I was really impressed with the guitarist. IMHO a perfect performance.

It is incredible how tender she still sounds and at this age gosh adorable and sooo skilled. Wow

Thanks for your reaction to this amazing performance by the Barefoot Angel. There are no more words to describe the musical talent of her except ‐ Angelina thank you for your unique and angelic voice.

I think you are ready for this, at 16. In less than 1 mo, Over 1 million KZread views (released June 22, 2022) ❗️Angelina starts off with the bridge, completely different than anyone else; and then, begins with the opening line of the song. Her Beehive hairdo is an homage to Priscilla…Many photographs of her hair, exactly like that. And a Leather outfit he later wore. The guitar is the Elvis‘s 1968 “Comeback” Guitar! Rob Christe actually owns this. The two young children are her cousins, her Uncle Michael’s children, the older girl is her sister Juliette. She even had a framed photo of Elvis, at this location. Rob Christie on piano ok.🌺

Played at full volume you really feel the richness of this performance, how her voice blends with the guitar and creates a solid soundscape. Thanks for the tips about Nancy Sinatra's version. I'll go and check hers out and compare.

I think you would really enjoy her vedio of I who have nothing. She was 6 years old. She's amazing. In studio.

Amazing Angelina

Simply another case of Angelina taking a song and making it into a Masterpiece! Great in-depth reaction.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Ahh this one is new to me! As usual: WOW. Even back at 8 years old she's easily good enough to sing the main theme for a Bond movie. And that's putting it mildly. Angelina's singing is straight up other worldly.

Love all the reactions you have on Angelica Jordan , you're great , love to hear your reaction on the song "Born to Die" that she did , its my favorite on how she did it , ty.

Great reaction. Looking forward to Summertime.

Thanks for doing these in order; seen them many times but your excited reaction and comments are making them so enjoyable to come back to once again. I've never experienced a journey like the one watching Angelina's development from 6 to 16, nothing and nobody compares at present.

Can't wait for Summer Time! You are one of my favorite Angelina reactors. It has been said she has many parts in her music that is pure ear candy, but her attention to the small things is equally stunning, at any age!

Jeff, Angelina took Nancy's song and made it her own, as she does to every song that she covers. Angelina's version of "Summer Time" is no exception just a wonderful rendition of the original Artist "Billie Holiday".

The best cover of this masterpiece, really These "2" teeth are a masterpiece that she was able to sing so beautifully 😜😜

Angelina 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

When you hear her sing 'Summertime' you are going to say, 'Now how does she do that?!!' She hears things that I doubt I would ever hear. All of it a learning process. Somehow in that brain of hers she had reasoned out that if you sang like the stars you will become one. She has come a long way, has developed her own voice which is as distinctive and beautiful as any of those she tried on over the years. When I heard her sing Adele's 'Love Is A Game' on TikTok I said to myself, 'there it is that's her voice.' Nothing I've heard since has changed my mind. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f657p9xyqcLacaw.html Angelina at 16 cover of Adele's 'Love Is A Game'

"Bang, Bang" was Cher's song originally. Nancy Sinatra covered it and made it more famous. Then, if you take the "elevator" about ten more stories up the music building, you'll find a little 8-year old girl named Angelina Jordan making it her own!

Hi there - you are in for such a treat.... going up from ngt in chronological order is like a time flow from unbeliaveble Talent to worldwide superstardom - if you put out a song every week in 4 years at age 20 she will be what we want her to be since her childhood - known to everybody as best female Artists ever period

I can't wait to hear your reaction to Summertime.

musical genius at 8 yrs old. Nuts then, still nuts now. Nancy sounds flat and bored compared to AJ :). You'll LOVE Summertime, without spoiling it: spine tingling notes

There is a version of this that includes an intro package. Part of that video shows 7 year old Angelina visiting a jazz music store where she dons headphones to "listen" to some vinyl. You can sense her concentration and absorbsion of what she hearing just watching her body language.

you have a great ear mate and a really succinct way of explaining what you hear and what you imagine the judges and audience may be thinking, i watched this video a few years ago and i could watch it in 50 yrs and i am sure i would feel the same way about it, there isn't much music i could say that about. Anyway i liked and subscribed today, i like your work.

