Valerie, the vocal coach on her Vocal Splendor Studios channel, after listening to this performance, said Angelina had reached the Master Class level of vocals. Angelina was 10 years old.
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
You said “That close shot was her statement that I am here!” Totally agree. Her sweet smile and direct eye contact is mind blowing stage presence, esp for such a shy, humble little girl. And that power run up and run down in one breath? No words.
Greetings from New Zealand. Great reaction again mate and its good to know I'm not the only grown man who is amazed by the talent of Angelina Jordan 👍🙂
My favorite Angelina song is the last Angelina song I listened too. This song becomes my favorite 2 or 3 times a day. Doing great work promoting our princess. Thank you.
Angelina's masterpiece cover, the only explanation is that as soon as she was born the first thing she said was "give me a damn microphone and I have to sing", there are good and very good singers but, at 10 years old, impossible to compare with anyone, thanks Alex , right reaction to a performance that has very little terrestrial, good life ... Massimo
Love your reactions, Alex. I made a similar comment on your last video, but I think it is lost somewhere in the ether. So..., at some point in your AJ journey you really should view two interviews by Alan Papier, on his YT channel. One is with Egil Claussen, her Oslo guitarist from age 7-12 and the other one is with Ivan Mendez, her LA guitarist at 12. She used their sessions as practice and did many cover songs with them, eventually putting them on YT. You will hear that the sessions were never preplanned. They would meet, hang out with family and then discuss songs that one or the other suggested. Angie would decide on a song and the guitarist would go over the chords, et. while she studied and downloaded the lyrics. In most of these videos you see her reading the lyrics as she gives a powerful and emotional performance. A few minutes later they would turn on the camera and film the first take, rarely a second take was needed. Angie would tell him where she wanted to slow down or speed up and to follow her rhythm and timing. The interviews contain a few short clips of some of their sessions - singing and sometimes joking around. These two interviews are a must for any serious AJ fan. Egil, ua-cam.com/video/x5wWxk5fYJ0/v-deo.html Ivan, ua-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/v-deo.html
Frickin ridiculous. She is just amazing. Heard this 100s and 100s of times. Never gets old. I love charlesbiskeborn3369 comment. My favorite Angelina song is the last Angelina song I listened too.
Di livello molto alto anzi altissimo la sua interpretazione di questa canzone. Molti nella UA-cam paragonano questo talento oggi uno dei più talentuosi al mondo.
Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction. There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice. (2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move. (3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus. (4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance. (5) That wonderful crescendo at the end. (6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance (7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand. (8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 4.40 in your reaction video. (9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!" (10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who,curseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause. Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
👣You are very very VERY right. It is all such a joy and great blessing to tour the Angelina music-journey. I say she has it all, all the tools she might ever want, - and then some. The sky is the limit to her, for sure. Or should I say the 7th heaven?! 😁 👣💖 💖 (You`ll get it Alex. You`ll get it. Just you wait 😉😊) 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is very easy to know when something super extraordinary is about to comes out from her mouth. She moves her hair or she starts moving her arms. I think is the way from her to be prepared and ready to give us the AJ magic
Great reaction to this superb, mindblowing performance! This performance by Angelina is in the TOP 3 of the TOP 10 of my TOP 180 FAVORITES of hers! Her range, her power, and that phenomenal finale with supernova breath control (at 10!!) are absolutely unexplainable! Then suddenly, she disarms you and melts your heart as she immediately goes back to being a cute, shy little 10 year old girl with an adorable, appreciative little curtsy to the crowd and a sly little smile/giggle to her brass band!
Alex, Do you get the feeling everytime you hear a new song from her you say she can't possibly top the last one and she says to you yeah? "Hold my Beer"
Hi there Alex. Great reaction though. I think your journey in Angelina 's world Will note be complete of you dont have a look at her live concerts. Specially when younger. Try Sandfjord 2017 when She was 11. Just Epic. And her performance of "loving you" in "Beast mode" Will leave you speechless. Teke care...
This is one of my favorites from Angelina. Especially at 10 years old. The horn section of this band, I believe is their first time working with Angelina. However the next year when she is 11 they do several concerts featuring her as soloist. You'll get to them as you progress through her catalog, but there are still more when she is 10. Keep up the good work, we're here for you.
Not many super, super, super stars curtsy at the end. She is such a joy to watch and listen to. Thanks Alex. I can see you're kind of taken by her talent too.
Another "double masterpiece" - both Angelina's amazing performance & your great reaction & appreciation of it! Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina.
Sorry to Michael Buble - and even to the outstanding Nina Simone, who first made this song popular in the 1960's - but Angelina's performance has the edge.
While listening to Angelina singing this today I realized how many parallel universes she has branched out into with her voice and song that may keep going on and on an forever,…?! What a magical wonderful gift has come true. Her desire to sing for millions and millions,…This is mind blowing! Angelina of all ages singing for the ages
😅Angelina took on some heavy hitters at 12 years old. I’ll make a guess of “Stay” or “ Born To Die” . Great reaction…..you see,hear and feel what we do.
Of course, they call her Boss, in an affectionate way. She knows what she’s doing and how she wants it to be. The band follows her, not the other way around. She’s killer!!
Little barefoot girl in a white dress just kickin' ass! In my mind, this particular performance marks a hinge point in the trajectory of her career. Prior to this, she was very comfortable in front of live audiences, but seemed a touch out of place on live TV. Not bad, but just not quite sure how to address the camera. When she turns to follow that flying closeup, she is saying "I know I belong here, and nobody better get in the way."
Perfect performance and great reaction. I know you are a way off her new releases but have to add the teasers for her new EP are truly a level beyond anyone else out there now or before, happy journey!
The first song I heard about five years ago was Gloomy Sunday. I was blown away, of course. But since then, she continues to surprise and amaze me on just about every song I’ve heard from her. I’ve never reacted to any other singer that way. Like today’s song, she decides on her own arrangement, kills the actual performance, but honors the essence of this classic song. Listen to the vocal fry, the range, the grit, the belting, the absolutely perfect timing-all done with quiet, but obvious, confidence. A ten year old giving a performance that rises up over all those horns and strings. She is once in a lifetime.
At age 10, Angelina has fully entered her domain. She knows who she is and what her voice can do. The traces of child voice have gone, and from now on we are dealing with a fully mature and confident artist - not merely a singer - who nevertheless is improving and will improve her artistry. Who knows where she will be in five years' time, let alone 10, by which time a female singer's voice has normally reached its peak? This version of Feeling Good is so smooth and competent, yet harbours so many beautiful details, one almost fails to register how brilliant it is. At age 10. Oh, and the band is pretty hot, too!
