It always starts out "Oh, she's so cute" or "Look how little she is", but once she starts and the shock subdues a little...ABSOLUTE RESPECT!

Angelina’s manager from the beginning is her uncle Michael Astar. Michael was raised in Japan and music was always his passion. After his family moved to Norway, Michael became a hip-hop DJ. As a 16-year old he was a DJ at 21+ night clubs in Oslo, Norway, getting the gigs because he looked older and no one asked his age before being hired. After getting tired of being a DJ, Michael started a music management company in 2013, and 3 months later, with no clients yet, Angelina signed-up to try out for Norway’s Got Talent. Angelina’s first audition when 7-years old was a cover of Billie Holiday’s song “Gloomy Sunday” that went viral when it got uploaded to KZread. Then Angelina won Norway’s Got Talent, had other viral KZreads, performed on Norway, US and other TV shows and her career started to take off. Eventually she had over 1 billion views of her performances on KZread and Facebook before Angelina’s appearances on the American’s Got Talent - The Champions show. Her performances there further accelerated her career. At this point, Angelina asked her uncle Michael if it was possible for her to move to the US to pursue her music dreams. Michael says this was a tough call, and he asked himself questions like; how on earth are you going to pull this off? What about a VISA? What about finances? Are you willing to sell everything you have and own, and also get a loan to risk everything? Michael related that “These were questions I had to ask myself, several times a day. Then, I remembered, what did my mom do when she went to Japan? She didn’t even talk Japanese or knew anyone. She did it because she risked everything for a better future.” So, Michael flew alone to Los Angeles, studied and learned anything he could learn from the people he got to know during his time in the Industry. After gathering a bunch of people, he came back to Norway and started the process. He indicated that “A few months later, I told her, PACK YOUR BAGS! We are going next week to pursue your dream! All in baby. Her smile made it all worth the hassle.” “We stayed patient because the way this industry works is bizarre and you have to dodge bullets right and left to get anywhere. But would I do it again? Of course! Life without challenge is boring," Michael says. For Michael, a lot of his time involves talking with industry people, to see what’s happening out there. Having recently become a father and with COVID-19, time has become even busier and more crazy than usual. “There is a lot of stuff happening with Angelina, and it requires daily briefings with a lot of people.” America’s Got Talent had always been interested in bringing Angelina to the show, but with their normal contract, artists are being locked into a label, management, and other things for many years. Michael says that it did not matter if you get exposure or not, it was out of the question to give away that many rights. This kind of patience eventually paid off. Michael said that “Some time passed and they again contacted me, asking if she wanted to sing on their show. I convinced them to give me a contract where Angelina is free from any deal if she performs, she is great for their TV show and Angelina will get the exposure she needs to breakthrough, because I knew, the talent is one of the kind like no other, I just needed her to be seen and was on a daily hunt for how to get the right spot for her in the USA.” After, Angelina’s success on America’s Got Talent, she eventually signed with Republic Records in August 2020 where Angelina was told she was Republic’s highest priority new artist. Michael says the commitment with the right interest in mind has been one of the most important things when choosing a team and partners to be part of Angelina’s team. “You also need to choose someone with the right chemistry. These are the people you have to deal with on a daily basis, you have to have a good feeling and chemistry with the team you choose.” Although no specifics yet, Michael says that the plans for Angelina include going global. Advice from Michael: “Go with your instinct, it never fails, crazy how nature does that. Always be humble, you get way further being a nice person, people tend to be nice back. Always read the contract. Find a good lawyer (It’s super hard to find the good one, but with dedication, you can). Don’t rely on people, you want something done? Do it yourself. If you are good at something, never do it for free (Quote from the Joker).”

She's like the youngest singer and at the same time the oldest singer. My brain is confused.

when angelina turned 5 she went to her mother and asked her to sign her up 4 competitions as she said i want to show the world my talent...

The original was recorded in 1956, there have been many covers, most notably Nina Simone , CCR, and Bette Midler. This 9-year old has given us the best version of this song I think I've ever heard.

Hellooo, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins!!!

Easily will be the best vocalist in the entire world when she gets older. I just can't get enough Angelina....

