Nothing like watching people react to Angelina. Know as the lady with a 1000 voices. All arrangements are hers. She always pulls you right into her world no one like her in my 70 years. As far as music turn me over I am done.
After her semifinal performance of Bang Bang, Omer Bhatti (one of the judges) said "In my mind, you've already won." Angelina was one of 10 finalists, but won with 46% of the vote. And after winning the prize money (500,000 Norwegian Krone, or about US$50,000) she gave most of it to children's charities. There's simply no one remotely like her.
How can a 7 or 8 year old child have vocal fry , perfect pitch and be aware of this kind of music.....it's unreal . I have probably watched this a hundred times and I still get blown away.
Hi G, another wonderful reaction. I have watched all her songs multiple times and still get emotional at these performances at that age. Thanks and looking forward to this incredible journey with you.
And we see .. after the reality of the win .. the little girl .. emotional and totally precious. Blessings always, dearest Angelina!! You are a gift to us all!!! Thank you for your devotion and focus and love of music. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
@@GOnABeat Your reaction to this was similar except I was crying for an hour after she finished this performance. How does a 7-8 year old stay on pitch and time with no music????? She is an amazing talent. This was my first exposure to Angelina.
The person you're talking about is "George Gershwin",, and yes this is his version that Angelina went with,, 4 masterpieces with 4 different vocals🤯🤯🤯 👣🌬🌎
the Summer Time was adjusted to fit into the time restrictions of the contest which is why none of the other verses were done. You were thinking of George Gershwin's original.
Thanks G again very much for your time and appreciation of Angelina. She is a Wonder and has seemingly worked very hard throughout her short life and paid her dues. The quality of her voice keeps me coming back 4 more. Thumbs up sir, see you on the next one.
Did you read my last comment about Angelina being an Angel with the ability to channel singers from the past? Tell me that the last three songs you heard her sing, did or did not confirm my theory that Angelina has the ability to channel any type of singer at her will! I'm 76 years old and I rather believe that Angels are true and Angelina is a miracle child on earth to help spread a message of love through her music.
If you know anything about singing you realize that singing a total song in a'capella, without a single key to guide your starting note, can be disastrous, since by starting in the wrong key will affect your proper completion of the complete performance. Here in 'Im A Fool To Want You' she simply boggles the mind by accomplishing this easily.
Mr G, isn't this wonderful?!?!?!? What an experience for you to enjoy! All of us have experienced what you are feeling right now. And, you know what? That feeling will never leave you. Her love is in your heart and she's there to stay. Great reaction, my friend. Very tough to keep your composure for 3 Angelina songs in one video but you did it!
Loving your reactions to Angelina! She has stated in several interviews that she is never nervous on stage, only excited. Once on stage she never wants to leave.
The fist song, when the other contestants realise they have no chance. I have seen these performance so so many times and they sill amaze me. Thanks for reacting to this super talented young vocalist.
That acapella performance is out of this world... an 8 year old did that... insane. And Summertime give me goosebumps and especially the way she sings the word "daddy" the second time.. Angelina is just incredible and amazing and mesmerizing ❤
Thanks You have witnessed the best on the planet right now, and she is just getting started as a little girl and already is better than most of the pro's today and of yesteryear. Happy viewing!!!
@@arceliedunn2022 She said so herself, but there are 100% reliable documentations (among them an entry on the NGT Facebook pages) telling that the audition in Oslo was held on Jan 25th, two weeks after her 8th birthday (Jan 10), and also that Angelina performed in Oslo. She signed on at 7, and the precasts were held in the days around her birthday, so in the excitement of finally entering the show, I guess she must have forgotten that she just had turned 8. The Judges' cut was on Feb 7th, the "Bang, bang" April 11th, and the final "Summertime" on May 23rd.
Angelina was 7 years old when she sang Gloomy Sunday; I'm a fool to want you ; Bang Bang I shot you down and she turned 8 years old just before the last performance when she sang " Summertime " by George Gershwin.

the ending of "Summer time" was masterful! The whole damn thing was off the charts insane! But that ending was impossible! How many impossible performances can one human being do? She's done! Winner!
She is once in a lifetime. And I’m in my seventies. Angelina captivates me like no one else has ever done. Her voice and vocal ability have improved every year, but her performances like the ones you saw today are absolutely timeless. Just magical presence and talent.
