I haven't laughed so much watching a reaction to Angelina Jordan's version of "Spell" she just put on you! Angelina is a Norwegian Jazz singer who has started singing at 1-1/2 yrs old, thanks to her Grandmother who loves all the old Jazz singers from back in the day. Angelina is a child prodigy who arranges the lyrics to all covers to match her voice temple and style of singing. You need to go back to the year 2014 "Norway got Talent" contest, she was 7 yrs old singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billy Holiday! Welcome to the Angelina Jordan world of unbelievable music from our barefoot Angel. Great, Great Reaction!
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
After putting off watching Angelina for ages due to her age (I kept thinking she's just a kid, how good can she be) I finally watched her singing this song. I was emotionally overwhelmed, at the end of the song I had a epiphany that I think I may just be watching the birth of one of the most soulful singers of our time. I adore this young lady and the class she is bringing back to the music industry with her music🥰🥰
Ugh I did the same. Kid singers, while I can appreciate their talent and ability to execute amazing songs and feats, I cannot listen to them. And 95% make my head hurt, as I'm already suffering from chronic daily migraines and sensitive hearing. I put it of so long. And I happened to be watching a reactor that reacted to beatboxing of all things and was distracted by work so youtube went to their next song in line and I had to stop everything to see who in the world was singing bohemian rhapsody, my number 1 fav song of all time, in a way I could have never imagined. I was hooked, and kick myself daily for not listening sooner. Her voice is so soothing, yet emotionally stirring. Soothing to my ears and sensitive head, stirring to my heart and soul.
Nine years old in this one. Child prodigy who won Norway’s Got Talent at age 8. She is now 16 and signed with Republic Records at age 14. She’s amazing and phenomenal and incredible, etc, etc.!!! 😄🔥👍
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 150 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 16 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance. Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 16, she is a seasoned performer with 10 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norah Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

A seasoned veteran here at age 9, she won Norway's Got Talent with 4 songs at ages 7-8, she had a number of mind blowers at age 8,10, but watch her at age 12, with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps singing "It's A Man's World"!!
Angelina is 9 here and she sings in English! That's her third of 5 language. You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina READ, WRITE and SING English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways.
Ain’t seen nothing yet man. She was 9 when she recorded this one, that’s her beast mode but she can sing any genre. She’s now 16 and she’s the best vocalist on the planet. There is a lot lot more to listen to.
Ray, Ray, Ray This girl is something special! So glad you are reacting to her. She will forever jaw drop you bro. Have fun down this amazing rabbit hole!
@@vibereacts05 Jay... Look at "I'm Still Holding Out For You" More Mind Blowing Also look for this too!!! Feeling Good - Live The one where she is indoors with Orchestra... OMG!!! Massive Shocking Amazing Performance... Thank U... Her Ducks are in a Row... Front and Center!!! Wow!!!
Great reaction my friend but you have only just scratched the surface.trust me when I say she will continue to blow your mind but in many different ways. I love all her work but just to show another side of her I suggest goodbye yellow brick road from agt.enjoy which ever path you choose coz you will find nothing but awesomeness down the Angelina rabbit hole.love from Scotland.
I never get tired of watching folks react to this particular A.J.video. I myself never get tired of seeing it (hundreds of times...lol). Welcome to the world of Angelina! She's 16 now and oh boy, she has over 100 songs including her own. What makes her special is not just the most incredible voice in generations, but she arranges her own performances, including this one...at just 9 years old. She's a prodigy and a genius!
64 comments already, so you've undoubtedly already gotten her entire 164 song repertoire. But yep, welcome to the Angel club.......you won't be able to get enough of her.
You have no idea what you have done by reacting to this video. Discovering Angelina Jordan is literally a life changing experience. Once you go down this rabbit hole you will never be the same again. She has a catalogue of approximately 160 cover and original songs. You will never grow tired of listening to her sing because just when you think she couldn’t get any better she will shock you with the next performance. There is no youn female vocalist that has Angelina’s lower register. Angelina is the barefoot princes in addition to being the current reigning queen of jazz.
I’m older than you and have followed music all my life. Angelina, 9 years old here, is now 16. Very simply, Angelina is the best singer I’ve ever heard. She kills songs in jazz, blues, ballads, r&b, and other genres. And she will startle you, even after this one, with the incredible soul she gives us. It doesn’t matter what you pick-just start listening. But if you want to hear what she can do in completely different styles, try her cover of Michael’s “Billie Jean” or her amazing version of Etta James’s “I’d Rather Go Blind. “ Or her live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody might be the best music video I’ve ever seen. Your life has changed today.
After listening to this, then a whole bunch of her others, then listening to this for the 4th and 5th time, I am convinced this is her best recording that I have listened to. Although there are many close seconds. Bohemian Rhapsody, Back in Black, shield, the first time ever I saw your face, and a few others I can't remember the name of. Hoping she will do feeling good again, it is beautiful, but I'm sure she can do it even better.
new sub here my fellow reactor... Angelina Jordan is so addictive... hehe she is one of a kind.. proud to be one the the Angels.... more power.. we got the same reaction wen i first reacted to her
Ok. Check out how Angelina Jorson does Billie Holiday. "I'm a Fool to Want You" or the song she won Norway's Got Talent "Gloomy Sunday". Or - her version of "Stay" by Rihanna. She is amazing. There is nothing she can't sing, make her own and usually better than the original artist. Oh, you should hear her sing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" for sure! Also, "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. Do check them out!
