7 years, 9 years, 13 years, 17 years - no matter which age, I simply can't get enough of Angelina.
Same here; her voice is perfect at every age.

@@kentovewagenes1141 and @charlespeterson7502 - this would be a good way to find out exactly how many Angels are out there! 👼
¡ES MI OXIGENO!
You must realize that she was not told or trained how to do this. She came out of her dressing room with a piece of paper and said, these are my wishes. She requested it be done in a 6-count rhythm. This child is not just a prodigy, she is a musical genius!!
I not only think she’s a vocal prodigy, I also think she’s a musical genius. This is her arrangement. At 9 years old. How many 9 year olds could sit down and come up with an arrangement like this. I think the whole thing is phenomenal in every respect.
Angelina was "designed by the Lord to sing." I love that, Tara! No way in the world she was taught how to do *that* at nine, and with such abandon. Absolutely 100% a vocal prodigy; YT is filled with the proof. Thanks for commenting also on how Angelina really "performed" this song with her whole body and soul, not just with her voice (and suggesting that this performance be taught in colleges). So, so true! Thanks for a very enjoyable reaction!
👍👍
echo echo echo
You may love it all you like, but it is not true. Angelina is a sole product of her granny's desire to have a super star grand daughter. Angelina didn't realize before long after. Maybe not before she was fifteen and almost ruined it and she's still walking on the edge of ruin it on a daily basis under the American influence.
@@CZcams_Stole_My_Handle_Too 🤡
We are made by design and it's all written in our destiny.. her own lyrics from Good in Goodbyes 🎇
Her grandmother would play jazz when she had Angelina She’s definitely a prodigy! Love her!
… There are many good singers... but Angelina is the "Diamond" ✨💎✨ among them !!! … Thank you
These days the word Prodigy has been overused however in case of Angelina Jordan I believe that it has been underused. Her comprehension of music and her interpretation of songs are way beyond her years. Even setting aside her amazing unique voice and her technical abilities, the way she touches hearts and engulfs souls with emotions is overwhelming. I listen to her and my goosebumps get goosebumps.
Thank you for this reaction video and I look forward to your reaction to her new originals on her recently released EP.
I will always come back to the young Angelina because she has done soooo much incredible work for such a young person but I also appreciate the evolution of her growth in every aspect of her life. She should be a subject of study. Today at 17 Angelina has created her own brand in spite of the comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Adele. Today Angelina has created a new style of music not seen yet anywhere by mixing generational music becoming a timeless and brilliant artist.
100% a child prodigy and she is getting so much better if that is possible AMAZING is an understatement, by the way you look amazing as always x
AJ is what I call a once in a generation singer. I will go so far as to say she is a legend.
I have zero doubts about AJ's prodigy.
And...she's reading the lyrics! But she can still completely inhabit this song. As for the Whitney, I have never thought belting was Angelina's thing (though she nails it in The Show Must Go On and captures the pain of Freddie's impending death). You might like her take on I'd Rather Go Blind or Go Easy On Me or Stay (all of which equal the very wonderful originals). Just listen your way through her covers--I like Happier a lot too. She was a prodigy, but she's a genius at any age. Glad you're doing her.
There is no single favorite by Angelina. All of what she has done qualifies as a favorite.
At any age, her voice is my favourite sound in the whole universe. I could never tire of it. It evolves, it matures, it becomes more agile as the years go by, but it always retains a certain distinctive quality that makes it one of a kind and just immensely pleasing, and I always see the same amazing human being when I look at her beautiful unique face.
Great reaction.
Angelina was actually barely 9 years and 2 months when she recorded this. The video wasn’t posted until about a year and a half later for some reason.
Suspicious Minds Angelina is my favorite. The opening phrase is the broadest fullest warmest well placed notes I’ve ever heard anybody sing ever. She carved emotions out of. Wood and turned them into notes covered in wool. She totally rewrote it into a painful ballad about distrust and gave the lyrics the proper weight of the subject and not some vegas horn band jangle pop over repeated.
First time seeing this??? I thought everyone who had heard of her had seen this! lol Guess not:P Your vocal prodigy question answered!
What gets me is she does exactly what the song needs, nothing more, nothing less. She doesn't input anything just to show off. She will use something unique for one song and never repeat it again, unless, of course, she thinks it's required for another.
