Good Dr. Angelina, a child prodigy at 9 yrs old, has channeled the spirit of the original singer went performed a classic cover. She continues to amaze all her Fans (she calls her Angels) with her endless talent to perform at this level, as you will discover. Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan, an extraordinary place.

This video of Angelina should be shown in every university's master's degree music / vocal class in the world!

My Funny Valentine '22 version... 💗💗💗

AJ is, by all appearances, an empath. It pulled her into jazz and all the emotions.

I always enjoy watching people that really know what they are talking about analyzing Angelina. She is such a master of her craft. It seems impossible that a 9 year old could be a master of anything, but there it is. It's undeniable. The delicate nuance combined with the raw (yet controlled) power, the unique artistic choices she makes... These are all things that should take decades to perfect, and comes out and makes it look as easy as breathing.

Jesus christ thats the most impressive thing ive heard in my life.

Most reactors - voice coaches, etc. - struggle to understand her because she is a true musical genius. She arranged this on her own, with no help.

She was 9 yo. This is her arrangement. She was in charge of the recording session. She is barefoot; she met a little girl in Asia without shoes. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and performs barefooted as a way to promote taking care of the poor. No one ever talks about how long she held the last note; it is remarkable considering how small she was.

jd It's not the last note, it's entire the last phrase. All in one breath.

Angelina recorded this a couple of months after her 9th Birthday and she has never sung it like this again, presumably because she was advised to protect her vocal chords. She has sung it several times over the years, but never like this. Some if the techniques she used in this version, I've not seen her use in any later songs. As far as your next reaction to a recent song, my favorite is her cover of the jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, sung by all the Greats. It's the best version I have ever heard, the most beautiful & a Master Class in dynamics & vocal control. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4h7rsSsd6eneZM.html

👍👍 Very nice catch on that inhale screech not to many people realized that witch I believe is better for the vocal cords than a exhale screech,,, but at the same time uncle Michael "probably" said, "you do you this one time but promise me that you won't do it again for a nearly entire song" cuz this performance was never repeated from Angelina,, but i still love her other performances of this Legendary song,, 👣🌬🌎

Enhorabuena! You are one of only two or three vocal coaches/analysts to have identified the inhaled note as such. 👍🏼 Angelina has so many unique videos out that it's hard to pick one, but I agree with most of the previous recommendations. her most recent cover of "My Funny Valentine" (this last Valentine's Day) is a master class demonstration of vocal ability. The only problem is that you don't see her singing it, but in my opinion no other song she's done demonstrates so many facets of her voice.

She is human and expresses, most kids can express. Plus her teachers were Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, and all the other jazz greats. She is great with pop and country and classical, Spanish. She speaks like four or five languages, and she's the youngest published author in Norway.

When she performed, and put her unique spin on, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" on AGT Champions it was pretty darned amazing.

Please next: Her version on "Mont Everest" live 2022 - Born in Norway, and the best young female vocalist. Signed with Repulic Records just at 14 years old. Now living in LA and work with her first album.

❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing this song, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, from her soul to ours, through her music, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A BLESSING*** ❤ 💚 💜

Angelina wrote the arrangement, the bit where you noted the musicians were in sync with Angelina, was what the musical director was laughing at in shock at the intro of the video; when Angelina presented him with how she wanted the horns to react to that stepped legato line you noted.

I am so fascinated with AJ and this song. I have listened to everything she has done on the net, she draws me back over and over. I have watched her grow up and am no less fascinated with every song. I can't recall anyone having that effect on me. I wish I could stick around and hear her when she is fully grown, but I'm 77 and the road is not that much longer. She will have the world at her feet if I can guess.

Angelina really in the groove here. The notes that she handed to the musical director were her changes to the musical arrangement - she did a great job with that don't you think? In an interview she explained that the story was about desperate love, she had been so moved by Screamin' Jay Hawkins performances of the song. I like to think that this is the concept version of the song, and very specific to how her body was at the age of 9. Her "business as usual" version that she performed at the age of 11 was a more refined. I think that it's clear to see that Angelina takes her music very seriously, constantly striving to improve and extend her scope and range. Not many young people have such a powerful mission statement...

In order to understand Angelina and how she sings this song, you must go watch Screaming Jay Hawkings video of this song. It’s exaggerated, comical and wild. To a child watching that video may be cartoonish. She is pointing everyone to him on the candle. 😊I also believe her primary language accent gives her that unique word pronunciation. It gives her such a unique sound. I love it.

