Angelina just did a concert in Vegas on 2-29-24. She did 2 concerts back to back the same did. They allowed camera phones to post all of the songs for all of us to watch. She is 18 in these videos You will be blown away.

Love your reaction to Angelina. She is protected by her family. She was born to heal the world thru song, IMO. God has given her the tools she needs.

The girl is otherworldly… she is a musical genius the likes of Mozart. There is something different about her… something special. She is, (in my humble opinion), the best vocalist in the world. Maybe of all time. She is truly incredible.

Possibly the best explanation of "how" of this A.J. phenomenon.

I think Angelina is an empath with an innate understanding of emotion, and has mastered the ability to communicate emotion - from her heart to ours.

I am letting you know that this girl has an addictive voice. I can't stop listening to her. Every day.

Lady of the Dragons, since I came across a video of Angelina Jordan a year ago, not a single day has gone by that I haven't seen 4, 5 performances of her per day. You get hooked on this extraordinary artist.

Appreciate your comment about protecting her at all costs !

Her composure when the camera comes in from the side purely professional. She grew up listening to jazz because that was what her grandmother listened to.

For someone with very limited exposure to Angelina, you did a remarkable job of trying to explain the way she exudes emotions that she has hopefully never experienced at her age. Reactors have been trying to figure out the mystery behind her abilities. Angelina speaks 3-4 languages and is a musical prodigy who has been doing her own arrangements since she was 8. I truly believe she is on some, if not all, levels a genius. I truly believe she has a deeper understanding of the lyrics to the songs she performs than what would seem normal for her age. You haven't experienced enough of her performances to understand this, but one commenter said she is not only a songwriter but a song-righter. Some have suggested she is an empath, but one thing is for sure she doesn't just sing she emotes. Enjoy your journey with Angelina. some have said a daily dose of Angelina is the best medicine in the world, and I for one agree.

Thank you so much for your comment! I honestly spent a lot of time thinking about her abilities after hearing the first song and this one just kind of started to help my crystalize my thoughts into something I could articulate (or at least sort of articulate in an understandable way lol). I will have to keep listening and watching her performances with the idea of her being "not only a songwriter but a song-righter" in mind!

Rest Reaction Molly E s out of this world So Special Frances from Scotlandxx

Your struggle to understand the way in which Angelina can connect with the message of a song and communicate it anew to listeners irrespective of her own experiences is one of her many mysteries. As such it has perplexed many.

The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is easily explained as the best, most versatile, and complete young singer we can listen to today. No need to hurry, I'm sure Angelina has good people around her. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 600 Million Views on KZread and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via KZread. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years I know that we will see great things from Angelina. If you need to identify who she sound like, I can tell you that she has 1000 different voices to choose from, depending on the song choice and type .. It's Angelina. Thank you for reaacing to the diamond vocals

I believe that all Angelina's loyal fans grapple with the fundamental mystery. What is it that makes her so good, not just good, phenomenal, how did it happen? It can't be lived experience, so she is tapping into the music itself. Music is imbued with feeling and she has developed the vocal and performative tools to express and communicate that feeling in a way few others have done. She has an unbelievable ear for the nuances of jazz and the ability to bring them into her performances. If your instinct is to gravitate to songs and musical genres you know and love then do that. You really can't go wrong, Angelina covers the gamut and will amaze you every time. I'll be watching, your reactions are terrific.

angelina has said she goes to a place in her head ,thinks about the music and has a good time. she says the place is endless and a happy place. i believe that is why she is always laughing at end of some of her songs. thanks so much...

Go back to the beginning, Angelina Jordan, Norway got talent, all performances.

