She is nine years old here. This is her cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins' performance of this song. He is the writer of this song and quite a wild performer. Angelina loves to honor the writers and original performers of any song she covers. She also, by the way, rearranges everything she touches and makes it her own. She has never, since this song, sung anything like this. I feel that at the end you can see it had an effect on her. Angelina is undoubtedly an old soul .. and on top of that, she is considered a musical genius .. a "savant". This performance will probably always be a part of our musical history .. because of her age and her performance .. and also because it's her own arrangement of the song. It is nothing short of brilliant. As you both probably saw .. she is no normal nine year old .. but what you may not know is what an extraordinary human being she is .. empathic, amazingly generous and is blessed with a wonderful family who is protecting her in her journey with music. Even though she is now signed with Republic, her contact is such that they agreed to go slow with her until her regular schooling is done. You will get thousands of comments from her very loyal fans all over the world (I am one, of course .. we are called "Angelina's angels".) They will recommend other songs for you to watch (she has over 130 covers on KZfaq and now tons of little pieces of tiktok, as well as a huge following on Facebook!) I hope you both do more reactions of Angelina's covers .. I look forward to seeing you both again .. I like how you work together! May your holidays be great! Merry Xmas! oops! just saw this reaction was a whole year ago! I'll look to see if you have done more reactions with her .. 😊

Angelina does not go barefooted to keep herself grounded; she goes barefooted in memory of a child without shoes, whom she gave her shoes to. Herself intimates she will not wear shoes until all the children in the world have the necessities of Life.

Please note what an amazing band she's with. They really add to the whole feel.

Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reactions & please continue to review more of Angelina Jordan's music, and see how just amazing this young lady is!!!

Looks like we have a couple new fans. ...and Angelina is great artist to be a fan of. And here are some reasons why... 1) Huge body of work: Angelina has a giant library of work to discover (currently at 126 songs! with 5 originals). 2) Variety: She has done so many styles and genres. From old jazz to modern techno-pop and everything in between. 3) The person: Angelina is one of the most kind gentle souls you will ever see. You will always see her sing barefoot, and the reason is because of an encounter she had with a poor shoe-less girl at only 6 years old. She was so affected by the girl's situation, that she gave the girl the shoes off her own feet, and made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes... at 6! ...and she has held true to that promise for years.... every show, no matter the setting, Angelina is barefoot. 4) The Voice: It is just the best voice I have ever come across in all my years. She will draw you into her world every single time she sings. So much rich tone, and subtle textures. She never over sings it, she never shows off. It always sounds as though it is pouring right from the depths of her very soul. Hope that's enough to convince you that you HAVE to check out more of her stuff! She will never disappoint.

"I put a spell on you" was introduced in 1956 by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. It is his picture on the candle she is holding.

I say about her "She doesn't to a cover, she does a hostile take over" You called it a choke hold, yep. "this is MY song!"

I can tell you guys were totally ' dumbfounded ' on her performance of ' I Put A Spell On You '...Rest assure, you were NOT, I repeat, were NOT alone in your feelings...We, her adoring fans, were just as ' dumbfounded '...' Mesmerized '...and ' SHOCKED ' when we all first heard it... Angelina Jordan is not just a mere mortal among us..she's a divine old soul in a child's body...Great reaction my friends..Cheers..

Old soul singer reborn through Angelina. Even at that age she feels what she is singing.

I love Dimash, I love Diana Ankudinova. I love MJ, Freddy Mercury, Amy Winehouse, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston and Adele. There's lots of singers I LOVE. But Angelina is simply the best. THE BEST. AWESOME is not a strong enough word for how talented she is. Best that has ever lived. GOAT! Period.

I never tire of listening to this performance...it a classic in its own right!

indeed, Angelina took possession of this song, made it completely her

Excellent turn of phrase “She put that song in a chokehold”….. Best summarisation of Angelinas powers I’ve ever heard.

