Now... THIS was the most ANIMATED, INVOLVED, reaction I've see to this Angelina Top Fan Favorite, you're off the hook getting into it ... This is what makes Angelina the most talented, unique vocal genius that she is... She's all in, and you'll see it's just what she she does... She will sing from her heart and the intended target is us, and it's a direct hit right to our hearts...EVERY TIME.. And I can't count how many times I've watched, but watching her bop her head to each note of that 🎷 solo just shows you she is FEELING better she's SINGING.... oh my, all I can say is Fasten Your Seatbelt cuz you're in for one crazy, wild, endearing, amazing, unbelievable journey to a place where ONLY ANGELINA can take you...

Just wanted to let you know I was left speechless in all my years I have never seen anything like her and I'm 72 brought tears to my eyes. Loved your post
I have listened to this performance a thousand times and thought it was extraordinary however, your reaction to this performance makes it excellent! I think you are a star yourself! xx
You say she is just giving what god gave her, i agree, but god gave us something better, god gave us Angelina and i am very thankful to god for this gift.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Hey Kiki just remember this performance of this 9yr when you see her so poised and regal in her later years. This lioness is always inside and i cant wait for the day when AJ unleashes it unto the world stage.
first time i heard angelina she was on a tv talent show age 7 singing 'gloomy sunday', i thought it was voice over, my mind cldnt acept that v little grl sounded like bilie holiday, was a bit shocked, cheers frm way dwn sth.
Angelina is 9 here. This is truly "girlpower"! She sings in English! That's her third of 4-5 language. You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina READ, WRITE and SING English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways. Angelina won Norwegian Talents (NGT), when she was 8 years old. Before she participated in AGT at 13 yo, she performed and sang on lots of scenes around our world! Most of these were for charity. She has appeared in front of 40,000 in Soul! When Quincy Jones celebrated his 85th birthday, he asked Angelina to open the concert with "Fly me to the moon"! Etc. .. However, she performed very little in the United States. Participating in AGT was a way to market her in the United States.
LOL I think this is the first time somebody called this performance FUNKY WITH STANK! I like that! Yeah, she's 9 years old here and singing like an old, jazz singer going through the motions. And like you said, she has an old soul...One of the things people who see her perform will say about her. The solo was a saxophone which sounded sweet! Angelina is definitely a musical prodigy. Thanks for liking my explanation on why she performs barefoot. Another performance which many people love from her is her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen on America's Got Talent: The Champions from January 2020. She shocked and wowed the audience and judges. This performance went viral and even the surviving members of Queen saw the performance and posted on their Twitter account, " Wow, what a rendition!" If you want to watch the entire Angelina segment from that night, these are the links: Full Bohemian Rhapsody Performance and Golden Buzzer Moment: Part 1: czcams.com/video/IeGKKELSpjk/video.html Part 2: czcams.com/video/1Hfx5_DWV4E/video.html Part 3: czcams.com/video/3QLhZ5N8-F4/video.html Unfortunately, this is in 3 parts, but it will give you an idea what America saw and why this became viral. This was the first time I saw Angelina. I have been on this ride ever since. Watching just about all of her videos, I can say this young lady is one of the best singers in the world and she's just 16! Please continue you journey and enjoy this ride! God Bless!
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.
God bless you, you beautiful black woman. You lifted her so high. I absolutely loved your reaction. Us white folks need more of you honey. I recently watched an Indian woman react to her in such a fowl way. I loved your excitement, your enthusiasm, your respect for her. It's an honer to watch you. YOU'RE an angel. Keep going.
She was 9yrs of age and is a child prodig. Now 16 2022.A link below at age 6 was the begining of her Professional singing career. So she has been singing professionally for 10years. A-MAZING Musician, singer song writer, musical arranger, Norways youngest author. A Beautiful human being as she is involved in Charitable causes. A stunning performer & she models & over 6foot tall. PLEASE CHECK OUT LINK #AngelinaJordanhurtcoverstudioversion (4:05) video An Absolute JOY to watch.Although her first time in Studio She hits it out of the park. #AngelinaJordanIwhojavenothingstidioversion just months dwn the tract still age 6 different studio music producer and her own professionalism shines thru. UNBELIEVEABLE!