Thank you for taking the time to read through the comments and learn all about Angelina. I think it adds a little something extra when you listen to her just knowing what a beautiful soul she has. As far as how she 'relates' to some of the songs she sings.... I think that she sings them from her own perspective. So for example, a song that was originally written as a statement of love to a bf/gf, she (at 8, 10) years old was interpreting the "love" in the song as a the love of a child for her mother, or grandmother. It's the only way I can explain it. You just can't fake the feeling she puts into her performances. It has to be coming from within. She has to be making that connection somehow. The amazing thing is, that by her making her own personal connections to these songs, she has brought new meaning to old songs. There are songs that I have heard my whole life, and never really understood them until this little girl from Norway explained them to me properly. BTW: I like that you are listening with headphones too. She puts so much subtle details on her vocals, and headphones are the best way to hear them. The two you have done so far (this and 'spell') are both a little more in your face, but just wait until you get to some of her softer stuff. I recommend "Stay", "Million Year Ago"... there's just so many... pick anything from her cover channel and you are going to land on a winner.

Stay healthy please! You are a fantastic reactor. Your easy going manner and insightful thoughts and analyzes are much appreciated. Keep up the good work for there are so many more songs for you to explore, over 140! You hit up on a universal and existential point when you talk about Angelina's being able to evoke emotion. In addition to her pure talent Angelina brings two very unique abilities to her music. Firstly, she is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices. She can adjust Her style, register, tone, and pitch to any song or artist she is covering. You can't just love Angelina's voice. You must love her voices. As you go through different types of songs you will hear different voices for sure. Angelina also has the ability as you say to elicit emotion in her listeners based on events in the lyrics that she has never experienced. She has read quite a lot we understand since she was little so has absorbed information about The human condition. She understands what feelings are although she may not understand them specifically to a situation. Regardless, she can create those emotions very accurately strongly. To witness a couple of other songs where emotion is important on full display, check these out. A million years ago by Adele Born to Die by Lana Del Rey All I Ask by Adele I'd rather be blind by Etta James Are You lonesome Tonight by Elvis Presley You will notice some of her vocal changes here as well. Just a quick note regarding your noticing the reason for no shoes in her humanitarian spirit, she is also donated millions of dollars to children's charities since winning Norway's Got Talent. She is a very special individual to be cherished and very inspiring. I look forward to more of your amazement!

Molly, I love your reactions and your heart. I understand just what you mean. So many fans of Angelina cry when she sings or smiles or looks sad. Myself included. Why? It is a profound connection deep down in the heart. When you feel it, you know it - perhaps a heart memory from lifetimes past...

It has always seemed to me that Angelina, being exposed to jazz classics at such a young age, learned/perceives music on a different level. As if she understands and expresses emotions through the nuances of the voice- raspiness, musicality... she exudes the sentiment of the songs she performs.

Hi there jolly Molly :-) This is the first time I see your channel, and after having seen your reaction I instantly subscribed. I think this was just a wonderful way of describing what Angelina does and does to you. This is exactly what we all feel, and hence is the reason why we love her so much. The fact that her fanbase covers ALL age groups really speaks to that. I'm sorry to hear about your healt issues, but you seem to be incredibly positive and sweet regardless. Mad respect to you for that ! Where should you go next with Angelina ? Personally, I think you should start with the beginning. She made a studio recording at the age of 6 (one year before she won Norway's Got Talent), covering "I Who Have Nothing". Then I firmly think you should continue with her Norway's Got Talent performances. This will all set a firm base for you to even better understand what and who Angelina is. After that, maybe you should jump to her newer stuff, and/or go to one of her originals (there are 5 of them at this stage). Then you still have like 130 covers by her (recorded when she was 12 and 13 years old), spanning through all genres, where eventually it will dawn on you why we call her The girl with the thousand voices. Anywho, here is the link for "I Who Have Nothing" : kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJ6FvK17oLnHldY.html Stay safe Molly, and take care. I can't wait to watch your next reaction. Very much love and respect coming your way from Norway ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your awesome reaction, Molly. I'm a 66 year old male, 60/70's rock upbringing, but I'll tell you what? A fan of Angelina's for almost a year now and honestly? She is one of my top 5 female vocalist, spanning decades and pretty close to my number 3. Lol, my top two are going to be hard to beat. Please stay well, take care of yourself and looking forward to future reactions. One request.

At first I thought, wow an Angelina wig! But, then I heard why. Let me just say that was a brilliant reaction video, one of the best in fact. Thank you. Looking forward to more, all in good time.