I was so excited to see that you reacted to Angelina unleashed. This is hands-down my favorite performance of hers so far. She's singing her heart out, using every bit of knowledge of her craft to create a cover that honors the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins (the face on the candle in the beginning). For a more recent example of her genius, I'll recommend an original. Angelina performed a live version of her own composition 7th Heaven live at Kongsberg this summer. It was broadcsst on Norwegian TV as part of a special, then Angel Rusty Shackleford divided the performances up. Thx, Rusty! Here's a link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXajmpqlYcSsdKw.html

Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the members of the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXWfvKZ6iK2nZKg.html

The handwritten note was the words of the song and the way of singing them, that’s why the guy laughed ( not at all the nad leader but the studio engineer). Angelina was not able to write any music at this age, it is a myth. I am a genuine fan but she barely can plays guitar and piano by now (ask a pro looking at her video when playing). She don’t need to be idealize to be the best :-)

Angelina is a child prodigy, as was her Grandmother, who was her Influence in to the jazz style of music. She arranges her own music and started singing at 18 mo. Her first time in a studio was at age 6 singing I Who Have Nothing. She competed in Norways Got Talent at 7 and 8. React to the entity of 4 songs. Angelina will be 16 in January so you have plenty of enjoyment ahead. Welcome as another one of her angels.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and excellent analysis of Angelina's magnificent cover of " I Put A Spell On You " This video started me off on the Angelina Jordan journey so many years ago ! We have watched this talented child from the age of 6 to now at almost 17 and have been a part of her remarkable evolution as a truly unique and captivating young artist ! Angelina is able to bring a new fresh take on all of her covers she performs ! About 175 and counting ! Her strong jazz influenced background from the age of two gives her vocals such a dynamic sound and adds so much to the songs she chooses ! She is an old soul who loves to sing classic jazz and older classic songs ! Not many singers especially her age are even attempting to sing these wonderful melodies ! Her audience you will find ranges from young children to older adults who marvel at her musical skills ! She is a humble, sincere, loving and compassionate soul ! Well protected by her family and Republic Records who allow her to grow and develop at her own pace ! I would suggest "My Funny Valentine" video that she realised earlier this year at 16 years old ! Unfortunately you won't see her sing it but it is visually appealing and her vocals will take you on a journey back to the fifties ! Her recent cover of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds " is an artistic and visual masterpiece ! She takes this song in a whole new direction ! You'll really enjoy her spin in it ! I also would suggest her cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing " studio version as it is absolutely a beautiful tribute to Whitney and a vocal splendor by Angelina ! I want to thank you for your most heartfelt and wonderful commentary as they are so appreciated ! Please keep posting our Barefoot Princess ! Sending you much love from Canada ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

At the start, Angelina put up a picture of Screaming Jay Hawkins that she is covering with many of Jay's mannerisms, growling, screaming and grunting. This was one of her best performances at her age or since. What guts it took to select this song that most female singers wouldn't attempt. She is incredible.

Really enjoyed the reaction. Just as an FYI, that ascending "Hey, hey, hey, hey, Watch out" is taken directly from the Screaming Jay Hawkins original.

Dr. Marisan, Angelina practices music for about 36 hours a week since the age of 3, went to the music academy when 4, for technical advise, ans saw a lot of pain, misery, poverty and hate during her younger days when visiting dad in 3rd work countryies. He is an engineer for a international company. Sometime the family lived with him, as in the Middle East, where she met the famous shoeless girl. Angelina said, so I was informed: I write best when feeling pain. This young highly empathic and genius intelligent woman is also at least 20 years older in mind, than her body. Madan, please stay safe, sound and happy, Sincerely, Elmar from Germany.

Great reaction/analysis. Reacting to the earlier AND later versions of “My Funny Valentine” is an excellent idea. They are both stellar and are like a textbook example of how a voice improves over time. ❤️👣

This won’t be the most recommended song of Angelia’s, but I think it’s one you will enjoy the most: her cover of “My Funny Valentine” that she released last February. She did did it before when she was about 12, but this latest one is pure perfection!

She can do it because she loves the music.

Children feel as strongly as adults, fear of separation or loss for example. They usually don't have adult words to express these feelings, but if a child has studied an expressive mode, it becomes possible to express some of these emotions. This child has been listening to and studying jazz since about age 2, obsessed with that particular music, mimicking it, retaining it, using it to let out her strong emotions. She warned us by showing the image of the man whose recording of this song she had absorbed, Screamin' Jay Hawkins! (Loved your reactions, details I hadn't heard. Eager for more!)

