I think Billie Holiday and Louie Armstrong said let's go sing in this little Norwegian girl!!!!❤❤❤

Angelina was 7 years old for this song, and 13 yrs old for Bohemian Rhapsody, listen yo I put a spell on you at 9 yrs old!

She was 7 years old, here. She was 8 years old when she won the competition. Thank you for your good job of explaining complicated matters, in easy to understand terms.

She was 7 here, and 13 for "Bohemian Rhapsody". Those slides are Billie Holiday's trademark, and Angelina used to sing along with her grandmother's jazz records. To see her at 9, watch the black and white video of "I Put A Spell On You". That one is much different, and was influenced by the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version.

She was 7 here. With 9 years, she was in a completely different league. Which is why everyone wants you to react to the black and white Version of I put a spell on you...

She's actually 7 here: 7!, for God's sake. If you want to hear her at 9, strap in and watch the black and white version of 'I Put a Spell on You", the Screamin' Jay Hawkins classic. By the way, this is not particularly low for her. Angelina won this contest without ever going to either extreme (high or low), instead relying on her ridiculous artistry. You'll soon see that she never fails to surprise (and impress) you. 😎

This was her first audition for NGT, she was 7. Half way through the competition she had a birthday and turned 8. Appreciate you reaction and analyst. When she was 9 she sang, I Put A Spell On You, which is considered a masterpiece.

Angelina is an old soul, and a treasure. I love that her grandmother influenced and introduced her granddaughter to jazz from the 40s and 50s. And the love they share. I’m 80 and have a granddaughter I treasure. Angelina has a wonderful, close relationship with her parents and grandparents.

She has said she doesn't get nervous. her grandmother has a great impact on her jazz and singing. TYVM

Perhaps the best audition of all time. The song sticks in my brain, I find myself singing it unconsciously.

"True class as an artist" This describes Angelina on so many levels, as you will find out on your journey.

Angelina is actually 7 years old here which makes it even more impressive. The most requested video is typically I put a spell on you when she was just nine.

The brief glimpse of the woman with long blonde hair watching her in the monitor--that's her mother.

Angelina has always been completely relaxed and yet utterly in control of every detail of her singing

She's only 7 here. When she was 9 she recorded in studio her arrangement of 'Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I put a spell on you" which is a masterpiece.

Angelina Jordan, EMPRESS OF Jazz.

She's actually only 7 yrs old here and in AGT she was 13

7 y.o. and she brought class and feeling, and a world of technique to a BIG stage! The performance at 9 that everyone recommends is I Put A Spell On You.

Angelina is not just a singer she's a true artist who knows how to express emotions through her voice leaving listeners in awe.

Angelina was 7 years old in this performance. If you want to see her at age 9 the best example is her performing I Put a Spell On You (BW version).

Angelina Jordan was amazing singing "I put a spell on you" in her own very unique way.

Would you like to hear Angelina at 9? You saw her on AGT at 13 and here at 7 years old. Perhaps one of the most astounding performance was of her at 9 years and 2 months old, singing what many say is a masterpiece cover of Screamin Jay Hawkins 1956 Jazz hit, "I Put a Spell on You." She's arranged her cover to properly honor Jay, as you can tell when she holds up the candle with his face on it. It can be found on one of her channels and is filmed in black and white. After you watch what she put into this one, you will catch a fair inkling of what she is capable of. The video has been viewed over 10 million times from her channel and many, many more times on reactor channels. Next to the AGT performance, this song was the next most watched performance.

She’s so worth going down the rabbit hole. She’s so hypnotic you feel every word.

Peter she was 7 years old NOT 9! She sang jazz at 7! Check out all her performances on Norway's Got Talent. She turned 8 right at the end when she WON against all the adults. Also she was only 13 when she sang Bohemian Rhapsody. Particularly epic ... her rendition of Summertime at age 8 in NGT. Also her studio performance (complete with live jazz band) when she was 10 and did the arrangement herself singing a tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins singing "I Put a Spell on You".

She was 7 Aj is amazing.

Billie Holiday never had a great singing range, but had one of the BEST sounding voices I'll ever hear; the pain, the trauma, the rain on the darkest days and at the same time sitting next to a cosy fire with a hot chocolate. To pull this off as a child is unreal!

