A mash up of Angelina and Ella recordings makes me remember mornings on the farm enjoying warm, whole milk (Angelina's voice) and whole cream (Ella Fitzgerald).
This performance was sent live at TV2 in Norway, no retake, no second chances, she just go up there and performs it to perfection. Like she always does. She goes up on stage, and deliver a performance even stars may need a studio or some takes to do this well. It is just mind blowing. And she was only 10 years old here. Thank you, Valerie 👍
@@brucecumming8803 And just to mention that, two small hours later, she was boarding their plane from Norway to USA. She just popped up to sing a song first.. No biggie..
Frank Sinatra once said that before he recorded a song he wanted to read the lyrics to understand what the writer was saying and then interpret that story
This is what we called Professional's reaction.. We learn something.. Not just usual face reaction.. Just like u said, She have integrity in her singing style, u too have integrity in your reaction.
This is her best performance, even though it is not without flaws. And it is one of my favorite performances by any artists ever. And she was 10 years old at the time. 10 YEARS OLD! I am always honest with my reactions, and I receive a lot of hate because of that, but she blows all other child artists out of the water. And even most adult artists as well. What she is doing her is beyond incredible. Even though she has some small mispronunciations of God, or that her vibrato becomes a bit unstable because of lack of breath (Freddie Mercury had that problem all the time). It is still one of the performances that has given me most emotionally by any artist at any given time in history. She is purely a genius! You should also listen to the way she ads color to the lyric. She paints with brighter and darker coloring when she sings "from major to minor." Or that she uses intentionally a lot of breath when she sings "air of spring about it" Reminiscent of a warm spring breeze. It is also worth mentioning that this was her last performance in Norway before she moved to the U.S. So it is a bittersweet farewell to her home country that she loves a lot. Her love for her home country has been expressed in many interviews. So the song is a perfect fit for her in this situation!
@Concerned Citizen I am so tired of people giving me a hard time for my well thought through assessments on UA-cam. There are two official pronunciations of God as determined by the IPA phonetic alphabet. 1. the UK version: /ɡɒd/ 2. The American version: /ɡɑːd/. Whether there are certain regional variations is beyond the point: /ɡʊd/ is not one of them.
Wow, youtube refuses to post my full answer. Just as well... I have no interest in defending the science behind phonetics anyway. And yes, I have studied the subject at university level, so I do know a thing or two about phonetics. Thank you!
Oso Wallman She should, went to school on Ella and you can hear the Ella influences. Ella was special even during a time when that way of singing was the norm. But Angelina’s ability to understand the nuances of Ella and reproduce them at the age of 7 and 8 just shows how deep Angelina’s talent goes. There are many singers today that never learn what Angelina learned at 7.
This performance really highlights one of the many things I love about her singing. She NEVER rushes. Every line, every note is its own beautiful masterpiece she gives to us.
Valerie, what can we say? I actually start to tear up when I begin typing a comment about her. I am in complete awe when I hear her, see her, and even think about her. Obsession? Of course. Is it healthy? Well, the warmth that she generates in my heart cannot be described. And, the smile I show off whenever I think of her is magical. In this crazy world right now isn't it wonderful to enjoy someone who makes you feel fantastic. Valerie, thanks again for a fabulous reaction.
Her genius is her ability to reveal the beauty inherent in a masterpiece of songwriting like this song by Cole Porter. I think those smiles she gives when singing come from the way she knows that she's singing a masterpiece and if she just let's that come through in her performance it will be perfect. It's a shame that most of the artists she covers are no longer with us because I think people like Cole Porter would be happy with the way Angelina let's their songs shine. They say great minds think alike and I can't help but think that Ella and Porter would see the genius in her singing if they were here.
So glad you mentioned Ella whom, of course, Angelina is deeply channeling here. So glad, too, that Angelina has listened so closely and lovingly to Billie, Sarah, Ella, Dinah, and such among the divinely timeless. And no wonder she's still ripening into the so very,, very fine singer she is yet to be. So wise of her, and so sensitively nuanced her ear, to have chosen their heritage for her own. My god, can you imagine her at twenty? And what treats in store?
Angelina had been listening to those mentioned from infancy thanks to her Grandmother’s love of Jazz. Angelina age two through three scrolled through UA-cam hunting for Jazz artists. At four going on five you can see her in vintage record shop looking for Jazz records. Carrying Frank Sinatra and setting down and playing piano. She has constantly immersed herself in jazz and stated at three she wanted to sing for Simon Cowell.