👍nicely done👍 Angelina Jordan is 16yrs old now that can sing any genre but Jazz/blues is her love,, signed by Republic Records as their Highest Priority Artist at 14yrs old,, she has over 160+ covers,, 2 that were written just for her,, one of those was by a well known Russian Poet,, 5 original's and a leaked Demo form another singer,, Family won't let her start her career until she graduates from school and Republic Records agreed and still signed her cuz they know what's coming down the road with this MASTERPIECE,, 👣🌬🌎
Angelina was nine years and two months old in this performance. You are watching the most uniquely gifted and talented young child in the world. She is a bona fide musical genius. She has been creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was eight years old. She is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She wrote four songs and recorded them by the time she was twelve years old. She speaks five languages and plays four instruments. She signed with Republic records in November of 2020. She turned sixteen years old on January 10, 2022.
Yes, the answer is yes, because "She is" . By the way, how many unforgettable performances are out there? She has many! No one ever has so many mind blowing performances and that's just a gran of sand on her beach of talent and hard work! So "Next Level Event" Has arrived.
Someone summit it up ike that: "Angelina is a great All Time Jazz Singer at the age of 8 with 45 years of experience of life, Must be reincarnation." Itotally agree
Angelina Jordan Astar, born January 10, 2006, Oslo, Norway, here singing Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 song at age 9 years 2 months in March 2015. The candle she is holding at the beginning of the video shows Jay Hawkins' picture as a tribute to him. This was released publicly a year later. Singing AND reading English lyrics, her THIRD language after Norwegian & Farsi! Auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at age 7 with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday," following in the competition with "I'm a Fool to Want You," Nancy Sinatra's "Bang, Bang," and WINNING the competition at age 8 with Gershwin's "Summertime"! HOWEVER, even before then, at age SIX, you can watch her singing in her music school's sound room such songs as "Rolling in the Deep," "Hurt," and "I Who Have Nothing"! There is a short clip of her attempting to sing "I Will Always Love You" at age 18 MONTHS. Yep, not a misprint! 18 months! Child prodigy if ever was one. She is incredibly humble, a true empath, and generous humanitarian, raising over 20 million euros for various charities (especially children's). There is an incredibly touching story behind why she NEVER wears shoes when performing, which I'm sure someone else will share with you. She even wrote a book about it at age 9, making her the youngest published author in Norwegian history! She is now 16 years old and her latest UA-cam release on Valentine's Day is a cover of the 1937 song "My Funny Valentine" which will blow you away! ANGELINA JORDAN -- In this one, the music is strong! Welcome to the rabbit hole ...... uh, make that instead, the black hole of no return!
Mr. Vibe. You have no idea what you are about to experience. Angelina Jordan is the new standard for greatness. Angelina has covered songs by some of the best artists such as Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Elle Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday , and Freddie Mercury to name a few. She just turned 16 years old and what she has done already is mind blowing. All I can say is get ready for Angelina Jordan. ( If that is even possible).
I couldn't have said it better. And in response to your statement in parenthesis at the end, just when you think, "OK, I'm ready for the next one." She'll prove you wrong again and surprise you yet again.
Welcome to The Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole, your in for one heck of a ride. She will take you on a journey like no others. She has over 140 covers all rearranged by her and 5 originals, that bring music to another level. Her 1st video recording was live in a studio, covering "I Who Have Nothing" sung by Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones, she is 6, in 1 take. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8, but was a 7 year old entrant, God Bless!
her first time in a recording studio she was 6 years old. she recorded a song called "I Who Have Nothing" from the 60.s and she tears it up. then from there we see her on Norways Got Talent, her first audition at 7 years old with Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday, then she goes on from there to win the whole show. Angelina is now 16 years old. she is just as amazing now as ever. you have just been introduced to Angelina Jordan. her fans are called Angelinas Angels and you are starting out on what we call the trip down the Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole. if you want to start from the beginning look up her studio version of "I Who Have Nothing". if you want something more recent, look up her covers of Michael Jackson songs, "Heal the World" and "Billie Jean". so so many to choose from. her original song she wrote, "7th Heaven" at 14 years old,and one to break your heart another song she wrote about the death of her grandfather, "Million Miles", (live in studio) black and white video, also at 14 years old. the latest 2 would be her cover of Adeles song "Easy On Me", at 15 years old, and oh my god, she does it better than Adele, and one of the very latest ones she does is "My Funny Valentine", at 16 years old . go for it man. nothing bad in any of these videos, just follow my directions, her million miles song has 3 videos, but the one i mentioned is the best one.
Thank you for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
To describe Angelina Jordan's performances you absolutely nailed it with "you are in for the ride of your life" because you are so so right. A year ago I watched her perform I put a spell on you. I was stunned but when I learned that was too her arrangement well ... I'm completely taken by her.
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole. Great starting point is watching all performances of Norway’s Got Talent. Began at age 7, ended with her win at age 8yrs. From there take any direction on her road to the ripe old age of 16. She can sing it all. You will continue to be amazed. Loved your reaction, and, thus since you mentioned you’ll be playing more Angelina, I’ve just subscribed. Thank You!