Peter, thank you so very much for returning to analyze Angelina Jordan again. While we fully understand why you skipped to when Angelina starts singing on the video, since with the majority of videos from talent shows you won't learn too much. Angelina is completely unique and if you had watched the introduction, you would have been educated in many ways about Angelina and also that she was 7 years old for this audition. A large percentage of Angelina videos have her waving and saying goodbye in her young voice after hugging our souls with her remarkable deep, soulful voice, so we appreciate reactors playing the entire video. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial

Angelina at 7 was a marvel. Angelina at 17 has now taken it to another level. I have had the good fortune to listen to her new song on loop for the last 4 hours, and I truly have no words to properly describe how good it is. I'm pretty sure all her fans are going to be blown away when they get to hear it.

She was 13 on AGT, and here she is seven! This was her first performance for Norway’s Got Talent. There are three more you need to watch, each one more amazing than the previous one.

She was actually original adding stuff of her own to her performances back then

Thank you! She was actually 7 here. This was her first public appearance, and went on to win the competition (as if you couldn't tell). I think you should watch her final performance for the show, which was Summertime (she had just turned 8 by then). After that, maybe I Put a Spell On You, when she was 9. She is now 17 and sounds amazing!

*YOUR REACTION WAS PRICELESS, & MADE ME FEEL THE SAME WAY I DID THE 1ST TIME I HEARD THIS* I am so jealous, that you are just discovering the wonder, that is Angelina Jordan!!! You are truly in for the ride of your life 😊 I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or what genre she fits in, & I have accepted, she does not fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in league all of her own.....❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! Really enjoyed your informative & reaction** ❤ 💚 💜

Thanks!

Everytime you said "9" I would cry back to the monitor .. "7"!!! :)

I think you confused the highly recommended Iconic music video, I Put A Spell On You (B&W version), when she was 9, with this 7 yo audition for NGT. This was her introduction to the World which went viral followed by 3 more performances, each better than the one before

I think you know so little about Angelina capabilities, even at this age, you need to listen more, and ponder more. This is an artist that puts your expertise in question

She was 7 for 'Gloomy Sunday and 13 for 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. I am sure her fans have proffered AJ timelines, Angels that they are. 🥰

What an amazing talent!

Lovely performance and a lovely reaction. Thank you!

Wonderful performances are what Angelina does. Great commentary !

Angelina is a expert on vibrato and vocal slides she is also a master word painter

7 years old in her audition for Norway's Got Talent. Angelina Jordan. She sings a cappella in the next elimination round, another Billie Holiday, song, "I'm A Fool To Want You." It could be that many folks were recommending you visit her 9 year old age performance, live in studio, of the Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 original, "I Put A Spell On You." I value your input, the ear you bring to your reaction and the distinctions you make. Thank you, Peter. Grandma Ellen, out.

You've made some good points on healthy singing techniques for children. It's true that many children push too hard, although they don't have the capacity yet to tackle certain songs.

Angelina was 7 years old for the first song, Gloomy Sunday, of her Norway's Got Talent performances. From there she finished with "Summertime" at age 8. She had other performances during her eighth year and at 9 years of age she arranged and performed I've Got a Spell on You. So you are watching the beginning of her public appearances, of which there were many, many...

There is a video posted where someone mixed this performance with Billie Holiday’s, and it’s uncanny how almost exactly they sound. Holiday does all of those slides, it was one of her trademarks. Angelina is only 7 years old here, and she says that at the age of 1 1/2 she began singing Jazz, lol, while most kids are singing Disney.

7 years old here. Her first performance on Norway’s Got Talent. For a nine year old performance, Check out her incredible video of “I Put a Spell on You”.

You will want to listen to every time we say goodbye and how great thou art, those two will blow your mind.

Hey Peter!! 7 years in this performance and 13 years in AGT, which makes this musical Aliena even more impressive, good life from Italy Massimo

Angelina won the Norways Got Talent show she was 7-8 when she won

So glad you can appreciate the unique talent in Angelina. If you haven't already, I highly recommend that you do a reaction to her version of "I Put A Spell On You". She was 7 when she did Gloomy Sunday. She is 9 when she does "...Spell on you", but if you don't watch her, you will think she is in her late 20's. Look forward to your expert analysis of this one for sure! It is mind-blowing! 😨

Angelina was 13 with Bohemian Rhapsody, and with this performance of Gloomy Sunday Angelina was 7 and is her first audition on Norway Got Talent, great reaction thanks 🙏

