Angelina Jordan just say magic v She never rushes a song takes her time and saying each word most kids run to the song fast they can go Angelina recovering from a cold
I do love very much Angelina way of singing .. I have to say she has a very kean ability to soak in the way the interpretation of the singer she listens to .. when she listens to the original interpretation either it be Ella Fitzgerald or others she .. become them while she sings their songs... while adding a little thing of hers.. can’t you see?
This is probably late and no one would see this. But Angelina Jordan was born with a voice and capabilities that others would have to train and perform for 20 years to get there or even 30 who knows. She just knows it all, second nature for her. Which is mind blowing and extraordinary. Angelina Jordan in my opinion is the best voice the world has ever seen till date, and she will be a big name in the industry...
uh....I'm uh....how....wha....uh...who....I mean.....where....it's.....uh...you...I'm.... Ok. I think you get it. I am SPEECHLESS over this girl. SO Fearless. SO good. SO amazing. This little girl is absolutely blowin' up the world. What a treasure! And only becoming more and more precious and priceless with every year that passes. Don't ever stop Angelina! This kind of beauty is so rarely found.
You know, I there is a video, when Angelina is going on the stage (maybe on Norway's Got Talent? I forgot.) and her mum kissed her and said "Go, give them some jazz". And the girl did it. She just gave them jazz :)
You’re right. Slight pitch there and clasping the stand. It was a live performance on TV in Norway during a yearly program we have for funding charity (in this case Plan). If I’m not mistaken, it’s a bit late in the evening too.
I love Angelina! She has amazing technical ability, truly an old soul? Defies explanation!! Now a departure from her undeniable talent, I implore you to check out an artist from the 90s, who unfortunately passed away from cancer too young and a heartbreaker for me as I just discovered this phenomenal singer!!! Her name is Eva Cassidy. The performance is "live" of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I think in 1996, it will transfix you!!! You will understand when you hear it. I'm still slayed! ✌
Hi Ken, I'm not sure, if I have written that to you (can't find my comment in the 460 comments on your first AG reaction ;-) ) ...so I send you my latest summery for AJ newbies (even if you reacted already to 3 covers from her) wellcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistence is futil... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... There is a big pile of over 130 videos on youtube with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... She is born 10th Januar 2006, sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independed - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/). First of all here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ua-cam.com/channels/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA.html Angelina Jordan CoverChannel - ua-cam.com/channels/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg.html Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html ...and her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html) Her first "visit" to a recording studio at 6yo: "I who have nothing": ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html ... here are some links to the clips of NGT: First Audition: "Gloomy Sunday": ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html Judges' Cut-Off: "I’m a fool to want you" ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html Semi Final: "Bang Bang": ua-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/v-deo.html Final: "Summertime": ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html ...here in between NGT and AGT you will find a huge selection of videos with Angelina and each of it will blow your mind. ...her originals (1-3) and songs especialy wrote for her (4+5): 1. "Shield": my favorite - several versions: * live in a TV show ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html * audio from a studio recording ua-cam.com/video/XVtUZWHmY8Y/v-deo.html * music video by her granma ua-cam.com/video/DJRNtjek9Gs/v-deo.html 2. "Oslo": ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html 3. "What Is Life": ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html - 4. "Song for A": ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html - there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie (the woman in the lyrics) or both of them ;-) 5. "Above the water": ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my prefered genre ;-) ... here her "mini concert" from AGT (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...): "Bohemian Rhapsody": ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html “Someone You Loved": ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html And here is a video where it is explained (with english subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the norwegian TV (with english subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her granma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield"). So she is a real multitalent and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... And last but not least the newest (as far as I know) video of AJ singing in a rehearsal - uploaded August 10th 2020: ua-cam.com/video/4jU9Hhf3ayo/v-deo.html All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the megafans like Fernando F., Rusty ... And a little Question: You reacted already to her live version of "I Put A Spell On You" in the German TV show Little Big Shots BUT... You realy should also watch her b/w studio version of this song -AND: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html - that's real fun :-D ) - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! ...and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
She is 9 here (or least it was posted when she was 9), and this is during a time period where she was sick, or just getting unsick, and you can hear the crack in her voice, the extra raspiness, and some pitch problems. But sick or not, when she agrees to perform, you can count on her to be there, especially for a charity function like this one. We all know what an incredible talent she is, but she is also someone who possesses the kind of character that we admire: kind, humble, generous, funny, and caring, while also focused, determined, and dedicated. She is a terrific role model for young and old alike. Thanks for another great reaction, Ken. 😊💕 P. S.: At 14, Angelina has just signed with Republic Records, one of the top companies in the recording industry (Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and many other big names). The rocket has launched, and now she will be marketed to the world. Here comes Stardom!
IMO, she is most special around 12 years of age. She churned out so many stunning performances around that time. Namely, covering Adele's Million Years Ago and Someone Like You, Lana del Ray's Born to Die and Young and Beautiful, Rihanna's Stay. Regarding Stay, Angelina really shows her masterclass level vibrato. This is her number one performance IMO. In fact in this performance you will hear her vibrato exactly the way you described and more. It;'s beautiful.
