.......the picture on the candle is "Screamin' Jay Hawkins", who recorded his version of this song in 1956....she is making notes to the band's arrangement at age 9!
I think she was alive in the 1940's and never aged!! So beautiful and talented! God given talent. Probably the greatest singer alive today!! You go babygirl!!
She is a real talent and i think being from Norway gives her confidence because of her simple uncommercial back ground that she lives in and nothing seems to phase her. Like all child stars i hope she is not rushed into stardom and gets to enjoy her young life before those opportunist agents bombard her with offers.
So Angelina was 7 years old when she won Norway’s got talent in 2014. She was nine years old when she recorded I PUT A SPELL ON YOU. In 2019 she competed in America’s Got Talent The Champions.She was 13 years old she sang a soulful version of Bohemian Rhapsody which won her the golden buzzer. She is primarily a jazz singer. Dive into her younger work like Billy Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday or Sinatra’s Fly me to the Moon. Or listen to her jazz version of Jackson’s Billie Jean which she recorded recently at 15.
This is the "Screamin'" Joe Hawken's arrangement he recorded while drunk. (No, not kidding.) He didn't even remember recording it. To get to Angelina, we are talking some deep jazz roots; torch songs if you will. Back to Julie London and alike. She is not competing with anyone alive; she is channeling their sound. As a young performer, it's easier to mimic a proven sound than come up with your own, especially in such a monotone age as we live in. She is amazing because she has figured out the secret sauce and has the innate talent to pull it off.
Angelina Jordan on Dec 23rd she will perform an online live concert. Buy tickets on her website / original channel! Top musicians and interview with Angelina as well!
Not sure if you know but she is singing more closely to the original version by screamin jay hawkins. His picture was on the candle she had at the beginning.
you just opened a musical treausure box finding Angelina,the Barefoot princess of jazz,starts singing in studio when she was 6 years old,so mutch to discover of her,welcome to the journey of Angelina.
Hello Samantha. thank you for that nice reaction to Angie. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9 (when it was film & released a year later), even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 15 on 1-10-21 & she’s around 6 ft tall. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Others will explain this or you can look it up. I'll give you a link to her 1st released single by Republic records titled “Million Miles” She wrote this shortly after her 2nd grandpa died in Nov. 2019, she was 13 & her 1st grandpa died in 2018. Angie & her grandma did the art for the (official lyric video). Angelina said, “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in you heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her Instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.” Angie has arranged over 135 covers & written 5 songs & had 2 written for her & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” (I do hope you buy & download her single & help support her art & music) Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions.

Samantha, went I first listen to Angelina's sing "Put a Spell on You" I couldn't believe the voice coming out of this little girl. She put a spell on me from that moment on over 4 years ago! I fell into the Angelina "Rabbit Hole" following her musical journey from a 7 yr old girl with Big hair and missing teeth to a beautiful teenage young Lady.
Angelina's performance on this video usually destroys brain cells :) Every reactor has the same brain freeze. Angelina has tons of "attitude" on this video. She is fearless.
She was 9 at the time of this recording. This was her arrangement. She auditioned in Norway's Got Talent when she was seven. She won that competition. She may have turned eight during that time. She sang Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent the Champions when she was 13. Quite a talent!
Боже, как мне вас жаль! Вы настолько ограничены, что выше Анжелины для вас никого нет? Это для вас крутое исполнение? Вы ещё не слушали других талантливых исполнителей, лучшие голоса России!
@@ruhjiiidnoo8319 nothing funny in his/her comment. AJ is definitely the best singer alive today, i'm from India and Jazz is not even my kind of music, i prefer something else entirely different than any western music, i stumbled upon one of her songs by chance and was completely blown away by her.
here she is 9yo old, she has rearranged the whole song, the original is from Screamin 'Jay Hawkins 1956 all the bands she plays with call her "The Boss" because she sets the tone but in a very respectful way she is 15yo today There are over 130 covers by all the popular stars as well as classic and 5 originals that she wrote herself (google translater)
You'd prolly really enjoy her performance of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent, when she was 13. According to her, she began singing at the ripe age of 1 and a half years old. At about 4 or 5 years old, she began begging her parents, to let her try out for "Simon's show", as she put. They finally relented, and allowed her to try out for Norway's Got Talent. As she has stated many times; She won Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old, with songs like "Summertime" and "Gloomy Sunday". At the end of the final, it was announced that she had garnered 46% of the vote total, with the other nine finalists combining for the remaining 54%. It wasn't even close. Angelina always performs barefoot, as a reminder of the millions of impoverished children in the world, This began one day, on the way to a performance. She found herself talking to a similarly aged little girl on the street, weighing people for bits of change, and noticed she was barefoot. She asked, and her mom explained the less fortunate. Moments later, Angelina gave her new little friend, the shoes she had been wearing, and they embraced. It's my understanding, that they still stay in touch. Angelina has already raised millions for various children's charities. Angelina does all of her own arrangements, writes, composes, sews and designs most of the frocks she performs in. 😉😊✌
She entered Norways got talent at age 7 and won. This was done 2 months after her 9th birthday. She has 144 songs on utube 7 are original's 5 she wrote. She sang for the Nobel peace prize concert at age 8. She has incredible range and absolute control. Does her own arrangements. She arranged this.shes the girl with a thousand voices, the barefoot angel, the jukebox and the BOSS. Best singer I've ever seen . This is just the tip.of the iceberg. There's a huge collection of her stuff to go through covering Adele, Elvis, Whitney, Freddie Mercury Dolly Parton and many more. She's often better than the original's .
