Here's the original! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqudatd419Cte58.html

12 years old, dude, and with a military orchestra! I don't think there is anyone who after hearing this, does not have the absolute certainty of being before the next queen of the music scene.

Incredible ... soul-jazz-blues ... all in one package .... beautiful Angelina Jordan ... I'm new to commenting but I just couldn't let this performance go by without saying how mesmerized I was by it ... still smiling .... 🤩

She, effortlessly, takes this James Brown classic into and beyond the stratosphere. Her versatility is unmatched by any singer I have ever experienced.

The greatest VOICE!!!! Absolutely MAGICAL!!!! ABSOLUTE!!!!!!!!!!

I found something interesting. The conductor breaks character at 6:46, staring at Angelina, shaking his head. It looks awesome. My guess is that she didn't do it the same way during the rehearsal. If you listen to the Spotify official recording, you will find she only repeats about 4 times at the top of the note (ululating, or whatever it is called). Here, she goes all the way to 11 or something like that. It makes for an incredible climax. Probably surprised the conductor. Notice also how the clarinette players react at 1:51. Pure joy.

Angelina is exactly where she is most at home; comfy, cozy and FREE... Whether at home sitting on the couch with a guitarist, or track. Whether on a stage with her band, or a full orchestra, whether a small venue or outdoor crowd, it's HOME for her... She's doing what she loves, and with a passion that leaves your head spinning.. Angelina is doing what she was BORN to do, she is sharing an unmatched gift with which she was blessed...Comfy & confident she jumps in fearlessly, totally committed and has the talent and pipes at her command... Really enjoyed this reaction... PEACE!!! 🙏🏻🎶👍🏻🎼🎹🎤🎧🎵🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥

As the some who are lucky enough to see her live says... You never heard Angelina until you hear her sing live in person.

Jess, you were rightly impressed by the presence of Angelina's voice. I am even more impressed by Angelina's overall presence. She is, impossibly, both totally in the moment with her musicians and audience and totally in her otherworldly, closed-eyes creative space at the same time. And that contributes greatly to the presence of her voice. That makes sense to me. I hope it does to you and all her angels viewing this.

When you got it, you just got it! And she's got it! Did you see how the band leader looked over at her in shock and awe when she did that long belting run near the end? By the look on his face, I don't think that was part of the rehearsal! Angelina has magic tricks she pulls out of her bag from time to time.

After this the world is not more a man's world, now the world belongs to this girl with the amazing Voice. Her new Album is coming very soon, she actually announced on the flight to UK ✌️🙏💓

Yeah, Angelina was on fire in this one! Even the conductor and band applauded. Great reaction as always, sir!

Notice how nervous and jerky she is LOL. It's like she is waiting for a bus. She has said in her interviews, that she never gets nervous, and we know it is because she knows what she is going to do, and how to go about it. She was born to do this; how could she go wrong!!

An epic performance by a 12 year old... 12.. 😳 Thats so freakin insane 😳❤️ Did you see the conductor on her incredible belt at the end there...? He was shooked 🤣❤️

Never ceases to amaze me. I've heard this many many times and it's flat out mind blowing. Amateur audio and video and is better than major record label artists. Don't tell me this little chic can't rock. Album and concerts coming.

This would be a pretty amazing live performance for a 35-year old global jazz star at her absolute peak. For a twelve year old girl, singing outdoor live, and the performance recorded on a mobile phone - are you kidding me? This is totally insane - and yet, it stands alongside perhaps another thirty earthshattering performances by Angelina, rather than completely outshining them. Mindblowing!

Excellent reaction for a great performance!

I so glad you went to Angelina for a feel good pick-me-up. How often do the conductor and the band members applaud for a performer, basically never. She was definitely on fire. Not only was this recoded on a phone but there is a pond between the stage and the audience. Can you imagine how wonderful she sounded in person. I’m so glad you were able to end in a joyous mood ❤

Another great reaction. When Angelina steps on the stage and grabs that microphone she's all business. No showing off just telling the story the way she imagines it. I don't know what it is about this young lady but never in my life have I been attached to a musical artist like I am her. I literally get Angelina withdrawals if I don't listen to her every day. it's crazy.

