- This Angelina Jordan reaction is genuinely my first time ever seeing this performance of "I Put A Spell On You". Before this I'd only seen Angelina Jordan's live performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent. Even knowing that she had a good singing voice as a teenage, I wasn't really ready for the deepness of her voice here. My reaction says it all really.

When I do my reaction videos I don't press pause because I don't want to interrupt the natural flow of the music as it was originally intended by the artist. I try to vocalise my thoughts in real time as I listen to the song, and then summarise my reaction afterwards.

Please do recommend songs or other artists for me to checkout in future by commenting on this video! I'm constantly on the lookout for great new music and things I've never heard before.

Easily the greatest performance ever by a 9 year old.
Barely 9 and does her own arrangements. Pure Genius.
It would be in the running for the greatest performance by any human being, regardless of age 🤔😉
@@scottwatson9453 Your over embellishment is ruining the OP
@@AuspTheAwesome I don't think it's an over embellishment at all.. Its just a fact in my opinion.
@@AuspTheAwesome Over embellishment? When it comes to AJ, Nothing is over embellishment.
She arranges her own music!! At the start of this vid you see her handing a note you a man. This note show changes she'd like the band to play!!
At 9 yrs old!! Mind blown!!! She's quite a prodigy in music, intsraments and language, of course, as well as singing!!! She was incredible then and she's so extraordinary now!!!
I'll always enjoy the disbelief and confusion of professionals attempting to make sense of Angelina's vocal skills.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s been said that she never gets nervous when she performs. She’s been listening to jazz at the age of. 1 1/ 2 with her grandma. Check out - WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES when she sang in front of thousands of people after she won NORWAY’S GOT TALENT🌀
She is one of the 3 kings singers of the Era with Marcelito and the Super King Dimash ..keep reacting !!
Another thing that's so amazing about Angelina, apart from what you noticed, is the emotion in her singing. There are more child prodigies that can hit the notes and have beautiful voices, but what their singing often lacks is emotion and texture. Not so with Angelina Jordan.
9 years old she has already sung all over the world. It also demonstrates not to discount her early performances. Next try we years old IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU also FEELING GOOD. ...then circle back to her winning performances on Norways Got Talent. Auditioned age 7
Angelina has come into the lives of many just when we need it. Absolutely love her and can only say to you, you ain't seen nothing yet. This little gal has been very prolific in ten years and you owe it to yourself to experience every note.
Now you've asked for something new. Voice of Baceprot will stun you. It's a power trio that you would never imagine.
Her foundation is in jazz and blues. She arranged this song from the 1956 original by Screamin Jay Hawkins. She took his more theatrical version and made it into a more jazzy piece. She loves to do these retro songs by many of the jazz and blues greats of history, often as a tribute to them.
You really do not undersand her talent until you explore the fact that she wrote this arrangement. One would expect that she would have covered the most famous version of the song by Nina Simone.. She went back to the original version by Screamin' Jay, borrowed the attitude and various elements, , and then reinterpreted it so that it is somewhat of a cross between Niina Simone's version and the original by Sceamin Jay. She wrote a stunning arrangement at 9 freakin' years old. Please, someone, , find me an eample. of another Child singer who was capable of doing something this sophisticated at 9.
Most definitely , that's her forte , I love and adore her !
If you want to see her first studio try out look up Angelina Jordan singing "I WHO HAVE NOTHING" ,,,,,, this was her first time in a studio and first take at 6 years old. Watch close because she is 6 and gets excited like a child even though she sounds like a grown woman
9 years old and standing with the greats, that's the barefoot angel.
You liked her low notes huh? oh boy you're in for a treat!! she has performance where she takes you to the bottom of the sea.
You are the very FIRST AND ONLY reactor so far to acknowledge the quality of the musicians playing with her!!!!!!
She's been awesome since she was at least 7!!
"Too young to have a good voice" Did we hear that from you at the start? Very good reaction. Thanks for hearing Angelina.
Listen to her sing Gloomy Sunday shes even younger.
Angelina is an absolute genius. So is Marcin Patrzałek. I can listen to any of them for hours...