Shouldn’t be surprise she is a giant together with Marcelito and of course the king Dimash that trio is already and for ever in the history of the music .. good reaction keep doing it !!

Angelina is Angelina, there is only one Angelina and there will never be another.

Dr. Marisan, I really enjoyed your in depth reaction to this remarkable video of Angelina singing 'I Put A Spell On You' at 9 years old! What's noteworthy is that she had already won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old so, by this time, she could be regarded as a "seasoned vet". So much going on here. In the beginning she handed the musical director some hand written notes to explain some changes she would like the band to make. What!? Yes, she has been rearranging musical compositions since she was 9 years old. She has stated she is most comfortable in life when she is singing to people. And, she puts in a ton of work to keep her voice well tuned and, btw, she adjusts beautifully to the changes her voice makes as she matures. Dr. Marisan, I could go on and on but may I say I would like very much to hear more from you reacting to Angelina. You will be getting so much data (playlists and personal info) about Angelina from her fan base (her 'angels') and you will have plenty of music to choose from. I would like to make a suggestion. I'm afraid it won't get many "votes" but only because there is so many more current selections that the fan base will be suggesting. BUT, after saying that, the video I am hoping you will play and react to is one which many people regard as, perhaps, her greatest video of all! Quite a statement and I hope it raises your curiosity. She is sitting at home in a chair, at 10 years old, and she sings 'My Funny Valentine'. She has produced another video singing the same song at 16 years old and some reactors have included both on the same video so as to hear the difference in her voice. The 16 year old version stands alone and, in a word, it is magnificently done. But, here's the kicker: Many (including myself) prefer her 10 year old version because of................well, you'll have to hear and see why. 🙂

I was just thinking about how Angelina interpreted the lyrics to this classic song. She had said the growls were a way of saying you need to love someone more. I wonder how much she discussed the lyrics with her mom or grandmother. Regardless, Angelina knew how she wanted to perform the song as is evident with the notes she wrote at the beginning of the video. Dr. Marisan, thank you so very much for providing links to the original video and Angelina's Official Channel. We Angelina angels are proud so many channels have implemented our suggestion to encourage viewers to use those links to help boost the analytics for the artist. So few people read the description and you have great information about your channel there as well. Please make the music reaction/analysis world on KZread a more artist friendly place by educating viewers how to help each artist you feature.

You can never underestimate Angelina. She will surprise you every time. She based this on the original by Screamin Jay Hawkins 1956. And of course she nailed but more than that I think she made Rock History with the best rendition by a 9 yr old girl ever created. Better even than Screamin Jay himself. IMO. My vote would go for her recent cover of Elvis 'Suspicious Minds' The power she opens with hits you like a ton of bricks and then it's just pure velvet perfection. Thank you dear. Keep em coming. 👣

One thing is clear to me. Angelina is a MASTER at interpretation of songs and music in general-both technically and emotionally. She GETS it at a high level of comprehension. And she does her homework. That's clear from the candle she holds at the beginning showing the image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the composer and original artist of this song. She is not imitating anyone as such. She matches the emotion and "vibe" of the song with how she sings it. A truly awesome talent.

Angelina is a great singer. You are a great reactor. And I am grateful for being able to listen to both of you 😉 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Suspicious minds would b a good one. Her voice is fantastic.

I'm sure someone else has probably said this already, but you really should compare what Angelina is doing here to what Screamin' Jay Hawkins would do when he performed the song live (pretty much everything she's doing here is based on him). The easiest way to do that is to watch the "closing credits" of a reaction compilation video called "I Put a Spell on You - Angelina Jordan Reaction - Every Reaction Ever", by PO Talks. He cuts back and forth between key moments in a c. 1990 live performance by Hawkins and the corresponding moments from Angelina's video, and the comparison makes this performance even more impressive, IMHO. She's taking all the over-the-top things he would do and modifying them to fit more seemlessly into the flow of the song - making them "more musical", as I like to put it. An amazing accomplishment for a 9-year-old. BTW, the only way to really understand how she could do this at this age is to continue to go back to earlier performances by her. By the time she recorded this music video, she had been "in the public eye" (singing on TV and in live appearances) for about a year (measuring from when her "Gloomy Sunday" audtition on _Norske Talenter_ aired on TV and went viral online). And she had been singing "seriously" (beyond informal performances for friends and family) for at least a couple of years. And, of course, that singing "for friends and family" goes all the way back to when she was 1½ and she surprised her mother by singing along with Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You". (I say "of course" because I *know* you've been told about that many times. But have you actually seen it? Look for the video called "Angelina Jordan - News feature in Norwegian TV2 from 2014 (eng sub)" posted by Yozhik v Tumane [turn on English "CC" captions to understand the Norwegian narration]. The relevant clip occurs 1 min 52 sec into the video. You probably shouldn't watch the rest of it until after you've seen her "Gloomy Sunday" audition.)