That's what I thought too ! It doesn't seem possible but, I'm 63 and have never heard anything like this young lady...... just amazing really ! Go Angelina
I fell hopelessly and completely in love with this angel, the very first time I heard her, which was on AGT at 13. Doing Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. Truly amazing. She reminds me of the late Eva Cassidy, in the way she covers the well known songs. You would know the title, and think I know how this will sound, and then your jaw hits the ground when she does the song. She does it her way, and makes it like a brand new song, heard for the first time. This girl will go places, if producers don't try to tell her what they want, but let her do her thing. As far as I am concerned, she is number one over ANY singer known today.
She was 7 when she won Norways Got Talent.......she is 9 in this clip. Brilliant isn't she. I have followed her from the beginning and she is a talented singer, a brilliant music arranger, a compassionate human being and a true wonder of the world.
Yes, she has confidence. And she has been singing since she was 4 y. o. She has had the best support she ever could have. Her grandmother is a famous jazz singer and her parents are musicians and are involved in the music industry. Her grandmother has been her voice coach since she showed interest in singing when she was 4. And with that background no wonder she has such confidence in music. And perhaps very stubborn too.
leif I don't know where you get your information, but you need to find a reliable source....She's been singing (she called it "mumbling") since she was 1 1/2. She began searching UA-cam for her favorite artists when she was 3. Her grandmother does not sing (she's an artist who was a child prodigy). Neither parent is a musician. Her father is in the oil and gas industry and her mother's involvement in the music industry is only as it relates to Angelina's career. Her grandma is not her vocal coach....If you're going to post a comment, get your facts straight.
Confidence is Angelina's middle name! You have just seen the tip of the iceberg, I'm in for the ride with our Barefoot Princess, the Queen of jazz, great reaction, she just turned 9 when this video was made!
"I Put a Spell on You" is a 1956 song written and composed by Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins. Angelina is singing to mimic Screamin Jay. This why she is shall I say screaming. Look him up, listen to the original.
9 year 2 month old Angelina created a great arrangement (seen working on it at the beginning of the video) then took charge of the studio and the band to deliver my favorite cover of this 1956 Jay Hawkins classic. Angelina's sharp inflections are like daggers being hurled at you. Her sassy, emotional performance has left many reactors exhausted, befuddled and/or speechless. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 8, (please refer to replies by erik to a comment I made on JHTreacts video on 6/7/21 who provides proof Angelina had already turned 8) Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Angelina began singing at the age of 1 1/2. She listened to the greats of Jazz, her favorite being Billie Holiday, also Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Sinatra, and Etta James among others. She taught herself and begged her mom to let her enter competitions. Her parents never pushed her, but stressed the importance of her education first. Mom finally relented when she was 7, and entered into Norway’s Got Talent, which she won singing Jazz covers. She arranges all of her songs. Angelina says that she never gets nervous, she loves to sing.
This was her production. The paper she handed the band manager at the beginning were her 'requests' for changes she wanted the individual band members to make. The band members affectionately call her 'the Boss'. A child prodigy, she has been arranging the music she sings since she was 7. The recording contract she signed a few months ago gives the 15 year old singer complete control over all of her recordings.
Thank you for reacting to the diamond vocals - The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is a young living legend. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today, because she is so mature for her age. No need to hurry, I'm sure Angelina has good people around her. I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 600 Million Views on UA-cam and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via UA-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years I know that we will see great things from Angelina. If you need to identify who she sound like, I can tell you that she has 1000 different voices to choose from, depending on the song choice and type .. It's Angelina.
Thank you, Samantha, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof! That’s what UA-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
You will discover so much more from this girl. This is just her 'beast' mode. She is already a jazz whizz, I think jazz is her first language. She has a hundred more. She's the most interesting, skillful and beautiful singer I know of. And she just keeps delivering, time after time.
Samantha, don't worry: She causes this kind of reaction in any human being who hears her singing and interpreting any kind of music! You responded wonderfully!
Pick any song of hers, they're all amazing. Or you could start at the beginning and listen to her audition for Norway's Got Talent at age 7. She blew the judges away with Gloomy Sunday, Billie Holliday style.
There should be a warning label on this one! Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force. You've done it now. 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 (135+ 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. 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. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). She starts low, rising in intensity throughout and finishes in an unexpected and practically operatic style. You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

Hello and thank you for a wonderful reaction to our BAREFOOT ANGEL. She is 9yrs old in this video and already a genius when it comes to arranging her cover songs, and yes she does her own arrangements. She loves Jazz and she has covered some of the greatest Jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Shirley Bassey and so many more. I hope you will continue to react to more of her and all her ANGELS will be right there with you. Thank you.😇💞💞💞💞

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 ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS*** P.S. You are going to love this ride!!!
