- This Angelina Jordan reaction video is genuinely my first time ever viewing her performances from the Norway's Got Talent show that she appeared on when she was just 7 years old. Totally ridiculous how talented and confident in her performances she was when so young. Quite a treat to have watched all of these performances in the one video. Tip of the cap to you, Angelina Jordan.

11:22 Summary
When I do my reaction videos I don't press pause because I don't want to interrupt the natural flow of the music as it was originally intended by the artist. I try to vocalise my thoughts in real time as I listen to the song, and then summarise my reaction afterwards.

Please do recommend songs or other artists for me to checkout in future by commenting on this video! I'm constantly on the lookout for great new music and things I've never heard before.
A Spotify playlist of songs I've reacted to and consider to be absolute bangers can be found here: open.spotify.com/playlist/26j...
I would bet that in Angelina's head, she is not singing acapella. She is singing along with whatever accompaniment she 'hears'.
We never get tired to listen her.
Angelina took 46% of the votes in a field of 10 finalists.
Welcome to the astonishing Angelina
She started singing when she was a year and a half. English is her 3rd language. She's 17 now and stands over 6'. She's definitely an old soul
Most are not familiar with the songs sung by Billie Holiday. One needs to listen to those to understand how impossibly amazing this is. I have watched these hundreds of times and I still get goose bumps. She had her teeth in the last two. If she was going to show any nerves it would have been on the second one on stage with her competitors breathing down her neck, singing without music. But she was rock solid. You should continue to follow her on the journey through her ages.
Angelina Jordan When You Believe, rise to stardom.
And so a Star was born !!!
She is sooo amazing!
in bang bang i never realized until now the irony of a little girl singing the song of a grown woman singing the song of a young girl.
She was 7 at the initial performance but she was 8 by the time this came around .. you can see her teeth have been coming in.
10 acts and Angelina took 46% of the vote. nuff said
Awesome reaction to the Master of Music, God Bless!
At seventeen years old, Angelina just sang THIS EVENING at the FIFA 2022 awards ceremony in Paris. Her performance was stunning to say the least. She was introduced as “…the upcoming singer - songwriter Angelina Jordan…”
I hope you can track down a copy of her performance to react to. They are probably just showing up right now, as Europe sleeps.
From this day forward Angelina’s life will be a whirlwind and forever changed. ❤️❤️❤️👣
By the time she sang Bang Bang, Angelina had turned 8, but the musical growth over the course of the show was amazing! I can't wait for her album to drop this year. Great reaction, Steve!
She won the contest aged 7
No nerves, just love, of singing, of the stage, of the audience.
“When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 ♥👣
That explains much of the phenomenon we are witnessing.
I& there is a creator Angelina has to be one of his finest pieces of work!
Please dont talk when she is singing .. You must listen my freind., and you are missing a lot................... Great reaction,..Love from Sweden.
a lot more treats ahead.......super reaction.
Still holding out for you At age 10 is terrific
The little lady was born off the charts!
‘A Million Years Ago” at 12yo and while your at it “Born to Die” at 12 at home. I especially like “Stay”. At 9 she does a self arranged version of “I Put a Spell on You”.
Welcome to the Angels world!
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
What you said about the "rasp"....One of the NorwayGT judges (the blond woman) said "She sounds like she's been drinking whiskey since she was born!"
She told them her name and her age, she was 7yrs old in this video.
I have never seen her nervous when singing. Only when making her introduction before her King of Norway.
