This may be the best reaction I have heard to AJ's performance in this song. Not only were you appropriately shocked, you have been the only one who has shown any real appreciation for the role that Screamin' Jay Hawkins played in Angelina's interpretation of the song. Forget all the pop versions. AJ gets her inspiration from the source. You could have zeroed in on a lot more elements in SJH's original that AJ adopted and adapted into her version. And you have a good sense of humor and good video presence. Nice job.

AJ has said "if there had been no Billie Holiday, there'd be no Angelina!"

The girl is a musical genius.

Maybe it is time to go way back when Angelina was 7 years old singing "Gloomy Sunday" at her Norway's Got Talent audition.

Shirley Bassey you say? Angelina did an effortless public performance of Diamonds Are Forever aged 11.

She is really paying a tribute to Screaming Jay! I Love IT!

You have a fine ear, you pick up all the details! You've mentioned Shirley Bassey; Angelina has covered 'diamonds are forever' once in a concert.

"When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 Great work Anna. Angelina is quite shy away from a microphone. However, once she makes the transition to her stage identity, she can be a fire-breathing dragon or whatever mode is called for. She almost hates long introductions and she normally enters and exits the stage with as little fanfare as possible. If I had her talent, I would demand to be carried around in some sort of golden litter preceded with fresh rose pedals. IMO, there is something else at work with her that I believe poets and philosophers have opined about for eons.

Seeing Angelina Jordan here makes me reconsider my life choices. Dang. What a performance. Thank you Anna, that was lovely.

I find her early years, or should I say, earlier years fascinating. To this day I love her cover of "Summertime" in the Norway Got Talent competition. She was 7-8 years old at the time, and it still shocks me, as much as one of her first audition for the show at age 7 "Gloomy Sunday" when she couldn't even pronounce English properly but the soul she put in that song was unmistakable.

WOW, that was one of the best reactions I've seen in hundreds of reactione's videos about this masterpiece. Not only did you know the original song when you were younger, you also recognize Jay Hawkins on the candle, WOW. Then you can also see how Angelina arranged this song (it was unbelievable, it really is Angelina's arrangement). Very, very good great job. 👍👍👍👍👍 💯 *AJ* 💯 Angelina discovered jazz at the age of about four with her grandmother Mery Zamani. I suspect at first in the form of vinyl records. Angelina's absolute and most important role model is Billie Holiday. Angelina said in an interview with American songwriter last year, “I have to say if it wasn't for the unconditional love that came from Billie Holiday’s legendary music, there would not be Angelina Jordan today. I am very blessed today that her music found me very early, " 🤗🤗🤗

Congrats... you just discovered the most astonishing voice of the century!

Fantastic reaction Anna ! Your expertise on how Angelina uses the original phrasing in her performance is right on ! No one else has noticed these nuances ! Your ear for vocal nuances and techniques are phenomenal and much appreciated ! You seem to love blues / jazz it's so obvious ! I'm assuming you had a jazz background or training ! Thank you for reacting to our barefoot princess ! Your comments are so welcomed ! Keep posting and have a fabulous weekend ! 🤗👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

Anna, your analysis was spot on. Not many reactors even know who Screamin Jay Hawkins even was. You should listen to her Norway’s Got Talent performances at ages 7 and 8, especially her rendition of Summertime a la Ella Fitzgerald. Her vibrato, and Jazz techniques are amazing for any age.

Angelina always, always honours the original artist - and we love her for it. Your reaction is one of the best out there, thanks ❤️👣🎶

This is my favorite performance of hers. As always, your reaction is spot on. Imagine the studio musicians’ first thoughts when they saw her.

Thanks for such an extensive review of Angelina’s techniques…I love her performance…it is likely to become a classic in its own right!

Please react to Angelina perform What A Difference a Day Makes and Felling good. I believe she’s between the age of 8-10 yrs old in these performances. Hope you like have a good one

Excellent observations Anna, I liked the search for the direct influence of Screaming Jay, because like any genius, Angelina is hungry for experimentation and testing herself, observing her possibilities and limits, and that's what she's been doing since she was young until today. It has become an international treasure and not just Norway.