You're not the only reactor to rewind to the final crescendo multiple times. The whole performance is great, on par with famous gigs of the past, but this finale is unique - a great upgrade not found on the critically acclaimed Nina Simone version, nor on Michael Buble. But aside from the ending - everything about it is perfect: not only did the band do a great job, they synchronized seamlessly with Angelina's beautiful vocals, the lighting is top notch (remember that pulsating aura at the beginning), as is the camera work (remember the 360 degree tracking shot around her, along with the "hey" she said to us with her eyes). I just wish we could have seen more of the audience - that's the benefit of the Allsang pa grensen version a few months earlier (and I have to admit I like the finale there a bit better). If you've seen Nina Simone's official music video for this song, remember the occasion Angelina performed here - it's not just a stage performance, it's a charity event benefitting a Norwegian Charity supporting children. It is called "The Stream gir tilbake (= gives back)" because finalists from The Stream vocal contest performed there, along with established artists like Angelina. The event took place on Friday 30 December 2016 and has been broadcast live on TV 2 Norway from the event hall at Chateau Neuf Oslo (1,400 seats).
So many good ones, it is hard to guess, but if she wants to show her variety in voice it could be Back to Black (A.J. rewote the words) or the Alan Walker homecoming that is a very different style "Sing me To Sleep" and "Faded", or another couple of good ones are Summertime or Everytime We Say Goodbye. All of them are amazing.
Nina Simone's rendition is considered by most to be 'The Gold Standard' for this song. Here, 10 year old Angelina takes it to a level of perfection that I can only call 'The Platinum Standard', for I've never heard anyone sing it as exceptionally as she does, and let us not forget that the arrangement of instruments to be used at specific points in the song are also of her doing. The #1 orchestra in Norway, called KORK, who she has worked with since the age of 9, acknowledges this by their referring to her as simply 'The Boss'.
I am amazed that she doesn't rush her songs. She's so young, yet she stands there and patiently waits for the perfect moment to begin/continue. Such musicality!
What a gem this is! And just when you think "just" extraordinary vocal excellence is what you are hearing, Angelina blows your face off with the powerful ending!
A big AMEN!! to your comment of her being the boss, She's so incredibly in composed and relaxed like "Yes, I was born to sing like this! P.S. They always bring out the best bands to play for Angelina, which is a definite sign of respect for her talent!!
Scommetto che ai tempi di Louis Armstrong non c',era nessuno che a 10anni si permetteva di cantare comandando una grande orchestra.Signori aprite gli occhi,Angelina è un genio del canto.
Wow, no hay otro calificativo superlativo que refleje en toda su magnitud el talento de esta pequeña . No conozco otro niño de su edad que transmita emociones con esta intensidad y calidad.
Un alma vieja en el cuerpo de una niña ..cada vez que canta emite emoción.. increíble Angelina...transporta con su voz y acaricia el alma..son tantas las canciones que te recomendaria escuchar ...todas y cada una de ellas tienen su toque perrsonal... su version de Bohemian rapsody es increíble...he visto ya tu reaccion...te recomiendo tambien su version de "goodbye yellow brick road" en agt's.. su version jazz de "billy jean"..sus covers de "when you belive".." all i ask".." i have nothing".." suspicious minds".." easy on me"... entre otros muchos..y, sobre todo, sus singles "million miles".. " 7heaven"..
Alex, I enjoyed watching your reactions to Angelina in the early years; my favorite time went she was developing her Jazz style and doing music her way. I had just rung the "Subscribed Bell" and asked if you could return to Angelina's first time in a recording studio when she was 6 years old! Her Grandmom, Mery, who influenced Angelina when she was a Baby, introduced her to Jazz music. Angelina recorded "I Who Have Nothing" in English. Her native language is Norwegian, and she had trouble reading some English words she had learned in school! She was 6 yrs old; I didn't know how to tie my shoes at 6 or speak in English; my first is Spanish.
I loved your reaction to Nandi Bushnell's cover of "Toxicity" a long time ago. I'm surprised you haven't reacted to Nandi on stage with the Foo Fighters some time after that. I believe she was 11.
My guess is Suspicious Minds I loved your reaction at the end! 😅🤣😂 It’s a typical reaction to all the reactors who have watch & reacted to this performance. For fun & entertainment I watch reactions to the ending of this performance, like I watch reactions from reactors to AJ’s “I Put a Spell On You”. So much fun to see all the flabbergasted reactions! This month marks a yr now I have been following Angelina. She is responsible, as a 9 yr old no less, to turn me on to the world of jazz. Prior 70 yrs rock n roll and the blues. Hopefully I can get my 3 to you soon. Great reaction Alex to a typical fantastic performance by our lil barefoot princes. Oophs! Forgot! No more lil princess! Fyi… her birthday is on the 10th of Jan. Maybe do a reaction to a song of hers then? I include a suggestion. Depends what the 3rd be but I bet my bottom dollar it’s Suspicious Minds. If not you can, if you like, play it on her birthday. Cheers
That's what a 10 year old prodigy looks and sounds like.
Valerie, the vocal coach on her Vocal Splendor Studios channel, after listening to this performance, said Angelina had reached the Master Class level of vocals. Angelina was 10 years old.
Hi Andy, exactly so!!!!!
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Диана Анкудинова послушайте в её исполнении.
You are discovering her extraordinary timing.
That is greatness.
At 10 years old Angelina can get down like no other, epic performance!!!
If you look at the end of the video, Angelina SPANKED that song!
especially the whole last belt with one breath
When she finishes singing we see the little girl with her Mona Lisa smile which said : it’s not difficult to sing this song !! Unreal !!
You said “That close shot was her statement that I am here!”
Totally agree. Her sweet smile and direct eye contact is mind blowing stage presence, esp for such a shy, humble little girl. And that power run up and run down in one breath? No words.
I love that part where she smiles and looks straight into the camera as it pans around her.
You’re right Alex, she is awesome! Loving your journey, I am loving reliving it and will probably do many more times!
Thank you
The only time you’ll ever hear a better version of this song is when Angelina does it!!!!!
what a marvelous reaction to a masterpiece
Age 10 was THE BEST pre teen year !!!
I told you it was epic!
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina…she is simply the best…
My favorite singer ever!
And she does all the arrangements.
In that big crescendo you got those proud daddy eyes with a glisten of the heart.
At 10 years old she sings this better than any other singer I've heard.
Tremenda Angelina !!!
Just mind-blowing isn't she?
thanks for being so open with your reactions on Angelina's music.... you're obviously under the power of AJ (wink, wink)
Alex, she was not only singing in front of a large studio audience, but she was on national TV & cool as a cucumber. The stage is her oyster.
All of us who have followed her career from the start, know that she
has never shown one iota of fear. Truly astounding, if you think about it.
Angelina Jordan is one of the very few singers in history that can live up to all the hype and hyperbole. She just simply amazing
I'm hoping against hope that your third reaction will be 12-year-old Angelina singing James Brown's "This is a Man's World"!!!
FYI, this was a live performance on Norwegian national television..
Greetings from New Zealand. Great reaction again mate and its good to know I'm not the only grown man who is amazed by the talent of Angelina Jordan 👍🙂
Another hooked Angelina fan from New Zealand
Yes I am a fellow New Zealander that has been hooked on Angelina Jordon as well.