I can see Angelina is still casting her spell , the spell landed on me a couple of months ago and i haven't been able to stop listening. Great reaction. 😊🌏
new subscribed for more Angelina here - guess you will be filled in by other Angels (the name she gives her Fans) on her so i only add that After she won Norways got Talent at the age of 8 a lot of big companies including Disney have showing up with big money boxes to get her under contract - all got turned down by her family to give her the best possible childhood and education and protect her until she graduates school and is ready for the Music Industrie - also we Angels are very protective of her and as many are somewhat older already adopted her as grandchild - because of the pandemic she had to skip concerts but this year in July she will be in Norway for at lest 3 Concerts July 1, 7 and 10 near Oslo - greetings from Germany
Welcome to the Rabbit hole. I hope you realise once you jump in there is no coming out. She is just the most beautiful and soulful human being. We are so very blessed to have her. She has around 140 covers and 5 or 6 of her own amazing songs. It really doesn’t matter which one you pick, she’s going to blow you away. Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing, Million Miles (her own) Seventh Heaven (her own) Summertime from Norway’s got talent Gloomy Sunday Norway’s got Talent. You better put a life jacket on because your about to encounter a flood. A flood of Angels 😇 Enjoy the journey.
Haha… I love watching someone experience this performance for the first time. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. You have a fantastic journey ahead of you. Next, you should check out her performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent at age 13 ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html Or What a Difference a Day Makes at age 8. ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html You really can’t go wrong with this girl. Look forward to your next reaction. Thanks.
As someone said before... The only thing bigger than her music is her heart. How is it possible? I have come to the conclusion "Because it is Angelina"
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan - AKA - The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and The Angel of 1,000 voices! she is 9 years old at the time of this performance ( she turned 16 on 1/10/2022 ). This is HER ARRANGEMENT of the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins whose face was on the candle at the beginning of the video. The notes that you saw the music director looking over were Angelina's instructions to the band on how to play her arrangement!! The band affectionately nicknamed her " The Boss ".
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (140+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted! Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I put A Spell on You" ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html
She's incredible, right? I bet you'd also like I'm Still Holding Out For You and her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody from America's Got Talent: The Champions when she was on back in 2020. Great reaction, very similar to my own! If you got more Angelina, I'ma subscribe.
Her grandmother listened to Jazz all the time not knowing that at the age of 1 1/2 years Angelina was listening, enjoying and learning all the nuances of Jazz.
Great Great reaction. New subscriber that only watches Angelina. The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time. Queen of Jazz and Blues. 9 years old and does her own arrangements. 16 on 1/10/22 I say start early. Her 4 songs in 1 reaction, in order with CC, on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 & 8. You can see her progression and it is only about 10 minutes. She also did 4 songs at 6 yo. Best are Rolling in the Deep and I Who Have Nothing. She has around 160 covers and originals. When she does covers it ruins the original for me. She covers 4 or 5 amazing Adele songs and takes them to the next level.
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. And now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from The Hating Game. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
I've seen a reaction by a charming vocal coach that dissected this performance, even down to the crumpled notes Angelina is reading from and the pen keeps waving: Angelina, at the ripe old age of 9 years and 2 months, arranged this performance herself in honor of Screaming Jay Hawkins (the original artist), and did it well! We can see that the excellent musicians accompanying her are really enjoying themselves, as is the music director (briefly seen in the beginning of the video, smiling at the latest changes of Angelina's "wishes" as she calls her arrangements). Apparently she was a determined young lady with firm opinions but a charming way of getting them across. The band (and musical director) fondly called her "The Boss". Whatever her age, her musical maturity and vocal ability is off the charts, plain and simple
Angelina was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway (16 years old today). She started singing at the age of one year and a half and has been arranging her cover songs since she was 6 or 7 years old. She started with jazz!! She won “Norway Got Talent” at the age of 8!! There are more than 150 cover songs of all genres and singers. Now she also has her own songs. There are cover from Queen, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Lana Del Rey, ELVIS, Michael Jackson, Billie Holyday, Elton John, Etta James, Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra,.... She is called "The Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". She is able to adapt her voice to her arrangements of the songs. Why Angelina always sings barefoot: At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need. - Bohemian Rhapsody 13 years old - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html - Queen cover - I’d rather go blind 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/v-deo.html - Angelina on a sofa with a microphone See her lower and higher range: - How great thou art 13 years old - ua-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/v-deo.html - well known by Elvis - I have nothing 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html - Whitney Houston cover Her original songs: - What is Life 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html - Shield 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/v-deo.html - Oslo 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html - Million Miles 14 years old - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - She wrote it for her grandfather, who died in 2019. - 7th Heaven 15 years old - ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany
Then yiu want to hear her debut on Norway's Got Talent with English subtitles. She sings Billy Holiday Gloomy Sunday, Bang Bang Nacu Sinatr, and Summertime Ella Fitzgerald! And don't even miss her cover of, It's a Man's World! She was 7 then won at 8. Also her leaked cover of Baby Fuz song, Still Holding Out for You at 10 yrs.
