Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html
We angels never tire of watching reactions to this incredible performance. 9 year old Angelina, seen writing her wishes at the start of the video, took control of the studio and musicians to deliver, IMO, the best version of this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. The musicians called Angelina, "the boss". Angelina is 18 now and has said she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed by 16 of them. Here is the list. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... debuted at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad "Thank You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert 9/20/24 "What Am I to You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
You are now officially under Angelina's spell. Many people are not aware that Screamin' Jay Hawkens did a sequel to this song called "You Put a Spell on Me". ua-cam.com/video/WvUU44SmjnA/v-deo.htmlsi=e7xqd2FFq8I5rLqx Was he able to see the future and witness Angelina's performance? Lol It will be very cool if Angelina performs this one too. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Elvis had the same vibrato IMP. I’ve been watching his early movies lately and it’s amazing how similar Angelina sounds like his style vocally. But Angelina has more tools vocally/ the ability to sing in multiple genres
This little prodigy is 9 and has arranged this whole take from Screaming Joe Hawkins's production known as The Boss, she has already won Norway Got Talent and has written a book "Between two Hearts" "Norway's youngest author" a story about why she performs barefoot Angelina speaks 2 languages fluently and sings in 5 languages and she plays the piano, flute, violin, and guitar and also paints awarded with a dynamite family that allows her to be a child while growing up a prodigy you can follow her videos "over 200 covers on U-tube" from age7 to present 18 also the best is her followers called angels "some of the nicest people on the net" that will deluge you with information about her to watch you hearing this musical master do what she loves singing Welcome to the rabbit hole
