With your technical analysis Angelina jamming Portrait of a Child

Angelina has/had been called "the girl with a thousand voices" as she works to find her true voice.

How Angelina progress in a matter of weeks and months takes other years to accomplish IF they can ❤❤❤❤❤

This performance is 3 min of pure "bliss".

The first thing I do when I finally sit down at night is check for an A-Aron Angelina reaction. My first stop. 👍

How many 8 year olds have you seen backed up by two grown woman singers?

Angelina recently spoke of idols in music and how she likes to sing covers in respect to the original artist and also to put her own feelings into the song. She’s also talks of great respect for the artists she covers .

8 years old and younger Angelina she's definitely emulating those legendary artists that she's listening from. 9 years old Angelina she's starting to use those influences of her to create her own destinctive sound.

Some say she is emulating others say she is channeling ( The dead.), After all she is an angel on earth. And when she's young, watch very carefully. You can see the eyes rolled back into her head in many performances.

Ck out Angelina in Portrait of a Child, aaamazing in her directions to her band, 8yrs old

Michelangelo spent the early years in apprenticeships, emulating/'covering' contemporary greats. When he came into his own, phenomenal new art was created. It is fascinating to see a similar process unfold in real time! We are blessed to see Angelina doing this phenomenal genius journey 🤩👣🔥🧡🙌❣️

LOL that sounded hilarious "I just reacted to her singing at 1.5 years old" lol. She has always been inspired and we are fortunate for all the videos

Angelina tells the host what she has been doing since NGT - she has been going to school - next, they talk about what Angelina is doing that Summer, and Angelina tells the host that she will be traveling to the USA to go on vacation but also sing (this is a reference to her first US TV appearance on The View where she signs Fly Me To The Moon) - which might next on your reaction list...

One thing you don't need subtitles for is to see how much she wants to get past the interview portion and just start singing the song.😁

Angelina an eight year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy. She has God given talent that is how she does this! Singing in her second language! Her control and precision are out of this world! What other eight year old has adult back up singers! This was just a month after winning NGT and performed at Sing Along At The Border, which Angelina has appeared numerous times! I would recommend I’ll Be There: she was actually sick during this performance-kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLB5qtmIydWzY6M.htmlsi=sYMBFlD-cwVeAJXW Basically was asking what she was going to do for the summer-going to the US to sing and vacation! Eyes closed going to her special place! Angelina was codified a National Treasure of Norway by the King and Prime Minister when she was eight years old! 🇳🇴🇺🇸

It is unbelievable that she was only 8 years old singing like that. A vocal prodigy.

Angelina performed three other shows on this same avenue, which is close to the border with Sweden: "Feeling Good" (10 years old), "Something's Got a Hold On Me" (11 years old) and Elvis "It's Now or Never" ( 11 years old)... all of they amazing and inspiring.. The shows in this arena are usually of the sing along type... the audience receives the printed lyrics to sing along as the artist if they wish. (This is most evident when she sings "It's Now or Never"). The impressive thing about this performance you are reacting to,, besides her incredible vocal technique, is the fact that she performed alone (far away from the backing vocalists and even further away from the band itself) in front of this huge audience, showing her bravery, courage and determination in such a young age, and how much she loves to sing for the people.

O k so you reacted to AJA at eighteen months old... Wait till you get a load of her singing "My Funny Valentine", 2022. Age, just turned 16. Angelina's middle name is jordan and her last name is ASTAR.🎉

You should listen to her rendition of this song a year later at age nine in a performance in Singapore

She is populating her vocal toolbox, I just love when she mixes from different tool sets. Jackson tool set znc the Ella tool set, combined with Billie tool set. That why she is so great!

As Michael Buble said: " When you steal from everyone it's research. When you steal from one person you're a thief."

This has always been one of my favorite Angelina performances. It just kills me the way she says "stormy" here: 12:45

Great reaction and analysis. Ultimately we just love her for the way she makes us feel.

How many children, let alone adults could perform in the midst of over a thousand people? She has NO FEAR! And she sings with such passion about things she isn't old enough to understand. A true prodigy.

