Angelina does belt in a few songs, including I Have Nothing (reaching a bit for the 1 or 2 highest notes) and It's a Man's world. Her range that I (and others) have witnessed is 3.5 octaves, from around B2 to around F5. In I Have Nothing she uses a full chest voice, reaching the upper limit, whereas in Unchained Melody (at the very end) she uses a head voice to get to the same approximate range (edit: I just checked and it's G5). It's a Man's World doesn't go quite as high as I have nothing, but the power in her voice is astonishing. Songs like A Million Years Ago show off the lower limits of her range. You may hear 5 octave range from some of her fans. This is confusion caused, I believe, by a reactor noting that she was reaching well into the 5th octave in I Have Nothing. People read that as "5-octave range. I think the most remarkable thing about her range is the ease with which she can sing at the lower end. Also, I know you didn't mean it in a bad way, but while Angelina definitely was gifted with a beautiful tone, she has developed superb vocal control and learned many techniques through years of hard work. She is a classic case of immense talent + immense dedication in a small child with a supremely malleable brain. As a child (not sure how long) she studied music after school at the Conservatory in Oslo. I sure hope she has a vocal coach to protect her vocal cords but we don't hear anything about that. You need to check out her amazing new original single, Million Miles, released under her new label Republic Records and produced by the Stargate duo! Thanks for the pro-grade reaction!!!
oh finally I understand why is everyone saying 5 octave range, cause I am a big fan of her, but that was extreme reach since it would be a whistle. I get it now. no no, 3,5 is 100 percent a fantastic range, but as I said range means a little to Angelina (it is a born ability, flexibility of the vocal chords, it can be trained but only to an extent), she would be an amazing singer with her technique anyways. I was coming out of the two songs I heard so far (first one was rhapsody). I cannot wait to hear some more of her! On your remark of vocal coaching, 100 percent. especially if she attended conservatory (idk about northern countries, but I had my vocal coach for years after I left school, she knew me the best, so there is a possibility she trained with her further) She has something I call sophisticated voice (voice that have been educated since the very childhood, usually kids from the age approx 5, which is where I started too) schooled and polished. It really shows. I am super happy she is protecting it with a proper care.
And thank you for being civil and extremely kind about your comment, it is super appreciated while people here are attacking my everything basically (from my title to my singer skills). So I appreciate you taking time, explaining properly and being an overall kind human being.
@@Katriinka aww thank you Katriinka. I’m walking around with a warm glow right now! 😊 There are only a couple reasons why anyone would attack your voice. They are jealous or they have rotten eel innards where their soul should be.
Hi David, been a while. She actually hits a G5 in "It's a mans world" with such ease. In the WH song "I have nothing" some think it's at least a G5 maybe higher for she does back phrasing in that song too.
I see a lot of talk about range in the comments. With Angelina, I think we have to talk about a different kind of range.... style range. I personally have never heard an artist that has such complete mastery over so many different styles of singing. She can sing old jazz from the 40's or she can sing modern techno pop.... and everything in between. But not only can she sing all those styles... when she does it, she makes it sound so good, and makes it look so effortless that you would think that it is her specialty style. For me "note range" is a dime a dozen.... the range Angelina has is very rare, and priceless. And I couldn't make a comment to a new reactor, without including this..... 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 14 - 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 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. 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 three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (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. Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 14 she is just getting started!!!
I think there about Angelina that are extra special. Not only did she notice the young girl with no shoes, but she helped on her own. She decided on a course of action to highlight this issue, and carried it out on her own. We all know she is extraordinary in her craft of singing, but she has a kind, caring, and devoted resolve to help others. How many young people her age can say that.
Hi Katriinka, you are just some months in the universe of Angelina Jordan - thanks a billion for this lovely and professional reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! I think you know it already: Since your first song sung by AJ that you listened to you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - not only when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) As you said "...high for her..." in the first part of this song I had to smile - until now you haven't reacted to many videos from her she shows, that she can sing higher than here - her Whitney Houston Tribute of "I Have Nothing" for example (ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html) - but there are many more. And if you want to compare her songs as a young child with these as an older child you should look for her first "visit" in a recording studio (see link down) and for exaple to her different versions of "fly me to the moon": there are versions where she was 8 till 12: Age Upload Where link 8 21.03.2014 "Senkveld ""The Late Show"" (TV2)" ua-cam.com/video/rFWs2Z_RZ3Y/v-deo.html 8 19.09.2014 "The View" US-TV Show ua-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/v-deo.html 10 09.07.2016 Kongsberg jazzfestival ua-cam.com/video/iOdWleX9fzE/v-deo.html 11? 12.02.2017 Music video by Mery Zamani (her grandma) ua-cam.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/v-deo.html 12 02.12.2019 Rehearsal for the Quincy Jones birthday in the London O2 Arena ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html I promise it is worth to immerse yourself it her previous oeuvre! Here are some facts I give normally the newcomers - but as you asked for more information about her you may be will find some more news for you in the following lines... There is a big pile of over 130 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... She is born 10th January 2006, sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/). First of all here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ua-cam.com/channels/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA.html Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg.html Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ and the site of Republic Music with her introduction: www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html) Her first "visit" to a recording studio at 6yo: "I who have nothing": ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html ... here are some links to the clips of NGT: First Audition: "Gloomy Sunday": ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html Judges' Cut-Off: "I’m a fool to want you" ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html Semi Final: "Bang Bang": ua-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/v-deo.html Final: "Summertime": ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html … here in between NGT and AGT you will find a huge selection of videos with Angelina and each of it will blow your mind. … her originals: 1. "Million Miles", released on Nov. 6th 2020: ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html 2. "Shield" - several versions: * live in a TV show ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html * audio from a studio recording ua-cam.com/video/XVtUZWHmY8Y/v-deo.html * music video by her granma ua-cam.com/video/DJRNtjek9Gs/v-deo.html 3. "Oslo": ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html 4. "What Is Life": ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html - and songs especially wrote for her: 1. "Song for A": ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html - there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie (the woman in the lyrics) or both of them ;-) ) 2. "Above the water": ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my preferred genre ;-) ... here her "mini concert" from AGT the Champions (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...): "Bohemian Rhapsody": ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html “Someone You Loved": ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena). And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield"). So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty ... And a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
I really really love your critique of this. And the fact that you give EXAMPLES of what your talking about for the layperson or non singers!! Thank you! I have watched every vocal coach on youtube i think and i def like your channel the best!
You have a beautiful voice and love your analysis. Angelina also has a beautiful voice and something about it is very captivating. I look forward to more of your reactions to Angelina.
I too, used to believe she couldn't hit high notes, then i heard her do Whitney Houston (I have nothing) and actually hit Eb 5 on a very strong mixed voice. And switched to head voice on E5. So, yes! She is able to go very high, and retain her beautiful tone. I guess she is more concerned with maintaining the range that best suits a particular song, than trying to show off, like so many mediocre singers have a tendency to do.
yes, yes. That is why I wanted to mentioned it. This vide didnt need that, so it was super nice to keep it this way, just maybe I would pick it up a tiny bit so the lower notes wouldnt be so restricting for her. I cannot wait to hear more from her :)
@@Katriinka A lot of people comment very confidently on her pitch range when they really have no idea what they're talking about (I'm not referring to you, p. a.). The bottom line is this: The lowest note we've heard from her is in "How Great Thou Art" ua-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/v-deo.html and her highest notes are more varied, because she sings them differently in different songs. Her highest "pure tone" note is in "Unchained Melody" when she was 9 ua-cam.com/video/wPfMzMeBLbo/v-deo.html and again when she was 11 ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html (same note both times). Her highest belted note is in "I Have Nothing" ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html posted when she 13. And then there's a "screech" she did in "I Put a Spell on You" ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html at 9, which I'm not sure should really "count". On the non-musical side, probably the highest pitch she's produced in any video that is publicly available is a scream she let out on a roller coaster ua-cam.com/video/9T_QdpM90-A/v-deo.html when she was 10. So, there ya go. You can make your own assessment of what her range is. (All of these videos, except the roller coaster one, are well worth reactiing to.) (BTW, p. a., I believe her highest note in "I Have Nothing" is actually a G5. It's when she sings "Stay in my arms" for the last time. She also sings that note more cleanly than Whitney did in the original studio recording of the song, which is pretty damned impressive, if you ask me. :)
@@cliffirddelbridge2810 just imagine her at 25, with fully developed vocal chords and true life experiences, heart breaks and all. It's a blessing to be alive while she's doing her run. This child will be studied for hundreds of years.
So interesting to hear your analysis of what she's doing technically that makes her singing so compelling and beautiful. Thank you for a lovely reaction!
I couldn't agree with you more. Angelina is a child prodigy. You don't make up those jazzy, bluesy riffs and beyond-your-years interpretations by practicing, they come directly from the soul. They're built in. She and her voice are such a "natural" event that you don't critique it or question it. Just thank God you're able to listen to it. Credit to you, Katriinka, for recognizing, disseminating, and applauding it. The world we live in today needs more Anglelinas... and you!