The guy on the sax set the tone and she made him sound even better.

That was our angel using her black wings. We can warn reactors about this performance but no one can understand what they are about to see and hear. Yes her body was 9 yo but her soul - who knows how old.

Angelina's initial performance at 7 years old on Norway's Got Talent (NGT) singing Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday went viral worldwide with over 5M views at the time. By the time she did this performance she had already traveled in Europe, Asia and America singing on stage for many children's charities and dignitaries. The Nobel Peace Prize concert in 2014 singing What A Wonderful World at 8 years old to a huge outdoor gathering for Save The Children is one of my faves. Her performances singing I'll Be There, At Last, Fly Me To The Moon and What A Difference A Day Makes are all spectacular. The one performance that is even more shocking to me is "FEELING GOOD, Live on the Stream Gir Tilbake" on stage with a full jazz orchestra and televised live to a national TV audience in Norway at 10 years old. I truly appreciate the respect you have shown to this once in a generation super talent. You understand just how remarkable and special Angelina's artistry is. Great Reaction!!!!!

I find the level of talent displayed here unsettling..it’s not possible.

She recorded this at age 9. What put her on the map were her three Jazz songs she sang on Norway’s Got Talent at ages 7-8. I suggest you watch those in the long versions with English subtitles. At the beginning she hands her arrangement to the music director and that’s her grandmother who hands her the candle with the face of Screamin Jay Hawkins who wrote the song in 1956. You should watch his black and white performance to see where Angelina got her inspiration.

She shot to fame whilst competing in Norway’s Got Talent, way before this masterpiece. I suggest you react to her performances and be prepared to have your mind blown lol

It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). She starts low, rising in intensity throughout and finishes in an unexpected and practically operatic style. You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I put A Spell on You" kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaaC0qpvmdzVm6w.html You really need to include the link in the description to the original video so Angelina gets views. Also, if you had the opportunity to react to this with the 9yo Angelina right in front of you, would you use such unnecessary language? I hope not.

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 ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in something greater than ourselves, or reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS***

Angelina Jordan is out there on her OWN... she has no peer!!! 💯❤💯 This is a KZread MASTERPIECE!⭐👑⭐

The original was put out by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956.

ANGELINA....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Years of training, exactly. She started singing at 1,5 years and watching one of those Talent Shows at age of 3 she put it into her little head she wants to do that, too.

Her first time in the Studio was 6yrs singing I Who Have Nothing. She was amazing then. She was video taped at home Singing Jazz at 18 months. She's a prodigy and Author and Singer/musician. She speaks in a few different languages and you'll find her always Barefoot that story was she saw a young poor girl who had no shoes. Angelina was 6 at the time a vowed to be Barefooted until all the Children in the World had Shoes. She'll cast her spell on you as she did to many others. Check her out live in a concert singing Feeling Good

Actually her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent put her on the map. Gloomy Sunday, I'm a fool to want you, Bang Bang and in finally "Summertime".

This is about the point when the musicians that work with her started calling her the Boss because it had to be done her way!!!

Actually, Angelina's breakout occurred at age 7, more than a year before she recorded this version of "I Put A Spell On You." This happen when she competed on Norway's Got Talent in 2014. She won that competition, receiving 46% of the viewers' votes. (The remaining votes were split across the 9 other finalists.) One or more of her performances went viral at the time. Here's the list of songs in the order Angelina performed them in the competition. (1) Gloomy Sunday - in the style of Billie Holiday (This performance definitely went viral) (2) I'm A Fool To Want You (acapella) - in the style of Billie Holiday (3) Bang, Bang (You Shot Me Down) - in the style of Nancy Sinatra (possibly went viral) (4) Summertime - by George Gershwin Pick out anything that intrigues you. Use subtitled versions where available. Thank you for your enthusiastic support for Angelina. There is still much more of the WOW factor for you to discover. Enjoy your journey down the Angelina rabbit hole.

Angelina is just covering this. It's actually being sung by a 50-year old black woman sitting on a piano in a smoke-filled dive in Manhattan while sipping Wild Turkey. In 1930.