The only way for anyone to understand what makes Angelina the other worldly talented, unique and truly gifted young lady that she is they must watch her earliest performances to gain a proper perspective of her greatness. There is no one else like her. For me, Angelina is one of God’s divinely blessed angels whom is a gift to mankind. She came into being to help bring peace and happiness on earth. Listening to the beautiful angel sing heals our aching souls. I have never been more profoundly affected by listening to someone sing than I have been with Angelina. She is one of the very best things to happen to me in my lifetime. I never go a day without listening to Angelina sing.
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 after 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 on 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
She’s about 9 here. She had already won Norway’s Got Talent. That paper she was writing on at the beginning was her arrangement for this song and she handed to the music director. That’s why she’s known as the boss, she does all of her own arrangements. She also plays piano, guitar and I think flute.
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. 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. Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are (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 (g) 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. 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.
Our little angel put on her dark wings for this one. At 9 yrs old she is already a seasoned singer and performer. This is her arrangement and show. The growth in the year since winning Norway's Got Talent is stunning. Enjoyed your review 😁
@@kikitv806 , fantastic reaction! It's interesting that you said she fell straight out of heaven. Each part of her whole name -- Angelina Jordan Astar -- when looking at their original root definitions from Greek and Hebrew, LITERALLY means, "an angel descending from the stars"! Indeed, she is! This was March of 2015, so she was 9 years, 2 months here. She was born January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway.
Girl, I loved your reaction! I had to watch it twice LOL! Angelina is something from out of this world! She captivates every cell in my body and takes me on a journey with her with every time she sings❤❤❤
Hi Kiki. Just sub'd and thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to our Angel. As a 67 year old rocker, Angelina is currently listed on my top three female vocalists of all time. Five years ago while scrolling through CZcams, I came across this gem, researched and fell in love with her covers and orginal material. Watching her grow and blossom over time has solidified my respect and admiration. Please continue to react, us Angels will be with you and support you. Her library is vast as we guide you through her catalog. Enjoy.
By the time Angelina offered this performance at barely 9 years old she had already won Norway's Got Talent singing songs from the great jazz/blues artist Billie Holiday and the great Ella Fitzgerald. She had performed in Europe, Asia, South America and North America. Performed the classic Louis Armstrong song "What A Wonderful Life" at the Nobel Peace Prize concert helping raise money for Save The Children as she sang it directly to the prize winners. She appeared on the American TV show The View and sang "Fly Me To The Moon" made famous by Frank Sinatra. She appeared on the Netflix series "Lilyhammer" playing the role of a nightclub singer and singing Billie Holiday's version of "I'm A Fool To /Want You" which was co-written and performed by Frank Sinatra, both Angelina idols. She ha and became d also performed for several world leaders and became friendly with many musical artists including Avicci, David Foster, Stevie VanZandt (who asked her to appear on Lilyhammer. At 9 she wrote her book "Between Two Hearts" based on her 6 year old diary and became the youngest published author ever in Norway. Everything I just mentioned can be found on YT. Loving this journey with you KIKI!!!! Here is one of her first recordings in a school studio. Some say she was 6 but I understand that she might have just turned 7. The 70's hit from Tom Jones "I WHO HAVE NOTHING": czcams.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/video.html
Hi Kiki - a 50 year old Black soulsinger woman in a childs body isnt she - this guy on the Candela at start is the original singer Screeming J. Hawkins - grandfather of Shock Rock
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. Well perhaps this is what she does when she does play and 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. Any one 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 alway 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 16 years old... That is unfathomable!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... Not to be morbid but when I'm lying in my deathbed I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares. 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. ♥👣👸🏻
You can just starting from this to make a playlist of Angelina Jordan Astar. There's gonna be more reactions to her, I know. You've just started your journey with this amazing Norwegian girl. The child with her 1000 voices. 👍 I can't wait to see. This song just hit 10 million wiews now. Love from Norway 🇳🇴
I love your reaction! I have learnt AJ understands six senses in young age. She is like a Doctor who knows how to prescribe the music to us even though she has not gone through adult life. Her mouth is equivalent to guitar making many tones. Love AJ
Now that you have have tipped your toe down the Angelina Jordan Astar rabbit hole and have become been completely smitten with her vocal abilities any Angelina fan would tell you should react to her four “Norway’s Got Talent” performances. WARNING: Be prepared to watch a seven year old Angelina leave you in shock and awe. Listening to her sing is a positive life changing experience.
