8) Angelina is blessed to have a very special family that has watched over her while allowing her the freedom of being herself. One big thing that Mother, Sara Astair, insisted was that Angelina has as much of a normal life growing up as possible Sara and Angelina's uncle and manager, Michael Astar limited what performances Angelina would do sometimes saying no to over 90% of the requests even so Angelina has performed all over the world from age 8 to now age 17. Angelina plays the piano, guitar, violin, and flute and has sung in 5 languages, and has over 180 covers of all genres all of which will amaze you, Angelina has worked hard for children and humanitarian relief and was the youngest author in Norway with a book (Between two Hearts) a story of why she wears no shoes during a performance.
A nice first reaction! She is 10 years old in this video. Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!

Angelina 10 years old when she recorded this
The video is in black and white but her voice is in Technicolor 🌈🌈🌈🧏🏻♀️🌈🌈🌈
10 years old. 17 today, signed with Republic Records 3 years ago. Her first original with Republic Records was Million Miles, a song about her grandpa passing away and dedicated to all that have lost a loved one ❤️ I love that song. It has helped me heal the loss of my dad ❤️ Angelina is an old soul bringing back all the classics from the past and that soulful, rich voice make it sound amazing ❤️
Kent Ove, my condolences. It is hard to loose a parent, I should know, I lost both of them.
You my friend and co-angel, be safe and sound.
A Greeting, Elmar from Germany.
@@elmarwinkler6335 Thank you so much for heartfelt words ❤️ Losing him at the age of 13 was insane.... and he was only 37... He did not get to live a life, just only for a short time ❤️
@@kentovewagenes1141 Again my friend, my heartfelt sympathy for you. At that young age, to loose one´s parent IS hard. You question the ONE. I am 64 almost and lost my parents (not so long ago) to cancer, as did AJ. Imagine your mother is telling you, Dear the doctors tell me, that I will die in 8 weeks. I realy hope this is not something you had to go through. Be safe, blessed and have a nice weekend.
@@elmarwinkler6335 Thank you ❤️ Cancer aswell for my dad... one of the nasty ones... he had no chance... Wishing you a great weekend ❤️👍

Angelina is 10 years old here. You should listen to her sing Mt. Everest.
17 years old now real time
The best child singer ever
Welcome to th AJ rabbit hole, you will have long way to fall. She is known to be the girl with a 1 000 voices.
Great reaction
AJ is from Norway, but now resides in LA and signed with Republic Records
Her 1st time in the studio was at 6 years o!d.
She's something special, recorded at age 10.
Angelina was 10 years old in this video. She turned seventeen on January 10th of this year.
She turned 18 on Jan 10, 2004
there are many rumours. It's actually her song because she sang it first, but only as a demo. I think it's quite simple, the song would have gone through the roof and for her 10 years on this song and the way she is protected by her family it would have been too soon with the hype that followed and as mentioned would have been without a record deal it would have been difficult to release this song and only others would have benefited from it. but that's just a guess on my part
Oh my. Caution, Angelina will run away with your soul. Her talent is such that you have to eat the whole bag of chips…. you can’t eat just one!
The best #1 song never to be.
"Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go." - Hermann [ Ms. Angelina Jordan ] Hesse
Shamans
Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.
Thanks man !!
Welcome to Angelinas world. There are good singers, star singers but there is only one Angelina. Acording to Stargate producers Angelina is "Freaking, insanely, scary talented". Angelina is now 17 yo and we think that her parents has alowed that she can be promotet this year. If you react to her songs you may find bad recordings and songs you dont like but you never will find a bad performence by Angelina at any age.
I'd say you're in the right business. You have picked up on the essentials of Angelina Jordan right out of the gate. I wish you well and will follow your journey with Angelina. Jordan
There is lots more to discover about this remarkable young artist. You'll have fun discovering her. 😎
Substantiated rumours are stating an album release in the coming months. She is finishing high school in the coming month. I believe that her entourage wanted her to finish school before launching in a full time artistic career.
Angelina was 10 years old in this recording. She turns 17 on January 10, 2023.

