Hello everyone! I hope you're well and thank you for checking out my video! So an apology! I understand now that this is actually a tribute to the original version by Screamin' Jay Hawkins! Thank you to everyone who has highlighted this to me. As this was my first time ever watching anything by Angelina Jordan, I chose to do a minimal amount of research as I prefer my reaction to be authentic and as fresh as possible. However, I do understand that knowing the version she was covering would have been to my benefit. I hope that you continue to come back to my other Angelina Jordan reactions and enjoy my journey with me. Much love! Adam

@Adam_Straughan: No need to apologise ... I've watched dozens of reactions to the video since you posted yours and this is by far the most measured and honest. R (Australia)

Hi. My name is Bruce and I am an Angelina addict. This video is more addictive than any substance known to mankind. There is no cure, but it can be treated with frequent doses of Angelina Jordan music. Effects of this addiction can include feelings of euphoria, light-headedness, and singing at inappropriate times. Side effects may vary and can be used in conjunction with blues, jazz, pop, and other forms of music. I admit my addiction and am completely powerless to stop it.

This was her own arrangement based on the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins, which was covered by Nina Simone and others.

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!

This child is an old soul! Talent in the voice, but she seems, even at 9years old, to be able to emotionally interpret such a mature song! Amazing!

This is my favorite song to watch others witness for the first time...I absolutely love her version of this. She sounds like an old man in this, lol.

Angelina's rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody should probably be your next listen. It's her latest release at 13 (turned 14 in January). It will give you a perfect idea of where her voice is now, her ability to rearrange songs (at 13!!) and just a sampling of her vocal and technical abilities. Then after the goosebumps fade, I'd start at the beginning when she 'auditioned' for Norway's Got Talent with her rendition of Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday at 7. I rediscovered Angelina in January and have listened to her everyday since. If you want to check out her writing ability, check out her live version of her song Shield. I'm hooked for life. Welcome to the Club!

Thanks for a very informed reaction to Angelina. I understand your thoughts about performing vs. singing. I won’t repeat what others have said about how this song was a one-off, unique performance for Angelina. To answer all your questions-just listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, and then you’ll be on a very extended journey with Angelina.

The best thing about her is she doesn't sing the song she becomes the song.. her emotions are the music.. its truly amazing to see at this age...

Adam! You finally found my favorite singer of all time. I am so glad you did. She is fantastic. You know I love Aurora, but Angelina, wow. She has so much emotion and soul in her voice, you are about to find out. Try Bohemian Rhapsody first, and go a little back and forth from 13 years old, and back to where it all started, at 6. You will love her. I know it, knowing you. Thank you for this massive reaction 👍

she is so strong for this young age !!! I love the scream in 2:35-36. That’s so good. 😍 I love this song !!! She sing as much a adult. Her maturity in her voice.

Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing performance 🙂❤️ I really love it. This is her most dramatic performance. She always sings with her soul, heart and emotions. Please listen to "Born to die", "A million years ago", "All of me", "Stay" or her own song "Shield" 🙂🙂 You will not be disappointed 🙂❤️

this song is an homage to the original singer: She is singing the Screamin' Jay Hawkins (1956) version whose face is on the candle she held in the beginning. Certain things that Jay did, Angelina does on this performance. Angelina always capture the spirit of the song and improves it. Whatever she does on a song is in purpose. Keep reacting to Angelina and you will learn how amazing skills she has. she was 9 years old on this song.... wait until you listen the songs she sang when she was 10 :)

As loud and wild and seemingly uncontrolled as that seemed to be is as controlled, nuanced she will be as her voice hugs your soul and your heart as she gets older and sings ballads. Her smooth jazz is matched by no one. She takes quite a journey and watching her from Norway’s Got Talent to present showing the dramatic evolution of an upcoming legend. Her versatility in the music that she sings is amazing. She has the technical ability to use her voice to enchance any song that she chooses and her choices go from the 30’s jazz to Sinatra, Elvis, James Brown, Freddy Mercury, Queen, Adelle, Rhianna, Lana Del Ray, Amy Winehouse......Yet her performance is usually just her and music. No elaborate show. She doesn’t need it. She arranges most of her own covers and has written 3 songs. Her voice is like none other and her sense of music is genius.

