This is a great pair of videos to some sense of how deep the talent runs with Angelina. As you noticed, she adds lots of little ornaments into her vocals. These little decorations are sometimes so subtle, and done so naturally that you don't even notice them with your ears... but you just feel them with your heart. Angelina is a true artist, and the more you hear from her the more obvious it becomes that we are witnessing the rise of a legend. And as always for anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 16 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 160 songs and over 70 artists. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Rusty your a very dedicated fan. Thank you for all you do to help spread to word. I’m sure Dr Marisan will soon be lost it the AJ rabbit hole with the rest of us. 😂
@@tomcollins9805 I hope so; I think she has the right blend of knowledge and ability to explain combined with obvious enjoyment and appreciation of AJ's talents.
I am very, very touched by the mini bio you shared regarding Angelina Jordan. I was unaware of all she gives and does, she is certainly not your average 13 year old, her maturity is well above her age I came upon the video of her singing NGT by accident one day while surfing you tube and as I never heard of her before, began to listen to this 13 year old girl, I was stunned. Her voice had such depth and was filled with such emotion of almost despair as I could literally feel, visualize the words she sang. This is a song of sadness as the young person realizes that the action they took will now cost them their own life.... Angelina expresses that sadness, awareness marvelously, bringing the listener into the story within the song. She is a great joy and her voice a huge gift to us all. Thank you, Angelina for sharing your gift and showing us all to be a part of the talent Good had surely blessed you with!!!
Dr. Your comment about Billie Holiday was very astute. This is what Angelina had to say about Billie: "“I have to say if it wasn’t for the unconditional love that came from Billie Holiday’s legendary music, there would not be Angelina Jordan today. I am very blessed today that her music found me very early."
Thank you, good Dr., for your analysis and detailed examination of Angelina's technique as an Artist and that she had this unique ability at a very young age. You sound like you are now becoming an Angelina Angel welcome aboard her musical journey.
Angelina was actually 8 years old when she won the final tally on Norway's Got Talent, but one could make the argument that she's not lying, because she really won it upon her audition, with Gloomy Sunday, and with her acapella version of I'm a Fool to Want You, backstage in an elimination round, without audience.
This beautiful young lady brings tears to my eyes every time i hear her. I am 70 years old and i thank god every day for allowing me to witness this onderful human being.
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed with Angelina's version of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13 that they allowed her to copyright her version - as a result - it is on several streaming music services and she gets the royalties.
Angelina is a standout talent amongst so many other talented singers. For me personally she is someone I could listen to for long periods at a time. Far and away my 2nd most favourite young female singer of our times ( which is a very personal feeling ). Beautiful control and great feeling for her song. World class. Another Superstar already.
Angelina has been quoted that "there would be no Angelina if there was no Billie Holiday." What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sony & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded my her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rs language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. .♥👣👸🏻🎷 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. Since winning NGT she has sung for celebrities and heads of state and some of the biggest venues all over the world. The industry is well aware of Angelina's immense talent and her family were inundated by offers from the biggest promoters in the world. All turned down by Angelina and her family. They have protected her while she finishes school. She has sung mostly for charities raising millions for children and climate change as well as a few festivals and occasionally some huge venues like opening for Norah Jones in Korea in front of about 40 thousand. .♥👣👸🏻🎷 Angelina finally signed with Republic Records a couple of years ago and has since released her 1st two original performances with 'Million Miles' and '7th Heaven' released at 14 & 15 respectively. The family waited till she had contractual control of her Artistic Vision. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. I don't know if you will dive deep into this girl or not but you will be missing out on one of the most Iconic rises to stardom since Elvis or Michael Jackson both of whom she has covered many times. If you do I will follow to experience it with you. Again, Welcome from The Land of Vikings, home of The Kensington Runestone, and the largest population of Norwegian Heritage in America, Mid-Minnesota. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known world wide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. She is due to release her 1st album I heard as early as June or July, fingers crossed but promised by Angelin to be soon. She has diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent sing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as the view, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version on ITunes and Spotify along with an Album 'Magic' she released on her own and a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea I believe. Also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won AGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota wherein lies a huge Norwegian population. .♥👣👸🏻🎷
This girl can and does do ANYTHING vocally. Just to get a feel of her range of capabilities Listen to "I put a Spell On You," (9 years old) "I keep Holding Out for you" (10) and "Stay" (12) BTW Once her "Angels" discover you've fallen into her rabbit hole, they will come flocking to your channel. ( I should know I'm one of them, and here I am)
What a beautiful reaction, just see your expressions to understand, enjoy your understanding of the emotional argument. Outstanding musical sensitivity. The technical part is brilliant, succinct, accurate description of the use of the vocal instrument Que hermosa reacción, solo basta ver tus expresiones para entender, disfrutar de tu entendimiento del argumento emotivo. Sobresaliente sensibilidad musical. Brillante la parte técnica, sucinta, atinada descripción del el uso del instrumento vocal
New subscriber, for Angalina. I think 🤔 she is one of the best singers on the planet today! Queen liked the performance so much they posted WOW on their website. They also gave her the copyright for that version. 😳
It took Angelina the better part of 5 years to master her voice to make the sounds she wanted. It wasn’t so much imitation when she was younger, and when you see her progression on Norway’s Got Talent, and her performance of “What a Difference a Day Makes” and “I Put a Spell on You”, you will see she had to do certain things to make the sounds when she was younger that she doesn’t have to do anymore, this is very apparent when you listen to the 8 year old version of “Fly Me to the Moon” versus her 13 year old version she made for Quincy Jones at his 85th birthday celebration at O2 arena in London, and her two versions of “My Funny Valentine”, the first when she was 10 the other this year at 16. As you rightfully noted, she had mastery over artistic technique from a very young age, but now she is in total command, and it doesn’t hurt to have a Grammy winning producer guiding her at Republic Records who she is now signed with. Buckle up you are on a wild ride!
She entered the limelight at 7 competing in Norway got Talent which she won. She sang there two songs of Billie Holiday :-D She had indeed string roots in Jazz and also Blues. She has done many amazing performances since and is still getting better all the time. Quincy Jones asked her to sing in his 85th birthday party in the O2 arena and compared her to Michael Jackson. At AGT you see her wearing the suit she made herself using a print with her grandmother's art, performing barefoot singing her own arrangement. She is a storyteller at heart and captivates her audience. As soon as she starts singing everybody goes dead silent. She recently met Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffet, MJ's drummer, and sang a jazzy version of Billie Jean and I Have Nothing for him and he loved it. She has a very versatile voice, a very rich vocal toolbox and a wonderful lower register. She goes as low as C3 and D3. You can only expect to be surprised each time :-) The reason she sings barefoot is wonderful. At age 6 she met a poor street girl with scars on her feet. She gave her her shoes and since she haa always performed barefoot in remembrance of the girl and to raise awareness for poor kids. An amazing person as well :-)
Welcome to Angelina’s world. She has over 170 covers, and her originals are amazing. Never heard a better talent in my 65 years. She is the total package, and she sings with emotion, and she is also humble, and charitable. Enjoy the ride.