AND....We (i) have to bear in mind that ENGLISH is Her 2ND Language....Pretty Amazing!!👌👌👌 Her Talented (an Artist) Grandmother played Jazz and Blues from the time Angelina was born....she was singing at 1 1/2 years old...began recording at 3. She's Highly Intelligent and Articulate, as well as Compassionate. Her genetic background is Norwegian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and ( I believe) French !! Obviously got All the right Gene's in there....and Wise parents!! 💖💖💖⚘⚘⚘🥰
Amazing talent
You asked for other artists. The rabbit hole for Angelina is very deep at approximately 200 performances on UA-cam! However, I would also recommend Eva Cassidy. Eva was a folk, Blues, jazz acoustic singer back in the '80s and '90s. Tragically she passed away from cancer in 1996 at the age of only 33. Although she wasn't as well known before her death, she became legendary after, and sold almost 20 million albums. Her version of Over the Rainbow is considered to be one of the finest ever recorded with her own arrangements that are haunting. Eva also recorded Sting's Fields of Gold which is a standard for that song. Interestingly, Angelina Jordan also recorded that song within the past year or two. There is a mashup virtual duet video of the two of them singing together which for me is priceless. I highly recommend a reaction to that after doing over the rainbow.
Great reaction
In the America’s Got Talent Bohemian Rhapsody performance, the act before hers left Simon irritated and angry, and the audience energy was chaotic, discordant.
She stepped onstage and this quietly focused Capricorn girl (age 13) brought the entire audience into a deep pool of serenity in seconds. She has a magical unassuming control over an audience.
The song I most love is “I’m still holding out for you.”
Just for the record, the last two songs were not only perfrormed live, they were _broadcast_ live. The final episode had roughly double the viewership of the previous season, largely because of how popular Angelina had gotten by that time. You might have noticed the very-similar-to-English statement of the host as she announced the winner: "With 46% of the votes…". There were 10 acts in the finals and Angelina got almost _half_ of the votes. She truly _dominated_ the competition. She was 8. The other competitors (in the finals) ranged from 14 to 31, and included singers, dancers, a magician, and a yo-yo trick artist.
Steve I ran across Angelina in the middle of the night 2-3am. I deal with chronic and very persistent pain. So I wake up often at that time because the level has come back to where I cannot sleep through it. So while I wait for the new meds to kick in I run through the internet looking for singers. I was listening to a compilation video of past performances of kids around the world when I saw in my recommendations a little girl dressed in a white princess dress with hair that looked like it was styled by a tornado and half her teeth either coming or going. With a caption like 7 yr. old owns Billie Holiday's 'I'm A Fool'. Well if you knew me I just couldn't pass that one up. Then for the next 2 hrs. and multiple listenings, I decided I had entered another dimension. The reason being this was the second time in three nights I had my grip on reality questioned. As I listened over and over to this performance with my mouth completely open and tears pouring out of my eyes and the beginnings of a mountainous headache I realized I was going crazy. Three nights earlier I heard a 10 year old from Kazakhstan....KAZAKHSTAN!!!!!! She was tiny and thin, so when the first 'stone cold' came out of her mouth with tone of a seasoned professional something happened inside me I can't explain. I burst into tears at a level usually reserved for the worst news you could possibly receive. Only these were tears from some source inside me responding to an input that was buried deep inside my being.
But, this is Angelina's comment. I told that little bit to describe the emotions surrounding this young lady. Technically speaking what Angelina did was far more difficult of the two. To sing a difficult song even with music for an adult is an achievement. This! this was being done by an 8 yr.old child. You have to call in the possibility of perfect pitch at the least. But then you have the delivery, which was flawless. What 8 yr.old does this? Only one, Angelina Jordan.
These two are my 1a and 1a as far as favorites with Daneliya scougging ahead by the barest of margins. That is with the understanding that Morissette is the best female singer on the planet right now. So there you have it, way more than you needed to know about me and these two Super-Stars in waiting, and my place in the universe.
P.S. here is the link to Daneliyas blind audition with 'Stone Cold' by Demi Lovato.
ua-cam.com/video/jGUqIU6u8Ew/v-deo.html Daneliya, at 10, 'Stone Cold'.
Great reaction, thanks Steve. This was the first time I heard this little fairy sing, 10 years ago and I have been fascinated ever since. In all these years I have listened to it thousands of times in hundreds of splendid interpretations and yet every time I see these first performances of hers again at the age of 7 and 8, I am still moved, just like the first time, with the wonderful concentration of humility , simplicity, candor, sympathy and talent of her. 💛🧡❤
Not so little anymore...
