In Norways got talent she was 7 and now like 13. She sang Billie Holidays Gloomy sunday in audition and then she sang Im a fool to want you and Shot me down.
So glad you guys finally did this one! I encourage everyone to go check out her stuff. Since Angelina is new to you and maybe some of your followers, here's my quick bio on her: *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born in Jan 2006. She is currently 13 (barely 9 in this performance) - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through UA-cam videos and studied all the greats from Jazz history. - Angelina always sings barefoot..... When Angelina was 6, she was traveling and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public she is barefoot. (that's a shortened version. the full story is more touching than the way I have told it here) - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the money, the 8 year old replied "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 100 songs over the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, and many more. All of which heard her doing covers of their songs and were blown away. - Angelina has written three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a magical world in my head", and you can hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Thank you, Rusty. I always appreciate your concise summaries of the wonder that is Angelina, for new reactors & listeners. In fact, I look forward to your posts.
Angelina Jordan has destroyed me. I've been listening and watching her for a couple years now and cannot go a single day without her. There are probably 100+ videos of her out there. Dear Lord, you have to hear everything she has done. She sang Billie Holiday "Gloomy Sunday" at age 7 and made the judges cry on Norway's Got Talent. She blew them away on "The View" on her first trip to the U.S. She is considered Norway's national treasure. You have sooo much to learn grasshoppers!
This was not finished project. You have a lot of listening. She won Norways Got Talent when she was 7 years old. Now she is on AGT Champions 2 She got golden buzzer so is auto to the finals. She does Bohemian Rgapsody, her version. She sang some acapella and the audience was pin drop silent. She hasn't had a lot of US exposure so this is spreading. She has sung for Quincy Jones birthday at the O2 Arena in London and the Nobel ceremony. She has written a book and her originals
Oh grasshopper did you just age yourself LOL. She is a National Treasure. I too cannot get enough of her, starting at age 6 apparently on tour giving her sneakers away to somebody without and then I'm at a loss for words. Anyways back to more Angelina we all know the story by now! Wish I would be on this Earth long enough to see her grow into what she is going to grow into.
I've followed you guys for over a year now and love your reactions. I'm so glad you finally relented and checked out Angelina. Even now she is one of the best singers on the planet and she's only 13. The age is almost irrelevant with her. She said she only thinks about her true age when she sees her passport. She will always impress you. Rusty has dropped in a pretty complete bio in the comments below. She has a huge following and hasn't even been commercialized yet. I hope you will check out more of her performances, especially those on her own channel which are mostly done in her home studio.
finally you react to Angelina... she was only 9 years old in that song. she is now 13 and has many nice covers. She has also written three songs herself, like "Shield." I hope you will listen to more of Angelina Jordan, she is amazing.
Yaaasss!! Finally! Have not seen the video yet, but love Angelina and have waited for this 💜 lets see how you feel.. Edit: so many good songs in her youtube channel, she is the real deal and does many adjustements her self
HEY PEOPLE, LAY OFF THE CRITICISM FOR THEM CUTTING THE VIDEO! I have followed them for years and they use to play full length videos with excellent commentary (especially from Marco [the guy with the hat] who has studied music. They got a lot of subscribers because they did an excellent job. Unfortunately, many of their reaction videos got taken down and they got copyright strikes, so they have to protect their channel. People have to follow UA-cam rules; so people either interrupt constantly (which people complain about), cut the videos (which they have done )or distort them (worse choice), etc. Because of this , they now rarely do reaction videos to singers, which I and others miss a lot. If you look at their past reactions, they have done great reviews of great singers like Dimash, So Hyang, Morissette, Hua Chen You, Pentatonix, Home Free, etc. Marco spent the entire second half of this video recognizing Angelina's genius and performance. So give them some slack!
Angelina put anger, hope, defiance, desperation and deep insatiable desire in her singing. That figure of an old man at the beginning is the author of that song, Screaming Jay Hawkins who wrote at the age of 26. If you guys ever heard the CCR version, you will agree with me that boredom was the dominant emotion.
She has an authentic jazz voice which is where she started. She is experimenting with different genres as she is growing musically. She is amazing and I appreciate that she does not try to fit every high note and all the bells and whistles into a song that doesn't call for it.
It was a great reaction overall except the skipping part when your playing the video. I have watch the video a hundred times but for those who first time to see it thru your channel it's a kinda off. It was a Screamin Jay Hawkins version as you can see the face of great Screamin Jay on the mug she's holding at the start of the video. And btw that is the original one. That thing is hard to cover but she did it like it was nothing, superbly. And with a little touch of her own style. Angelina is an old soul. She's a jazz singer mainly but can do almost any genre. She's tagged as the reincarnation of the great artists of before. She's very much into music. Her music I.Q. at a very young age is insane. She do the arrangement of most if not all of her performances and can play a number of instruments. Well hope you will try to take a look into some of her stuff. This I Put A Spell On You cover is just the tip of the iceberg.
I think the best thing to do in order to understand this girls genius, is to start with her first audition when she was just 7. She is a very old soul .... a jazz singer... and one that will only get better
Yesss!! I love Angelina's singing so much. You should react to Born to die or A million years... she's phenomenal. Thank you so much ❤ She always does her own thing.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reactions & please continue to review more of Angelina Jordan's music, and see how just amazing this young lady is!!!
I'm so glad you got around to reacting to Angelina Jordan Astar. People recommend this song first, I think, because it is so dramatic, rather shocking for such a little girl, just blows everyone away, & gets them hooked. She does put a spell on you. Nobody has words enough to describe her. One of the beautiful things about her is her generosity. She is willing to share with her adoring public even some songs that are not very well-produced, which really allows us to track her progress as a singer. And yes, jazz is her first love. I hope she never deserts it. I'd love to see the great classics rediscovered through her. She is fearless, willing to tackle anything she wants, even Whitney Houston & Queen. Nobody can cover Freddie Mercury, but I think even he would approve of her treatment of The Show Must Go On. When you listen to A Million Years Ago, you will notice that she gets a couple of words wrong as she reads the lyrics. Just keep in mind that English is her third language, after Norwegian and Persian/Iranian. Her mother is Iranian & Japanese. I know nothing about her father other than his name, Gerry Christian Slaatman, or Slattman. Her Iranian grandmother is a respected painter in Norway.