I just subscribed for Angelina Jordan. I love to see vocal coaches reacting to Angelina and explaining her magic. She is not only a very special singer, but a very special human being in general. I hope there is more to come from you about Angelina Jordan.
Thank you for your reaction to Angelina. Her fans love her for who she is as a person, just as much as for her artistry. A beautiful soul that she shares with the world through her music. We are blessed to be witnessing the ascension of this amazing human being. I’m looking forward to more of your reactions as you continue on your Angelina journey.❤️😄
When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz!
So glad you have a good eye and ear for her expression and not only for her technique (like some voice teachers). We all know that she has a beautiful voice and wonderful musical and vocal skills, but her connection with the words is that from a big actress saying a monologue! And on top of all of this she has such beautiful taste in her pronunciation and runs. For many people she is a comfort and mysteriously addictive! (Like me!)
I can honestly say it is somewhat less than a daily experience to witness a Marie Osmond doll that could win Grammys. Her talent and potential defy judgement . Superb review, btw 💐
Amongst all of Angelina Jordan performances, her black & white studio cover of Screamin Jay Hawkins' 1956 hit, "I Put a Spell on You", will absolutely knock you out cold. At 9 years of age, the cover she arranged (Angelina has arranged her own music/lyrics from the age of 7) pays homage to Jay, creating what many consider to be a masterpiece cover. Angelina never repeated this performance, owing to it's elements, so be sure to watch the b&w video from her official channel or her official cover channel. If you're looking for another 2 for 1, I would follow this up with her live performance of "Feeling Good", a 1964 classic that Michael Buble has made one of his cornerstones. I suggest watching the performance in front of a live televised audience. She has repeated this cover, but I really like this one. At 10 years old, Angelina knocks it out of the park. I look forward to listening to your reactions and analysis in the future.
Bohemian Rhapsody by AJ has over 100 million views, this is a classic that will stand the annals of time. If you follow this genius, she will amaze you with every performance. She now has over 3 billion views on Facebook, and over 1.5 billion views on UA-cam. There is no one else like her in the universe.
Please react to what a difference a day makes when she was 8 (outdoor concert). My Funny Valentine ( 10 and 16 year old versions), Stay (brilliant Rihanna cover when she was 12, I’m Still Holding Out For You when she was 10, of course I Put a Spell on You when she was 9, and then just get started on her TikToks and the rest of the almost 200 other songs she has either covered or written or somehow been a part of. She will NEVER disappoint you!
Enjoyed your reaction and analysis. Subscribing for more Angelina. You will soon have many more comments here asking for more Angelina with many recommendations, as well. Angelina's fan base is a very large group of the world's peoples who have been asked by her to spread love and kindness. I have no doubt that you will soon be one of them.
She was amazing at 13, but you should hear her today at almost 17 (Jan 10th). She has increased her range, power & control, especially in the last 2 years since she signed with Republic Records. Her 2 latest original songs, Million Miles & 7th Heaven were performed in her summer concerts last July in Norway. A TV show recorded both as well as a little behind the scenes footage with Angelina. It's only 9:38 sec, so easy to do in a single reaction & don't forget to us cc for English translation. ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html Million Miles was written when she was 14, after the death of her maternal grandpa. It's EXTREMELY emotional about the loss of a loved one. Seventh Heaven is an inspirational jazz song about never giving up on your dreams & living life with hope. She wrote it at 15 & said it's also suppose to make you want to dance. It does!!! Liked & subed for more Angelina.
You notice her storytelling Skills very well and her love of jazz singing 💘 She rearranged another famous Song.. Billie Jean from MJ. Please react to her own Jazz creation. Available on her YT Cover channel 🙏
Amazing isn’t it? Angelina has been listing to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats since she was 2-1/2 years old! As a matter of fact, Billie was one of Angelina’s first idols and she has done many covers of Billie Holiday’s songs including an a capella version of “I’m a Fool to Want You” (performed six months EARLIER than this cover you just reacted to)! Enjoy your journey discovering the most beautiful female voice of the twenty first century. 🖤👣
Actually, I think she did surprisingly few Billie Holiday covers: 1. Gloomy Sunday, 2. I'm a Fool to Want You' 3. 'All of Me', and latest 4. 'Blue Moon', but that one only as a short 40 second snippet on TikTok. Compare that to e.g. 11 different Adele songs, or 7 by both Elvis and Sam Smith each.
@@most2dot0 Hi! This comment has nothing to do with your reply to @Peter Hormell but just to say that this is the first time I have heard of you - must have been living in an alternative world 🙂 - so went to your UA-cam channel and immediately subscribed and pressed the Notification button. Just don't want to miss any future playlists.
@@alberttenfoot I'm happy that you like my channel. I actually reactivated and dedicated it to 'AJ Playlists' only about 2 or 3 month ago, so you did not miss out for long. But I don't think that UA-cam does sent notifications for new playlists, so you will have to check manually from time to time! But the structure is quite complete now, so I will now be more curating the existing lists rather than to create new ones anyhow.
The Norwegian Jazz-saxophonist Bodil Niska, had a wondereful recordshop and jazz café in Oslo. It was called "bare jazz". The first time I saw Angelina and her mother at Bodils place, she was probably a 3 year old child with enormous headphones listening to the old masters of jazz. It looked like the world outside music did not matter.
Absolutely delightful first 60 seconds, Dr. Marisan - your facial expressions say it all! And then of course, "She has jazz in her veins!" You said a mouthful there, Doc! She sure does. I particularly love seeing a pro like you who can both explain/critique a performance but also thoroughly enjoy it, too. It's such a pleasure to listen to all of "those little nuances," as you described them. It's extraordinary how many subtle touches she can pack into a song and yet keep it sounding as natural as can be. Terrific reactions! Thanks. I'll join the refrain here: "Please react to more Angelina!" 😇
Thanks for a wonderful double Angelina reaction. I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th, 2020. It was this performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, and I was so moved by it that I immediately looked for every performance by her that I could find. She is the most captivating singer I have ever heard, and I have now listened to her every day for over two and a half years. There are literally dozens of stellar performances by her that I would recommend, but here are just two recent ones--a studio version of Suspicious Minds and a live concert performance of Mount Everest: Suspicious Minds: ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html Mount Everest: ua-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/v-deo.html
Haha! I know I never have to leave a comment since you always leave MY comment under your name. Not sure how you do that, but thanks! I'm sure we'll get more reactions from this knowledgeable reactor.