I have seen a large number of reactions to this song, and you are the only one who has expressed exactly what I felt. Towards the end of the song, when she changed the tune, I felt a change in the way I felt. Up until then, I had been in a state of wonder and admiration, but from that point on, I felt more connected to the song, or rather, I felt myself being drawn to it all at once. At the end of the song, the long tone part, I was moved to the point where my whole body went numb. I subscribed your channel.

Tribute to original artist Screaming Jay Hawkins who used theatrical antics.

😇A miracle performance, that's all I can say . A Jay masterpiece combined with a Nina world-class .

theres about 125 songs covering her from age 6-14 in several genres so you have a treasure chest to pick from =)

Angelina Jordan only 7 years old then has control of the musicians and great voice control! Absolutely incredible!

Angie is 9 here, Adam - Screamin' Jay Hawkins 1956 version - i LOVED your excellent reaction and have subscribed - I hope you really explore and react to as much Angie as possible and soon - she has a ton of music for you to explore - I believe this song and Man's World are her only 2 really strong, strident performances - most are softer, velvety, extremely beautiful, straight from her humble heart - I listen to her for about 2 hours per night - fantastic supportive family, she has turned down contracts and formed her own company - does tons of work for charities and on and on - wish I could tell you all of her greatest songs (IMO) but others will do that - I'm 71 and she is my very favorite singer in my lifetime.

Angelina Jordan was 7 years old when she won Norways Got Talent.

The original singer of "I Put a Spell on You" is a 1956 song written and composed by Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins, that is why she holds up the candle with his picture.

@@AdamStraughan Thanks, many people don't know, "Screamin jay" was before their time.

This is just the tip of the iceberg with Angelina Jordan. You have so much more to discover. She was just 9 in this video, but her incredible talent goes back even further. You mentioned that you were going to check out Bohemian Rhapsody next. I think doing these two back to back is going to really show you what kind of versatility she has. As you work your way through her library, she is going to show you so many different styles and flavors. She always somehow selects the exact style that a song needs to get the message across. This one is no different. You said you were a little put off by the style of this one (which you will not see in any other performance by her), but by the end you understood why she selected this style. BTW: If you like subtle inflections in singing, you are going to be a big fan of Angelina. She can pack so many subtle things in a vocal that it usually takes many listens to pick up on all of them. And the things she does, she never does for show. She always does it for the emotion she is trying to convey. ...and I always have to leave this little bio for people just discovering her so that you can learn a little about her background and her kind soul...... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 14 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 120 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a magical world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.

@@BlackWolfSpirit I'm with you 100% on how you feel about reactors just doing reactions for their view count and numbers. But on the other hand I think that's got to be a choice for the real reactor who doesn't care so much about getting the views as much as they do about watching and listening to great performances. Personally as a viewer, I'd want to every reactor to watch this, even the people who try so hard to fake a reaction and just look into the camera to make viewers think they really are interested, when it's obvious they're doing their best acting (which usually sucks, lol) to try to make people believe it's a true reaction. This video is what I want anyone who hasn't heard of Angelina to watch first, because of the shock factor and her age. I then choose songs from AJ for that reactor based on what I think they are interested in. So if it's the AGT performances then I might ask for those, even though I'm not an AGT fan of that show. Anyway my point is people shouldn't be shied away from those songs from AGT because of the numbers. Let them choose the songs and we choose if we want and like their reactions. I believe the amount of time a viewer watches a video has a value for their channels too. So if I turn it off because I think they are faking a reaction it doesn't help there cause much. And I probably pass them by next time.

If you want to really understand what Angelina is about - and it's a varied and colourful world she inhabits - it really helps to go through her repertoire and development from the beginning. I've been doing that for years and I just realized that I don't really understand what she does any more than I did 5 years ago. So there's that :)

Rusty, it is great that you provide a brief "bio" of Angelina for the first time listeners of her covers. As much as we all love her voice, we also love the humble, compassionate girl she is. So, you may add to your future "bios" the fact that she refused singing kids' repertoire and always chose proper, "big" songs. BTW, her kinder-garden clip is priceless. The barefoot girl on the street was an orphan I believe in Iran, where her grandmother is from, so Angelina knew the language and was able to talk to her. In an interview, Angelina explained that the girl had a scale for weighing people for a small change. Angelina set down beside her and they spoke for a while. That was before the Norway talent show, which means she was not even seven at the time. It is extraordinary for a child of that age to do what she did - to seat down on a street in order to have a meaningful conversation and to try to help. That compassionate heart is the source of those emotions that are making us all spellbound while listening to her singing. Quite appropriately, her name describes her best - a little angel.👼🏻