HEY PEOPLE, LAY OFF THE CRITICISM FOR THEM CUTTING THE VIDEO! You know nothing about the background. I and others have followed them for years and they use to play full length videos with EXCELLENT commentary (especially from Marco [the guy with the hat] who has studied music. They got a lot of subscribers because they did an excellent job on so many singers Unfortunately, many of their reaction videos got taken down and they got UA-cam copyright strikes, so they have to protect their channel. People have to follow UA-cam rules; so people either interrupt constantly (which people complain about), cut the videos (which they have done )or distort them (worse choice because the music/voice is nothing like the singer. ), etc. Because of this , they basically do not do reaction videos to singers, which I and their subscribers miss a lot. If you look at their past reactions, they have done great reviews of great singers like Dimash, So Hyang, Morissette, Hua Chen You, Pentatonix, Home Free, etc. Marco spent the entire second half of this video recognizing Angelina's genius and performance. So give them some slack!
I'm so so glad you finally got to her. I knew you would be blown away. Please please do more of her. She is getting better and better as she gets older (wow, "older", she's only 13 now, lol)
Check out the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. She was copying that one, rather than later covers. Before watching her more recent stuff (she was 9 here), even more amazing was her audition on Norway's Got Talent, where she sang a Billie Holiday song, "Gloomy Sunday" at 7 yrs old, and captured some of Holiday's mannerisms. Similarly, on Holland's got talent, a 9yr old Amira Willighagen stunned everyone by singing an opera song she learned from UA-cam. Both she and Angelina won their competitions.
Why did you skip parts of this? You need to hear the while piece! I always watch reaction videos that do this song and I'm disappointed that you only did highlights.
You guys are doing disservice to A.J and to your viewers by cutting out the video. It's almost like you are dismissing her performance because of of previous bias to age . Her fans are trying to tell you that this girl transcends all ages and several genres of music and by not playing that song to it's entirety makes me wonder if you only did a reaction to get subscriptions from her massive fan base.
@@arceliedunn2022 You dolt know these reactors. They have gotten copyright strikes for playing entire videos, so they have to protect their channel. I've followed them for years and they re excellent. Unfortunately they rarely do reaction videos because of videos being taken down and copyright strikes.
Angelina is fast becoming one of the finest jazz singers. Watch her sing the songs of Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Holiday etc: as far as the video is concerned you watched a heavily edited version. Her version of Gershwin's Summertime is brilliant as is her version of Ella Fitzgerald's 'Every time we say say goodbye.'
I discovered Angelina about a year ago, she was in full beast mode for this song. She was age 9 in this song, check out the first time in a recording studio at age 6 singing "I Who Have Nothing". She is 15 as of 2021 and has been writing her own songs for a while now.
Leo Caliendo super late... but they have to have cuts in their videos cause of the EU. They live in Europe and they are way more strict then USA. They made a video talking about all their copyright strikes.
I've been waiting so long for this, for you to react to her. So happy you did. Yes, of course you should check out more by her, she is a legend it the making. She has something that was missing in mysic if today. And yes she eon Norways got talent when she was 8, she is 13 now. She did go viral almost instantly. You are just a bit slow. She did only sing old songs in the talent show, she is an old soul. It's what she does best.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this reaction ❤️ I've been waiting for you two to react to Angelina Jordan ❤️ She was 9 years old in this video and she is 13 years old now. Angelina has many covers on her UA-cam channel and can sing any genre. Angelina's first love is jazz. Please react to more Angelina Jordan ❤️ It may surprise you but Angelina auditioned for Norway's Got Talent singing Gloomy Sunday. Every song that she performed on the show is a classic. Check them out. You will be pleasantly surprised. Angelina auditioned at the age of 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8.
Angelina has a unique and natural talent. She impresses without even trying. At only 13 now, she is producing such amazing music. You need to watch others - Born to Die or A Million Years Ago, or Fly me to the Moon, or Feeling Good...I could go on.
Hi guys. Thanks for reacting, finally, to Angelina Jordan. I've been watching her since she was 7 years old and she won Norways Got Talent singing very old Billie Holiday blues songs. A couple of videos by her that I can recommend are... A Million Years Ago ( better than Adele!!! ) and Everytime We Say Goodbye... I personally believe that she is the most talented youngster around at the moment. She takes a song and completely makes it her own... You really should react to more of her.... PLEASE!!!
5 років тому+2
Angulina can sing anything. If you pull her name up on utube no matter what it is it will be extraordinary. There's one or two early songs where audience noise is a bit bad but never because she was off. Shes allways astonishing.
Born to die and It’s a Man’s World are my favorites but I enjoy all her covers and her originals... She has an amazing voice and you can always hear and feel the emotions of all her songs
Thank you soooooooo much, I love Angelina to death :) She is amazingly talented and she brings that old beautiful music back to life. In this video she was like 8 years old and this song is from the 50's of last century :) Please try her A million years ago Adele's cover. Karolina/Poland
THIS is probably the MOST entertaining reaction I have watched of this AJ cover! Just the fact that they started out so skeptical and bemused then as soon as Angelina opens her mouth you can just see their heads spin 😄Its always so satisfying to see. Lol. Loved it. Two thumbs up lol
verry nice guys now your official get spelled and must be fans forever ;)"" You just discovers one of the best female singers on present time. her ability to make each song to her own is unique you will see if you check out her other songs. all best to you guys.
And the musicians with her; I mean, she needs the very best you can get. And here they are...And, yes, she makes old songs her own, her very own. She sings them anew. Finally, she honoured the original version in the voice of Screamin' Jay Hawkins by holding a candle with his face on it. Respect.
In fact the song is much nearer to the original - listen to the original version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Angelina's carrrying a candle with his picture in the beginning. I really hope this girl won't get "watered down" by popular music and overproduction. Her voice is made for Jazz!
She is at her best when she is only accompanied by a guitar ( Ivan or Egil). Her "a capella of I'm a fool to want you" at the audition when she was 7 is also fantastic.
Her mom has put the breaks on and has not signed her to anyone even Disney wanted her and her mom said no. She stayed in Norway went to regular school and took vocal lessons. However, I have heard that they were moving to LA to pursue more vocal lessons. She wears no shoes because of profound experience in India with a street girl when she was 6 or 7 and gave her own shoes to her. Now she doesn't wear shoes while singing for those children, she even wrote a book about it and it was published.
Listening to almost one hundred diffent songs she did, she is got a wonderful team of good musicians. Also she always has her own dominance of her own signature. It is not the style of the musicians, it is her style. Every time.