❤️ In the softest & most gentle part of her voice, conveys the most powerful & meaningful message ❤️ Thank you for your raw & emotional reaction ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜
She is 14 at this time. She does not need need to push it too far. But she interprets song better than anyone I have heard for songs she hasn't written. Loved her first song I have heard, Looking forward to her future songs, She is fantastic.
She obviously not a bass, so in order to have 5 octaves range she should go to the whistle register. Angelina doesn't do such things and I hope not going to do.
Igor Sukmansky true I guess 5 octave is a little exaggerated. at least she goes low as G3 and mixed voice I think was D5, unchained melody she sang pretty high I guess still in the 6 th. octave, but she might be able to get heigher than that. anyhow that it already quiet impressive and well sufficient. Writing on the wall was also a high headvoice she did and beautiful too( at 9) If you are up to a beatiful soprano, try Laura Bretan. There is a quiet nice cover of Amazing grace and Adagio she did. remarkable. thanx I enjoyed your reaction verbal and nonverbal. Please more of her
@@joergcruel7625 Range in no way, shape or form defines good singer. there are tons with small range and are top world class artists. Vocal range is basically how much can your vocal chords stretch, you born with it (you can practice of course, but think about it as an elastic thread, ou can strech it a bit but eventually it would break) she is wonderful in what she does, actually my praise was much bigger because I gave her credit for what she worked for (technique, minimalistic work on runs,...) and not for what just was given naturally for free. She is wonderful in what she worked for and naturally came with (both amazing)
@@IgorS_Isr She gets as low as as A2-B2 and higher than G5 (Not a whistle reg. either) no one knows exactly how high over a G5 she can do. Well she was doing this when she was 12, so now today at 14 how knows. She does her own thing & controls the music she chooses, sings & writes. Republic records are letting Angie have that freedom & don't want to stand in her way of her God given talent & voice.
Here is the link to her Whitney Tribute I have nothing. ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html I think she was 13 when she performed this. If you want to have your mind blown you should listen to her cover of the classic I put a spell on you by Scream Jay Hawkins. The black and white version is the best . Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html She does use her whistle register in it. She did this at 9 and she did all the arrangements for it. Also in the beginning of video she is writing something for the session director which you can see his reaction. She is indicating how she would like the piano player to come in. PLEASE react to both her at 9 and 13. You will enjoy them both.
Thank you, Katrinka, for a wonderful Angelina reaction. The other comments here will give you excellent information about Angelina. Let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
I will definitely check more of her, no worries, but trust me Nightwish, philipino, dimash and tons of other fandoms are loyal and supportive a lot. I want to see her cause I am interested, not just because of views and subs :) i genuinely enjoy her :)
They said Elvis had a limited range too. Never the less, he became the king. Angelina sounds like someone that can become a queen. She has another kind of range. Its called magic. :) I got here because of Angelina, but the few notes you sang Katriinka made me want to hear more of you. Love your voice too!
Angelina can belt songs out it’s just that you haven’t heard them yet she always sings everything just how she wants it to sound she can sing anything and she can do very high react to Angelina singing I’m a Fool to want you on Norway’s got talent and then in the studio last year when she was 13 love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🌹👏👍🦶😘XX
Being a vocal coach and also like jazz I think you must go back in time and start listening to Angelina when she was 7 years old. Listen then to some of her over a 100 covers songs and her own songs. Watch how she can perform in different music genres and most of the time it sounds like a new song . Thank you for your reaction. Looking forward for more reactions to Angelina.
Need to listen to more of her songs. She just turned 14. She has a new song out called million miles. Please listen to more of her. Check out her rehearsal practice for summertime when she is 7 or 8 she at one point gives the musician playing the horn direction how she wants him to play it by mimicking the horn soundand showing him that she wants him to go higher it’s hilarious but she understands music and she knew what she wanted out of the musician you might want to check out just two versions of I put a spell on you by Screaming Jay Hawkins I would check out both versions the black-and-white but then there’s one she’s just a bit older than nine and she really hits these beautiful low notes that are unbelievable more like a baritone.
A lot of people try to pin her voice down to this note or that note for me she has a voice that reaches out and grabs you and makes you feel, that is enough for me so I will listen and enjoy no matter what note she can or cannot hit.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Katriinka for this wonderful reaction to Angelina. For me, Angelina's voice has the most beautiful tone I've ever heard in a singer. If you love blues and jazz, Angelina is your girl! I would love to see the video from you comparing Angelina's singing as a child to her singing now.
I would love 💕 for you to do an analysis of her young voice compared to her present voice. I think that would be awesome. Today I saw a reaction were “Mike Ambitions” was blown away by Angelina’s voice on Million Miles (her new release). He had only heard her on Gloomy Sunday and Fly Me To the Moon at 7 and 8 years old. It was a shocker 😁
Welcome to the world of Angelina You have not heard a thing and a half about the abilities of this jazz princess. Every offer that people here give you is gold because in every performance you will hear something different, enjoy . . . ❣
Angelina began my UA-cam journey back into music. Via her, I discovered Dianna Ankudinova, Dimash then finally Nightwish and Floor Jansen. I had pretty much stopped listening to music fo years ( decades actually). I didn't NOT listen, I just didn't actively seek it out to listen to. Angelina made me want to listen to music again ( Put a Spell on You). Without her I would never discovered Dianna, nor Floor , so I owe her big time. Now I sit on youtube and fanboy ( OK ...fan old-bloke). Oh! by the way, your voice is georgeous! Really georgeous. Even distracts me from the abovementioned singers ( Alright, maybe not Floor. Sorry. That woman has a direct connection to my brain via an unknown pathway).
haha thank you so so much. I am so happy she did! Her voice is mesmerizing and she looks like such a cute soul. Also all that you mentioned are awesome artists :)
Angelina brought me here, she is extremely talented and full of surprises! Never seen your channel before and enjoyed the reaction Katrinka. Subscribed. Ah, now I remember your first reaction to Angelina! It's good to see you are sitting more comfortably now - I hope you are well.
@@Katriinka I've just very much enjoyed some of your music. You must look after yourself! Considering jazz; have you seen this of Angelina's ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html it's an incredible cover/interpretation of this ua-cam.com/video/MX-DKmIWrJI/v-deo.html Best wishes

Hola Katriinka, muy buena reaccion, y mas que reacciones a Angelina, siempre escuche Rock y Heavy y Angelina es como que hizo encontrar ese lado incolcluso que se ve que tenia con la musica y gracias a ella empece a consumis otra musica sin dejar lo anterior, ya tengo 51 años y nadie me hizo sentir tantas emociones hermosas, si cerras los ojos cuando canta te hace ver personas, paisajes, colores y tantas cosas, tambien por su lucha con la desigualdad y los niños a su corta edad, con solo salir descalza al escenario ya nos esta dando un mensaje, es algo increible y muy especial, sin dudas mi numero uno, gracias por la reaccion y por favor reacciona mas a Angelina, me gusta como explicas y aprendemos, saludos desde Argentina...
Angelina Jordan will sell songs because of her ability to "hit the spot" where emotions are concerned. She has an enviable ability to produce what people (even people who didn't think they would) want to listen to. She is the "goose bump queen". Music that stirs your emotions and you will never forget. She will be a legend in singing, she's already half way there. :) Always good to listen to your reaction videos Katriinka. people like you help people like AJ do what they do even better. :) xxx
Angelina has a huge gift of talent it is true, but few have put in the work to complete 130 or so covers across 60+ artists and numerous genres by the age of 13. It is that dedication that hones her impeccable sense of timing and variety of vocal techniques that she can employ as desired.
Angelina's Album she did with the Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces "It's Magic" and her single of "Fly Me to the Moon" still show up from time to time on Itunes Jazz charts!
People don't realize that Angelina is only 13 and has a range of voice controls, she started singing when she was 3 years old, not only can she reach then the high notes, but she can get to the lower notes with some simplicity as well, Angelina done her own take on Bohemian Rhapsody but also on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, She's a star in the making
Loved the reaction..I'm a huge fan of hers and Dimash, and put them on the same type of category but for very different reasons. I can't wait for you to continue your Angelina Jordan journey..just wait, she will continue to surprise you. Keep an eye out for Rusty Shackleford posting on your Angelina Jordan videos as well..he will always provide almost insider-like info on her whenever a reaction of hers is posted!
Very informative, Katriinka! At the tender age of 14, Angelina has something few singers have...she captivates the listener. Analyzing her techniques of melisma, retraction and phrasing aside, she bewitches you with her voice.
She has great high notes for contralto. F#5 with chest voice in I have nothing. And even higher with head voice in Unchanged melody. And low notes somewhere down to C3 in How great thou art.
Big notes little notes high or low all I hear from Angelina jordan is pure music she does what the song deserves no need for bling bling just the right amount of this and that and a little pinch of magic, love your voice great reaction.