Welcome to the best singer I’ve ever heard. That voice you like is infinitely flexible, and her vocal textures will leave you shaking your head. You see what she can do at 10 years old. Try her own incredible arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, live, at 13, on America’s Got Talent to understand that Angelina is truly once in a lifetime. This song today is just one iteration of her voice-she is just as amazing across many genres.
Here are two links to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (Queen)…

Angelina's voice is magic, it's a trip!!!😍😍🤩
Her voice touches !!!
Ever since I first heard this I thought that if it had been released at the time it would have charted....considering she was 10 and her parents were trying to keep her having as normal a childhood as possible and had already seen what winning Norways Got Talent had resulted in.....I think that not releasing this was a conscious decision. The video was fan made quite sometime after she cut this demo for Baby Fuzz.
Great reaction. I like how you have a lot to say and it is all insightful.
This reaction felt a bit rushed, hopefully you'll come back to her again and continue to explore the 180+ videos she has!
This was a demo that Angelina was asked to record by Brandon Lowry (BabyFuZz) before he released his song. His friends had suggested that Angelina should be asked to sing it. Because of the subject of suicide, as featured in it, he parents didn't want the demo to go any further. While the demo was recorded when she was 10 years old, someone with access to it leaked it 2 years later. Had the unnamed "leaker" not shared her demo, the world would have missed out on this work of art. The fan video itself was also masterfully done, so hats off to him/her as well.
Baby Fuzz is quoted as saying he was unaware of Angelina’s recording. The song was written by Baby Fuzz and the team who helped Angelina write her song ‘Shield’. Makes sense the other writers had the backing track and asked her to record this without his knowledge.
There’s no real evidence out in the public domain that explains for sure why it was never released. It may just as easily have been her mother and uncle realized this would launch her before she was old enough. And it could just have likely been that they didn’t own the rights to the song and couldn’t have released it if they wanted too.
Any of the explanations out there are pure speculation.
You got all that from searching UA-cam and the internet? Sorry, but I’ve been following Angelina for a long time, and there is nothing to support your version. The reality is that Baby Fuzz also made a demo for this song, but it did not get any interest, so he used his demo and released it as the official version, so you would not have any idea when he made his demo in relation to when Angelina made this demo! And the subject of suicide couldn’t even possibly been the reason that Angelina didn’t acquire the rights to the song herself, she has sung several songs which referred to suicide, and if the lyrics of a song crossed the line, then her mother made her rewrite the lyrics, see “Back to Black” and other Amy Winehouse songs that Angelina has sung, even “I’m a Fool to Want You” is about drug use, the way Billie Holiday sang it, and there was no stopping her from singing that song, and get real, once an artist acquires the rights to a song they are free to change it in any way they wish, but they still credit the original artist who wrote the song.
The more probable reason is that Angelina was working on her own original song, “Shield”, at the same time when she did this demo with some of the same people that were working with Baby Fuzz, and I’m sure that at the time it didn’t even hit her radar, it wasn’t until it was leaked that is became what it is today, and who knows, Angelina and Republic Records could still acquire the rights to the song and produce a cover version, which given the overwhelming interest the song would chart, especially with Rob Christie as the producer!
Great comments. She is amazing
She was 10 years old.
Really enjoyed your reaction Philip looking forward to many more
Angelina was 10 in this recording. She turned 17 in January and her new album is being released in April I believe. Her role models are too numerous to name, basically, all the greatest singers we have ever known. She pays homage to them all but at the same time makes each cover her own. With at least four original songs under her belt already, I am so excited to see how this still very young person will evolve in the years to come.
A swedish newspaper interview claimed fall '23 for the album release and April for the first single from the album.

There was talk of a tour but not necessarily before the album release. I’m assuming a tour would follow the release to promote the album.
She's a dream for all producers. It's confirmed she can sing a new Song in the Studio from the bottom to the top in one take. Therefore she's amazing Life. She owns the biggest Stages allone with her Charisma, fearless, powerful and fascinating.