"what is this?" haha... that must be one of the most interesting reactions to this outrageous rendition by Angelina. I appreciate your knowledge of Screaming Jay Hawks and your analysis of his influence on Angelina. Love your reaction.

I just came across this reaction, and then had to go check your first reaction to this young prodigy. Well done on both young lady, and I give you 2 thumbs up. I don't subscribe to a lot because I only watch Angelina Jordan reactions, and 2 month in between is a long time, but I do search daily for new reactions, so yours should now be in my radar.

Brilliant reaction by Anna to this jazz masterpiece by the girl of a thousand voices! I can hardly wait to watch you discover more of Angelina's work.

Thank you for this great react of Angelina,the barefoot princess of jazz, 9 years old,screaming jay hawkings song from 1956, and Angelina in beast mode

Her covers are really good, and she got a couple of great original songs as well. Her Lana Del Rey and Amy Winehouse covers are insane.

the first song angelina sang in her school's basement studio was " i who have nothing " by shirley at 6... at 7 in interview at NGT she mentioned shirley as one of her influences.. " diamonds are forever " is on her " it's magic " album...thanks so much

This little girl was born to melt soulful singers hearts.

Such a great reaction! Thank you!

An excellent reaction and analysis! Please do many more.

The two songs you’ve heard from Angelina are great, but you’ve opened the door just a bit. She will amaze you with the number of genres she covers so authentically and beautifully. She frequently covers iconic songs like those two, giving us her own unique arrangement, but always paying homage to the original with her phrasing or tone. She just released a fantastic cover of Billie Jean, completely moving the song into sultry jazz, but paying respect so clearly and honestly to Michael Jackson. To see Angelina completely different and singing a song she wrote herself, try “Million Miles”. (I like the studio version best because you can concentrate on her vocals). Or her covers of Adele will give you new favorite versions. A Million Years Ago is one of her best, but she recently released All I Ask, showing clearly how her voice has not just Adele’s power and emotion, but texture, range, runs and riffs that make Angelina completely distinctive. You’re just getting started, but prepare yourself to hear the best singer you’ve ever heard. Yes, she is that good.

This is one of the best reactions to this miracle I've ever seen. Good job!

Anna, your are so talented!!! I love your 2 reactions to Angelina - PLEASE do more, will you??? I beg you.

Greetings from Scotland! I have seen so many reactions to this video, but you were one of the most enjoyable to watch Anna! Did you see her making corrective notes for the Musical Director in the beginning! He smiles and says "Yeah, OK, that makes sense" Incredible! AJ never performed it like this again because she knew it would damage her voice, so future performances all got toned down and relaxed after this. This is a historical moment for AJ and so it should be! If it wasn't documented on video nobody would believe this was a 9yo girl! I think you're correct that there is some Shirley Bassey in there too! Another immense singer from my homeland of South Wales, land of song! (I've only lived in Scotland for about 50 years). Great reaction and great explanation of techniques etc., as always Anna! Thank you!

Another spell was cast by 9 yo Angelina. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talk with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a Doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind the world that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.

Great fun to watch! You’ll be relieved to hear that Angelina did this song once like this, in the studio for posterity to enjoy forever and as an early testament to what she was capable of. Then she made sure to be careful with her voice in all live versions. They are still very impressive - doing those long melodic lines in the middle on two breaths instead of three, making the last note hang even longer etc - but without most of the compression and distortion. I am equally impressed with your analysis, even making note of that harmonic minor scale ornament at the end. Please do some more of Angelina’s songs! She has a huge catalogue. Personally, I prefer the jazzy stuff, but Versatility seems to be her middle name…

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Wonderful Angelina reaction and analysis Anna. Please don't make us wait another two months for the next one!