Going the jazz route, her own song 7th heaven live in studio should be next. This is her at 15, so recent.

Angelina is on of a kind,and she sings like a adult in this performance,so professional,10 years old,great react.

Absolutely love your insight and comments Molly to this young genius singer. You are correct that Angelina has the ability to embody the songs she chooses to sing, and yes, she selects the songs and music that she wants to do. The songs and music that she does select to sing are wonderful classic songs from Decades and decades ago which is definitely part of her upbringing and exposure to the bygone era of great music especially from her Grandma. Not only is her selection of music impressive but also her brilliance in bringing the songs back in a new original arrangement that makes them new again. This young lady is pure class, humble and caring and it shows each time she performs. Her love of singing with her unmatched vocal ability is a gift to all of us that appreciate the great artists and music of bygone era's. Her new music, that she has composed shows her talent with writing also, as it conveys a message of hope to all. Sorry for the long diatribe but really appreciate your support of this young artist and hope you will continue to do so. You have a New Sub, and hope you stay well Molly.

She sings in the first person. When she sings, she is the song.

I'll keep it short and sweet....I love your reactions/analysis and, if I may say, I think you look great.

She steps into the depths of every song she does, and she also steps into your soul and takes you with her. She is a once in 2 lifetime's singer and we are sooo fortunate to be here for the ride. Super reaction!💯

You will be saying "that's my new favorite" alot in the near future. Angelina's interpretations are "the soul of the song." I like that way of putting it, thank you.

I think you have hit on a point very clearly that Angelina embodies the song. Her unique interpretation of it with all her vocal nuances brings a new sensation to us listeners. It is evident that the musicians with her are performing to their best too.

She is a Time Machine that takes you back to a more elegant time.

You aren't rumbling, you are explaining yourself just fine. Indeed, you are being quite insightful in your reaction. Thank you much for your insights on Angelina's performance, and the soul and emotion she transmits.

Angelina hits you with her voice right in the heart and soul. There is no turning back now ..... it doesn't matter which song you listen to Angelina next, you have become an angel and you are listening to perhaps the best singer of our time. ❤️

Thanks Molly, you are becoming a special reactor to Angelina. Very glad you discovered her! Let’s enjoy this together!!

I have to say, that after only 2 reactions, you have become a favorite Angelina reactor. Angelina said once that when she sings, she goes in to a magical place. I feel, as others have said, that Angelina becomes the song. This young lady sings with more feeling and emotion than any other singer I've heard in my 66 years. "That" is one of the things I love about your reactions. I can see how much you are enjoying the songs, just by looking at your face. That said, I think the path you should follow in reacting to future songs should be to go with the ones that you love the most, and then follow suggestions made by your subscribers. Thanks again for another wonderful reaction and sharing your thoughts. 🙏 Here's hoping Angelina brings you as much happiness as she brings most of us.

It's unbelievable how she owns the stage, the band, the audience and the camera. I'd definitely recommend her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT.

I agree, that this is one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard.. It's classic and perfect and the smile she gives the cameraman as he's right up in her face is priceless. Angelina is unique, in my experience, unflappable, elegant and perfect.

Thank you again for reacting to Angelina ! It's so much appreciated ! Her jazz infused background allows her to sing such songs so well ! She understands the songs completely and her soul is definitely in tune with these songs ! All artists are influenced by other artist naturally by listening and bringing their vocal qualities to her voice ! I agree she is young and hasn't experienced most of what the songs are about ! But she certainly is very capable of transferring their meaning with unbelievable emotion and committment so naturally it's uncanny ! Even at this young age she sings like an experienced professional eventhough her voice still developing ! She uses all her vocal abilities completely in every song ! If you close your eyes and just listen to the song you would never expect to see a young child when you opened your eyes ! Her voice is so mature for her age ! I would suggest you listen to her at 13 with Bohemian Rhapsody from AGT the champions ! This was an absolute masterpiece. and will blow your mind for sure ! She is 15 now and her own songs "Million Miles and 7th Heaven " live in the studio are so fantastic ! So many songs to react to ! Thank you for your wonderful and honest comments ! Angelina would be so proud knowing she has another You Tube supporter ! Enjoy the ride and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️