I think we don't know how good she is, but she does.
Loved your reaction
My favorite Angelina song is the last Angelina song I listened too. This song becomes my favorite 2 or 3 times a day. Doing great work promoting our princess. Thank you.
Pretty dang good !!
Alex , I have watched all your reactions to Angelina. You have truly become an ANGEL. Your facial expressions say it all.
Angelina's masterpiece cover, the only explanation is that as soon as she was born the first thing she said was "give me a damn microphone and I have to sing", there are good and very good singers but, at 10 years old, impossible to compare with anyone, thanks Alex , right reaction to a performance that has very little terrestrial, good life ... Massimo
Awesome reaction, if she goes up a year, "I'm A Fool To Want You", rehearsal when she was 11, grandma filming on cell phone, God Bless!
I listen to Angelina, the Barefoot Angel, every day, and she makes each day a special day for me.
This is one of her best covers our barefoot princess never fails to out do everyone she covers great reaction as always 🙂😍🤩👍 Wild bill
Love your reactions, Alex. I made a similar comment on your last video, but I think it is lost somewhere in the ether. So..., at some point in your AJ journey you really should view two interviews by Alan Papier, on his YT channel. One is with Egil Claussen, her Oslo guitarist from age 7-12 and the other one is with Ivan Mendez, her LA guitarist at 12. She used their sessions as practice and did many cover songs with them, eventually putting them on YT. You will hear that the sessions were never preplanned. They would meet, hang out with family and then discuss songs that one or the other suggested. Angie would decide on a song and the guitarist would go over the chords, et. while she studied and downloaded the lyrics. In most of these videos you see her reading the lyrics as she gives a powerful and emotional performance. A few minutes later they would turn on the camera and film the first take, rarely a second take was needed.