Omer, the dark haired judge, said in an interview that the judges had observed Angelina practising with the guitarist and instructing him on how to play. This was LIVE on 19th(?) April so she was 8 by this time. The Final was 5 weeks later, and I was introduced to Angelina a week after that when I was inNorway for an event. My host, a jazz musician, couldn’t wait to put me in front his computer. I have followed her since, best I ever heard since Ella. Really like your reaction 🤗
Never has been nor will there ever will be another. Eight years later she is still climbing higher and when she looks over her shoulder all others are still in the valley.
I feel your goosebumps from here. You're gonna react to "I who have Nothing". One logical and rewarding selection after that would be "What A Difference A Day Make" at an outdoor concert in Norway when she was 8 and also "Fly Me To The Moon" on American TV "The View", also at age 8
Love your reactions to Angelina, she's so amazing, no one is like her. She just knows music and makes everything so good, she's as cool as they come never nervous ever. 👍👍
Written by George Gershwin performed in the musical porgy and Bess. In her teens she sang it with an orchestra as it was originally written, an aria just mesmerizing
“Summer Time” was written by, George Gershwin and was originally sung by, Ella Fitzgerald. I’m sure George and Ella are looking down and applauding eight year, old Angelina’s performance of this song.
Great reaction to The Singing Angel od a 1,000 Voices! She actually won from the beginning, she alone had 45% of the votes every episode. In an interview the younger male judge,(I don't know his name), had said when she first came out they were not aware of the talent ready to come out, "we were all in total shock", and then, "I was watching her on rehearsal of the Nancy Sinatra song, and she was instructing the Base Player of what she wanted. I knew then she was Authentic!". He also said, "I'm still close with her and her family and do show her off when I can, I even showed her performances to Michael Jackson's Mother, and she was Awe struck!", God Bless!
Great job. We all react to Angelina here as how we must were we to watch a Mozart or a Beethoven work. Astonishment and wonder mixed with a protective instinct wishing to guard the treasure that she is.
Seasoned professional. Interesting that in Bang Bang, at the end in order to co-ordinate timing with the guitarist she has to actually watch him, eg can't hear him? Is she just leading him through, singing a capella?
She is pretty special. When she was 12 she wrote and performed 'Shield', worth giving that one a go if you want to see an example of her writing ability as well.
Angelina is definitely in a class of her own, and was born to sing. You should react to Diana Ankudinova from Russia. Start with Wicked Game (age 15). Her voice is very unique, not one you want to miss out on. Loving your reactions. ❤🙏
She’s been quoted when very young as saying that she never gets nervous when performing. Ever since she won this, she has been adopted by Norway, and they have been so supportive of her and her journey-it’s heartwarming. There must have been a month or so between performances for this competition because you can see her missing teeth coming down from one time to the next. So cute!
God bless you for finding Angelina and showing more people who she is. I have loved her from the first time I heard that Etta James-ish tones and ....... Reincarnated? God given child star?....... It does not matter. She is so blessed soothing to listen to. I have to watch her little, sweet face as she sings so , so...angelic. She makes me cry!
How is it possible for a child to have so many distinctive voices? Perhaps an especially pure soul can grasp the spirit of the song and become a revenant of past artistry. Artistry can be resurrected and renewed. In her early works, it must be appreciated that Angelina's covers are not copies, they are expressions reborn with attention to how replication clarifies the authenticity and genius of the song, its original composer, and singer. (or at least, that is how I see it).
HI G! Amazing performances! And it just doesn't end. Yes, please go back to AJ's first studio experience, recorded by her grandmother. She was six, and was sooo very excited to be in a studio. She recorded "I Who Have Nothing". I've seen a couple different versions of this - one has subtitles which helped me understand the conversation after the first pass (between Angelina and the recording tech). She is so gifted and we are so lucky to be able to experience her like this. Thank you for your outstanding reactions and solid commentary! It's so fun to watch these again with you. Peace! 😊
Love your enthusiasm for this beautiful artist. Angelina is a once in a generation talent. Love how she is able to communicate emotion through her singing. Incredible. Thanks again.
She was absolutely born an old soul. I swear she’s Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday reincarnated. The fact that such a young child could have such an affinity and a love for jazz, OLD SCHOOL JAZZ, is amazing to me but then to pair it with a voice MADE for it… god, it’s incredible.