You’re so spot on with Angelina emulating these legendary artists and she conveys the emotion too. As you’ll see when she starts recording and performing her own written music she develops a distinct style of her own with the influence of her roots. It’s hard for a mon-musical knowledge guy like me to explain it in terms that make sense but her unique style crosses genres and the most beautifully written thoughtful uplifting messages you’ll ever hear in an artist, just the feel and sound of her original work is incredible, glad to be on this journey with you, thanks for all of your input

Ohhhhh YEAH ! Here we go . . . 😁😁😁 can't wait for the first notes to hit A-Aron. 😇Jim

Many reactors comment about how many people are in the crowd, but (and I may be mistaken), this annual festival is held on the border of Norway and Sweden, so Angelina is not the only performer during this event! In other words, not everyone is there to see Angelina. Of course, I'm sure she gained MORE fans after the "newbies" experienced her! 🙂

The stars and planets aligned when Angelina Jordan was born. The journey of an artist can indeed be profoundly affected by their socioeconomic background. Angelina Jordan's financial stability has arguably given her the freedom to explore and express her creativity without the immediate pressure of financial survival. The most profound individual in AJ’s life, according to her, is her grandmother, Mery Zamani, artist/poet extraordinaire who’s knowledge, wealth and genius have tutored AJ, and cultivated her unbelievable talent. This is a luxury not afforded to all artists, and the music industry is replete with stories of immensely talented individuals who have faced immense pressure to succeed financially. This pressure can sometimes lead to a tragic struggle with substance abuse, as seen in the cases of Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse. Their legacies serve as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of the immense pressures of fame and success in the music industry. It's a complex tapestry where talent, personal circumstances, and external pressures interweave to shape an artist's career and personal life. (CopyRight)

2:42 Translation to English: ‘… the youngest-ever winner of Norway's Got Talent. And from the very first verse, this girl has enchanted us, giving us goosebumps with her mature, magnificent voice.’ 'Angelina, welcome here and congratulations.' Applause Interviewer 'What have you done since you won Norway's Got Talent?' Angelina 'I've been going to school, we've had fun, and it has been nice.' Interviewer 'But have you been singing a lot?' Angelina 'Yes!' Interviewer 'And we're wondering what you're going to do this summer. Are you going on vacation, or just traveling around singing, or what are you going to do?' Angelina 'I'm going to go to... - I'm going to travel.' Interviewer 'Where are you traveling to?' Angelina 'To the USA.' CHEERING Interviewer 'Wow, that's a long way. What are you going to do there, sing, or just go on vacation?' Angelina 'Both.' Interviewer 'Both, yes, that sounds good.' 'When I think of an 8-year-old girl and it's summer, I think about eating ice cream, going swimming, and maybe going to an amusement park. Will there be time for that?' Angelina 'Yes...' Interviewer 'Yes, you've got to fit it in! At least an ice cream.' 'But are you ready to sing for us now?' Angelina 'Yes, I'm excited.' Interviewer 'If you're excited, Angelina, just imagine how excited we are.' 'Here she is! With "What a Difference a Day Makes." 'Please enjoy!'

Just a suggestion: watch until the end. She does a little bow. Not real critical on this performance but there will be others (not just Angelina's) where you could miss fan favorite Easter Eggs and other little tidbits. I'm really loving your analyses and comments. You've become on of my top favorite reactors. I really hope you make your 5K goal on schedule.

Dude I really enjoy how detailed and organized you are, it’s like sitting in a college music course with a real chill professor, thanks man

As an Angel who has watched this more times then i will count what has generally said was Hey, this Angelina she won NGT what are your plans this summer after winning. AJ said she is traveling and going to U-Sa or USA to both perform and to go on vacation. This is where I think she went on the view and sung Fly me to the moon.

It is almost funny (in a good way) listening to you speak about an 8 year old as though she was in her 20's....her talent is well beyond her years and good to see someone not totally hung up on the age as much as her genius musicality and what she can do with her vocal instrument....refreshing . Cheers Aron.

This is one of my favorite AJ performances!

David Foster said that this performance was the best he had ever heard from a child. And yes, sustaining vibrato through vocal fry at age 8 is unreal. And AJ was one of the biggest celebrities in Norway at the point of this concert.

🎉🎉

lol she has those jazz artist all bundled up in her . When she close her eyes they take over … lol

When I heard this for the first time I almost fell out of my Recliner and at 75 years old that saying something 👍🙏👣💯😎

Great reaction... tyvm... please react to "Angelina Jordan & band - Jamming on: Portrait of a child" It's a wonderful session... highly recommended!