People, please stop saying things, like a rabbit hole, and barefoot princess. Angelina Jordan is way beyond that now. She is the best singer in the world, and she is among the best singers ever.
What a lot of people miss, because of the next song showing at the end, is her hand coming up to her chin, and you can already see her thinking, How could I have did this better. At the beginning you could see her writing things down, that she wanted the band to do.
I love your reaction because you are all of us the first time we saw this spellbinding performance. Her latest, Suspicious Minds is gorgeous and I love her version of I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James). Actually, you are down the rabbit-hole now, everything she puts out is amazing and I will enjoy watching your journey!
Kiki, I'll be brief. Angelina is a beautiful person wise beyond her years. She was already cultivating her gift when she was 6 years old (before she appeared on Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old) and is already a living legend. Away from the microphone she is a humble, kind, caring and loving person. Then, when she sings for us she is able to transmit the love in her heart to us, specifically to our heart, and our heart cannot resist and opens it's door to let her in. Once she's there she will never leave someone. The affect she has on people is so dramatic people are often brought to tears when they hear her sing. Kiki, I love your style and I do hope you continue to follow Angelina. And, please, I think this video opens your eyes to how remarkable she was as a "very young" person. :) Everything she did from 7 yrs old and beyond is definite a must listen so anything you choose to listen to will "touch your heart".
Wow KiKi, that was an exciting reaction, really enjoyed that a lot. This one by our little 9 year old in the cute white dress has baffled and amazed millions who have seen this. I know you have seen little Angelina as a beautiful eloquent, classy young lady at 16 already but you may want to start back with the Norway Got Talent performances and work your way up as I think others here have suggested. Always a good place for all things Angelina, including a chronological list from younger to older, is Rusty Shackleford's list on his channel. He is the keeper of all things Angelina along with a few other fans. Here is the link: czcams.com/users/MrRustysPlacevideos. Enjoy.
Fantastic reaction Kiki. You have stumbled across a true gem! You have now experienced a once in a generation artist. I look forward to following your journey down the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. It will be a wild and wonderful journey. Thanks.
Pontus, maybe I'm crazy... But you wouldn't happen to the musician playing the Cello on stage for Angelina during her July Concerts? Cause you look a heck of a lot like that guy. :D
Welcome to the amazing world of Angelina Jordan! You are in for a wonderful ride. There are many good and informative posts here. I can suggest you start with what was probably her first time in a studio in an after-school session. It was "I Who have Nothing" at age 6. You can really see her potential there. Then view her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent at age 7. Enjoy the ride!
This is the first of your reactions I’ve ever seen and it was an immediate follow. I LOVE it when people recognize kids who have “been here before”. Your joy is contagious. Absolute SOULSHINE. 💚
It's interesting that you have over twice as many views as subscribers. Your reactions are so much fun because you are hilarious and recognize when someone is a prodigy and a bona fide genius. She was (at least) a big part of the arrangement. She certainly has been arranging her music for most of her life.
LOL... the look on your face and the expression changes within the first six words of the song was hilarious; Nonetheless we were all affected that way. Now I suggest that you listen to one of her original songs possibly starting with "Shield" I believe the song is for her mother, undoubtedly someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Excelente ! Bravoo !! Very best Real reaction ever !! Miss Angelina Jordan The BareFoot Angel . Please check her performance on American Got Talent or Noruega Got talent .especially Billie Holiday `s song Gloomy Sunday .