7 years YOUNG Peter ❤❤❤❤ Merciiii

Many other commentors have already said exactly what I was thinking, but I'd still like to add my name to the list. Angelina is only seven here, and by the time she was nine and two months, she had developed exponentially. I doubt if there's ever been a singer who advanced so quickly. It's all very apparent in her performance (and arrangement) of "I Put a Spell On You." There is so much to comment about in this performance that I think you will be able to enjoy it immensely, and maybe even be challenged to discern all the complexities of her techniques. I know your expert and insightful interpretations will delight your listeners and followers, especially Angelina fans like myself. But I'd also like to support you with a modest donation to your patreon, as you do an amazing job in educating us. I'm looking forward to your next Angelina reaction. Please don't wait too long, as I'm 86 with some major health issues ((LOL). Thanking you in advance. RH

The rhapsody was age 13 and this is age 7, born Jan 10, 2006, not that is the most important aspect of her performances but a factor none-the-less. As she sings, you can see the gaps where her teeth are going to version 2.0. She says she never feels nervious, she is just doing what she loves and it shows. If you are not familiar with Billies' version of this song, I highly recommend you take the time to listen to it and compare, much of what does not make sense in this presentation is, in fact, part of Billie's version. Next item on the watch list is AJ's version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' I Put a Spell on You, B&W version ... warning, strap in first. thanks for sharing

It's an absolute joy listening/watching you analyze these artists & songs! Thank You!

Nice reaction thank you. Angelina is all about the story not showing off her voice. As you watch more of her videos you will understand that she could sing just about anything. And she always sings the way she imagines.

She sang 'Summertime' very well also.

her first performance in ngt(norway got talent) 7years old and her last performance summertime 8years old

She is 7 here! I put a spell on you 9yrs old bohemion raphsody 13yrs .!

You got it ,we appreciate her as a classy artist . She is really gods gift

Hi Peter - thank you for your reaction to this video of Angelina. FYI Angelina is 7 in this performance not 9. If you do appreciate her talent hold onto your seat. Over the next 10 years she continues to get better and better. Her versatility will blow you away. Just when you think you have a handle on her style and range her next release will knock you off your feet. Stay tuned and enjoy.

If you haven't yet, please watch all 4 of her performances of NGT. She was 7 when she started and turned 8 towards end of competition. Also please react to her singing I Who Have Nothing, her first time in a studio. Angelina is a child prodigy who started singing at 18 months. One of my all time favorites at 9 yrs old i I Put A Spell On You. I've literally watched that performance hundreds of times. She also arranges all her covers and makes them her own. She was introduced to jazz by her grandmother. Angelina is a beautiful 17 yr old singer now and has several of her own songs now. Enjoy and God bless you.

The good news is you don't have to wrap your head around a 9 year old singing like that. She was 7

Oh and heads up he fans are diehard protective of he lol. She has fans from age 5 to 85 and they all LOVE HER

Whoops - you didn't listen to her introduction, where she replied she was, "Seven." This was her first time in public, although there are about 5 videos made earlier at 6 and 7 years old in studio at her after-school music academy. Those recordings, particularly, "I Who Have Nothing," is worth a gander. She was trained in music theory and arrangements, piano, flute, and violin, and later picked up guitar. No attempt was ever made to train her vocally for fear it would destroy her natural and wonderful voice. She listened to thousands of recordings from jazz artists, sometimes on repeat, from age 3 to 7, first from her grandmother's record collection, and later from KZfaq. She was born on January 10, 2006, in case you need to pinpoint her age. Beware, however, that many videos were not posted until a year after they were made. In April of 2018, when she was 12, she received her Neumann microphone which improved the recording quality of all her songs thereafter. America's Got Talent - The Champions I was recorded in the fall of 2019 when Angelina was 13, but not aired until the following Winter when she was 14.

Beautiful and interesting reaction, Peter, thank you. This was the first time I heard this little fairy sing, 10 years ago and I've been hooked ever since. In all these years I have listened to she thousands of times in hundreds of splendid interpretations and yet every time I see this first performance of hers at the age of 7, it makes me move again, like the first time, with that wonderful concentration of humility, simplicity, candor , sympathy and talent. 💛🧡❤

Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Been following her for years. Love your reaction. Keep in mind english is not her first language.

You will want to watch Norway got talent SUMMERTIME performance

YES .. I believe you are right that they were sending you to watch I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, which she did when she was 9. Extraordinary ... please please see it .. I would like to hear your reaction because she heard Screamin' Jay Hawkins singing his song and she fell in love with it and wanted to do it herself. His version is very old but you can still see it here on KZfaq, if you're interested in seeing what she uses and what she dances around in that cover. It is extra-ordinary in every way. I really love your reactions and appreciate the way you teach and the way you hear. I am very happy that you are with us here in Angelina's world. THANK YOU!