Aron you must hear loving you thanks

One of my most favorite early covers from her, her endearing nature on full display and voice. I think she was 8 here, with that startling voice that comes out of her, always blows you away no matter how many times you've heard her at this concert. And her composure, like she was at the family Sunday social. Angelina is just awesome.

When Angelina sings "stormy", I believe she's using a vocal technique called "knurdle" or sometimes "kermit", because of it sounding like kermit the frog. She does it again when she sings "makes" at the end of the song. She doesn't bring this out often, but, off the top of my head, she used in Feelin' Good (at 10), when she sings "day is done", and again at the end of the second run after she belts "Road" in her AGT Yellow Brick Road performance.

"I,m still holding out for you" is coming. It's the mainstream side she can do as well.

Angelina is 8 here. When I listen to this and Dinah in succession there is no contest for me, Angelina is just better. I think you would find it really interesting to listen to her perform it again live at age 9 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q713lZydprWRpok.html and then at age10. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtV3lrKdvcC0iaM.html The evolution of her voice is quite evident.

Dude u gotta ck out Angelina jamming with her band covering Screamin Jay Hawkins song retitled Portrait of a Child, she's 8 & actually directs her band 😂

Do you know how surreal it is to hear you talk seriously, knowledgeably, and in detail about how Angelina is singing superbly well emulating the style and mature voices of the jazz greats, melding some of their techniques and adding in her own little inflections? And she’s 8???

Aron. They said that. This was the girl who Woke Norway up. Most never paid much attention to music and singers from Norway. Although they have this Festival during the summer and Autumn

Thank you Aron for all your AJ reactions love them all , this performance is heavenly, and for me my favourite version of this song at 8yrs old , close to Dina but she already has an undefinable radiance that touches me more than anyone else and now at 18yrs old that has only become greater, 😊💜👣💎

When Angelina said in the intro section of her Gloomy Sunday audition that she wanted to be a superstar, it wasn't just a dream, it was a plan, and she was about to take the first step. Since then with every performance, you can see her deliberately picking her way to stardom by her choices of classic songs. (Next, by the way, is Fly Me To The Moon on The View.) As for "Lord" - what a beautiful slide! Another highly informative video from my favourite reactor. Thank you once again!

She speaks about her winning NGT 2014 1 month ago and if she have been singing a lot after, which she have. She asks about her summer holiday plans and she say she will travel to USA for vacation and singing(The View-Fly me too the moon). She says she is looking to perform to the audience. I like your number counting of reactions and it is so nice to get insight from a jazz-musician. I heard a lot of bad jazz, giving me no feel, until Angelina came into the picture. I noticed at once she was special and i love her jazz now (addicted). I voted for her win and saw her live(was 6 meters away) in Kongsberg Norway summer 2022. My best concert ever! Also meeting other Angels(reactors). You make these reactions so interestin and they are never to long. We love her and her music. Love from Norway!

Excellent review with lots of research and insights, but I kept waiting for you to play the VERY END of that video. I kept repeating over and over, "Play the end! Play the end! Play the end!" I wanted to see when she takes a bow and sort of "hugs" the microphone close to her chest. It's one of the many endearing moments from Angelina's past, singing and performing like an adult, then immediately morphing back into an 8 year old child.

At another site the reactor mentioned that someone complained that she was copying. She mentioned that helps you to develop your own voice and I made a detailed reply that was very similar to what you said here so I totally agree with what you said on the subject. I like the fact that you pointed out that you could hear shadows of Billie even though she was emulating Dinah. I firmly believe that is one of the things that has allowed her to combine genre's in a single song. As she did more and more covers of different artists she became more versatile and flexible in how she could sing a song. You throw her interpretation and uniqueness into the mix and this is what you get. None can describe her but I have tried and can think of only one way: you throw all the great singers into a pot, mix them all together---pour them into a mold and you get Angelina. Add family----esp. Grandma, a dedicated Angelina who loves what she is doing and these are the results. I heard someone once complain about her covers "I don't want to hear Ella, Frank, Elvis, etc. I want her voice. Really. I don't play guitar but if someone complained that I sounded like Stevie Ray Vaughn I would think them a lunatic. I would settle for a duplicate of that in heartbeat but there will never be another SRV just like there will never be another Angelina Jordan. For all that got to this line--thank you for reading this I hope you got something from it. Note: I really like what you are doing with Angelina. More detailed than anyone else I have listened to.