9:48, The songs that she sang on the talent show that she was in, which was Norway's Got Talent, were the opposite of "generic". She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday". Then she proceeded to sing more classic songs which were "I'm a fool to want you", "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "Summertime".
Actually y’all wanna go way back to 6 years old her singing (I who have nothing) or(here comes the sun) even some beautiful Elvis Presley classics & let’s not forget her own originals. very much class.
Welcome to the world of Angelina. There are about one hundred different covers on you tube, and personally I think there are less than 5 that is not brilliant. The best are on her official and cover channel, but there are also some amazing concert videos from Boris Pavelonski. Even if he is not a professional he has managed to capture some extraordinary moments. So when reacting to a recommendation try first the ones on her own channels, if not they are probably on the channel of Boris. I hope you will do a lot of reactions in the weeks to come
this song is much better and cleaner -for some reason your video actually skipped part of song. anjelina plays violin,guitar,piano and flute in addition to writing own music.her 4 songs in norways got talent were 2 billie holiday (gloomy sunday and i'm a fool to want you) nancy sinatra(BANG,BANG)and "summertime' by george gershwin in finale.the competition was over after 1st song...
Angelina has the brightest future ever The truth is we - humanity - does not look now for the brightest future ever - except at the moments when Angelina sings - then I feel we have a bright future Angelina will bring us with her - Superman took Lois Lane flying
She won Norway got talent in 2014 at the age of 7!!! .. Here she is 10 I believe...u shud take a listen to her performances Fr that season... She JUST sang on AGT last week and sang Bohemian Rhapsody... UNBELIEVABLE, truly ... she totally made it her own. Def worth watching Freddy wud b proud. (Age 13) She has her own site and she can sing in so many diff styles....listen to STAY, BACK TO BACK, BORN TO DIE, GLOOMY SUNDAY. anything actually U won't b disappointed She sang BANG BANG. SUMMERTIME and more....songs of the 60's when she was competing in "Norway's got talent" She participated w/Quincy Jones....sang at a charity for Kate Hudson, the movie actress....sang a song one yr for the Nobel Pruze ceremony and a few other prestigious events.... She is quite well known but I am positive that after participating in AGT (which is still ongoing) she will b recognized that much more. She absolutely won the audience over, however, that being said, Marcelito Pomoy is also participating alongside her. His first song of course was The Prayer. .... shall b very interesting .... Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs and all jazz
Try Young and Beautiful, Stay, A Million Years Ago, Valerie, Unchanged Melody or The Show Must Go On covered by Angelina. All shows different sides of her voice. She sings and records from home as a hobby as her parents want her to go to school and grow up before she pursues her singing
Came here from Dimash..Glad you guys stumbled onto AJ, but please keeep goign!! She, like Dimash is just even more mind blowing the further down the rabbit hole that you fall with her.
She competed in NORWAYS GOT TALENT when she was 7. She won. She sang. SUMMERTIME. BANG BANG . GLOOMY SUNDAY She just turned 15. Lives the States now. Came out w/her own song just recently called MILLION MILES Wrote it for her grandpa who recently passed away The part in here where she was writing on a piece of paper....it was the score. . She "kindly asked" for changes. The guy reading the revised scored "kindly agreed" to her changes. Shit 9 yrs old making her own changes She has a record deal now. She has a lot of songs out on vids now. Every reaction people r stunned at how well she sings. Most covers she does they all say her version is better than the original Go and listen on ur own w/out doing reactions. Try STAY. A MILLION YRS AGO. BACK TO BLACK. I HAVE NOTHING. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. YELLOW BRICK ROAD Any song she sings will amaze you. Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs 2 all
Check out her songs from Norways Got Talent, she was just 7 years old turning 8 there you will be mesmerized. and She did not do "generic" modern songs - you'd be surprised what her song choices were :D In this song I think she is 10 or 11
Oh, just one more thing. You mention her sounding a bit off key sometimes. There is a time-honored technique in jazz singing, especially from the '40s, '50s, & '60s, of hitting a note slightly flat, then gliding up to the proper pitch. It gives more "color" & interest to the song, makes it sound more jazzy. I think you can hear it sometimes in Sinatra's recordings. I'm not sure that she does that, but it could be. Will need to listen for it. She knows her jazz!
The song is from “screaming jay Hawkins “the guy on the mug 50-60 yrs old Song .discovered the reason. She performs barefoot makes me love her more I believe she is an angel
Why is it so cut up. If you didn't do this you've missed half of the song. She started listening and singing jazz when she was one and a half years. She found music on youtube, then the songs ... acapella, I'm a Fool to Want You 1st elimination round Norway's Got Talent, age 7 (she was 8 when she won) with instruments, first official competition round Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holliday
Her first two auditions Angelina sang Billie Holidays versions of I’m Fool to Want You a cappella, then Gloomy Sunday at only 7 years of age, left them crying, 😂 it’s funny all reactions are very similar, it is incredible, but true, it is a movie in the making, she’s fenomenal, she has a Chanel and you can play her videos , she has all the classics, her style, her beautiful voice, good reaction guys!
I kind of got the feeling that you think her singing style is merely copying..... believe me when I say what you heard is her original sound.... she is a natural jazz and blues artist with a very old soul.... her voice is authentic and her style is her own choice
She has newer versions when she's older that aren't so hard on her larynx or harsh. Find her on Norway's Got Talent. Her first elimination song was I'm a Fool to Want You, acapella. She was 7 years old. The next was "Gloomy Sunday". She won the competition at 8 years old. She says she started singing when she was young, "1 and a half years old. When asked what was her first song she says, "I started with jazz." Her mother says she found music on UA-cam and chose what she liked. By 12 she had written 3 of her own songs. She also studies several instruments. The first time I heard this iteration of I Put a Spell, I stopped part the way through. It sounded like I was being cursed. Now I listen to her every day. Find her tribute version of Natural Woman she did shortly after Aretha Franklin died.