Thank you Dr. M for the wonderful reaction and comments on your first venture into the generational talent and prodigy/music genius of Angelina Jordan. Shall keep it short here since you will get a ton of information in the comments below on this young lady...just know I appreciate you very sincere and knowledgeable reaction with Angelina. We fans, already know who this young lady is and enjoy watching coaches and music teachers give us their spin on her. Cheers, stay well.
Queen liked her performance so much they waived copyright so she could make it her own. I hope you listen to her performances in July in Norway. She is now almost 6ft.tall and beautiful! Thanks for the reactions.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Angelina Jordan you’ve got a long journey ahead of you she is a Prodigy we call her the girl with 1000 voices she started singing at the age of 14 months and never stop and 16 1/2 now so enjoy your ride it’s a wonderful trip after Jesse fast and Safetybelts
AJ is simply 'astounding'' and 'mesmerizing' . Truly a voice of her generation, and of ALL generation when it's all said and done. Great reaction my friend. Cheers..
Absolutely amazing performance from Angelina her beautiful soulful pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul, After this amazing performance Brian May and Roger Taylor sent Angelina a special tribute congratulating her on a amazing performance, and the boys from Queen gave Angelina the rites to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, Angelina received the golden buzzer and straight to the final with her performance, this has been viewed around 110 million times , welcome to this amazing talented young artist, Angelina is so special, she signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old, Angelina’s has written a few originals around 12 years old, but her first original when Angelina signed with Republic Records age 14 is an amazing heart felt tribute to her Grandfather who passed away and to anyone who has lost someone, Angelina has proven she is not only an amazing vocalist but a intelligent talented songwriter, great reaction thanks 🙏
I was pretty certain you'd like Angelina. If you're interested in what she sounds like now, there's no better representation than her cover of Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds. If you'd like to hear Angelina unleashed, however, you should definitely check out her own arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' classic, I Put A Spell On You, recorded when she was nine years old. The black & white video performance is still my favorite of any of her work so far. Caution: listening to her cover of I Put A Spell On You has been known to cause random gravitational anomalies. Links to both below: Suspicious Minds - perf by Angelina Jordan: ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html I Put A Spell On You - writ by Screamin' Jay Hawkins; perf by Angelina Jordan: ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
Dr. Marisan, may I cordially "Welcome you to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Your reaction to her was so beautiful and genuine I was actually tearing up because I knew she was touching your heart and that's what she does. You spoke so nicely and your editing was very well done (with all your explanations) and I appreciated your efforts. Many of us who listen to her voice and her artistic genius can sum it up in one word: Soulfulness. Doctor, you seemed to actually explain to us how she creates the sound we hear but, do you agree there is something else going on here? To me, I have never heard anyone like her, past or present. The emotional connection she makes with her audience is authentic and I believe it is something which cannot be manufactured or taught. We can listen to the same song hundreds and hundreds of times and feel her presence in our hearts every single time. I am so happy you will join us on her journey. What always brings a smile to my face is when someone as knowledgeable as you critiques her performance at 8 years old as if she is a seasonal professional about 40 or 59 years old! There is so much for you to learn about her, musically and personally. Perhaps you streamline your video's to concentrate on the vocal aspects of the performer but I hope with Angelina you will personally get to know who she is. As you were able to ascertain already she is a very humble and respectful young person with an aura of love which surrounds her. Thank you again and I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to many more reactions to Angelina from you. BTW, you will be inundated with so much data about her (playlists and personal info) from her fan base (her 'angels'). I think it's fair to say her fan base is extraordinary in it's devotion to her.
Love your reaction and analogy between the two songs. Angelina gets better with age and experience. You will be floored as you progress with her if you continue this rabbit hole. She did My Funny Valentine at age 10 and another at age 16 if it interest you to do the same. Thank you Dr.
Signature Voice, never voice lessons: Angelina Jordan has never had a voice lesson in her life, according to her family, and she never will because you don't mess with perfection. Angelina has what is known in the industry as a SIGNATURE VOICE, it is a unique and hypnotic sound that draws one in like no other can.
Yes, she was in a music school in Norway around this time and they decided to keep their paws off her voice and just focus on things like theory and instruments.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction, & would highly recommend her 2 recent covers, one is Suspicious Minds, and the other is the Whitney Houston classic, I have nothing, her 2022 version, you won't be disappointed 😊
Wlc to Angelina's World, rest off us is just living in it 😊 Great reaction , u have discoverd the best female vocalist i ever heard i my 58 years 🥰 You will soon discover AJ has some amazing loyal fans ( called Angels ), that will give u any info u ever gonna need about Angelina 👍The Girl with the 1000 voices , , if u continue down The rabbit Hole, u soon gonna understand why hehe 😉 Me to just subscribed just because off ur reaction's to Angelina 😊 Looking forward to the next one, have a good one take care an stay safe 😊
Two suggestions for you if you'd like to contrast at different ages. 1. I Put A Spell On You, black and white version, when she was 9, versus Suspicious Minds studio version at 16 2. My funny Valentine in her living room at 10, versus My funny Valentine at 16. Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising! Norwegian born Angelina 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! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, 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 over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 165 chronological performances, including five originals. m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? When she was 6 years old, she was 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 shoes and 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 is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina penetrates 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. ua-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanOfficial Please remember to include in your description the Original Video link as well as the artist Official Channel, if you have not already done so.

Well done. She is now 16 years old. For more recent performances, I'd recommend her own originals Million Milles and 7th Heaven, which she released about a year after the AGT performance. Both are also available as a "Live in Studio" version. She also performed both live several times this summer in concerts, I'd recomment the ones avaible as TV recording, which you can find quite at the end in this playlist of her recent releases/performances: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
Welcome to Angelina’s world! At 16 years old today, her voice and song interpretation skills have improved even more. Too many great songs for just a few suggestions. But compare her versions of Bang Bang at 8 vs. 16 and I have Nothing at 11 vs. 16. And if you want to see how she channels Billie Holiday listen to her sing Gloomy Sunday on Norways Got Talent at 8 years old!