- and by the way , Its a Gerorge Gerswin song form the musical Porgy and Bess. My daughter "forced" me to write somewhat clumcy Norwegian lyrics to this one when she was 3 years old, she loved the song 12 years before Angelina was born :) She does not sing today
There is only one Angelina Jordan,my heart couldn't take another.This girl is beyond special,she really is a gift to the world.Thank you for sharing your wonderful reactions.
Angelina performs "Summertime" again at 10 Yrs old with a full orchestra, (including Harp, Oboe, Bassoon and Xylophone) the George Gershwin version. This one was the Ella F./Louis A. version, which she performed again at 8 on stage with a jazz band with hundreds in attendance. So many incredible 8 year old performances including "I'll Be There", At Last", It's A Wonderful World (at the Nobel Prize concert singing directly to the winners at an outdoor concert with a huge crowd for the charity Save The Children) and "Fly Me To The Moon" on the American TV talk show "The View". Wow G, thanks I'm really loving this journey with you! Cheers from Florida
That Performance at 10 is one of my very favourites by her, and WELL worth a look, even though we have seen the NGT rendition. Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/9tIjM3RG6EA/v-deo.html Greetings from Norway :-)
the lady very excited by Angelina winning the ngt is the same rising applauding after bohemian rhapsody. Her grandmother who has followed her from the early years.
G welcome to the group of angels who know Angelina is the best we have ever heard. Angelina was around her 8th birthday when she sang "Gloomy Sunday" and turned 8 before she sang "I'm a Fool to Want You". Honestly with us angels her age doesn't matter because she delivers a top level performance every time. It is not just the incredible vocals but how she is able to convey so much emotion. As talented as Angelina is, her humbleness and empathy completes the picture of a truly remarkable human being.
'Summertime" written by George Gershwin is a classic jazz/blues standard. I must have heard it performed by hundreds of singers - including Janis Joplin - . Angelina's is a brilliant rendition. 😎
Hi G. You are so good at this. You have reminded me about just how difficult it is to have a world class voice that can match any song that she chooses. She is proof that we were not born into this world as a blank slate. IMO, there are carry over tendencies and actually her bigger gift is her ability to intuitively reach beyond her tendencies and tap the source.
Sadly - Bodil Niska´s "Bare Jazz Café" in Oslo, did not survive the pandemi. She (Bodil) could not exist in a lock-down without money. Angelina and her mother used to visit this brilliant Jazz saxophonist Bodil Niska´s Jazz café, record shop and midday concert stage at least once a week to listen to recordings of the old masters of jazz. There is videos of tiny four year old Angelina with big headphones on - totally lost in that old music, with Bodil close by. I saw the tiny little girl and her mother there several times - but I did not know what would rise up from there.
When it comes to music, Angelina is completely in her element. I think that's the reason why she shows absolutely no nerves. Thank you for was one of the best reactions to Angelina's breathtaking performances ever. Oh, and I think this also needs to be said: The set designers have simply surpassed themselves for Angelina's George Gershwin cover: simply a wonderful setting that I don't think could have been more fitting. All the very best from Germany
I like your reactions Mr. G. After the I Who Have Nothing at 6 years old jump up to twice that age when she was 12 doing Lana Delray in a voice that will chill every once of your body. If not that one pick any dang song she does and make sure you’re sitting down. James Brown, Etta James, Sinatra, Elvis or maybe an original like Shield or Million Miles. If you watch them I’ll watch you, deal? Thanks from the frozen north of Alaska
It is a great watch and very enjoyable watch to see your reactions and hear your comments G. From what I have seen of your Angelina reactions, they are really some of the best of the several hundred reactors on YT to Angelina. When you think about Talent shows with kids, not in your wildest dreams would you ever imaging a child picking these songs to sing on a talent show, which just goes to show you the pure music genius of this young prodigy. Even at this age it is almost unimaginable that this child is also arranging these songs the way she wants them to be performed. Could go on and on about this beautiful human being but it would seem that you get it so I shall stop. Can't wait to see more Angelina reactions from you G. 10 thumbs up Sir. Happy Holidays from SC, US.
For Christmas with Angelina
Mary’s Boy Child
How Great Thou Art
I truly believe that 10 -15 years from now Angelina will be considered the Greatest singer EVER.
Welcome to the world of the "girl of 1000 voices"...
Angelina got 46% of the votes in NGT. ....but I give her 100%. ....do I need to say which is more...???
Nothing like watching people react to Angelina.
Know as the lady with a 1000 voices.
All arrangements are hers.
She always pulls you right into her world no one like her in my 70 years. As far as music turn me over I am done.