She's the best on this planet and she's only 13 years old she is done many covers and you'd be hard-pressed to find one that isn't better than the original. Do yourselves a favor and check out her version of summertime which she performed in the Norway's Got Talent when she was either seven or eight years old I'm not sure.... mind blowing really good
Plz, don't compare a talentless PERSON, like Billy, what ever it's last name is, to A LEGEND IN THE MAKING, ANGELINA JORDAN!! BILLIE, WILL BE A ONE HIT WONDER!! ANGELINA, WILL BE A LEGEND 4 MANY GENERATIONS!! THIS GIRL HAS MILLIONS OF FOLLOWER'S & SHE DOES NOT NEED HELLYWOOD 2 MAKE IT BIG!! ANGELINA, SPEAKS 3 LANGUAGES, PLAYS 4 INSTRUMENTS & WRITES HER OWN MUSIC!! SHE HAS MORE TALENT IN HER LITTLE FINGER THAN ALL THE TALENTLESS HIP HOP LOSERS ON THE RADIO
I agree with you that Angelina has more talent in her little finger than all the "talentless hip hop losers on the radio". However, your paint brush is too broad because there are other talented singers around, I follow the careers of several of them on UA-cam.Let me name them. First of all opera and classical singing -Amira Willighagen (bn 2004), Laura Bretan, (bn 2002), Patricia Janeckova (bn 1998) and Sterre van Boxtel (bn2005), and then Popular music - Charlotte Summers (bn 2005), Connie Talbot (bn 2000), Courtney Hadwin (Bn 2004), Jayden Rilee (bn 2006) and Krisia Todorova (bn 2004). Each of them have their strengths and on most occasions I find them pleasant to listen to. However, having said that, Angelina is by far the only one who constantly surprises me with her ability and has never disappointed me with her performance. She is truly "one of a kind".
Three more recent recommendations..two from a year ago, when she was 12, "Born to Die" and "It's a Man's World" and recently released, "Welcome to My World". You'll see distinct styles. She kills all of them...actually she kills everything she chooses to sing.
Crazy piece coming out of a little girl! I don’t think you should have cut out that much of the video.... :) Btw, the version is rather true to the original, Screaming Jays Hawkins version, and not Nina’s as you probably know.
On Norways got talent she sang nothing songs from the late 30’s to the mid 60’s, she won the show at 8 receiving 46% of the vote out of the final 10 contestants.
She won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old...And now you know why this was the most requested! (She was 9 here)Thank you...finally! She has so much more and each time you hear her you will be amazed! How about reacting to her 'It's A Mans World'...Oslo ?(12) And/or 'Young And Beautiful.(13) Thank you!!! She loves jazz! Her parents did not want her to lose her childhood, and they are strict about how much she does. They have turned down like 90% of offers. She is 13 now.
Just a little advice, and I know I speak for all the Angelina's fans here when I say: Don't skip ANY parts on Angelina's videos, even though I really loved your comments and appreciate the fact that you were blown away by that, still, it willl not be a healthy practice for your channel, believe me, nobody will be bothered by watching her entire videos over and over since I can assure you we have watched this video with so many times with other reaction videos, that I have lost count and I can tell you that based on the comments I have read so many times from so many of her fans and I've come to realize that I'm getting familiar with a lot of names from her fans, names that I can see in many other videos over and over and I'll tell you they are hundreds of videos played hundreds of times, so please help us help you with your channel and instead of having maybe around 3 minutes or less of her video after cutting off so many parts to make it shorter and 10 minutes talking, I'd rather want this to be the other way around and I bet is not just the way I feel but many others as well, just a positive thought for you guys, you will see the difference.
I know where you come from, when you say you're not fans of child singers. They often have great talent, but haven't learned to use the talent to expand and transform the songs into great music. Angelina Jordan seems completely free of such limitations. She's a kid, and she's a singer, but she's *not* a kid singer. She's a singer, period. That recording was made when she was nine. She's thirteen, now, and has developed further as a singer. Undoubtedly, she will continue to learn and develop. However, even at nine she had made the transition from "kid who sings" to *singer*. So, welcome to the wonderfully confusing paradox that is Angelina Jordan! You'll probably never make sense of it. I haven't, and don't expect to. That does nothing to reduce the enjoyment of her voice, though.
It was exactly like the original. The man on the candle in the beginning of the video is Screamin Jay Hawkins who is the original of this song. It was the Ode to him not Nina Simone
It'a about time you heard Angelina. What a superb talent!! Unfortunately there were many little parts missing throughout this tape. Maybe you did this because of copy rights or UA-cam! Welcome to the enchanting world of Angelina Jordan!!!!!
There is something in the water these kids are drinking... unbelievable !! and you are absolutely right... stay true to your own style and passions because main stream modern music is not its all cracked up to be.
In Norways got talent she was 7 and now like 13. She sang Billie Holidays Gloomy sunday in audition and then she sang Im a fool to want you and Shot me down.
So glad you guys finally did this one! I encourage everyone to go check out her stuff.
Since Angelina is new to you and maybe some of your followers, here's my quick bio on her:
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born in Jan 2006. She is currently 13 (barely 9 in this performance)
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through UA-cam videos and studied all the greats from Jazz history.
- Angelina always sings barefoot..... When Angelina was 6, she was traveling and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public she is barefoot. (that's a shortened version. the full story is more touching than the way I have told it here)
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the money, the 8 year old replied "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 100 songs over the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, and many more. All of which heard her doing covers of their songs and were blown away.
- Angelina has written three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a magical world in my head", and you can hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Thank you for this comment...learned a lot! 🌹
Thank you, Rusty. I always appreciate your concise summaries of the wonder that is Angelina, for new reactors & listeners. In fact, I look forward to your posts.
@@karolyn8644 Thank You! That is a nice thing to read :)
Ditto what Karolyn said. Thank you Rusty.
You missed the picture she held up at the front of the video of Screaming Jay Hawkins the original artist who inspired this version
Angelina Jordan has destroyed me. I've been listening and watching her for a couple years now and cannot go a single day without her. There are probably 100+ videos of her out there. Dear Lord, you have to hear everything she has done. She sang Billie Holiday "Gloomy Sunday" at age 7 and made the judges cry on Norway's Got Talent. She blew them away on "The View" on her first trip to the U.S. She is considered Norway's national treasure. You have sooo much to learn grasshoppers!
This was not finished project. You have a lot of listening. She won Norways Got Talent when she was 7 years old. Now she is on AGT Champions 2
She got golden buzzer so is auto to the finals.
She does Bohemian Rgapsody, her version. She sang some acapella and the audience was pin drop silent. She hasn't had a lot of US exposure so this is spreading. She has sung for Quincy Jones birthday at the O2 Arena in London and the Nobel ceremony. She has written a book and her originals
Oh grasshopper did you just age yourself LOL. She is a National Treasure. I too cannot get enough of her, starting at age 6 apparently on tour giving her sneakers away to somebody without and then I'm at a loss for words. Anyways back to more Angelina we all know the story by now! Wish I would be on this Earth long enough to see her grow into what she is going to grow into.