She is a prodigy, one of the best Jazz singers out there able to sing in pretty much any genre. She won Norway's got talent age 7 and has a huge body of work from the age of six. With great support she is very well grounded and completely true to herself, currently aged 17.
Won NGT at age 8.
Angelina defined for me the words Prodigy and Unicorn.
@@dojoswitzer Although Angelina herself says during her introduction to America's got talent champions edition that she was 7 when she won Norway's got talent.
Oh goody!!! Another falling under her magical talent! Please please do more although this performance is one of my favorites!
Angelina is only 10 in this video! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer.
Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals.
Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram.
Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Had this demo been released when she was 10, I'm sure it would have zoomed
to the top of the charts. All the elements needed for a hit song are checked off by
her as she blends in a style that is reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Her mom stopped
its release and many believe it was due to a section that remarks about a drowning-
like suicide that her mom didn't think was appropriate. The writer (Baby Fuzz) then
decided to try and emulate her version as close as he possibly could but his released
'copy' of Angelina's version went nowhere. Had this been allowed to be released, I
believe it would have been, truly, an unbelievable success.
Baby Fuzz is quoted as saying he was unaware of Angelina’s recording when he recorded his version (which I think sounds nothing like this). The song was written by Baby Fuzz and the team who helped Angelina write her song ‘Shield’. Makes sense they had the backing track and asked her to record this without his knowledge.
- The Barefoot Princess -
(From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.)
Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them.
Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.”
From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
Lucky you, just started on your journey with this beautiful artist. And luckily you live in the same town too, so you will probably meet her one day ..😊
You picked a winner Philip, this talented young girl is a comet blazing through the atmosphere.
For a taste of Angelina's diverse repertoire you might try 'I'm a Fool to Want You', 'Stay', 'It's a Man's World', 'Billie Jean'. She is a marvel!
You may think, naturally, that you have now heard Angelina's voice. You have heard but one of her voices, because she has such control over tone, pitch, range, breath, technique, plus her ability to arrange any piece of music for the better, that I doubt any of us will live long enough to experience her full potential.
Amen brother!
This song sung by Angelina could have been a hit. Also my compliments to whoever did the video montage. Absolutely beautifully done.
Her AGT performance was astounding! Watch it please ..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Some refer to her as having a "thousand voices"... In reality, you'll never hear a voice like hers even if you search thousands and thousands... You're going to get alot of info... Most of it 100% accurate... She's 10 yrs old here and turned 17 in January.... Careful what you ask for... You're going to darn near drown in the deluge of information, requests and expressions of do or die loyalty to this PRODIGY... A global fan base about to become a renowned SUPERSTAR in the fall... You won't believe your ears, you'll be amazed, mesmerized, captivated, and question reality.. there's NO mistake.. you're listening to Angelina Jordan... The most beautifully unique artist of our era, a most SPECIAL GIFT, her name is:
🌟⭐🌟 Angelina Jordan 🌟⭐🌟
Great reaction and welcome Garcia.
Angelina is a bona fide musical genius.
- Who is Angelina Jordan -
Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 5 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear.
At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more.
Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood.
That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old.
Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney.