There is a really long video of all her singing from age 7 to 14. It's really good. It really shows how she grew into her voice and her range and maturity even at a young age.
I recommend that you listen to more Angelina covers before making up your mind about her or her voice or what she is choosing to do. She is worth it. I appreciate your reaction .. but she's has worked singularly harder than any singer I've every heard of for versatility in her voice and amazing relaxation since she was tiny. I recommend you listen to her singing Gloomy Sunday at seven years old (her first song on Norway's Got Talent) as well as any of her Whitney Houston covers to hear her high voice. You will hear from a lot of Angelina fans, I am sure. Go to her own area on You Tube so you're not a) watching her in a tiny little part of the screen; and b) so you can hear her do a whole song without interruption. If you read about her childhood you will learn that she has worked extremely hard because of her passion for music and jazz (her grandmother loved and loves jazz) and since she was tiny she spent a huge amount of time listening to all the jazz classics and finding her own voice by figuring out how to relax and find how to do it. At five she wanted her mother to get her into Norway's Got Talent but they said their age limit wad seven. The four songs she does for them are available to see and are nothing short of mind- boggling and stunningly beautiful. She has mostly taught herself and found her own way .. with support from a wonderful family. She had always known what she wants it to be and sounds like and had amazing support getting there. And yes, she was and is blessed .. but your statement about "all she had to do is open her mouth and sing just like others who are born gifted" could not be farther from the truth. I imagine you will find this or for yourself if you decide to truly listen to and explore this amazing soul named Angelina.
For me it's not about range, belting, hitting this note or that note - it's about feelings. Does the singer connect with me on some way. Do I like the sound (tone) of their voice and how they deliver the song. Angelina has incredible technical skills and she uses them to deliver what is the most important factor me, and that is the emotions, the feelings, and the soul behind the lyric's meanings. If you want to let yourself get emotionally invested in a performance, Angelina can certainly accommodate you 😁 ...and oh yes, she's a 14 year old. Her future looks very bright indeed.
Jazz definitely can spice up any mood. You can probably check out KZ's collaboration with Jaya as they both sang Nina Simone's Feelin Good. You're gonna love it Katriinka!❤️
Great Angelina Jordan (born Angelina Jordan Astar on 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian child singer, of Iranian ancestry, whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent at the age of seven, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online, and led to worldwide press coverage.[1][2] She went on to win the competition (at eight) with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway. After Jordan's performances of two Billie Holiday songs, "Gloomy Sunday" and "I'm a Fool to Want You", on Norway's Got Talent, as well as "Fly Me to the Moon" on a TV talk show, all went viral online in March 2014, she was featured in Time,[1] Daily Mirror,] People, and other news outlets around the world.[6] She continued in the competition singing Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" live in the semifinals,[7] and won with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime", in the style of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's 1958 recording of the song. In September 2014, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the US television show The View,[8] bringing her wider fame in the United States. She also performed on several TV 2 programs in Norway over the next few years, including multiple appearances on Allsang på Grensen (Singalong at the Border, referring to the border fortress of Fredriksten where outdoor concerts are held) and on TV4 in Sweden. Jordan had a small guest role in the final episode of the Netflix series Lilyhammer, playing a girl who sings in a bar.[9] In December 2014, she realized a personal ambition by performing for Peace Prize recipients Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.[10] Jordan's recording debut, the three-song maxi-single My Christmas, was released in December 2014.[11] To support the release, Jordan performed the songs on multiple TV shows, including an appearance on Christmas Day. In 2015, Jordan began recording music that would eventually be collected on the six-song Angelina Jordan - The EP, released on 27 November 2017.[12] Many of the tracks were posted to her official UA-cam channel[13] well in advance of the EP release, in the form of music videos and lyric videos. These included her covers of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You", the music video for which was directed by Per Heimly, and Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black", in which Jordan sang her own original lyrics. These two music videos became the most popular videos on her official UA-cam channel, surpassing 5 million views each by 2020. In 2017, she created a second UA-cam channel specifically to present performances of cover songs.[14] In November 2015, Jordan published the book Mellom to hjerter (Between Two Hearts), illustrated by her grandmother, Iranian artist Mery Zamani.[15] The book tells the story of her meeting a poor motherless girl in Asia who has no shoes. After a long conversation in which they discuss their dreams in life, she gives the girl her shoes and the girl promises to pray for Jordan to fulfill her dream to become a successful singer. According to Jordan the book is based on a real incident which she cites as the reason for always performing barefoot.[16] In April 2016, Jordan performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the first season of the noncompetitive children's talent show Little Big Shots.[17] A year later she performed "What a Difference a Day Makes" on the UK version of the show. She also performed "I Put a Spell on You" on the German edition of the show, Little Big Stars, in 2017. In December 2016, she performed on Alan Walker is Heading Home, a live concert broadcast from Bergen, Norway, where she sang Walker's songs "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded".[18] On 15 June 2018, a full album of recordings with Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps), called It's Magic, was released.[19] The next day, Jordan and the band performed the full album live in a concert attended by Norway's Prime Minister. On 27 June 2018, Jordan performed "Fly Me to the Moon" for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London, as part of his 85th birthday celebration, and also joined with other singers to perform "Man in the Mirror" to close the show.[20][21] In 2019, Jordan performed for former president Barack Obama and other public figures at the Brilliant Minds conference in Stockholm. In October 2019, she competed in the second season of America's Got Talent: The Champions, which was aired in January and February 2020.[22] Her first appearance on the show, singing an original arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", received a "golden buzzer" from judge Heidi Klum (meaning that Jordan would pass directly into the finals). As with her Norway's Got Talent audition six years earlier, a video of Jordan's performance began to go viral on UA-cam, quickly reaching 10 million views.[23] The performance also garnered praise from Queen's official Twitter account.[24] Shortly afterwards, the video was taken down[23] and Jordan released a studio version of the same arrangement under her own copyright.[25] Jordan's second performance (in the finals), a similarly reworked "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" based largely on a version by Sara Bareilles, was also well received, but she was not among the top 5 acts. In August 2020, Jordan's manager (her uncle, Michael Astar) announced that she had signed with Republic Records.[3] Her first single on the label, "Million Miles", was released on 6 November 2020, on all major digital platforms.[4] An official lyric video was posted to her official UA-cam channel the same day.[26] The track was produced by the Norwegian duo Stargate, who also co-wrote the song with Jordan.[27] She has since released two additional music videos for the song: one showing her singing the song "live" in a recording studio, the other an "official music video" featuring her younger sister.[28][29] Personal life Edit Jordan was born in Oslo, Norway, and has lived for extended periods both there and in Los Angeles. She also lived for a time in the Middle East. She has a younger sister who has been featured in two of her music videos. Her father, Gerry Christian Slattman, is Swedish. Her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar, is the daughter of Iranian artist and poet Mery Zamani and a Japanese father.[31][16] Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training. In addition to singing, she plays the piano, violin, guitar, and flute, and also paints.[32] As of 2020, she is living and going to school in Los Angeles As of 2019, Angelina Jordan’s estimatednet worth is $9.4 million .
I think a song like "My Funny Valentine" is well suited to her. I enjoy her singing style with all the little embellishments she uses. She is a talent, that's for sure. I hope you are feeling well lately, stay safe.
Excellent technical analysis K. Just going to add to all my future expressions of appreciation of her hard work and sacrifices, when she started her patreon, she expressed a hope for 2,000 members to help her finance her start into the music business. At now, only 250! Let's help the family out people.
Very thanks for your return and the new beautiful and careful reaction to Angelina, Katriinka. I loved this her version of the song, so melancholy and slowed down, with these incredible vocal games that really have changed this old song by Elton John, also if she is started from the version of Sara Bareilles. From the first time I listened to her, with the lights and her yellow / orange dress perfectly in the character, I've seen it dozens of times, but every time I hear her, the emotion assails me again ❤️ ❤️ If you like, see the new first original single released two weeks ago for Republic Records, "Million Miles", it's simply stunning ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html There are three other beautiful original songs of her and they were written and sung for the first time, between 11 and 12 years of age: "Shield" ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html "Oslo" ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/MfWVcDQix4Y/v-deo.html "What is life" ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
Angelina has many voices and sings many genre’s. When you first listen to Angelina you think of her in terms of that song and you judge her from how she sings it..her voice, range, quality...and you, like you are quite impressed....a few more sings and you will hear different voice qualities, different genre....still great quality...she has the ability to sing just about anything because her voice is so flexible. So saying that her voice is low is correct...in this song...but she can and does sing songs using higher rangers of notes beautifully. It just depends on what it is that she sings. She is a great jazz and blues singer and that is saying something for someone that is only 14 yrs old. I imagine when she gets older....she will be out of this world with jazz and blues. She has a huge variety of music to choose from and honestly her singing is addicting. She somehow can reach in and touch your soul and tug at your heartstrings....she does more memorable songs than I can recall..but one that she took and did her own arrangement..which she always does..and just sat down, with a mic and keyboard while being video’d while she started working out this song. I have heard that she like the way that it turned out right away so she stopped, went out and played with her sister in the backyard.....if you listen to this song you will understand my amazement. She was 12 years old.....and it is impossible to understand how a 12yr old has the comprehension to understand and then recreate their version which turned out so much more heart wrenching and hypnotic.....Wicked Games ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html. Here is the link if you care to listen......oh and another thing.....she really sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse in some of music. She has even done covers of her music....better than probably anybody else’s.