I have to listen to her everyday. She is awesome
These performances only confirmed that Angelina was born a musical prodigy and genius.
She’s been described as a vocal chameleon
I've followed Angelina since she won and I have never heard her sing poorly. Everything she sings is fabulous.
After her semifinal performance of Bang Bang, Omer Bhatti (one of the judges) said "In my mind, you've already won." Angelina was one of 10 finalists, but won with 46% of the vote. And after winning the prize money (500,000 Norwegian Krone, or about US$50,000) she gave most of it to children's charities. There's simply no one remotely like her.
She is unbeleivable.... absolutely she is a gifted child...❤great reaction sir.👍👍
Unchained melody is great
That’s it relive it with you😊

Hi G, another wonderful reaction. I have watched all her songs multiple times and still get emotional at these performances at that age. Thanks and looking forward to this incredible journey with you.
10 finalist and she gets 46% of the votes.
Very well deserved.
My favorite was when the judge during Gloomy Sunday said "You are Music"
I like your reaction bradda....wow as one of da best.....mahalo's..kauai Hi.
Angelina is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices. You mentioned her different voice in this song. There are many more voices to come!
Hi G just for you "Incredible Angelina Jordan singing when she is one and a half years old". She starts singing at 1 min 52 sec.
One of my favorite Angelina reactors. You highlight her gift so well. She isn't one in a anything, she is unique.
Rusty Shackelford has a chronological play list of about 150 songs. Covers and originals. Have fun.
I like at the end on Bang BANG she looks over to the guitar player to get the timing perfect for the last note ... perfection at 8 yrs old
And we see .. after the reality of the win .. the little girl .. emotional and totally precious. Blessings always, dearest Angelina!! You are a gift to us all!!! Thank you for your devotion and focus and love of music. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Out our Planet !!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!Absolutely splendid !!!
Speechless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it enjoyable, take your time I enjoy your reactions
Thank you Wilfried. Hoping to check out 2 of her songs a week so appreciate the support here 👍
@@GOnABeat So that’s your next 75 weeks taken care off 😁
@@GOnABeat Your reaction to this was similar except I was crying for an hour after she finished this performance. How does a 7-8 year old stay on pitch and time with no music????? She is an amazing talent. This was my first exposure to Angelina.
*****SOMETIMES MIRACLES ARE JUST THAT***** 💕💕💕
She will cause your glasses to steam up!
Loooove your reaction! Love Angelina ❤️
For "Summertime" she covers Ella Fitzgerald...
They say that Angelina has a 1000 voices stunning Angelina 😍

the Summer Time was adjusted to fit into the time restrictions of the contest which is why none of the other verses were done. You were thinking of George Gershwin's original.
my 5th element in this world that i never knew was missing in my life Angelina Jordan Astar its all in the name,love your reactions Sir G
This is history being made in front of us!
Great reaction again. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks G again very much for your time and appreciation of Angelina. She is a Wonder and has seemingly worked very hard throughout her short life and paid her dues. The quality of her voice keeps me coming back 4 more. Thumbs up sir, see you on the next one.
The impressive thing is how it captures the attention of the public, an absolute silence is generated, thanks G. sdos 🇦🇷 🇦🇷
Great reaction 👍🏼💕🎼
The money Angelina won she donated !!!❤
The song before NGT is I Who Have Nothing in Studio at 6 yrs old and the next after would be Fly Me to the Moon on The View at 8 yrs old 💕
Thank you she’s just amazing ❤️

👩🏻🎤🌎⭐❤ I'm so glad they recorded these amazing performances by Angelina because otherwise I would never have believed it was possible.
Thanks You have witnessed the best on the planet right now, and she is just getting started as a little girl and already is better than most of the pro's today and of yesteryear. Happy viewing!!!
What is so amazing is Angelina started this competition at age 7 and won it at age 8.
She was 8 years old for these 3 performances. Just unimaginably phenomenal.
I thought she said she was 7yo in gloomy Sunday.....???.oh ok....you right......opps 😎
Angelina was 7 years old when she auditioned with Gloomy Sunday . When she sang 'Summertime' she just turned 8 yrs of age couple of days before hand.
@@arceliedunn2022 She said so herself, but there are 100% reliable documentations (among them an entry on the NGT Facebook pages) telling that the audition in Oslo was held on Jan 25th, two weeks after her 8th birthday (Jan 10), and also that Angelina performed in Oslo.