Timing always on the money...the phrasing, phrasing, phrasing...
Always makes me feel like no one told her she's not supposed to be able to do that, so she just does.
As you can tell from the remarks you are a recent convert to AJ's charismatic performances. Welcome to the rabbit hole her performances only get better.
Angelina herself wrote the arrangement of this song .. for herself and the band members. She also arranged her version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Most of her covers are re-arranged by her.
Putting a spell on us all !!!
I've heard her do so much in covers and her own material that I can't see you not finding something to enjoy.
Someone already must have told you that she won Norway's got talent at 7 years old. She sang like Billy Holliday, the song Gloomy Sunday. In the 50's Rick Nelson put that song on one of his albums. That took some of Rick's fan by surprise because it was originally written as "The Hungarian Suicide Song". I was surprised that Angelina's parents let her sing it, because when translated into English both Billie and Rick sang it word for word. Rick Nelson was a lot easier to understand to understand the words. It's really creepy. The Judges asked Angelina if she knew what the song was about. Her answer was Gloomy Sunday? The judges were crying.
Very fju in this wold is born whit a talent to sing..😎💟
To answer one of your questions-yes, she listened to jazz and blues as a very young child, but her nickname of the girl with a thousand voices is only a slight exaggeration. She sings five or six genres as authentically as this one. And, yes again, both songs you heard were Angelina’s own arrangements-even this at nine. Her voice now is phenomenal, mesmerizing, and unique.
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina 9 yo. Look at her! She controls the entire recording. She has the power and ability to carry this out. The fact that she then has an outstanding fantastic voice and theatrical body language only makes everything even better. The musicians are also amazingly good. They give everything to complete this masterpiece! This little Norwegian girl reads the English lyrics while singing! She is from Norway and they speak Norwegian there. English is Angelina's 3rd language! Already at 5-6 years old, she understands exactly what is meant in the lyrics! Incredible!
A genius at work. I am so happy for everything she gives me. / a Swedish Viking.
perfection again at 9!
This is her own arrangement, based on the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Angelina has an ability to bring emotional maturity to her performances. Amazing!
Looking forward to your journey! Please please please do more Angelina Jordan reactions. She is coming out with an album this year and there are legions of fans including myself waiting breathlessly to hear it. I recommend starting with her Norway's Got Talent debut which went viral. See her live at Jazz festivals (many videos), listen to the mind blowing " I'm Holding Out For You."
I love you genius musician AJ..
New Subscriber for Angelina
When yu hear this , yu have to believe in Reincarnation. This soul came into this world with a past life talent . No doubt about it!!!! She’s an old soul. Absolutely unbelievable!!
Angelina Jordan. Definitely a PRODIGY!!!!
You should do her cover of
FLY ME TO THE MOON
on the view
Angelina has been singing at a World 🌎 Class level since she was 8 yrs old and all around the world 🌎 I might add
Not only later in life, but Angelina did her own arrangement of this cover, which is altered and reinterpreted so much it almost qualifies as an original.
It explains why the musicians nick name for Angelina was "The Boss".
Angelina gave it her all. Yet it looks so easy when she does it! The guys in the band were also very professional. They really seemed to enjoy playing for Angelina. They have probably never before, been shown this much on CZcams.
I’m pretty sure all the musicians knew of Angelina before this production was made. The trumpet player was her trumpet player on her performance at Norway’s Got Talent. You can see a smirk on the face of the Bass player, he knows what’s about to happen!
Good reaction. I hope you do more Angelina Jordan.
AWESOME....wow......super reaction.
Too young to have a great voice......remember you said that. What were you doing when you were 9 years old?
Hola!! Hello! She created this versión, she wrote this ...( No escribo muy bien en tu inglés perdón)!
Saludos desde Argentina!!!
Love your reaction and comments. You just had the pleasure of witnessing what is considered by many to be the finest vocal performance ever recorded by a 9-year-old! Enough said!
Just a quick note to please be careful of language in your videos as there are some younger people that watch them. Doesn't bother me personally but does potentially bother others. Thank you.