Yep she was 7 winning the first shows, she is 9 here more experienced.. ;) Recommend her The show most go on (13), AGT Bohemian Rhapsody (13) and her very own song Million Miles (black and white studio version, 15)
A first time reaction to Angelina is always priceless - she is actually even better than it seems after 1 video - simply because she can sing anything.... In my (and most of the viewers) opinion, she is a generational talent, probably the best singer born in the 2000s (And many of us are older than most reactors). This is easier to appreciate when watching some more material from her :-)
Wow. For a first hearing of Angelina, your comments were spot on. She is truly an amazing singer, called the girl with 1,000 voices. You heard an extreme one today because Angelina, even at 9, was re-creating a style authentically. Her biggest influence has been Billie Holiday, so you were right about that 40’s vibe. But Angelina, now 15, covers jazz, blues, ballads, soul, pop, r&b, and other genres like they are all in her sweet spot. She is, without question, the best singer I’ve ever heard. You’ll like that she, in fact, does makes every song her own. Do you want to be stunned? Watch her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it’s the best music video I’ve ever seen, and you’ll see right away what sets Angelina apart. Or go back to when she was 7 and see her debut to the world with her cover of Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. If you like Adele, you’ll like Angelina’s versions of Adele’s beautiful songwriting better. She is once in a lifetime good. Just start listening.
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The artist grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2021 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, Save the world shes on her way to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.
Hola Samantha, que buena reaccion, esto es impresionante, con esta cancion conoci a Angelina y no hay un dia que no escuche canciones de ella, me rompio la cabeza, si la seguis conociendo te vas a dar cuenta que Angelina es mas que musica, ahi hay algo mas, ojala sigas reaccionando a ella, me gusto mucho, saludos desde Argentina...
Now you know that she was 9yrs old here.Flash forward to a few days before her 11th birthday and check out the perhaps equally impressive I'm still holding out for You.Wonderful reaction,look forward to many,many more.
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece and amazing performance by the 9 yo Barefoot Angel. I subscribed because anyone who appreciates the talent of this music prodigy deserves a subscription. Angelina is a precious gift for everyone: a layperson that enjoys music, a connoisseur of music, and the world of music.
The Bare Foot Princess Angelina Jordan...The Prodigy. It is a place where you will be shook at the talent for every cover (140 +) with six originals and today she is only fifteen. A solid journey of nine years of watching a world class composer who does all her own arrangements. All of the major talent in the world today know who she is. She has just not fully come on the scene but the explosion is anytime soon.Very protective family. I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to watching more. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole. Hang on its a great ride with the girl with a thousand voices.
You might want to check out a recent song Angelina wrote called Million Miles. She wrote it in memory of her grandfather who died in 2019. It’s a beautiful song and you will see how the 6 foot plus Angelina has grown. I recommend the live in studio version of it.
@@shanialover If she is 5 foot 4 then I am a towering giant of 7 foot 7 whereas, in reality, I am a mere 5 foot 8. Do a search, and you will find pictures of Angelina with other people whose height is known to be near 6 ft, and she is taller than they are.
@@alberttenfoot It is much easier to simply look up her name and measurements to find out her height and weight as well as bust-waist-hips! You can even find out that she has Hazel eyes with a simple search 😊💓
@@shanialover Please point me to the authoritative source from where you get your information, as I have just ploughed through over 30 sites, and all of them contain inaccuracies. For ex sampler, her height ranges from 5.0 ft to 5ft 10 in.
@@shanialover sometimes you need to ignore google and engage with reality. If you search google for Meeting Angelina Jordan, there is a video by React to the World from 2019 when she was thirteen. Not only is she clearly much taller then the interviewers, but they she she’s 6 foot tall to her face, and when she walks away she’s wearing trainers, so no high heels.
I liked your reaction. I hope you do more with this extraordinary artist who is Angelina Jordan Me gustó tu reacción. Espero que hagas mas con esta extraordinaria artista que es Angelina Jordan
Great reaction,, you got an going to get alot of information about her through the rest of her Angles (fan's) so is just want to say thank you for your reaction,,👣🌬🌎
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. You may want to view a couple of her videos in a recording booth when she was 6 years old. Then at 7, she went on Norway’s Got Talent and WON. She will blow your socks off. Enjoy.
Welcome to the world of the barefooted princess and jazz queen Angelina Jordan I have Nothing What a Difference a Day Makes Feeling Good The Show Must Go On You make me feel so Young
She is the best indeed, i can't get enough of her. There are so many songs to suggest, maybe next Bohemian rapsody. ua-cam.com/video/tC1hD7k_WTw/v-deo.html
Samantha, great reaction....better late than never, but we knew you wouldn't regret it. You have no idea how fun it is watching peoples reaction that have never heard her before. The facial expressions say it all. Your journey has just begun in Angelina's resume of original songs and covers, studio recordings, live concerts, sitting in front of a microphone "playing". You will have trouble putting into words what your ears and heart are hearing and feeling. Truly an amazing person.