Very good words of appreciation!! You said what I feel!!
I am now a subscriber, because I have seen you react to Angelina Jordan videos, and I appreciate your very raw reaction and peaceful manner. Please keep up with Angelina as she progresses into the world!!!
Well intended feedback, Please stop blasphemies, many cannot watch, otherwise. Thanks!
Thank you
She turned eight about half way through the competition.
She gets it, period. and gives it back strong, exclamation point!
No one has described, the Barefoot Angel, Angelina's jazz genre singing style better than her most admired musical idol Billie Holiday, as BH described her own style of music documented in the book “Lady Sings the Blues”:
“Ralph [Cooper] convinced [Frank] Schiffman to come and catch me.
When Schiffman asked Cooper what style I had, Cooper was stumped.
“You never heard singing so slow, so lazy, with such a drawl,” he told him. But he still couldn’t put any label on me.
This, I always figured, was the biggest compliment they could pay me. Before anybody could compare me with other singers, they were comparing other singers with me.
“It ain’t the blues,” was all Cooper could tell him. “I don’t know what it is, but you got to hear her.””
Ralph Cooper: who started Amateur Night at Harlem’s landmark Apollo Theater, launching the careers of such stars as Billie Holiday…
Frank Schiffman: became the first manager of the Apollo Theater. Soon thereafter, he became co-owner, and retained the management position until the early 1960s.
Thanks for the review. Recommend everyone review each one separately at some point and turn on the CC, judge comments are worth it and hearing AJ again definitely is.
Her first performance on Norway’s got talent was actually her audition where she sang “gloomy Sunday” she sang it a cappella and the judges were left speechless. No one said a word they couldn’t even speak…really!
@9:40 she whispers something too far away from the mic to be understood, but it draws us in. What an unusual technique. Used so delicately that it almost goes unnoticed.
She captures Billy Holidays voice and emotion. As a Billy fan I found her first two songs breathtaking.
Absolutamente fantástica! E desde essa idade e até hoje eu me emociono e muito ouvindo-a. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I played the video of Angie’s version of Bang,Bang on NGT for my 19 year old daughter, and she cried. ❤
Angelina listened to blues and jazz with her grandmother from the earliest age and became totally hooked on it. One of the judges actually commented that she sounded as if she'd been drinking whiskey since she was born. :) Another one said that she was an old soul, and that she was born to sing. Another said that she IS music. People sometimes wonder how she copes with such adult themes, and the answer is that she relates them to things she does understand. Anything you listen to of hers is well worth it. Even the practise sessions when you see that she's just a normal young girl, having fun.
7 in the first performance; 8 in the next three. Also, if you're going to comment, please pause the video.
Given she started singing at 1-1/2 she had been singing 5-1/2 years. She won at 8. She was 7 plus when this started.
Angelina's grandmother introduced her to jazz at 3 yrs old ♡
One reactor called Angelina a teenage diva! Loved it!
Steve, you've done 3 reactions to Angelina, and they have all been excellent. However, they have all been to slow-paced song. She is also wonderful with faster songs. A good place to start out would be her cover of Fly Me to the Moon, the rehearsal for concert for Quincey Jones' 85th birthday.
Also, you might wonder why, given her astounding talent, Angelina isn't yet a superstar. Well the reason is that she has gotten lots of offers from the time she won NGT, but she and her family decided to turn most of them down because they wanted her to have a reasonably normal childhood, plus Angelina wanted to write her own songs, but didn't feel she could do it well enough yet. But about three years ago Angelina decided she was ready and moved her family out to L.A., then went on America's Got Talent, and then got a contract with Republic Records, and she has an album coming out pretty soon.
Epic!
Hi Steve, try not being distracted by Angelina Jordan's crooked teeth and wild hair. There are some parts of this performance of "Gloomy Sunday" where Angelina sounds identical to Billie Holiday, the original artist of this song. Her tone and her inflections are spot on. Unheard of for a seven-year-old. Good luck. Cheers!
This little girl from Norway is THE single voice of our generation. Check out her other covers if you don't believe me.