And by the way she won with 47%
Of the vote!!
On and fyi. Her last name is Astar, so she was born a Star.🌟🌟🌟

Listen to her singing I Put a Spell on You at 9 yo, California Dreaming and Always on My Mind at 12 yo.
Angelina performs "Summertime" again at 10 Yrs old with a full orchestra, (including Harp, Oboe, Bassoon and Xylophone) the George Gershwin version. This one was the Ella F./Louis A. version, which she performed again at 8 on stage with a jazz band with hundreds in attendance. So many incredible 8 year old performances including "I'll Be There", At Last", It's A Wonderful World (at the Nobel Prize concert singing directly to the winners at an outdoor concert with a huge crowd for the charity Save The Children) and "Fly Me To The Moon" on the American TV talk show "The View". Wow G, thanks I'm really loving this journey with you! Cheers from Florida
That Performance at 10 is one of my very favourites by her, and WELL worth a look, even though we have seen the NGT rendition. Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/9tIjM3RG6EA/v-deo.html Greetings from Norway :-)
The orchestra version is sublime.
the lady very excited by Angelina winning the ngt is the same rising applauding after bohemian rhapsody. Her grandmother who has followed her from the early years.
G welcome to the group of angels who know Angelina is the best we have ever heard. Angelina was around her 8th birthday when she sang "Gloomy Sunday" and turned 8 before she sang "I'm a Fool to Want You". Honestly with us angels her age doesn't matter because she delivers a top level performance every time. It is not just the incredible vocals but how she is able to convey so much emotion. As talented as Angelina is, her humbleness and empathy completes the picture of a truly remarkable human being.
'Summertime" written by George Gershwin is a classic jazz/blues standard. I must have heard it performed by hundreds of singers - including Janis Joplin - . Angelina's is a brilliant rendition. 😎
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I have a playlist of 105 different versions; three of which are by Angelina
Tod, how did you react when you first heard this child singing your song?
Hi G. You are so good at this. You have reminded me about just how difficult it is to have a world class voice that can match any song that she chooses. She is proof that we were not born into this world as a blank slate. IMO, there are carry over tendencies and actually her bigger gift is her ability to intuitively reach beyond her tendencies and tap the source.

Sadly - Bodil Niska´s "Bare Jazz Café" in Oslo, did not survive the pandemi. She (Bodil) could not exist in a lock-down without money. Angelina and her mother used to visit this brilliant Jazz saxophonist Bodil Niska´s Jazz café, record shop and midday concert stage at least once a week to listen to recordings of the old masters of jazz. There is videos of tiny four year old Angelina with big headphones on - totally lost in that old music, with Bodil close by. I saw the tiny little girl and her mother there several times - but I did not know what would rise up from there.
When it comes to music, Angelina is completely in her element. I think that's the reason why she shows absolutely no nerves. Thank you for was one of the best reactions to Angelina's breathtaking performances ever.
Oh, and I think this also needs to be said: The set designers have simply surpassed themselves for Angelina's George Gershwin cover: simply a wonderful setting that I don't think could have been more fitting.
All the very best from Germany
Gerswwin wrote the song and the arrangement in 1936, Billy Holiday made Summertime famous from the Play Porggy and Bess by Gerswwin.
I like your reactions Mr. G. After the I Who Have Nothing at 6 years old jump up to twice that age when she was 12 doing Lana Delray in a voice that will chill every once of your body. If not that one pick any dang song she does and make sure you’re sitting down. James Brown, Etta James, Sinatra, Elvis or maybe an original like Shield or Million Miles. If you watch them I’ll watch you, deal? Thanks from the frozen north of Alaska
Born To Die is the Lana song
Angelina 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It is a great watch and very enjoyable watch to see your reactions and hear your comments G. From what I have seen of your Angelina reactions, they are really some of the best of the several hundred reactors on YT to Angelina. When you think about Talent shows with kids, not in your wildest dreams would you ever imaging a child picking these songs to sing on a talent show, which just goes to show you the pure music genius of this young prodigy. Even at this age it is almost unimaginable that this child is also arranging these songs the way she wants them to be performed. Could go on and on about this beautiful human being but it would seem that you get it so I shall stop. Can't wait to see more Angelina reactions from you G. 10 thumbs up Sir. Happy Holidays from SC, US.
Reducing a grown man to tears. Me. She's surely sent from Heaven. How blessed I am to have lived long enough to hear this child. 🙌