Actually, the song that put her on the map was "Gloomy Sunday", which she performed in her first appearance on "Norway's Got Talent" when she was 7; she eventually won that competition. And, she had quite a few more performances after that, but before she did "I Put a Spell on You". Here is a version with English subtitles: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pH1qvMqLm5uceNY.html

I second this. And bring your wife to this one.

Welcome to the Angelina Jordan Rabbit Hole. You are three performances in and the only way is forward. This will be an epic journey and I look forward to observing you have your mind blown multiple times. The Barefoot Princess has recruited another. LOL. Enjoy your experience!!

She can make any cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time. She picks and arranges all her songs. Duende is the only word I have found that describes her singing

The musical technique you remarked is called a 'slide' or perhaps 'glissando'. This is the point where professional singers watching ask themselves, "How long did it take *me* to learn this?"

Tom, this song made Angelina a youtube sensation but she was already a star for 2 years. Check out her performances at Norway's Got Talent when she was 7/8 years old. Follow that by watching her outdoor performance of What a Difference a Day Makes. This is when you realize she is no longer a child singer but a true professional.

Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The artist grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2021 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, Save the world shes on her way to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.

Now that you are part of the Jordan spell, you must react to a song she wrote for her recently departed (at that time), much loved grandfather. She also has dedicated the song to all who have experienced personal loss. She wrote the song at 12 or 13 yo. There are two exceptional videos of "Million Miles". One is the lyric version with art work by her grandmother, who is a renowned Iranian artist, and the other is a b/w version of her doing the song live in a studio with just a piano and a cello player. The pain in her soul jumps out at you. Amazing artistry.

For probably the earliest hint of her talent, look for the school studio performance of I Who Have Nothing when she was six.

I'll raise you 'Gloomy Sunday', Norway's got talent at seven years old, whilst waiting for a front tooth to grow in.

Angelina is just a generational talent! Simply a genius

When first timers react to this the response is humorously the same, "How old is this little girl?" "She must be lip syncing." "OMG😲" Yes she is young in this performance but it never gets old.

Here's the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaaC0qpvmdzVm6w.html (you might watch it and see if you agree that AJ's version is actually better!). And Angelina is comfortable with this arrangement because it's HER arrangement! Those notes she handed the director at the beginning of the video were some last-minute "wishes" (as she put them) for things she wanted the band to do. Angelina's Angels (fans) often offer this video as "Exhibit 1" to support our claims that she's a true vocal prodigy!

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Tom. I'd say winning Norway's Got Talent in 2014 at age 8 is what put Angelina on the map, so to speak, and the fact that her performances on that show were truly remarkable. Believe it or not, she actually started singing when she was one and a half. She's the most talented and most versatile singer I've ever heard. She has dozens of other performances that will blow you away, so I look forward to our next Angelina reaction.

What people don’t realize when they watch this is at 9 she has been singing for seven years look at the way she took control of this recording. She is a pro.

Does all her own arrangements to her covers. Cover of Screaming Jay Hawking.

She’s definitely special, great reaction. She does slot of Billie holiday, Etta James.

Actually her performances and winning Norway’s Got Talent put her on the map, but this performance put her in the KZread map, and it’s also still charting on the iTunes jazz singles chart for more than 5 years now!

One of her great accomplishments is her ability to not only arrange her music, she also has the musical knowledge to arrange the music of the band. That was what she handed the band manager, the adjustments she required the band members to make. She is literally a child prodigy. The band members call her the 'Boss'.

Check out "I'm Still Holding Out For You" by Angelina. But, be careful... Your Head May Explode..

This is one of her best .

Totally owned the song. FYI - The writing was her wishes for the arrangement she handed to the band leader. The candle had a picture of Screaming Jay Hawkins, the original producer.

Great reaction to a great great singer. Angelina Jordan

Yes, she's nine years old and we're so happy ur reacting to Angelina Jordan don't stop!!!!

It all began long before this song! She won Norway's got talent at the age of 8 and auditioned at 7. You could go to where it all started with her audition of "Gloomy Sunday'!

Great reaction, but it started way before that, check out her songs she sang on Norway's Got Talent, where from the first audition she carried 45% of the votes until the end when she won. She entered at the age of 7, turned 8 before it ended, but is recorded as a 7 year entry! It's a performance like my brain doesn't compute! God Bless!