A pleasant surprise to see this today. This one eluded you up to this point. She effortlessly slays this! I love the reaction of the conductor... she saved the full 💯 for this performance, EPIC

I had no idea you hadn't reacted to this video yet -- you just made my day! One of the favorite AJ performances. I love the way the she riffs with the lead clarinet -- and kicks his butt with her final run.

Angelina goes to bat four times and hits four home runs on this performance. Thumbs up sir, loved the reaction.

I love at 6:47 when the conductor just shakes his head in disbelief. Since they had practiced before I am guessing she just threw that in unexpectedly. It is crazy how amazing she is even live, usually better than the studio version.

I am very happy with your reactions to Angelina's covers and originals, because your vision of Sound Engineer and Singer brings us pertinent observations about the dynamics of the skills that our Angelina brings us, work after work, showing all the nuances of her art. It is always enriching to observe a genius developing and impacting everyone who observes it with great quality. Very happy to intuit that the best is yet to come!

Her "Cry Me A River" with this band is also amazing!

The band gave AJ a standing ovation. KZfaq MASTERPIECE 💯💯💯

The best version of this song I have ever heard.

"Different level of comfortablity" .... sooooo much POWER in her quiet....and then when she has to top the orchestra volume... THE 💣 BOMB! Great reaction!

I just love her accent.

Awesome reaction to 12 Angelina as always. She hit that so far out of the park, that they can't find it. She did that song again live that same year 2018 when she was 12 but at Kongsberg and with her small stage band, and it gave a more intimate feel and of course she did differently, but it's audio only. Please react to it, you'll really love it and the guitar solo in it also.❤👍

It was recorded on a (cellphone?) camera on the other side across a pond! 🤯 You can see it when you watch the video to its end. Amazing how much clarity and definition is in her voice even with all these voice attenuators.

One of her best.......speechless...effortless......just sailed through..a great talent indeed......most singers struggle with this huge song......she glides and sails enjoying the view...wow...thanks for your reaction...sure does lift the spirits.

Luv your point about Angelina being so humble as she sings.... surely she must know how unique and powerful her performances are... AND with all of us adoring fans fawning over her, watching (enjoying) these reactions it must be a terrible temptation for her to become arrogant. BTW another great reaction sir!

...What a great tribute to the King of Soul!! … James B. would be honored … Phenomenal!! 💎 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you

Angelina's Voice Projection is AMAZING & That was Live and Thru a Cell Phone !!!!!!!

A Masterpiece from her - and done so effordless! 👋

Pure power and she really brings out the Jazz in this one. Thought you would have done this so a pleasant surprise you hadn't and I could watch it with you. Another one at the top of my list. No one like her! ♥👣👸🏻🎷

Thanks for this one Jess. I know I knocked you down a bit with the Lara request, but nice to see you back up in spirit with Angelina....she will always lift your spirits. You are correct, this 12 year old came out swinging in total control of the huge Norwegian Military orchestra with confidence and poise as always. Stay well Jess. Next

Thats the best version ever of this song, 12years old and angelina is singing amazing with this wonderful bigband , ilove it so much, that i listen the cd every day since many years 👑♥️🌹💫

One of my favs

Angelina kill'n it, and so relaxed; making it look easy.

Always love your reactions.

She just makes your whole day better .,enjoyed your reaction 👍

This is exactly what I needed too.. right this moment! Thank you 💖!

