Angelina often moves her attention to her backup musicians during breaks in the lyrics. I think it’s a sign of respect.
Angelina's song choices for this competition were so unconventional. I think that was part of what amazed the judges. They wouldn't expect a little 7-8 y/o girl to select old jazz standards and then sing them with so much emotion and perception. I really enjoy your reactions and look forward to more.
People are amazed by her vocals and interpretation, but she is more than that . She can play piano, she can compose, she can recompose songs , she can give directions to an orchestra. She is a musical genius! And she is still only 14 years old!
Henning Mathiassen You can add playing flute.
When I hear this song, what comes to my mind is "regret". You can hear the regret dripping from every syllable and phrase as she sings.
I swear that when she sings the word "shiver" in Bohemian Rhapsody, she puts an extra tremor in her vibrato. Followed immediately by an extra vocal fry on "Body's aching all the time" to convey pain. She's so smart.
You really understand what Angelina is all about, I really appreciate that, great reaction!!
Thank you 😊
Angelina's interpretations always make me think, this is how the song is supposed to be sung. She has her own style, but it never sounds forced or arbitrary or off in any way. It is true to the essence of the song. The other thing I want to comment on is the thing that commenters write long essays about but can never quite describe, the Angelina voice itself. It has an ineffable quality about it that just grabs you. The way her vocal chords vibrate and how she forms the sounds as they come out is so haunting and melodic it just pulls you right in. And we're happily hooked :)
You are the first reactor who mention that she binds the words „bang bang“ and „you“ together.
It sounds there is a pause in between but she just brings the „nnn“ down quickly and started the „you“ very quietly and brings it up. Bring you up. Help you up. The opposite of shoot you down. She is hidding lyrics in her voice here in my opinion. With 8!
It is so so hard to imagine that a brand new 8 year old can have the musical intelligence that Angelina has here. But there it is, in spades. Incomprehensible. As we go forward I suspect Angelina will do things that none of us can understand analytically, because nobody has even considered it before. Perhaps a bit like Mozart did. Maybe she already is :-)
Zom Bie 7 year old.
@@vanjanyrudhalvorsen6913 The NGT recording of Bang Bang was on 2014-04-11 which makes her 8 years old by two months.
Lost count how many times I've watched A.J. do this performance, her voice is unique and she draws you in to listen
Thanks you come back to Angelina. You have a good eye to her Attention to the musician. She always use the rehearsals before to train the musicians to fit the way she wants to sing. It's a part of her wonderful creation ability.
Her vibrato is already evident at such a young age. In some performances, you will notice that she sort of signals to a musician. She also gives notes to the musical director, possibly on how she would like a particular arrangement done. That's one way she makes covers her own.
I might be wrong but I think this is the first song that she directed the arrangement, because it is slowed down to fit her as many other songs after this one have been also, it’s like her signature.
That alone is what makes her a prodigy, yes her voice is phenomenal, but it’s her command over her artistry which is extraordinary, especially given the fact she has been doing it since she was 7 of 8 years old.
As someone who cannot carry a tune in a bucket, I enjoy being shown all the details that I haven't picked up on before.
6.49 the vibrato on "bells" and the way she drag the "sang" and "rang" JUST PERFECT
Her breath control is incredible, and apparently effortless. I'm noticing that more and more as I watch her perform. I think her arrangements take advantage of that skill, and it's part of what helps her renditions rise above the rest. One thing I noticed In the NGT performances is her willingness to start singing within seconds not reaching the podium. It may be something she does to cope with nerves, but I don't think I've ever seen her nervous on stage.
So glad to see you back. Great reaction. Please please please do more reaction of Angelina Jordan,
as you go on you will experience, amazement, happiness, tears, goosebumps and so much more. Thanks again. : )
She's definitely 8 here. A bit of history: This song was written by Sonny Bono (1966) for his then wife Cher. She had a hit that year with a more upbeat version accompanied by a band. Later that year it was covered by Nancy Sinatra. She slowed it down and was accompanied by just a guitar, and she had an even bigger hit. Angelina is covering Nancy's version, albeit a much shorter rendition (time restrictions on performances). I believe that after this performance in the semi's, the contest was over. She went on to garner almost half of all the votes to win the show by a landslide. It was after this performance that it was obvious she was destined for stardom. Thanks for another great reaction Josh, to the fabulous Angelina. 😊💕
Thank you so much for pointing out the special elements that Angelina intentionally executed in this performance. She is such a joy to watch and listen to. And your reviews are insightful and thoughtful.
I really like it when the reactor knows what they are talking about and give some insight to what you’re hearing. I really like this rendition, and helped hear why it sounds so great. Thanks for this.