A lot of people have said this girl must be in some reincarnation of someone because her voice and talent is well beyond her years She does amazing things with her voice and doing covers of American singers and shes Norwegian. English isn’t even her first language but she speaks several. Amazing young lady with an old soul
I'm so glad I found your channel! You are just delightful and I 'm really looking forward to more of your reactions to our precious girl. She will fill your heart, girl!
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible performance (which she also arranged) - at age 9. And - as young as she is here - in order to better appreciate & understand her early music influencers, highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
SASSY is another word…. First time reacting to your channel my gosh I love you awesome 👏…. Welcome to the Angelina Jordon family my dear…… your in for treat of your life….. can’t wait for more…. Just subscribed 👍
Well, you've seen two real bangers, and they blew you away. I hope you will enjoy her really subtle performances half as much.🙂 Try her live rendition of Dinah Washington's "What a Difference a Day Makes" on _Allsang på Grensen_ when she was 8 (going on 48?), just six weeks after winning _Norway's Got Talent_ [Norske Talenter]. Or, if you want something more recent, "When We Were Young" (Adele cover), sung in a summer concert at Prøysenhuset (a place in Norway) in 2019, when she was 13. Or, even more recent and arguably "more live" (a TikTok just sung into her cell phone), "Love Is a Game" (another Adele cover) from last December (so, 15). These performances - and many, many others - demonstrate that she doesn't need to "go hard" on a vocal to be impressive. (In case you need help finding/choosing the right videos, I'd say for the first one go with the upload by either TV 2 or Song and Heart [the latter featuring a longer pre-song interview with English subtitles], the second by Boris Palenovski, and the third by Rusty Shackleford [or find it on Angelina's TT page].)
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
OMG... Your reactions to her. You're fast becoming one of my favorite Angelina reactors, I'll tell you THAT much. Lovin' it. Which reminds me of her cover of "Lovin' You" at a venue called Prøysenfestivalen here in Norway. Angelina was 11 at the time, and gave us vocals that we'd never heard before, and never again. I would know, cuz I've been following her closely since she won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. It would be totally awesome if you would react to it. Here is the link : czcams.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/video.html Love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hey Hey KiKi, loved both of your AJ reactions so I'm sub'd up and waiting for more. If I was to give you the next 2 AJ reviews they would be hands down 1) Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13 on AGT the Champions. That performance was iconic and doubled AJ's fan base in one night. The one after that should be AJ's latest release of Suspicious Mind's an Elvis Cover/Tribute, Her spin is mind blowing. She turns a 70's big band song and flips it into a stripped down RnB ballad with just a piano and guitar but still honors the Original artist so tastefully. Enjoy your trip down the Angelina rabbit hole, its a fun ride. Also if you want to check out one of the greatest upcoming soul and blues vocalist of our time, review Yebba "My Mind" Ed Sheeran said that after he saw this performance online it brought him to tears and he had to be the first to sign her to his label. You won't be disappointed. ✌❤
Loved your reaction, Ms Kiki! This performance still astounds me after hundreds of listens. You might want to check out her recent cover of the Elvis classic Suspicious Minds, or her unofficial leaked demo I'm Still Holding Out For You. Both of them should make your eyes roll back in your head; the good kind, I mean. You know I'm subbing. Edit: Oh, she was 9 yrs old in this video.
Love your reactions: A few Angelina listening suggestions: 1) I’m still holding out for you (age 10 - fan favourite) czcams.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/video.html 2) This is a man’s world (age 12) czcams.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/video.html 3) Suspicious Minds - Elvia cover (age 16) czcams.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/video.html 4) Her Adele cover ‘All I ask’ is rock solid and gorgeous as well czcams.com/video/8gJuprckBxI/video.html 4) I’d also suggest her originals: - 7th heaven: czcams.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/video.html - Million miles: czcams.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/video.html - Shield: czcams.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/video.html

I have listened to this performance a thousand times and thought it was extraordinary however, your reaction to this performance makes it excellent! I think you are a star yourself! xx
I just discovered Angelina back Dec. 2022, after I've been listening to all her music, I think she put a spell on me.