Two things: The most impressive thing to me is Angelina's ear------------she hears the lyrics but she also hears the notes. She hears the styles of every singer. Listen to the way she did Summertime and the different way she sang Gloomy Sunday. I don't know who she heard doing Summertime but Sunday was definitely influenced by Billie and this song by Ella... Also, she has perfected the art of singing behind the beat--at times waaaay behind the beat as the old Jazz greats did.
Another FANTASTIC reaction video!!!!! Since Angelina is now my only musical obsession, and I only watch reactions to her songs... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep reviewed her covers. And, since you now CLEARLY love Angelina as much as we (fans) do, so... I SUBSCRIBED! Thanks for another uber awesome reaction video!
Angelina is 10 here. Steps up to the mike, delivers perfection in one take. No editing, No auto tune, just her remarkable voice singing this wonderful Cole Porter (1935) song. This is in my Top 5 of Angelina's performances. I never tire of hearing her sing this song. So simple, yet not---the nuances are everywhere. You mentioned how she is influenced by Ella. Here's a great mash up by pa1189j of AJ and Ella performing this song. ua-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/v-deo.html She doesn't have the polish of Ella, but in some ways, I prefer Angelina's version. The audio on this mash up is excellent. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe it's something you can use to allow your students to see how it can be done. As always, thanks for a great reaction to vakker barfot prinsessen. 😊💕
She’s 10 here. My understanding is that she sang this on the open air rooftop of this building as her way to say “Goodbye” to her home, Oslo, before leaving for the USA. It was also a live TV program over there.
Thats wy we called her the new Queen of Jazz 🤗🥰🌞thanks for your new reaction Maybe you can next react to her Live-Performance cry me a river from 2017 where she sings a wonderful jazzy duett with a trombone
Angelina eats tricky for breakfast. My favorite singer possibly close to lunch time ready to take over another song. And so humble a young lady to boot. Thanks for your time and reaction. Thumbs up
I'm totally obsessed by this performance from Angelina for all the reasons you perfectly explained. Technique, integrity, musicality, facial expressions, commitment with the genre and the lyrics. Everything! And, even when she was this young and even younger, she was a great storyteller that takes one in an adventure with every song ♥
I can hear a little Ella Fitzgerald in her voice on this song. Please keep reacting to her. Would love you to react to How Great Thou Art. Angelina was 12 and singing in her lower register.
Another Masterclass reaction and analysis from the teacher. I most enjoy your explanation of the jazz influence on Angelina's musicality. Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing more from you.
Glad you came back to Angelina. Thanks for that lovely reaction. Yes her phrasing is a big thing for sure. And you can hear all those artists she covered in her songs. I see you didn't react to "Song for A" yet. I think you'll love it: ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html It's a lovely warm love ballad, beautiful orchestra backing. Really gorgeous. Nico Cartozio wrote it for her to include it as last track wrapping up his instrumental album.
Yves Harms I 5th that! It really is a beautiful composition. Angelina knocks it out of the park with this one. It sounds like it came from a movie decades ago.
Love your professional insight, and I'd suggest that what Angelina does is beyond interpreting from her own perspective. Her empathetic character allows her to 'become' the person that wrote the lyrics and feel what they felt and sing from their perspective.
Thank you for your insightful reactions. I don't know if you like Adele but Angelina's performance of When We were Young, live in concert, is wonderful with her soulful style.
So great every time one of your reactions to Angelina pops up. Thanks to Angelina this has become one of my favorits as well. In my mind this is a masterpiece. It is stunning that this 10 year old even get the deeper contents of that "major to minor" sequense, and execute it so mindblowing well. In this her voice always remind me of the greate Vera Lynn singing "We`ll meet again" on the radio in my yngest years. It must be something in her voice and the way she deliver this song I guess. Anyway thanks for yet another very nice reaction to our vocalist phenomenon, who spent her childhood jaming around with Ella, Etta, Billie, Frank, Louis . . . . And by the way, she was about to go catch her fligt to the US right after she visited TV 2 for this performance. Not bad to be abel to have the calm and consentration to deliver such a performance, 10 year old.
Hi Valerie! Lately I've been listening a lot to Song for A and La Boheme - this critique is like Beauty reacting to Beauty - you and Angie both have the inner and outer beauty and the brainy kind heart vibration - I always get excited when I see you have reacted to another Angie song - thank you very much!
Norway’s good morning show she singing every time I say goodbye it’s kind of sad for her because she’s leaving for America first thing to stay and she’s not happy about leaving Oslo but it’s for her best interest she knows that so she sings this little bit more passion in my opinion Valerie I really love you I think you’re a great person and I love your reactions I think the Lord for giving Angelina God gave her this a gift from heaven he made her the sang to bring love and peace to this world she said her time to I come to saying for the 🌎 word