Disbelief all over your faces. She has that effect on people. 😁👍🏻

For me, this music video is history! A treasure, a masterpiece, when future artists generations will dig into it, trying to understand and analyze what a pure God-given talent is all about!!! Keep them coming guys!!!

When little Angelina walked in the room handling the band with her own made arrangement paying respect to the great Screamin Jay Hawkins the band be like..."what, are we a joke on you?" ...and then she began to sing. The band: "ok, we want to be a part of this..." 😹

I know, right?! LOOOOVE Angelina

Angelina is not just a random prodigy, she is prodigy that works. Just like Joey Alexander (youngest jazz pianist, grammy award nominee at 11 yrs old), or dimash kudaibergen, etc. They all best of talent humankind had on this millenium.

Just turned 9 in this video; just turned 14 in early January. I've probably seen it 100 times, and I still love it. Not sure it could be done any better by anyone. Over the moon FANTASTIC! Thanks for your delightful reaction. You are a good pair. Looking forward to seeing more from you on Angelina. Wishing you the very best. Billy J

I love first time reactions to this song! 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 "A million years ago" is next!

Great- Great Reaction--from two knowledgeable people---Angelina Jordan will put a musical "chokehold" on the entire world with her immense talent--I think you might agree.

Angelina is a true blessing.

She was far beyond her age from the very beginning of her career, from auditioning at seven till now, just turned 14. As good as everything she does is gold!

I don't know why I keep watching these react videos to Angelina! It's so addicting seeing people discover her magic for the first time! Also nice to re-listen to her... Appreciate that you let the video run through all the way before reacting too much.

We get it. The more you listen, the more you become enchanted with her. Before long you will just as obsessed as the rest of her fans.

Welcome to Angelina world! She is amazing!

Superstar.

Angelina picks out all her own music and she does her own arrangements

Subscribing for more Angelina.She has killed jazz conquered pop,,slaughtered country ,murdered classical and has just dominated techno .There never has been nor ever will be any one like this sweet humble caring genius.You guessed it,I quite like her!

She was nine years old when this was recorded. She was 7 when she sang Billie Holliday's 'Gloomy Sunday.' She had just turned 8 when she won the Norwegian Talent Contest. Been going strong ever since.

I don’t know what it is about her voice. Just about any song she sings makes me cry a good cry. Not many things in life does this to me . My heart is somehow in line with the tone of her voice. The sound of her voice is so soothing and hypnotic that my mind goes to places in my past. Some memories are sorrowful and painful and just by listening to her angelic voice some how makes everything better and replaces them with joy and happiness. Voices like this only come once in a life time. God Bless You Angelina Jordan! Thank you for precious gift you have given the world with your songs.

Thank you for this reaction to Angelina Jordan. Welcome to the amazing world of music from Angelina Jordan. She was barely 9 years old in this video.

What do you think guys, did those musicians have a great and fun day at work, or what!? Did they even get to sleep the next night? As you can see at the start of this video, the 9 year old Angelina is writing down som late inputs for how she want her take on the song to be. Angelina choose her songs, and deside what she want to make of them. It is just mindblowing and stunning. It should not realy be posible at all. Well Angelina`s talent did not see it that way, so she did it. And that is what she does! So let her bite you, or cast her spell on you. Let her come. I don`t think there is ane way leading around her, avoiding her. She has come to take the world of music, and own it. "You are Miiiiiiine!" And she for shure love it! She just love singing. Please guys, give us more Angelina!