This little girl was born to melt soulful singers hearts.
I am obsessed with AJ after seeing her sing fly me to the moon 2 mos ago. Crazy good ... great reaction
You'll have to go back a few years, she is nine here, already a veteran. Great reaction! 🇺🇲😎💯👍🌟
You say she is just giving what god gave her, i agree, but god gave us something better, god gave us Angelina and i am very thankful to god for this gift.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Hey Kiki just remember this performance of this 9yr when you see her so poised and regal in her later years.
This lioness is always inside and i cant wait for the day when AJ unleashes it unto the world stage.
Angelina put a spell on you. 😊
first time i heard angelina she was on a tv talent show age 7 singing 'gloomy sunday', i thought it was voice over, my mind cldnt acept that v little grl sounded like bilie holiday, was a bit shocked, cheers frm way dwn sth.

Watching just about all of her videos, I can say this young lady is one of the best singers in the world and she's just 16! Please continue you journey and enjoy this ride! God Bless!
I always come back to this. Can't count the dozens of times I've listened to this.
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.

That's right -- a pure Angel just fallen straight out of heaven...
Love from Germany
The only way for anyone to understand what makes Angelina the other worldly talented, unique and truly gifted young lady that she is they must watch her earliest performances to gain a proper perspective of her greatness.
There is no one else like her. For me, Angelina is one of God’s divinely blessed angels whom is a gift to mankind. She came into being to help bring peace and happiness on earth. Listening to the beautiful angel sing heals our aching souls. I have never been more profoundly affected by listening to someone sing than I have been with Angelina. She is one of the very best things to happen to me in my lifetime. I never go a day without listening to Angelina sing.
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 after 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 on 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
What a great reaction to a wonderful, amazing talent!
She’s about 9 here. She had already won Norway’s Got Talent.
That paper she was writing on at the beginning was her arrangement for this song and she handed to the music director.
That’s why she’s known as the boss, she does all of her own arrangements.
She also plays piano, guitar and I think flute.
She was 9 years old when she did this one. Her grandmother played jazz and blues for her since was an infant and she just couldn't enough of it.
I love your reaction Kiki, that wasmy reaction too!
We knew you would love this one!
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. 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.
Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are
(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
(g) 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.
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.
beautiful reaction, loved your sincere shock
We're all with you Kiki. I've been obsessed with this young artist for three years.
Our little angel put on her dark wings for this one. At 9 yrs old she is already a seasoned singer and performer. This is her arrangement and show. The growth in the year since winning Norway's Got Talent is stunning.
Enjoyed your review 😁
More to come thank you. ❤️
@@kikitv806 React to her cover of "I'd rather go blind" and thank me later...
@@kikitv806 , fantastic reaction! It's interesting that you said she fell straight out of heaven. Each part of her whole name -- Angelina Jordan Astar -- when looking at their original root definitions from Greek and Hebrew, LITERALLY means, "an angel descending from the stars"! Indeed, she is! This was March of 2015, so she was 9 years, 2 months here. She was born January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway.
Shhhhhh don't tell anyone, but there's a 50 year old black woman living in Angelina's small body.
You're sooòi cute!!!! 9 yrs. Old, and God given
Girl, I loved your reaction! I had to watch it twice LOL! Angelina is something from out of this world! She captivates every cell in my body and takes me on a journey with her with every time she sings❤❤❤
Hi Kiki. Just sub'd and thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to our Angel. As a 67 year old rocker, Angelina is currently listed on my top three female vocalists of all time. Five years ago while scrolling through CZcams, I came across this gem, researched and fell in love with her covers and orginal material. Watching her grow and blossom over time has solidified my respect and admiration. Please continue to react, us Angels will be with you and support you. Her library is vast as we guide you through her catalog. Enjoy.