How Great Thou Art is a wonderful example of Angelina's lower register... Transcendant

"I Put a Spell on You" is a 1956 song written and composed by Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins, whose own recording of it was selected as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

Great and intelligent reaction. For me this is one of the best performances ever but I am glad she moved way from this style and saved her vocals. I suggest next all 4 songs, in order, on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old, with subtitles in English. Some reactors have done all 4 in 1 reaction and it works great as you can see her improve in each one. Thanks

I'm Still Holding Out For You at 10 is my favorite

Love the reaction Anna, and thank you for the CC too. This particular song launched million of Angelina's fans AKA "Angels" down the rabbit hole of this young music genius for which there is no return, fortunately. You really need not worry about her voice in this song as you shall see in any and all over her 140+ covers and originals, her superior vocal abilities have improved 10 fold as she has gotten older, now 15. Would absolutely love to Sub your channel if you continue to react to the best singer in decades, IMHO. Look forward to more from you and thank you for your reaction, comments and analysis and for supporting this young barefoot Angel on your channel as well. 2 thumbs up.

This was cool! I didn’t realize you were a big Shirley Bassey fan, she’s one of my favorite singers also. Screaming Jay Hawkins had an absolutely incredible voice, but some of his antics I find problematic, especially for that era but that’s a discussion for another time. There is one section here where Angelina is growling and it doesn’t sound healthy at all and she seems to go a little hoarse afterwards. She was clearly raised listening to a ton of Billie Holiday, lots of people listen to Billie but can’t approach her musicality like this kid can. Some people just understand music on a different level.

That was a fascinating reaction,thank you.I'm still holding out for You at 10 yrs of age is equally impressive,I think that you would enjoy analysing it.

There is only so much a 9 yr old can learn in that time, I have no answers on how she does that, i have watched this many times and Angelina only sung this song this way once.

That initial look of disbelief and then you asked the question,” What is this?” Perfect. Subscribed.

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***

We will never hear this voice from her ever again. She grew out of it pretty quick. The other rendition she did a couple of years later was a lot cleaner, but didn’t have the depth and character of this one. This was a one and done masterpiece performance by a 9 year old that should be given the highest recognition available.

Very nice and wise reaction! Angelina is so special with all her vocal skills and musicaltiy and storytelling nature in her performances! What makes it hard to describe her is that there is an effect from the fact that she is so young and cute (and humble), yet so professional! It didn't take her long to sing like a seasoned adult singer, who had tons of life experience!

Thank you for this really thoughtful reaction, maybe you would like to try Angelina’s version on California Dreaming. It is a complete divergence from the original, and is fantastic.

During a performance of her original song "shield" (written when she was 11), she said her favorite Bond songs were "Diamonds are Forever" and "Goldfinger". Please check it out to see/hear the influences.

I have greatly anticipated your reaction to this and wasn’t disappointed! Such great insight; many thanks. Please at watch her four Norway’s Got Talent performances to see her “official” beginning. I think you will very much enjoy each one. Her rendition of Summertime as her song on the finale absolutely stuns me every time I listen to it!

Hello beautiful Anna you crack me up you kept your jaw from falling on the floor you have no idea what you have just discovered I will let other Angelina fans explain it to you by the way love your hair

Thank you for your reaction video and your very informative analysis. Angelina Jordan performed this song publicly several times later on. She did tone it down probably on the advice of her vocal coach. In 2017 she opened for Norah Jones at her concert at the Muse In The City Festival in Korea. She performed several songs in front of 40,000 people and the crowd went wild. She was asked by the producers if she can perform another song. She returned back to the stage and very politely said: “They asked me to perform another song for you. Is that okay?”LOL. Here is that performance of I Put a Spell on You. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odZ3erJk16-UZoU.html I’m not sure if you want to react to it or not, but please watch the video. I would love to get your opinion on it. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Hi Anna, thank you for your reaction and comments on her technique! This was the first Angelina performance I ever saw and it blew me away, completely, I couldn't believe it - imagine you hadn't been somehow prepared by her AGT Queen Cover... It is still one of my favourites and especially fun to watch reactions on it, all the more if it is a first encounter with her for the reactor... There are few Angelina songs among those many she did that I don't dig that much, but certainly some I love even more than the rest, these are: "Feeling Good" live on show with audience in the stream Gir Terbake (Norwegian TV channel), about 10y old, then "A Million Years Ago", a very intimate Adele cover, recorded privately, just her voice and acoustic guitar, about 11 or 12y, that one had me completely down in tears the first couple of times, meanwhile I'm smiling like a Honigkuchenpferd (sorry, don't know the Englich expression for that one...) when watching it, but I've heard it at least 50 times now... then I love her newest release, which was Billie Jean, where she does, imho, justice to both MJ as to herself with a very profound cover. Also her original "7th Heaven" is great, watch the Official Video, you'll like it, doing videos for your originals as well, she and her team have put some thought and effort into that... next, her recent cover of Adele's "All I Ask" is for me clearly superior to the original, even if she sings only two verses instead of three. The song itself is not that much my cup of tea, but she makes it more than bareable, sung by her I could listen to that all day long. And I definitely must add "Cry Me A River" (audio only, take the album version from "It's Magic", a recording she did on the anniverary, I think 40th, of the orchestra, which is the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps (or similar...) with them, which is a great production throughout (also "It's a Man's World e.g. or "I'm A Fool To Love You"...) - of all these songs exist also live performances, but often of poor quality, filmed on mobile phones, the recording and mixing of her voice is clearly superior on the studio album, and the orchestra is tight, you'll love it, great brass section... last but not least her four legendary performances on NGT (7-8 y)... I omitted some pieces others will surely suggest, these are just my personal favourites from tonight's persepective... baba