Excellent reaction and Welcome to The Music World of Angelina Jordan! One of the Greatest Singers of all time, as you will see, or I should say hear and feel, God Bless!
I love seeing vocal coaches amazement of Angelina. Skill like this can't be learned at such a young age it has to be a gift. Lady, you haven't seen anything yet. I'll be watching your adventure that is Angelina Jordan.
Hello, Dr. Marisan. This has become my favorite rendition of the song, "Fly Me to The Moon." And then age 13, Angelina blows us away with her own rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. She has grown so much as an artist--vocalist and composer. She got Heidi Klum's golden buzzer, sending her straight to the finals. So this year 2022, Angelina Jordan is 16 yo, and there is a dramatic difference in her voice, as you might expect. She dropped formal music videos this year AND was able to return to Norway for concerts this summer for the first time since Covid shut everything down. The music videos since she signed with Republic Records at age 14, after this AGT Champions show, have been gorgeous at every level imaginable. Before going to age 16, you might want to hear her black and white music video of her original song, "Million Miles," written after the passing of her maternal grandfather. Then maybe pick from this year 2022. I'd go with her Elivis cover, "Suspicious Minds," or her Whitney Houston cover, " In those you see her singing. THEN do at least one live from this summer. Do pay attention to fan recommendation of which videos to use, because some are better sound than others and you'll truly want one with better sound. So nice to meet you this Sunday that begins the week holding my birthday (on Wed.). Grandma Ellen 💜
A wonderful reaction and you have a beautiful energy that enhanced it.Obviously Angelina is very gifted but she also works relentlessly hard,her passion for her art always shines brightly.She did a series of concerts in Norway this summer and the videos are incredible.Just be aware that the quality varies but bottom line the performances are breathtaking.
Thank you for your sincere reaction. I will suggest to you to go back in time and listen to her singing in a studio at 6 " I who have nothing", then her 4 performances at NGT when she was 7 and won when she was 8 : 1st one " A Gloomy Sunday", 2nd " I'm a fool to want you" acapella, 3rd " Bang Bang " and last one " Summertime". Then there is a live performance at 8 " What a difference a day makes " at 9 " I put a spell on you". Then you can pick and choose between about 200 more covers and own songs. If you listen to her cover of " Million years ago" after listen first to Adele singing it, you will realize she did it at 12 with more feeling/ soul and richer tone than Adele.
Angelina's suspicious minds is right up to date ,I think this is very good as well as Billie Jean .heal the world and how Great thou art .your mind wil be boggled.
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in my 75 years of being a great music lover.
Yes, please! There is so much to choose from! No one else I've seen does the young to older side by side comparison. That was great. How about Yellow Brick Road? Easy on Me? And her own song, Million Miles- Studio Version?
Thanks for such a wonderful review of a wonderful person. No need for me to suggest more videos of her, as others have done so. I have listened to nearly every youtube video this superb artist and her family have made. Early on I added a live concert to my bucket list and flew from the USA to Norway to witness her July 10, 2022 concert. I have never witnessed a more inspiring story-teller, and I am fast approaching my eighth decade on the planet. AJ has a bright future and my only regret is I will only witness a fraction of her career.
Often forgotten is that English is not her first language, that is Norwegian. So the ear she have for tone and timber also work for her in learning to sing the English words in the first song. At age 13 she have mastered both speaking and writing English. Her original song "A Million Miles" is a good example.
Your preliminary comments made me think you already knew about Angelina but when she started your eyes repeatedly revealed that she was surprising you at every turn! Congrats! 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 (150+ 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! She is 16yo presently and continues to show us new things! 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. Pick anything and you'll be impressed. She is that consistent and that good!
Dr previously created a short on Angelina. (She does many shorts and very few long videos.) Apparently those of us who saw it and encouraged a full reaction were luckily successful.
"So talented, So gorgeous, So beautiful....her voice is one of a kind. Only Angelina Jordan can give us such a marvelous rendition.There is no one better than her. Thanks, your comments were very accurate"
At the age of six, she made her first studio recording, “I, who have nothing” while reading the lyrics in English. IMO she is the best vocalist in the world.
you discerned her roots exactly--steeped in great jazz since infancy, with a special love of Billy. And her deep voice has just gotten richer now that she's 16
I would love to see you react to Casey Bishop in her first audition for AGT. I think you will not stop there this girl is amazing too although in a different way.
She is a very special artist her latest cover of Elvis Presley Suspicious Mind it's unbeliefably Good she's 16 when she did that thank you for your reaction I really enjoyed it and subscribed look forward to hearing your next reaction to Angelina
Please, please, PLEASE, do a reaction to Angelina Jordan's "What A Difference A day Makes". (And tell me how I can support you financially.) You are an amazing "reactor".
Thank you so much @DavidPaley! For sure I will add "What A Difference A Day Makes" to my list❤.

Fantastic she's even better today I will continue to get better she's just an angel
Dr. Marisan I love your reactions to my favorite Angelina...
This is a great pair of videos to some sense of how deep the talent runs with Angelina. As you noticed, she adds lots of little ornaments into her vocals. These little decorations are sometimes so subtle, and done so naturally that you don't even notice them with your ears... but you just feel them with your heart. Angelina is a true artist, and the more you hear from her the more obvious it becomes that we are witnessing the rise of a legend.
And as always for anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 16
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 160 songs and over 70 artists. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Rusty your a very dedicated fan. Thank you for all you do to help spread to word. I’m sure Dr Marisan will soon be lost it the AJ rabbit hole with the rest of us. 😂
@@tomcollins9805 I hope so; I think she has the right blend of knowledge and ability to explain combined with obvious enjoyment and appreciation of AJ's talents.
Thank you for the wonderful and detailed information about Angelina Jordan!
I am very, very touched by the mini bio you shared regarding Angelina Jordan. I was unaware of all she gives and does, she is certainly not your average 13 year old, her maturity is well above her age
I came upon the video of her singing NGT by accident one day while surfing you tube and as I never heard of her before, began to listen to this 13 year old girl, I was stunned. Her voice had such depth and was filled with such emotion of almost despair as I could literally feel, visualize the words she sang. This is a song of sadness as the young person realizes that the action they took will now cost them their own life.... Angelina expresses that sadness, awareness marvelously, bringing the listener into the story within the song.
She is a great joy and her voice a huge gift to us all.
Thank you, Angelina for sharing your gift and showing us all to be a part of the talent Good had surely blessed you with!!!
😊
She makes her own costumes and does her own arrangements.