Greetings from Scotland! Woah, steady on Samantha! Reacting to Diana Ankudinova and then AJ back-to-back in quick succession can be seriously damaging to your health! :))) I always wait for the facial reaction when AJ starts singing, then again when she hits that big raspy power notes! I laugh every time! I know what it's like because I did exactly the same! I mean, how many 14yo girls get signed by a company like Republic Records and practically given carte blanche to do what and when she wants! They knew she was a massive opportunity and way too good to miss! She's 15 now (Jan this year) and has already released 2 really good singles that you should listen to. "Million Miles" (studio version in B&W) is superb! Get the hankies ready tho! ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html Also "Seventh Heaven" - ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html Great reaction Samantha! 2 of the best young singers in the world in one day! Brave lady! :))
Wide-eyed, slack-jawed, completely hypnotized, amazed by the sheer surprising unbelievable sound? Yep - a spell has been cast! Samantha, there is no getting away from this, so please don't stop reacting to her songs and covers! The wonders never cease. Love from Norway!
I love it when someone new never heard of Angelina Jordan and this is the song they pick of hers as the first its always the same. Great Job hope to see more from you soon.
@@karolyn8644 Yes, I think the point that people try to make is that his rendition of this was more theatrical. There is a story that the producer brought in food and beers when he first recorded it, they got a little drunk, but it proved very popular... Angelina tried to do a more musical version, but still with the passion of the original.
I think what SJ Hawkins did was parody the opera genre, mocking it's ritualistic style, since as a black man in the USA in the 1950's he was never allowed on stage though he'd done all the training and had the voice. I think Angelina's interpretation expresses his outrage perfectly, though how she came to that at her age is a mystery. Grandma Mery?
So, you see that at 9 years and 2 months old she is already a professional and accomplished artist who has captured the essence of the original song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956 in her arrangement. She chose this song as a tribute to the original singer, whose picture is shown on the candle in the beginning and the papers she handed to the band leader were her last-minute changes for him. The band may have gone in that day and been taken aback by playing for a nine-year-old, but by the end of the day they were calling her, "The Boss." This performance is not typical of Angelina but shows that she can perform in any genre, although she prefers jazz. She always performs barefoot and there is an interesting story behind that. Angie has been in the public eye since she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent in 2013, when she was 7 and won it at age 8. Now at 15 years old she has written 5 songs, sung two written for her, and covered about 135 other songs of 70 different artists. She signed to Republic Records as a highest priority new artist in 2020. Her recent releases of originals and covers are beyond superlative. Angie's musical abilities are beyond mere mortal understanding!
The musicians deserve love for their perfect accompaniment of our angel!
It's 8/5/2022 and this is still the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
.......the picture on the candle is "Screamin' Jay Hawkins", who recorded his version of this song in 1956....she is making notes to the band's arrangement at age 9!
I think she was alive in the 1940's and never aged!! So beautiful and talented! God given talent. Probably the greatest singer alive today!! You go babygirl!!
It's difficult to understand ! She's an enigma! Go Angelina !!!
Ok this is the first time I’ve heard this girl She could be my granddaughter but she sounds older than me. My god, what a voice!
Welcome to Angelina! Have you listened to any more of her songs since this exposure here?
Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina.
The best cover of this song ever I put a spell on you ❤❤
She is a real talent and i think being from Norway gives her confidence because of her simple uncommercial back ground that she lives in and nothing seems to phase her. Like all child stars i hope she is not rushed into stardom and gets to enjoy her young life before those opportunist agents bombard her with offers.
Welcome to Angelina's world.
9 years old. She is even more amazing now.
So Angelina was 7 years old when she won Norway’s got talent in 2014. She was nine years old when she recorded I PUT A SPELL ON YOU. In 2019 she competed in America’s Got Talent The Champions.She was 13 years old she sang a soulful version of Bohemian Rhapsody which won her the golden buzzer.
She is primarily a jazz singer. Dive into her younger work like Billy Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday or Sinatra’s Fly me to the Moon. Or listen to her jazz version of Jackson’s Billie Jean which she recorded recently at 15.
This is the "Screamin'" Joe Hawken's arrangement he recorded while drunk. (No, not kidding.) He didn't even remember recording it. To get to Angelina, we are talking some deep jazz roots; torch songs if you will. Back to Julie London and alike. She is not competing with anyone alive; she is channeling their sound. As a young performer, it's easier to mimic a proven sound than come up with your own, especially in such a monotone age as we live in. She is amazing because she has figured out the secret sauce and has the innate talent to pull it off.
Angelina Jordan on Dec 23rd she will perform an online live concert. Buy tickets on her website / original channel! Top musicians and interview with Angelina as well!
Not sure if you know but she is singing more closely to the original version by screamin jay hawkins. His picture was on the candle she had at the beginning.
you just opened a musical treausure box finding Angelina,the Barefoot princess of jazz,starts singing in studio when she was 6 years old,so mutch to discover of her,welcome to the journey of Angelina.
she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you are adorable
Welcome to Angelina's rabbit hole.
She is a modern day vocal Picasso as she can sing any genre and takes us on an emotional journey every time.
Hello Samantha. thank you for that nice reaction to Angie. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9 (when it was film & released a year later), even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 15 on 1-10-21 & she’s around 6 ft tall. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Others will explain this or you can look it up. I'll give you a link to her 1st released single by Republic records titled “Million Miles” She wrote this shortly after her 2nd grandpa died in Nov. 2019, she was 13 & her 1st grandpa died in 2018. Angie & her grandma did the art for the (official lyric video). Angelina said, “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in you heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her Instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.” Angie has arranged over 135 covers & written 5 songs & had 2 written for her & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile”
(I do hope you buy & download her single & help support her art & music)
Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions.