I've followed you guys for over a year now and love your reactions. I'm so glad you finally relented and checked out Angelina. Even now she is one of the best singers on the planet and she's only 13. The age is almost irrelevant with her. She said she only thinks about her true age when she sees her passport. She will always impress you. Rusty has dropped in a pretty complete bio in the comments below. She has a huge following and hasn't even been commercialized yet. I hope you will check out more of her performances, especially those on her own channel which are mostly done in her home studio.
finally you react to Angelina... she was only 9 years old in that song.
she is now 13 and has many nice covers. She has also written three songs herself, like "Shield."
I hope you will listen to more of Angelina Jordan, she is amazing.
Yaaasss!! Finally! Have not seen the video yet, but love Angelina and have waited for this 💜 lets see how you feel..
Edit: so many good songs in her youtube channel, she is the real deal and does many adjustements her self
HEY PEOPLE, LAY OFF THE CRITICISM FOR THEM CUTTING THE VIDEO! I have followed them for years and they use to play full length videos with excellent commentary (especially from Marco [the guy with the hat] who has studied music. They got a lot of subscribers because they did an excellent job. Unfortunately, many of their reaction videos got taken down and they got copyright strikes, so they have to protect their channel. People have to follow UA-cam rules; so people either interrupt constantly (which people complain about), cut the videos (which they have done )or distort them (worse choice), etc. Because of this , they now rarely do reaction videos to singers, which I and others miss a lot. If you look at their past reactions, they have done great reviews of great singers like Dimash, So Hyang, Morissette, Hua Chen You, Pentatonix, Home Free, etc. Marco spent the entire second half of this video recognizing Angelina's genius and performance. So give them some slack!
Angelina put anger, hope, defiance, desperation and deep insatiable desire in her singing. That figure of an old man at the beginning is the author of that song, Screaming Jay Hawkins who wrote at the age of 26.
If you guys ever heard the CCR version, you will agree with me that boredom was the dominant emotion.
hell yes! finnally! I love Angelina and u have to listen to more of her, she's amazing!!
A song is not really sung until Angelina sings it .she is the Angel from Norway that doe not just cover a song she prefects them like no other can.
She has an authentic jazz voice which is where she started. She is experimenting with different genres as she is growing musically. She is amazing and I appreciate that she does not try to fit every high note and all the bells and whistles into a song that doesn't call for it.
It was a great reaction overall except the skipping part when your playing the video. I have watch the video a hundred times but for those who first time to see it thru your channel it's a kinda off.
It was a Screamin Jay Hawkins version as you can see the face of great Screamin Jay on the mug she's holding at the start of the video. And btw that is the original one. That thing is hard to cover but she did it like it was nothing, superbly. And with a little touch of her own style.
Angelina is an old soul. She's a jazz singer mainly but can do almost any genre. She's tagged as the reincarnation of the great artists of before. She's very much into music. Her music I.Q. at a very young age is insane. She do the arrangement of most if not all of her performances and can play a number of instruments.
Well hope you will try to take a look into some of her stuff. This I Put A Spell On You cover is just the tip of the iceberg.
Tip of the iceberg guys. She's one of a kind. She is my playlist. Keep reacting to other of her amazing presence. 👏😍
Wow! Thank you! She is an unique child, I cried when I knew the story why she take off her shoes at any concert.
I think the best thing to do in order to understand this girls genius, is to start with her first audition when she was just 7. She is a very old soul .... a jazz singer... and one that will only get better
Yesss!! I love Angelina's singing so much. You should react to Born to die or A million years... she's phenomenal. Thank you so much ❤ She always does her own thing.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reactions & please continue to review more of Angelina Jordan's music, and see how just amazing this young lady is!!!
I'm so glad you got around to reacting to Angelina Jordan Astar. People recommend this song first, I think, because it is so dramatic, rather shocking for such a little girl, just blows everyone away, & gets them hooked. She does put a spell on you. Nobody has words enough to describe her. One of the beautiful things about her is her generosity. She is willing to share with her adoring public even some songs that are not very well-produced, which really allows us to track her progress as a singer. And yes, jazz is her first love. I hope she never deserts it. I'd love to see the great classics rediscovered through her.
She is fearless, willing to tackle anything she wants, even Whitney Houston & Queen. Nobody can cover Freddie Mercury, but I think even he would approve of her treatment of The Show Must Go On.
When you listen to A Million Years Ago, you will notice that she gets a couple of words wrong as she reads the lyrics. Just keep in mind that English is her third language, after Norwegian and Persian/Iranian. Her mother is Iranian & Japanese. I know nothing about her father other than his name, Gerry Christian Slaatman, or Slattman. Her Iranian grandmother is a respected painter in Norway.
HEY PEOPLE, LAY OFF THE CRITICISM FOR THEM CUTTING THE VIDEO! You know nothing about the background. I and others have followed them for years and they use to play full length videos with EXCELLENT commentary (especially from Marco [the guy with the hat] who has studied music. They got a lot of subscribers because they did an excellent job on so many singers Unfortunately, many of their reaction videos got taken down and they got UA-cam copyright strikes, so they have to protect their channel. People have to follow UA-cam rules; so people either interrupt constantly (which people complain about), cut the videos (which they have done )or distort them (worse choice because the music/voice is nothing like the singer. ), etc. Because of this , they basically do not do reaction videos to singers, which I and their subscribers miss a lot.

So give them some slack!
I'm so so glad you finally got to her. I knew you would be blown away. Please please do more of her. She is getting better and better as she gets older (wow, "older", she's only 13 now, lol)
Check out the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. She was copying that one, rather than later covers. Before watching her more recent stuff (she was 9 here), even more amazing was her audition on Norway's Got Talent, where she sang a Billie Holiday song, "Gloomy Sunday" at 7 yrs old, and captured some of Holiday's mannerisms. Similarly, on Holland's got talent, a 9yr old Amira Willighagen stunned everyone by singing an opera song she learned from UA-cam. Both she and Angelina won their competitions.
You're right about who she is channeling, and she even teases us with his picture at 1:45! Shows how deep she is into the genre.
Why did you skip parts of this? You need to hear the while piece! I always watch reaction videos that do this song and I'm disappointed that you only did highlights.
You guys are doing disservice to A.J and to your viewers by cutting out the video. It's almost like you are dismissing her performance because of of previous bias to age . Her fans are trying to tell you that this girl transcends all ages and several genres of music and by not playing that song to it's entirety makes me wonder if you only did a reaction to get subscriptions from her massive fan base.