@@Katriinka actually I have seen 2 reaction video to aj by u and I loved your expertise and honesty and I can't wait to see more reaction to aj by u big hug from germany
I am a huge Angelina fan and I belive she has one of the most enjoyable voices around .. others must agree also sense she has one of the largest following fanbases in the world .she brings emotions to songs that other singer bring more belt , more techniques to but does little for the listener... I always enjoy your reactions and when your notification comes on you are one of the first I watch .. 10 thumbs up to you 👍 .. if you like the blues and jazz , check out Joe Bonamassa ,I belive he has more blues album hits than anyone in the world . Agin thanks
thank you so so much! You wrote a goddamn true! :) I wish more of her fanbase subbed to her youtube channel, but at least I left the link in description so they might find her :)
How many people even care about her range? High notes and low notes mean nothing. It is her tone that makes the difference and the fact that she doesn't just sing songs, she immerses herself and the listener in them.
I feel connected to the song when Angelina sings. Wide vocal range means nothing to me if it take away the emotion or feeling that Angelina is conveying.
You need to listen to more of her if you believe she has a limited higher range. She can get up there pretty good and she can belt it out really well too. You haven't heard the depth of her low range either. You mentioned she doesn't seem to try hard and she has to just open her mouth because of her wonderful tone quality. She has a enormous amount of natural talent, but she has been diligently practicing, honing, and perfecting her singing ability for a long long time. She is really phenomenal, but she also worked really hard to get that way.
I have never mentioned her not working hard, or not putting effort into her songs. I praised her for a smart vocal technique usage, good breath control and fantastic runs/ micro work on the pasages. I am not sure if you skipped those parts :) if it comes to range, I only listened to two of her songs so far, so I based that on that, which is why I said I think it might be the case (also smaller range singers are amazing too, there are tons of HUGE jazz and blues singers who were legendary and never got any enormous range) I am thrilled to see her sing some more and discover her whole potential a lot! :)
@@Katriinka Oh, I in no way was trying to convey anything other than that she has a lot of ability, but she also works really hard at it. Nothing more. When she sings, it looks easy but I think a large reason for that is the hard work she has done. There is a lot of practice that went into it. You're going to enjoy listening to her . She has a lot of really nice surprises waiting for you to hear.
I don’t think you can compare her as an adult yet, because I don’t think she is an adult yet. She was 13 when she was on America’s Got Talent, and she was 13 when she sang the song you just critiqued. She was 7 when she won the Norway title.
Thanks for a technical reactio to AJ. I've followed you gor a while even your pergormance & absolutely loved Jessica rabbit. Untill you hear something you can't really know but certain things can lead you to point in a direction, i suggest you listen to angelina do its a mans world for hi notes. Do note the body language & the conductor when she duels with the clarinet. Ciao
Angel can do whatever she deems necessary. But you are correct, it is all perfectly natural: "Born To Sing" as was said in NGT Audition, the first time a judge got to comment.
Not Only is Angelina 👣 over 5 Octave Singer... She never uses the same Voice twice Thus the title; "The Angel with Thousand Voices" the Only Genres I have not heard from Her is Rap, Opera and Metal, otherwise Nothing stands in her way.. She has earned the title; "The Queen of Jazz" as it is her favourite Style and her renditions are out of this World. 💫 Many people, Vocal Coaches and laymen alike listen to her first time and think they had figured Out her Voice and range until they hear her Next song and the Next..... and they get confused... 🤗 Angelina Jordan A-star does not Cover songs She Recovers and Revitalizes them.. Welcome to the Magical Wonder World of Angelina 😄👍 I Subbed to Your channel in hope You would take on a Journey with us and I'm Happy You're into Jazz and Blues because then You're certainly in the right place 😊👌 Thanks for Your Wonderful Reaction and Analysis to Our Singing Angel 👼👣🌟😃👍 ~ OneLove 💞 ~ JBB
@@Katriinka I haven't heard any whistle tones from her yet more than You heard in Yellow brick road if that counts but with her ability to adapt her Voice to every song she sings I'm sure she could/would rustle up some whistle tones if the Song required that 🙂 but her Versatility is unmatched and the Soul she conveys in every performance is her Signature and is Her Unique Style she calls " Heart to Heart" or "Soul to Soul" She has over 130 different Songs under her belt from over 80 widely different Artists all of which are famous for their unique vocal abilities like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lois Armstrong, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Frank Sinatra. Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin and on and on and She makes all of them Justice and it's beyond me HOW?? 🤔 Maybe You Could answer that 🤞😊
@@Bjarmarsson she is truly versatile, since training allows you to use various techniques. Professional singers do require to be versatile! :) I am asking because of the 5 octaves would be super high whistle tone which is unlikely? Where did you find the info about 5 octaves? (very few singers can whistle, usually it is almost anomaly). on top of her versatility there shines her unique voice. which is why she genuinely is one in thousands :)
Jöhannes, she doesn’t have a 5 octave range. That was a rumor started when people misunderstood what another reactor (also a professional) said about her range. He heard I Have Nothing for the first time and admitted that previously he thought she had only 1.5 or 2-octave range. He went back and checked the highest note himself and commented that she was actually well into the fifth octave. People in the comments took that to mean that she had a 5-octave range. But her lower limits is in the lower second octave, not A0. Her actual *range* is a little more than 3.5 octaves. To be five octaves she would need to be literally whistling with her voice at the upper end. It’s the kind of vocal circus trick Angelina doesn’t have to do. 😂
@@mrpeppery I cannot agree more. this type of music doesnt even call for something like that honestly. 3,5 is fantastic range where it shows it is a well trained, stable and not wearing her off. Good working range. I love how she just chooses to really not bring it in forcefully. It just shows that she would completely agree with the fact that range DO NOT MATTER.
Love your reactions .. I enjoy your explanation about range .. my personal choice of music is the Blues and Jazz ..and angelina voice is great when she sings in that style. ? Would love to hear you her on UA-cam " tearing one up "
Angelina does belt in a few songs, including I Have Nothing (reaching a bit for the 1 or 2 highest notes) and It's a Man's world. Her range that I (and others) have witnessed is 3.5 octaves, from around B2 to around F5. In I Have Nothing she uses a full chest voice, reaching the upper limit, whereas in Unchained Melody (at the very end) she uses a head voice to get to the same approximate range (edit: I just checked and it's G5). It's a Man's World doesn't go quite as high as I have nothing, but the power in her voice is astonishing. Songs like A Million Years Ago show off the lower limits of her range. You may hear 5 octave range from some of her fans. This is confusion caused, I believe, by a reactor noting that she was reaching well into the 5th octave in I Have Nothing. People read that as "5-octave range. I think the most remarkable thing about her range is the ease with which she can sing at the lower end.
Also, I know you didn't mean it in a bad way, but while Angelina definitely was gifted with a beautiful tone, she has developed superb vocal control and learned many techniques through years of hard work. She is a classic case of immense talent + immense dedication in a small child with a supremely malleable brain. As a child (not sure how long) she studied music after school at the Conservatory in Oslo. I sure hope she has a vocal coach to protect her vocal cords but we don't hear anything about that.
You need to check out her amazing new original single, Million Miles, released under her new label Republic Records and produced by the Stargate duo! Thanks for the pro-grade reaction!!!
oh finally I understand why is everyone saying 5 octave range, cause I am a big fan of her, but that was extreme reach since it would be a whistle. I get it now. no no, 3,5 is 100 percent a fantastic range, but as I said range means a little to Angelina (it is a born ability, flexibility of the vocal chords, it can be trained but only to an extent), she would be an amazing singer with her technique anyways. I was coming out of the two songs I heard so far (first one was rhapsody). I cannot wait to hear some more of her! On your remark of vocal coaching, 100 percent. especially if she attended conservatory (idk about northern countries, but I had my vocal coach for years after I left school, she knew me the best, so there is a possibility she trained with her further) She has something I call sophisticated voice (voice that have been educated since the very childhood, usually kids from the age approx 5, which is where I started too) schooled and polished. It really shows. I am super happy she is protecting it with a proper care.
And thank you for being civil and extremely kind about your comment, it is super appreciated while people here are attacking my everything basically (from my title to my singer skills). So I appreciate you taking time, explaining properly and being an overall kind human being.