Goosebumps
Every time
Welcome to the greatest artist that ever walked the earth….
Samantha, went I first listen to Angelina's sing "Put a Spell on You" I couldn't believe the voice coming out of this little girl. She put a spell on me from that moment on over 4 years ago! I fell into the Angelina "Rabbit Hole" following her musical journey from a 7 yr old girl with Big hair and missing teeth to a beautiful teenage young Lady.
She Is a living legend since she was 7!!!!
WOW WOW WOW
She was 9 there she's 15 now born January 10th 2006. Nice reaction, She has many videos, close to 150 by now. I look forward to more reactions of her
Angelina's performance on this video usually destroys brain cells :) Every reactor has the same brain freeze.
Angelina has tons of "attitude" on this video. She is fearless.
Fernando I call it her "beast mode".
She’s 9. She won Norway’s Got Talent at age 7-8. She says she never gets nervous.
"I'm not nervous, because I believe in myself. I think the music has found me." -Angelina Jordan (2014, Age 8)
WOW !!!
🥰
Yes and she is so amazing.. i also made a reaction to her performance here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/JTWefU67udo/v-deo.html
Me too..
When interviewed on a Norwegian TV program, "When is it When you feel like you're 12?", she replied, "When I look at my passport."
Kezdheted 7 éves korától, egészen napjainkig, minden Angelina reakciódat megnézem!
She was 9 at the time of this recording. This was her arrangement. She auditioned in Norway's Got Talent when she was seven. She won that competition. She may have turned eight during that time. She sang Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent the Champions when she was 13. Quite a talent!
She is the best singer on the Planet. A gift from heaven for all of us to enjoy. A legend already. Enjoy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes!!!!!
Absolutely already a Legend !!!!!!!!
Боже, как мне вас жаль! Вы настолько ограничены, что выше Анжелины для вас никого нет? Это для вас крутое исполнение? Вы ещё не слушали других талантливых исполнителей, лучшие голоса России!
@@ruhjiiidnoo8319 nothing funny in his/her comment. AJ is definitely the best singer alive today, i'm from India and Jazz is not even my kind of music, i prefer something else entirely different than any western music, i stumbled upon one of her songs by chance and was completely blown away by her.
Angelina Jordan, What A Difference A Day Makes, she was 8. Huge crowd and she acts like it's just another day of fun.
here she is 9yo old, she has rearranged the whole song, the original is from Screamin 'Jay Hawkins 1956 all the bands she plays with call her "The Boss" because she sets the tone but in a very respectful way she is 15yo today There are over 130 covers by all the popular stars as well as classic and 5 originals that she wrote herself (google translater)
We have same reaction when i made my reaction video to her.. once in a lifetime singer Angelina Jordan
You'd prolly really enjoy her performance of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent, when she was 13. According to her, she began singing at the ripe age of 1 and a half years old. At about 4 or 5 years old, she began begging her parents, to let her try out for "Simon's show", as she put. They finally relented, and allowed her to try out for Norway's Got Talent. As she has stated many times; She won Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old, with songs like "Summertime" and "Gloomy Sunday". At the end of the final, it was announced that she had garnered 46% of the vote total, with the other nine finalists combining for the remaining 54%. It wasn't even close. Angelina always performs barefoot, as a reminder of the millions of impoverished children in the world, This began one day, on the way to a performance. She found herself talking to a similarly aged little girl on the street, weighing people for bits of change, and noticed she was barefoot. She asked, and her mom explained the less fortunate. Moments later, Angelina gave her new little friend, the shoes she had been wearing, and they embraced. It's my understanding, that they still stay in touch. Angelina has already raised millions for various children's charities. Angelina does all of her own arrangements, writes, composes, sews and designs most of the frocks she performs in. 😉😊✌
Angelina was 9 years old when she did this performance. It is her version of the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins who recorded it in 1956.
There are over 140 videos of Angelina on You Tube. Enjoy the journey!
She entered Norways got talent at age 7 and won. This was done 2 months after her 9th birthday. She has 144 songs on utube 7 are original's 5 she wrote. She sang for the Nobel peace prize concert at age 8. She has incredible range and absolute control. Does her own arrangements. She arranged this.shes the girl with a thousand voices, the barefoot angel, the jukebox and the BOSS. Best singer I've ever seen .
This is just the tip.of the iceberg. There's a huge collection of her stuff to go through covering Adele, Elvis, Whitney, Freddie Mercury Dolly Parton and many more. She's often better than the original's .
Anyone can hear that she has talent, but her ability to convey emotions that she cannot have the experience to understand baffles me…
That's what I thought too ! It doesn't seem possible but, I'm 63 and have never heard anything like this young lady...... just amazing really ! Go Angelina
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance. She is 9 and two months old here... 🗣🎙
She is 9 yrs 2 months.
Angelina Jordan 🥰 The epitome of talent in my opinion.