By the time Angelina offered this performance at barely 9 years old she had already won Norway's Got Talent singing songs from the great jazz/blues artist Billie Holiday and the great Ella Fitzgerald. She had performed in Europe, Asia, South America and North America. Performed the classic Louis Armstrong song "What A Wonderful Life" at the Nobel Peace Prize concert helping raise money for Save The Children as she sang it directly to the prize winners. She appeared on the American TV show The View and sang "Fly Me To The Moon" made famous by Frank Sinatra. She appeared on the Netflix series "Lilyhammer" playing the role of a nightclub singer and singing Billie Holiday's version of "I'm A Fool To /Want You" which was co-written and performed by Frank Sinatra, both Angelina idols. She ha and became d also performed for several world leaders and became friendly with many musical artists including Avicci, David Foster, Stevie VanZandt (who asked her to appear on Lilyhammer. At 9 she wrote her book "Between Two Hearts" based on her 6 year old diary and became the youngest published author ever in Norway. Everything I just mentioned can be found on YT. Loving this journey with you KIKI!!!!
Here is one of her first recordings in a school studio. Some say she was 6 but I understand that she might have just turned 7. The 70's hit from Tom Jones "I WHO HAVE NOTHING": czcams.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/video.html
Hi Kiki - a 50 year old Black soulsinger woman in a childs body isnt she - this guy on the Candela at start is the original singer Screeming J. Hawkins - grandfather of Shock Rock
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. Well perhaps this is what she does when she does play and 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. Any one 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 alway 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 16 years old... That is unfathomable!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... Not to be morbid but when I'm lying in my deathbed I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares.
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. ♥👣👸🏻
Spot ON!… Õle! ❤️❤️❤️👣
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this sweet little norwegian genius (now 16 y old) is imo the best singer on this planet! 🤩
You can just starting from this to make a playlist of Angelina Jordan Astar. There's gonna be more reactions to her, I know. You've just started your journey with this amazing Norwegian girl. The child with her 1000 voices. 👍 I can't wait to see. This song just hit 10 million wiews now. Love from Norway 🇳🇴
That was fun. Thank you Kiki!
I love your reaction! I have learnt AJ understands six senses in young age. She is like a Doctor who knows how to prescribe the music to us even though she has not gone through adult life. Her mouth is equivalent to guitar making many tones. Love AJ
Now that you have have tipped your toe down the Angelina Jordan Astar rabbit hole and have become been completely smitten with her vocal abilities any Angelina fan would tell you should react to her four “Norway’s Got Talent” performances. WARNING: Be prepared to watch a seven year old Angelina leave you in shock and awe. Listening to her sing is a positive life changing experience.
Yes. There's no capturing it in words, you simply have to hear it.
People, please stop saying things, like a rabbit hole, and barefoot princess. Angelina Jordan is way beyond that now. She is the best singer in the world, and she is among the best singers ever.
What a lot of people miss, because of the next song showing at the end, is her hand coming up to her chin, and you can already see her thinking, How could I have did this better. At the beginning you could see her writing things down, that she wanted the band to do.
9 years old KiKi, what? I thought you would get a kick out of this one. Love your reaction
great job and welcome to the club!
i knew ud like vis version n b impressd, nice reaction, can feel ur passion.
I love your reaction because you are all of us the first time we saw this spellbinding performance. Her latest, Suspicious Minds is gorgeous and I love her version of I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James). Actually, you are down the rabbit-hole now, everything she puts out is amazing and I will enjoy watching your journey!
awesome reaction.......
Spell cast. You could have been warned... Too late now. You will turn to an angel now... 😉🧙♀
Kiki, I'll be brief. Angelina is a beautiful person wise beyond her years. She was already cultivating her gift when she was 6 years old (before she appeared on Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old) and is already a living legend. Away from the microphone she is a humble, kind, caring and loving person. Then, when she sings for us she is able to transmit the love in her heart to us, specifically to our heart, and our heart cannot resist and opens it's door to let her in. Once she's there she will never leave someone. The affect she has on people is so dramatic people are often brought to tears when they hear her sing.