🙏🙏👍👍💙💙 u guessed right she was directing and she does it all the time even at this age which is beyond amazing but no surprise because this is angelina
Incredible musicianship!
One cannot learn this level of talent. She is an old soul and I’m so glad I found her and I’m a grandma.
that was a very good reaction. I really appreciate the lyric and all the little things in her performance that you pointed out. especially her eye communication with her accompanying musician. I believe she did that also in her next performance Summertime in this same NGT competition. she was already a pro at this age.
Beautiful performance
Great reaction Thank you
Amazing 🥰🥰
You will notice that there is a common denominator when Angelina re-arranges a song and that is she has a proclivity toward slowing the tempo down. Personally, I think her intuition to do so is impeccable. There is another positive aspect of Angelina’s slowing the tempo down and that is I pay greater attention to the lyrics. More often than not I tend to focus on the melody of songs. With Angelina I listen to the lyrics as well as the melody when she sings.
The progress she makes from episode 2 to here is so remarkable.
Yes, you are right when you speculate that she has been involved with the arrangement and stage show. There's a video of her in a pre performance meeting with the musicians in this competition where she tries to get her ideas acknowledged. She has some difficulties getting heard by the musicians however (I mean no disrespect to those guys, I mean at this point she was a totally unknown 7 year old girl with a single front tooth, and they are studio pros after all) and you can see her getting a bit frustrated with them... LOL! Just a couple of years later though she is known by musicians as "The Boss". A very, very respectful and humble boss of course (it's Angelina we are talking about after all) but she knows what she wants. You can actually see her at the tender age of 9 giving the leader of the jazz band that plays on her "I put a spell on you" video a note with her "wishes" as she calls them. (then you see the band leader smile at that humble phrasing)... She is 14 now, I simply can't fathom how good she will be when she 24... Her future is so bright she's gonna have to start wearing shades soon...lol!

@@akersjon278 Small correction: those rehearsals were after she won NGT, so she was already around 8½ (you can tell from her front teeth :). Also, to anyone reading this: in the comments of the "Summertime" rehearsal video, you can find at least one translation of some of the things being said. At one point, she names the exact note she wants the trumpet player to play (A-sharp).
@@DonaldLancon Oh ok, didn't know that it was shot after NGT, I was misinformed about that then. They do however still show that Angelina already at very young age was very involved in the structure of her performances. And that was the salient point I was trying to make with my comment. But thank you for that correction of the timeline, I don't like posting inaccurate information about AJ if I can help it.
Angelina does the same thing with the trumpeter on her final performance on Norske Talented entitled 'Summertime".
Her original shield is a song thanking her mom for shielding her from the industry
Josh I agree that Angelina looking over at the guitarist is evidence that she wants her performance to be as good as it can be. Before singing Gloomy Sunday she motions off stage, apparently for the person in charge of starting the music to begin (if anyone knows otherwise please let me know). You can look for another example in your next reaction for Summertime.
Off course she won the NGT!
If this isn't talent, I don't know what is...
Lovely voice, and the sweetest soul...
Great reaction SD....she knows exactly what she is doing at 8 years old....simply amazing. Thanks for pointing out some of the little nuances this little genius incorporates into her interpretation of songs.
I hope you continue your Angelina (and DImash) reactions!
beautiful and attentive reaction, SingerDad, it's incredible in fact that already at the age of 8 she is able to read the composition, adapt it to her interpretation and connect with the musician who accompanies she... it's magic ❤️
In the channel of the grandmother, Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz, there are some videos of her interacting with the musicians before the performances, and already at that age it's seen that she has clear ideas about what she wants to achieve
You will see videos with her and a guitar and yes they watch each other to sync up the performance.
Just a heads-up going into her "Summertime" performance: she is basing her version on the recording by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong on their 1958 album _Porgy & Bess_ (which you can tell by one specific line she sings off-mic at one point in the song: look for it).
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks for another excellent Angelina reaction Josh. Good luck with getting your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody posted, I would really enjoy seeing that one.
Omer Bhatti, one of the judges, in an interview later on recalled that after her first audition, Angelina was in full control of what she wanted to do. She was giving instructions to the musicians and people on the set of how she wanted the songs to be presented and sound. He continued to say, we just sat back and watched.
Angelina will keep amazing you every time you hear her.
Thank you for this reaction video and for your insights.
David Actually, it was after her first audition that the judges were discussing whether she was merely a talented mimic. I t was later during rehearsal, as you wrote, that they witnessed how she was issuing instructions to the guitarist and was in full control of the stage. That's when they realized she was the real deal.