She just loves jazz she grew up on it thanks to her grandma love your reaction I wish I could sing I'm 67yrs old so I think I might be to old for it now I'm a crazy Elvis fan and I always say she's my female Elvis I adore her❤️from Denise in Yorkshire England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️😘👋
Valerie welcome back and thanks for another fantastic reaction and the instructive analysis of the talent of this little prodigy, for this emotional interpretation. I particularly loved this song, but this Angelina cover really made me move, with the panorama seen from above, with the skyline behind her, a good guitarist next to her and the floating voice carried by the wind over the city, to cheer up anyone who can listen, with a tone and softness that competes with the version of Ella. Beautiful beyond all possibilities, together with her smile just hinted, I love this little girl ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I have been waiting since your first angelina video for you to react to this one! This is one of my all time favorites. If I had to define perfection in singing, I think it would have to be this video. It is just so smoothly delivered. I always like all the technical info you give us about what angelina is doing. I think in the end there is just some bit of magic that she has that can't be explained, but it is always fun to learn about some of the techniques she uses to make us feel the song she has playing in her head.
Hi Valerie! Thanks for another moment of pleasure listening to you reacting. Always moments of pleasure and moments of your musical wisdom with you Stay safe and healthy, dear. See you in next react Peace & Hugs from Barcelona - Spain ✌💖 P.S.: Yes , I reviewed the video and reaction 😋
So nice to see you again, Valerie. Angelina and her fans need from time to time the analyzing "approval" from vocal coaches, singers/songwriters and other musicians. Its a step forward in her career, because it widens her fan base. Thank you for a wonderful reaction, I really enjoyed this. Hope you will do more reactions of Angelina. Stay safe 👍
Thank you so much for picking up Angelina again. It's been a while since your last reaction. We've missed you. Here are a few suggestions for some of Angelina's more recent content that I'd love to see you react to: "When we were Young" - 13 years old - Adele Cover - outdoor concert - ua-cam.com/video/aHGSsqQOs5I/v-deo.html "What is Life" - 11 years old - First original song - ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html "Shield" - 12 years old - original song - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html "Oslo" original song 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/uxF-KiiSVoA/v-deo.html "A Song for A" - 12 years old (?) - Original composition by Nico Cartosio, written specifically for her to sing and be included as the only vocal selection on his instrumental album - ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html "Above the Water" 13 years old - Full on Electronic Dance Music - written for her to sing - ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html "Wicked Game" - 12 years old - haunting rendition - ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html "This is a Man's World" - 12 years old - ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html
She’s singing this song on good morning Norway she’s singing this song to say goodbye Norway she live in Norway to go to United States for an extended stay and she said because she has to leave her beloved country she even wrote a song about how much she love Norway but she’ll be gone for quite a while in America
One of the most impressive things about this performance is how she completely abandoned her usual style of singing, and yet it sounds completely natural, as if this is how she always sings. In most of her earlier performances (and later ones, as well), she used a lot of vocal fry, a la Billie Holiday, and back-of-the-throat singing (a.k.a., "Kermit voice"), a la Dinah Washington. (Her rendition of "What a Difference a Day Makes" at 8 ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html is mind-blowing.) Even when she covered Ella Fitzgerald's version of "Summrtime" (using her and Louis Armstrong's 1959 musical arrangement) in the finals of _Norske Talenter_ [Norway's Got Talent] ua-cam.com/video/nsBfBuc9d9I/v-deo.html she sang it more like Dinah, with a crazy amount of resonance in the "ah" vowels and diphthongs ("summerTIME", "cotton is HIGH", "your MA is good lookin'", etc.). Here she's covering another Ella song, and this time she adheres very closely to Ella's singing style (no vocal fry, and no "Kermit" at all on "TIME", "goodBYE", etc.). And, as you pointed out, her phrasing on "I cry a little", "spring about it", and especially the final elongated "everytiiiiime we saaaaay goodbyyyyye" is pretty much directly "quoting" Ella. As for all the smiling she's doing, I have to admit, that's so "out of character" for her, I find it a little creepy. [LOL!]
I love this song, and AJ delivers it impeccably. *side note* This is the only performance video I've seen of hers where she appears to be wearing shoes..
A mash up of Angelina and Ella recordings makes me remember mornings on the farm enjoying warm, whole milk (Angelina's voice) and whole cream (Ella Fitzgerald).