Kiki, I love your style and I do hope you continue to follow Angelina. And, please, I think this video opens your eyes to how remarkable she was as a "very young" person. :) Everything she did from 7 yrs old and beyond is definite a must listen so anything you choose to listen to will "touch your heart".
Wow KiKi, that was an exciting reaction, really enjoyed that a lot. This one by our little 9 year old in the cute white dress has baffled and amazed millions who have seen this. I know you have seen little Angelina as a beautiful eloquent, classy young lady at 16 already but you may want to start back with the Norway Got Talent performances and work your way up as I think others here have suggested. Always a good place for all things Angelina, including a chronological list from younger to older, is Rusty Shackleford's list on his channel. He is the keeper of all things Angelina along with a few other fans. Here is the link: czcams.com/users/MrRustysPlacevideos. Enjoy.
Hi Kiki, You entered the rabbit hole and a very deep one. Thank you for your very heartfelt reaction.
Beyond blessed 🙌 think will ✔️ back ,you know this is different .she got you drunk in 3 seconds .what fun you have in-store for you see 👀 u again.
Great reaction Kiki
U the best smart smart
Fantastic reaction Kiki. You have stumbled across a true gem! You have now experienced a once in a generation artist. I look forward to following your journey down the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. It will be a wild and wonderful journey. Thanks.
Amazing reaction! Please react to Mount Everest!
She was 9 yrs old
Great reaction 🤗💕 Thank you 🙏 I subscribed, big time 😎
Pontus, maybe I'm crazy... But you wouldn't happen to the musician playing the Cello on stage for Angelina during her July Concerts? Cause you look a heck of a lot like that guy. :D
Great pure enthusiasm Kiki🤯. Thanks for touching in to the Barefoot Princess. Looking forward to more! Cheers🍻
Welcome to the amazing world of Angelina Jordan! You are in for a wonderful ride. There are many good and informative posts here. I can suggest you start with what was probably her first time in a studio in an after-school session. It was "I Who have Nothing" at age 6. You can really see her potential there. Then view her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent at age 7. Enjoy the ride!
Check out her performances on Norways Got Talent. At the beginning she was 7 years old. She was 8 when she was announced as the winner.
thank you for your great reaction .
Excellent reaction and go to her Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 year old entrant, turning 8 when she won, God Bless!
This is the first of your reactions I’ve ever seen and it was an immediate follow. I LOVE it when people recognize kids who have “been here before”. Your joy is contagious. Absolute SOULSHINE. 💚
It's interesting that you have over twice as many views as subscribers. Your reactions are so much fun because you are hilarious and recognize when someone is a prodigy and a bona fide genius. She was (at least) a big part of the arrangement. She certainly has been arranging her music for most of her life.
LOL... the look on your face and the expression changes within the first six words of the song was hilarious; Nonetheless we were all affected that way.
Now I suggest that you listen to one of her original songs possibly starting with "Shield"
I believe the song is for her mother, undoubtedly someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Excelente ! Bravoo !! Very best Real reaction ever !! Miss Angelina Jordan The BareFoot Angel . Please check her performance on American Got Talent or Noruega Got talent .especially Billie Holiday `s song Gloomy Sunday .
Shake what you got baby !! 😘
A lot of people have said this girl must be in some reincarnation of someone because her voice and talent is well beyond her years She does amazing things with her voice and doing covers of American singers and shes Norwegian. English isn’t even her first language but she speaks several. Amazing young lady with an old soul
I'm so glad I found your channel! You are just delightful and I 'm really looking forward to more of your reactions to our precious girl. She will fill your heart, girl!
Her and you gave me goosebumps 🤣
aparently she directed v band to play v song v way she wanted it-amazing
Kiki,Yes, your next reaction should be I'd Rather Go Blind and then I'm Still holding out for you. You will love them both.
"Above the water" next please! 10 years old. It shows the diversity in her voice!
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole 8^)
Absolutely LOVE your reaction!!