Angelina is music. She puts her own take on every song she sings, just like Aurora does on her covers. Angelina also arranges the songs and rewrites the lyrics to fit her age her self, like she did with the song Back to black by Amy winehouse. I can't wait till you hear bohemian rapsody as well as yellow brick road, those will showcase her more mature voice, you will hear the difference, and i believe she was 13 when she sang bohemian, and turned 14 during the competition and is thus 14 when she sings yellow brick road, not that it matters much :) She sings fantastic, yet very differently from Aurora of course, but one should never compare artists like that anyways, uniqueness is their trademark

Just a little correction. AGT was recorded in october 2019 and Angelina was 13 when she did both Bohemian Rapsody and Yellow Brick Road. The show was then aired in january 2020, through several weeks, and Angelina turned 14 during the time it was aired.

She was paying tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins, the co-author and original singer. That was him on the candle.

Angelina, at least up until now, is not a glitz and glitter singer. She portrays more emotion than effect. She hypnotizes you with her voice

One of Angelina's greatest ' traits ' that endear her to ALL her fans...and that is, her humility, her humbleness, and her compassionate ways...Yes her talent is supreme...but to combine that with who she really is as a person first and foremost, is unmatched by any musical artists today.. That's why we love and adore her to no end.. Great reaction my friend. Cheers.

Hard for me believe you have not seen her. This was styled version she took from Jay Hawkins that she arranged both the lyrics and music. Her vocals are beyond incredible as she has at least 26 different voices you can distinguish and I don’t believe I have heard them all. I guarantee you will be amazed. Little history. She has been listening to Jazz since infancy introduced by her grandmother. She can first be seen singing at 18 months of age. She is scrolling through KZread from two to three looking for Jazz artists. At three she told her Mother she wanted to sing for Simon Cowell. At five you can see her leading interviewer through her home showing her toys and clothes. She stops stating guitar not good and picks up plastic toy guitar and starts singing Rolling In The Deep. At six you find her in a sound booth singing Tom Jones “I Who Have Nothing “ She is readying lyrics in English. She is now speaking Norwegian, Persian and English. At seven she auditions for Norway’s Got Talent singing Billie Holidays “Gloomy Sunday “ and wins the show singing “Summertime “ I know you love Aurora and I guarantee you will love Angelina. There is much to learn about her and others will add. She is possibly the most philanthropic human alive today. Be aware that if you board the train you will not be able to get off. Tell your friends and loved ones your going to be gone for a long time. Between Aurora and Angelina you will be consumed. It’s a Norwegian conspiracy to capture our souls.

Beautifully written. My favorite is when she holds the pink guitar and says "It's not so good." Then "Rolling in the Deep." She shows her toys with a maturity I wasn't expecting. Then when they are going downstairs she turns around and says, "Close it." It is not just her music that is gifted.

❤️ your reaction 👍😊 , Welcome to Angelinas world 😊❤️ , She started singing at 1,5 and won Norwegian talent when she was 8, she have 120+ coversongs and some originals 😊, next Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody in AGT Champions 2020 ? It will blow your mind out 😊, she makes all the cover songs hers 😊 She is 14 years old today After my opinion she will be the female versjon of Elvis in the future 👍😊❤️

This is a tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins (the 1956 original) She sings it that way because the song demands it. Buckle up, if you're gonna follow through on her because she'll blow you away every time and you'll never see another performance like this one.

Shes 14 now! I am addicted to her voice! Can’t wait till you hear more!

she won Norway got talent when she was 7, she was 9 in this video, she was in AGT the champions earlier this year, she turned 14 in january but was 13 during AGT as it was pre-recorded, great to see you check her out =) btw the original was by Screamin Jay Hawkins, she held his picture up in the start of the video as a tribute.

This was an excellent reaction and analysis. You recognize her precociousness, raw talent, the amazing effects while still noting that she is a 9 year old with developing skills.

When you listen to the 1956 original, she has indeed styled her version after Screamin' Jay Hawkins - but he earned his nickname on that one song. She inserted so much more melody in every line, though.