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance (the video was posted after she turned 10) - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: czcams.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/video.html
Yep, she was 9yrs and 2 months old here to be exact.
She wrote this arrangement & the studio band didn’t expect a 9 yr old to singing this. They call her the boss. ❤ your reaction!
Some of the studio band members (piano, for instance) are semi-regulars with her and practice for her summer jazz festival circuit. They are probably the ones who brought her to the attention of the producer.
I love every phase of her development, I find myself rewatching videos for hours. By the way, since she is now 5'10' I think her feet have been telling us to prepare for a beautiful statuesque woman.🤩
Yes she's a prodigy and a musical genius. She knows her music frontways and backward. She's amazing.
9yr old jazz prodigy 👸🏻🎙👣❤️ Thanks for you reaction 👍🏻
Apart from the obvious vocal abilities, Angelina is fearless! Here she was inspired by the very theatrical performance of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, bringing musicality to the rendition, without loosing any of the passion. She commented that this song was about love, desperate love.
I'm glad you finally did this one. It really illustrates the grasp that she has on vocalization, control, technique, and style even at a young age. Angelina has been working and performing and honing her craft at a master level for 10 years and she's only just 17. She is the most exciting and promising artist I have seen in my 58 years on the earth.
Actually, I have heard it said by other vocal coaches that she's a 17 year old with 16 years of singing experience.
@@sulatlalaki Yes, I remember Lolli Wren AKA "The Fairy Voice Mother" saying that when she reacted to "Love Don't Let Me Go." I'm sure she was exaggerating for effect, but it's true that Angelina was already trying to sing some Whitney Houston when she was only 1.5!!!
@@sulatlalakiYes, Valerie at Vocal Splendor Studios said that Angelina could have coached professionally at age 10.
this song is amazing ..please watch it ok?? czcams.com/video/i8WJVrlLAWE/video.html
Its not just her vocal prowess either, but its her emotional connection to what she is performing. There are grown adults with years of life to pull from who don't connect like she does. Easily a God given talent!!!!
Jaw drop said it all and her covering "I'm A Fool To Want You", rehearsal at 11 years old in the studio in 1 take, is mind blowing at same level, God Bless!
I think you'd love this performance, Tara. Here's a link to it: czcams.com/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/video.htmlsi=-lbb482Sj2nDFQ6G
Angelina sings to express, not to impress. But impress she does, gloriously 🤯👣🧡🧡🙌❣️
ANGELINA was 9 year and 2 months when she make the cover "i put a spell on you" by screaming Jag Hawkins..🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪
Tara, awesome to have you reacting to Angelina again. Tara, you are good at math. Your thumbnail says Angelina was 10 years old for this remarkable performance. We have learned she was around her 9th birthday when this was recorded and thanks for saying so a couple times in the video, but for reasons unknown, the video was not uploaded to CZcams for just over a year. Regardless, Angelina follows her instincts to deliver a remarkable, emotional performance.
Notice the up tick in comments and views? What will it be like after the promotion next year?
This next 6 months should be appreciated highly, life for fans will have to adapt to the next chapter. U tube may have to adapt as well.
Tara, even at 9 years old everything she does is intentional. Of course she has a God given gift but she is brilliant and works very hard at her trade. She is so much more than a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime singer. Think about the question you asked us: Do we like her more as a 9 year older or as a present day 17 year older who is about to take the world by storm! She is refining her abilities since she was (? since she was born??) very young and we love her equally at any age because we love 'who she is'. Obviously this particular video is super unique but her soulfulness and storytelling qualities must be considered whenever critiquing whatever she is singing.
BEAST MODE for me....when she spreads out those little fingers and belts out those lines....she's mesmerizing!
A vocal prodigy, multi instrumentalist, multi lingual! She was born to be. We're thrilled to go for the ride!
Angelina Jordan IMO is Definitely a Vocal Prodigy. Her Grandmother Mary is a Child Prodigy also, her gifts were in Painting Art and Poetry and she is very well known. I am sure she passed on to Angelina so good advise on Poetry and song writing since she was very, very young. In fact, we know Angelina is the Youngest Published Author at the age of 8. The book is called, “Between Two Hearts”. Large feet at age nine to support her 6 foot tall body at age 17. 😊🎉😊
Angelina is not just a musical prodigy, she is a human prodigy. A definite world treasure.