I really enjoyed watching the both of you react to Angelina Jordan singing I Put A Spell On You. This was by far the best reaction I've seen to this video❤️❤️ I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned to you that Angelina Jordan does all of her arrangements to the songs that she covers. For this particular song, Angelina worked with the band on this arrangement. I have to keep reminding myself that Angelina had just turned 9 years old when this was recorded. It blows my mind that at 9 years old Angelina was already a powerhouse vocally AND she was arranging the music too?!! Another great thing that Angelina does is that she stays true to the integrity of the original song. You will hear subtle changes here and there throughout her covers but she doesn't stray far from the original recording out of respect for the original artist. Angelina Jordan Astar was put upon this earth to bring light and love into everyone's heart's and beautiful vocals to touch our souls. Angelina is a true prodigy. Thank you for your reaction. Looking forward to more.

AJ is crazy good! This song is like POW. Beast-mode level talent here!!!

What a great performance, Angelina Jordan is a sensation, an incredible singer from a very young age, I love listening to every song she sings. Let me make a suggestion since it looks like you guys are very open to new talented artists regardless of where they´re from, he´s name is Gabriel Henrique a singer from Brazil and you can start with And I´m telling you I´m not going a Jennifer Hudson cover and check him out in his car singing I wanna know what love is a Mariah Carey cover, this guy is another great super talented artists with some incredible vocal ranges I´m sure you will like. Great reaction.

What does it say that I'm 60 and this little girl is my Favorite singer, It 's one of those things ,sometimes the stars align just right and we get an extraordinary Performer like this..I believe I read that this is her tribute to Screamin Jay Hawkins so she did it like he did...and she killed it..I Love all her songs but this is my choice for number one, followed by "Gloomy Sunday"..I Love Angelina, will be a fan forever..Thank You to her Mom for sharing her with us.

She will never stop amaze you. The paper she gave him in the beginning - was a note to tell him how she wanted him to play - at 9 years old! she arrange herself. Write songs and play several instruments. She never use all her abilities in a song just to show off. She does what she need to make the song sound like she wants. BRAVO!

Such a fun reaction. Angelina will continue to surprise you, so enjoy the ride.

She was 9 when recording this.. She will be the very best Recording artist of a generation.. she only just started she already has that Timeless singing style from singing some of these grate Timeless song at a young age.. She will be that bridge/ mix old with the New era..

She's the guardian of the Cave of Wonders.

her voice is not of this time, ... nor neither of this world ♥♥♥

Thats criminal. You said it. She is an extra-- ordinary talent. No, not just exstrordinary. Exceptional!

that's a world class performance regardless of age..it stands with the best versions I've ever heard

I got some good news for you you got over 125 coversongs and 3 originals you can listen to and each song is great . So welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan Astar and your official a Angel of Angelina now . Best Chris

Welcome to the Angelina ride , each one will take you to the heights of listening Ecstasy and back again..

Angelina Jordan es todo un fenómeno, yo soy su fan desde que participó en la voz Kids de Noruega, tenía 7 años, vean su primera audición, también toca el piano, el violin y es escritora.

Just turned 9 years old, and she does all her own arrangements.

She is going to own the world!

Prior to the start of the song Angelina holds a cup in front of the camera. On the cup is a picture of Screaming Jay Hawkins the man who owned, sang, this song prior to Angelina. His version is on You Tube. The cup is Angelina's way of paying respect to him. Her version is very much like his.

It's just breathtaking or just that I forget to breath listening to Angelina singing. I never had any singer that brought my soul into her song except Angelina. It's sooo mesmerising. It brought goosebumps and tears every time she sings. That's a legend in the making. I am her die hard fan. She can spin a classic song, put life in it and turned into one better than the original. And it is done since she's 6 yrs old!! She has an old soul in her body. She's just magical. She brought me to the world of jazz. I'll follow her all through her stardom as a Jazz queen. Thank you for reacting to her song. Pls react to her other songs.. It's just out of this world

You guys need to react to her two first auditions at ONLY 7 years of age where she performed “I’m aFool to Want You” a cappella and Gloomy Sunday with music after that. She grew up learning to talk and sing at the first time listening to Billie Holiday with her grandma. Great reaction! 👌👍🏼

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. 9. Here's AJ, probably 10 or 11 years old, singing an old Cole Porter classic. "Every Time We Say Goodbye" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbiDfJt50rqsenU.html

Crowds of old voices from the past conspired to put a spell on that little girl! I can't imagine an adult painting those kinds of emotions on this song today!