@@Katriinka aww thank you Katriinka. I’m walking around with a warm glow right now! 😊 There are only a couple reasons why anyone would attack your voice. They are jealous or they have rotten eel innards where their soul should be.
Hi David, been a while. She actually hits a G5 in "It's a mans world" with such ease. In the WH song "I have nothing" some think it's at least a G5 maybe higher for she does back phrasing in that song too.
@@mrpeppery Thank you David, you also truly picked up my mood today a lot
Agree with you. She's blessed with her voice and its beautiful❤️
Absolutely right! :)
I see a lot of talk about range in the comments. With Angelina, I think we have to talk about a different kind of range.... style range. I personally have never heard an artist that has such complete mastery over so many different styles of singing. She can sing old jazz from the 40's or she can sing modern techno pop.... and everything in between. But not only can she sing all those styles... when she does it, she makes it sound so good, and makes it look so effortless that you would think that it is her specialty style. For me "note range" is a dime a dozen.... the range Angelina has is very rare, and priceless.
And I couldn't make a comment to a new reactor, without including this.....
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 14
- 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 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. 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 three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (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.
Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 14 she is just getting started!!!
Imagine how high her IQ must be. Just from the music alone I would say she is a genius.
I think there about Angelina that are extra special. Not only did she notice the young girl with no shoes, but she helped on her own. She decided on a course of action to highlight this issue, and carried it out on her own. We all know she is extraordinary in her craft of singing, but she has a kind, caring, and devoted resolve to help others. How many young people her age can say that.
Hi Katriinka,
you are just some months in the universe of Angelina Jordan - thanks a billion for this lovely and professional reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! I think you know it already:
Since your first song sung by AJ that you listened to you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - not only when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
As you said "...high for her..." in the first part of this song I had to smile - until now you haven't reacted to many videos from her she shows, that she can sing higher than here - her Whitney Houston Tribute of "I Have Nothing" for example (ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html) - but there are many more.
And if you want to compare her songs as a young child with these as an older child you should look for her first "visit" in a recording studio (see link down) and for exaple to her different versions of "fly me to the moon": there are versions where she was 8 till 12:

… here in between NGT and AGT you will find a huge selection of videos with Angelina and each of it will blow your mind.
… her originals:
1. "Million Miles", released on Nov. 6th 2020: ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html
2. "Shield" - several versions:
* live in a TV show ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
* audio from a studio recording ua-cam.com/video/XVtUZWHmY8Y/v-deo.html
* music video by her granma ua-cam.com/video/DJRNtjek9Gs/v-deo.html
3. "Oslo": ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html
4. "What Is Life": ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html -
and songs especially wrote for her:
1. "Song for A": ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html - there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie (the woman in the lyrics) or both of them ;-) )
2. "Above the water": ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my preferred genre ;-)
... here her "mini concert" from AGT the Champions (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...):
"Bohemian Rhapsody": ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html
“Someone You Loved": ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html
Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena).
And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty ...
And a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
wow this is super long and impressive!
I Never thought of Angelina as a Blues / Jazz singer...but You are correct...sha is...♥️♥️♥️
I really really love your critique of this. And the fact that you give EXAMPLES of what your talking about for the layperson or non singers!! Thank you! I have watched every vocal coach on youtube i think and i def like your channel the best!
Very good comments , love your reaction !!
She always brings tears to my eyes when I listen to her sing.
You have a beautiful voice and love your analysis. Angelina also has a beautiful voice and something about it is very captivating. I look forward to more of your reactions to Angelina.
me too! she is a wonderful ball of positive energy
I too, used to believe she couldn't hit high notes, then i heard her do Whitney Houston (I have nothing) and actually hit Eb 5 on a very strong mixed voice. And switched to head voice on E5. So, yes! She is able to go very high, and retain her beautiful tone. I guess she is more concerned with maintaining the range that best suits a particular song, than trying to show off, like so many mediocre singers have a tendency to do.
yes, yes. That is why I wanted to mentioned it. This vide didnt need that, so it was super nice to keep it this way, just maybe I would pick it up a tiny bit so the lower notes wouldnt be so restricting for her. I cannot wait to hear more from her :)
@@Katriinka A lot of people comment very confidently on her pitch range when they really have no idea what they're talking about (I'm not referring to you, p. a.). The bottom line is this: The lowest note we've heard from her is in "How Great Thou Art" ua-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/v-deo.html and her highest notes are more varied, because she sings them differently in different songs. Her highest "pure tone" note is in "Unchained Melody" when she was 9 ua-cam.com/video/wPfMzMeBLbo/v-deo.html and again when she was 11 ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html (same note both times). Her highest belted note is in "I Have Nothing" ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html posted when she 13. And then there's a "screech" she did in "I Put a Spell on You" ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html at 9, which I'm not sure should really "count". On the non-musical side, probably the highest pitch she's produced in any video that is publicly available is a scream she let out on a roller coaster ua-cam.com/video/9T_QdpM90-A/v-deo.html when she was 10. So, there ya go. You can make your own assessment of what her range is. (All of these videos, except the roller coaster one, are well worth reactiing to.)
(BTW, p. a., I believe her highest note in "I Have Nothing" is actually a G5. It's when she sings "Stay in my arms" for the last time. She also sings that note more cleanly than Whitney did in the original studio recording of the song, which is pretty damned impressive, if you ask me. :)
Thanks for that.
Because of her childhood singer interests I would thing she is interested in medium range notes. No Minnie Ripperton or Mariah Carrie show off notes.
@@cliffirddelbridge2810 just imagine her at 25, with fully developed vocal chords and true life experiences, heart breaks and all. It's a blessing to be alive while she's doing her run. This child will be studied for hundreds of years.
Angelina, the vocal diamond
Loved your reaction I hope you will continue with ANGELINA REACTIONS
So interesting to hear your analysis of what she's doing technically that makes her singing so compelling and beautiful. Thank you for a lovely reaction!
thank you so so much :)
Proving yet again why she's No 1 BEST SINGER on the planet. 💯💯💯
I couldn't agree with you more. Angelina is a child prodigy. You don't make up those jazzy, bluesy riffs and beyond-your-years interpretations by practicing, they come directly from the soul. They're built in. She and her voice are such a "natural" event that you don't critique it or question it. Just thank God you're able to listen to it. Credit to you, Katriinka, for recognizing, disseminating, and applauding it. The world we live in today needs more Anglelinas... and you!
❤️ In the softest & most gentle part of her voice, conveys the most powerful & meaningful message ❤️ Thank you for your raw & emotional reaction ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 ❤️ 💚 💙 💜
If you read this, you are one smart cookie. Also I sing jazz and blues live on my streams! Come hang out for community concerts on Sunday!
Reaction rara lida I surrender . From indonesia
Pls react in this video..a different level of song diamond.
ua-cam.com/video/Ky6DpnjxwRQ/v-deo.html
She is 14 at this time. She does not need need to push it too far. But she interprets song better than anyone I have heard for songs she hasn't written. Loved her first song I have heard, Looking forward to her future songs, She is fantastic.
Actually she has a 5 octave range. She hardly ever puts it all in single song unless the song merits it; never to show it off.
She obviously not a bass, so in order to have 5 octaves range she should go to the whistle register. Angelina doesn't do such things and I hope not going to do.
@@IgorS_Isr I only have heard two songs from her, so I didnt want to reply (just to make sure) but this comment is right.
Igor Sukmansky true I guess 5 octave is a little exaggerated. at least she goes low as G3 and mixed voice I think was D5, unchained melody she sang pretty high I guess still in the 6 th. octave, but she might be able to get heigher than that. anyhow that it already quiet impressive and well sufficient. Writing on the wall was also a high headvoice she did and beautiful too( at 9) If you are up to a beatiful soprano, try Laura Bretan. There is a quiet nice cover of Amazing grace and Adagio she did. remarkable. thanx I enjoyed your reaction verbal and nonverbal. Please more of her
@@joergcruel7625 Range in no way, shape or form defines good singer. there are tons with small range and are top world class artists. Vocal range is basically how much can your vocal chords stretch, you born with it (you can practice of course, but think about it as an elastic thread, ou can strech it a bit but eventually it would break) she is wonderful in what she does, actually my praise was much bigger because I gave her credit for what she worked for (technique, minimalistic work on runs,...) and not for what just was given naturally for free. She is wonderful in what she worked for and naturally came with (both amazing)
@@IgorS_Isr She gets as low as as A2-B2 and higher than G5 (Not a whistle reg. either) no one knows exactly how high over a G5 she can do. Well she was doing this when she was 12, so now today at 14 how knows. She does her own thing & controls the music she chooses, sings & writes. Republic records are letting Angie have that freedom & don't want to stand in her way of her God given talent & voice.
For high notes please react to: I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute) from AJ or: It's a mans world.
Here is the link to her Whitney Tribute I have nothing. ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html
I think she was 13 when she performed this.