@@sarlina1 Who knows? Maybe in her mind (that place she goes when she is singing) she was saying goodbye to her beloved Norway.
That's like butter and honey in a cup of sunshine
_p.s she's actually just 10 years old in this recording from 2016_
Oops I just said 12 years old my bad
No adult can do it better!
Frank Sinatra once said that before he recorded a song he wanted to read the lyrics to understand what the writer was saying and then interpret that story

Oh God. It badly hits my heart. When Angelina starts singing, my tears start falling. Angelina is the healer of desperated people around the world. 👍👍
No one, and I mean no one in the history of jazz singers, has ever sung this song better than Angelina.

Then you’ve never heard of Ella Fitzgerald, here is a link for your edification!

@@nfpnone8248 I hope to hear it live one day
have to agree her voice is so smokey smooth best version i have heard
One of her best. She is from another time.
It's like she absorbs the song into her soul and heart and then releases it in song.
Love how she can, even on the lowest notes, put her vibrato on any note she wants.
Her timing is just... Flaweless...
No, its not! Its DIFFRENT and it sounds flawless!
Thanks for reacting to the vocal diamond - She is 10 years here
This performance really highlights one of the many things I love about her singing. She NEVER rushes. Every line, every note is its own beautiful masterpiece she gives to us.
I think this is a masterclass she does not rush really let's the words breathe out that's amazing for a 10 yr old girl.
Angelina made a statement that when she close her eyes and she goes to the magic place that’s where she gets her music!
Valerie, what can we say? I actually start to tear up when I begin typing a comment about her. I am in complete awe when I hear her, see her, and even think about her. Obsession? Of course.

Angelina has a euphonious voice. Her performance was out of this world.❤
A brilliant reaction.
Thank you!
Angelina 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
Angelina releases a new song tomorrow! Her own Million miles😀
She has listened to jazz from infancy, thanks to her grandmother
Ive never heard anyone with such a pure tone. From her upper register to her lower, it is perfection. What an incredible voice!
Best version of this song ever imo ....
beautiful ... loved listening to her sing this ...
AJ is in a lane of her own that no one is the universe can enter. AJ epitomizes the word ARTIST.
Thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan's song. I have become a big fan of hers. Your reaction is one of the best. Love your technical comments.

Hi, can you react to Angelina Jordan - Diamonds Are Forever (Live)? ❤️❤️✨
I've watched Angelina sing Diamonds Are Forever so many times I can't count them each time she is done I just sat there in a daze
Lovely to see you reacting again to Angelina 🤗 wonderful performance by the barefoot Princess, who was 10 years old here 😉
She is 10 year in this performance.