She did come out swinging bags of confidence one of my favorite performances by this stellar artist. I’ve liked seeing you becoming an unashamed fan

Yeah a magnificent performance and she is hitting those notes in her head/mixed voice with sniper precision while at the same sounding casual about it. Angelina hits me with those notes like a sniper as well: hitting the spots of the brains where all the good stuff happens :-)

You had the same first time reaction as I did, I just started lauging because she is so good! Thanks so much for sharing 💖

Thanks Jess for this one, its been a while since my last listen of this performance. I just love her voice, the phrasing and the easy attitude, just love it. I love to watch the reaction of musicians behind her, its always admiration and great respect of this young lady. Just hope i'll have a chance someday to hear her live. Waiting like everyone for the album this year. Have a good day.

Norwegian crowds of so much more subdued. At 12 years old… my God I would have been passed out in the aisle. 🌺

Loved the reaction. AJ will be the greatest singer in our generation... maybe ever

❤️❤️❤️🥰🇩🇪

Thx Jesse for this one, another performance by A.J. crammed into my "Top Ten". Here she is just grooving to the music and absolutely killing this James Brown iconic song. What else can you say it is as easy as breathing for this young lady. WOW. Thx again, keep it up.

At 1:53! Yep, that's the exact reaction I was expecting from you to start the song, Jess! Another great Angelina reaction. Thanks. Cheers. 👼

Great reaction, phenomenal performance from Angelina. She is indeed swinging - irrespective of her mindboggling age here, this is a superb version of this classic song. So much personality, so much vocal prowess, rhythm, everything....... the only thing that makes me sad is that I am not there to hear this live......

Great reaction to a truly great performance ! I love reactions from singers as they understand the greatness of what she does... I don't think any audio technician was involved - it was just recorded by Boris on his phone.... Must have been so great to hear live.

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

Thank you Jess for a beautiful reaction to a stellar performance from an amazing singer, loved everything, she was only 12 here!💛 🧡 ❤

I plain and simply love listening to Angelina, get lost in it; and you are a great megaphone for enhancing that experience even more. Thank you for what you bring.

When you see performances like this, you realize how much restraint she uses most of the time...

Jess this was a fabulous song Angelina was unbelievable 🙃

Just another day at the office for Angelina....so calm relaxed and her Gramma recorded it on her cell for crying out loud! Love your reactions and you explain it perfectly!!!!

I’d like to report a murder, she killed it

Ok...I'm going to admit it....I've watched reactions to this performance maybe 50 times. I'm free from Brandon Syndrome and do remember the previous 49 reactions .....AND STILL, EVERYTIME...I whoop and clap loudly and talk to the reactor on my big screen TV like we're both sharing this experience live in Norway. Time for some other Grown Adults, here, to admit they do the same thing.

Only 2 months since I found Angelina and just can't stop listening, especially to performances like THIS. Unbelievable. I've told at least 15 people about her and none had heard of her before. How is that possible?? So I've decided all of us here on KZfaq listening to this vocal magician must be what it was like to be at the Cavern Club in early 1962 hearing this phenomenal but unknown group called "The Beatles", who had not yet been discovered by the rest of the world ... but soon would be.

Angelina is amazing!!!

Jesse, this performance blew my mind. I had just discovered her singing A Million Years Ago and didn't think she could improve on that! But she did! The poise, soul, power and control off the charts. Keeps getting better!

Barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. Greetings from Poland

Awesome reaction and if you watch the rest of the video, the band and audience give a standing ovation! It was definitely Epic, God Bless!

OUTSTANDING reaction as usual!!!

and honestly your reactions are tip top!

Amazing!! You and Angelina of course! 😊🇧🇻

This twelve year old phenom is letting the world know that she is the current reigning queen of the jazz genre.

We’re so used to the intimate breathy vocal fry ballads w one instrument but here shes singing out and at times very loud but stays in pitch n placement without screaming. Just solid earnestness in her punches. Standing in front of a horn orchestra she kept right up in her own brassiness. I love seeing the horn players hearing it all. Its a treat for them too.