I fell hopelessly and completely in love with this angel, the very first time I heard her, which was on AGT at 13. Doing Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. Truly amazing. She reminds me of the late Eva Cassidy, in the way she covers the well known songs. You would know the title, and think I know how this will sound, and then your jaw hits the ground when she does the song. She does it her way, and makes it like a brand new song, heard for the first time. This girl will go places, if producers don't try to tell her what they want, but let her do her thing. As far as I am concerned, she is number one over ANY singer known today.
She was 7 when she won Norways Got Talent.......she is 9 in this clip. Brilliant isn't she. I have followed her from the beginning and she is a talented singer, a brilliant music arranger, a compassionate human being and a true wonder of the world.
heidi She won NGT when she was 8.....The show was in 2014. She was born Jan. 2006. Do the math.
Yes, she has confidence. And she has been singing since she was 4 y. o. She has had the best support she ever could have. Her grandmother is a famous jazz singer and her parents are musicians and are involved in the music industry. Her grandmother has been her voice coach since she showed interest in singing when she was 4. And with that background no wonder she has such confidence in music. And perhaps very stubborn too.
leif I don't know where you get your information, but you need to find a reliable source....She's been singing (she called it "mumbling") since she was 1 1/2. She began searching UA-cam for her favorite artists when she was 3. Her grandmother does not sing (she's an artist who was a child prodigy). Neither parent is a musician. Her father is in the oil and gas industry and her mother's involvement in the music industry is only as it relates to Angelina's career. Her grandma is not her vocal coach....If you're going to post a comment, get your facts straight.
Angelina is fearless when it comes to singing. total confidence on stage.
Confidence is Angelina's middle name! You have just seen the tip of the iceberg, I'm in for the ride with our Barefoot Princess, the Queen of jazz, great reaction, she just turned 9 when this video was made!
Welcome to Angelina's World!! :)
"I Put a Spell on You" is a 1956 song written and composed by Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins. Angelina is singing to mimic Screamin Jay. This why she is shall I say screaming. Look him up, listen to the original.
9 year 2 month old Angelina created a great arrangement (seen working on it at the beginning of the video) then took charge of the studio and the band to deliver my favorite cover of this 1956 Jay Hawkins classic. Angelina's sharp inflections are like daggers being hurled at you. Her sassy, emotional performance has left many reactors exhausted, befuddled and/or speechless. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 8, (please refer to replies by erik to a comment I made on JHTreacts video on 6/7/21 who provides proof Angelina had already turned 8) Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
i think she worked on it when she was still 8, it was released after her 9th birthday
Angelina began singing at the age of 1 1/2. She listened to the greats of Jazz, her favorite being Billie Holiday, also Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Sinatra, and Etta James among others. She taught herself and begged her mom to let her enter competitions. Her parents never pushed her, but stressed the importance of her education first. Mom finally relented when she was 7, and entered into Norway’s Got Talent, which she won singing Jazz covers. She arranges all of her songs. Angelina says that she never gets nervous, she loves to sing.
This was her production. The paper she handed the band manager at the beginning were her 'requests' for changes she wanted the individual band members to make. The band members affectionately call her 'the Boss'. A child prodigy, she has been arranging the music she sings since she was 7. The recording contract she signed a few months ago gives the 15 year old singer complete control over all of her recordings.
Good for her 👏 👍
@ David Wood More precisely, she presented this list as her "wishes"🤗 The director said she was very polite.
Loved your reaction. Well done. 👍👍👏👏
Thank you for reacting to the diamond vocals - The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is a young living legend.
When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today, because she is so mature for her age. No need to hurry, I'm sure Angelina has good people around her. I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 600 Million Views on UA-cam and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via UA-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years I know that we will see great things from Angelina.
If you need to identify who she sound like, I can tell you that she has 1000 different voices to choose from, depending on the song choice and type .. It's Angelina.
Thank you, Samantha, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof! That’s what UA-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
You will discover so much more from this girl. This is just her 'beast' mode. She is already a jazz whizz, I think jazz is her first language. She has a hundred more. She's the most interesting, skillful and beautiful singer I know of. And she just keeps delivering, time after time.
❤️ your reaction Samantha and Welcome to Angelina’s World 👍🙂, 👍 from a Angelina fan
Samantha, don't worry: She causes this kind of reaction in any human being who hears her singing and interpreting any kind of music! You responded wonderfully!
Welcome to AJ World! Dive in!
Pick any song of hers, they're all amazing. Or you could start at the beginning and listen to her audition for Norway's Got Talent at age 7. She blew the judges away with Gloomy Sunday, Billie Holliday style.
There should be a warning label on this one! Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force. You've done it now. 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 (135+ 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted.
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.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). She starts low, rising in intensity throughout and finishes in an unexpected and practically operatic style.
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

The extraordinarily rare combination of spellbinding & incomprehensible.