It's so many to choose from so very hard to guess. Great reactionj again!!
Great reaction.
My guess is the couple of songs she did with Alan Walker. You’ll like those!
Is very easy to know when something super extraordinary is about to comes out from her mouth. She moves her hair or she starts moving her arms. I think is the way from her to be prepared and ready to give us the AJ magic
Great reaction to a truly wonderful performance !
Loved your reaction and this performance 🫶
I actually prefer the outdoor version from the same year.
Great reaction to this superb, mindblowing performance! This performance by Angelina is in the TOP 3 of the TOP 10 of my TOP 180 FAVORITES of hers! Her range, her power, and that phenomenal finale with supernova breath control (at 10!!) are absolutely unexplainable! Then suddenly, she disarms you and melts your heart as she immediately goes back to being a cute, shy little 10 year old girl with an adorable, appreciative little curtsy to the crowd and a sly little smile/giggle to her brass band!
Alex, Do you get the feeling everytime you hear a new song from her you say she can't possibly top the last one and she says to you yeah? "Hold my Beer"
Age appropriate, "Hold my root beer!"
"Hold my shoes....."
Angelina. La mejor cantante de los últimos tiempos.
No hay comparacion
Extraterrestrial Phenomenon!!!!!!!
MAGICAL VOICE!!!!
GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi there Alex. Great reaction though. I think your journey in Angelina 's world Will note be complete of you dont have a look at her live concerts. Specially when younger. Try Sandfjord 2017 when She was 11. Just Epic. And her performance of "loving you" in "Beast mode" Will leave you speechless. Teke care...
She is so amazing. The fact that she stands in front of that massive band and owns the entire stage just incredible.
Magnificent singing and exceptional reaction. Thank to our angel Angelina and also to you Alex.
This is one of my favorites from Angelina. Especially at 10 years old. The horn section of this band, I believe is their first time working with Angelina.