Dr. Your comment about Billie Holiday was very astute. This is what Angelina had to say about Billie: "“I have to say if it wasn’t for the unconditional love that came from Billie Holiday’s legendary music, there would not be Angelina Jordan today. I am very blessed today that her music found me very early."
Thank you, good Dr., for your analysis and detailed examination of Angelina's technique as an Artist and that she had this unique ability at a very young age. You sound like you are now becoming an Angelina Angel welcome aboard her musical journey.
Angelina was actually 8 years old when she won the final tally on Norway's Got Talent, but one could make the argument that she's not lying, because she really won it upon her audition, with Gloomy Sunday, and with her acapella version of I'm a Fool to Want You, backstage in an elimination round, without audience.
This beautiful young lady brings tears to my eyes every time i hear her. I am 70 years old and i thank god every day for allowing me to witness this onderful human being.
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed with Angelina's version of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13 that they allowed her to copyright her version - as a result - it is on several streaming music services and she gets the royalties.
Angelina is a standout talent amongst so many other talented singers. For me personally she is someone I could listen to for long periods at a time. Far and away my 2nd most favourite young female singer of our times ( which is a very personal feeling ). Beautiful control and great feeling for her song. World class. Another Superstar already.
Angelina has been quoted that "there would be no Angelina if there was no Billie Holiday."
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time.
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sony & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded my her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rs language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. .♥👣👸🏻🎷
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London.
Since winning NGT she has sung for celebrities and heads of state and some of the biggest venues all over the world. The industry is well aware of Angelina's immense talent and her family were inundated by offers from the biggest promoters in the world. All turned down by Angelina and her family. They have protected her while she finishes school. She has sung mostly for charities raising millions for children and climate change as well as a few festivals and occasionally some huge venues like opening for Norah Jones in Korea in front of about 40 thousand. .♥👣👸🏻🎷
Angelina finally signed with Republic Records a couple of years ago and has since released her 1st two original performances with 'Million Miles' and '7th Heaven' released at 14 & 15 respectively. The family waited till she had contractual control of her Artistic Vision. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her.
I don't know if you will dive deep into this girl or not but you will be missing out on one of the most Iconic rises to stardom since Elvis or Michael Jackson both of whom she has covered many times. If you do I will follow to experience it with you.
Again, Welcome from The Land of Vikings, home of The Kensington Runestone, and the largest population of Norwegian Heritage in America, Mid-Minnesota. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known world wide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. She is due to release her 1st album I heard as early as June or July, fingers crossed but promised by Angelin to be soon. She has diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent sing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as the view, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version on ITunes and Spotify along with an Album 'Magic' she released on her own and a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea I believe. Also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won AGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota wherein lies a huge Norwegian population. .♥👣👸🏻🎷
This girl can and does do ANYTHING vocally. Just to get a feel of her range of capabilities Listen to "I put a Spell On You," (9 years old) "I keep Holding Out for you" (10) and "Stay" (12)
BTW Once her "Angels" discover you've fallen into her rabbit hole, they will come flocking to your channel. ( I should know I'm one of them, and here I am)
Angelina is the queen of the POWER WHISPER!
What a beautiful reaction, just see your expressions to understand, enjoy your understanding of the emotional argument. Outstanding musical sensitivity. The technical part is brilliant, succinct, accurate description of the use of the vocal instrument
Que hermosa reacción, solo basta ver tus expresiones para entender, disfrutar de tu entendimiento del argumento emotivo. Sobresaliente sensibilidad musical. Brillante la parte técnica, sucinta, atinada descripción del el uso del instrumento vocal
New subscriber, for Angalina. I think 🤔 she is one of the best singers on the planet today! Queen liked the performance so much they posted WOW on their website. They also gave her the copyright for that version. 😳
It took Angelina the better part of 5 years to master her voice to make the sounds she wanted. It wasn’t so much imitation when she was younger, and when you see her progression on Norway’s Got Talent, and her performance of “What a Difference a Day Makes” and “I Put a Spell on You”, you will see she had to do certain things to make the sounds when she was younger that she doesn’t have to do anymore, this is very apparent when you listen to the 8 year old version of “Fly Me to the Moon” versus her 13 year old version she made for Quincy Jones at his 85th birthday celebration at O2 arena in London, and her two versions of “My Funny Valentine”, the first when she was 10 the other this year at 16. As you rightfully noted, she had mastery over artistic technique from a very young age, but now she is in total command, and it doesn’t hurt to have a Grammy winning producer guiding her at Republic Records who she is now signed with.
Buckle up you are on a wild ride!
She entered the limelight at 7 competing in Norway got Talent which she won. She sang there two songs of Billie Holiday :-D She had indeed string roots in Jazz and also Blues. She has done many amazing performances since and is still getting better all the time. Quincy Jones asked her to sing in his 85th birthday party in the O2 arena and compared her to Michael Jackson.
At AGT you see her wearing the suit she made herself using a print with her grandmother's art, performing barefoot singing her own arrangement. She is a storyteller at heart and captivates her audience. As soon as she starts singing everybody goes dead silent.
She recently met Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffet, MJ's drummer, and sang a jazzy version of Billie Jean and I Have Nothing for him and he loved it.
She has a very versatile voice, a very rich vocal toolbox and a wonderful lower register. She goes as low as C3 and D3. You can only expect to be surprised each time :-)
The reason she sings barefoot is wonderful. At age 6 she met a poor street girl with scars on her feet. She gave her her shoes and since she haa always performed barefoot in remembrance of the girl and to raise awareness for poor kids. An amazing person as well :-)
Welcome to Angelina’s world. She has over 170 covers, and her originals are amazing. Never heard a better talent in my 65 years. She is the total package, and she sings with emotion, and she is also humble, and charitable.
Enjoy the ride.
I just subscribed for Angelina Jordan. I love to see vocal coaches reacting to Angelina and explaining her magic. She is not only a very special singer, but a very special human being in general. I hope there is more to come from you about Angelina Jordan.
Great comment Rusty. It wonderfully describes what a beautiful human being Angelina is, inside and out.
If you haven’t seen her sing “I put a spell on you” at 8 years old, DO IT NOW!! It’s cRaZy!

Same here, subscribed to see more reactions to Angelina
That vibrato is unbelievable. The jazz technique is undeniable and breathtaking for an 8-year-old as well as someone 20 years older. Phenomenal!
Thank you for your reaction to Angelina. Her fans love her for who she is as a person, just as much as for her artistry. A beautiful soul that she shares with the world through her music. We are blessed to be witnessing the ascension of this amazing human being. I’m looking forward to more of your reactions as you continue on your Angelina journey.❤️😄
Simply amazing!