I can't begin to explain how Angelina can understand the "soul"of a song at her age, but you have correctly identified one of her most unique talents. Yes, she's technically an amazing singer, but she can convey emotions better than almost any seasoned professional vocal artist -- and has done so almost since birth. You'll find her first televised performances on Norway's Got Talent to be further evidence of her remarkable talents: Gloomy Sunday (a Billie Holiday cover), I'm a Fool to Want You (another BH cover, but sung a capella), Bang Bang (a Nancy Sinatra cover), and finally, Summertime (Gershwin). Enjoy your journey into Angelina's World!

Believe me, all of us know exactly what you're saying. She lives the songs.

This girl is incredible!!

You look fab.........no problem.......like your positiveness. And I cried ....tears of joy.... I think Angelina was born with Empathy. I also believe her Grandma helped her to understand and how to research each song she sings.

So nice to see you back so soon Molly. You`ve made a very nice choice for your secon reaction to Angelina. Thank you for great comment. You make perfect sence to me, as we all see and hear that Angelina is capable of bringing all of the emotions in any song she sings, to such a clarity, she makes the song stand out almost like a new song to us. A great example of this would be her version of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak. Even that song of course all about relations unfamiliar to her as a young child. She still make us feel like it was written for her, or even by her. She does to that song what she does to several others, as she simplefies and often slow down the song, and give space for all of the emotions she feels belong to the song, the lyrics and det music. I`ll send you a link for the song. To me this is a must listen. Simply one of her absolute masterpices. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z311r6htdqfMp5c.html This is a fan-made vide. Angelina on the piano as well.

Wonderful reaction. You may have set a “getting Angelina” speed record. 18 months for me and I’m still out on the track, several laps behind. For me it’s always been about her ability to connect with a song, inhabit it, feel the emotion and then connect with the lister, conveying that emotion on a ground floor level. And all the brilliant and effortlessly executed vocal techniques she uses to do that. But you said that and added several more layers off depth. It was impressive for a second listen. As for where to go next, please do not feel the obligation to get caught up in a strict order of reacting, chronological or otherwise. The great thing about Angelina‘s repertoire is that there are all kinds of different little pockets to explore, different genres, different time periods, originals versus covers, jazz versus other genres etc. One of her most iconic performances at least before she started putting out originals and covers under Republic Records was her America’s Got Talent, Champions, version of Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s breathtaking. But she’s got five original songs out now, two of them in the past six months. Her vocals keeps getting better and better. Of the ones not mentioned, some of my favorites are - Every time you say goodbye - Summertime (my personal favorite is the KORK version) - Cry Me a River (this - m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIpsqquPfJW8dKg.html - version, I’m not a fan fan of the version with the military band for this song though I am a fan of pretty much everything else yes she has done with them), - Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey), - I will survive (mind blowing vocals) - It’s a Man’s World (devastating power) - I’m Still Holding Out for You (devastatingly powerful emotion, incredible maturity, a studio recording with Baby FuzZ of his original song) Any of her originals, especially: - Shield (Skavlan version) and her two most recent ones, - Million miles and - 7th Heaven - (and What is Life and Oslo, her first two, also, lol!) - and the list just keeps going on. For special “significance” in her career, it would be Bohemian Rhapsody and the 5 that came after it. Oh, and her NGT performances. Just pick something from one of our lists (or Rusty’s master list) that you would like to hear.

Best singer on earth. Period.

You are a lovely person. We know that Mozart wrote his first concerto at five years old. His first full opera at what 12 or 13? Many of us believe that this is the same sort of thing found in Angelina. A very rare thing. For me, an aging cynic that has heard and seen everything as far as music goes, this young woman literally changed my life with her music and goodness. No longer so cynical. No small feat. Enjoy your journey.

Beyond all the superlatives, there's something else going on. She's empathic in all it's forms, and she can emote that empathy, it can be very therapeutic for the listener. A lot of people say they listen to her and feel better, even if it's a sad song, somehow she makes it OK. My heart goes out to her and I hope she finds fulfillment in all she does.