The whole thing, as normally presented, is perfect.
True.
@@arceliedunn2022 You dolt know these reactors. They have gotten copyright strikes for playing entire videos, so they have to protect their channel. I've followed them for years and they re excellent. Unfortunately they rarely do reaction videos because of videos being taken down and copyright strikes.
Angelina is fast becoming one of the finest jazz singers. Watch her sing the songs of Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Holiday etc: as far as the video is concerned you watched a heavily edited version. Her version of Gershwin's Summertime is brilliant as is her version of Ella Fitzgerald's 'Every time we say say goodbye.'
her fly me to the moon and feeling good are REALLY good!!! she auditioned with gloomy sunday at 7! she is who she is~~ LOVE her!!!
I discovered Angelina about a year ago, she was in full beast mode for this song. She was age 9 in this song, check out the first time in a recording studio at age 6 singing "I Who Have Nothing". She is 15 as of 2021 and has been writing her own songs for a while now.
This was a cut version of the song, it was weird. Listen to the song in its entirety
oh it was more than enough...she ruined this part hate to have to sit through whole song
Leo Caliendo super late... but they have to have cuts in their videos cause of the EU. They live in Europe and they are way more strict then USA. They made a video talking about all their copyright strikes.
@@haroldk724 Thank god, you don't have to sit through it; you can just f*%k off, and not have to look for these reactions.
Today, your life changed for the better.
This was just the tip of the vocal iceberg, guys! Just explore a bit more...great stuff!
you need to Watch: a million years ago!!
I've been waiting so long for this, for you to react to her.
So happy you did.
Yes, of course you should check out more by her, she is a legend it the making.
She has something that was missing in mysic if today.
And yes she eon Norways got talent when she was 8, she is 13 now. She did go viral almost instantly.
You are just a bit slow.
She did only sing old songs in the talent show, she is an old soul. It's what she does best.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this reaction ❤️ I've been waiting for you two to react to Angelina Jordan ❤️ She was 9 years old in this video and she is 13 years old now. Angelina has many covers on her UA-cam channel and can sing any genre. Angelina's first love is jazz. Please react to more Angelina Jordan ❤️ It may surprise you but Angelina auditioned for Norway's Got Talent singing Gloomy Sunday. Every song that she performed on the show is a classic. Check them out. You will be pleasantly surprised. Angelina auditioned at the age of 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8.
Angelina has a unique and natural talent. She impresses without even trying. At only 13 now, she is producing such amazing music. You need to watch others - Born to Die or A Million Years Ago, or Fly me to the Moon, or Feeling Good...I could go on.
Angelina is an artist who weaves tapestries of music with her beguiling voice!
I would suggest you listen the following by her; A Million Years Ago, Valerie, and Born to Die.
Hi guys. Thanks for reacting, finally, to Angelina Jordan. I've been watching her since she was 7 years old and she won Norways Got Talent singing very old Billie Holiday blues songs. A couple of videos by her that I can recommend are... A Million Years Ago ( better than Adele!!! ) and Everytime We Say Goodbye... I personally believe that she is the most talented youngster around at the moment. She takes a song and completely makes it her own... You really should react to more of her.... PLEASE!!!
Angulina can sing anything. If you pull her name up on utube no matter what it is it will be extraordinary. There's one or two early songs where audience noise is a bit bad but never because she was off. Shes allways astonishing.
She comes from heaven.
I like this B&w performance the best, even better than its original.
She is fantastic.🧡💛💚💙💜
Whatever sounds come out of Angelina you can be sure that she wanted it that way.
Born to die and It’s a Man’s World are my favorites but I enjoy all her covers and her originals... She has an amazing voice and you can always hear and feel the emotions of all her songs
Thank you soooooooo much, I love Angelina to death :) She is amazingly talented and she brings that old beautiful music back to life. In this video she was like 8 years old and this song is from the 50's of last century :) Please try her A million years ago Adele's cover. Karolina/Poland
React she singing Back to black and You were always on my mind too. Try not cry on second music. Is so emotional.
THIS is probably the MOST entertaining reaction I have watched of this AJ cover! Just the fact that they started out so skeptical and bemused then as soon as Angelina opens her mouth you can just see their heads spin 😄Its always so satisfying to see. Lol. Loved it. Two thumbs up lol
verry nice guys now your official get spelled and must be fans forever ;)"" You just discovers one of the best female singers on present time. her ability to make each song to her own is unique you will see if you check out her other songs. all best to you guys.
She is a PHENOMENON
And the musicians with her; I mean, she needs the very best you can get. And here they are...And, yes, she makes old songs her own, her very own. She sings them anew. Finally, she honoured the original version in the voice of Screamin' Jay Hawkins by holding a candle with his face on it. Respect.
Thank you guys! Thank you...she is fenomenal and very professional believe...an Old Soul! Love you guys! 🙏🏻❤️
In fact the song is much nearer to the original - listen to the original version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Angelina's carrrying a candle with his picture in the beginning. I really hope this girl won't get "watered down" by popular music and overproduction. Her voice is made for Jazz!
She is at her best when she is only accompanied by a guitar ( Ivan or Egil). Her "a capella of I'm a fool to want you" at the audition when she was 7 is also fantastic.
Angelina was 9 years in this Video. Now she is 13 years old. ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺 great reaction
Her mom has put the breaks on and has not signed her to anyone even Disney wanted her and her mom said no. She stayed in Norway went to regular school and took vocal lessons. However, I have heard that they were moving to LA to pursue more vocal lessons. She wears no shoes because of profound experience in India with a street girl when she was 6 or 7 and gave her own shoes to her. Now she doesn't wear shoes while singing for those children, she even wrote a book about it and it was published.
She won Norway's Got Talent by singing jazz classics like Gloomy Sunday and Summertime - at 7 and 8. She can also sing modern pop like a champion.
Listening to almost one hundred diffent songs she did, she is got a wonderful team of good musicians. Also she always has her own dominance of her own signature. It is not the style of the musicians, it is her style. Every time.
9:48, The songs that she sang on the talent show that she was in, which was Norway's Got Talent, were the opposite of "generic". She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday". Then she proceeded to sing more classic songs which were "I'm a fool to want you", "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "Summertime".
Actually y’all wanna go way back to 6 years old her singing (I who have nothing) or(here comes the sun) even some beautiful Elvis Presley classics & let’s not forget her own originals. very much class.