Great reaction Steve She is a talent marvel a prodigy Child.She is for me the best female singer ever She is now 17 Years old and better and better and better singer❤❤❤this Year your new album comes out with Rebublic records your record level that will Fire 🔥She comes from Planet Haven,Soul,Jazz,Heard,Emotions and Peace.Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭 😊
The judge that interviewed her at first a couple of years later when Omer Bhatti was visiting his friends the Jacksons he introduced AJ's singing to Michaels mother.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
She is our barefoot princess and her 1000 voices! Regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Singing is AJ’s home country, her secure safe place. She’s got the reverse of stage fright. She doesn’t ever get nervous while performing. Calm, even keeled, at peace and completely at one with the song.
Just finished watching Angelina perform on the FIFA The Best 2022 Awards show from Paris. As a dedicated Angel, there is so much to say. But I'll limit myself to two comments. (1) Angelina credits her idol Billie Holiday with "discovering" Angelina at a young age. (2) When asked in an interview why she was crying backstage during Gloomy Sunday her mother replied it was because she knew at that moment that she would have to share her daughter with the world.
It's hard to believe that you just discovered her. I've been following her since she was 7!!
Back to watch this reaction again 6 weeks later. I don't think I will ever "get over" how good these performances were. In fact, it's been my experience that the more I've heard them, the more impressive they've gotten. That is not normal…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great third reaction. New sub.
10 finalists and she got 46% of the votes.
You should watch, on your own, these reactions with subtitles. Pretty interesting.
If you like Adele, Angelina has done 7-9 covers of her songs.
She takes Adele's amazing songs to the next level every time.
Life is a mystery and often times things happen to us which take us by surprise. When someone discovers Angelina their life changes for the better. Remarkable? How can you explain it? Just by listening to her sing and feeling something going on within you that you've never felt before. And, from that point on, her love is in your heart and the feelings you get will never diminish. You may ask, "What's going on here? Is she one of a kind?" Yes. Yes, no one like her and I don't think there has ever been anyone like her. There are many wonderful performers at every age entertaining us with their talent. Angelina does, too, but she's at another level. Steve, continue to listen to more of her. All of us will enjoy your reaction to our barefoot princess.
I have heard her Norway performances over 100 times and I still watch in sheer disbelief.
Old soul.
Jazz was due toGrandma Merry who lived with Angeilina from whenSh was very young and got her hooked on Jazz.Frances from Scotlandxx
Hi, thank you for your really wonderful reaction. If you want to know the reaction of the judges, watch her renditions with the Engl. Subtitles. It is really worth to do so. These judges are between gobsmacked, close to tears, believing in reincarnation and more.
❤ Thanks Steve for the collection of Angelina's performances. And, for no voice-over during the performances themselves. It seems to me Angelina is indeed born to sing. She has the nasal structure necessary to produce the range of.voice she does and will, I hope continue to LOVE bringing her talent to her audience, the world. But I still hope she doesn't find herself tied into a beautiful prison of greed and exploitation. She is a whole person, and very young, vulnerable who may well find herself wishing to explore other interests and veer in other directions. 😊 We must let her steer her sail.
Please listen to Angelina live in "allsang pa gransen" in Norway. When she sing "Im nothing" 🙏
One of the best voices of the century, and I have to listen to YOU comment on her teeth??? You're in the wrong business buddy!
Note: this was originally posted back in January 2022 (or thereabaouts) on a different channel that had the same name as this one. That explains the comments at the beginning of the video.🙂
My favorite performance of her's is her singing What a Difference a Day Makes. She obviously listened to Sarah Vaughn's rendition numerous times.
Steve, as I met highly gifted children, I am pretty sure, that she is highly gifted too. Her mind is at least 30 to 40 years older than her body. One moment, you talk to a child, the next moment you speak with a 48 yo university professor. No Joke.