For me the version of Nina Simone will stay the greatest of all time - because of her background, all the struggles, her fight for civil right and against racism, all the suffering and so on. So Nina was singing this in spite of it all, and by doing so, she made it a strong powerful emotional message. And I suppose, Angelina feels similar about it, because she took major parts of Ninas version for her rendition of this song. And she is doing it justice.

❤️ your reaction 👍🙂

Since this is two years old, I'm really not sure you will read this. But if you do, I pray you are doing better health wise. Ms Angelina IS music and I love every thing she does. Please be well.

There’s no wrong way to select from the many songs Angelina has recorded. You’ll see that she is outstanding at any age and across many genres. Hard to believe, but that’s true. Jazz is Angelina’s first love, and you always get her version of the song as you did today. Angelina, even very young, combines her uniquely mature voice with incredible innate musicality-and then adds in the ability to interpret adult lyrics openly and authentically. You’d probably love Summertime that she sang at 8 in her Norway’s Got Talent performances. It’s real jazz-her own arrangement. Or to skip to the present, watch her original, Seventh Heaven, where 15 year old Angelina gives us old school jazz with an infectious rhythm and shades of Amy Winehouse. And, as someone else suggested, her cover of Etta James’ I’d Rather Go Blind is 60’s soul on steroids and will show you why Angelina is known as the girl with 1,000 voices. Just start listening. She is the best singer I’ve ever heard.

AJ brings a specific emotional aspect to each and every performance. Her covers are better than the originals bcos of it. By going back to her beginnings you’ll see that she has absorbed a song’s intent and gives it the AJ flavor. The breath of her capabilities to do this in so many genres is beyond most imaginations. And she does it with understated simplicity and an undying humility. Who else can kill Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis all from sitting at their sofa?

Fantastici Angelina and i love so much your reaction, Thanks so much.

Thanks, Molly. This was a great reaction and discussion about a complex young woman delivering a performance that most artists could ever deliver. When the camera is pulled back, the breathtaking reality hits. There is a band of seasoned musicians highlighting the singing of a 10 year old before a large audience. And she did the equivalent many times before a pandemic stopped things cold. I could not agree more that this is because, as you point out, she can feel and do things that we are unable to really understand. Again, thanks and I hope you feel better.

Peter Hormell Great reaction and summary. You pose many good questions about Angelina’s ability to “inhabit” a song. Beyond her music, there is much fascinating information available about her including actual quotes from Angelina that reveal that she is a true empath. This absolutely comes through in her most poignant masterpieces, both original songs and covers. ❤️ I look forward to your reactions to them.

"Playing with the tempo.." I've said it often, her musical timing rivals Frank's and together with him stands above everyone else. She is never "off", although she rarely follows traditional phrasing. She places the notes exactly where she wants them to be. Or to borrow a phrase, she does it her way. ✌️😉

I like that one little moment when she looks directly at the camera

Thanks for your thoughtful reaction. You’ve gone down this fascinating and rewarding “Rabbit Hole” and you won’t regret it. I look forward to your next AJ reaction. Take your pick, you can’t go wrong.

In listening to your reaction commentary regarding Angelina’s ability to convey the emotional soul of the songs she sings…I agree completely…and this ability is so evident in almost every performance from 2014 to the present. For me I just quit thinking about her age and concentrated on the auditory stories she tells in every performance, some songs over and over and over again. Emotional content is never boring and Angelina’s performances are almost ALWAYS filled with the emotions of the “soul” of the song! Thanks for your reaction!

About Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: she has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at an early age. Mery is a famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also a child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by the age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at the Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. Sadly Angelina's grandfather died in 2018. There is a nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in a home setting: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m22C2rpppLbQg5M.html ---- Mery also has a KZread channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: kzread.info/dron/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by an insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under the artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery also illustrated the book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and had published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became the youngest published author in Norway. The book is based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with a shoeless girl. A podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, a Norwegian author and poet and friend of the family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with the little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that the little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in the talk, we hear small extracts from the book. This book should be put on a children's reading list: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKRqy65yaJy2j5s.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as a 10-year old: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKKi3MSdpJfFgqg.html) ---- When You're Smiling (as an 11-year old. This is fun video that starts out with Angelina missing school attendance in her classroom. She is riding a bike and comes across a sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch the video to see what happens next: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lICpsLNvo5rMc7Q.html) ---- Shield (Angelina wrote this song at 12-years old. Mery did an artistic video of Angelina performing Shield at 13-years old: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2yDpcR6nNXFZJs.html. Note that in my opinion the best performance of this song was by Angelina as a 12-year old on the very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): kzread.info/dash/bejne/noWot8SPe8WWptY.html) [Side Note: In the interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into an endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that the song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said the song's sound was inspired by the Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings a few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that a highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like a 12 year old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2uczLmgZLfVgrQ.html]

Angelina’s greatest strength is her ability to connect into the emotions of a song and then copy it if it is a cover version of somebody else’s material. Even as a very young girl she had this gift. Listen to her cover of Billie Holidays song gloomy Sunday. What has a seven year old girl common with a fifty year old drug addict whom have gone through a lot in her life? Nothing I think. However Angelina’s fine tune ear Spence the emotion and is able to copy it. I suspect that Angelina was born with perfect pitch. One in about ten thousand people has this ability. With her talent for singing it just have to be extremely good. She also have some more personal songs but that is a different story because then she can tap into her own feelings.

Yes, absolutely! This is what I was getting at for sure. Of course, she cannot have had the personal life experiences to fully grasp the meanings/purposes of that song when they were written - but she's able somehow to almost reach into the soul of the song through engaging with the original material and then also make it her own in a unique way. It's incredibly impressive. I will definitely be listening to/watching her Gloomy Sunday performance next!

Love Love Love your analysis of how Angelina touches us. I can’t get enough of her. I look forward to future Angelina reactions!

Hard to come up with words to express how you feel when watching her. She's just so talented

After this amazing performance she did a 3 full Sommer concert tour with a part of the musicians. Thanks to Boris her superfan to let us listen when she was 11y old. It was phantastic

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks for another insightful Angelina reaction Molly. As an Angelina fan the two things I look forward to most are new releases from Angelina and others discovering and reacting to her incredible work for the first time. You are definitely onto something special about Angelina when you say that she embodies and inhabits the song. To me Angelina is much more than a great singer, she is a uniquely gifted interpreter of music and lyrics. She lives and breathes the song and its message, and her passion shines through in every performance. There are of course many other remarkably talented singers, but none of them move me the way Angelina does. I don’t think you should feel obligated to follow any particular approach to discovering Angelina’s work. You chose Feeling Good for your second reaction because you really like the song, and to me that’s a great way to decide what songs to react to. Having said that, here are a few of my recommendations (in chronological order, with links). Lately KZread has been deleting my comments that include links (mistaking them for spam I believe), but I’m hoping these will stay (I think if you add one of those little hearts to a comment it does not get deleted).

Its nice to see a new reactor especially a good looking one.I wonder how long it will take you to become a super fan.After a few songs I was hooked and now can't get enough of her.Thanks for doing this.

Hi Molly, IMO you were spot on with the explanation of "how" she does it. She has said that she goes to a magical place when singing and I feel she is relating the lyrics to something that has touched her in some way. I personally love her song choices. It's just so unusual for someone so young to be able to deliver a song that touches you so deeply. I have always loved music but I have to admit that I don't put as much emphasis on the lyrics but when Angelina sings I pay very close attention to lyrics and somehow she knows exactly how to get me to pay attention. Her phrasing or stressing certain words or notes, I don't know but it works! I must say that your reactions to Angelina have been very well thought out and explained with complete respect and I very much appreciate it. I would suggest for the next review either "WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES, Allsang pa Grensen 2014"at 8 years old with a jazz band and back up singers at an outdoor venue with a huge audience, or, "EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE" on the roof of a TV station in Norway with only acoustic guitar. Thank you so much for a wonderful reaction Molly.