Welcome to the music world of Angelina, the Barefoot Angel, at 9 years old performing the icon song by Screamin Jay Hawkins (RIP). Angelina signed a contract with Republic Records on 2020 at 14 years old, and she celebrated her 16th birthday on Jan 10, 2022. She has more than 160 cover, rehearsal, and original videos on YT, IG, TikTok, and Republic Records website. Most of her cover songs are iconic songs of the legends of music world. Her two YT channels are: "Angelina Jordan Official Channel" "Angelina Jordan Cover Channel" She deserves subscriptions to her channels as a token of appreciation for her hard work for creating raw pure music for her fans.
Elle a 9 ans là vous n'avez rien vu à 7 ans elle chante et met une claque au Jury de Norway's Got Talent en chantant Gloomy Sunday de Billie Holliday et elle remporte le concours 👍❤❤❤❤
Another spell is cast 😉 btw way I now need to add spitting to the growing list of physical reactions to this extraordinary performance 😂..edit..6 months later..you should react to your first time listening to AJ ))
If the extraordinary talent itself doesn’t already water your eyes, her low, beautiful timber will. Even without belting, she will still be one the most powerful voices ever.
Cool! Angelina made it into the "Vibe Fam" before you got halfway through the first reaction! And she did it at 9 years of age! Great first Angelina reaction -- but you better make a LOT of room in your schedule for her (she NEVER disappoints!). If you like Queen, watch her America's Got Talent performance of Bohemian Rhapsody and her cover of The Show Must Go On. If you like Adele, Angelina covers are all better than the originals. However, I love her classic jazz: Every Time We Say Goodbye (Ella) or At Last (Etta). Best is if you just pick every song that appeals to you from Rusty Shackleford's (164-song) playlist: ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
She's put her spell on you, just like us. We're hers now. And enjoying every minute. So many great songs to review. She has us all spitting, coughing, choking, laughing, crying, and trying to think of a singer in our life time that's as good at any age, much less as a child.
As much as us AJ lunatics :) would love more a lot faster, her pace seems to be just right for her and her family. She has everything she needs and will never want for anything material the rest of her life. Her family has been making wise choices and I'm very glad they are. Keeping Angelina in a healthy, happy & safe environment for growth is vital to making sure she provides us the intoxication :) we need for years to come. She makes me feel happy for her.
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five songs: ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ua-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/v-deo.html] [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: ua-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/v-deo.html] ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html) ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: ua-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/v-deo.html) ---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html]
Angelina, literally "little angel", put on her dark wings here. Even for her, this is a unique performance but it show cases her jazz, blues and soul style. She is singing here a year after winning Norway's Got Talent at age 8 with a stunning performance of Gershwin's "Summertime", a must see performance. At age 16, she just did "My Funny Valentine", a performance sure to rank among the top jazz performances ever done. Glad you had a chance to react to and enjoy the "bare foot princess".
Thank you for providing links to Angelina's official Channel and original video. It helps to encourage your viewers to like comment and subscribe to those links just as you do for yours. Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals. m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and promised she would never again wear shoes while performing until all children of the world had shoes! At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you would not want to escape. Peace.
I am an instant subscriber because I know you are in for the long haul, 🙂Yes, Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old in this performance. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and she based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The video has received 9,559,247 views and 8,121 Comments. Things worthy of note in this video are (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The occasions where Angelina gave silent instructions to the band (e) How she rose on to her toes the last time she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The instant transformation for "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I remark on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. You have seen in the comments that Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The chameleon of Song" for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the colour of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners
You have to see the song that got her the most publicity, her version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” from Americas Got Talent the Champions 2020, then check out “I’d Rather Go Blind,” then her original “Million Miles” (live in studio version). After that you have over 160 songs to go through at every age from 6 to 16, without a bad one in the bunch!
This girl is awesome. Man really who can do that at that age....
Crazy thing; this song was written in 1956, but she's singing like it's 1936.
I am sorry to have to tell you this. Angelina doesn't need to chill man, she is the CHILL
She is star ⭐⭐⭐ namber one
What a difference a day makes, and summertime, at 8yo.
Its 8/26/23 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen.🤯
I haven't laughed so much watching a reaction to Angelina Jordan's version of "Spell" she just put on you! Angelina is a Norwegian Jazz singer who has started singing at 1-1/2 yrs old, thanks to her Grandmother who loves all the old Jazz singers from back in the day. Angelina is a child prodigy who arranges the lyrics to all covers to match her voice temple and style of singing. You need to go back to the year 2014 "Norway got Talent" contest, she was 7 yrs old singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billy Holiday! Welcome to the Angelina Jordan world of unbelievable music from our barefoot Angel. Great, Great Reaction!
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
After putting off watching Angelina for ages due to her age (I kept thinking she's just a kid, how good can she be) I finally watched her singing this song. I was emotionally overwhelmed, at the end of the song I had a epiphany that I think I may just be watching the birth of one of the most soulful singers of our time. I adore this young lady and the class she is bringing back to the music industry with her music🥰🥰
Well said. 😎
Ugh I did the same. Kid singers, while I can appreciate their talent and ability to execute amazing songs and feats, I cannot listen to them. And 95% make my head hurt, as I'm already suffering from chronic daily migraines and sensitive hearing. I put it of so long. And I happened to be watching a reactor that reacted to beatboxing of all things and was distracted by work so youtube went to their next song in line and I had to stop everything to see who in the world was singing bohemian rhapsody, my number 1 fav song of all time, in a way I could have never imagined. I was hooked, and kick myself daily for not listening sooner. Her voice is so soothing, yet emotionally stirring. Soothing to my ears and sensitive head, stirring to my heart and soul.