You will like her Bohemian Rhapsody she rearranged it to a soft jazz, she is more about the touching of your soul. This song was amazing and powerful and she can do that when she wants like with It's A Mans World, but most of her songs have a subtle magic, She has many different types of songs, some of my favorites are "Feeling Good" (jazz); A Million Years Ago" (Adelle); "La Boheme" (classical)' "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" (Country) "Valerie" (Amy Winehouse); "Fly Me To The Moon" (jazz)

I can't believe it, I am such a fan of Angelina ♡♡ Please react more of her covers

You have to listen 🎶 more of Angelina

Best vocal ever any age. Perfection, breathing, phrasing beyond anything ever sung. used over 20 skills which no other singer has. Growls never came out of pitch. Sliding notes like no adult can do. Back phrasing took her way off beat and riff brought her right back. I can go on and on!!! She was born with this. Break it down, AMAZING!!!!!!!

This was my 1st Encounter of Angelina's Type and been hooked since then! None mentioned in the comments you already get her tribute to author, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, with his picture on the glass-candle she hold at the beginning: it's own made since you don't find such merch on the commerce. And for her inspiration she certainly mixed both SJH with Nina Simone one...

Dear Adam! Thank you for reacting to Angelina. To understand her you need to hear more! “I put a spell on you” is very different from what she usually sings. Angelina feels songs. She makes them often better than the original. You should listen to “Bohemian Rapsody” (13 years) and “A million years ago” (11 years I think”. And her original “Shield” from when she was 12. She is so young and she tries on different songs and different voices, just what the song needs. She will surprise you if you keep listening to her. She has a velvety soothing voice. Not like in I put a spell on you. 🥰

Actually, I seriously doubt if any adult can match it. Angelina tried it when she was older, but it wasn't as good as this one. If She can't do it, no one can!

New subscriber here. I appreciate the larger scope of your understanding. You are the first reactor I have accessed that has logically dissected the components of singing and performing. I look forward to your A.J. Journal. We welcome you to our Maguc Carpet Angelina ride. She already is developing into a competent conductor also. Others too will help your Angelina Journey.

As you may have found out, we have things in the water here. I can't tell you of course what it is but... There is a whole bunch of super talents coming out of Norway right now. This one, Jordan, is just getting better and better. She is so young here and she has gotten so much better now. Much more control and skill. Older and wiser. As it should be. Such a contrast to Aurora of course, which is my number one artist of all times.

Here's part of something I wrote to another who listened to the "wrong" version of this song, but if you want to be impressed with True Talent keep listening to her! These sugestions to the other apply to you just about as I have put them: In "I put a spell on you", when she recorded that at age 9, she had such a commitment to her interpretation, and "put it all out there" as she sang it, vocal coach reactors have said, she really could do damage to her voice if she continues to push so hard as she does performing this for us. [fantastic all out interpretation of a song by the artist "Screamin Jay Hawkins" she pays tribute to by holding a candle with his picture on it at the beginning] She no doubt was advised that by her vocal couch she had in the school she went to, where they encouraged the arts and so would have been partly guiding her development at that time. It's very likely she noticed a difficulty in her voice maybe days following that recording and realized she has to protect herself from doing damage to herself as she gives her all in EVERY performance she does. [she's been growing her talent and learning through the years with lots of different techniques and different types of songs, and simply Learning, Growing in her skill, as she is so excited to do!] This was a lesson she had to learn as she is on earth to enlighten us with what she brings and she learned here to give it her all, but not to her detriment. Not to hurt herself to do that, so she will be able to keep doing what she loves the best she can be at it. So basically since that first [a growing lesson that we are lucky to have had recorded] version of this song she has never [really she Can never, -as I have explained] sung it exactly the same way, as you'll see what I'm talking about if you listen to her in that one. Now for the links I strongly suggest you follow. Many people have given you the first one [this song in it's original state]. I will list that link too, but do keep on the journey. Your followers will grow greatly in numbers if you do. One last thing on the studio version in this link, she has written her "suggestions" to the director for the band. [she is arranging the song herself at age 9!] She has requested the changes to be made so sweetly the director smiles. [she wrote it was her "wish" if he could make those changes] [He did] And we end up with Angelina's vision and interpretation for us to marvel at all around the world. Another thing, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Jorden means Earth in Swedish/Norwegian so her name interpreted is Angelina Earth Star. Here is that first link again for you [do a second first time reaction!] "I Put a Spell on You"(9): kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKt6ztF8gLvgc9Y.html. Now for the difficult to shrink down suggestion list: Though other early performances [as she won the talent show at age 7/8] are great you should next go back to her studio recording at age 6!! of "I who have nothing".