Those concerts were great! Every song . 😊
Me too!
Not many super, super, super stars curtsy at the end. She is such a joy to watch and listen to. Thanks Alex. I can see you're kind of taken by her talent too.
Another "double masterpiece" - both Angelina's amazing performance & your great reaction & appreciation of it! Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina.
Alex, I just listened to Michael Buble's great rendition of this song and Angelina's creativity lifted it up to the same level. Incredible! 😱
I much prefer Angelina’s version, Michael’s is rather dull in comparison!
@@kerrythomas6220 agree.
@@kerrythomas6220 Absolutely Agree.
I’ve even been to a couple of Michael Bublé’s concerts and now I happen to agree as well.
Sorry to Michael Buble - and even to the outstanding Nina Simone, who first made this song popular in the 1960's - but Angelina's performance has the edge.

😅Angelina took on some heavy hitters at 12 years old. I’ll make a guess of “Stay” or “ Born To Die” . Great reaction…..you see,hear and feel what we do.
Oh heck, I forgot about “ Fly Me To The Moon” for Quincy Jones’s Birthday in London.
If you stay at 10 yo from the live stream/concert with Alan Walker.
At 11 yo I guess Loving You.
Angelina's voice talent is an Awesome. A gift from God and use her talents for the Glory of God. Praying for her protection
Of course, they call her Boss, in an affectionate way. She knows what she’s doing and how she wants it to be. The band follows her, not the other way around. She’s killer!!

I guess the third song requested is "It's a Man's World"😊
Goditi Save the queen
Great second song choice, Lori/Laurie! What an exciting finish! Looking forward to song number three!
Stay or Faded
Alex This is one of my favorites. Her little smile at the end shows her confidence. "Yes, I KILLED it." By the way, this is HER arrangement.!
At age 10, Angelina has fully entered her domain. She knows who she is and what her voice can do.

My guess as well...👍
Es una maravillosa interpretación.
Grande grande.
You're not the only reactor to rewind to the final crescendo multiple times. The whole performance is great, on par with famous gigs of the past, but this finale is unique - a great upgrade not found on the critically acclaimed Nina Simone version, nor on Michael Buble.

that I can only call 'The Platinum Standard', for I've never heard anyone sing
it as exceptionally as she does, and let us not forget that the arrangement of
instruments to be used at specific points in the song are also of her doing.

What a gem this is! And just when you think "just" extraordinary vocal excellence is what you are hearing, Angelina blows your face off with the powerful ending!
Nivel al alcance de pocos cos 15 o 20 años de experiencia, ella lo tenía a los 10, pero de edad.

Scommetto che ai tempi di Louis Armstrong non c',era nessuno che a 10anni si permetteva di cantare comandando una grande orchestra.Signori aprite gli occhi,Angelina è un genio del canto.
Wow, no hay otro calificativo superlativo que refleje en toda su magnitud el talento de esta pequeña .
No conozco otro niño de su edad que transmita emociones con esta intensidad y calidad.
Un alma vieja en el cuerpo de una niña ..cada vez que canta emite emoción.. increíble Angelina...transporta con su voz y acaricia el alma..son tantas las canciones que te recomendaria escuchar ...todas y cada una de ellas tienen su toque perrsonal... su version de Bohemian rapsody es increíble...he visto ya tu reaccion...te recomiendo tambien su version de "goodbye yellow brick road" en agt's.. su version jazz de "billy jean"..sus covers de "when you belive".." all i ask".." i have nothing".." suspicious minds".." easy on me"... entre otros muchos..y, sobre todo, sus singles "million miles".. " 7heaven"..
Alex, I enjoyed watching your reactions to Angelina in the early years; my favorite time went she was developing her Jazz style and doing music her way. I had just rung the "Subscribed Bell" and asked if you could return to Angelina's first time in a recording studio when she was 6 years old! Her Grandmom, Mery, who influenced Angelina when she was a Baby, introduced her to Jazz music. Angelina recorded "I Who Have Nothing" in English. Her native language is Norwegian, and she had trouble reading some English words she had learned in school! She was 6 yrs old; I didn't know how to tie my shoes at 6 or speak in English; my first is Spanish.
I loved your reaction to Nandi Bushnell's cover of "Toxicity" a long time ago. I'm surprised you haven't reacted to Nandi on stage with the Foo Fighters some time after that. I believe she was 11.
My guess is Suspicious Minds
I loved your reaction at the end! 😅🤣😂
It’s a typical reaction to all the reactors who have watch & reacted to
this performance. For fun & entertainment I watch reactions to the ending of this performance, like I watch reactions from reactors to AJ’s “I Put a Spell On You”. So much fun to see all the flabbergasted reactions! This month marks a yr now I have been following Angelina. She is responsible, as a 9 yr old no less, to turn me on to the world of jazz. Prior 70 yrs rock n roll and the blues. Hopefully I can get my 3 to you soon. Great reaction Alex to a typical fantastic performance by our lil barefoot princes. Oophs! Forgot! No more lil princess! Fyi… her birthday is on the 10th of Jan. Maybe do a reaction to a song of hers then? I include a suggestion. Depends what the 3rd be but I bet my bottom dollar it’s Suspicious Minds. If not you can, if you like, play it on her birthday. Cheers
🥰
Valerie??
Vocal Splendor Studios is a UA-cam channel. The UA-camr also happens to be a vocal coach. She does reaction videos. Her name is Valerie.
Can't believe I am saying this but Nona Simone's version is now number two
sorry Nina