While more I heard her I love it more.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Xrho.
I love peoples reactions to this video!
"👀 She's got the Benjamin Button desease"😂😂😂 I loved it.
🤣🤣
Nine years old in this one. Child prodigy who won Norway’s Got Talent at age 8. She is now 16 and signed with Republic Records at age 14. She’s amazing and phenomenal and incredible, etc, etc.!!! 😄🔥👍
Norway´s Got Talent at 7 not 8 yo.
She turned 8 during the competition and was 8 when she won, 7 when she started.
She turned 8 during NGT but she won it at 7 during the audition lol
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 150 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 16 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 16, she is a seasoned performer with 10 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norah Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more.
Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

Did you mean “Norah” Jones, Phil? 😉
@@mrstlu4838 Yep. Typo/autocorrect. She did a concert with Norah Jones in South Korea where I think she opened with a couple of songs.
A seasoned veteran here at age 9, she won Norway's Got Talent with 4 songs at ages 7-8, she had a number of mind blowers at age 8,10, but watch her at age 12, with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps singing "It's A Man's World"!!
A barefoot princess a queen of jazz and blues love your reaction thanks vibes
Angelina is 9 here and she sings in English! That's her third of 5 language. You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina READ, WRITE and SING English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways.
Ain’t seen nothing yet man. She was 9 when she recorded this one, that’s her beast mode but she can sing any genre. She’s now 16 and she’s the best vocalist on the planet. There is a lot lot more to listen to.
Ray, Ray, Ray
This girl is something special! So glad you are reacting to her. She will forever jaw drop you bro. Have fun down this amazing rabbit hole!
I canit wait brother
@@vibereacts05 Jay... Look at "I'm Still Holding Out For You" More Mind Blowing Also look for this too!!! Feeling Good - Live The one where she is indoors with Orchestra... OMG!!! Massive Shocking Amazing Performance... Thank U... Her Ducks are in a Row... Front and Center!!! Wow!!!
@@vibereacts05 please check her "Gloomy sunday"
🤣First time I heard this I was expecting a cute little girl voice...I wasn't ready
If I walked in on my kid doing that, it's a toss-up whether I'd call a record producer or a priest.
I told my husband the same thing!
Great reaction my friend but you have only just scratched the surface.trust me when I say she will continue to blow your mind but in many different ways. I love all her work but just to show another side of her I suggest goodbye yellow brick road from agt.enjoy which ever path you choose coz you will find nothing but awesomeness down the Angelina rabbit hole.love from Scotland.
I never get tired of watching folks react to this particular A.J.video. I myself never get tired of seeing it (hundreds of times...lol). Welcome to the world of Angelina! She's 16 now and oh boy, she has over 100 songs including her own. What makes her special is not just the most incredible voice in generations, but she arranges her own performances, including this one...at just 9 years old. She's a prodigy and a genius!
You forgot to mention an extraordinarily beautiful human being with a heart brimming with compassion for humanity.
Angelina is not the fire but the nuclear fusion between the soul the heart and the class.
Fantastic Thinking!!! Like Roses Blooming forever!!! Thank U / Fellow Angel Fan!!! DD.
64 comments already, so you've undoubtedly already gotten her entire 164 song repertoire. But yep, welcome to the Angel club.......you won't be able to get enough of her.
Angelina Jordan is the greatest singer of our time.
You have no idea what you have done by reacting to this video. Discovering Angelina Jordan is literally a life changing experience. Once you go down this rabbit hole you will never be the same again.
She has a catalogue of approximately 160 cover and original songs. You will never grow tired of listening to her sing because just when you think she couldn’t get any better she will shock you with the next performance. There is no youn female vocalist that has Angelina’s lower register. Angelina is the barefoot princes in addition to being the current reigning queen of jazz.
I’m older than you and have followed music all my life. Angelina, 9 years old here, is now 16. Very simply, Angelina is the best singer I’ve ever heard. She kills songs in jazz, blues, ballads, r&b, and other genres. And she will startle you, even after this one, with the incredible soul she gives us. It doesn’t matter what you pick-just start listening. But if you want to hear what she can do in completely different styles, try her cover of Michael’s “Billie Jean” or her amazing version of Etta James’s “I’d Rather Go Blind. “ Or her live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody might be the best music video I’ve ever seen. Your life has changed today.
TRUTH!
After listening to this, then a whole bunch of her others, then listening to this for the 4th and 5th time, I am convinced this is her best recording that I have listened to. Although there are many close seconds. Bohemian Rhapsody, Back in Black, shield, the first time ever I saw your face, and a few others I can't remember the name of. Hoping she will do feeling good again, it is beautiful, but I'm sure she can do it even better.
new sub here my fellow reactor... Angelina Jordan is so addictive... hehe she is one of a kind.. proud to be one the the Angels.... more power.. we got the same reaction wen i first reacted to her
she IS a phenomenon.....