When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin!
She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it!
She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz!
This was nothing less than a high quality reaction to the most beautiful voice nowadays...!
So glad you have a good eye and ear for her expression and not only for her technique (like some voice teachers). We all know that she has a beautiful voice and wonderful musical and vocal skills, but her connection with the words is that from a big actress saying a monologue! And on top of all of this she has such beautiful taste in her pronunciation and runs. For many people she is a comfort and mysteriously addictive! (Like me!)
You should add another three years to her development as both a vocalist and an artist by listening to her version of Suspicious Minds
I can honestly say it is somewhat less than a daily experience to witness a Marie Osmond doll that could win Grammys. Her talent and potential defy judgement . Superb review, btw 💐
Great reaction! I'll sub for Angilina. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
Amongst all of Angelina Jordan performances, her black & white studio cover of Screamin Jay Hawkins' 1956 hit, "I Put a Spell on You", will absolutely knock you out cold. At 9 years of age, the cover she arranged (Angelina has arranged her own music/lyrics from the age of 7) pays homage to Jay, creating what many consider to be a masterpiece cover. Angelina never repeated this performance, owing to it's elements, so be sure to watch the b&w video from her official channel or her official cover channel.
If you're looking for another 2 for 1, I would follow this up with her live performance of "Feeling Good", a 1964 classic that Michael Buble has made one of his cornerstones. I suggest watching the performance in front of a live televised audience. She has repeated this cover, but I really like this one. At 10 years old, Angelina knocks it out of the park.
I look forward to listening to your reactions and analysis in the future.
Bohemian Rhapsody by AJ has over 100 million views, this is a classic that will stand the annals of time. If you follow this genius, she will amaze you with every performance. She now has over 3 billion views on Facebook, and over 1.5 billion views on UA-cam. There is no one else like her in the universe.
Please react to what a difference a day makes when she was 8 (outdoor concert). My Funny Valentine ( 10 and 16 year old versions), Stay (brilliant Rihanna cover when she was 12, I’m Still Holding Out For You when she was 10, of course I Put a Spell on You when she was 9, and then just get started on her TikToks and the rest of the almost 200 other songs she has either covered or written or somehow been a part of. She will NEVER disappoint you!
Enjoyed your reaction and analysis. Subscribing for more Angelina. You will soon have many more comments here asking for more Angelina with many recommendations, as well. Angelina's fan base is a very large group of the world's peoples who have been asked by her to spread love and kindness. I have no doubt that you will soon be one of them.
I have heard many reactions to both of these performances. I have to say, I enjoyed watching these with you the most. Thank-you.
She was amazing at 13, but you should hear her today at almost 17 (Jan 10th). She has increased her range, power & control, especially in the last 2 years since she signed with Republic Records. Her 2 latest original songs, Million Miles & 7th Heaven were performed in her summer concerts last July in Norway. A TV show recorded both as well as a little behind the scenes footage with Angelina. It's only 9:38 sec, so easy to do in a single reaction & don't forget to us cc for English translation. ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html Million Miles was written when she was 14, after the death of her maternal grandpa. It's EXTREMELY emotional about the loss of a loved one. Seventh Heaven is an inspirational jazz song about never giving up on your dreams & living life with hope. She wrote it at 15 & said it's also suppose to make you want to dance. It does!!! Liked & subed for more Angelina.
Thank you 🙏
This performance is the first time I saw this girl and I have been in love with her every since.
WOWZA
You notice her storytelling Skills very well and her love of jazz singing 💘
She rearranged another famous Song.. Billie Jean from MJ. Please react to her own Jazz creation. Available on her YT Cover channel 🙏
Amazing isn’t it? Angelina has been listing to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats since she was 2-1/2 years old! As a matter of fact, Billie was one of Angelina’s first idols and she has done many covers of Billie Holiday’s songs including an a capella version of “I’m a Fool to Want You” (performed six months EARLIER than this cover you just reacted to)!
Enjoy your journey discovering the most beautiful female voice of the twenty first century. 🖤👣
Actually, I think she did surprisingly few Billie Holiday covers:
1. Gloomy Sunday,
2. I'm a Fool to Want You'
3. 'All of Me', and latest
4. 'Blue Moon', but that one only as a short 40 second snippet on TikTok.
Compare that to e.g. 11 different Adele songs, or 7 by both Elvis and Sam Smith each.
@@most2dot0 Hi! This comment has nothing to do with your reply to @Peter Hormell but just to say that this is the first time I have heard of you - must have been living in an alternative world 🙂 - so went to your UA-cam channel and immediately subscribed and pressed the Notification button. Just don't want to miss any future playlists.
@@alberttenfoot I'm happy that you like my channel. I actually reactivated and dedicated it to 'AJ Playlists' only about 2 or 3 month ago, so you did not miss out for long.
But I don't think that UA-cam does sent notifications for new playlists, so you will have to check manually from time to time! But the structure is quite complete now, so I will now be more curating the existing lists rather than to create new ones anyhow.
@@most2dot0 Thanks for your prompt reply. I will be keeping an eagle eye on your channel. 🙂
@@most2dot0 Thank you for correcting me. 😳
😬😉👍
The Norwegian Jazz-saxophonist Bodil Niska, had a wondereful recordshop and jazz café in Oslo. It was called "bare jazz". The first time I saw Angelina and her mother at Bodils place, she was probably a 3 year old child with enormous headphones listening to the old masters of jazz. It looked like the world outside music did not matter.
Absolutely delightful first 60 seconds, Dr. Marisan - your facial expressions say it all! And then of course, "She has jazz in her veins!" You said a mouthful there, Doc! She sure does. I particularly love seeing a pro like you who can both explain/critique a performance but also thoroughly enjoy it, too. It's such a pleasure to listen to all of "those little nuances," as you described them. It's extraordinary how many subtle touches she can pack into a song and yet keep it sounding as natural as can be. Terrific reactions! Thanks. I'll join the refrain here: "Please react to more Angelina!" 😇
Thanks for a wonderful double Angelina reaction. I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th, 2020. It was this performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, and I was so moved by it that I immediately looked for every performance by her that I could find. She is the most captivating singer I have ever heard, and I have now listened to her every day for over two and a half years. There are literally dozens of stellar performances by her that I would recommend, but here are just two recent ones--a studio version of Suspicious Minds and a live concert performance of Mount Everest:
Suspicious Minds: ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html
Mount Everest: ua-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/v-deo.html
Haha! I know I never have to leave a comment since you always leave MY comment under your name. Not sure how you do that, but thanks!