Amazing ❤❤

Please enjoy and react to her first original, what is life. Don't stop love your reactions!!

Angelina, is "What A Difference A Day Makes".

Awesome reaction as always thank you wild bill 😊😊😊 thanks for doing this one next one of my favorites

Our Barefoot Princess of Jazz!

MAGICAL Rendition!!!! OMG!!!!!! INSANE SOUND!!!!!

She is an 8 year old All Star Jazz singer with 50 years of experience. When I listen to her I start believing in reincarnation.

❤❤❤

She performs this in Singapore just a little later and again...the improvement is prnounced. And when she gets to 10....a prefessional performer.

🙂♥👣🔥 Fire! 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

Please, A-Aron, play Angelina’s videos to the very end. In this one you missed her cute smile and bow. On her Cover Channel she usually waves and says, “Bye.” Her child’s voice comes as a big contrast to her mature voice. In a lot of early live performances before an audience she curtseys. In my mind it shows how humble she is. It’s all part of her charm. So please play her songs to the very end.

❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤

For this song alone she is a legion its so nice on the ears great reaction so many great songs to come look forward to your reaction on them ❤❤

Excellent reaction, Buddy! It's a great thing going through her performances chronologically, as it allows you to pick up on her development as it happened. Later on you will hear more and more that she inserts "herself" into the songs that she sings. And not only in her jazz covers obviously. I'm enjoying your discovery of her so far, and I'm really excited to see where you're at with her in let's say another 15 reactions. I really hope that you'll stay on her path for a while longer 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

🥰

💯

tone and rhythm of “stormy, since that moment of bliss” reminds me of Louis Armstrong 😊

Aaron, this video is often regarded as the favorite Angelina performance for many of her devoted angels all over the world. There are so many things going on in the video that capture our attention. We begin to swoon right after, "What a difference", is sung. That smile after she sings, "There's a rainbow before me", touches our heart and that smile indicates she is very much into the message of the song. There is absolutely no question, Dinah Washington's spirit smiles every time she hears Angelina sing this song. A little story: I was in my kitchen washing some dishes at the sink. The little tv I have in the kitchen had a movie on, 'Casino', and it was about the birth of Las Vegas. There was a tremendous sound track to the movie and at one point I began to hear 'What A Difference A Day Makes'. But, it was the sound of Angelina singing it. How could that be? Could it be possible my cell phone was on and it somehow started playing Angelina's version of the song. I dried my hands and went up to the tv and put my nose right up to the screen and I realized it was Dinah Washington singing. I had to sit down and listen to the rest of the song, I was in shock.

You are so good at this. It’s wonderful to see a reaction from someone who REALLY knows their stuff. Here’s a couple of songs she sang at 10. Completely different from each other: Autumn Leaves and I Will Survive. How about doing them both in the same video?

May be your next one would be: " At Last,..." incredible !!!

Great Reaction and Analysis 👍🙏👣💯😎

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Two more big performaces when she was 8 was the Nobel Peace price concert 2014 outdoor and the When she sang "Ill Be There" during a charity event when shes said to be sick because she got cold after she performed at the nobel peace prize. What a wonderful world @ Nobel Peace Prize concert kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5N2ftyJycDZlpc.htmlsi=AX1vFt-tHpExcU3Y I'll Be there kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLB5qtmIydWzY6M.htmlsi=fAcuPQb2r-ZYKcj2 Probably the sincerest "I'll be there" that i have ever heard and watched.

there are you closed captions...... its just for the song...... yes this was a short time after winning Norways Got Talent. Angelina DOES arrange the songs to suit her, and they are almost always better than the original. watch her cover of Adele EASY ON ME. its even better than the original. someone even did a mashup video of Adele and Angelina singing the song and of course Adeles is from her music video and Angelinas is a LIVE version video.

8 years old... how???

Subscribed…everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…👍👏

lol you can change your word emulating to channeling

@A.aron reacts.One thing that's happening in this video,its a woman there with much flowers in her hsir,closing her eyes and shaking her head,may be in disbelief of what she is hearing,but it could also be becauce she is recognizing a prodigy,and she would know.Her name is Anita Hegerland,and in the seventies she was herselves a prodigy,or at least a child star,at one point in time selling a lot of music in Norway,nbeaten on the list only by Michael Jackson.She was sing on west german television together with a great german artist,Roy Black,later in life she was married to a world renown artist Mike Oldfield,they gave out some music together,but I can't remember if they got any hits together.