And you've got the addiction that will surely make you a better, happier, healthier human.....
Welcome to the rabbit hole, you can check out but you can never leave!
Ok. Check out how Angelina Jorson does Billie Holiday. "I'm a Fool to Want You" or the song she won Norway's Got Talent "Gloomy Sunday". Or - her version of "Stay" by Rihanna. She is amazing. There is nothing she can't sing, make her own and usually better than the original artist. Oh, you should hear her sing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" for sure! Also, "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. Do check them out!
She was born with soulful voice & spirit.When I first saw her videos is like...WHAT SORCERY IS THIS? hAHHAAA!
👍nicely done👍
Angelina Jordan is 16yrs old now that can sing any genre but Jazz/blues is her love,, signed by Republic Records as their Highest Priority Artist at 14yrs old,, she has over 160+ covers,, 2 that were written just for her,, one of those was by a well known Russian Poet,, 5 original's and a leaked Demo form another singer,, Family won't let her start her career until she graduates from school and Republic Records agreed and still signed her cuz they know what's coming down the road with this MASTERPIECE,,
👣🌬🌎
Angelina was nine years and two months old in this performance. You are watching the most uniquely gifted and talented young child in the world. She is a bona fide musical genius. She has been creating the arrangements to the covers she sings since she was eight years old. She is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She wrote four songs and recorded them by the time she was twelve years old. She speaks five languages and plays four instruments. She signed with Republic records in November of 2020. She turned sixteen years old on January 10, 2022.
Yes, the answer is yes, because "She is" . By the way, how many unforgettable performances are out there? She has many! No one ever has so many mind blowing performances and that's just a gran of sand on her beach of talent and hard work! So "Next Level Event" Has arrived.
James Brown”s It’s A Man’s World, sung at age 12 should be your next reaction. Welcome to the world of Angelina.
Someone summit it up ike that: "Angelina is a great All Time Jazz Singer at the age of 8 with 45 years of experience of life, Must be reincarnation." Itotally agree
Angelina Jordan Astar, born January 10, 2006, Oslo, Norway, here singing Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 song at age 9 years 2 months in March 2015. The candle she is holding at the beginning of the video shows Jay Hawkins' picture as a tribute to him. This was released publicly a year later. Singing AND reading English lyrics, her THIRD language after Norwegian & Farsi! Auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at age 7 with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday," following in the competition with "I'm a Fool to Want You," Nancy Sinatra's "Bang, Bang," and WINNING the competition at age 8 with Gershwin's "Summertime"! HOWEVER, even before then, at age SIX, you can watch her singing in her music school's sound room such songs as "Rolling in the Deep," "Hurt," and "I Who Have Nothing"! There is a short clip of her attempting to sing "I Will Always Love You" at age 18 MONTHS. Yep, not a misprint! 18 months! Child prodigy if ever was one. She is incredibly humble, a true empath, and generous humanitarian, raising over 20 million euros for various charities (especially children's). There is an incredibly touching story behind why she NEVER wears shoes when performing, which I'm sure someone else will share with you. She even wrote a book about it at age 9, making her the youngest published author in Norwegian history! She is now 16 years old and her latest UA-cam release on Valentine's Day is a cover of the 1937 song "My Funny Valentine" which will blow you away! ANGELINA JORDAN -- In this one, the music is strong! Welcome to the rabbit hole ...... uh, make that instead, the black hole of no return!
Lol luv it
Mr. Vibe. You have no idea what you are about to experience. Angelina Jordan is the new standard for greatness. Angelina has covered songs by some of the best artists such as Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Elle Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday , and Freddie Mercury to name a few. She just turned 16 years old and what she has done already is mind blowing. All I can say is get ready for Angelina Jordan. ( If that is even possible).
I couldn't have said it better. And in response to your statement in parenthesis at the end, just when you think, "OK, I'm ready for the next one." She'll prove you wrong again and surprise you yet again.
Welcome to The Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole, your in for one heck of a ride. She will take you on a journey like no others. She has over 140 covers all rearranged by her and 5 originals, that bring music to another level. Her 1st video recording was live in a studio, covering "I Who Have Nothing" sung by Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones, she is 6, in 1 take. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8, but was a 7 year old entrant, God Bless!
her first time in a recording studio she was 6 years old. she recorded a song called "I Who Have Nothing" from the 60.s and she tears it up. then from there we see her on Norways Got Talent, her first audition at 7 years old with Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday, then she goes on from there to win the whole show. Angelina is now 16 years old. she is just as amazing now as ever. you have just been introduced to Angelina Jordan. her fans are called Angelinas Angels and you are starting out on what we call the trip down the Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole. if you want to start from the beginning look up her studio version of "I Who Have Nothing". if you want something more recent, look up her covers of Michael Jackson songs, "Heal the World" and "Billie Jean". so so many to choose from. her original song she wrote, "7th Heaven" at 14 years old,and one to break your heart another song she wrote about the death of her grandfather, "Million Miles", (live in studio) black and white video, also at 14 years old. the latest 2 would be her cover of Adeles song "Easy On Me", at 15 years old, and oh my god, she does it better than Adele, and one of the very latest ones she does is "My Funny Valentine", at 16 years old . go for it man. nothing bad in any of these videos, just follow my directions, her million miles song has 3 videos, but the one i mentioned is the best one.