If you want to have your mind blown you should listen to her cover of the classic
I put a spell on you by Scream Jay Hawkins. The black and white version is the best . Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
She does use her whistle register in it. She did this at 9 and she did all the arrangements for it. Also in the beginning of video she is writing something for the session director which you can see his reaction. She is indicating how she would like the piano player to come in. PLEASE react to both her at 9 and 13. You will enjoy them both.
Her voice is so captivating. We hang on every word and she sculpts every word and note into a song journey and i don’t care where it goes
Very nice review from someone who really can recognize her strengths and weaknesses.
Thank you, Katrinka, for a wonderful Angelina reaction. The other comments here will give you excellent information about Angelina. Let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
I will definitely check more of her, no worries, but trust me Nightwish, philipino, dimash and tons of other fandoms are loyal and supportive a lot. I want to see her cause I am interested, not just because of views and subs :) i genuinely enjoy her :)
They said Elvis had a limited range too. Never the less, he became the king. Angelina sounds like someone that can become a queen. She has another kind of range. Its called magic. :) I got here because of Angelina, but the few notes you sang Katriinka made me want to hear more of you. Love your voice too!
Angelina can belt songs out it’s just that you haven’t heard them yet she always sings everything just how she wants it to sound she can sing anything and she can do very high react to Angelina singing I’m a Fool to want you on Norway’s got talent and then in the studio last year when she was 13 love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🌹👏👍🦶😘XX
Being a vocal coach and also like jazz I think you must go back in time and start listening to Angelina when she was 7 years old. Listen then to some of her over a 100 covers songs and her own songs. Watch how she can perform in different music genres and most of the time it sounds like a new song . Thank you for your reaction. Looking forward for more reactions to Angelina.
I wanted to do a video about her progression, yes :)
The Angel sings songs how she thinks they should be sung, maintaining respect for the original artist
Need to listen to more of her songs. She just turned 14. She has a new song out called million miles. Please listen to more of her. Check out her rehearsal practice for summertime when she is 7 or 8 she at one point gives the musician playing the horn direction how she wants him to play it by mimicking the horn soundand showing him that she wants him to go higher it’s hilarious but she understands music and she knew what she wanted out of the musician you might want to check out just two versions of I put a spell on you by Screaming Jay Hawkins I would check out both versions the black-and-white but then there’s one she’s just a bit older than nine and she really hits these beautiful low notes that are unbelievable more like a baritone.
I enjoyed this review thanks Katrinka. Please do more reviews of Angelina.
I will! :) thank you :)
A lot of people try to pin her voice down to this note or that note for me she has a voice that reaches out and grabs you and makes you feel, that is enough for me so I will listen and enjoy no matter what note she can or cannot hit.
absolutely correct, you are a listener, you need to enjoy the music to fullest, I was making analyses as a vocal professional :)
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Katriinka for this wonderful reaction to Angelina. For me, Angelina's voice has the most beautiful tone I've ever heard in a singer. If you love blues and jazz, Angelina is your girl! I would love to see the video from you comparing Angelina's singing as a child to her singing now.
yes! planning on making one! :)
Please do Angelina shield she wrote it for her mother and grandmother for protecting her from the music business creeps
or her new single that just came out: "Million miles"
I would love 💕 for you to do an analysis of her young voice compared to her present voice. I think that would be awesome. Today I saw a reaction were “Mike Ambitions” was blown away by Angelina’s voice on Million Miles (her new release). He had only heard her on Gloomy Sunday and Fly Me To the Moon at 7 and 8 years old. It was a shocker 😁
I am resisting my best to not run and listen to it now before I make a video haha. I just want to have pure first impression :)
Welcome to the world of Angelina You have not heard a thing and a half about the abilities of this jazz princess. Every offer that people here give you is gold because in every performance you will hear something different, enjoy . . . ❣
Angelina began my UA-cam journey back into music. Via her, I discovered Dianna Ankudinova, Dimash then finally Nightwish and Floor Jansen. I had pretty much stopped listening to music fo years ( decades actually). I didn't NOT listen, I just didn't actively seek it out to listen to. Angelina made me want to listen to music again ( Put a Spell on You). Without her I would never discovered Dianna, nor Floor , so I owe her big time. Now I sit on youtube and fanboy ( OK ...fan old-bloke).
Oh! by the way, your voice is georgeous! Really georgeous. Even distracts me from the abovementioned singers ( Alright, maybe not Floor. Sorry. That woman has a direct connection to my brain via an unknown pathway).
haha thank you so so much. I am so happy she did! Her voice is mesmerizing and she looks like such a cute soul. Also all that you mentioned are awesome artists :)
I'm surprised we didn't meet on that journey. 👍
Angelina brought me here, she is extremely talented and full of surprises! Never seen your channel before and enjoyed the reaction Katrinka. Subscribed. Ah, now I remember your first reaction to Angelina! It's good to see you are sitting more comfortably now - I hope you are well.
I am sadly standing haha. To be able to to film long hours. I appreciate it a lot! Thank you
@@Katriinka I've just very much enjoyed some of your music. You must look after yourself! Considering jazz; have you seen this of Angelina's ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html it's an incredible cover/interpretation of this ua-cam.com/video/MX-DKmIWrJI/v-deo.html Best wishes
@@quantockbeech I will look into it! and thank you so so much :)
Interesting reaction video! Very detailed. Well done!

Hola Katriinka, muy buena reaccion, y mas que reacciones a Angelina, siempre escuche Rock y Heavy y Angelina es como que hizo encontrar ese lado incolcluso que se ve que tenia con la musica y gracias a ella empece a consumis otra musica sin dejar lo anterior, ya tengo 51 años y nadie me hizo sentir tantas emociones hermosas, si cerras los ojos cuando canta te hace ver personas, paisajes, colores y tantas cosas, tambien por su lucha con la desigualdad y los niños a su corta edad, con solo salir descalza al escenario ya nos esta dando un mensaje, es algo increible y muy especial, sin dudas mi numero uno, gracias por la reaccion y por favor reacciona mas a Angelina, me gusta como explicas y aprendemos, saludos desde Argentina...
Angelina Jordan will sell songs because of her ability to "hit the spot" where emotions are concerned. She has an enviable ability to produce what people (even people who didn't think they would) want to listen to. She is the "goose bump queen". Music that stirs your emotions and you will never forget. She will be a legend in singing, she's already half way there. :) Always good to listen to your reaction videos Katriinka. people like you help people like AJ do what they do even better. :) xxx
thank you so much Peter! Much appreciated!
Angelina has a huge gift of talent it is true, but few have put in the work to complete 130 or so covers across 60+ artists and numerous genres by the age of 13. It is that dedication that hones her impeccable sense of timing and variety of vocal techniques that she can employ as desired.
New subscriber from Fresno, California, USA looking forward to your discovery of Angelina's early work on up to today's!
🔥✌🙂💯💕👏👏
I love anything from Angelina Jordan. Thank you for your great reactions.
Angelina's Album she did with the Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces "It's Magic" and her single of "Fly Me to the Moon" still show up from time to time on Itunes Jazz charts!
Angela Jordan Where are unique her voice is fantastic what she does it
I think she’s been touched by an angel because her voice is Divine
How many runs can you put in a road???? Love it. 💜
I know right❤️ she's so beautiful
You need to watch her on Norway’s Got Talent where she won at age 7. You will see that her voice is purely natural.
Analysing Angelina's singing as a child vs as a teenager sounds interesting. I would definitely watch a video like that
Love your analysis & details!! Thanks!
Thank you so so much! :)
You have not yet begun to hear the 5 octave range and 9 unique voices of Angelina Jordan
WWwow am new here and trust me am loving the song and the channel as well
Thanks for your reaction...very informative and sensitive!
thank you so so much Philip! :)
People don't realize that Angelina is only 13 and has a range of voice controls, she started singing when she was 3 years old, not only can she reach then the high notes, but she can get to the lower notes with some simplicity as well, Angelina done her own take on Bohemian Rhapsody but also on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, She's a star in the making
Loved the reaction..I'm a huge fan of hers and Dimash, and put them on the same type of category but for very different reasons. I can't wait for you to continue your Angelina Jordan journey..just wait, she will continue to surprise you.
Keep an eye out for Rusty Shackleford posting on your Angelina Jordan videos as well..he will always provide almost insider-like info on her whenever a reaction of hers is posted!
Key designs and makes all her own clothes and she arranges all her music videos herself she was born with a gift 🥇
Very informative, Katriinka! At the tender age of 14, Angelina has something few singers have...she captivates the listener. Analyzing her techniques of melisma, retraction and phrasing aside, she bewitches you with her voice.
I'm happy to see you recovered from your pain/health issues (since the last Angelina video).
Ha e just heard Angelina sing "I have nothing" of Whitney Houston and she delivered majestically. She is an absolutly stunning singer.
This song doesn’t begin to show the many voices of Angelina Jordan. She can hit very high notes as in Whitney Huston songs she covers!!
She could sing the phone book in any range she wants.