Angelina eats tricky for breakfast. My favorite singer possibly close to lunch time ready to take over another song. And so humble a young lady to boot. Thanks for your time and reaction. Thumbs up
I'm totally obsessed by this performance from Angelina for all the reasons you perfectly explained.
Technique, integrity, musicality, facial expressions, commitment with the genre and the lyrics. Everything!
And, even when she was this young and even younger, she was a great storyteller that takes one in an adventure with every song ♥
Looking good Valerie, 💗
It would be SO great to have a stereo tap into what she is playing in her head when she sings.
I can hear a little Ella Fitzgerald in her voice on this song. Please keep reacting to her. Would love you to react to How Great Thou Art. Angelina was 12 and singing in her lower register.
Another Masterclass reaction and analysis from the teacher. I most enjoy your explanation of the jazz influence on Angelina's musicality. Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing more from you.
Just stunning..
Her sincerity with regards to music is just unmatched.
Glad you came back to Angelina. Thanks for that lovely reaction.
Yes her phrasing is a big thing for sure. And you can hear all those artists she covered in her songs.
I see you didn't react to "Song for A" yet. I think you'll love it: ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html
It's a lovely warm love ballad, beautiful orchestra backing. Really gorgeous. Nico Cartozio wrote it for her to include it as last track wrapping up his instrumental album.
i second this.
@@lilsun724 I third this 😊 But we should add that the lyrics are from a Robert Burns poem from 1783. It puts the performance better in context.

I Love this preformance.
Its so beutiful.
I am having a Valerie and Angelina recap…its just started to rain here .. I should be baking and painting(water colour) …💛✨
Hello Bravo 💓💓💓💓👍🌹

You can also understand the words.
Hi Valerie! Thanks for another moment of pleasure listening to you reacting. Always moments of pleasure and moments of your musical wisdom with you
Stay safe and healthy, dear.

Peace & Hugs from Barcelona - Spain ✌💖
P.S.: Yes , I reviewed the video and reaction 😋
i also love your reactions.. more power we will support Angelina Jordan.. from fellow reactor.. :)
So nice to see you again, Valerie. Angelina and her fans need from time to time the analyzing "approval" from vocal coaches, singers/songwriters and other musicians. Its a step forward in her career, because it widens her fan base. Thank you for a wonderful reaction, I really enjoyed this. Hope you will do more reactions of Angelina. Stay safe 👍
Such a beautiful song but a beautiful singer singing it !!! Very classic
Love 💕 your reactions, not usually a fan of “voice coaches” but love your personal insights and technical analysis. 👌🏻
Thank you so much!

What a great reaction. We all love the way she interprets the songs she chooses to sing.
They were that makes me think about enjoying it is prodigy you can’t blame them you can enjoy them
She’s singing this song on good morning Norway she’s singing this song to say goodbye Norway she live in Norway to go to United States for an extended stay and she said because she has to leave her beloved country she even wrote a song about how much she love Norway but she’ll be gone for quite a while in America
❤️❤️✨
Love your reaction ♥ .thumbs up 👍
Please hear she sing Love Story and Moon River.
=) from Norway
One of the most impressive things about this performance is how she completely abandoned her usual style of singing, and yet it sounds completely natural, as if this is how she always sings.
In most of her earlier performances (and later ones, as well), she used a lot of vocal fry, a la Billie Holiday, and back-of-the-throat singing (a.k.a., "Kermit voice"), a la Dinah Washington. (Her rendition of "What a Difference a Day Makes" at 8 ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html is mind-blowing.) Even when she covered Ella Fitzgerald's version of "Summrtime" (using her and Louis Armstrong's 1959 musical arrangement) in the finals of _Norske Talenter_ [Norway's Got Talent] ua-cam.com/video/nsBfBuc9d9I/v-deo.html she sang it more like Dinah, with a crazy amount of resonance in the "ah" vowels and diphthongs ("summerTIME", "cotton is HIGH", "your MA is good lookin'", etc.).
Here she's covering another Ella song, and this time she adheres very closely to Ella's singing style (no vocal fry, and no "Kermit" at all on "TIME", "goodBYE", etc.). And, as you pointed out, her phrasing on "I cry a little", "spring about it", and especially the final elongated "everytiiiiime we saaaaay goodbyyyyye" is pretty much directly "quoting" Ella.
As for all the smiling she's doing, I have to admit, that's so "out of character" for her, I find it a little creepy. [LOL!]
I love this song, and AJ delivers it impeccably. *side note* This is the only performance video I've seen of hers where she appears to be wearing shoes..
Nope. She is barefoot. It's the microphone wire that makes it look like she is wearing a flip-flop (sandal) on her left foot.
:-)) Still love your reaction :-))