Little did you ever think but my friend you just became an Angel!.
Thank you for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
To describe Angelina Jordan's performances you absolutely nailed it with "you are in for the ride of your life" because you are so so right.
A year ago I watched her perform I put a spell on you. I was stunned but when I learned that was too her arrangement well ... I'm completely taken by her.
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole. Great starting point is watching all performances of Norway’s Got Talent. Began at age 7, ended with her win at age 8yrs. From there take any direction on her road to the ripe old age of 16. She can sing it all. You will continue to be amazed. Loved your reaction, and, thus since you mentioned you’ll be playing more Angelina, I’ve just subscribed. Thank You!
I can see Angelina is still casting her spell , the spell landed on me a couple of months ago and i haven't been able to stop listening. Great reaction. 😊🌏
new subscribed for more Angelina here - guess you will be filled in by other Angels (the name she gives her Fans) on her so i only add that After she won Norways got Talent at the age of 8 a lot of big companies including Disney have showing up with big money boxes to get her under contract - all got turned down by her family to give her the best possible childhood and education and protect her until she graduates school and is ready for the Music Industrie - also we Angels are very protective of her and as many are somewhat older already adopted her as grandchild - because of the pandemic she had to skip concerts but this year in July she will be in Norway for at lest 3 Concerts July 1, 7 and 10 near Oslo - greetings from Germany
Welcome to the Rabbit hole. I hope you realise once you jump in there is no coming out. She is just the most beautiful and soulful human being. We are so very blessed to have her.
She has around 140 covers and 5 or 6 of her own amazing songs. It really doesn’t matter which one you pick, she’s going to blow you away.
Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing,
Million Miles (her own)
Seventh Heaven (her own)
Summertime from Norway’s got talent
Gloomy Sunday Norway’s got Talent.
You better put a life jacket on because your about to encounter a flood.
A flood of Angels 😇
Enjoy the journey.
Imo ... only one word describes her ... REINCARNATION
Haha… I love watching someone experience this performance for the first time. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. You have a fantastic journey ahead of you. Next, you should check out her performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent at age 13 ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
Or What a Difference a Day Makes at age 8. ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
You really can’t go wrong with this girl. Look forward to your next reaction. Thanks.
As someone said before... The only thing bigger than her music is her heart.
How is it possible? I have come to the conclusion "Because it is Angelina"
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan - AKA - The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and The Angel of 1,000 voices! she is 9 years old at the time of this performance ( she turned 16 on 1/10/2022 ). This is HER ARRANGEMENT of the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins whose face was on the candle at the beginning of the video. The notes that you saw the music director looking over were Angelina's instructions to the band on how to play her arrangement!! The band affectionately nicknamed her " The Boss ".
She start singing jazz when she was 3 years old (:
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (140+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted!
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

She's incredible, right? I bet you'd also like I'm Still Holding Out For You and her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody from America's Got Talent: The Champions when she was on back in 2020. Great reaction, very similar to my own! If you got more Angelina, I'ma subscribe.
Her grandmother listened to Jazz all the time not knowing that at the age of 1 1/2 years Angelina was listening, enjoying and learning all the nuances of Jazz.
Great Great reaction. New subscriber that only watches Angelina.
The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time. Queen of Jazz and Blues.
9 years old and does her own arrangements. 16 on 1/10/22
I say start early. Her 4 songs in 1 reaction, in order with CC, on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 & 8.
You can see her progression and it is only about 10 minutes.
She also did 4 songs at 6 yo. Best are Rolling in the Deep and I Who Have Nothing.
She has around 160 covers and originals. When she does covers it ruins the original for me.
She covers 4 or 5 amazing Adele songs and takes them to the next level.
All I can say about Angelina is WOW!!! Great reaction!🤩
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. And now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from The Hating Game. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die".
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
I've seen a reaction by a charming vocal coach that dissected this performance, even down to the crumpled notes Angelina is reading from and the pen keeps waving: Angelina, at the ripe old age of 9 years and 2 months, arranged this performance herself in honor of Screaming Jay Hawkins (the original artist), and did it well! We can see that the excellent musicians accompanying her are really enjoying themselves, as is the music director (briefly seen in the beginning of the video, smiling at the latest changes of Angelina's "wishes" as she calls her arrangements). Apparently she was a determined young lady with firm opinions but a charming way of getting them across. The band (and musical director) fondly called her "The Boss".
Whatever her age, her musical maturity and vocal ability is off the charts, plain and simple
Angelina was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway (16 years old today). She started singing at the age of one year and a half and has been arranging her cover songs since she was 6 or 7 years old. She started with jazz!! She won “Norway Got Talent” at the age of 8!! There are more than 150 cover songs of all genres and singers. Now she also has her own songs.
There are cover from Queen, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Lana Del Rey, ELVIS, Michael Jackson, Billie Holyday, Elton John, Etta James, Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra,....
She is called "The Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". She is able to adapt her voice to her arrangements of the songs.
Why Angelina always sings barefoot:
At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need.

I can't get enough of your reaction to Angelina. I've seen it so many times!! 😅
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8. She was 7 when she auditioned with Gloomy Sunday. She was 9 on this one you just did.