From Iowa, USA; Updated ... 1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records. 3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music. 4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Hopefully this will remain as she continues her career with Republic. 5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot and I hope by now that you have discovered the incredible reason why she does that. 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old! 7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
I really enjoy listening to your critique of other performers. Your use of the English language I also appreciate; in other words I like listening to you.
Your "spell words" are so fantastic love it...what in my opinion is such a great gift of angelina is the understanding of the meaning and the feeling of that kind of music...I love when she does "fly me to the moon" or " bang bang" from nancy sinatra.
"She never wastes an opportunity to invest character into every note." Excellent observation. Most of us can recognize Angelina's singing after the first musical bar.
👍🏻Nice job. You nailed it at the end, there. A child prodigy. & a genius. I’m sure you’ve researched her by now. She’s an all around astonishing person😊 7/24/22
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 reaction, & agree, her lower register is an unexplained phenomenon!!!
The joy and appreciation on your face while listening to this protege is the best review. An astonishing talent - she brings you along for the ride in each of her performances and she surrounds and captures your soul with her first note. Whether you are aware or not you are on the journey with her experiencing awe, goose bumps and tears. She leaves you astonished and overwhelmed and so moved that you don’t know what just happened. So young! So talented!
Oh my goodness! How does anyone not fall in love with this little girl? She is so talented and she just keeps getting better. Good for her. I wish her all the best. Thank you for sharing this video. Absolutely love it.
Hey coach ken, I believe the question is HOW ? Could a super special super star god's gifted child entertainer at such young age convey and deliver the most beautiful voice and music to perfection. She is the Queen of Music .taking difficult/hard songs to sing and arrange it kicking in a little stylistic colors then delivering it beautifully . that's the most amazing vocalist that's walking on this planet. BAM !!! that's what I'm talking about .
She was born with the sound and songs already in her. Most of us, including some celebrities, learn a song from the outside in. Angelina is opposite. She knows from inside herself what it should sound like. She gives birth to it. Lisa, a judge on NGT told her, “You are your music.” Angelina’s face lit up. She usually has small modest reactions to praise. I’m referring to “Gloomy Sunday.” She doesn’t always use an ending consonant.
That's great .Jordan... Lots of love to u sir for crosschecking the voice and music...because it is a tough task to do..thanks for doing such a wonderful task... Our family likes your comments.... Lots of love and wishes from DEEP SENSE. India.
You can tell by the teeth that this is AFTER Norway's Got Talent, so I peg this at either late 8 or early 9. She looks about the same age here as in "I Put a Spell On You" video.
There is so many wonderful memories of our Angel sitting in listening to the tributes to her grandfather and Whitney Houston and if you have ever lost a loved grandfather you know that's such heart break that many of us could not even speak to at a funeral yet Angelina's wish to share with everyone her love for her grandfather with us all her broken heart and soul and I could not make it through her tribute with out tears streaming down my face to have her touch your heart and soul you see love transcends all when you share your heart and soul with the people whom you love you are loved and Angelina Jordan who has touched millions of people hearts and souls and she will always remain in my heart and soul her grandfather's tribute song is you we're always on my mind by Elvis Presley and with just a guitar player and Angelina Jordan sitting in the chair with her grandfather's picture on her phone right beside her on the couch you will have a hard time getting through her tribute to him singing with all of her heart even when it's breaking l stand in awe of Angelina Jordan who has donated million to poor children and families and environmental cause she has done so much for so many 😇🎼🇳🇴🇨🇦 stay safe everyone life is beautiful ps only love can break a heart and soul and only love can heal a broken heart and soul and Angelina Jordan who has shared her love for us all is healing our hearts and souls could you please react to Angelina Jordan's cover of Tom Jones l who have nothing in the studio practicing session when she was just 6 year's old and also a cover of etta James l would rather go blind she is amazing she is the only one who is able to do this song justice in this day and age the open air concert in Oslo Norway cover of James Brown it's a man's world and watch the conductor near the end now I don't know a lot about music but I am sure that conductor does as he looks over at Angelina Jordan in awe you have to know that he has been doin this for a long time I think he's amazed by Angelina as we all are you too she has the voice of a thousand Angels great reaction to this cover she had the flu at the time and she sings with bare feet to honour the poor children and families whom when she met a little girl who had no shoes when she was just a little girl herself and gave that little girl her shoes and said that she would never proform on stage with shoes on and you know that even when its winter in Norway she sings with out shoes 😇🇨🇦 stay safe everyone 🙏 life is beautiful
Hi Ken - great reaction. I would like to point out that I believe Angelina's rendition is based on Etta James' performances. One can hear strong similarities in inflections, timing, phrasing, runs, etc. IMHO this performance is one of Angelina's 1,000 voices that honor the original singers.
Go back to age six where Angelina is in a recording studio recording I Who Have Nothing a Shirley Bassy and Tom Jones classic. At six? It will blow you away.
you should listen when angelina sings for the first time to see if she is in the contest and sings a cappella at the age of seven a billie holiday song is amazing i think angelina has the most captivating vibrato i have ever heard
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ "She never wastes an opportunity to invest character into every note." You are absolutely right, and this is one of the reasons why her singing is so captivating. Every note from Angelina is a mini-drama imbued with emotion and character.