Welcome to the world of Angelina. There are about one hundred different covers on you tube, and personally I think there are less than 5 that is not brilliant. The best are on her official and cover channel, but there are also some amazing concert videos from Boris Pavelonski. Even if he is not a professional he has managed to capture some extraordinary moments. So when reacting to a recommendation try first the ones on her own channels, if not they are probably on the channel of Boris. I hope you will do a lot of reactions in the weeks to come
So why was this video hacked up?
Sacrilege!!
this song is much better and cleaner -for some reason your video actually skipped part of song. anjelina plays violin,guitar,piano and flute in addition to writing own music.her 4 songs in norways got talent were 2 billie holiday (gloomy sunday and i'm a fool to want you) nancy sinatra(BANG,BANG)and "summertime' by george gershwin in finale.the competition was over after 1st song...
Angelina has the brightest future ever
The truth is we - humanity - does not look now
for the brightest future ever - except at the moments
when Angelina sings - then I feel we have a bright future
Angelina will bring us with her - Superman took Lois Lane flying
AGT: She got the Golden Buzzer for Bohemian Rhapsody.
@Rusty Shackleford Yeah, what Rusty said and much more! Destined to be known as ANGELINA and listened to for generations to come!
Happy new year ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
She won Norway got talent in 2014 at the age of 7!!! .. Here she is 10 I believe...u shud take a listen to her performances Fr that season...
She JUST sang on AGT last week and sang Bohemian Rhapsody... UNBELIEVABLE, truly ... she totally made it her own. Def worth watching
Freddy wud b proud. (Age 13)
She has her own site and she can sing in so many diff styles....listen to STAY, BACK TO BACK, BORN TO DIE, GLOOMY SUNDAY. anything actually U won't b disappointed
She sang BANG BANG. SUMMERTIME and more....songs of the 60's when she was competing in "Norway's got talent"
She participated w/Quincy Jones....sang at a charity for Kate Hudson, the movie actress....sang a song one yr for the Nobel Pruze ceremony and a few other prestigious events....
She is quite well known but I am positive that after participating in AGT (which is still ongoing) she will b recognized that much more. She absolutely won the audience over, however, that being said, Marcelito Pomoy is also participating alongside her. His first song of course was The Prayer. .... shall b very interesting ....
Fr across the waters

🐥🐥🐥hugs and all jazz
Try Young and Beautiful, Stay, A Million Years Ago, Valerie, Unchanged Melody or The Show Must Go On covered by Angelina. All shows different sides of her voice. She sings and records from home as a hobby as her parents want her to go to school and grow up before she pursues her singing
She is amazing!!!!! I love her please react to more of her!
Guys - You have to react to her singing Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT Champions....it will blow you away!!!
She’s on AGT this year she does Bohemian rhapsody and gets the golden buzzer she’s absolutely amazing
Pls react to Angelina Jordan's version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Am sure u guys gonna love it. Mark my words. Tq
Came here from Dimash..Glad you guys stumbled onto AJ, but please keeep goign!! She, like Dimash is just even more mind blowing the further down the rabbit hole that you fall with her.
In Norway Got Talent (which she won), she sang exactly this type of song! Old style jazz. She's got an old soul!
She competed in NORWAYS GOT TALENT when she was 7. She won. She sang. SUMMERTIME. BANG BANG . GLOOMY SUNDAY
She just turned 15. Lives the States now. Came out w/her own song just recently called MILLION MILES Wrote it for her grandpa who recently passed away
The part in here where she was writing on a piece of paper....it was the score. . She "kindly asked" for changes. The guy reading the revised scored "kindly agreed" to her changes. Shit 9 yrs old making her own changes
She has a record deal now. She has a lot of songs out on vids now. Every reaction people r stunned at how well she sings. Most covers she does they all say her version is better than the original
Go and listen on ur own w/out doing reactions. Try STAY. A MILLION YRS AGO. BACK TO BLACK. I HAVE NOTHING.
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. YELLOW BRICK ROAD
Any song she sings will amaze you.
Fr across the waters

🐥🐥🐥hugs 2 all
Check out her songs from Norways Got Talent, she was just 7 years old turning 8 there you will be mesmerized.
and She did not do "generic" modern songs - you'd be surprised what her song choices were :D
In this song I think she is 10 or 11
Oh, just one more thing. You mention her sounding a bit off key sometimes. There is a time-honored technique in jazz singing, especially from the '40s, '50s, & '60s, of hitting a note slightly flat, then gliding up to the proper pitch. It gives more "color" & interest to the song, makes it sound more jazzy. I think you can hear it sometimes in Sinatra's recordings. I'm not sure that she does that, but it could be. Will need to listen for it. She knows her jazz!
Thank you Karolyn for educating the audience. Actually Angelina has helped me rediscover all the great ladies of Jazz, Ella, Dinah, Billie and others.
@@BlackWolfSpirit Yes, it is really a masterful technique.
Guys.... Angelina is the end of search for music. She's got it all and se owns you.....
The song is from “screaming jay Hawkins “the guy on the mug 50-60 yrs old
Song .discovered the reason. She performs barefoot makes me love her more
I believe she is an angel
Don't let your stereotypes get in the way of new experiences.
Why is it so cut up. If you didn't do this you've missed half of the song.
She started listening and singing jazz when she was one and a half years. She found music on youtube, then the songs ...
acapella, I'm a Fool to Want You
1st elimination round Norway's Got Talent, age 7 (she was 8 when she won)
with instruments, first official competition round
Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holliday
She has over 400 Million UA-cam Views and over 1 Billion visits to her Facebook page.
Her first two auditions Angelina sang Billie Holidays versions of I’m Fool to Want You a cappella, then Gloomy Sunday at only 7 years of age, left them crying, 😂 it’s funny all reactions are very similar, it is incredible, but true, it is a movie in the making, she’s fenomenal, she has a Chanel and you can play her videos , she has all the classics, her style, her beautiful voice, good reaction guys!
I kind of got the feeling that you think her singing style is merely copying..... believe me when I say what you heard is her original sound.... she is a natural jazz and blues artist with a very old soul.... her voice is authentic and her style is her own choice
She has newer versions when she's older that aren't so hard on her larynx or harsh.
Find her on Norway's Got Talent. Her first elimination song was I'm a Fool to Want You, acapella. She was 7 years old. The next was "Gloomy Sunday". She won the competition at 8 years old. She says she started singing when she was young, "1 and a half years old. When asked what was her first song she says, "I started with jazz." Her mother says she found music on UA-cam and chose what she liked. By 12 she had written 3 of her own songs. She also studies several instruments.