That was awesome Peter, thanks. She's amazing.

Angelina's subtlety, calm control and artistic choices - those are her hallmarks, still, at age 17. At this age, which was 7, she showed that she knew she was born to sing, as one of the judges said. Peter, I've subscribed before and enjoy your vocal analysis as well as your own singing. So glad you discovered Angelina Jordan and can explain to us the intricacies of her technique! Thanks.

AJ is 7 here. Please listen to her final performance of Summertime, at 8, in this competition. Her progress during NGT is from a raw audition to a professional final performance.

No worries you probably got her most requested Video "I put a spell on you" at age 9 mixed up with this one at age 7. You won't believe the growth between 7, 8, 9 and at 10 She supercharged with a number of remarkable recordings.... Of course 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are all incredible. lol :) And yes the flashy song is "I put a spell on you" but not in terms of high notes, just overall skill, tools, spunk, and style. lol She was also 13 on Bohemian Rhapsody. So this is 6 years before that. :) Thanks for you reaction SIr. :)

This song at age 7 was the launch of Angelina to the public. She saw an amazing growth in her voice from 7 to 8 within the Norway's Got Talent show. Her jaw dropping performance of "I Put A Spell On You" at age 9 yrs 2 mths is the most requested song to reactors. You would have a lot to analyze.

Next for Angelina, who is 17 now: I Put a Spell on You-she was 9, and this is remarkable. She has been arranging the music she sings since a child. Second song: A Million Miles, she’s 15 here. She wrote this song about her granddad. I think this was the first song published after finally signing a contract at 14. Something she avoided doing for many years, and her contract gives her incredible amount of control. Amazing.

Angelina, even at this age, is NOT into flash. As you also noted her sliding is PURPOSEFUL, nothing she does is not purposely her choice. Her vibrato is unequaled, love your reaction/analysis!

Angelina always takes a deep hold on me. Hard to hold back the tears. 😅

AJ doesn't cover many artists. She channels them with emotional integrity. Billie, Ella, Sarah Vaughn, Shirley Bassey, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, John Legend, Whitney Houston, Adele. The list goes on and on as a child and now at 17 she is bringing her own style to the fore. No flash, just what the song requires. But as she progressed: need some belts sure no problem. Need whistle tones, sure no problem. Vocal fry. Behind the beat. Rasp. Breathy onset. Bluesy 1/3 tone slides into the notes. Eastern european mellismas. Blues runs. She has so many vocal techniques in her bag of tricks, but always in the service of the song. Never just for show . She is so fascinating to hear and move your soul.

I like your analysis of 7 year old Angelina. To hear her pure voice watch her second performance in this contest “I’m a fool to want you” a Capella!

You nailed it. A CLASSY performance for a child this age. AJ is always classy in an age appropriate way.

Angelina was seven when she winn norway got talent. Think she was born to sing. Please continue follow her. She has done own songs. Nice reaction. Im an Angel (Angelina fan) ❤ She is the best singer in the world now.

Это выступление Анджелины опубликовано в 2014 году, 9 лет назад. На нём малышке всего 7 лет и это самое лучшее её исполнение данной композиции.

at start of NGT she was 7, the finale she was 8

I just love it bringing back the classics! What child chooses this song. It's her Screaming Jay Hawkins version of I put a spell on you. You will see she does the arrangements at the beginnin... Then Summertime, Fly me to the moon, to name a few. Cheers

She was here 7 years old, and look het her she is relaxed not afreed for the big stage.

The BBC banned Billie Holiday's version of the song from being broadcast, as being detrimental to wartime morale, but allowed performances of instrumental versions. However, there is little evidence of any other radio bans; the BBC's ban was lifted by 2002. This is the original Gloomy Sunday - Billie Holiday kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbtzrM11tNLSgIk.html

Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole! You will find she is a vocal chameleon performing many different styles. You can start when she was even younger with "I Who Have Nothing", then finish her Norways Got Talent other 3 performances. I already see some good suggestions here. She exploded @ age 10 with many stunning performances. I have so many favorites there are too many to list here. She will be releasing her first "official professional" performance tomorrow 5/5!