Late in response, however your right she was sick with a cold and wanted to perform anyway.. she doesn't want to disappoint anyone . Thank you for playing her music. This old soul is fantastic.. God Bless her.
It's fun to try to "unravel the mystery" of her voice. So many professionals do that. As your heart and soul succumb to her you will eventually, and happily, admit defeat and just accept that the mystery will always be a an element of her charm. It feels great. BTW, speechlessness when witnessing an Angelina performance is actually a sure sign of humility, an endearing quality you obviously possess.
Angelina's grandma was a child prodigy in poetry and painting.I see Angelina as a vocal poet,getting the most from every word and phrase,coloring the emotions in like a painter would a painting.
I knew you would appreciate this one from Angelina. You are so right that she never misses an opportunity to add character and color to a word or phrase. This song is an excellent example of it. If you dig a little there is a video of her rehearsing this song for another show. In the first run, the tempo is too fast and she is not pleased with pace of it. She turns to the band and gives some direction, and they come back on the second run with the tempo slowed... and wow, it gives her all the room she needs to weave a beautiful tapestry of sounds in the extra space. It's just one of the many examples of her artistry and skill....at 8 years old. Also (as others have said), it's a little hard to hear in this one, but she is recovering from a little cold here.
You are absolutely right !!!. Accelerating the music is lack of maturity of the musicians, or even ignorance !!!!!. They misrepresent, leaving the music like this without coloring their words !!. Stupid act !!. Speeding up music, perhaps to make it end soon, perhaps due to ignorance and functional and professional incapacity, totally deforming it, disrespecting the path of colors that words and phrases need to contain and thus differentiating it from the original. I've seen this stupidity in many songs by several famous artists, this is sad !!!!. Exterminate the quality of the music !!!!.
The mystery that is Angelina Jordan - I think I've figured out at least part of it. She's learned music in the same way we all learn how to speak. Long befor we understand the words our parents use when they speak to us, we are fully capable of understanding the melody and the tone in their voice. As toddlers we are encouraged to try and even if we can't form the words properly we constantly get _"rewards"_ by those around us. It's thanks to her parents and other family members who at an early age realized that this girl wanted to sing and they never told her not to.
In her "I Will Always Love You" performance at 1½, I love how she tries to stop but her mother encourages her to go on, and that's when Angelina really starts to put her little heart into it. (And then what she does at the very end of the clip… I don't even know how to interpret that. :)
Yozhik Sorry to disagree. The explanation that I believes comes closest is that she is more directly connected to the collective unconscious than the rest of us "normal" folks. But I don't think we'll ever truly know. If we try to understand the sudden emergence of musical genius in the autistic savant, that might lead us closer to finding a reasonable explanation.
Your next stop is "It's a Man's World - Angelina Jordan and Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018" at 12 years old. She gets standing ovations from her band and the crowd, of course.
If you haven't seen her NGT audition and performances, please take a look. You'll get the idea clearly that this was a child of extraordinary talent, natural gifts and an understanding of jazz classics that is simply unbelievable. Those get you ready for the constant astonishment to come :)
I subscribed to your channel when you first reacted to Angelina but did not comment at that times. So I do so now.BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Angelina re-arranges the majority of the songs she sings, both melody and lyrics, to more truly reflect how she feels the song should be sung. She does this with many of her cover songs. Her fans call it "Angelina-fying" a song. My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". What did I see? Well, it was a seven-year-old child, with wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. And that was when the perception of seeing a "normal" child ended and things turned upside down. She confidently answered the questions put to her by a Judge. Declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and then started singing. The body of the 7-year-old was still there but the voice wasn't. Or was it? I was surprised then and that surprise is still with me, some six years later. I have followed her career since I saw that first video on UA-cam and in the six years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others. What is more extraordinary is that she takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. She never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. And I'll add an even more extraordinary item for you to consider, to show how unique she is. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener. As I have noted, I have been following her career a long time and have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What stands out for me is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing. Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with background music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world. Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions. Somehow I missed your reaction to Angelina singing "I put a spell on you" and you ask "How?" That performance was a modified version as she had been advised that singing as she did in the performance she gave at 9 years of age would injure her vocal chords.In the comments to that reaction you are asked to react to the performance of this song at the age of 9 and I suggest you do so. Not only I, but her many thousands of fans, feel that Reactors deserve to be exposed to this, performance :-) Here is the link. age 9 - Studio Performance:I put a spell on you ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzC/v-deo.html As for suggestions where you go next, I list a few recordings for you to consider. age 6 - First visit to a Recording Studio:I who have nothing: ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html age 7 - Norway's Got Talent - First Audition: Gloomy Sunday: ua-cam.com/video/8q7MqdFoibI/v-deo.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off:I’m a fool to want you ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Semi Final: Bang Bang: ua-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/v-deo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Final: Summertime: ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html age 8 - Concert in Sweden - "I'll be there":ua-cam.com/video/VJIwvWdoO3o/v-deo.html age 8 - Charity Concert: At last: ua-cam.com/video/819bQ9I-T-g/v-deo.html age 11 - It’s Now or Never - ua-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/v-deo.html age 10 - Norwegian TV Production: Every time we say goodbye: ua-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/v-deo.html age 10 - Back to Black - ua-cam.com/video/ICY1uJe15cM/v-deo.html - definitely Amy age 11 - It’s Now or Never - ua-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/v-deo.html age 12 - I will survive: ua-cam.com/video/ICY1uJe15cM/v-deo.html age 12 - A Million years ago: ua-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/v-deo.html age 12 - Shield, - ua-cam.com/video/IUAvEoPxNvw/v-deo.html age 13 - Someone like you:ua-cam.com/video/UsbbU9dSBOo/v-deo.html age 13 - The Show Must Go On: ua-cam.com/video/6NJv02ot5jg/v-deo.html age 13 - I’d Rather Go Blind - ua-cam.com/video/NeQm0A4UhGc/v-deo.html age 13 - "Wicked Game" - ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start.