Well said, well read... Good for you! Welcome to the world of one of the world's best singers of all times... She is a serious blessing to this crazy world!!!

Very interesting reaction, I look forward to more Angelina. I recommend you pick a song you know & love already, then see what she did to make it her own. Of her 140 songs, they are all good, but about 100 are amazing & about 45 are vocal masterpieces, IMHO. You've heard 2 of the latter category.

Angelina is an empath, she can obviously understand and feel in her soul the emotions of others and then broadcast them back to us in her songs. I believe you should react to her two newest original songs that she has put out with her new record label deal with Republic Records, "Million Miles," and "7th Heaven" then go back on a journey with her past back to Norway's Got Talent when she was 7/8 years old, and then the many performances in between.

Almost 100 degrees and I'm getting chills.

Molly, you did very well offering your opinions about where Angelina is coming from. You are underestimating her, however, and that's okay. You haven't heard enough yet. She has about 6 originals already and all of them are terrific. And, over 125 covers. She covers all the classics and all the classic singers. The "joke" in the industry is that if Angelina decides to do a cover on your song it will probably be better than the original! She chooses the songs she wants to sing. She reads the lyrics and gets to know the song and the meaning of the message. She then decides to, perhaps, put emphasis on different words to tell a "better story" . And, she also determines if there are inappropriate passages in the song she changes the lyrics slightly. And, Molly, here's the killer. She's been doing this since she's nine years old. And, when she sings before a band or an orchestra she is able to tell them exactly what she wants. She plays several instruments herself. In interviews with musicians, they all praise her and none of them think of her as a young kid. She is an artist and the more you hear you will begin to understand why many people are regarding her as a musical genius. Molly, I know I go on and on so I'll stop here. But, please continue to enjoy her and you are right about her fans ("Angels"). We love her with all our heart and she is family to us. When she sings all her songs have different stories to tell and she reacts accordingly. But, there is one constant, her love pours out of her and goes straight to our hearts. No other artist has ever consistently touched us emotionally the way she does. I believe you will eventually agree she is a messenger of love.

As good as this is, the version from Allsang På Grensen is even better and worth a listen even if you don't react to it. She has a little more jazz in it and the final crescendo is spectacular. Your observation of her subtle jazz style of playing with the lyrical tempo, is so reminiscent of the great Frank Sinatra's style of walking the lyrics over the melody but in a way that is perfect. It is what made his style so incredible and hard for others to replicate because it has to be natural to sound right. She has so many of the stylings we've seen from the great ones all in one package.

Thank you Molly, so on point with your ‘resonating with the soul of the song’ is so entirely true of what Angie is doing with her artistry. It is deep and strikes our essence. You are fabulously articulating so well. I’d say splash a current original like ‘7th Heaven’ or from 2 or so years ago ‘What Is Life (acoustic)’ 🌹

I loved your explanation Molly, and I can tell you that we've all grappled with how she is able to resonant the emotion of these very adult songs with such passion. As one of her fans (Keith S.) put it, "she could make a rock cry". Of course, there's a lot of ways you can go about exploring Angelina's music history. But in order to get a good understanding of how she came onto the public scene, I suggest to listen to all 4 of her performances on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7/8. Here's a video (very good quality) that contains all four performances: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWaWupNupLyshs4.html Regrettably, it does not have subtitles, but you can tell by the judges reactions what is going on. The video also includes (at the end) her winning the show. After her audition went viral overnight with 5M views on YT, the judges were pretty sure they had something special here. I don't know what your pain is from, and I'm very sorry that you are having to experience it. But your persona glows with beauty, happiness and love. I'm very glad that I found you and that I will get to experience your "trip" with Angelina. xoxo 💕💕

@@MollyBeeReacts Hi Molly. I've been listening to Angelina reactors for several years now. There's kind of a mystical joy in watching someone discover this wonderful creature. I always try to make thoughtful and informed comments. And I will tell you there aren't many reactors who take the time to make thoughtful comments in return. Some give a ❤ but most just don't reply. When someone takes the time, as you did, to read my comments and reply to them, that person now has my respect and appreciation. And I'm confident that other fans feel the same. So you just entered that special, and pretty small, group of reactors I seek out and look forward to seeing more of. Much love to you Molly. 💕💕💕

@@MollyBeeReacts Do consider watching NGT videos with subtitles. There are a total of 4 short performances, that could probably be done two per reaction video.