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible performance (which she also arranged) - at age 9. And - as young as she is here - in order to better appreciate & understand her early music influencers, highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
New subscriber here...looking forward to more Angelina reactions.
I’ve seen sooo many reactions to this song, yours was the best!…lol Honest and true, great job!
Thank you for another great reaction! Please listen to I’m Still Holding Out For You at age 10!
I loved your reaction!!!! I just discovered you and thank you for being so passionate and lively!
You are gonna be freaking out
Watch her do Edda James I Rather Go Blind.
I think she is a reincarnation of one of the Jazz greats of the past. This kind of innate ability is 1 in 5 billion. She is amazing.
SASSY is another word…. First time reacting to your channel my gosh I love you awesome 👏…. Welcome to the Angelina Jordon family my dear…… your in for treat of your life….. can’t wait for more…. Just subscribed 👍
More to come stay tuned. Thank you so much ❤️
A great review
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️subbed
Well, you've seen two real bangers, and they blew you away. I hope you will enjoy her really subtle performances half as much.🙂 Try her live rendition of Dinah Washington's "What a Difference a Day Makes" on _Allsang på Grensen_ when she was 8 (going on 48?), just six weeks after winning _Norway's Got Talent_ [Norske Talenter]. Or, if you want something more recent, "When We Were Young" (Adele cover), sung in a summer concert at Prøysenhuset (a place in Norway) in 2019, when she was 13. Or, even more recent and arguably "more live" (a TikTok just sung into her cell phone), "Love Is a Game" (another Adele cover) from last December (so, 15). These performances - and many, many others - demonstrate that she doesn't need to "go hard" on a vocal to be impressive. (In case you need help finding/choosing the right videos, I'd say for the first one go with the upload by either TV 2 or Song and Heart [the latter featuring a longer pre-song interview with English subtitles], the second by Boris Palenovski, and the third by Rusty Shackleford [or find it on Angelina's TT page].)
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love your reaction! ❤️
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
OMG... Your reactions to her. You're fast becoming one of my favorite Angelina reactors, I'll tell you THAT much. Lovin' it. Which reminds me of her cover of "Lovin' You" at a venue called Prøysenfestivalen here in Norway. Angelina was 11 at the time, and gave us vocals that we'd never heard before, and never again. I would know, cuz I've been following her closely since she won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. It would be totally awesome if you would react to it. Here is the link : czcams.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/video.html
Love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hey Hey KiKi, loved both of your AJ reactions so I'm sub'd up and waiting for more. If I was to give you the next 2 AJ reviews they would be hands down 1) Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13 on AGT the Champions. That performance was iconic and doubled AJ's fan base in one night. The one after that should be AJ's latest release of Suspicious Mind's an Elvis Cover/Tribute, Her spin is mind blowing. She turns a 70's big band song and flips it into a stripped down RnB ballad with just a piano and guitar but still honors the Original artist so tastefully. Enjoy your trip down the Angelina rabbit hole, its a fun ride.
Also if you want to check out one of the greatest upcoming soul and blues vocalist of our time, review Yebba "My Mind" Ed Sheeran said that after he saw this performance online it brought him to tears and he had to be the first to sign her to his label. You won't be disappointed. ✌❤
Noted.. More videos soon stay tuned ❤️
Loved your reaction, Ms Kiki! This performance still astounds me after hundreds of listens. You might want to check out her recent cover of the Elvis classic Suspicious Minds, or her unofficial leaked demo I'm Still Holding Out For You. Both of them should make your eyes roll back in your head; the good kind, I mean. You know I'm subbing. Edit: Oh, she was 9 yrs old in this video.
Love your reactions: A few Angelina listening suggestions:
1) I’m still holding out for you (age 10 - fan favourite) czcams.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/video.html
2) This is a man’s world (age 12) czcams.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/video.html
3) Suspicious Minds - Elvia cover (age 16) czcams.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/video.html
4) Her Adele cover ‘All I ask’ is rock solid and gorgeous as well czcams.com/video/8gJuprckBxI/video.html
4) I’d also suggest her originals:
