Always fun to see these early clips and her talent shining through even at this very young age.

Another amazing aspect for me is that it is all emanating from within Angelina soul and artistic inspiration. She seems to channel from within and everyone else follows her lead the best they can. Phenomenal ❣️

I believe that you were “captivated”, by Angelina! Like everyone!!

It's the Angelina effect!! She has that effect on almost anyone who loves music.

A compelling voice !!!

Love your reaction I have followed Angelina from the start but this one I missed and again this was what put me down the rabbit hole her performances at the age of 7 are unbelievable. Never had the experience of the following someone in the time it's as if your own daughter was doing this. I'm so blessed to experience her at 79 years old a great way for one to retire.

Here Angelina is trying out songs to choose for the NGT final. She is watching the reaction of her mother and grandmother at the other end of the table. She looks a little restless, using her hands to help express the emotions of the song. The guitarist is having all the action, the other two patiently waiting for the next song, Summertime...

I think the word you were looking for Liz is captivating..me too :)

Exactly! 🥰

Liz, I love your always positive attitude, it is infectious. Just as infectious is the singing of Angelina. Amazing voice, amazing singer, amazing human. PS: I think she must be 8 here, because she has her front teeth which had just come in on her NGT finale, and she was 8 then.

is the middle of the night in norway,right now...when you react to her..but great to see you follow her yourney..love your style,a true angelina angel youve been,thanks

This was a rehearsal for the final song of NGT. She ultimately selected Summertime instead.

Thank you for another reaction to Angelina. Besides the Barefoot Angel's voice, it is amazing to watch a 7 years old child to sing an iconic song such as At last.

"Noah, where were you today?" "Oh, I was at a rehearsal." "Ah, anything interesting to talk about?" "Well, we played some old music from many years ago and it was fun to learn what music sounded like then." "Was it an instrumental rehearsal? Were singers there, too?" "Yes, a young girl." "Oh, that's interesting. A young girl singing songs from many years ago. How was she? How did it go?" "She was very good. She really captured the sound of the music the way it was years ago." "Sounds very interesting. Certainly a different path for a young girl to be traveling on. I wonder how she got interested in old music? By the way, how old is she?" "7 years old." (A slight pause...) "Excuse me, what did you say, 17 years old?" "No, 7 years old." (A longer pause...) "That is crazy! Do you think you'll be rehearsing with her again?" "I'm not sure. Maybe." "What's her name?" "Angelina Jordan." "Sounds like she's someone to keep an eye on, eh?" "Yes, most definitely."

I could almost figure this happening the way you wrote this. Wonderful.

Thanks for doing my request, Liz! Always a pleasure to watch you react to Angelina!

Liz, your comments on Angelina and this performance are no different than all of us. At 7 years old all I can ask repeatedly is How? How? How? The best young jazz singer in the world! I hope you're doing well and thanks for all your support as always.

She is music...says it all.. I love her rehearsal videos so much and this is up there as an absolute favourite (as is the slightly later one where she is rehearsing At Last with a band for a concert and it takes her a while to get the band to get the pace to her liking :) Her expressions in that one are priceless )

Based on her teeth, she was 8 years old here, not that it matters. Probably after NGT. It's great to see these beginnings. She sang this beautifully, showing her accelerated vocal maturity, when she was 9 years old: - At Last - kzread.info/dash/bejne/amVtxLNyeZC6Xco.html - special

Yes, AJ does indeed draw energy and attention is some way that is very, very difficult to explain. It's the human recognition of something exceptional in an individual that has to be admired and protected. She doesn't TRY to draw this attention -- it's just part of her presence when she sings. It's genuine. That's what makes it so compelling. It's just naturally part of her.

Wow, she is amazing! I haven't seen video before although I have seen other rehearsal videos. You are right about her voice. There is just something wonderfully mesmerising about it, you feel "wrapped in a warm blanket", as one fan channel has it. By the way, the trumpet player here was the one who accompanied her on Summertime in NGT, and there is a vid of part of that rehearsal out there. He also worked with her on some later concerts. You might like to watch her rehearsing Portrait of a Child at age 9 to see her interacting with adult professionals on an equal basis. Stunning! Don't forget to use the enhanced version with subtitles.

She was already 8 here -- unfortunately a lot of the earlier videos on her grandma's channel are off by a year. Here is a playlist of her doing 'At last' at other occasions, though a lot of rehearsals only. E.g., she did rehearse it with the orchestra she did her 'It's Magic' album with, but it did not end up on it: kzread.info/head/PLddfS789jBCrGCVpEtpsWNuFlimn0Rew7 Another interesting video from the same session you watched is a rehersal of Summertime, where she clearly shows how she is in charge of the arrangement: m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIehj9GGl7mpn5s.html BTW, this is dated to 2014,where she indeed was eight.

Interesting. Maybe dated 2014 but generally I go by the information that Grandma Mery posts with the videos she has made, she is more knowledgeable than I am regarding that but the teeth look like 8 yr old AJ..🤔🤔 maybe, .so you may be right on that. BTW you have a wonderful playlist, great job.

@@CarlD70 I think Mery in fact got it wrong for all of the videos she tagged Angelina as 7 years old. You can judge by both the teeth and sometimes by the circumstances that she must have been (at least) eight. Egil told Alan Papier in his Interview that he got to know her for the gig for the prime minister, and that was certainly after she won NGT, well into 2014. Also you can see there some videos from aparently the same rehearsal session tagged as from 2014 just as here. Now, I don't have such clear indication about the videos she was tagged as 6 years old, but I would not be surprised if Mery made a similar mistake there, and she would have been in fact seven. PS: thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