She is so talented and amazing.. out of this world. 🌹🌺🌸🇳🇴🇩🇰

Tom,If you went to hear Angelinas deep deep register?I mean way down in the gut.Then you must check our her rendition of Elvis "how great thou art".This song is powerful,it makes you want to go church and pray for redemption!!🇨🇦😃

I so enjoy watching people watch and listen to this specific video of Angelina's. It's so fun watching people react so happily surprised. It's also fun watching how she uses her different vocal attributes as she grows. I love this child, she's a super human being. Thank you for your reaction, i really enjoyed it.

Definitely gotta look at her in Norway’s Got Talent. She was 7 years old and won the whole thing.

Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, she is always amazing, and mesmerizing.

She started singing jazz at 1.5 years old. Won Norways Got Talent at 7.

Thank you for reacting to one of Angelina's earlier songs ! It's an absolute mind blower ! I would suggest her version of Summertime at 7 yrs old from Norway's Got Talent from 2014 for a fantastic performance it was unreal !! Your comment and reaction are so much appreciated ! You will always be amazed never disappointed when our Barefoot Princess sings ! She is a unique talent that can only go to stardom ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🤗👍

Fantastic Artistry! She's completely in her genre! Thanks for the reaction. Great!

I fear that if every person on the planet reviewed this video, many angels would happily watch every single one of them. When would we sleep?

Tom, great job as always. Thank you. One of the things I like about this song is her perfectly timed body contortions. They are beautiful and totally appropriate for the power that this song demands. I've heard several voice coaches comment that, to some degree, she is making adjustments on the fly. How they know this - I haven't got a clue but, if it is true, it makes me wonder what kind of prodigy we have here. She is not perfect in this song but no one has done it better.

Friend...gotta hear her beginnings in studio at 6 yrs old singing I Who Have Nothing!!

She's the best ever bro. Nobody ever mentions the fact that there's a professional live band behind her. That cost a lot of money. This is no joke. Shes been here before. She directs the band. At 9.

Angelina rewrites lyrics that are inappropriate for her age group but when this first starts, she is actually rewriting part of the arrangement for the song. This girl is total talent. You need to checkout when she was on Norway's Got Talent. Especially her version of Cher's "Bang Bang".

What she did vocally at 6:56 that you commented on is called an ascending and descending run. You are completely right about the difficulty. Normally it takes much practice, training and especially vocal maturity to be able to maintain such beautiful tone and pitch while singing either an ascending or descending run. That she chose to pair them back to back shows almost unheard of control for a NINE year old!!! That’s not anything I’ve ever heard a child sing before. It’s simply mind boggling to me. Gives me goosebumps every single time!😍

I've seen over 100 reactions to this video. You are the first to point out her little smirks. So mature.

Dunno about the rest of you all, but I was probably playing with Hot Wheels and Legos at 9 years old...not singing fantastic covers of classic songs. Geez, she was so talented at such a young age! Of course, she still is super talented but this is just mind blowing considering her age. My suggestion this time: A live version of UFO - Rock Bottom (from 1975) (kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXqmrNapqqetYrQ.html). Cheers!

Thank you for the great reaction to the song that launched millions of Angelina fans down the Rabbit hole with no return. Appreciate you supporting the young prodigy on your channel Tuffnuts, please include links to her original videos and her channel. Her millions of Angels would appreciate the respect that this young lady deserves. Hope you do more from this fantastic young artist.

She WON Norways Got talent age 7 singing Billy Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday! Check that out!

Ahahahahahahah then yiu need to hear her sing Summertime. She's self taught by her Grandparents who brought her up on jazz. She started singing at 1-1/2. So, she's been singing 7 plus year's.

I wish you had known that this was when she was nine and she WON Norway's Got Talent when she was SEVEN!

Imagine being one of the back up musicians! Ya freak out when you see this tiny young thing walk in the studio. Then she opens her mouth! But on top of it all to know SHE arranged the song???!!!!!