👍👍 Just a little fun fact; Omar one of the judges said in a interview after this show,, when she was rehearsing this song he snuck in to watch and the way that Angelina was instructing the gatarplayer on how she wanted him to play and the way she commanded the rehearsal,, he knew at that point that Angelina was going to be something really special,, but what was funny she was so nice about her wishes as she calls them,,, 👣🌬🌎

david Just a little addition to the backstory of what you write about: The judges were discussing whether she was merely a great mimic or a true artist. When they became aware of the event you describe, they realized she was the real deal.

thank you for your post and astute observation

After you're done with those songs can you please keep reacting to her songs when she is a bit older? to me her covers between ages 10 to 13 are magical.

If you listen to her earliest studio recordings at age 6 and then compare these NGT recordings at 7 and 8... you have to wonder or be intrigued by just what happened or who was mentoring her during this time. This seems to be a period of lightning quick advancement.

👍😎

Angie sang this again in July but did not achieve the mood that was set when she was 8 years old. Technically, Angelina is a top singer, no question, but with age comes sophistication and it is easy to lose the wonderful rawness of innocence.

Subscribed as I'm enjoying the AJ ride.

Hi Jeff .. absolute agree .. like one said .. " There is Talent .. and there is Angelina Jordan .." .. She's the Truth for sure .. .. and be prepared for "Summertime" .. I think you should do a barefeet reaction .. because that Performance would blow your Socks of ..

Excellent reaction to The Little Angel, Bearfoot Princes, Singing Angel of a 1,000 Voices, God Bless!

Listen to her in studio at 6 yrs old singing I Who Have Nothing

The song was written for Cher by Sonny Bono. Nancy Sinatra covered it shortly thereafter and immortalized it. Until Angelina covers it spectacularly. 💯 *AJ* 💯

Yes, It’s clear that Angelina is very familiar with the original recordings of what she chooses to sing. I’m old enough to remember and love the versions of both Cher and Nancy Sinatra, but Angelina’s take differs from those. She has the ability, even at this age, to change the emotion even though she’s singing the same lyrics. Her ability to inhabit those melancholy themes has been with her from the start, and her version expresses that sadness better, in my opinion, than the earlier recordings. And also, the maturity of this arrangement, the restraint she shows in her vocals, the signature low register, the slowed tempo-they all meld so effectively. As you listen to more, you’ll see that the Girl with a Thousand Voices is only a slight exaggeration.

Thanks for your lovely reaction. Her next Song is her Winner Song. She pulled the Summertime to the Norwegian Winter ❄️ Amazing 💕💃A great Songchoice ✌️

Thanks for another insightful and enjoyable reaction Jeff. One of the most rewarding aspects of listening to Angelina sing is her complete attention to detail, and the nuance and sophistication of her performances. You see it here at the age of 8 with Bang, Bang, and you will see it again with her performance of Summertime in the NGT finale. I have listened to a number of other recordings of this song, including Nancy Sinatra's most famous version and Cher's original recording of it, and no other singer IMO comes close to expressing the compelling emotion and gravity of the song like Angelina does. I also love the interplay between her voice here and the guitar, which you will hear again between her voice and the trumpet in Summertime. Her voice is so pure at times it sounds to me like another musical instrument in itself.

This was my introduction to Angelina and I was enthralled from the first moment. Her performances on that show simply blew me away - the subtlety, the musicality and the confidence. - and the VOICE! I've been enthralled ever since 😎

Course now you have to do Summertime her Final from NGT.

Looking forward to hearing more from Angelina haha. Her Whitney Houston cover is absolutely heart melting! 😭 💖

Yes, all those little details. And here at age 16, she is still amplifying those details. I just love her. People who "worry" out loud about her appeal to an older audience and what that means for her career are underestimating the power of her Spirit combined with her true musical intelligence, artistry, and heart to connect with those who will be the helpers along the path. Perhaps such "worry" is actually a put-down. 💜

Yes exactly. I picked up on the micro inflections and was so amazed. That sweet angelic child up on a raised platform just as she deserves. Loved to reaction

Thanks for this reaction! I love your observations: very interesting! About anyone can sing this song: the melody and the notes to hit are not very hard. What is difficult is to make something relatively easy interesting and Angelina did not just make it interesting, she captivated and mesmerized jury and audience. Each ‘Bang bang’ was a little different in tone, voice use, timing etc. She indeed made a big jump in comparison to the previous two performances. One thing I found notable was how subdued she kept her vibrato: there was some vibrato but much less than in her other performances. Already at the ripe age of 8 she is able to turn such techniques off and on as she wants. Since you love details and are going for Summertime next: she followed largely the version done by Ella and Louis. Two details, just after the three minute break she very quietly says ‘don’t you say no’ (as if the Ella and Louis track is playing in her head) and also the second ‘and your daddy is rich’ goes high like Ella did it.