Great reaction. Angelina gives a song just what it needs - no fancy fills required for this, just the emotional expression showing how she really connects to the story. You have probably been requested to listen to I put a spell on you by Scremin' Jay Hawkins - that is a song with some serious passion, she sang that age 9 (7 in this song). You will probably think that it is not healthy to do it as she did, but it was like a concept performance, a smoother yet still powerful version was quickly developed for her live performances. The driving force for the way she decides to sing a song is purely for artistic reasons, not just to impress - for her it's to express the feelings the emotions, the passion ...

Angelina was 7 years old here. And 13 on America's Got Talent.

I always giggle with sheer joy watching her when she squints her eyes and really feels those notes. She is so gosh darn cute I can hardly stand it! An absolute doll!

Her semi final number she sings Nancy Sinatras BANG BANG and its the definitive version bacause of the synchronicity of her voice , the image of a little girl in white with flowers in her hair and the lyrics. "I was 5 and he was 6". In the final she sang SUMMERTIME

Thank you for your very informative analysis . really enjoyed your 1st and 2nd. looking for more . welcome to the amazing Angelina Jordan .

She has a mirror neuron count higher than Yoda.

Great reaction! Angelina can sing anything! ❤

Interesting analysis. Angelina was 7 years old at this audition performance. Her voice is apparently classified as a true contralto these days. "How Great Thou Art" (age 12 or 13) is a testament to Angelina's lower register. The 9 year old Angelina performance that will help you to understand Angelina is the studio version (Black & White) of "I Put A Spell On You". subbed for more AJ

🌺💜💖💜🌺 I appreciate your nice reaction to Angelina Jordan's audition song Gloomy Sunday. By the way, she was only 7years old that time. Could you please make another reaction if you want to hear her sing "I'm a Fool to Want You" which was her pre-audition song.

Angelina was 7 years young in this first auditions performance from Norways Got talent and she sings similarly how Billy Holiday the feeling,the raspi,timing,the vibrato was pitch perfect I’m a music expert I know what I’m talking about ! hard to believe the old Soul in her body she is Phenomenal out of this world 🌍 !!! amazing !Angelina has all the old great Jazz and Soul singers inkarniert in her body and Soul !and when Angelina sings everyone in her comes to life again !!! Angelina is the new voice in this new time and generation!!! In my opinion Angelina will be the best female singer of all time in about 5 years sure 100% I’m a „Big Big“ Angelina Angel 😇(Fan) Angelina our Queen of Jazz 👸🎙🎺🎷🎸🎼and barefoot 🦶Princess 👸call us all her Angel 😇 I’ve been listening to Angelina’s music videos every days for 2 years ! Roger out.😊GREAT reaction Peter 👍👌Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭love ❤and peace✌️🙏😇👍👌👋🏻🙋‍♂️

Angelina started the contest at age 7 and is 8 when she won. Pls watch the entire competition as she has 3 more songs. Also react to her first time ever in a studio at 6 yrs singing I Who Have Nothing. She does her own arrangements even at this young age. She's a child prodigy as was her Grandmother,who raised Angelina on these old Jazz and Blues songs. She practices some 5 hrs a day. She has hundreds of covers and many of her own. You can learn so much about this beautiful young songstress by reading coments from her very large fan base. We're called her Angels

Seven years and a seasoned pro. Is that even possible? Great reaction!

Your Gloomy Sunday reaction was magnificent. I do think her four songs on NGT are truly truly worthy and I would love to hear what you had to say. The next song she sings is I"M A FOOL TO WANT YOU .. a young Frank Sinatra song and once again, Billie Holiday. She does this very complex song A CAPELLA. What a wonder she is! I really really really would love to hear what you have to say about this. I really hope you react to it. I know there are tons and tons of Angelina songs .. but this one is extraordinary. After that she does BANG, BANG, written by Sonny for Cher, but didn't become popular until Nancy Sinatra took it on. And the last song, the "finale" is SUMMERTIME .. George Gershwin, I believe, and it is delicious and delightful. By the time she sang Summertime she had turned 8. Her vibrato is shockingly gorgeous because of what you were already saying about her vibrato .. it is comfortable and not in any way pushed. She is so centered in her feelings and having the way she is singing pass on the love and feelings of the song. She speaks of this from a very early age and Lord knows, she really has continued that practice. She touches people's hearts always. Reading about how she affects people is truly interesting. Thank you. I think you would love what she did with I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU ... hearing a child of 7 do this is not a normal thing in any way. Thank you for your great reactions.