Angelina was not pleased that it was leaked, because the lyrics at the end implied suicide. She said she would never perform this song again. I do respect her decision. But this performance is really good! [the author - Baby Fuzz - didn't want or allow his lyrics changed so an outstanding performance by Angelina will not be repeated and only the "leaked" version will ever be heard] And finally [what for many has started it all] [the appreciation and "finding" of Angelina] her performances on AGT: [absolute must see both!] [can't find the shorter version of just the singing, this one has the whole show's episode of her] Angelina Jordan - Bohemian Rhapsody - America's Got Talent: The Champions One - January 6, 2020 kzread.info/dash/bejne/ep6nr5Wppa62otY.html and :her performance in the finals of AGT-C where she covers Sara Bareilles' version of Elton John's iconic song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ep6nr5Wppa62otY.html

Adam straughan Welcome to the World of "Barefoot Angel" our Angelana Jordana Astar ♥️♥️♥️

Surprise first and amazing reaction to Angelina, Adam, more than understandable and that's what fans expect when they recommend this song, the kid it's fun. It's a kind of investiture, the reaction to this song by Angelina, it's the watershed between simple listeners and fans. This in homage to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the original writer and singer of 1956. Certainly not many adults know him, certainly the only little girl of 9 years in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is Angelina. And it's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written at the beginning of the video) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song. 😊 Angelina is not only what you saw in this perfect performance, she is much more, even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level ❤️ This is a small part of the about 130 different interpretations, including covers, songs written for her and her originals written between 11 and 12 years old, if they seem enough “Bang Bang” - Age 8 kzread.info/dash/bejne/opd20aRtaarenps.html “Summertime” - Age 8 ​kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKKkqNV8fq7gdso.html “At Last” - Age 8 kzread.info/dash/bejne/amVtxLNyeZC6Xco.html “Every Time We Say Goodbye” - Age 10 kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYaHq5qBnbeueqQ.html “Feeling Good”- Age 10 kzread.info/dash/bejne/omyfo65mo6qwqJs.html “What Is Life” - Age 12 (original song) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKpk1Jlwe7GdgqQ.html "It's A Man's World" - Age 12 kzread.info/dash/bejne/enmhmdaAos2ve84.html “I Will Always Love You” - Age 11 kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6GgltaCcdS9hbw.html “Shield” - Age 12 (original song) kzread.info/dash/bejne/noWot8SPe8WWptY.html “Valerie” - Age 12 kzread.info/dash/bejne/paWhrK6kl86Yec4.html “Wicked Game” - Age 12 kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z311r6htdqfMp5c.html "Born To Die" - Age 12 kzread.info/dash/bejne/doKJj6qcfNi1j6w.html&start_radio=1 “Stay” - Age 12 kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXuHuLKvc9yZico.html “Song for A” - Age 13 (song written for her) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKNnz8qxgLCTpaQ.html “When We Were Young” - Age 13 kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3x7tdWqgbLZZaw.html Or, if you prefer, you can react at her first 4 public performances of Norway's Got Talent in 2014 (so about two years before this of this video), those performances made during a few months are the her first public appearances, but you can already see what her was capable of and how her skills had improved in that limited period of time. Or, if you prefer to continue from the end, there are 3 incredible rewritten songs for AGTC 2020

Ahh brilliant! Thank you for this!!

😀 From what I heard, she was 10 years old in this video, I don't think there's any 10 year old girl in the whole world, that could sing this song, the way she does!! She is in one word, unbelievable!! I love one of her newest songs called, "now I'm the fool"

Angelina and Aurora, my two favourit female singers. They are very different, but both are grate singers and performers.

It's 7/22/22 and this is still the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Sorry On AJ behalf. She should come with a warning label.

An exellnent analysis and breakdown!! Great, and very REAL, reaction. Quite gratifyi g. Your wishes and tastes will be WAY BEYOND fufilled, so just carry on!

Very good reaction. Angelina Jordan "I put spell on you " (Little Big Stars GERMANY) is her best version for me. Please react to this version. Thanks.