HIGH VIBRATIONAL 5D PERFORMANCE ...ANGELINA IS AWAKENING PEOPLE'S SOULS...CAN'T COMPARE HER PERFORMANCES TO ANYONE...HIGH VIBRATIONAL, 5D PERFORMANCES ARE GOD GIVEN....

Wow… two for two. Another _excellent_ reaction. I usually find it frustrating when reacters try to draw conclusions about how her singing style has changed based on just one song from when she was older and one song from when she was younger (especially this one, which is so unlike everything else she's ever done). But you pretty much nailed it. Everything you said here was absolutely "on point". You even picked up on the two different speeds of vibrato she was using. I've watched _hundreds_ of reactions to this performance, and no one else (that I recall) has ever pointed that out. Excellent! Subbing. (Now, if we could just get you to do her stuff more often…)

This is AJs Oslo practice band concert band and they call her BOSS she does all arangements

oh my god dear lady you have so much to experience from this young ladies talent. she is amazing.

Get ready Anna for a unbelievable performance by our barefoot princess at 9 years old ! You will be surprised I'm sure ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🤗👍

I loved your thorough and knowledgeable reaction to this Angelina classic. Many reactors are not familiar with Hawkins' original but only later covers if at all. A+ to you for being so appreciative of where Angelina was reaching for inspiration. It is also great to watch vocal coaches marvel at all the things Angelina is doing here. Your joy upon listening to her is infectious!! Please do more Angelina!!

Fasten seatbelts everybody, get ready for take-off :-D

Hello Anna. Kiitoksia paljon for your very thorough analysis of Angelina Jordan's rendition of I put a spell on you. Your expression of surprise will be known to Angelina's angels. We have seen it so many times and it is always the same. It is both easy and difficult to make recommendations, Anna, because I have not yet heard anything from AJ that was not stunning in some way or another. My favourites at the moment include , 'How Great Thou Art' (almost contralto register) and 'I would rather go blind' while sitting at home on her 12th birthday playing with a new microphone, while sat on a sofa. Loved your careful and informative analysis. Thank you.

This song is an anomaly. It is outside of her usual wheelhouse.if you want to get to start to hear what she really sounds like, pick any of her other songs. She won't disappoint.

Thank you for recognizing The Original Singer! She did!

I was waiting for this, a collision of The barefoot princess, and an amazing vocal reaction. Thank you Anna.

Just love your reaction! Angelina is a treasure and we all are fortunate to have her in our life!

Very detailed, insightful analysis which was spot on. Please react to her recently released, total re-interpretation of Michael Jackson's iconic song, Billie Jean, in her JazzyPop style. A total different spin on the song from a 15 yo jazz genius.

The phenomenon that is Angelina Jordan at her very best. When she lets go with a great song it really is something special. I just wish she'd do this more often instead of using more contemporary and lesser popular songs. She was free here at age 9.

