Here's a Norwegian singer with phenomenal vocals. Angelina Jordan, 16 today, first came on the scene as a barefooted little girl of 7, with Amy Winehouse hair, who walked onto the stage of Norway's Got Talent to audition. She was last up, and nobody was prepared for this 'old soul', who went on to win the season singing jazz classics from decades past. The vocal control she exhibited was even more exceptional, as she taught/teaches herself to sing, beginning around 2-3 years old. Even on the stage of NGT, the judges saw her arrange her music and lyrics even at such a young age. Having won NGT 2014, Angelina went on to compete in America's Got Talent, The Champions 2020, auditioning with her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. All that being said, before you deep dive into this young performers covers or originals, there's one gem amongst a treasure trove to start with. This "MUST SEE" performance is her cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" (1956). I guarantee that you will not regret making this your next reaction. She will literally cause you to question reality. At 9 years and 2 months old, Angelina arranged and performed a black and white studio cover of this jazz classic; considered by many to be a masterpiece cover of how Jay intended the song to be performed. There are 195 versions of the song performed by such greats as: Nina Simone; Manfred Man; Pete Townshend; John Fogerty; Annie Lennox; and many more. So the question is, how does Angelina Jordan come closer to the original than the other 194 great artists? She did it by going back to the source, Screamin' Jay Hawkins himself. Her arrangement of music and lyrics honor Jay's work as close as possible, albeit by being performed by a tiny barefooted 9 year old girl. She can change up her performance on the fly. The notes she scribbles down at the beginning of the video are the lyrics you can see her referring to during the performance. Singing is simply organic to her. The candle she holds in the beginning has a picture of Jay on it, honoring (or perhaps channeling) him. If you haven't seen one of Jay's performances, I've provided a link to him on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989. I recommend listening to Jay performance 'AFTER' your react to Angelina, even if you do it on your own time. Jay's is raw and very unconventional. After watching Jay, I jump right back to Angelina's cover, picking out how she adapted Jay's style for her own arrangement. Vocal coaches can point out what Angelina's doing with her voice and body in great detail, but have no clue as to how this little 9 year old girl can so control her body produce the sounds she wants. I stress that you watch the black and white studio performance listed below, from her cover channel. She has performed the song since this time, but she has never replicated the vocal performance she gave here. Individuals have cited that Angelina was cautioned not to perform the song as she did here, as it had the real potential to cause permanent damage to her voice. As such, her later performances can't match this one. It's all the more reason to watch this unrepeatable performance. So this is a one-and-only treasure that you absolutely won't regret watching.

When this band came out in the 80's I was never really into them. But as I got older, I started to appreciate them a lot more. This is my favorite song along with Burning Down The House.
When I was a kid, this was so unusual and unique. David Byrne was way ahead of his time, a true original.... Hey, and thanks for Tina Arena tip. Sorrento Moon was really fun and groovy!!! I'll check more of her out. Aussie women kick ass!!!
This seems like the music that would be played on “Rage”. Rage was a music video show that would play overnight on the weekends. It would have all the songs that wouldn’t be played on the daytime music channel. Yeah we’re pretty good hey 👌
@@inbedwithmusic2130 Really though Jess, I know my stuff when it comes to 50s,60s, 70s and some 80s. A little 90s and a boat load of Sia. You have no idea of how great American music is. It's one of the few things we've gotten right!!!
@@inbedwithmusic2130 hehe.....oh Rage.... Despite being an American, I'm _super_ familiar with Rage....because I'm a massive Silverchair fan. And not just the Frogstomp stuff. My favorite albums are Neon Ballroom, Diorama, & Young Modern. And the Dissociatives stuff. And Pond are my current favorite band...also Aussies. You guys produce some quality bands down there!
Hi Jess ! Now that was fun to watch (after the rather serious topic of "Lucky")... though I am familar with this band, I didn't know this song before. The video was really well done and so funny and entertaining... and I loved watching you having fun, too... here's to your next one ! Best wishes from Germany : Gerry PS : Did you read my comment to your Aurora reaction ? Today is her birthday ! She turned 26 now. Would you come back to Aurora and react to some more of her songs ? That'll be wonderful, since there is so much more for you to discover from her.
I'm so bummed that I forgot to hit record on Girlfriend is Better... now THAT was a fun video haha. So much dancing and laughing. Thanks for your support Gerry, it's very kind of you.
0:53 "....what _is_ he doing?" I don't know the number of times that exact sentence has been uttered by someone watching David Byrne.....but I do know it's a number larger than the GDP of many nations.
Once in a Lifetime is such a fun video, and I love the song. Talking Heads are an interesting band for sure. This song always makes me think of Weird Al's style parody of Talking Heads - Dog Eat Dog
Did You Say More?... Talking Heads "Take Me To The River",, "And She Was",, "Burning Down The House",, "Wild Wild Life",, "Girlfriend Is Better",, "Life During Wartime",, "This Must Be The Place",, "Moon Rocks",, Etc..Etc.
David Byrne is a legit musical genius. This song, Burning Down the House, and Naive Melody/This Must Be the Place are all great introductions to Talking Heads music. And there's WAY more cool stuff beyond that. They really captured this perfect mix of weirdo savant experimentalism....with hyper catchy POP music. Best band of the 80s? I sure think so. :)
The Takeaway:: He Refuses To Leave Because The Memory Of Her Is Still There..A Treat For The Ears & Eyes,, The Shins "Pink Bullets" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)
Life During Wartime, should be next from their live concert Stop Making Sense. Interesting band. Lots of good tunes to discover. Keep up the good reactions. Try Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and many many more.
Awesome thanks Paul, I think the Girlfriend Is Better video that I tried to do was from that concert and it looked like so much fun. I’ve heard most of Queen but only one from Kiss, one from Aerosmith and no Alice Cooper. I’ll pop them all on the list. Thanks again.
Well well. My brother sent me here in this direction to your channel. I know you haven’t uploaded for a couple of years, and I hope you’re okay. I like your videos. This is a lovely little channel. I hope you do more. And my brother told me to tell you that you’re such a gorgeous lady!
Talking Heads Chris Frantz (Drums) & Wife Tina Weymouth (Bass) Would Create A Band/Side Project & Well Worth A Listen,, The Tom Tom Club "Genius Of Love" (Official Music Video)..I Think You Will Really Like This One.
Good luck, I think you’ll do great! Infinite amount of this music. Stick with the studio version most of the time. Some live is better, some songs both.

True entertainers. I haven’t heard of it Patrick but I’ve popped it on the list.
Same here! I think of that Weird Al song about a yuppie office worker.

Classic song. Classic video.
I can see why! What an experience.

It's about a midlife crisis wrapped in a panic attack..you'll understand it better in about 20 years or so
Love Talking Heads
They’re unreal!
Life During Wartime, should be next from their live concert Stop Making Sense.
Interesting band. Lots of good tunes to discover.
Keep up the good reactions.
Try Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and many many more.

True Sarcasm,, But In The Very Best Of Ways,, The Talking Heads "(Nothing But) Flowers"
(Official Music Video)
You should do "As she was" by them as well. Really catchy and good video.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
So am I. Thanks for the recommendation!
it's been years since I've heard that one!
Thanks for hearing it with again, with me-for the first time.

You’ve heard it. MAGA popular. Billions of plays.
I think it may have been in a tv commercial when I was a kid.