She has known the mic since she was one and half years young, So I think we can call her a legend with like 140 performances so far 🧡😍👍
Hello and thank you for a wonderful reaction to our BAREFOOT ANGEL. She is 9yrs old in this video and already a genius when it comes to arranging her cover songs, and yes she does her own arrangements. She loves Jazz and she has covered some of the greatest Jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Shirley Bassey and so many more. I hope you will continue to react to more of her and all her ANGELS will be right there with you. Thank you.😇💞💞💞💞
Be careful, Angelina is highly addictive. 😆
Welcome to the world of Angelina ! It's about time you get to enjoy a truly gifted artist ! She was 9 in this video ! She has been singing since the age of 2 and has a jazz influenced background ! She won Norway's Got Talent in 2014 at 7 yrs old ! Har rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent the champions edition in 2020 was a masterpiece !!! Angelina has well over 100 covers on UA-cam and she manages to make each one her own ! Her latest originals songs "Million Miles and 7th Heaven " are phenomenal ! Angelina has a huge loyal fan base as you will see ! We call her our barefoot princess and we love her dearly ! Thank you for your wonderful comments and support ! Keep posting because it is much appreciated ! You're lovely and hope to hear your react to more Angelina ! 🤗👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
ron Won NGT at 8.
@@103mrg 7 sounds better but you're right it was 8 ! 🤗🤗
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 ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS*** P.S. You are going to love this ride!!!
Yep she was 7 winning the first shows, she is 9 here more experienced.. ;)
Recommend her The show most go on (13), AGT Bohemian Rhapsody (13)
and her very own song Million Miles (black and white studio version, 15)
A first time reaction to Angelina is always priceless - she is actually even better than it seems after 1 video - simply because she can sing anything.... In my (and most of the viewers) opinion, she is a generational talent, probably the best singer born in the 2000s (And many of us are older than most reactors). This is easier to appreciate when watching some more material from her :-)
Wow. For a first hearing of Angelina, your comments were spot on. She is truly an amazing singer, called the girl with 1,000 voices. You heard an extreme one today because Angelina, even at 9, was re-creating a style authentically. Her biggest influence has been Billie Holiday, so you were right about that 40’s vibe. But Angelina, now 15, covers jazz, blues, ballads, soul, pop, r&b, and other genres like they are all in her sweet spot. She is, without question, the best singer I’ve ever heard.
You’ll like that she, in fact, does makes every song her own. Do you want to be stunned? Watch her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it’s the best music video I’ve ever seen, and you’ll see right away what sets Angelina apart. Or go back to when she was 7 and see her debut to the world with her cover of Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. If you like Adele, you’ll like Angelina’s versions of Adele’s beautiful songwriting better. She is once in a lifetime good. Just start listening.
9 years old here. When she was 7 she was winning Norways Got Talent. At 6 she was in her school studio recording "I Who Have Nothing "
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The artist grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2021 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, Save the world shes on her way to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.
Hola Samantha, que buena reaccion, esto es impresionante, con esta cancion conoci a Angelina y no hay un dia que no escuche canciones de ella, me rompio la cabeza, si la seguis conociendo te vas a dar cuenta que Angelina es mas que musica, ahi hay algo mas, ojala sigas reaccionando a ella, me gusto mucho, saludos desde Argentina...
Now you know that she was 9yrs old here.Flash forward to a few days before her 11th birthday and check out the perhaps equally impressive I'm still holding out for You.Wonderful reaction,look forward to many,many more.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Another spell has been cast!
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece and amazing performance by the 9 yo Barefoot Angel. I subscribed because anyone who appreciates the talent of this music prodigy deserves a subscription.
Angelina is a precious gift for everyone: a layperson that enjoys music, a connoisseur of music, and the world of music.
The Bare Foot Princess Angelina Jordan...The Prodigy. It is a place where you will be shook at the talent for every cover (140 +) with six originals and today she is only fifteen. A solid journey of nine years of watching a world class composer who does all her own arrangements. All of the major talent in the world today know who she is. She has just not fully come on the scene but the explosion is anytime soon.Very protective family. I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to watching more. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole. Hang on its a great ride with the girl with a thousand voices.
You might want to check out a recent song Angelina wrote called Million Miles. She wrote it in memory of her grandfather who died in 2019. It’s a beautiful song and you will see how the 6 foot plus Angelina has grown. I recommend the live in studio version of it.
I thought she was 6 foot also but found out she is currently 5 foot 4. 👱♀️👗👠👠💓😊
@@shanialover If she is 5 foot 4 then I am a towering giant of 7 foot 7 whereas, in reality, I am a mere 5 foot 8. Do a search, and you will find pictures of Angelina with other people whose height is known to be near 6 ft, and she is taller than they are.
@@alberttenfoot It is much easier to simply look up her name and measurements to find out her height and weight as well as bust-waist-hips! You can even find out that she has Hazel eyes with a simple search 😊💓
@@shanialover Please point me to the authoritative source from where you get your information, as I have just ploughed through over 30 sites, and all of them contain inaccuracies. For ex sampler, her height ranges from 5.0 ft to 5ft 10 in.
@@shanialover sometimes you need to ignore google and engage with reality. If you search google for Meeting Angelina Jordan, there is a video by React to the World from 2019 when she was thirteen. Not only is she clearly much taller then the interviewers, but they she she’s 6 foot tall to her face, and when she walks away she’s wearing trainers, so no high heels.
Thank you very much for this reaction! I hope you do many more reactions to her
Jazz raspy blues soul voice!!!!!!!!
Very beautiful!!!!!!!!