Now you have to put on some good headphones and sit back, close your eyes and listen to her (audio only) performance of IAMW, the same year (2018), at Kongsberg with the same 4 piece band she performed with last year...that's the one you're gonna want to play in your car...gritty jazz/blues with a mental guitar outro...Angelina sounds like Elvis when she says "tusen takk" after the applause

I love your expression and shaking of your head on her final run...... She sang this song at the Kongsberg Jazz festival a few weeks later and there is a only audio video on YT available and it is professionally recorded by the festival organizer. It is with the same small jazz band she used in last summer concerts. Here is the link to the video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8uFgcKeudbQYX0.html You can have a listen when you can

Excellent reaction, Jess. Have a great weekend! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Stunning She did several performances of this song. This is my favorite although the recordings of the other two are higher quality. Her live performances are a quality of their own.

Bravo uno dei pochi che ha veramente capito il capolavoro naturale che ha Angelina.

So good! Great reaction and your hoodie is awsome.😎🇸🇪

After the summer of 2018 there are no other full performances from Angelina for this song. Only recently about 3 months ago she posted a short video (1 minute) of her playing the guitar and singing it's a man's world on her Instagram reel. Someone posted it on YT. here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLelqphjtKiaio0.html

It’s an AJ World

I really think Angelina is an encyclopedia of emotion, At each stage in her life we all know that it would be impossible for her to have experienced all the emotional events of the WORDS in her lyrics. For example the word LOVE may be in the lyrics but when Angelina sings it, it becomes more than just a word, it becomes an emotion that we feel, not just a word we hear. I have been trying to understand why I now FEEL the emotions and meanings that have been hidden in the music I have been listening to during my 77 years. Sure there have been those performers who have on occasion managed to hit the emotional bullseye but NEVER, EVER has anyone done it within the first 30 seconds of every song and so far in every genre. New words must be used to describe her and her abilities.

I love your reaction😊❤❤❤❤

Nice reaction. Great comments.

One of my favourite,s she has even the band in disbelief what she is doing.this is amazing!❤❤

Yeah..Angelina bringing it at, I think, 12 yo! She is pretty much untouchable. SO relaxed, swaying back and forth, firing off belt notes/phrases interspersed with soft jazz rifts with bent notes and seemingly casual vibrato and varying dynamics..but it's all intentional. Nice reaction!

Notice the musos reactions: you can just make out a ladies face in the right hand back of the orchestra (flautist?), the look of bliss on her face, the 2 guys playing woodwind in the front left, can't hold back a smile, and even the conductor, when Angelina belts out those protracted notes towards the end, can't help himself but give her a smile and a look from the side... What must it be like to be a seasoned musician, and see a young slip of a girl come out on a stage, in front of a crowd and absolutely shred the music with such power and finesse.... ? Awe inspiring, breathtakingly so. Loving your observations and analysis

You’re right, they rehearsed a lot, but they still were not ready for what she did live in this performance, even the conductor shook his head in disbelief.

Awesome reaction!🎼👍🏼💞

I suggest that you buy a copy of her CD "It's Magic " all the songs that she sings with this band are on it and the audio is so much better. I think my favorite song on it is "Sing Softly Love"

I’m surprised you haven’t seen Angelina do this‼️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

😀😀😀😀😀

🥰

It's AJ's world !!!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have to say I really appreciate the way that you evaluate Angelina. It was like you needed some life, like you’ve been through a lot today, well at least the day that you are evaluating the song. And I could just tell you needed a pick me up,..and she did just that.🥳😄

Elle a une voix incroyable, elle est plutôt décontractée, à l'aise, elle est dans son élément. Bravo pour votre analyse. Écoutez Bang Bang. C'est très touchant, vous ne le regretterez pas. Bonne continuation

There was something special about this particular performance. The first clarinet went a little overboard, Angelina stepped up in response - I think we can agree that Angelina won the contest. The performances before and after never quite reached this level, it's something about how musicians interact, somehow giving a slightly different performance each time - we were lucky that Boris Palenovski was there with his trusty simple camcorder to bring this to us.

Thats an E5! Amazing and she's 12.