Right, you can't understand where it comes from until you realize that it is a gift from God. Prodigals who realize what they love to do most and have support from parents can skyrocket into their God-given gift!!
I don't see it often but a favorite of mine is her, at 6 yrs old, studio version of "I who have nothing" by Tom Jones. You will be amazed, bewildered and touched by the genius of this tiny human being.
I love your reactions .. thank you! She's playing with it alot at this age and learning about slides etc.. so sometimes that can sound "pitchy" .. she is magnificent and i love your word "fearless" about her vocal meanderings. She's only 14 eight now. 😊
Another good reaction. Thanks! Pretty much everything I would say is in the comments, including suggestions. I like what you do. I love listening to Angelina. Works for me. This wasn't her best, but you still feel it. Keep them coming.
Yeah, she was sick during this performance, but she still wanted to sing and what a trooper for doing this! Can you believe if she wasn't sick, she would have sounded even better! Still did one heck of a job!
Great reaction - thank you very much. Currently, I am loving La Boheme and also A Song for A - but there is virtually nothing she has song that I don't love. Hope to hear more from you, Ken.
Its been said already, but this was a benefitt event she truly believes in, so while she was pretty sick she still performed so, considering her hoarseness, she performed this song better than most fully healthy.
This was for a children’s charity, and in spite of her cold insisted on performing. Yo must also remember that English is her third language, after Norwegian, and Farsi, she also speaks Japanese, her grandfather was Japanese.
Hi, great reaction, and yes i'm also blown away by Angelina's singing. If you wish to really feel her i may recommend some of her rehearsal videos. You can see more of her personality there and she's really amazing. My favorites is 'Angelina Jordan rehearsal (I'm a fool to want you)' ua-cam.com/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/v-deo.html . which was filmed with a mobile phone in a studio singing booth when she recorded the It's Magic album. She is so natural and amazing ....
Angelina is awesome. Truly a talent can't wait to hear what she brings us over the years @Ken - Check out Sohyang from Korea - her rendition of 'Bridge over Trouble waters'. 'Raise me up' and 'Ariang Alone' is likewise amazing.
I believe she was still sick here from her performance at the Noble Peace Prize Concert where she sang barefoot In below freezing temperature. As to where to go Her development from nine through ten is incredible. You can listen to her development which is mind bending. For fun you should listen to her (I believe 12 year old) performance of “I Would Rather Go Blind).
Interesting back story on this song & the rehearsal 4 this song 4 this show. When doing the rehearsal of doing this song, the band was off tempo & after a few attempts, Angelina had to politely correct the band on the tempo of this song. This girl knows music inside & out!! When she does rehearsals, she will correct a musician if they are off. But, she is always very humble when correcting these musicians.
Angelina holding the mike..she does that sometimes, i think she just like it :)) you should listento her: "it s a man’s world" it s a live, outdoor consert, with our full military orchestra. She is 12 in that one. Love from Norway🇳🇴
I am 70 and never thought I will be a die hard fan of Angelina. You want to be blown away? Watch “What a difference a day make “ and many more.
Angelina Jordan just say magic v
She never rushes a song takes her time and saying each word most kids run to the song fast they can go
Angelina recovering from a cold
ABSOLUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do love very much Angelina way of singing .. I have to say she has a very kean ability to soak in the way the interpretation of the singer she listens to .. when she listens to the original interpretation either it be Ella Fitzgerald or others she .. become them while she sings their songs... while adding a little thing of hers.. can’t you see?
This is probably late and no one would see this. But Angelina Jordan was born with a voice and capabilities that others would have to train and perform for 20 years to get there or even 30 who knows. She just knows it all, second nature for her. Which is mind blowing and extraordinary. Angelina Jordan in my opinion is the best voice the world has ever seen till date, and she will be a big name in the industry...
Hypnotic voice
uh....I'm uh....how....wha....uh...who....I mean.....where....it's.....uh...you...I'm.... Ok. I think you get it. I am SPEECHLESS over this girl. SO Fearless. SO good. SO amazing. This little girl is absolutely blowin' up the world. What a treasure! And only becoming more and more precious and priceless with every year that passes. Don't ever stop Angelina! This kind of beauty is so rarely found.