The first time I heard this iteration of I Put a Spell, I stopped part the way through. It sounded like I was being cursed. Now I listen to her every day. Find her tribute version of Natural Woman she did shortly after Aretha Franklin died.
Angelina Jordan, finally! You should considering seeing these children more often... a huge surprise awaits you! They are phenomenal!
Sorry guyu cut the hell out of that
She's the best on this planet and she's only 13 years old she is done many covers and you'd be hard-pressed to find one that isn't better than the original. Do yourselves a favor and check out her version of summertime which she performed in the Norway's Got Talent when she was either seven or eight years old I'm not sure.... mind blowing really good
No generic stuff at the Talent show, no....
She sang Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" at the age of SEVEN!
That takes some integrity and dare.
don´t worry about the number of views of her videos....They´re up over a billion so far :)
Plz, don't compare a talentless PERSON, like Billy, what ever it's last name is, to A LEGEND IN THE MAKING, ANGELINA JORDAN!!
BILLIE, WILL BE A ONE HIT WONDER!! ANGELINA, WILL BE A LEGEND 4 MANY GENERATIONS!!
THIS GIRL HAS MILLIONS OF FOLLOWER'S & SHE DOES NOT NEED HELLYWOOD 2 MAKE IT BIG!!
ANGELINA, SPEAKS 3 LANGUAGES, PLAYS 4 INSTRUMENTS & WRITES HER OWN MUSIC!! SHE HAS MORE TALENT IN HER LITTLE FINGER THAN ALL THE TALENTLESS HIP HOP LOSERS ON THE RADIO
your caps lock is broken ;)""
@@chrisbach2386 nope! Caps locks are not broken!! Was MAKING A POINT!!😝😝😉😉😉
@@truthwarrior7934 You nailed it.
I agree with you that Angelina has more talent in her little finger than all the "talentless hip hop losers on the radio". However, your paint brush is too broad because there are other talented singers around, I follow the careers of several of them on UA-cam.Let me name them. First of all opera and classical singing -Amira Willighagen (bn 2004), Laura Bretan, (bn 2002), Patricia Janeckova (bn 1998) and Sterre van Boxtel (bn2005), and then Popular music - Charlotte Summers (bn 2005), Connie Talbot (bn 2000), Courtney Hadwin (Bn 2004), Jayden Rilee (bn 2006) and Krisia Todorova (bn 2004). Each of them have their strengths and on most occasions I find them pleasant to listen to. However, having said that, Angelina is by far the only one who constantly surprises me with her ability and has never disappointed me with her performance. She is truly "one of a kind".
Three more recent recommendations..two from a year ago, when she was 12, "Born to Die" and "It's a Man's World" and recently released, "Welcome to My World". You'll see distinct styles. She kills all of them...actually she kills everything she chooses to sing.
You don't have to cut performances by Angelina Jordan, she just loves to sing and for other to listen, so no copyright issues😉
She said she'd started to sing jazz at age 1.5 years .won Norway gots talent.2014 at 7 years of
age . 3cheers from Canada
Crazy piece coming out of a little girl! I don’t think you should have cut out that much of the video.... :)
Btw, the version is rather true to the original, Screaming Jays Hawkins version, and not Nina’s as you probably know.
Stian Bjøntegaard Or the flat, life less emotionless version of CCR
On Norways got talent she sang nothing songs from the late 30’s to the mid 60’s, she won the show at 8 receiving 46% of the vote out of the final 10 contestants.
She won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old...And now you know why this was the most requested! (She was 9 here)Thank you...finally! She has so much more and each time you hear her you will be amazed! How about reacting to her 'It's A Mans World'...Oslo ?(12) And/or 'Young And Beautiful.(13) Thank you!!! She loves jazz! Her parents did not want her to lose her childhood, and they are strict about how much she does. They have turned down like 90% of offers. She is 13 now.
Just a little advice, and I know I speak for all the Angelina's fans here when I say: Don't skip ANY parts on Angelina's videos, even though I really loved your comments and appreciate the fact that you were blown away by that, still, it willl not be a healthy practice for your channel, believe me, nobody will be bothered by watching her entire videos over and over since I can assure you we have watched this video with so many times with other reaction videos, that I have lost count and I can tell you that based on the comments I have read so many times from so many of her fans and I've come to realize that I'm getting familiar with a lot of names from her fans, names that I can see in many other videos over and over and I'll tell you they are hundreds of videos played hundreds of times, so please help us help you with your channel and instead of having maybe around 3 minutes or less of her video after cutting off so many parts to make it shorter and 10 minutes talking, I'd rather want this to be the other way around and I bet is not just the way I feel but many others as well, just a positive thought for you guys, you will see the difference.
I know where you come from, when you say you're not fans of child singers. They often have great talent, but haven't learned to use the talent to expand and transform the songs into great music. Angelina Jordan seems completely free of such limitations. She's a kid, and she's a singer, but she's *not* a kid singer. She's a singer, period. That recording was made when she was nine. She's thirteen, now, and has developed further as a singer. Undoubtedly, she will continue to learn and develop. However, even at nine she had made the transition from "kid who sings" to *singer*.
So, welcome to the wonderfully confusing paradox that is Angelina Jordan! You'll probably never make sense of it. I haven't, and don't expect to. That does nothing to reduce the enjoyment of her voice, though.
It was exactly like the original. The man on the candle in the beginning of the video is Screamin Jay Hawkins who is the original of this song. It was the Ode to him not Nina Simone
She did this song in Screamin`Jay Hawkins style. The mug you see in the beginning, has his pic!
Angelina.. Única en su voz.. Y siempre descalza de chiquita
It'a about time you heard Angelina. What a superb talent!! Unfortunately there were many little parts missing throughout this tape. Maybe you did this because of copy rights or UA-cam! Welcome to the enchanting world of Angelina Jordan!!!!!
Yeah love her too. Now try Diana Ankudinova. Cover Wicked Games.
You mention that she could do anything. Check her out covering Adele, Lana Del Rey, Queen, Nina Simone, Elvis, John Legend and a lot more...
She got the golden buzzer on AGT the other day. You should check it out!
There is something in the water these kids are drinking... unbelievable !! and you are absolutely right... stay true to your own style and passions because main stream modern music is not its all cracked up to be.