I'm sure we'll get more reactions from this knowledgeable reactor.
....& please, please react to more Angelina for the almost automatic JOY you'll receive from doing so. Thanks.
Fantastic she just seen better today
Now you have to check her out at 16. She's only gotten better!
Thank you Dr. M for the wonderful reaction and comments on your first venture into the generational talent and prodigy/music genius of Angelina Jordan. Shall keep it short here since you will get a ton of information in the comments below on this young lady...just know I appreciate you very sincere and knowledgeable reaction with Angelina. We fans, already know who this young lady is and enjoy watching coaches and music teachers give us their spin on her. Cheers, stay well.
Queen liked her performance so much they waived copyright so she could make it her own. I hope you listen to her performances in July in Norway. She is now almost 6ft.tall and beautiful! Thanks for the reactions.
Her voice really is something else !!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Angelina Jordan you’ve got a long journey ahead of you she is a Prodigy we call her the girl with 1000 voices she started singing at the age of 14 months and never stop and 16 1/2 now so enjoy your ride it’s a wonderful trip after Jesse fast and Safetybelts
AJ is simply 'astounding'' and 'mesmerizing' . Truly a voice of her generation, and of ALL generation when it's all said and done. Great reaction my friend. Cheers..
VERY BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful reaction to my absolute FAVORITE singer!!!!
This is my favorite reaction video. Thank you. You do Angelina justice.
You can't really go wrong with AJ. I particularly love her Adele covers and her originals Million Miles and Seventh Heaven.
Absolutely amazing performance from Angelina her beautiful soulful pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul, After this amazing performance Brian May and Roger Taylor sent Angelina a special tribute congratulating her on a amazing performance, and the boys from Queen gave Angelina the rites to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, Angelina received the golden buzzer and straight to the final with her performance, this has been viewed around 110 million times , welcome to this amazing talented young artist, Angelina is so special, she signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old, Angelina’s has written a few originals around 12 years old, but her first original when Angelina signed with Republic Records age 14 is an amazing heart felt tribute to her Grandfather who passed away and to anyone who has lost someone, Angelina has proven she is not only an amazing vocalist but a intelligent talented songwriter, great reaction thanks 🙏
i remember Nora Jones!!! just the way she articulates every verse!!! NORA JONES!!!!!!!
AJ is the MASTERSTORY teller with a SIGNATURE VOICE that can only belong to her, and her alone.
I was pretty certain you'd like Angelina. If you're interested in what she sounds like now, there's no better representation than her cover of Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds. If you'd like to hear Angelina unleashed, however, you should definitely check out her own arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' classic, I Put A Spell On You, recorded when she was nine years old. The black & white video performance is still my favorite of any of her work so far. Caution: listening to her cover of I Put A Spell On You has been known to cause random gravitational anomalies. Links to both below:

Dr. Marisan, may I cordially "Welcome you to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!"
Your reaction to her was so beautiful and genuine I was actually tearing up because I knew she was touching your heart and that's what she does. You spoke so nicely and your editing was very well done (with all your explanations) and I appreciated your efforts. Many of us who listen to her voice and her artistic genius can sum it up in one word: Soulfulness. Doctor, you seemed to actually explain to us how she creates the sound we hear but, do you agree there is something else going on here? To me, I have never heard anyone like her, past or present. The emotional connection she makes with her audience is authentic and I believe it is something which cannot be manufactured or taught. We can listen to the same song hundreds and hundreds of times and feel her presence in our hearts every single time.
I am so happy you will join us on her journey. What always brings a smile to my face is when someone as knowledgeable as you critiques her performance at 8 years old as if she is a seasonal professional about 40 or 59 years old! There is so much for you to learn about her, musically and personally. Perhaps you streamline your video's to concentrate on the vocal aspects of the performer but I hope with Angelina you will personally get to know who she is. As you were able to ascertain already she is a very humble and respectful young person with an aura of love which surrounds her.
Thank you again and I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to many more reactions to Angelina from you. BTW, you will be inundated with so much data about her (playlists and personal info) from her fan base (her 'angels'). I think it's fair to say her fan base is extraordinary in it's devotion to her.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Love your reaction and analogy between the two songs. Angelina gets better with age and experience. You will be floored as you progress with her if you continue this rabbit hole. She did My Funny Valentine at age 10 and another at age 16 if it interest you to do the same. Thank you Dr.
Signature Voice, never voice lessons:
Angelina Jordan has never had a voice lesson in her life, according to her family, and she never will because you don't mess with perfection. Angelina has what is known in the industry as a SIGNATURE VOICE, it is a unique and hypnotic sound that draws one in like no other can.
Yes, she was in a music school in Norway around this time and they decided to keep their paws off her voice and just focus on things like theory and instruments.
You will Love " I put a spell on you "
Prodigy at the least, Devine, almost. : )
Timing every bit as special as Frank's at eight years old. Texture of a seasoned veteran, yeah. She's a wonder.
You get it.
✌️❤️🎼
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction, & would highly recommend her 2 recent covers, one is Suspicious Minds, and the other is the Whitney Houston classic, I have nothing, her 2022 version, you won't be disappointed 😊
Wlc to Angelina's World, rest off us is just living in it 😊 Great reaction , u have discoverd the best female vocalist i ever heard i my 58 years 🥰 You will soon discover AJ has some amazing loyal fans ( called Angels ), that will give u any info u ever gonna need about Angelina 👍The Girl with the 1000 voices , , if u continue down The rabbit Hole, u soon gonna understand why hehe 😉 Me to just subscribed just because off ur reaction's to Angelina 😊 Looking forward to the next one, have a good one take care an stay safe 😊
On Bohemian Rhapsody, that E flat 5 Wildcat call-belt that she did, was a grand substitute for all of the Rock portion of that song, All in 2 seconds
Two suggestions for you if you'd like to contrast at different ages.
1. I Put A Spell On You, black and white version, when she was 9, versus Suspicious Minds studio version at 16
2. My funny Valentine in her living room at 10, versus My funny Valentine at 16.
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising!
Norwegian born Angelina 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! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, 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 over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 165 chronological performances, including five originals.
m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was 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 shoes and 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 is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates 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.

gracias por reaccionar a la princesa descalza, ella es simplemente increíble y no va a dejar de sorprenderte 🤗
One of my favorites is All I Ask Adele cover. It is absolutely beautiful
She winn the Norway got talent at seven 💕🙏🤗 listen at her first perfomens, she is a natural singer.
stella Was 8 when she won.