Try I am Still Holding out for You age 10.
Great job sir!
She gets it, period.
Angelina started doing her own arrangements when she was 8 including this one
This sweet angel is an old soul. She's worked hard for this!
she performed i am feeling good at 10 on stage.
"Hang on, I'm going to do a hard cut while I get this word"
That is CZcams editing excellence.
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.
Thanks for another wonderful reaction, Steve. 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 sung by great singers. 💛🧡❤
Angelina is the greatest talent on the planet. Enjoy the ride, and she will continue to thrill your senses. Best wishes and enjoy the 200 covers, and her original songs. 😊
Great analysis. Look forward to what's next on your AJ journey.
Million miles, her first release from republic, would be an excellent choice to hear her original music. Live in studio is the best vocal version. It was penned in tribute to her recently passed grandfather, and is a gift to all those who have lost
I agree that video is my favorite, but the sheer power of her live in concert last summer performance tears me up
My fellow Angels have filled you in on Angelina’s arraignment abilities, and her piano and guitar playing and her emotional interpretation skills and her vocal expertise and oh heck, just her all around musical genius! And if that ain’t enough there humanitarian efforts raising millions for children around the world.
There is so much to discover about this young lady and I would like you to lock yourself in a room for a solid couple of weeks just listening to and watching all of Angelina’s performances and interviews. After over three years I still find a new little gem from her now and then. I would strongly suggest her live on TV video of Feeling Good with a a fantastic back up band. I’ve watched many versions of her singing this song and every one is unbelievable, but the band just nudges this one a bit more for me.
You should see her when she was 6 years old in the studio singing I Who Have Nothing like Tom Jones in the sixties. Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
Since you were impressed with Angelina at age 9, I suggest you go back to see the performance that started it all: Her opening audition for Norway’s Got Talkent, Angelina at age 7 singing “Gloomy Sunday”.
Great comments..you are starting to understand the capabilities of our sweet little powerhouse Angelina! It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and maybe throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers). This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

She rewrote the lyrics, arranged it and also Hand wrote her "wishes" for the band and handed it to the band director in the beginning ,,, by the end of the song the band loved her and called her the boss. She would ask for things from the band members and never demanded anything and they said she was so humble and professional. Many of them have gone on to more songs with her
By the end of the session the band referred to her as "the boss".
Good work. Very insightful
Good reaction and analysis. Plus, I will never tire of people's first reaction to this performance. Will stick around for more!
Fierce Masterpiece! Fearless, timeless and ageless. Wonderful ❣️
There you go Gary.. just use other's comments to accurately refer to Angelina's talented rendition here 😂😂
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - 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 the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: czcams.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/video.html
Sorry your loss for words is a typical response when talking about AJ ...I refer to as the "AJ affect" its where reality gets blurred and you cant describe it. Follow the Angeles for more amazement.
Great reaction!! Please react to «I’m still holding out for you» by Angelina Jordan. Shes 10 in that one, doing a demo on the song for the artist who wrote the song. It was never ment to get released but was leaked, and is one of my all time favourites by her😍
Shes an Angel 🙏
Thank you for that nice reaction Steve to 9 Angie. Not to long after that she did the "Fly me to the moon" that her grandma Mery filmed. Which she has covered more than any other cover and yet they're all slightly different. Even Quincy Jones asked her to open for his 85th birthday concert in London in 2018 when she was 12. ❤👍
Oops, I just requested this song on one of your other videos but you already did it. Thanks for the reaction. Angelina is incredible.
The original song is from Screaming Jay Hawkins. Jazz is her first love. Screaming Jay, Billie Holliday Louis Armstrong are some of her favorites. She has covered a lot of their songs. She mostly did Billie Holliday when she was on Norways Got Talent. If you want to really be blown away, check out her singing "I who have nothing" when she was 6 yrs old.
Amazing, impressive and mature. She has music in her blood, that's for sure.
And it's about time you gave a reaction to this song : ) I couldn't wait to see what effect it would have on you.
And it was definitely worth the wait.