@@103mrg in fact, as I recall, it was the rehearsals for this very song, and the interaction between Angelina and the guitarist he was talking about ... I might be mistaking though since it was some time ago and my memory, even if it's vast, has become slightly obscured
Even though this was the semifinals, The Judges, the Contestants, and the audiences, both studio and at home all knew the contest was over and they were just going through the motions until she was crowned in the finals the next week.
I think Angelina came out of the maternity room already singing
Part of Angelina’s way of making songs her own is the way she begins. As in Bang, Bang, Bohemian Rhapsody, Yellow Brick Road, and many others, her opening is quiet and understated, drawing you in so that you’re focusing on her voice. You’re leaning in, mentally, to hear the quiet low vocal, setting the stage for the rest of the performance. Just like her later performances on AGT, she has the audience silent and mesmerized. You don’t want to miss a thing. You don’t want to applaud during Bang, Bang because the mood she sets just rivets you’re attention.
This song threw me over the edge, even though I was impressed earlier. I liked it when Cher and Nancy Sinatra did it, but if you had only the audio of all three performances, Angelina’s captures the melancholy perfectly. In my mind, eight year old Angelina outsings both of them. I’ve never heard any singer remotely as good as Angelina across so many genres. She’s once in a lifetime.
Another wonderful reaction to this beautiful performance by little Angelina.
Regarding Bohemian Rapsody you can always react to her "studio" version that she did because of the blocking problems of the AGT performance czcams.com/video/MS2XdfgIti0/video.html
It's not 100pct like the live one (we all know Angelina won't sing the same song twice exactly in the same manner) but it's pretty close 😉
Angelina Jordan Astar; 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online and brought her worldwide press coverage at the age of 7.She went on to win the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl and giving her shoes to her. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
Angelina and her God given talent and natural love of music is unstoppable. Akersjon 278's reply with videos of Angelina rehearsals is quite telling of that talent IMHO. Thanks 278. Josh, your continued reactions to Angelina will be patiently awaited. Thumbs up sir.
"Everything she does is thought out and in line with her interpretation of the song." Great observation. And she's 8 years old here. That's what so astonishing (beyond her incredible vocal control). To reinforce your point about AJ syncing with the guitarist, In a follow up interview one of the judges mentions that the panel knew AJ was truly brilliant during a rehearsal, when she gave detailed instructions to the guitarist about exactly how she wanted him to accompany her.
This song actually wasn't originally by Nancy Sinatra but by Cher who hit #2 with the original song. Nancy's version was never an official single but got a huge push from being a cult favorite when it was included in the Kill Bill Soundtrack. Sonny Bono wrote the song for Cher after she told him about her first broken heart. It seems a little boy Cher played cowboys with as a little girl, and dreamed of marrying one day as little girls sometimes do, just moved on to other friends and left her alone with a broken heart.
Thank you Josh for that awesome reaction & nice little break down. I do hope you buy her new CD when it comes out. (she was 8 here) & you nailed it on the head with your comments. Until next Angie Reaction.
Great reaction 💕 Great new word ”Angelinized” 🙏
Thank you!! It just came to me. :-)
Angelina Jordan é uma cantora diferenciada com uma linda voz e única. Gosto do estilo dela. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
She does all her own arrangements.
Someone tell me of another version as good as this. Even at this age.🌺
Review LOVIN YOU Live by Angelina! You'll be amazed
She is 7 years old here. She turned 8 during the show I believe.
Witaj Josh! Bardzo dziękuję za kolejną reakcję na wykonanie Angeliny Jordan! Bardzo się cieszę, że znalazłeś czas na reakcje również dla niej. Ze względu na wiek jest dla mnie 8 cudem świata. Jej głos, interpretacje znanych utworów wybitnych piosenkarzy, zwłaszcza jazzowych, powala na kolana! Nie mogę się doczekać Twojej reakcji na utwór "I put a spell on you" (film w wersji czarno-białej). W zasadzie każdego jej wykonania można słuchać bez końca i w każdym zachwyca, jednak w tym utworze, myślę, że każdy słuchający przeciera oczy z niedowierzaniem, że wykonuje go 7-letnie dziecko. Temperament, rewelacyjna interpretacja, jak na ten wiek, wywołuje niesamowicie pozytywny szok, wręcz euforię podziwu dla talentu! Bardzo proszę Josh o tę reakcję!!! Serdecznie pozdrawiam! Maria z Polski
Maria Angelina had just turned 9 when she recorded I Put a Spell.
103mrg Jeśli to prawda, to przepraszam za błąd. W jakimś filmiku na CZcams z reakcją na ten utwór w wykonaniu Angeliny powiedziano, że ma 7 lat. Dlatego w swoim komentarzu podałam taki wiek. Nie zdawałam sobie sprawy, że może to być błędna informacja. Dziękuję za sprostowanie. Pozdrawiam!