WOW!! GREAT REACTION AND ANALYSIS ANNA. You seem to have an excellent knowledge of jazz and especially knowing Screaming Jay Hawkins and how Angelina arranged this song using his nuances in her own style....very impressive. This is the only performance that I can think of where she needs the "Kermit" voice to reach the note and the same for the growls. Her vibratos, melismas, vocal fry, breathiness and rich tones on the lower notes added to her interpretations and arrangements make this prodigy a very unique singer/musician. She performed "DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER" and "CRY ME A RIVER" both at the Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 concert when she was 11 years old and they are both outstanding with a jazz band live on stage. I'm sure you know both songs and would love to hear your analysis on them. Also, "FEELING GOOD" Live on the Stream Gir Tilbake with a full jazz orchestra live on stage is her best performance on stage, imo. I truly enjoyed everything about your reaction and hope to see you again soon!!! Cheers from Florida

I have listened many times to Angelina's version of this song. One thing always gets me and that is the note at the end. It is powerful and so long! Where does all the breath come from for that note???? He body isn't big enough to contain that much air!

Thanks for your excellent review of this performance. I agree it's absolutely stunning, and not just for a 9-year-old but really for anyone of any age. Angelina's talent, control, technique, and understanding of the original makes for a beautiful tribute to Screamin' Jay. If you want to see her even younger, you might look at her Norway's Got Talent performances. Or you could fast-forward to her recent work, like her originals "Million Miles" & "7th Heaven." In between are tributes to Adele, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Whitney Houston, Willy Nelson, Patsy Cline, and dozens of other singing legends (note: I often prefer her covers to the originals!).

Angelina has been studying jazz greats that she would find on KZfaq since she was three years old. Through her earlier performances she would experiment with various jazz vocal techniques which has had a major influence on the singer she is today.

You are right, and I have asked myself many times - "How can an 8/9 year old girl be anything but scared by J. Hawkins performances of this?" Well a musical talent and mind like Angelina clearly took nothing but joy and inspiration from what she have heard and seen from him. And she sure dobble up the joy for us as she show us her take on it. Thank you for even put more joy to it as you react with such great understanding and amusement and great lovely smiles to this no. 2 Angelina reaction video. PS: - There will never be to much Angelina, and I`ll await patiently for your next.

Loved your reaction, Anna! About Shirley Bassey, you need to watch Angelina's cover of Diamonds Are Forever 😊

Epically talented, gorgeous AJ performing to the reaction of stunning Anna. This is time well spent.

Top commentary...more Angelina, to bring the Angels on board.

Very nicely done sunshine,, I can see college music professors "try" to dissect an teach this but won't succeed to well cuz you can't teach the love/dedication/soul that ANGELINA has for music,, like one judge quoted on NGT,, " YOU ARE MUSIC",, an nothing can be so TRUE,, 👣🌬🌎

oh, i love finnish spoken language!

Don’t you just wish you could hear that for the first time, 100 times over? Thanks for letting us share your first experience with you.

You're not the only one talking caution about the tricks she used there to create that sound. Incidentially she dialed that back a lot in later performances - in that regard the video is somewhat a one-off. Until recently maybe, it sounds to me her voice is finally catching up with what she always was burning to do. Its still the most ambitious performance I've ever seen by a 9 year old and I love it for the sheer attitude alone. She did some pop covers at 12/13 but she's still very much rooted in Jazz in recent performances. Some suggestions: Feeling good (10): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pp6bdK9e2K2uqGw.html Diamonds are forever (11): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rriWecafqZmvg6M.html California Dreaming (12/13): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6h5aq6emOCbXYk.html

That we can nitpick and compare this performance of a 9 year old with some of the best there is, it is just astounding. But the performance is just soo good.

Great reaction. I appreciate your feedback and insights. Look forward to more Angelina reactions. Thanks.

You know your stuff you do! Love your voice too..subd. As for her voice being damaged..I only ever saw her sing like this on this occasion..”Lovin You” is close in parts but her voice is utter perfection today at age 15..no harm done )) To get a good idea who she was initially inspired by check out her performance of Billie Holliday “I’m A Fool To Want You” aged 11..she may as well be Billie in this one..exquisite)) Ps you’re extraordinarily beautiful. I’m moving to Finland 😁

Great reaction but please don’t make us wait two months for the next one. I would love you to react to her performance of “Feeling Good” (live on the stream) when she was 10 years old.