ANGELINA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I dont try to understand, I too am blown away by her maturity. I just enjoy. :)
This was one of those charity concerts she helped raise millions
You know, I there is a video, when Angelina is going on the stage (maybe on Norway's Got Talent? I forgot.) and her mum kissed her and said "Go, give them some jazz". And the girl did it. She just gave them jazz :)
You’re right. Slight pitch there and clasping the stand. It was a live performance on TV in Norway during a yearly program we have for funding charity (in this case Plan). If I’m not mistaken, it’s a bit late in the evening too.
Love you to react to every time we say goodbye.☘️☘️☘️
Again, that SIGNATURE STORYTELLING voice that can only be the genius of Angelina Jordan, she makes you feel alive.
Angelina Jordan started with jazz at the age of 1 1/2 her voice is magic is a child prodigy speaks 3 Languages plays 5 instruments
I love Angelina! She has amazing technical ability, truly an old soul? Defies explanation!! Now a departure from her undeniable talent, I implore you to check out an artist from the 90s, who unfortunately passed away from cancer too young and a heartbreaker for me as I just discovered this phenomenal singer!!! Her name is Eva Cassidy. The performance is "live" of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I think in 1996, it will transfix you!!! You will understand when you hear it. I'm still slayed! ✌
Some mysteries are unsolvable. Perhaps this is one of them where it isn't necessary - just sit back, settle in and let it take you away.
Breathtaking masterfully done
Who is the youngest solo artist to go Platinum in music history? Hint she is also from AGT!

Hi Ken,
I'm not sure, if I have written that to you (can't find my comment in the 460 comments on your first AG reaction ;-) ) ...so I send you my latest summery for AJ newbies (even if you reacted already to 3 covers from her)
wellcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistence is futil...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on youtube with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...
She is born 10th Januar 2006, sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independed - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).
First of all here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club:

...here in between NGT and AGT you will find a huge selection of videos with Angelina and each of it will blow your mind.
...her originals (1-3) and songs especialy wrote for her (4+5):
1. "Shield": my favorite - several versions:
* live in a TV show ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
* audio from a studio recording ua-cam.com/video/XVtUZWHmY8Y/v-deo.html
* music video by her granma ua-cam.com/video/DJRNtjek9Gs/v-deo.html
2. "Oslo": ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html
3. "What Is Life": ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html -
4. "Song for A": ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html - there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie (the woman in the lyrics) or both of them ;-)
5. "Above the water": ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my prefered genre ;-)
... here her "mini concert" from AGT (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...):
"Bohemian Rhapsody": ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html
“Someone You Loved": ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html
And here is a video where it is explained (with english subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the norwegian TV (with english subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her granma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real multitalent and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
And last but not least the newest (as far as I know) video of AJ singing in a rehearsal - uploaded August 10th 2020: ua-cam.com/video/4jU9Hhf3ayo/v-deo.html
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the megafans like Fernando F., Rusty ...
And a little Question:
You reacted already to her live version of "I Put A Spell On You" in the German TV show Little Big Shots BUT...
You realy should also watch her b/w studio version of this song -AND:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html - that's real fun :-D ) - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! ...and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
she is a jazz singer period
She is 9 here (or least it was posted when she was 9), and this is during a time period where she was sick, or just getting unsick, and you can hear the crack in her voice, the extra raspiness, and some pitch problems. But sick or not, when she agrees to perform, you can count on her to be there, especially for a charity function like this one. We all know what an incredible talent she is, but she is also someone who possesses the kind of character that we admire: kind, humble, generous, funny, and caring, while also focused, determined, and dedicated. She is a terrific role model for young and old alike. Thanks for another great reaction, Ken. 😊💕 P. S.: At 14, Angelina has just signed with Republic Records, one of the top companies in the recording industry (Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and many other big names). The rocket has launched, and now she will be marketed to the world. Here comes Stardom!
IMO, she is most special around 12 years of age. She churned out so many stunning performances around that time. Namely, covering Adele's Million Years Ago and Someone Like You, Lana del Ray's Born to Die and Young and Beautiful, Rihanna's Stay. Regarding Stay, Angelina really shows her masterclass level vibrato. This is her number one performance IMO. In fact in this performance you will hear her vibrato exactly the way you described and more. It;'s beautiful.
Who is the youngest solo artist to go Platinum in music history? Hint she is also from AGT!
ua-cam.com/video/0qGn641IG-Y/v-deo.html.
From Iowa, USA; Updated ...
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records.
3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music.
4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Hopefully this will remain as she continues her career with Republic.
5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot and I hope by now that you have discovered the incredible reason why she does that.
6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old!
7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
Thanks for info ❤❤❤
It's nice to see Angelina put a smile on your face after two seconds. :)
She is awesome 💚
I Love this girl, her voice, she is amazing, oh my for! Beatifull, beatifull, beatifull ...😍👏👏👏👏👏
Oh! my God!
Correction:Oh! My God!
you should check out Angelina doing 'born to die'
An angel with thousand voices. Enchanting voice
I really enjoy listening to your critique of other performers. Your use of the English language I also appreciate; in other words I like listening to you.