Angelina has a magical voice...you can only fall in love with it! She is so gifted...and I can't wait to see what the future hold for her! :)

Adam, thank you so much for your reaction. I totally get what you are saying about performing vs singing. I love how she performed this song, but I fell in love with Angelina when I heard her sing more than perform, which is the case for most of her songs outside of this one. I am sure you'll be entering the Angelina rabbit hole with the rest of us that have listened to more than a couple of her songs, and now can't get enough of her voice and singing ability.

As a first time reaction, this is maybe the most requested song of Angelina, very impressive although not the best to enter her music world. It Is exceptional for a girl that young but that was a one-off performance. Her voice has changed growing up and later renditions have changed as well, beautiful but different (no dangerous growling). There are lots of live performance of hers that give you the exact dimension of her huge talent and, overall, her wonderful soul and capacity to convey emotions. Check them out!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I cant help my self 🤣🤣🤣 You got the same face as they all do the first time. Welcome to AJ world, you will love it Im sure 💖

Welcome aboard the Angelina train! She was 13 years old when she was on America's Got Talent: The Champions this year. She did not win, but the exposure of being on the show greatly expanded her fan base and popularity. Her voice has changed, but it is still so unique. This song you just heard was her paying homage to the singer and song. Her main influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Whitney Houston. She was exposed to jazz and blues music by her grandmother at a really early age. When you watch her performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, this is what her voice really sounds like. This was the performance that really launched her popularity in the U.S. She has complete control of what to sing, how the song should be played in regards to tempo, what needs to be changed to fit her, and what singing voice to use. She does a lot of covers, but she has written some original songs as well....

Get ready to be more impressed....she arranges all the songs she sings...even at 8 years old....notice at the beginning she writing on the script and handing it to the trumpet player.....she changes everything up to exactly what she want it to be.....that's the amazing part to me....

Nobody ever expect her to sound like that. I've been following Angelina since she entered ngt when she was 7, and I simply knew the first time I saw her that she was gonna be a superstar, maybe Even a legend. But that Said, as you in many word say, this is a showsong, it is jawdropping that a tiny girl at the age of 9 can acctually sing or perform å song like the way she does. It is impressive, but this is not a 100% representative of how she acctually sings. She is known as the velvet Queen, that says much. But every cover she sings, she 100% makes her one. I do hope you react more to her so you can fin out for yourself how amazing this girl is. And yes, this is a dramatic song, a powerfull song, but I am sure Aurora could pull it of with simply accoustics. AURORA and Angelina, the two reaction favourites from Norway. Both so talented but so diffrent.

Angeldust we all need it just like with Aurora they are needed....a jorney that souts your soul in every way ❤❤❤

The original song by Screamin Jay Hawkins is the one she was leaning towards! He was the picture on the candle at the beginning of the video! She is our barefoot angel! Try "Feeling Good" and just about anything else by her!

I love "i'm still holding out for you." So many...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Valerie (fun on venice beach, California, with little sister juliette dancing) A million years ago (you will like this one) You were always on my mind Its a mans world (live outdoor stage with Norwegian military band) Gloomy Sunday with English subtitles age 7 Born to die Stay Feeling Good outdoors norway.

Well, she loves jazz and not many young children does that. She has so much soul (an old soul). She is much more than this and she doesnt use this kind of singing usually. She has a voice with so many layers that you will be amazed. You CANT stop with this reaction of Angelina! You need to continue. Quincy Jones said he hadnt seen a talent like hers since Michael Jackson. You should react to «Born to die» (Lana del Rey cover), «Goodbye Yellow Brick Road» (from AGT The champiosn), «A million years ago» (Adele cover), «I have nothing» (Whitney Houston tribute) to start her journey, cause you will be hooked! Start with these besides «Bohemian rapsody». Im eagerly waiting for your next Angelina reactions (and Aurora of course).. 😉 There are many more Norwegian artists (especially females) you should check out with amazing voices and songs (but you probably have a long wish-list allready).