Quando diciamo di Angelina che è un fenomeno abbiamo detto tutto.Ma vorrei sapere come fa una voce andare ,nel registro dico,andare in cantina e poi salire nel superattico,senza sforzo con intonazione perfetta.Forse i maestri di canto potrebbero dirci qualcosa....

You need to click on the CC (closed caption) seen at the bottom by mousing over the screen, I checked your link to the original video and it does have translation of Norwegian. The next song after this is "Fly Me To The Moon" on the View, I cant wait.

I have been compiling a timeline for Angelina's journey. Angelina's performance of "Summertime" was broadcast live on May 23, 2014. This performance of "What a Difference a Day Makes" took place on June 3, 2014. So just 11 days between the two performances. I wonder if Allsang Pa Grensen already had Angelina on the list of performers, before she won Norway's Got Talent. Would be interesting to learn.

🤎👣

I consider this one her most impressive performances based upon the quality of her voice, plus this is certainly the first time she has faced an audience if this size. And she's fearless. When you mentioned emulating I immediately thought of the attached. This is AJ one year later. No need to react to this. But it appears Angie heard Amy Winehouse between these two shows and reprised this song with an AW influence on Singapore's "Little Big Shots". This is a compilation /mashup of Amy (25) and Angelina (9). Can you hear the difference? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ismjhspirdXTd58.htmlsi=2ajiuETjy4yF5Ret

😀😀😀😀😀

No, Dinah would not approve, she hated people covering her songs! She is more than a star, she is a national treasure of Norway. I’m almost sure that she prepared this song for NGT but decided on “Bang Bang” and “Summertime”, and she also prepared “Fly Me to the Moon” which is a signature song for her, even getting the attention of Quincy Jones who personally invited her to open his 85th birthday celebration at O2 Arena in London singing his arrangement that he did for Frank Sinatra and the Count Basie orchestra.

Great reaction & commentary, but you should watch, on your own, the mash up video that popped up at the end of this. It goes back & forth between Angelina & Dinah singing this song & it will blow your mind. No need for a reaction video since you've already done the song, but you can hear the slight difference between them & it will only take 3 minutes of your time to hear how close this is to the original.

The ability to backphrase shows true talent. That technique can't be learned.

Great reaction but I was shocked you did not watch the video to the end. You missed her curtsy and smile.

You did link to the subtitled version, so I'm not sure why you didn't see the subtitles (YT's "CC" captions). You might have to click on the gear icon and specifically choose "Subtitles/CC" → "English" [not "English (autogenerated)"]. I've heard other people talking about having to do that. There is also an upload of this with the subtitles in the video image itself: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md50adVjuNybg4E.html (the image is quite low-res during the interview portion but sharpens up for the song - although still not as high quality as the video you watched here).

Here is a mash-up of Angelina and Dinah doing this song. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLNoarWqtre7k4U.html

Same age, same venue: Angelina Jordan - Feeling Good (Performs at Allsang På Grensen - TV2) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba6RgNmcy9KmcaM.html&start_radio=1

Please do react to Gigi de Lana cover of House of the rising sun by the animals

Look up the definition of the word emulate. You’re completely misusing that word in defining Jordan’s talent. She has the unique ability to change her vocal tone to sound like the artist of the song she is covering. Billie Holliday, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Gloria Gaynor, Miley Cyrus, Etta James, Lana del Rey, Amy Whinehouse, Michael Jackson (Heal the World). She doesn’t just imitate the artist for a few lines, she sings the whole song channeling that artist. They used to call her the girl with a thousand voices, for good reason. She’s been training her voice 4-6 hours a day, every day, since she was about 3 years old. She just turned 18 this January 10th, was enrolled in an afternoon music program in elementary school in Oslo,Norway where she was taught how to deconstruct, rearrange and read music and to play several musical instruments, two of which she still plays, the piano and the guitar. Put all this together with the innate ability Jordan was born with and the world has a very special vocalist and humanitarian!

Listening to you critique small deviations from the emulation of the original artist. She's eight dude.

I was disappointed about comments being turned off on your reaction of 1.5 year old Angelina.

You're talking too much and playing 3 seconds of Angelina before interrupting again is discouraging me from watching. Take notes and talk later. I'm trying to help you.