Angelina at any age is definitely a phenom. I’ve never heard a cover she has sung that I didn’t think contained more soul and emotion than the original. Now at 17 years old, with her new EP, has melded Nina, Billie, Aretha, Ella, Etta, Sarah, Bessie and others together and brought them all with her into the 21st century! It puzzles me when people are quick to make the Amy comparison. Where do they think she got her sound? From the same music Angelina got her influences from. It shouldn’t be such a big surprise that they sound similar.
There are thousends angles waiting your next reaction of angelina. Please dont stop
I was amazed that you had not heard this one, she is a prodigy, natural instinct.
I've watch many reactors react to this video; professional voice teachers and coaches, singers of different genres, musicians all have a very similar reaction "what!", "how!" , "no way!" and just pure amazement. What 9+ year old would sing this song - Angelina!
Tara, when she was 6 she went to a studio and sang I Who Have Nothing. It was her first time in a studio and after she finished the song she asked did I do well? The technician said, for your first time, you did VERY WELL! There is even one point, after she hit a difficult note where you can see her celebrate what she did while she continues singing. 🎶🎶👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
What makes that performance even more remarkable is its her 1st time in a recording booth, she is reading the lyrics which are in her 3rd language and the video is her 1st take. The thumbs up she gives kills me every time
Thats not right. Before I who have nothing she did Rolling in the deep, Skyfall and Hurt. They are all at youtube. When the teacher says its first time, its first time she sing this song - not the first time in the box.
@@gerdna3019 Here is the link that I have saying I am right. If you have proof otherwise, PLEASE give me the link! czcams.com/video/OtPkxHf_r0M/video.html 🎶🎶👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
@@gerdna3019 i have heard this was her first time in the recording booth, i dont have source info so either 1 of you could be right. She is still 6 singing a song in her 3rd language. I am 56 and i dont have a 3rd language lol.
@@marketsquareus It says right in the video link I provided that it is her first time. Beside that, if it wasn't her first time she wouldn't get THAT excited about hitting that tough note! 😉😉😊😊❤❤👗👗👠👠🤐🤐
Hi Tara. Your reaction was quite entertaining. She's not a typical prodigy, iMHO. She has surpassed all measures of being one, and MUCH MUCH more. It's not only the vocal abilities that set her apart, but the reinterpretation of legendary songs which we thought were perfect and no one dared to touch! Your concluding question at the end tries to separate the 9 year old from the 16 year old Angelina. She can resurrect any stage of her musical being anytime she wishes. I submit to you that today's Angelina is an encyclopedia of all music genres, or legends, through her persistent perseverance since childhood. She is at least a genius! May God protect His precious creation at all times. She deserves it, and we love ❤ her. Peace ✌
yes - there is no question she is a prodigy!
She did it just like she wanted to do it.! Master piece.!
Tara, I was delighted in watching your first time reaction to Angelina at 9 years of age. Your comments were spot on, and ever since I heard our "barefoot princess" sing this iconic rendition of Screaming Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You", there was no doubt in my mind that reincarnation is real, and Angelina is the proof. A vocal prodigy, hands down.
She had already won Norway's Got Talent and she with family had hired this band full time for almost a year.
This is actually the only song she growls in. Her parents aloud it that time and she went full in. And an EPIC performance was the result
This girl is going places. It's all i have to say....
did you know that she arranged this also the note she writes at the start is to the guy leading the band just some final touches before recording and she is also known for only doing 1 take aswell
Amazing, I was sure you saw it, thanks for the wonderful reaction Tara. This song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤
A few weeks ago her new EP "Old Enough" came out, although of course you can't react to everything, you definitely have to listen to the 6 special songs, even if it's just for your pleasure, they are so peculiar and different that also extremely inspiring to a vocal coach in the optical of evolution of voice!
I really can't prefer an age of Angelina, she is always so present and involved in what she sings, that the various facets of what she gives us perform the miracle of making her fascinating in every age and in every genre.
👍👍
Tara, I reacted the same way the first time I watched Angelina's video, a 9-year-old singing like an old jazz singer from "Back in the Day!" Angelina is a Child prodigy, influenced and introduced to Jazz music by her grandmother, who loves old jazz recordings. The band during this studio session was so impressed with her arrangement of "Screaming Jay Hawkins's" 1956 classic, that they nicknamed her "The Bross!"