Nobody has warned you? ... too late!... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and she has bewitched you! From now on you are assimilated in her entourage! Resistence is futil... ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting especially the first time to Angelina Jordon and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan - I'm sure I will and you will discover a huge pile of WOW-moments ;-) All the other things like recomendations, playlists, her web site and so on you can read in the comments of the megafans like Fernando F., Rusty, ... ;-) Thanks a billion for your nice and professional reaction! ...and see you soon with your next AJ reactions :-D May be you would know whitch is the original of this song - it is from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZ97ssqpptTaf8Y.html). If you see this too and may be the cover version of Angelina after this a seconde time, you will find out that Angelinas cover is not made after the version of Nina Simone but it is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D (And of course it would be funny if you would make a reaction video of the original of Jay Hawkins and the version of AJ afterwards [again] in one video ;-) )

@@AdamStraughan Follow Angelina multiple KZread Channels. You will be like Alice in Wonderland. I do like Nina Simone's version, which I thought is what Angelina was going for since she is jazz fan. But she chose to do a Screaming Jay Hawkins. What impressed me about her is that she has a lot to say in her musical arrangement. At the beginning of the video, you see her hand the producer a note asking him to make changes to the arrangement. She was only 9.

Angelina speaks 3 languages, plays 4 instruments, writes & composes her own music. She recomposed this song as well.

I’m sure you know already that Angelina sang this song in the style of the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins released in Nov 56. (Go Air Force - he came out of the AF in 52, the yr before I was born)) ( check it’s out) “Hawkins originally envisioned the tune as a refined ballad."[17] The entire band was intoxicated during a recording session where "Hawkins screamed, grunted, and gurgled his way through the tune with utter drunken abandon."[17] The resulting performance was no ballad but instead a "raw, guttural track" that became his greatest commercial success and reportedly surpassed a million copies in sales. "I Put a Spell On You" became a classic cult song, covered by a variety of artists such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, Nina Simone, Alan Price, the Animals, Them with Van Morrison, Arthur Brown, Bryan Ferry, Buddy Guy with Carlos Santana, Tim Curry, Leon Russell, Joe Cocker, Nick Cave in a concert only version, Marilyn Manson, Mica Paris with David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and Joss Stone, Diamanda Galas, and Annie Lennox in 2014 for her Grammy nominated album Nostalgia. Hawkins' original "I Put a Spell on You" was featured during the show and over the credits of the 2003 The Simpsons episode "I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can". Nina Simone's version reached No. 120 Pop[16] and No. 23 on the U.S. The 2010 version by Jeff Beck featuring Joss Stone was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 53rd Grammy Awards. Finally, Angelina Jordan performs the song in a music video directed by Norwegian photographer Per Heimly. The black & white video, made to look as though you are watching an old film, includes film projector sound effects. It has been viewed more than 7.11 million times on KZread, and other video-sharing sites, as of June 2020. A tribute to the songwriter, Hawkins, appears briefly at the beginning of the video, when his picture appears on a candle. The video was uploaded to KZread on September 27th 2016, when Angelina was 10 years old. (Source Wikipedia Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and You Put A Spell on Me). And yes, Angelina made it to Wikipedia in I Put a Spell on You. Age 10.

❤️👣 This was the first time I heard of or listened to Angelina. I have been an avid fan since. I just love this woman ( now ).

Adam. You are fortunate to have started the "journey" of getting to know Angelina at a young age. She is indeed growing to be an incredible artist. Let us follow your journey of discovery of this amazing person. Continue your journey via her age. She has a plethora of video's on youtube. Follow her progress via her age and let us experience your experience.......... you will wish you could start it all again once your up to date, ....... and yet, not. :-)

Her voice control,her vibratos,her power.you will hard find someone like her

Screaming Joe Hawkins wrote this song in 1956 , He Performed this Song more than He Sang it. He used Fire From his mouth , He had talking Skulls on his Shoulders , He Used Chicken Bones Thru His Nose , & He Screamed , Growled , & Gurgled His Voice as A Voo-Doo Witch Doctor

This is the only song she has done like this. You are asked to do this for it’s shock value. You will have listen to about 10 songs to stop being surprised at how she sounds. She chops and changes, re-interprets a lot of covers. She’s 9 here and 13 when she did Bohemian Rhapsody. How she sounds for AGT is just for AGT, so when you listen to that don’t think everything else will be like that. Just like she did here, she pulls Bohemian Rhapsody completely to pieces and rebuilds it. It won’t be like any Bohemian Rhapsody you’ve heard before, but she’s not gone for shock value, it will be of a; oh like that moment. Queen liked it BTW.

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 ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!