At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. Angelina is now 16 and lives in LA. She turned 17 on January 10, 2023, and will graduate from high school after the spring semester. From then on, she will embark on her full-time professional career. She's been working closely with Republic on her first album under their label. It's likely that it will drop shortly after her graduation.
I'll fill in a bit more detail on this one... It was recorded 1 or 2 weeks prior to her 11th birthday... She was requested to do a Demo. For reasons Unknown, the demo didn't go anywhere and eventually someone that had access to the DEMO leaked the recording. A fan downloaded it before it was removed from the Internet, and this video was produced and put on UA-cam by a Fan. It wasn't till after this was released, that Baby fuzz himself released his own version ( which sort of pales in comparison if were being honest ).
The reason why she looks older in much of the video is because 1.5 - 2 years went by, from the time it was recorded and the time the Fan Made Video was made. :)
I think it has to be probably the best recording ever by a 10 year old, and I'm certain under the right circumstances it could have been a top radio hit. That all said, she has been prolific in turning out masterpieces throughout her entire career, starting at 7 years old. She's incredible.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She is a rare young artist and she has millions who are dedicated fans .Again, enjoyed your reaction ,thanks
10 in this performance. Turned 17 on 1/10/23. 180+ covers and originals.
See her in BEAST mode. I Put a Spell on You, at 9 years old.
Link from her channel - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
At ten years old, she killed it!
It's funny you mentioned that you like how it was a montage video and you saw her real young assuming she must be quite a bit older during this recording.... Well I think your refering to her singing "Feeling Good" which she absolutely killed at age 10, the very same age as this very recording. Hard to wrap your head around right? :)
First recorded singing at 18 months. Introduced to jazz at age 3-4. Dabbled in the recording studio at age 6-7. Won NGT at age 8. Then, started making guest appearances and singing in festivals and for charity fundraisers. Developed her professional quality voice to age 10, when this was recorded. Many YT home recordings to age 10-13. First professional album at age 11. Then started writing & recording her own music. Moved from Norway to L.A. at age 12. Signed with Republic at 14 and started making professional music videos, plus many experimental TikTok shorts. Currently preparing for her first major album release with RR at age 17.
7/8
Philip she's 10y0 great reaction thanks
She's very talented with a beautiful voice. 😊
Amazing voice
She did one song "Faded" that was sung live at a concert she did very young about 10. Showed off her vocal power. No Jazzy tone, no raspy voice, just her singing, blew me away
Thanks for getting to know the Future Queen of Music! Nice one to start out with, many people choose, I put a spell on you as a first, also done in black and white, infact, any videos of hers done in black and white are iconical. Masterpieces in of themselves.
She brings back the class and elegance of that time period. When she steps onto the stage, AJ is home and never wants to leave. Her maturity overall, plus a beautiful mind and even more her radiant heart shines through. The moment those notes leave her mouth, the audience is hypnotized. There is no shaking and dancing about she doesn't need none of it. Her alone is magical enough.
To say Angelina's Hero's are all the Greats from the past, would be an understatement, facts
Thank you for presenting this. Thank you for the great comments written about this performance. She has modernised these classic sounds for the next generation...in fact she has managed to cut across the generations ..period. She has such a magic quality in her voice....that SOUND....one in a million....exceptional...and this at ten!!!!! Fantastic
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You're in over your head with her!! You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. You will be repeatedly amazed!
✒️...Angelina's voice is over the TOP...nice to see Experts happy 😉