A Prodigy, a god given talent, and a personality to match ❤️ Pure class, humble, giving, loving, caring. So all in all, yeah, pretty amazing, i'll say ❤️
People will disagree, but I’m her biggest fan. 😊
I’m more of a guitar player (of almost 50 years), and I find a LOT of inspiration in Angelina’s entire artistry. She’s one of a kind.
It is impossible to choose which Angelina I like best as they are truly one and the same. It is the evolution of her artistry that is so captivating. In the nine year old, you can see the hints of what she will become at 17. And at 17, one can only imagine what she will evolve into in the years to come. But this I know, she was born to sing, a gift from God to this world. And I believe she accepted that responsibility at an early age and lives it to the very depths of her being.
Vocal prodigy in the extreme!!!! Stupendous. Obviously an old soul. There's just something incredibly special about "I Put A Spell on You"
She is very special! It just gets better.
Girl there is no explanation how a child can do this like it's impossible to be this good this young
Also, she wrote the arrangement for the piece. The musicians called her "the boss."
She’s a prodigy.
Just my opinion here., I think that, even though she didn't need to, she was making her 1st appearance into the entertainment world. She knew (she or they, her parents) had everything she needed but made a BIG STATEMENT after winning the Talent contest. And now that she is older and wiser, the music we are hearing is nothing but GREAT and HER likes. And now, you lasted this long without listening or seeing this video. Nice job. Because I am betting that you were requested to react to it for YEARS. I could be wrong though. Nice Post, Tara.
I have learned (and many others have commented the same), the last song you heard Angelina sing is the best you have heard. There is something unique and magical in every song, regardless of her age. Her development doesn’t seem linear; she is like an ever expanding circle.
(She never sang this song publicly like this again. Supposedly she was advised that some of the techniques could be unhealthy to repeat.)
Totally agree, not linear. More like cubic or exponential growth. She'll have to top out somewhere along the line ... or maybe not! 👼
@@Owen_S. I could imagine AJ reaching the limits of her anatomy and then composing sympathies that act as an extension of her vocals.
@@dojoswitzer I can't imagine Angelina ever resting on her laurels. Music and singing and songwriting are just too big a part of who she is. So, who knows, you could be right!
In your Bohemian Rhapsody reaction you said you want Angelina’s original music. She now has 11 original songs on CZcams.
Supernova DNA
All of them, Angelina is unique from the day she born up to today. I hope we get more years of this extraordinary human being
We are all unique from the day we're born, idolatry is unbecoming!
I honestly have respect her parents to raise a kid with so much passion to be at least somewhat normal. She is amazing.
Tara, this song answered your question. Nine year old Angelina created the arrangement for the cover of this song. Angelina is not just a prodigy she’s also a multi talented musical genius.
She listened to Jay's original and missed NOTHING! Great ears! I love her handing her musical "wishes" to the musical director at the beginning. This arrangement is stellar!
We angels love everything about Angelina. We love her at any age. She is the best of the best.
I think Angelina shows her vocal style best now that she is 17 all of the honing of her artistry came out in her 6 song EP ,each song is different but in a new genre that is just unbelievable great and they are her original sum of which she co produced check out now I'm a fool .as always I really enjoyed your reaction thumbs up to you 👍
Angelina absolutely captivated me when she was only 7. I'm not an expert on vocals at all, but this child had me enthralled. I could not wrap my mind around how someone so young could (or would even want to) sing songs written half a century or more before she was born with such understanding, such passion and such commitment. To me, I was seeing a miracle happening before my eyes. This conviction has not wavered over the years and now, as a grown, 6-foot tall beauty, she continues to impress and amaze me. Was she a prodigy? Absolutely! Her CZcams record proves this beyond a doubt. The fact that Republic Records (not a shabby outfit) has built a personal studio for her even before she has produced an album only confirms my belief. The best in the business - with the greatest head of hair in show business to boot.😎
I think I have heard every song from Angelina, and every one of them has moved me so much. She is going to be one the greatest stars there's ever been, but this particular song at the age of 9, needs to be studied by professionals for decades to come. I don't think there has ever been any vocal performance close to this by anyone else under the age of 10 before.
I love Angelina at all ages, through and through, I can’t pick a favourite, they are all my favourites! Great reaction. Thanks for explaining some technical details.
Finally, you stopped talking and listened instead of talking over her.
She gets it, period. And gives it back, exclamation point!