Hi, I haven’t contact you lately because I watch most videos on the tv. Nevertheless I still enjoy your reactions on the younger Angelina. I think you are spot on to her attention to details. What I mostly enjoy is voice to have a person who actually sings is especially good these. She has many videos when she younger where sound really good. Now she sounds really good. But, she has worked really hard to be where she is now. I think big thanks to her grandmother who I feel nurture her when she was younger. People always say can’t wait to hear how she will sound when in 20’s 30’s etc. I say let’s enjoy her sound now. Tomorrow is not promised. Let’s stop rushing life and enjoy today. It seems to me you enjoy to hear her singing which is enjoyable to me. Any Angelina you cover I will enjoy!! Thank you!!

Angelina has such a great "ear" for music and with her gift also for recasting classics I can't help but speculate if she will one day produce music for other artists.

Great job. It's as though Angelina has a massive repository of music in her head that she can refer to and draw from at will, sometimes to incorporate, sometimes to adjust. She is remarkable on a bunch of levels. After Summertime, you should stick with her younger self a bit longer and step back to her 6yo studio presentation of Tom Jones' "I Who Have Nothing". In the space of three minutes, we see Angelina evolve from tentative to confident. It is a testament to how quickly she learns and grows in all things music!

I love your reaction Jeff. Your sense of awe can be seen on your face - that same sense we all felt when first encountering Angelina’s uniquely beautiful voice. As a matter of fact, that same sense of awe hasn’t abated… even after hearing Angelina almost daily for the last six years. Keep discovering more of Angelina… we’ll keep watching. 😉👍 🖤👣

Yes, when Angelina when hears a song she hears every little detail and knows how to reproduce it and a the same time add her own angel touch and tamp on it. AJ is like no other singer, at any age, when it comes to covering any artist song out there, past or present.

Oooooh, this *instantly* takes me back to the Kill Bill films, some of my favourite films. Ever! Nostalgia is noice! 👌🏼 I’ve been listening to a fair bit of Angelina here because of you haha! 🤩

THANK YOU #3 - (in our journey through all 4 of Angelina's Norway Got Talent performances :) Another great reaction to another masterful performance by Angelina.You definitely picked up on Angelina's ability to embody each song she sings to maximize the deep feelings she is able to emote. Can't wait for your reaction to Summertime (& that includes some more feedback from the judges). Not to get ahead of ourselves, but following NGT Angelina had some noteworthy performances at age 8. Two of my favorites: What A Difference A Day Makes at a Norway outdoor summer music festival - & her US debut on The View singing Fly Me To The Moon. That performance also includes a short interview in which Angelina answers the question as to how old she was when she started singing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

Hi Jeff, I have now heard your three reactions to Angelina's first three songs. She learned from the old artists of the 40's, 50's, 60's. But you're right, she can't have learned anything. And that is her understanding of the emotions. It is extraordinary that a child of that age understands so well the sometimes complex feelings that another artists tries to express in their singing and can then express herself in the songs. In another reaction I heard that Angelina is not a star but a genius. A genius like Mozart was. I think that's a very good way of expressing Angelina's talent. The second song "I'm A Fool To Want You" was acapella. She didn't even have all her teeth. And then this performance. You can express with your knowledge what I can only hear. I have no idea about music. I just enjoy the music. Through your analysis and explanations, I understand a lot of things I could only feel before. I felt that this is something special. Thanks a lot for this. And in this song (Bang-Bang) you didn't recognize her voice. At the age of 7 she already had the ability to adapt her voice to the respective song. Only a year or two later she arranged the songs herself and then adapted her voice to this arrangements. Angelina's style was born. At least that's how I understand it. Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany

While AJ is channeling Nancy here the song was written for Cher by Sonny who sang it first. When I first heard AJ sing I Who Have Nothing, I could tell she was copying Tom Jones even though I didn't know the song, it is in the details..

Its not a Nancy Sinatra song, its a Cher song/ Bang bang was written for Cher by her then husband Sonny Bono and released by Cher in March 1966. Nancy Sinatra covered it in May of 1966. Since and up until present day there have been 89 singing covers the latest being July 2022 by Caroline Polachek. There have also been 11 instrumental covers and numerous foreign language covers. Angelina is becoming the best of her generation. I don't know what song she cannot sing.