Gosh I hope you react to a lot more Angelina music. I would love to hear your take on it all!
Great reaction and analysis Dr.!!!! ❤❤❤
Well done. She is now 16 years old. For more recent performances, I'd recommend her own originals Million Milles and 7th Heaven, which she released about a year after the AGT performance. Both are also available as a "Live in Studio" version. She also performed both live several times this summer in concerts, I'd recomment the ones avaible as TV recording, which you can find quite at the end in this playlist of her recent releases/performances: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
I love her Adele covers too. She takes Adele’s beautiful pop songs and gives them a soul. Stunning.
Welcome to Angelina’s world! At 16 years old today, her voice and song interpretation skills have improved even more. Too many great songs for just a few suggestions. But compare her versions of Bang Bang at 8 vs. 16 and I have Nothing at 11 vs. 16. And if you want to see how she channels Billie Holiday listen to her sing Gloomy Sunday on Norways Got Talent at 8 years old!
ted She sang Gloomy Sunday when she was 7.
Welcome to the AJ rabbithole, she is known to be the girl with a 1 000 voices. She does not do covers, she uncover the songs and tell you a story.
Excellent reaction and Welcome to The Music World of Angelina Jordan! One of the Greatest Singers of all time, as you will see, or I should say hear and feel, God Bless!
I love seeing vocal coaches amazement of Angelina. Skill like this can't be learned at such a young age it has to be a gift. Lady, you haven't seen anything yet. I'll be watching your adventure that is Angelina Jordan.
Hello, Dr. Marisan. This has become my favorite rendition of the song, "Fly Me to The Moon." And then age 13, Angelina blows us away with her own rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. She has grown so much as an artist--vocalist and composer. She got Heidi Klum's golden buzzer, sending her straight to the finals. So this year 2022, Angelina Jordan is 16 yo, and there is a dramatic difference in her voice, as you might expect. She dropped formal music videos this year AND was able to return to Norway for concerts this summer for the first time since Covid shut everything down. The music videos since she signed with Republic Records at age 14, after this AGT Champions show, have been gorgeous at every level imaginable. Before going to age 16, you might want to hear her black and white music video of her original song, "Million Miles," written after the passing of her maternal grandfather. Then maybe pick from this year 2022. I'd go with her Elivis cover, "Suspicious Minds," or her Whitney Houston cover, " In those you see her singing. THEN do at least one live from this summer. Do pay attention to fan recommendation of which videos to use, because some are better sound than others and you'll truly want one with better sound. So nice to meet you this Sunday that begins the week holding my birthday (on Wed.). Grandma Ellen 💜
A wonderful reaction and you have a beautiful energy that enhanced it.Obviously Angelina is very gifted but she also works relentlessly hard,her passion for her art always shines brightly.She did a series of concerts in Norway this summer and the videos are incredible.Just be aware that the quality varies but bottom line the performances are breathtaking.
Angelina has over 140 covers & originals - SUSPICIOUS MINDS, I HAVE NOTHING, BILLIE JEAN, I PUT A SPELL ON YOU 📌
Thank you for such a wonderful reaction. You have a huge number of similar experiences with Angelina ahead of you. Welcome new Angel.
Thank you for your sincere reaction. I will suggest to you to go back in time and listen to her singing in a studio at 6 " I who have nothing", then her 4 performances at NGT when she was 7 and won when she was 8 : 1st one " A Gloomy Sunday", 2nd " I'm a fool to want you" acapella, 3rd " Bang Bang " and last one " Summertime". Then there is a live performance at 8 " What a difference a day makes " at 9 " I put a spell on you". Then you can pick and choose between about 200 more covers and own songs. If you listen to her cover of " Million years ago" after listen first to Adele singing it, you will realize she did it at 12 with more feeling/ soul and richer tone than Adele.
Angelina's suspicious minds is right up to date ,I think this is very good as well as Billie Jean .heal the world and how Great thou art .your mind wil be boggled.
Voice of the Universe. She touches my soul every time I hear a song. What a treasure.
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan 🥰
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in my 75 years of being a great music lover.
Yes, please! There is so much to choose from! No one else I've seen does the young to older side by side comparison. That was great. How about Yellow Brick Road? Easy on Me? And her own song, Million Miles- Studio Version?
I love fly me to the moon~ and it's incredible to see fly me to the moon sung by a little girl with perfection!
Thanks for such a wonderful review of a wonderful person. No need for me to suggest more videos of her, as others have done so. I have listened to nearly every youtube video this superb artist and her family have made. Early on I added a live concert to my bucket list and flew from the USA to Norway to witness her July 10, 2022 concert. I have never witnessed a more inspiring story-teller, and I am fast approaching my eighth decade on the planet. AJ has a bright future and my only regret is I will only witness a fraction of her career.
Often forgotten is that English is not her first language, that is Norwegian. So the ear she have for tone and timber also work for her in learning to sing the English words in the first song. At age 13 she have mastered both speaking and writing English. Her original song "A Million Miles" is a good example.
More Angelina Jordan please and thank you
Your preliminary comments made me think you already knew about Angelina but when she started your eyes repeatedly revealed that she was surprising you at every turn! Congrats! 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 (150+ 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! She is 16yo presently and continues to show us new things!
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. Pick anything and you'll be impressed. She is that consistent and that good!
Dr previously created a short on Angelina. (She does many shorts and very few long videos.) Apparently those of us who saw it and encouraged a full reaction were luckily successful.
Not to be indelicate, he has also made her stunningly beautiful. 😎
I'm a grown man,and she makes tears come to my eyes when I hear her sing!!
"So talented, So gorgeous, So beautiful....her voice is one of a kind. Only Angelina Jordan can give us such a marvelous rendition.There is no one better than her. Thanks, your comments were very accurate"
Angelina has a catalog of over 200 songs and the vast majority of them are of this quality. #Enjoy the ride...
At the age of six, she made her first studio recording, “I, who have nothing” while reading the lyrics in English. IMO she is the best vocalist in the world.
Wonderful reaction! She is, indeed, special.
you discerned her roots exactly--steeped in great jazz since infancy, with a special love of Billy. And her deep voice has just gotten richer now that she's 16
I would love to see you react to Casey Bishop in her first audition for AGT. I think you will not stop there this girl is amazing too although in a different way.
She can sing good real good
She is a very special artist her latest cover of Elvis Presley Suspicious Mind it's unbeliefably Good she's 16 when she did that thank you for your reaction I really enjoyed it and subscribed look forward to hearing your next reaction to Angelina