“Bloody Hell” is so right! Hi!! Loved the reaction as always. :)
The reason's are: #1 proper respect for the artist you are commenting on. #2
Fun reaction... The Child who just dives into the song, throwing any caution to the wind.. and landed perfectly.... Free with her ornament choices, with a very obedient set of pipes that produce EXACTLY what she asks of it. DY-NO-MITE, FI-YAH🔥👏🏻🔥🔥👏🏻🔥🎙️🎹🎼🎶🎵🎤
I think the best way to watch and truly appreciate Angelina’s gift is watching from her younger years all the way through now.
I seriously can’t wait to see you react to a more recent performance… specifically Mount Everest from July 2022. 😦🔥
Subbed for the Angelina content! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for picking a less regular word to describe Angelina, crazy. We here “insane” a lot and fantastic, beautiful, but WOW & HOW seem to be the most uttered.
Thanks for doing all 4 videos, but there are subtitles on the individual ones.
Angelina got 48% of the votes against the other 9 singers/groups
Listen to her video when she sing... Elvis Presley🙏
Another one from when she's young (the only other one I think you need to see) is "Feeling Good" live when she was 10. I say this because saw you reacted to "I Put A Spell On You" already. Going to watch that one with you next ;)
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🇨🇦
You say something at 8:30. She still lets her teeth grow. This becomes very interesting because there are controversy about the data of the creation of a few of somewhat earlier videos by Angelina.
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
All four performances are so good and baffling. Yes she is not nervous on stage: in an interview Angelina said she enters a happy place when performing and gets energy from the audience. The a capella one is indeed very impressive: it has been put to music and she remains on pitch and tempo throughout. It is so easy to go up or down a little over a longer period of time or to speed up or slow down. The word I came up with is that she has a phonographic memory as if the original recording plays in her head when she is singing. Thanks and keep it up!
Did you see the cheering signs for Angelina? They had a picture of Louis Armstrong. The version of Summertime that Angelina sang also seamed to be a cover of Ella Fitzgeralds and Louis Armstrong's version (but mainly the Ella Fitzgerald's part of the singing, one time you could weakly hear Angelina mouthing the Louis Armstrong part): ua-cam.com/video/h3kQt14_5OQ/v-deo.html
Mom said give them jaz
all songs with music is her band
Steve, you need to review Angelina Jordan when she was six years old. UA-cam has her singing “I who have nothing”. they indicated this is the first time she was singing in a studio
It's nice when a fenomenal artist reaches a pondered reaction. I love Angelina's performances and I never get tired of watching them. That's why I came here at first. But the quality of your reactions is what keeps me coming back. Thank you for sharing that.
Still looking forward to your reactions to her original songs, "Million Miles" and "Seventh Heaven" 😁 And I'm confident you'll also enjoy her cover to "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" at the same AGT season as "Bohemian Rhapsody". Wow... There's so much of her to be seen. Can't wait!
Awesome reaction! Just subbed
She's channeling Billie Holiday on Gloomy Sunday and I'm A Fool. Nancy Sinatra on Bang Bang. And Ella Fitzgerald on Summertime.
Most of it is note for note.
Last night 17yrs old singing at fifa football awards.unbelievable!.you never mention English is her 3rd language.
Good, appreciative reaction. Good choice to do all four of her performances on NGT.
🥰
Great stuff, Steve! You should continue following her progress and watch how quickly she improves. Her next live performance was What a Difference a Day Makes by Dinah Washington, at age 8, and shortly after that, Fly Me To The Moon on The View.
2 of my favorites of her early ones! Next favorites - about age 12- “Stay” ( Rihanna) and “ A Million Years Ago “ ( Adele
) - not to be missed!!!
Summertime in essence is a quintessential blues. And how many 7 year olds can even spell blues much less sing them with such feeling like Angelina does here. WTF?
This performance was her first live performance for Norway's Got Talent. I remember seeing an even earlier vocal competition, probably a local television studio, where she brought one of the television crew to tears. The 2nd video is the pre-audition selection for NGT. The same judges are hearing her for the very first time. Every kid on stage and every judge that heard her that day, already had an idea that this little girl was going to be extraordinary. So funny watching the judges trying to act surprised as if this was the first time had heard her sing.