Absolutely phenomenal arrangement by our barefoot Princess , Angelina actually arranges this version herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s , Angelina is commanding the performance she is the boss, I’ve been following Angelina ever since she won Norway’s Got Talent at 8 years old, she is a musical genius,I attended Angelina’s live concerts in her hometown In Norway 🇳🇴 in the summer of 2022 her stage presence was stunning her live vocals phenomenal, Angelina is 17 now and she signed with Republic Records at 14 years old , Angelina’s uncle is her Manager and Angelina’s Grandma is her greatest influence, Grandma Mery introduced Angelina to Jazz and the old classic songs when Angelina was one and half years old, great reaction thanks 🙏
She's at once in a generation voice,, She's a phenomenon. I believe she's this generation's Elvis... I've been all in 6 years, And i'm so proud of her like she's my own daughter.... ✌️
Her hand motion when singing "you don't want me", makes me think she was working hard to get it right..
"11 MILLION VIEWS AND COUNTING" 😂😂😂😂 So, I don't think anyone can make a case against naming her a "Child Prodigy", this talent, this purpose for her being on the earth is a GIFT.. I agree it's what she is born to do; it's underscored by her heart, compassion (why she doesn't wear shoes while performing), it's a perfect God-given gift to a special child with a purpose. I'm so glad you FINALLY got to listening to this one!!!👏👏You should hear her at 8,9?? singing "My Funny Valentine" on her couch with just a mic, AH-MAY-ZING!! FIYAH🔥🔥
I love that she's so into the sax solo, just bobbing that little head digging what she was hearing❣ As for that one item you just HAD to point out, I give her kudos, it was done more like Eastern/Desert type of feel I think...you should give her at least a B+ for it 😉😉😉 BTW, I LOVE you hair, fits ya great!! See you of the flipside, right???????? PEACE
Age 7 all her performances on Norway got talent. Must watch.
Tara, I think it was Alan Papier from "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" Angelina Jordan Podcast that said first, "Someday Angelina will be studied in college-level music classes". You are the first vocal coach to say the same thing.
One of her best covers great reaction thank you 😃 wild bill
Hi Tara I am a 67 years young music expert for 50 years for all music style-genres and I listening and following Angelina since 2 years since Norways talent show wo she has won with 8 years young!! I have never see and hear such a unique, and special raspi ,mature, emotional, soulful, and old soul ✨️voice like Angelina's voice!! And her vibrato is unique the same how Whitney Houston has !!! For me is Angelina our Angel 😇 the best young female singer, artist ,vocalist, and songwriter in this time, world 🌍 and Generation !!! That is only my opinion!!!

Have a great Week and work and music time 👌👌love❤and peace ✌️☮️ and kindnesses 😊 from Switzerland 🇨🇭 🇨🇭🇨🇭 👣👸🎙🎷🎺🎸🎼👋💁♂️
Angelina is very involved in almost every arrangement of every song she sings, since she was still a little girl: the arrangement of this song is mostly hers. I like Angelina's voice, no matter her age. Of course: being 17 now she has a different sound (it would not be o.k. when that had not happened), but again: I like both. It is just a privilege that the team around her has given us all these video's on CZcams so we can see her entire musical journey from the (very) early days till the present time, including rehearsal videos: it really is a musical treasury. And I have lots of respect for them: they have been very successful in protecting Angelina for "hunters" from the media and the music industry. Yes, singing is her life and she is living for it... because it is her passion. But till now in her own pace and most of the time away from the big spotlights. I do not know if you have watched it already, but a good way to learn more about Angelina is a British CZcams documentary "Born to sing, Angelina Jordan, the early years 2006-2014". This girl could already sing before she could even talk.... really, it is something in her blood!!
I’ve listened to Angelina for 5 or 6 years, almost every day, and to answer your question-I cannot ever decide which Angelina I like best. She blew me away as a child singer, as a teenager, and now in the last month her completely original EP is staggeringly good. Like most Angels, I do not have a favorite Angelina song, but there is a cloud of a few dozen that I listen to over and over. I’m in my 70’s and have followed music all my life. Angelina is easily the best singer I’ve ever heard, and she’s that good across five or six genres.
What you heard today is one of the talents Angelina has: take an iconic song, rearrange it herself, pay homage to the original artist, and just kill the performance end of it. What should you listen to next? It doesn’t matter. Pick any title, any genre, any age.