Kocham tą dziewczynę.
Cieszę się , że urodziłam się w czasach kiedy mogę śledzić jej karierę.
She is the super Star.
Myślę, że kiedyś zrobią o niej film i bardzo chciałabym tego doczekać.
She is amazing- jestem od niej i jej głosu uzależniona .
O my gosh co ona z nami słuchaczami wyprawia.
Pozdrawiam z USA. ❤
Josh Bang bang was originally recorded by Cher (Sonny wrote it).
Thanks for the reminder. I did find this in my research ahead of time but neglected to mention it in my reaction.

Nice sensitivity in your analysis. You are among those who do it best. Thx. An unconditional French fan
The church bells rang for her alone suggests she waited at the church alone, he left her waiting at the altar. Note how Angelia is in white with flowers on her head, to suggest the weding idea. She always dresses appropriately to her songs.
Queen posted on her social media how happy they were wonderful job you did I think they Copyrighted it
keep on doing Angelina Jordan reaction and I will surely subscribe to your channel and thank you SingerDad Reacts. Smile.
I think if I remember correctly the original was by Sonny and Cher and Sonny wrote it, although both versions were playing on the radio at the same time.
Sonny wrote this for Cher, so I would assume it was about their breakup.
Contest was over halfway through that song!!!!
👍👍😍😍👍👍
Contest over.
She is 8 here. There has been some uncertainty about NGT filming dates, but those are now known:
2013-11-24 (7y) Gloomy Sunday
2014-02-07 (8y) I'm a Fool to Want You
2014-04-11 (8y) Bang Bang
2014-05-23 (8y) Summertime
Than the only thing that puzzles me (not a big deal) is why she said at AGT that she won NGT at the age of seven???
@@erikcouvret Maybe she was a bit nervous during interview (singing for Simon was her dream after all) and so accidentally said seven, as she was seven when starting NGT, but not when she won.
@@ajplaylistsbyfan haha, I can live with that! It's still crazy good how she sang Bang, bang and Summertime at the age of 8! 😉
@@erikcouvret Maybe AGT told her to say that so that Heidi could show her math scill. You know 7+6 =13
@@daghugowilhelmsen5660 I'd rather not think too much about what 'Miss Heidi' likes to show! 😉
How can someone at her age, have a unique style, kids at that age are either mimic or copy other singers, and most sing either disney songs or light pop. Even if introduced to jazz at a very young age, when is the time to create a unique and intricate style, does it just come out of the ether?
She was born with a love for music. Some children are. She was just given way more gifts and soul in this area than pretty much anyone.
You mention Angelina looks at the guitarist to sync something. In the next song she looks over at the trumpeter, and I feel fairly confident she is not happy with something he did.
In my opinion, while Nancy Sinatra sings that song beautifully, her vocal texture doesn't possess the vibrational sadness, gravity and painful hurt that Angelina inherently uses at will.
Therefore, what distinguishes her from other vocalists is her natural aptitute to convey emotions.
It is mostly by the use of her innate gift of emotional connection with the listener that she is, in her own right, more than a talented singer: she is a vocal artist.
And her artistic instinct and the pure logic explain why she adapts part of the original lyrics: to convey that emotional bound, to avoid the obvious anachronism and to preserve the credibility of the story.
When she sings "chasing birds around", these three words illuminate our mental screen with images carrying part of our childhood plays.
What you describe, Josh, as her own style - precisely, here, the lingering of certain sounds - is what I understand to be the particular vibrational frequency of her vocal music.
Are we both talking about the same natural quality of her vocals?
Thank you so much!

Subscribing 🤗
Thank you very much.
Again ...Love the perspective.
Strange this debate about her age though. She herself said that she won the competition at age 7....so if she is performing here at said competition which happens within one year then she would be 7 wouldn't she?

Awesome reaction, the more people know about music and singing, the more the appreciate this little genius. You are spot on with regards to her role in the arrangement, and you will be amazed and amused by this little video czcams.com/video/BSm-oMgVCo8/video.html shot by her grandma when they worked on the arrangement for Summertime (prior to the 2014 Norway got Talent) performance. No question who is the boss :)
Cheer her husband wrote this song for her she performed on her second album I believe the righteous brothers covered it then Nancy Sinatra did a cover cover of it
What she did was just made is the Guitar alone. On that Bass-line quivering, just brought out emotions. Sonny n Cheri . Nancy Sinatra, and anyone else, had too much going on behind them. And theirs were at a faster pace
This song was originally sung by Cher, not Nancy Sinatra.