Hi Philip thanks for your very nice reaction to our sweetheart Angelina if you have time check out her 2022 version of "My Funny Valentine" and one more project she did called "Above the Water"
Angelina es un genio total. He escuchado a mucho reaccionar a ella diciendo cosas como que es una suerte y una emoción vivir su evolución musical ¿Exagero? Hay muchos video de ella en youtube, velos y juzga. Saludos Phillip.
They must obviously be being busy finishing up her album soon-to-be-released, but if you want to hear her from about 10 months ago or so listen to Suspicious Minds, our unique original cover of that Elvis

Angelina Jordan is 10 years old in this demo recording. She is 17 years old since January 2023. One of her heroes is Billie Holliday, old time jazz singer. Angelina used 2 of her songs as her first two audition pieces for Norway's Got Talent: "Gloomy Sunday" for the first audition and "I'm a Fool to Want You" sung a cappella for the elimination second round. She was incredible in both of those. Thank you for your verbally expressive reaction to Angelina Jordan. Catch you at a future one. Grandma Ellen, out.
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of this amazing performance by Angelina - at age10. Welcome to Angelina's world! Now 17, Angelina Jordan is from Norway, has been singing since she was very young & now has well over 180 covers & some originals readily available on UA-cam. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend going back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. And to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to watch her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
10 years old when she recorded this and then her parents were thinking the song was about suicide so they decided they didn't want a 10yr old singing this and did not to post it.... so the song writer after hearing her decided to record his own version and Baby FuzZ dropped his version and with in days of each other hers was leaked to you tube.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Welcome to the miracle of AJ. also a MUST: I put a spell on you. Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT. It's a man's world-- (outside concert in Norway). Suspicious minds (current) Seventh Heaven (current and she wrote it)
Phillip you have captured the only way that anyone will ever be able to describe this young treasure "Simply Magic" Keep listening -- Angelina is now 17 years old--!!!!!
Angelina Jordan is 10 years over here when she sang this song
Yo lo sé Queen Angelina Jordan fans, y seguirás agarrada fuera por mi; porque no te voy a soltar, pues hablamos de eso. Yo estaré contigo siempre: así que no tienes que temer, yo estoy contigo siempre para lo que tú necesites! XRHO.
If you want to get a feel as to why Angelina is the best vocalist on the planet, you have to look at her versatility. In her covers, she equals or surpasses the original, usually in one take and typically live. No auto tuning, and many times, not in a studio at all. When you look at an artist she covered, like Adele, you can easily find a masterful Angelina performance, the covered artist simply could not do. For instance, Adele would have a very hard time with Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." Whitney wouldn't have followed Angelina's "I'de Rather Go Blind' from Etta James. Could Etta James pull off "How Great Thou Art" in the same key as Elvis? Probably not. There are so many examples of artists she covered that couldn't follow Angelina on other performances. No artist is unlimited, but Angelina's range of genres is incredible, and her vocal techniques are masterful across them all. From soft and airy to belting, low to high, smooth and silky to rasp, and her vibrato is pristine. From Nico Cartosio to Queen, she can do it all.
Welcome to the Music World of Angelina Jordan who has over 185 songs which includes to me 9 Originals! 5 Composed by her with help and 2 written for her voice at 13, "Above The Water" and "A Song For A". 1 was a Demo she recorded at age 10 and was leaked at age 12 before Baby Fuzz released his version using her arrangement. The final was a Duet with Red One from a song he wrote they sang at the FIFA 2022 Awards Ceremony on 23 February 2023, "We Are The Best". Enjoy the ride, God Bless!
Listening to the ‘We’re The Best’ lyrics, I find a different message given between the lines RedOne sings and those Angelina sings. I am suspect that she wrote/rewrote the lines that she sang solo.
@@dojoswitzer I believe that, she is like a computer who knows music in a split second what to do to fix it, God Bless!
Hi Phillip, nice that you took a little peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 17 years old
Hi Philip,
even if you already got some comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - maybe you can find some for you new information in it ;-)
So, here is my SFC:
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! Maybe you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
So a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her last changes for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ua-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/v-deo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a virtuoso tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :)))
The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;)
At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-)
Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;)
...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :))
Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo!
She is born January 10th 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).
Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… ;-)
First of all, here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club:

In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So, she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ...
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas

Another great reaction Philip let me tell you some about her, Angelina Jordan Astar was born 1/10/2006 in Oslo, Norway Angelina is a music prodigy who started singing at the age of 18 months and won Norway got talent at the age of 8 (started competition at age 7 and won at age 8) Angelina is blessed to have a very special family that has watched over her while allowing her the freedom of being herself. One big thing that Mother, Sara Astair, insisted was that Angelina has as much of a normal life growing up as possible Sara and Angelina's uncle and manager, Michael Astar limited what performances Angelina would do sometimes saying no to over 90% of the requests even so Angelina has performed all over the world from age 8 to now age 17. Angelina plays the piano, guitar, violin, and flute and has sung in 5 languages, and has over 180 covers of all genres all of which will amaze you, Angelina has worked hard for children and humanitarian relief and was the youngest author in Norway with a book (Between two Hearts) a story of why she wears no shoes during a performance.
👍👍
There are alot she admires but as Angelina said, "If it wasn't for her introduction to Billie Holiday their would be NO Angelina Jordan"
👣🌬🌎
Born 1/10/2006
Beautiful ❤❤
A nice first reaction! She is 10 years old in this video. Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