Rusty Shackleford knows what he is talking about. Angelina happens to be my favorite singer. I am subscribing because if given the chance Angelina will give you everything you are asking for and more. See you next time Adam, you are in for a treat. Thumbs up

Yes she and Dimash are the best in the planet ... she is a prodigy and incredible singer with an old soul keep reacting !!!

In this particular performance, she is following the version of "Screamin" Jay Hawkins which was very out there (check it out). This style is very rare for Angelina. She is the contrary of showy, gimmicky performances type of artist. She's a natural jazz singer although she can sing the phone book and it will sound amazing, lol. As you listen to more of her performances you'll realize that. Three recommendations for you to fathom Angelina's amazing voice and style: "Summertime" her finale song at Norway's Got Talent at 8 years kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKKkqNV8fq7gdso.html "It's a Mans World" live (12 years old) kzread.info/dash/bejne/enmhmdaAos2ve84.html and Adele's "When We Were Young" and "Shield" her original composition live (13 years old) kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3x7tdWqgbLZZaw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6x6pKmvirOnhdI.html Take into account these last two are fan recordings, not edited, nor professional.

Great review. I like how you broke it down, and how you recounted your reaction, including technical points, as well as personal impressions. Ya, I was shocked too, when I heard this young lady for the first time. Somehow, she gives these classic tunes some fresh energy, and I don't think it's just that she's so young. I think her tone is really great, and she makes interesting and creative choices, and like you said, it seems to just materialize with ease from her mouth. It'll be very interesting to see where she goes, which direction, and so forth, particularly in this era when the recording industry seems to be a shadow of its former self, and obviously, live performances are even more rare.

Read Rustys comments, he has the low down on this gift of Angelina!

Angelina is SUPERNATURAL

The growls and performance you see here are at 7 years old. She is now 14 and has come a long way even though she was fantastic then. She has over 125 covers and originals on KZread spanning The seven years. Almost all of them emphasize the singing rather than the performance, including Bohemian Rhapsody which you mentioned, and was done recently. For you, it will be jaw-dropping!

She was 9 doing this.

That is the way the song was written and sung originally by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956. (Its his picture on the coffee cup she shows at the beginning). She was charting all the way up to her performance. Often I see people expect the Creedence Clearwater version.

Congratulations with passing 3000 followers, Adam! 🥰

To really understand the ingenuity of this cover, you need to see the Screaming Jay Hawkins version. This version is a tribute to him much more than the Nina Simone version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2V1p8Gbc9K2g6w.html I am both a huge Aurora fan and a massive Angelina follower. Angelina has a thousand voices. She is a force to be reconed with. Listen to the origina SJH version and see if that changes your view, and do more Angelina! Don't stop your Aurora train though. Love it!

uneffinbelievable!!!!!!!!! fabulous

I would say she chose the Screaming Jay Hawkins version but as usual did her own version. Having watched Angelina since Norway's got Talent, this 75 year old great grandmother is completely mesmerized by the humility, graciousness and talent of this young lady ♥

You just let Rusty guide you, will enjoy this yourney with you, you will just love Angi 😘

Great reaction! No matter how many times I watch this, that screech kills me all the time 😂😂😂 but you will not hear this voice in any other of Angelina's videos.

Yessss, that scream! I keep wondering why more people don't say much about it. I can't get enough of her singing this as a nine year old. Angelina sang it again a couple of years later, but I love this version far more.

I'm very happy you reacted to Angelina, she is amazingly talented, she cover a lot of songs in many different styles and always put her own spin on it. She has 3 originals that can be found on KZread, the one I like a lot is "Shield". So many good things to say about Angelina and a lot is already said in others comments ;o) To me she is the princess of Jazz and I'm following her since her first Norways got talent audition popped out on KZread, 6 or 7 years ago. It would be nice to have a reaction on her Norways got talent journey, here is a link of a 10 minutes video with all songs she performed during the contest. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWaWupNupLyshs4.html It is nice to discover a new artist starting by the beginning ;o) Thank you for your reaction, you made my day. Stay safe and take care.

The vocalizations by themselves are astounding. She did that between the other stuff, as if to relax.

Hi, I cannot believe this little girl picked this song and to sing it in Screaming Jay Hawkins from the 50's style, what little girl picks this song and sing it like that I think it's incredible this was not thought the grouls that was her you can't teach someone to do that! Thank you for your reaction!❗💜