Angelina is a total genius
Welcome to my freind to Angelina Jordans heaven . I understand your reaction.
Hi from Norway 🙏 For future reactions feel free to copy and paste: I can't believe she is 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 😎
Elle a 9 ans là vous n'avez rien vu à 7 ans elle chante et met une claque au Jury de Norway's Got Talent en chantant Gloomy Sunday de Billie Holliday et elle remporte le concours 👍❤❤❤❤
it always brings me joy to see people react to angelina first time
Angelina = The young living legend!!
You are most correct in noticing Angelina's vohiculars, they are the best. Thumbs up.
Angelina ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another spell is cast 😉 btw way I now need to add spitting to the growing list of physical reactions to this extraordinary performance 😂..edit..6 months later..you should react to your first time listening to AJ ))
Absolutely love this performance! ♥️ She is so sassy ! That crazy voice coming out of that child ? 😁
If the extraordinary talent itself doesn’t already water your eyes, her low, beautiful timber will.
Even without belting, she will still be one the most powerful voices ever.
Listen to her Etta James cover I'd Rather Go Blind....It is a must
Lovely reaction, make sure you try her "Summertime" and "Bang Bang" from NorwayGT semi and final.
"When I'm on stage... I'm trying to do one thing; Bring people joy." - Lovely Author [ "Miss. Angelina Jordan" ] Unknown
Love her version of "you say". Angelina just was ment to sing. Absolutely amazing.
Cool! Angelina made it into the "Vibe Fam" before you got halfway through the first reaction! And she did it at 9 years of age! Great first Angelina reaction -- but you better make a LOT of room in your schedule for her (she NEVER disappoints!). If you like Queen, watch her America's Got Talent performance of Bohemian Rhapsody and her cover of The Show Must Go On. If you like Adele, Angelina covers are all better than the originals. However, I love her classic jazz: Every Time We Say Goodbye (Ella) or At Last (Etta). Best is if you just pick every song that appeals to you from Rusty Shackleford's (164-song) playlist: ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
Angelina Jordan "bohemian Rhapsody"
🌟Welcome to ANGEL-INA'S World🌟💖Love from Sweden 💖
Angelina brought me here but you made me stay (new subscriber). Great reaction!!😎😎😎😎
She's put her spell on you, just like us. We're hers now. And enjoying every minute. So many great songs to review. She has us all spitting, coughing, choking, laughing, crying, and trying to think of a singer in our life time that's as good at any age, much less as a child.
I Am Still Holding Out For You, you would be very happy to React to this AMAZING SONG.
Trust Me, you will Love Cheers from Val from DOWN UNDER IN OZ..
Million miles apart, you will love it. She wrote it as a tribute to her grandfather who passed shortly before the song was released!
As much as us AJ lunatics :) would love more a lot faster, her pace seems to be just right for her and her family. She has everything she needs and will never want for anything material the rest of her life. Her family has been making wise choices and I'm very glad they are. Keeping Angelina in a healthy, happy & safe environment for growth is vital to making sure she provides us the intoxication :) we need for years to come. She makes me feel happy for her.
Yes!
Wellcome
Next: This is a man's world 😊
Great reaction, she is so amazing. Check out her latest release MY FUNNY VALENTINE. 👍👍👍
watch her first song "Shield",written at 12years old. Incredible .
Sooooooo glad you are in the AJ rabbit hole. I’ve been with you a long time with hmack and was hoping you’d find her.
Fiya!!!!!! 🔥
I’m not only watching this for Angelina , I’m watching this gentleman’s awesome reaction to listening to her first time. LOL it’s great
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five songs:
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ua-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/v-deo.html]
[as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: ua-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/v-deo.html]
---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html)
---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html]
---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: ua-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/v-deo.html)
---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html]
Angelina, literally "little angel", put on her dark wings here. Even for her, this is a unique performance but it show cases her jazz, blues and soul style. She is singing here a year after winning Norway's Got Talent at age 8 with a stunning performance of Gershwin's "Summertime", a must see performance.
At age 16, she just did "My Funny Valentine", a performance sure to rank among the top jazz performances ever done.
Glad you had a chance to react to and enjoy the "bare foot princess".
Thank you for providing links to Angelina's official Channel and original video. It helps to encourage your viewers to like comment and subscribe to those links just as you do for yours.
Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals.
m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and promised she would never again wear shoes while performing until all children of the world had shoes! At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you would not want to escape. Peace.
I am an instant subscriber because I know you are in for the long haul, 🙂Yes, Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old in this performance. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and she based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The video has received 9,559,247 views and 8,121 Comments.
Things worthy of note in this video are
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The occasions where Angelina gave silent instructions to the band
(e) How she rose on to her toes the last time she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The instant transformation for "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I remark on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
You have seen in the comments that Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The chameleon of Song" for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the colour of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners
Well said!!
Very well stated.
Subscribed to follow you on your Angelina Jordan journey. Enjoy the deep deep rabbit hole. Chose any song age 6 to 16. Happy listening.
You have to see the song that got her the most publicity, her version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” from Americas Got Talent the Champions 2020, then check out “I’d Rather Go Blind,” then her original “Million Miles” (live in studio version). After that you have over 160 songs to go through at every age from 6 to 16, without a bad one in the bunch!