Great reaction
what amazes me about such channels - Angelina actually has a talent , this guy just comments on her talent.... yet how he gets 4.72K subscribers
Thank you for featuring Angelina again, I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on CZcams, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below,
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted.
(g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song.
(h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time.
(i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word
(j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
(k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying.
(l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella!
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
She has done her own arrangements from the beginning, even before her Norway’s Got Talent performances, this is all her, and you are right, this confirms her status as a prodigy!
I get Janis Joplin vibes, even the bare feet were there. Touch of Nina Simone in the song, too. I know Angelina's older now but I've only seen this so far.
I hope she's going the Joplin-Simone route because with her voice she'll slay it. I'm a guitar nut, I love rock, I love metal and blues but I think that voice could revive that female vocal sound we don't have any more. Imagine a big orchestra sound, blues guitar and that voice.
If you really want your mind blown, check her out jamming with a few of the same musicians. Same age and singing "Portrait of a child," originally "Portrait of a man" by Screaming Jay Hawkin.

Thank you Steve for this reaction and analysis. It would be interesting to watch one of her original songs and especially "Million miles" (the 1st released since she signed with Republic Records - when she was 14 yo). To stay on the covers and to see the evolution of her voice, you should watch "Suspicious Minds"( 2022) wish is simply ... breathtaking. Like "Bohemian Rapsody", Angelina chose an iconic song from a legendary singer and made it her own. Thanks again for this new sharing. Gilles from ... France 🖐️sorry for my bad english 🥴
She did this arrangement also.
Hi Steve, please react to Angelina Jordan '' 7th Heaven and Million Miles '' Thank You
Look out the Screaming J Hawkins version - ther original... its on youtube
Your comment about "nice piano" is interesting. The note you see Angelina hand the conductor at the start of the video, is her handing over her instructions on how she wanted the piano part to be played.
It might help to clarify in the video description that this reaction was originally recorded in December 2021.
that is her band her studio in her home.
“9 year olds can’t sing great” … Angelina …. Ok say less 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💙😇💙
Why do these reactions and reactor look familiar? Anyone? Steve?
Just subscribed. That didn't come close to how much lower she can go. Check out 'Born to die" or "How great Thou Art"
And “ You Make Me Feel So Young”
🖒😎
Watch her singing I who have nothing at age six.
Can you react to I'd rather go blind and Born to Die, both at the age of 12. 🇧🇻
Seems you uploaded a multitude of reaction videos on a couple days. When was this recorded? Are you planning more?
Is this a re-upload? I think I've seen this before? 🤔
You will love her singing I'd rather go blind at 13 I think
What inspires a 9 yo girl to cover Screamin' J Hawkins, "Put a spell on you"?
Little known is Hawkins background as a classically trained opera singer turned to blues and jazz. While having a great voice and doing some creative songs, Hawkins never quite rose to equal his contemporaries. Hawkins Spell morphed to "shock theatrics" and changed his fortunes. “Screaming" J went on to perform domestically and internationally. His "Spell" creation is rated as one of 500 songs that changed R & R. If you haven't heard it here is the link (Original Spell version; lyrics only czcams.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/video.html )
AJ paid homage to Hawkins by doing a black and white film representation, typical of the era. She is shown holding the lit votive candle , then goes on to produce her very strong, emotionally charged arrangement of "Spell". I have never seen a (homage) cover presented with that this kind of "authenticity" and respect to the original. AJ resurrected Hawkins as she resurrected many songs from other 40's, 50's & 60's jazz greats. Screaming J is smiling down upon AJ.
AJ's " Spell " cover version is EPIC , will stand the test of time, and rate among the best covers made of “Spell”. AJ should never repeat that version ... let it stand alone for what it is, forever. We can all look forward to music's future knowing that the bar of excellence is raised. Thank you AJ for what and who you are.
"Too young to have a great voice..." Nah, this is Angelina :=) She's had it down since she was 7!
🔥🔥🚒👩🚒👩🚒🔥🔥🧯🧯
she did gloomy sunday age 7 on norways got talent which she won
When she turns 30 she'll still be "too young" to have that voice. lol.