She rearranged that song herself. It is a lot different musically than the original. But I like hers BETTER. I LOVE AJ. My most favorite singer of all time. Glad you guys discovered her :) Blessings

You guys, you made me laugh so hard! My face had no behaviour! Hold on, she said! This young lady sounded like she went through some things, have a marriage, two kids, worked a twelve hours shift and have a mortgage! And your non verbal reaction was something to see! My feel? You are both hook for life, and, each time you will react to a song from her, will it be an original, a cover or a tribute, she will reel you in easy and you will love it! Thank you for doing this and keep them coming! In accordance with Angelina s wish, you will be called from now on Angels of Angelina s community of fans! May I suggest to you to react to her second classic that she sang at age 12 as a tribute to James Brown s This Is a Man s, Man s World! You will appreciate then how powerful her voice can be and how effortlessly, it seems, she performes.

Good sound quality 😊👍

She was 9 years old there!!😀👍

She is changing the arrangement and is writing it down for the conductor. The candle is a picture of Sceamin' Jay Hawkins who wrote the song, and the version Angelina has based her arrangement on. If this is your first song with Angelina, then buckle up, strap in, you are in for a beautiful ride. She is beyond special. I have never heard a song she has sung that hasn't moved me to tears. Mostly out of joy and wonderment, but sometimes because the way she sings a song will rub up against something i haven't thought of in a while and it will bring the pain of that event back to the front of my mind. It is usually because I haven't properly dealt with an issue, it is time to deal with the event in a proper way. Even though it may be painful, it is also beneficial in the end. She is a sweet and uber talented young woman, and I love her because of who she is. Enjoy!!

I’ve heard and seen several other “I Put A Spell On You” by Angelina, this one is by far my favorite one. Here she has more feeling, more humph, power and commitment to the lyrics. This one to me is a Master-piece. Her voice, body language and emotion is perfect. To me, the others lacked the body language and emotion. The voice is always spot on.

She has the most fantastic voice I heard in my life, but also the strangest..., and I say that with all the love in the world ♥ . How many have already noticed the tremendous change of style that his voice has in some songs? His voice is already surprising, but that ?, makes it incredible and amazing!

i love angelina

Congratulations .... beautiful reaction !!! I've been a fan of Angelina Jordan for a long time ... I've been a professional musician for 43 years ... and I've never seen anything like it ... Angelina Jordan is a genius .... the world is taking too long to recognize this fact .... Angelina Jordan is a living legend with only 14 years old !!!

All what you say is true; AND here is another mind blower she arranged this as a tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkens original herself, she was so knowledgeable and take charge the pro band nicknamed her "the Boss " out of respect for her ability.

This song goes back to the 50's by Screamin Jay Hawkins.

Should watch her on Norway’s got talent. She won it at 7 years old 🤩🤩🤩.

Ha, I've been waiting for this one. Great reaction guys. Angelina chooses all the songs she sings, unless it's a collaboration. Let that sink in. All the other singers imitate Nina Simone's somewhat tame version of this song; only Angelina had the courage to give full justice to the Screaming Jay Hawkins original.

This song, I put a spell on you. Did really put a spell on me. I have listened to her nearly every day for the past year since I discovered her. This song is dangerous, it should be labeled with a warning tag. Listening to her raspy old strong voice. She sounds like, "Don´t mess with me, or else!" When she sings this one, it´s spellbinding.

Because of a delay in the posting of this video, she was barely 9 when it was shot. Its just conceivable that the audio, which was edited first, may have been completed just before she was 9.