She commands the audience and mesmerizes us!🦢🌹🦢🌹🦢🌹🦢
Your "spell words" are so fantastic love it...what in my opinion is such a great gift of angelina is the understanding of the meaning and the feeling of that kind of music...I love when she does "fly me to the moon" or " bang bang" from nancy sinatra.
Thanks.
I love your reaction to her, she is truly amazing...thank you.
"She never wastes an opportunity to invest character into every note." Excellent observation. Most of us can recognize Angelina's singing after the first musical bar.
She was getting over a cold❤🎶
👍🏻Nice job. You nailed it at the end, there. A child prodigy. & a genius. I’m sure you’ve researched her by now. She’s an all around astonishing person😊 7/24/22
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 reaction, & agree, her lower register is an unexplained phenomenon!!!
Quite hypnotic, addictive and loving it.
The joy and appreciation on your face while listening to this protege is the best review. An astonishing talent - she brings you along for the ride in each of her performances and she surrounds and captures your soul with her first note. Whether you are aware or not you are on the journey with her experiencing awe, goose bumps and tears. She leaves you astonished and overwhelmed and so moved that you don’t know what just happened. So young! So talented!
Oh my goodness! How does anyone not fall in love with this little girl? She is so talented and she just keeps getting better. Good for her. I wish her all the best. Thank you for sharing this video. Absolutely love it.
Hey coach ken, I believe the question is HOW ? Could a super special super star god's gifted child entertainer at such young age convey and deliver the most beautiful voice and music to perfection. She is the Queen of Music .taking difficult/hard songs to sing and arrange it kicking in a little stylistic colors then delivering it beautifully . that's the most amazing vocalist that's walking on this planet. BAM !!! that's what I'm talking about .
She was born with the sound and songs already in her. Most of us, including some celebrities, learn a song from the outside in. Angelina is opposite. She knows from inside herself what it should sound like. She gives birth to it.
Lisa, a judge on NGT told her, “You are your music.” Angelina’s face lit up. She usually has small modest reactions to praise. I’m referring to “Gloomy Sunday.”
She doesn’t always use an ending consonant.
That's great .Jordan...
Lots of love to u sir for crosschecking the voice and music...because it is a tough task to do..thanks for doing such a wonderful task...
Our family likes your comments....
Lots of love and wishes from
DEEP SENSE.
India.
She loves to hug and hang into the mic like that. She does that a lot.
You can tell by the teeth that this is AFTER Norway's Got Talent, so I peg this at either late 8 or early 9. She looks about the same age here as in "I Put a Spell On You" video.
A Million Years Ago or Back in Black really help showcase her darker tones beautifully
There is so many wonderful memories of our Angel sitting in listening to the tributes to her grandfather and Whitney Houston and if you have ever lost a loved grandfather you know that's such heart break that many of us could not even speak to at a funeral yet Angelina's wish to share with everyone her love for her grandfather with us all her broken heart and soul and I could not make it through her tribute with out tears streaming down my face to have her touch your heart and soul you see love transcends all when you share your heart and soul with the people whom you love you are loved and Angelina Jordan who has touched millions of people hearts and souls and she will always remain in my heart and soul her grandfather's tribute song is you we're always on my mind by Elvis Presley and with just a guitar player and Angelina Jordan sitting in the chair with her grandfather's picture on her phone right beside her on the couch you will have a hard time getting through her tribute to him singing with all of her heart even when it's breaking l stand in awe of Angelina Jordan who has donated million to poor children and families and environmental cause she has done so much for so many 😇🎼🇳🇴🇨🇦 stay safe everyone life is beautiful ps only love can break a heart and soul and only love can heal a broken heart and soul and Angelina Jordan who has shared her love for us all is healing our hearts and souls could you please react to Angelina Jordan's cover of Tom Jones l who have nothing in the studio practicing session when she was just 6 year's old and also a cover of etta James l would rather go blind she is amazing she is the only one who is able to do this song justice in this day and age the open air concert in Oslo Norway cover of James Brown it's a man's world and watch the conductor near the end now I don't know a lot about music but I am sure that conductor does as he looks over at Angelina Jordan in awe you have to know that he has been doin this for a long time I think he's amazed by Angelina as we all are you too she has the voice of a thousand Angels great reaction to this cover she had the flu at the time and she sings with bare feet to honour the poor children and families whom when she met a little girl who had no shoes when she was just a little girl herself and gave that little girl her shoes and said that she would never proform on stage with shoes on and you know that even when its winter in Norway she sings with out shoes 😇🇨🇦 stay safe everyone 🙏 life is beautiful
Hi Ken - great reaction. I would like to point out that I believe Angelina's rendition is based on Etta James' performances. One can hear strong similarities in inflections, timing, phrasing, runs, etc. IMHO this performance is one of Angelina's 1,000 voices that honor the original singers.
Go back to age six where Angelina is in a recording studio recording I Who Have Nothing a Shirley Bassy and Tom Jones classic. At six? It will blow you away.