Try her At Last or Cry Me River. She gets the intonation of older days.
She has great high notes for contralto. F#5 with chest voice in I have nothing. And even higher with head voice in Unchanged melody. And low notes somewhere down to C3 in How great thou art.
I will love to check those out! :)
Please, please, please more of Angelina.
Big notes little notes high or low all I hear from Angelina jordan is pure music she does what the song deserves no need for bling bling just the right amount of this and that and a little pinch of magic, love your voice great reaction.
There is a really long video of all her singing from age 7 to 14. It's really good. It really shows how she grew into her voice and her range and maturity even at a young age.
Thank you, someone already linked it :)
I recommend that you listen to more Angelina covers before making up your mind about her or her voice or what she is choosing to do. She is worth it. I appreciate your reaction .. but she's has worked singularly harder than any singer I've every heard of for versatility in her voice and amazing relaxation since she was tiny. I recommend you listen to her singing Gloomy Sunday at seven years old (her first song on Norway's Got Talent) as well as any of her Whitney Houston covers to hear her high voice. You will hear from a lot of Angelina fans, I am sure. Go to her own area on You Tube so you're not a) watching her in a tiny little part of the screen; and b) so you can hear her do a whole song without interruption. If you read about her childhood you will learn that she has worked extremely hard because of her passion for music and jazz (her grandmother loved and loves jazz) and since she was tiny she spent a huge amount of time listening to all the jazz classics and finding her own voice by figuring out how to relax and find how to do it. At five she wanted her mother to get her into Norway's Got Talent but they said their age limit wad seven. The four songs she does for them are available to see and are nothing short of mind- boggling and stunningly beautiful. She has mostly taught herself and found her own way .. with support from a wonderful family. She had always known what she wants it to be and sounds like and had amazing support getting there. And yes, she was and is blessed .. but your statement about "all she had to do is open her mouth and sing just like others who are born gifted" could not be farther from the truth. I imagine you will find this or for yourself if you decide to truly listen to and explore this amazing soul named Angelina.
For me it's not about range, belting, hitting this note or that note - it's about feelings. Does the singer connect with me on some way. Do I like the sound (tone) of their voice and how they deliver the song. Angelina has incredible technical skills and she uses them to deliver what is the most important factor me, and that is the emotions, the feelings, and the soul behind the lyric's meanings. If you want to let yourself get emotionally invested in a performance, Angelina can certainly accommodate you 😁 ...and oh yes, she's a 14 year old. Her future looks very bright indeed.
Jazz definitely can spice up any mood. You can probably check out KZ's collaboration with Jaya as they both sang Nina Simone's Feelin Good. You're gonna love it Katriinka!❤️
thank you! :)
Great Angelina Jordan (born Angelina Jordan Astar on 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian child singer, of Iranian ancestry, whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent at the age of seven, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online, and led to worldwide press coverage.[1][2] She went on to win the competition (at eight) with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
After Jordan's performances of two Billie Holiday songs, "Gloomy Sunday" and "I'm a Fool to Want You", on Norway's Got Talent, as well as "Fly Me to the Moon" on a TV talk show, all went viral online in March 2014, she was featured in Time,[1] Daily Mirror,] People, and other news outlets around the world.[6] She continued in the competition singing Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" live in the semifinals,[7] and won with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime", in the style of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's 1958 recording of the song.
In September 2014, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the US television show The View,[8] bringing her wider fame in the United States. She also performed on several TV 2 programs in Norway over the next few years, including multiple appearances on Allsang på Grensen (Singalong at the Border, referring to the border fortress of Fredriksten where outdoor concerts are held) and on TV4 in Sweden.
Jordan had a small guest role in the final episode of the Netflix series Lilyhammer, playing a girl who sings in a bar.[9]
In December 2014, she realized a personal ambition by performing for Peace Prize recipients Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.[10]
Jordan's recording debut, the three-song maxi-single My Christmas, was released in December 2014.[11] To support the release, Jordan performed the songs on multiple TV shows, including an appearance on Christmas Day.
In 2015, Jordan began recording music that would eventually be collected on the six-song Angelina Jordan - The EP, released on 27 November 2017.[12] Many of the tracks were posted to her official UA-cam channel[13] well in advance of the EP release, in the form of music videos and lyric videos. These included her covers of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You", the music video for which was directed by Per Heimly, and Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black", in which Jordan sang her own original lyrics. These two music videos became the most popular videos on her official UA-cam channel, surpassing 5 million views each by 2020. In 2017, she created a second UA-cam channel specifically to present performances of cover songs.[14]
In November 2015, Jordan published the book Mellom to hjerter (Between Two Hearts), illustrated by her grandmother, Iranian artist Mery Zamani.[15] The book tells the story of her meeting a poor motherless girl in Asia who has no shoes. After a long conversation in which they discuss their dreams in life, she gives the girl her shoes and the girl promises to pray for Jordan to fulfill her dream to become a successful singer. According to Jordan the book is based on a real incident which she cites as the reason for always performing barefoot.[16]
In April 2016, Jordan performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the first season of the noncompetitive children's talent show Little Big Shots.[17] A year later she performed "What a Difference a Day Makes" on the UK version of the show. She also performed "I Put a Spell on You" on the German edition of the show, Little Big Stars, in 2017.
In December 2016, she performed on Alan Walker is Heading Home, a live concert broadcast from Bergen, Norway, where she sang Walker's songs "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded".[18]
On 15 June 2018, a full album of recordings with Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps), called It's Magic, was released.[19] The next day, Jordan and the band performed the full album live in a concert attended by Norway's Prime Minister.
On 27 June 2018, Jordan performed "Fly Me to the Moon" for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London, as part of his 85th birthday celebration, and also joined with other singers to perform "Man in the Mirror" to close the show.[20][21]
In 2019, Jordan performed for former president Barack Obama and other public figures at the Brilliant Minds conference in Stockholm.
In October 2019, she competed in the second season of America's Got Talent: The Champions, which was aired in January and February 2020.[22] Her first appearance on the show, singing an original arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", received a "golden buzzer" from judge Heidi Klum (meaning that Jordan would pass directly into the finals). As with her Norway's Got Talent audition six years earlier, a video of Jordan's performance began to go viral on UA-cam, quickly reaching 10 million views.[23] The performance also garnered praise from Queen's official Twitter account.[24] Shortly afterwards, the video was taken down[23] and Jordan released a studio version of the same arrangement under her own copyright.[25] Jordan's second performance (in the finals), a similarly reworked "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" based largely on a version by Sara Bareilles, was also well received, but she was not among the top 5 acts.
In August 2020, Jordan's manager (her uncle, Michael Astar) announced that she had signed with Republic Records.[3] Her first single on the label, "Million Miles", was released on 6 November 2020, on all major digital platforms.[4] An official lyric video was posted to her official UA-cam channel the same day.[26] The track was produced by the Norwegian duo Stargate, who also co-wrote the song with Jordan.[27] She has since released two additional music videos for the song: one showing her singing the song "live" in a recording studio, the other an "official music video" featuring her younger sister.[28][29]
Personal life Edit
Jordan was born in Oslo, Norway, and has lived for extended periods both there and in Los Angeles. She also lived for a time in the Middle East. She has a younger sister who has been featured in two of her music videos. Her father, Gerry Christian Slattman, is Swedish. Her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar, is the daughter of Iranian artist and poet Mery Zamani and a Japanese father.[31][16]
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training. In addition to singing, she plays the piano, violin, guitar, and flute, and also paints.[32]
As of 2020, she is living and going to school in Los Angeles
As of 2019, Angelina Jordan’s estimatednet worth is $9.4 million .
I think a song like "My Funny Valentine" is well suited to her. I enjoy her singing style with all the little embellishments she uses. She is a talent, that's for sure. I hope you are feeling well lately, stay safe.
yes, her voice is extremely soothing so my funny valentine would be truly awesome! :)
She does this Song, when she was 9y on a Jazz Festival, amazing 🌺💓🌞
Her musicians had Problems to follow her wonderful presantation
@@Katriinka here is Angelina's rendition: ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.htmlsi=nDtgAzhTNeS0dkRK
A competent Expertise, you did IT.
I'm thinking you are going to be amazed at Angelina's range... Hear some of her other performances. Her voice changes like the colors on chameleons.
Excellent technical analysis K.
Just going to add to all my future expressions of appreciation of her hard work and sacrifices, when she started her patreon, she expressed a hope for 2,000 members to help her finance her start into the music business. At now, only 250! Let's help the family out people.
Yes PLEASE do a child/teen comparison video for her! I'm following your channel hoping you will.