Angelina - The living young legend! 😊😊👍👍
Thank you, that was fun to watch - and educational in the best way. I think whether Angelina is a prodigy is well and truly answered in this song (and numerous others). Hearing her sing «I Have Nothing» is impressive as well, but she has never been better than on her new EP with six brilliant - and quite different - originals!
I was having a blast anticipating your moment-tp-moment reactions to Ms. Jordan's vocal gymnastics...
_"do you think Angelina is a child prodigy?"_
Yes.
“Gobsmacked” says it all. The rest of your reaction is icing on the wonderful, moist, rich cake. As she states in one of her songs on the EP we are all made by design. She was designed to spread love and kindness through beautiful songs. That includes knowing what songs to cover , understanding the lyrics and how the arrange and or revise the song to convey they story. That includes the best vocal style, with the proper emotions for us to feel it in our hearts and souls. Then there is her ability to write and convey her originals in a way that listening to them, for those listening to her with open mind and heart, is fills our heart with the love from hers and nourishes our souls, leaving us a better person. One of the best ways we can honor her is by paying it forward. She is her at a time when the world needs the love and healing. ❤❤❤
You got it. The more you see of her confirms it over and over. She IS the voice of our generation.
She is absolutely a vocal prodigy who has been surrounded with the perfect family to help her along her journey.
Yes, I absolutely love the way she sings this, totally awesome 🔥 I absolutely love both ❤️🔥
As incredible as Angelina has shown herself to be as a singer from a very early age, no other performance has been as shocking as this performance IMO
Definitely a prodigy. Not just the vocal equipment, the style and emotion
Thank you Tara great reaction in answer to your questions what ever the definition is for the greatest artist ever, and it is not possible to prefer AJ at one age over another but it seems possible to love her more and more and for her to have taken up residence in my heart.💗👣
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
I love almost anything she sings, and some of her performances have brought me to tears many times or led me to play them hundreds of times over the years! But having said that, this Cover of I put a spell on you is maybe the most spectacular thing she has ever done. Not only for her age, but by itself. I've seen and heard many versions, like the original from Screaming Jay Hawkins, Nina Simone, Bette Midler in the movie, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more, but none of them is as impressive as this little lioness! Her dedication and expression is stellar! I never get bored by seeing the video again! She "knows" Soul and the Blues! Masterclass!
Thanks Tara for a great reaction! I’ve followed her since she was little, and must say she’s very special. It’s something about her voice, you got drawn into her singing, the world stops. She’s a fantastic songwriter and storyteller. I love anything she sings, cause she has done and do so many genres. It’s all about her magical soulful voice! Please look up her long catalog of covers and original, then you know what I mean. 👌💫💎❤️
As a fan, I am astounded by her ability to absorb the techniques of others. You can find her interpretations of other singers (Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, etc.) and she does an masterful job. Probably the only credible Dinah Washington attempt I have ever heard. She is also great on her own, in her own voice, as well. This gives her the ability to recall the styles of masters at will.
I love all of Angelina Jordan from her earliest forays into a studio until now at age 17 with a six-song EP announcing her first album of all original music. The rest is due to drop in the Fall, apparently. She is in Norway right now for a project. By the time she is 18 (by mid January 2024), she'll be getting ready to tour with that new album. You pointed out her foot size---I believe those feet presaged her towering height, which only adds to her already commanding presence. By the way, I love you in your pink suit in front of the white "grand." Pleasing contrast and classy look. Thank you for this precise reaction and recognition of the greatness witnessed in this video. Grandma Ellen, out.
I think the very first kids can learn from her is - patience. Her awareness of tempo is just wow.
Shortly before she turned seven, Angelina was already getting a handle on her low register and vibrato (her "I, I who have nothing" performance in her music school studio). In her NGT performances at 7 and 8 she was still experimenting but here she is REALLY getting there. In her "Feeling Good" live performance at 10 she has it down pat. She never had to learn this, what she does is because she FEELS it and acts upon it! Call it instinct or what you will, she always manages to make any song she performs even more special than the original - and she is instrumental in arranging it all herself.
Angelina's voice is just so beautiful! I agree to that, she is the mordern day Amy Weinhouse.
Surpassed AW when she was 10. Nothing like AW.
I absolutely loved the timing of your question: Who thinks Angelina is, like a vocal prodigy? (As we watched, we knew the answer was just seconds away.) I’m so grateful to watch you discover this recording!