Low voice? This isn't low for AJ Tom, try: " Angelina Jordan . How Great Thou Art " Now that's LOW....😎👍

You're right, this is not just simple pop style, very complex. Pretty much opera style, interesting because Screaming J Hawkins, the picture on the candle she shows at beginning, was opera trained but never allowed on stage (black man in the 1950's), and wrote and performed this as a mocking parody of opera.

What put her on the map was her singing on NGT in her home country Norway. Where she sang, Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday, Summertime by Gerswwin and Ela Fitzgerald, and Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra.

She is UNBELIEVABLE❣‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

I invite you to hear the first time in a studio of Angelina, I who have nothing when I was 6 years old is incredible, thanks Tom. greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 🇦🇷

I really love all of her new originals with Republic, and it's impressive how far she's come, both professionally and IRL, but this?....this NEVER gets old!!!

That last note always gets me it almost like she is possessed by the Spirit of Song and she literally has to close her mouth and swallow to contain the note otherwise I swear she would continue to carry that note indefitinitelty.

Screaming Jayhawk and original artist Nina Simone covered Also Angelina Jordan arrange the song Can you Band call her the boss. Affectionately

I watch a lot of Angelina reactions And this one is right up there

Hello!! Please!! Escucha mucho más de Angelina!! Estaré pendiente!! Saludos desde Argentina!!🧉🧉🧉🤗🤗🤗

Thanks brother for reaction, please see her at 7 gloomy sunday.

I never get enough of her and I never get enough of watching these reactions! I love watching you all getting your minds blown. Lol

When this appeared on KZread, I kept on playing it, again and again. She really scrambled my brain, - unbelievable performance. And I knew her since NGT! My suggestion as to what to listen to next would be to look at her channels, pick one you like/know, and go from there. You will get tonnes of requests, though ❤️👣🎶

Welcome to the group: Angelina Fans. I suggest going back to her roots, meaning her performances in Norway’s Got Talent, which she entered at age 7, won at age 8. Then, you’ve caught up to her at this performance. Don’t stop there. Instead carry on. She just gets better. Be sure to check her out at America’s Got Talent The Championship where she sings her version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road at 13 years old. Then keep on keeping’ on.

It's a masterpiece I'm speechless like a professional I like your reaction

It was a lot like Screaming Jay Hawkins, FANTASTIC!!

Tom, the look on your face. I'm pretty sure I suggested this song in the first livestream I jumped in on. I'm actually glad you waited. That was amazing sir. You get it! I'll be waiting patiently for the next installment. Have you done Feeling Good yet? There are two equally brilliant, one outdoors face to the sky, one indoors on the big stage with the big band behind her. Choose one or do both. They're each that good. ✌️💖 ✌️💖

Right at 5:38 or so, she is holding embouchure as the sax plays...she really knows this piece!

One of the mistakes people make when listening to this is taking their eyes off of it. Every second of this recording is a musical, visual, and vocal experience to be savored. It is truly one of a kind. But still, you are hers now.

Altogether these following performances show that whether rehearsal, on TV, live concert or studio, Angelina pretty much gives stellar performance. They also show maturing of her voice and slight changes Angelina made in her performance of this song from when 9-year old to 12-year old: ---- you reacted to this video when Angelina as 9-year old did studio performance of I Put A Spell On You. Incredible as sounds much older than she was at time.

Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m22C2rpppLbQg5M.html ---- Mery has 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 insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on 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 10-year old.

She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2uczLmgZLfVgrQ.html] ---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old.

I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]

I heard AJ described as a vocal chameleon. If you watch studio recordings from this period when she's speaking in her "natural" voice, she sounds like a little girl. Then she starts singing and you are transported to another age and another singer with Angelina's particular spin. One reactor pointed out that the whistle tone that is so impressive is something all young girls have in their repertoire. that high pitched shriek. It's interesting that when she was older, she didn't do that when performing this song. Great reaction, Tom. Look forward to your future reactions.

Hi Tom you did a good job of keeping your jaw from falling on the floor a lot of reactors have to go look for their ja w and put it back on before they step on it LOL this video of Angelina is the most requested video of the over 140 KZread videos she has why you ask because it shows a 9 year old girl doing something that should be impossible for a nine year old girl to do I'll bet you thought Angelina was going to run out of breath at the end didn't you