Molly you should know that she is from a well-to-do family. After her win on Norway's Got Talent, the family allowed her, as she has had complete freedom to arrange and direct all of her music, to hire her own band and two gentlemen guitarists to accompany her occasionally on various covers. This cut is that band with several string members added. I would recommend that you react to her cover of "Born To Die," written by Lana Del Rey. In that cut she is in her music room in Norway, late at night with her grandma taping the video and the AKAI keyboard playing a prerecorded track. She is 12 when she did this. By the way, you look beautiful.

I think, to appreciate the full context of her musical journey, you will more easily recognize her evolution if you watch the early Norway's Got Talent (Gloomy Sunday, where she first broke the internet at the age of 7) performances, and follow that with America's Got Talent - The Champions (where she broke it again with "Bohemian Rhapsody", at the age of 13). Then start filling in the gaps by exploring in no particular order what she did in between and after. But, you should realize you will not get a full appreciation of her vocal range until you have listened to 30-40 different songs. Gloomy Sunday: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pH1qvMqLm5uceNY.html (be sure to turn on subtitles.) Bohemian Rhapsody: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZuFzsyxlcS0pbA.html

That sounds like a good idea! I'll react to those two performances next! Thank you very much!

She is Jazz pure. Her best Jazz renditions are her auditions at Norway got talent and all songs from her Proysenhuset concert when she was thirteen. It is really worth to listen to this songs. And do yourself a favor and take the NGT videos with subtitles.

According to Ivan Mendez,an LA based guitarist that she did many covers with,Angelina is a student of music and he said that she knew much more about a wide variety of songs than he does,despite being a decade younger.A photo of her walking with Sinatra's Songbook speaks volumes of her genuine passion and work ethic.Great intro and reaction,I won't be missing any of your AJ reactions.

Angelina Jordan as well as Daneliya Tuleshova can bypass any lack of life experience because they are both lyrical geniuses with adult tones in their singing !! Angelina is the new Queen of Jazz and you will soon discover she is the Queen of Meloncholy as well !!! 🎶🎼🎵🎶🤯.

What a Difference a Day Makes outdoor concert

Angelina is magic 😍🤩 thanks from Italy 🇮🇹☺

Angelina is perfection!

The song "A MILLION MILES" answers your questions about whether she understands what she wrote. She wrote this song.

Dear Molly & listeners i feel that soulful Angelina is showing us through her journey of singing in her own unique way that we can ALL evolve in our own way too. Showing our true natural self whether this is through music, writing, speaking or selfless random acts of kindness. This is what i believe that this old soul within Angelina has returned to this planet to teach us how to genuinely communicate through the heart - Angelina's way is her expressing music through her heart & as a young child the emotive aspect is crystal clear which is sadly lost by many many adults who experience adversity in life & to a large degree lose that innocence. Thank you Molly for giving light to a possible meaning behind Angelina's ability to connect the song with sincere emotions to all who hear her singing from the heart.💖

Hello Molly, when i HEARD HER SING , I WAS LIKE WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, SO YOUNG AND , WHAT A VOICE

Years ago she was on AGT . I could not understand how this little girl can sing like a angel ? After listening to most of her songs I understand she Is one ! LOL look at the name maybe someone else could see this before me !

Her ability to connect emotionally is what really hooked most fans. At the beginning she even seemed unaware of it herself. She said in an interview at age 7/8 a woman told her her singing made her cry and was hugged by her while she still tried to apologize. I think as far as classical jazz songs go, you'll like "What a difference a day makes": kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIeayaWCd8edm5c.html

Angelina Jordan is masterful with her voice. So soft spoken

Molly Bee thanks for the reaction. AJ is a gift to the world!❤️❤️❤️

Oh hell, yeah! She painted Angelina all over this wonderful song!