Amazing voice 🥰
you should listen when angelina sings for the first time to see if she is in the contest and sings a cappella at the age of seven a billie holiday song is amazing i think angelina has the most captivating vibrato i have ever heard
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ "She never wastes an opportunity to invest character into every note." You are absolutely right, and this is one of the reasons why her singing is so captivating. Every note from Angelina is a mini-drama imbued with emotion and character.
Each note is a song unto itself... The sound is endless, so incredibly full. Tempo is sloowwww... So rich. Brilliant...
Angelina consert in Japan..👌
Thank you so much !!! Please react Angelina Jordan more
Angelina's performance of "Every Time We Say Goodbye" from TV 2 is great. I would love to see you react to it.
Late in response, however your right she was sick with a cold and wanted to perform anyway.. she doesn't want to disappoint anyone . Thank you for playing her music. This old soul is fantastic.. God Bless her.
It's fun to try to "unravel the mystery" of her voice. So many professionals do that. As your heart and soul succumb to her you will eventually, and happily, admit defeat and just accept that the mystery will always be a an element of her charm. It feels great. BTW, speechlessness when witnessing an Angelina performance is actually a sure sign of humility, an endearing quality you obviously possess.
Angelina's grandma was a child prodigy in poetry and painting.I see Angelina as a vocal poet,getting the most from every word and phrase,coloring the emotions in like a painter would a painting.
I recommend her the video of her singing A Million Years Ago... I cry every time I watch the video. So beautiful
I cry when I see either of the Million miles videos
Agreed 👍
I knew you would appreciate this one from Angelina. You are so right that she never misses an opportunity to add character and color to a word or phrase. This song is an excellent example of it. If you dig a little there is a video of her rehearsing this song for another show. In the first run, the tempo is too fast and she is not pleased with pace of it. She turns to the band and gives some direction, and they come back on the second run with the tempo slowed... and wow, it gives her all the room she needs to weave a beautiful tapestry of sounds in the extra space. It's just one of the many examples of her artistry and skill....at 8 years old. Also (as others have said), it's a little hard to hear in this one, but she is recovering from a little cold here.
Agree.
You are absolutely right !!!. Accelerating the music is lack of maturity of the musicians, or even ignorance !!!!!. They misrepresent, leaving the music like this without coloring their words !!. Stupid act !!. Speeding up music, perhaps to make it end soon, perhaps due to ignorance and functional and professional incapacity, totally deforming it, disrespecting the path of colors that words and phrases need to contain and thus differentiating it from the original. I've seen this stupidity in many songs by several famous artists, this is sad !!!!. Exterminate the quality of the music !!!!.
Quando canta Angelina si vorrebbe che cantasse sempre .Dio quanto è brava questa creatura.
Wicked game....it’s fantastic!
One thing that you may have missed in terms of her expertise is her phraseology. Her timing is impeccable.
The mystery that is Angelina Jordan - I think I've figured out at least part of it.
She's learned music in the same way we all learn how to speak. Long befor we understand the words our parents use when they speak to us, we are fully capable of understanding the melody and the tone in their voice. As toddlers we are encouraged to try and even if we can't form the words properly we constantly get _"rewards"_ by those around us. It's thanks to her parents and other family members who at an early age realized that this girl wanted to sing and they never told her not to.
In her "I Will Always Love You" performance at 1½, I love how she tries to stop but her mother encourages her to go on, and that's when Angelina really starts to put her little heart into it. (And then what she does at the very end of the clip… I don't even know how to interpret that. :)
Yozhik Sorry to disagree. The explanation that I believes comes closest is that she is more directly connected to the collective unconscious than the rest of us "normal" folks. But I don't think we'll ever truly know. If we try to understand the sudden emergence of musical genius in the autistic savant, that might lead us closer to finding a reasonable explanation.
Your next stop is "It's a Man's World - Angelina Jordan and Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018" at 12 years old. She gets standing ovations from her band and the crowd, of course.
You should go back to NGT when she was 7yrs old , she ws recovering from a cold when she sang At Last
Just an amazing vocal on a unique girl
If you haven't seen her NGT audition and performances, please take a look. You'll get the idea clearly that this was a child of extraordinary talent, natural gifts and an understanding of jazz classics that is simply unbelievable. Those get you ready for the constant astonishment to come :)
I subscribed to your channel when you first reacted to Angelina but did not comment at that times. So I do so now.BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Angelina re-arranges the majority of the songs she sings, both melody and lyrics, to more truly reflect how she feels the song should be sung. She does this with many of her cover songs. Her fans call it "Angelina-fying" a song.
My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". What did I see? Well, it was a seven-year-old child, with wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. And that was when the perception of seeing a "normal" child ended and things turned upside down. She confidently answered the questions put to her by a Judge. Declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and then started singing. The body of the 7-year-old was still there but the voice wasn't. Or was it? I was surprised then and that surprise is still with me, some six years later.
I have followed her career since I saw that first video on UA-cam and in the six years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others. What is more extraordinary is that she takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. She never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. And I'll add an even more extraordinary item for you to consider, to show how unique she is. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener.
As I have noted, I have been following her career a long time and have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What stands out for me is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing.
Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with background music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world.
Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions.