You just did the best analysis and reaction to this epic song I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot of them. Absolutely brilliant 🙏💕 Thank you so much. Now I can’t wait for you next one ☝️ But what will it be? So hard to pick. But the one which I myself keep coming back to and listen to time and time again, is her cover of Billie Holiday’s I’m a Fool To Want You. Now there are several videos to choose from, dating back from when she was 7-8 singing it a Capella on the Norway’s Got Talent competition. But I would go for the studio version she did for the album It’s Magic when she was 11. Rusty Shackleford has combined the studio sound recording with the visuals from one of her rehearsals, filmed by her grandmother Mery: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ia2oY8ebvbq8gZ8.html You can also find the link to the raw rehearsal video and audio if you wish to compare in the description of Rusty’s version.

Wait until see her cover of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind" when she was 12 sitting on her couch.

YES! AJ is having FUN!! Most reactors miss that. She is just playing around and having a blast. And love the Shirley Bassey reference -- right on!

Good morning my beautiful lady 💝👍🌷🌹🌺🇵🇭

It is definettly not a kid song, but she was able yo master it, and i'm shooket to see how close yo the original it is but the real shoock is that she did the arrangements and she was almost directing the experienced musicians on to a work of art, amazing. Love your reaction and as always with all the respect, love your eyes while You were listtening yo the music, i can see you really enjoyed it, thank you, i love you!!!!

Fantastic reaction.. spot on with every detail you covered. It is an absolute pleasure to have some give a reaction who actually know what they are talking about. Angelina is just so unique in her approach and her musical style. She almost morphs into the original artist. when she does a cover. she has an amazing gift, a beautiful musical mind, and then combines that with a great work ethic. Even at this age, you can tell she has spent countless hours studying and training. I wanted to suggest a couple of my favorites. First there is "I am still holding out for you ( she was ten when she sang this ) it has a unusual back story, but it is stunning. The other one is " I'm a fool to want you" both the one from Norway's which she did A Capella ( unbelievable ), but my favorite is a version she did in a studio when she was, I believe, 12years old. Anyway I wanted to thank you again for your insight on this reaction,. Have fun traveling down this rabbit hole. It is a endless journey, packed full of amazing performances.

I guess its safe to say that you have dedicated an ample amount time studying all styles of music😛

I love seeing reactors react to this particular cover for the first time. It brings me great joy. Thank you so much for your knowledgeable and perspective reaction.

I like the choice Angelina made to diabolically whisper, " I put a spell on you. " She certainly did that! Her phrasing on the " I love you " part was phenomenal. Her breath control is fantastic. One breath for the last phrase at 4:55..."I'm yours right now. " Gorgeous! The world is her oyster and she is the glistening pearl! A wonderful analysis, Anna! I love your language!

This is going to be good!! 😊

Her first time in Studio was at age 6 yrs. She sang "I Who Have Nothing " she was so excited and oh love the Song and the guy was amazed. A small fumble we wouldn't catch unless told but she knew. Just think English is her 3rd language out of 9 i believe.

Not only musical history, but she put a lot of effort into learning English so she could pronounce the words correctly. Listen to her sing 'Summertime' in the contest -- she worked hard to get that right.

Thank you Anna. I was waiting for this.Love every second of your reaction and your comments. You know what you're talking about. Every performances from this genius are top level. You cannot make a mistake with your choices. Her most recent is Billie Jean from Micheal Jackson transformed into a truly Jazz version.

Anna, excellent, excellent review & commentary on AJA with this song, and so young, it's truly amazing when the mic's gone, she a normal 9 yr old girl, but the mic's on, she transforms herself into the particular song she sings, and proceeds to tell the story with so much emotion, commitment, clarity and jazziness, love her style, absolutely ASTOUNDING, I've listen to them all, Elvis, Beatles, 60's, 70's, 80's etc, she is unique, been waiting along time for someone like her to come along, MESMERIZING 🎵🎵😎🎵🎵

AJ, Diamonds are Forever.. impressive rendition

A.J is 9 years old in that song ❣

Ooh, if you can find the time, I'd be very pleased to hear your thoughts on other performances by Angelina. :)