She had just turned 9 when she did this one. Shes doing the original screaming Jay Hawkins version recorded in 1955 and released in 1956.

i saw your your reaction on her in agt.. i knew after that u would come back to her 😍 here in this video she is 9 years old.. she sang jazz when we first saw her when she was 7, and auditioned and later won Norway got talent in 2014. she s just amazing.. ❤️ love from Norway 🇳🇴

thanks for a great reaction, and welcome to discover Angelina pre AGT.

she is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nine years old I know I am dumbfounded I am shocked I am amazed I’m lost for words phenomenal in it I don’t get it she’s so damn talented how do you know our pain as adults all I can say is wow wow wow wow I’m amazed

Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reactions!!!

You can tell, in this and all of her songs she feels the music

You didn't think back in time far enough. Her music, especially when younger, comes from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

This a little mellower than Screamin Jay Hawkins original but I love it

Honeys -- This is an old blues ballad from the 1920's or early thirties, in the New Orleans juke or stomp style. Notice that the horns are singing in one voice, keeping the rhythm, answering the singer. They are having a musical conversation, if you like. I recommend checking out the "Jazz" series, by Ken Burns, so you get a bit of the history and contribution of Jazz to American and the world's culture. Jazz music has become especially popular in Scandanavian culture.

Singing a song, feeling a song and understanding a song are three completely different aspects of music. As you understand and master each aspect you acquire a different dimension of understanding.

This girl is outstanding, OMG!

She has a new song out, her first pop song, called Above the Water. Quite a contrast to this one. Thanks for the reaction and see you next time! :)

She is so amazing what child singer in this world has ever started out by singing Billy Holiday, only one and that's Angelina Jordan at 7 she even had to sing a Billy Holiday song acapella (she did not practice acapella) or be cut from the competition, just amazing.

Yep, it's the same with everyone that watches this video. Shock and Awe. From the very first line she sings, there is shock, and it just grows from there until the end of the song. Rusty Shakleford, who commented, is a super fan, and if you go to his KZfaq page ( kzfaq.infofeatured ) you will find possibly everything she has done. Welcome to the group of us that have had Angelina put a spell on us. It's an amazing journey.

"choke hold". I loved that.! so true.!

She is 9 here and does the composing for the band!

When the lady said she 'knew' this song, I just got comfortable and ready for her reaction - most people are familiar with the much more 'gentile' versions, but this is very close to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins original. That Miss Jordan knew her misic s**t even at her tender years, there, is evident in her showing the candle-holder up which had Screamin' Jay's picture on it.

This was her own arrangement. She was 10 in this video.

I've poored a bunch of quarters IN a few juke box listening to this song by CCR This song ranks among my all time favorites but what happened right here has blown me away It's totaly different from CCR version less Blues more Jazz but just phenomenal I've never seen a kid sing a Jazz song before i mean with such a professional crew giving such a performance ! For a moment she reminded me of Joe Cocker the way she almost seemed to be possessed by what she was singning Usualy Jazz bars are few & offer a smaller settings it's for a special audience not for kids This performance could have been presented in big Jazz festivals like the one we have in Montreal year after year & i'm sure Angelina would blow away the minds of the audience even at that early age I AM SHOCKED !

You have been spelled 👍 😉. Thank you for that wonderfull reaction. Looking forward to get moore reactions from you 😀

Commenting before watching... because I know this is going to be great, and you both are going to be in disbelief.

She's been here before. Welcome back

she is super!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you are hearing is a nine year old child that is an old soul. She sounds like a cross between Amy Weinhouse and Billy Holiday.

Listen to Back to black and Born to die by Angelina. Mind blowing.

This girl will blow you away.

Yep she’s mind boggling, great reactions with great comments from the lady

Thanks for the reaction video of Angelina! She was only 9 when she recorded this version of "I Put A Spell On You." Angelina is an amazingly talented and versatile singer, with a uniquely beautiful voice and a special ability to connect with her audience on a deeply emotional level. I believe she is on her way to superstardom, and she deserves it!