Speechless!!!!!!!
Amazing, isn't it.
Loved your reaction, thank you!
I liked your reaction. I hope you do more with this extraordinary artist who is Angelina Jordan
Me gustó tu reacción. Espero que hagas mas con esta extraordinaria artista que es Angelina Jordan

It's crazy, feeling good at 10 years old is incredible, thanks Samantha. sdos 🇦🇷 🇦🇷
Great reaction,, you got an going to get alot of information about her through the rest of her Angles (fan's) so is just want to say thank you for your reaction,,👣🌬🌎
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. You may want to view a couple of her videos in a recording booth when she was 6 years old. Then at 7, she went on Norway’s Got Talent and WON. She will blow your socks off. Enjoy.
Welcome to the world of the barefooted princess and jazz queen Angelina Jordan
I have Nothing
What a Difference a Day Makes
Feeling Good
The Show Must Go On
You make me feel so Young
She is the best indeed, i can't get enough of her.
There are so many songs to suggest, maybe next Bohemian rapsody.
ua-cam.com/video/tC1hD7k_WTw/v-deo.html
Great reaction, there are 0ver 140 and you will not be disappointed!! She is beyond words.
She's an old soul. Love the reaction, looking forward to more.
Samantha, great reaction....better late than never, but we knew you wouldn't regret it. You have no idea how fun it is watching peoples reaction that have never heard her before. The facial expressions say it all. Your journey has just begun in Angelina's resume of original songs and covers, studio recordings, live concerts, sitting in front of a microphone "playing". You will have trouble putting into words what your ears and heart are hearing and feeling. Truly an amazing person.
Princess Angelina is so POWERFUL!! We love love looooooove her ♥♥♪♫♪♫♪
Greetings from Scotland! Woah, steady on Samantha! Reacting to Diana Ankudinova and then AJ back-to-back in quick succession can be seriously damaging to your health! :))) I always wait for the facial reaction when AJ starts singing, then again when she hits that big raspy power notes! I laugh every time! I know what it's like because I did exactly the same! I mean, how many 14yo girls get signed by a company like Republic Records and practically given carte blanche to do what and when she wants! They knew she was a massive opportunity and way too good to miss! She's 15 now (Jan this year) and has already released 2 really good singles that you should listen to. "Million Miles" (studio version in B&W) is superb! Get the hankies ready tho! ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html
Also "Seventh Heaven" - ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html
Great reaction Samantha! 2 of the best young singers in the world in one day! Brave lady! :))
Wide-eyed, slack-jawed, completely hypnotized, amazed by the sheer surprising unbelievable sound?
Yep - a spell has been cast!
Samantha, there is no getting away from this, so please don't stop reacting to her songs and covers!
The wonders never cease.
Love from Norway!
Great reaction to such an amazing performance! Congratulations on 30,000 subscribers! Amazing!
Greetings from London 😀
She was 9 in this. Born 10th of January 2006 so this "little girl" grew quite a bit since then.
I love it when someone new never heard of Angelina Jordan and this is the song they pick of hers as the first its always the same. Great Job hope to see more from you soon.
She won Norse Talenter at age 8.
She's following Screamin' Jay Hawkins' original arrangement and uses her own vocal skills, which he never had.
Hawkins was classically trained in opera. I think he had a few vocal skills.
@@karolyn8644 Yes, I think the point that people try to make is that his rendition of this was more theatrical. There is a story that the producer brought in food and beers when he first recorded it, they got a little drunk, but it proved very popular... Angelina tried to do a more musical version, but still with the passion of the original.
I think what SJ Hawkins did was parody the opera genre, mocking it's ritualistic style, since as a black man in the USA in the 1950's he was never allowed on stage though he'd done all the training and had the voice. I think Angelina's interpretation expresses his outrage perfectly, though how she came to that at her age is a mystery. Grandma Mery?
@@lengould9262 Grandma was certainty an inspiration...
Similar but she changed some parts. It's her arrangement.
A time traveler from the 1940s. She is the greatest singer on the planet...period. she gives me goosebumps Everytime. What a beautiful young lady!
I truely LOVE MISS JORDON'S VOICE SHE BLEW ME AWAY WHEN SHE WALKED OUT ONTO THE STAGE ON AGT I WAS THERE FOR HER AUDITION I'M SO HAPPY SHE GOT SIGNED
So, you see that at 9 years and 2 months old she is already a professional and accomplished artist who has captured the essence of the original song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956 in her arrangement. She chose this song as a tribute to the original singer, whose picture is shown on the candle in the beginning and the papers she handed to the band leader were her last-minute changes for him. The band may have gone in that day and been taken aback by playing for a nine-year-old, but by the end of the day they were calling her, "The Boss." This performance is not typical of Angelina but shows that she can perform in any genre, although she prefers jazz. She always performs barefoot and there is an interesting story behind that. Angie has been in the public eye since she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent in 2013, when she was 7 and won it at age 8. Now at 15 years old she has written 5 songs, sung two written for her, and covered about 135 other songs of 70 different artists. She signed to Republic Records as a highest priority new artist in 2020. Her recent releases of originals and covers are beyond superlative. Angie's musical abilities are beyond mere mortal understanding!
