Yes, this has become a classic on its own. Here, Angelina, at 9 yrs 2 mos old, has captured the essence of the original song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956 in her arrangement. In the intro you can see her writing out and passing last-minute changes to the arrangement to a member of the band. They may have gone in that day and been taken aback by playing for a nine-year-old, but by the end of the day they were calling her, "The Boss." After auditioning for Norway's Got Talent at seven and winning it at eight, she was literally a professional by age 9! Now, at sixteen, she has written 5 songs, sung two written for her, and covered about 170 other songs of 75 different artists. And, she signed to Republic Records at age 14. She is the real deal.
Every time I see this I'm still blown away. I also find myself thinking a lot about those amazing musicians doing this cover with her. They are extremely good! That thought also makes me remember that they loved Angelina and called her "boss"! She ran the show apparently .. which none of us would be surprised to hear ... she is exceptional, and off the chart talented!
Yes, Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old in this performance. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and she based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The video has received 9,559,247 views and 8,121 Comments. Worthy of note in this video are (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The occasions where Angelina gave silent instructions to the band (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The instant transformation for "permanence" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I remark on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. You have seen in the comments that Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The chameleon of Song" for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the colour of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners You should go and watch Screamin' Jay's performance. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html
The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time. 9 years old and does her own arrangements. Crazy I suggest her 4 songs, in order with CC, on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old. Some reactors do all 4 in 1 reaction. You can see her progress. 10 minutes Also 4 songs at 6. Especially Rolling in the Deep and I Who Have Nothing.
There have been so many speechless reactors after reacting to this song. This song was the one that really hooked me to Angelina and watching reactions to her incredible singing, and, yes, I was speechless too the first time.

On your Angelina Jordan playlist I noticed you have none of her Norway's got talent videos at seven",I who nothing" at six her first professional studio recording. But please react first to her Whitney Houston tribute to the classic "I have nothing".This is Angelina in all beast mode, unleashes the 🐲.🇨🇦💖
Angelina is 9 yo here. This is truly "girlpower"! And she sings in English! That's her third language of 5-6! You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina READ, WRITE and SING English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways.
I would argue that English was her fourth language. Her "original" languages were Swedish and Persian but her parents moved to Norway. I know Norwegian is similar to Swedish but still a different language.
Greetings from Scotland! Ha ha! I wondered when you'd get to this performance Tehillah! One of my favourites videos to watch reactions too! YES, this was A.J. singing! She is a child prodigy! This was a tribute to the famous Screamin' Jay Hawkins, (On the candle at the start), an American singer-songwriter, musician, actor, film producer, and boxer! His version was right at the extreme end of music, if you get a chance view it! A.J. was around 8/9yo here and this was the only time she sang it in this extreme fashion because it would damage her voice to keep doing this style. In the beginning you see her making notes on the score and handing to the musical sheet to the musical director, he looks at it, smiles and agrees it is an improvement! This girl always comes out prepared but never 100% happy with her performance. At the end she puts her hand up to her chin with the look that says, "Hmm, I can improve on that performance!" A truly incredible artist! Great reaction as always!
Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣👸🏻 You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
She handles the singing as well as the arrangement with the musicians. She brings forth her own version, much more expansive in lyrics than the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. You'll never hear another 9 year old do something as extraordinary as this, for it comes across as if an adult jazz singer is doing it.
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 ❤💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS***
When a person who is emotionally healthy hers or sees true and God given talent we react with tears of joy because deep down we are joyful for the gift we are given by them and by the Almighty. Our good fortune to be here to hear such is as close to a quire of Angels as we can get on earth. :)
This was a memorable reaction, and it was even more than expected. Thank you so much for your support of Angelina and her channels and I know she appreciates it.
You have a new Sub RT. Love your reactions and comments to the music genius/prodigy Angelina. This one here is simply mind blowing and a pure masterpiece of music from this little 9 year old girl, as she has oh so many masterpieces of vocal splendor. Thanks for all the support you show her on your channel as well.

From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹 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. AJ began singing at 18 months. Her grandmother was a jazz/blues fan and played that genre of music for AJ. She fell in love with it very early on and has even arranged most if not all that she sings from age 8. What an incredible talent. 4. Currently in 2022 she is in her mid-teenage years, stands 6 foot tall and still performs barefoot. The backstory of her encounter with the homeless girl she met while she traveled with her family through Iran at age 6 includes the weather damaged bare feet of the child she gave her own shoes to. 5. The reason she performs barefoot is to bring awareness to her public of the children worldwide who can't afford shoes of their own. She has raised millions of dollars for clothing including shoes for those unfortunate children. 💕 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother). 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 my age of 7.
Wonderful reaction and thank you so much for providing links to the original video and to Angelina's two UA-cam channels AND for encouraging viewers to subscribe to her channels. I encourage everyone to watch the original video as it is approaching 10 million views. Be sure to hit the like and post a comment on both the original video and to this reaction video.
I love watching first time reactions to this song . your the second today, oh I love a good laugh. amazing isn't she . just subscribed, start at beginning watch all 4 of her NORWAY GOT TALENT performances, aged 7/8 .
Thanks, Royal T - this is one of my favorites by her - when she was NINE - she is now older and has more of a career writing her own songs.. but some history -- this link explains why she performs barefoot - and also features her singing at age SIX -- ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html
Why I don't watch women's reactions to any song, they all tend to enjoy hearing themselves talk more than listening to the artist singing, they cut them off right in the middle of the best riff's and ramble on with meaningless babble instead of waiting till the end before giving comment!
ONE in a TRILLION!!! God….please….protect her!❤️
Amen
Angelina Jordan in BEAST MODE. 😎
Was thinking that too ..... I still can't believe she did that😲
I will say this for the rest of my life; This NEVER gets OLD......watching peoples reaction to this song by ANGELina ❣