Very thanks for your return and the new beautiful and careful reaction to Angelina, Katriinka. I loved this her version of the song, so melancholy and slowed down, with these incredible vocal games that really have changed this old song by Elton John, also if she is started from the version of Sara Bareilles. From the first time I listened to her, with the lights and her yellow / orange dress perfectly in the character, I've seen it dozens of times, but every time I hear her, the emotion assails me again ❤️ ❤️
If you like, see the new first original single released two weeks ago for Republic Records, "Million Miles", it's simply stunning

There are three other beautiful original songs of her and they were written and sung for the first time, between 11 and 12 years of age:
"Shield" ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
"Oslo" ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/MfWVcDQix4Y/v-deo.html
"What is life" ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
it had a beautiful vibe :)

Angelina has many voices and sings many genre’s. When you first listen to Angelina you think of her in terms of that song and you judge her from how she sings it..her voice, range, quality...and you, like you are quite impressed....a few more sings and you will hear different voice qualities, different genre....still great quality...she has the ability to sing just about anything because her voice is so flexible. So saying that her voice is low is correct...in this song...but she can and does sing songs using higher rangers of notes beautifully. It just depends on what it is that she sings. She is a great jazz and blues singer and that is saying something for someone that is only 14 yrs old. I imagine when she gets older....she will be out of this world with jazz and blues. She has a huge variety of music to choose from and honestly her singing is addicting. She somehow can reach in and touch your soul and tug at your heartstrings....she does more memorable songs than I can recall..but one that she took and did her own arrangement..which she always does..and just sat down, with a mic and keyboard while being video’d while she started working out this song. I have heard that she like the way that it turned out right away so she stopped, went out and played with her sister in the backyard.....if you listen to this song you will understand my amazement. She was 12 years old.....and it is impossible to understand how a 12yr old has the comprehension to understand and then recreate their version which turned out so much more heart wrenching and hypnotic.....Wicked Games
ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html. Here is the link if you care to listen......oh and another thing.....she really sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse in some of music. She has even done covers of her music....better than probably anybody else’s.
I think Angelina is the best out there 2020!
Her tone is so warrm and wonderful that my ears just want to hear it. Im not really here for the song but just her voice.
nothing is difficult for this girl! she can sing anything! high or low, she's amazing. check out her other songs.
Great reaction 👍👍🙏🙏💙💙 believe me when it comes to belting she can do it better than any singer out there
I really cannot wait to see her more and discover new sides to her :)
@@Katriinka actually I have seen 2 reaction video to aj by u and I loved your expertise and honesty and I can't wait to see more reaction to aj by u big hug from germany
I am a huge Angelina fan and I belive she has one of the most enjoyable voices around .. others must agree also sense she has one of the largest following fanbases in the world .she brings emotions to songs that other singer bring more belt , more techniques to but does little for the listener... I always enjoy your reactions and when your notification comes on you are one of the first I watch .. 10 thumbs up to you 👍 .. if you like the blues and jazz , check out Joe Bonamassa ,I belive he has more blues album hits than anyone in the world . Agin thanks
thank you so so much! You wrote a goddamn true! :) I wish more of her fanbase subbed to her youtube channel, but at least I left the link in description so they might find her :)
How many people even care about her range? High notes and low notes mean nothing. It is her tone that makes the difference and the fact that she doesn't just sing songs, she immerses herself and the listener in them.
This is a beautiful rendition of a classic song. I love it.Thanks to you I have heard it now. Wishing you a great day Katrinka 🙂
Loved your comments and analysis.
I subscribed for more.
I feel connected to the song when Angelina sings. Wide vocal range means nothing to me if it take away the emotion or feeling that Angelina is conveying.
You need to listen to more of her if you believe she has a limited higher range. She can get up there pretty good and she can belt it out really well too. You haven't heard the depth of her low range either. You mentioned she doesn't seem to try hard and she has to just open her mouth because of her wonderful tone quality. She has a enormous amount of natural talent, but she has been diligently practicing, honing, and perfecting her singing ability for a long long time. She is really phenomenal, but she also worked really hard to get that way.
I have never mentioned her not working hard, or not putting effort into her songs. I praised her for a smart vocal technique usage, good breath control and fantastic runs/ micro work on the pasages. I am not sure if you skipped those parts :) if it comes to range, I only listened to two of her songs so far, so I based that on that, which is why I said I think it might be the case (also smaller range singers are amazing too, there are tons of HUGE jazz and blues singers who were legendary and never got any enormous range) I am thrilled to see her sing some more and discover her whole potential a lot! :)
@@Katriinka Oh, I in no way was trying to convey anything other than that she has a lot of ability, but she also works really hard at it. Nothing more. When she sings, it looks easy but I think a large reason for that is the hard work she has done. There is a lot of practice that went into it. You're going to enjoy listening to her . She has a lot of really nice surprises waiting for you to hear.
Her lowest notes in "Million Years Ago," written by Adele amaze me the most.
appreciate the fact that YOU don't stop the record when you comment
I don’t think you can compare her as an adult yet, because I don’t think she is an adult yet. She was 13 when she was on America’s Got Talent, and she was 13 when she sang the song you just critiqued. She was 7 when she won the Norway title.
Thanks for a technical reactio to AJ. I've followed you gor a while even your pergormance & absolutely loved Jessica rabbit. Untill you hear something you can't really know but certain things can lead you to point in a direction, i suggest you listen to angelina do its a mans world for hi notes. Do note the body language & the conductor when she duels with the clarinet. Ciao
I've said it before. Between her and Diana Ankudinova, I have no tears left.
Angel can do whatever she deems necessary. But you are correct, it is all perfectly natural:
"Born To Sing" as was said in NGT Audition, the first time a judge got to comment.
Angel ina 🙅♂️ is Amzing;
You are such a lovely lady!
Hi ! How is your back doing? Hope you're better ! Another great reaction!! Go Angelina Jordan!!!!!!
Not Only is Angelina 👣 over 5 Octave Singer... She never uses the same Voice twice
Thus the title; "The Angel with Thousand Voices" the Only Genres I have not heard from Her is Rap, Opera and Metal, otherwise Nothing stands in her way.. She has earned the title; "The Queen of Jazz" as it is her favourite Style and her renditions are out of this World. 💫
Many people, Vocal Coaches and laymen alike listen to her first time and think they had figured Out her Voice and range until they hear her Next song and the Next..... and they get confused... 🤗
Angelina Jordan A-star does not Cover songs She Recovers and Revitalizes them.. Welcome to the Magical Wonder World of Angelina 😄👍 I Subbed to Your channel in hope You would take on a Journey with us and I'm Happy You're into Jazz and Blues because then You're certainly in the right place 😊👌 Thanks for Your Wonderful Reaction and Analysis to Our Singing Angel 👼👣🌟😃👍

She also looks like such a sweet and genuine person. But may I ask, she has a whistle register? I have only heard two songs from her so far.
@@Katriinka I haven't heard any whistle tones from her yet more than You heard in Yellow brick road if that counts but with her ability to adapt her Voice to every song she sings I'm sure she could/would rustle up some whistle tones if the Song required that 🙂 but her Versatility is unmatched and the Soul she conveys in every performance is her Signature and is Her Unique Style she calls " Heart to Heart" or "Soul to Soul"
She has over 130 different Songs under her belt from over 80 widely different Artists all of which are famous for their unique vocal abilities like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lois Armstrong, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Frank Sinatra. Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin and on and on and She makes all of them Justice and it's beyond me HOW?? 🤔
Maybe You Could answer that 🤞😊
@@Bjarmarsson she is truly versatile, since training allows you to use various techniques. Professional singers do require to be versatile! :) I am asking because of the 5 octaves would be super high whistle tone which is unlikely? Where did you find the info about 5 octaves? (very few singers can whistle, usually it is almost anomaly). on top of her versatility there shines her unique voice. which is why she genuinely is one in thousands :)
Jöhannes, she doesn’t have a 5 octave range. That was a rumor started when people misunderstood what another reactor (also a professional) said about her range. He heard I Have Nothing for the first time and admitted that previously he thought she had only 1.5 or 2-octave range. He went back and checked the highest note himself and commented that she was actually well into the fifth octave. People in the comments took that to mean that she had a 5-octave range. But her lower limits is in the lower second octave, not A0. Her actual *range* is a little more than 3.5 octaves. To be five octaves she would need to be literally whistling with her voice at the upper end. It’s the kind of vocal circus trick Angelina doesn’t have to do. 😂
@@mrpeppery I cannot agree more. this type of music doesnt even call for something like that honestly. 3,5 is fantastic range where it shows it is a well trained, stable and not wearing her off. Good working range. I love how she just chooses to really not bring it in forcefully. It just shows that she would completely agree with the fact that range DO NOT MATTER.
Love your reactions .. I enjoy your explanation about range .. my personal choice of music is the Blues and Jazz ..and angelina voice is great when she sings in that style. ? Would love to hear you her on UA-cam " tearing one up "
HI Katrinka , Nice to see you back reacting to Angelina , please react to her music ,How is your back doing I hope its all better now , thank you
Hope you smiled all day today
❤️ from TX
I love Elton John's songs since long long time ago ! I Love you too. Brilliant Singer!!! Congratulations!!!!!