Somehow I missed your reaction to Angelina singing "I put a spell on you" and you ask "How?" That performance was a modified version as she had been advised that singing as she did in the performance she gave at 9 years of age would injure her vocal chords.In the comments to that reaction you are asked to react to the performance of this song at the age of 9 and I suggest you do so. Not only I, but her many thousands of fans, feel that Reactors deserve to be exposed to this, performance :-) Here is the link. age 9 - Studio Performance:I put a spell on you ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzC/v-deo.html

One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order.Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
Right, you can't understand where it comes from until you realize that it is a gift from God. Prodigals who realize what they love to do most and have support from parents can skyrocket into their God-given gift!!
A great reaction. Wish you would explore more of this wonderful singer, I will expect that you will get many goosebumps ahead. : )
I have nothing......she done the song justice!
I don't see it often but a favorite of mine is her, at 6 yrs old, studio version of "I who have nothing" by Tom Jones. You will be amazed, bewildered and touched by the genius of this tiny human being.
I love your reactions .. thank you! She's playing with it alot at this age and learning about slides etc.. so sometimes that can sound "pitchy" .. she is magnificent and i love your word "fearless" about her vocal meanderings.
She's only 14 eight now. 😊
Thank you. I love your reactions and understanding of her talent. I just love her.
The Control! I'm bangin' my forehead with the heel of my palm with my right hand!🤦
They called Delia Derbyshire 'A Sculptress Of Sound'. I think that with Angelina we have another such artist.
A man’s world is a must!
Another good reaction. Thanks! Pretty much everything I would say is in the comments, including suggestions. I like what you do. I love listening to Angelina. Works for me. This wasn't her best, but you still feel it. Keep them coming.
Yellow Brick Road ♡
Diamonds are forever and Its a mans world❤️❤️❤️
Subscribing in hopes you will do more Angelina Jordan reactions!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Hi Ken, you should react to "Feeling Good" by her! Amazing! And more: "Wicked Games", "I'll be there", "It's a Man's World", "Stay" 🤩
azja 666 lets not forget "I"d Rather Go Blind" ..I'm not sure I've come across a vocal coach reaction to this as yet...it's in my top 5...
Yeah, she was sick during this performance, but she still wanted to sing and what a trooper for doing this! Can you believe if she wasn't sick, she would have sounded even better! Still did one heck of a job!
A million years ago is another great one!
Great reaction - thank you very much. Currently, I am loving La Boheme and also A Song for A - but there is virtually nothing she has song that I don't love. Hope to hear more from you, Ken.
New song out “Million Miles” with Republic records. Enjoyed ur reactions on Anglina Jordan.
Its been said already, but this was a benefitt event she truly believes in, so while she was pretty sick she still performed so, considering her hoarseness, she performed this song better than most fully healthy.
I cry when ever I see any of the three Million Miles videos.
This was for a children’s charity, and in spite of her cold insisted on performing. Yo must also remember that English is her third language, after Norwegian, and Farsi, she also speaks Japanese, her grandfather was Japanese.
Did you say PITCHY.....THAT IS ANGELINA JORDANS PITCHY...FOR A REASON....✌️❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅🌎✝️
This girl is so beautiful I have been watching her for years I’m a grown man and she still makes me cry
Hi, great reaction, and yes i'm also blown away by Angelina's singing. If you wish to really feel her i may recommend some of her rehearsal videos. You can see more of her personality there and she's really amazing. My favorites is 'Angelina Jordan rehearsal (I'm a fool to want you)' ua-cam.com/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/v-deo.html . which was filmed with a mobile phone in a studio singing booth when she recorded the It's Magic album. She is so natural and amazing ....
Angelina is awesome. Truly a talent can't wait to hear what she brings us over the years
@Ken - Check out Sohyang from Korea - her rendition of 'Bridge over Trouble waters'. 'Raise me up' and 'Ariang Alone' is likewise amazing.
I believe she was still sick here from her performance at the Noble Peace Prize Concert where she sang barefoot In below freezing temperature. As to where to go Her development from nine through ten is incredible. You can listen to her development which is mind bending. For fun you should listen to her (I believe 12 year old) performance of “I Would Rather Go Blind).
They need to get her a warming pad to stand on in such situations.
Yes, you are correct. She was sick, but still awesome. Extraordinary integrity, character, and determination for one so young!
She had a terrible cold they try to get her stay home she wouldn’t do it
Yes sick
She was pint-sized in the video you react to, but at the time of your reaction she was 13 and 6 feet tall.
ken...I have been searching for her performance of " You make me feel so young"
There are 250 comments now and I am sure someone mentioned it but here she is 8 years old as I recall.
She owns the stage and she did not over sing it .
Interesting back story on this song & the rehearsal 4 this song 4 this show.
When doing the rehearsal of doing this song, the band was off tempo & after a few attempts, Angelina had to politely correct the band on the tempo of this song. This girl knows music inside & out!! When she does rehearsals, she will correct a musician if they are off. But, she is always very humble when correcting these musicians.
Angelina holding the mike..she does that sometimes, i think she just like it :)) you should listento her: "it s a man’s world" it s a live, outdoor consert, with our full military orchestra. She is 12 in that one. Love from Norway🇳🇴