Just a couple comments, even though I have a few dozen that I want to mention. Angelina takes her music very seriously. Even at 9 as you heard today, she’s not showing off-she being true to the genre. Close your eyes and you’re getting authentic old school blues that you could include in any jazz anthology. Her timing, her vocals, her grit, her sass all fit the genre. At some point, watch Angelina at 13 covering Etta James’s I’d Rather Go Blind-and listen to astonishing 1960’s soul that will blow you away like this one did. Angelina does not recreate genres, she inhabits them by studying her musical history and by her incredible ear and timing. Secondly, you listened twice to Angelina’s great phrasing and intonation of the line “Hey, hey, hey, hey-what’s up.” Not only does that add variety and interest, but it is a direct nod to the song’s famous heritage where Screamin Jay Hawkins laughs demonically with that phrase. Angelina keeps the intent, but flows it beautifully into the overall performance. If you want to see Angelina today, try “Suspicious Minds” to see a 180 degree reversal of I Put a Spell on You. Angelina is absolutely mesmerizing and absolutely unique.

Thankyou for your reaction and analysis to this fantastic cover by Angelina, it was very interesting. BTW you are not the first nor will you be the last vocal coach to realize that you have just been schooled by a 9 year old.

Maybe a double reaction to Angelina singing "My Funny Valentine" when she was 10 and again when she was 16. Or Angelina singing "Suspicious Minds" at 16.

I agree with all recommending My Funny Valentine from this year at 16. In my opinion it is the best song to this point that showcases all of her colors and textures of her beautiful jazz voice. But I absolutely love her 10 year old live version just sitting in a chair with a backing track. That is such a emotional performance and pure magic to see a ten year old singing it.

“I’m a fool to love you” at 7 on NGT and again at 11yo studio version.

That performance contained some elements of 'Sprechgesang'. Arnold Schoenberg would be proud, lol 😄 It's an example that music is more than just about notes. I recommend 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas', a casual phone recording from a year ago, only 2 minutes long, but the vibrato she performed there was quite special I thought.

I know it's about the music and reacting to it, but it must be said: You put a a spell on me, dr. Marisan. So charming! Wow.

She said in an interview that she imagined screaming at someone how much they loved them and needed them to stop doing wrong things. She never performed it this way again as she was cautioned about the possible future damage with singing this way so young. She sings the song and the audience often adds in the parts she omitted. It's fun to hear them do that. I am giving you just a fun listen to Angelina who opened for Norah Jones in Seoul South Korea before 40,000 people.

With your advanced ears I highly reccomend 'All I Ask'. Its by far her most tecnically diverse and beautiful of her more recent songs 🌹

Seventh Heaven - it’s her own composition.

I just double checked on Google and yes you do remind me of a young Grace Slick,,, it was your eyes and the shape of your smile that got me thinking about that. And speaking of Grace Slick and considering Angelina Jordan vocals, I would die if she ever did a cover of White Rabbit (a Jefferson Airplane classic from the '70s or was it the 1960s) That song fits her voice perfectly and it would be a great warm up song for any concert to get her voice ready for the rest of the show....

Seen this 100s of times and never tire of it. She is simply amazing.

great reaction to this amazing young artist . i like the points you made about the technical choices Angelina has made throughout this performance , that was what first blew me away about her when i first heard her was that she was doing these extremely technical things at an incredibly young age . she has such control of her voice that she can just about do anything . thx

Marisan!!! Thanks for your great reaction and here are two more amazing songs Angelina did !!! The first is her 2022 rendition of " My Funny Valentine" and the second is "Above the water" These are some of my favorite Angelina songs. Oh and a bonus is a song she wrote and arranged called "Shield" have fun bro. Ray

Fascinates me is i never get tired of hearing and seeing her performances. The only performer.

She was performing an homage to the original artist, screeman Jay Hawkins.

Amazing 9 year old with a very old soul. The style was very similar to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins performance. I understand that her grandparents always had classic blues and jazz playing when she was with them. Great reaction.

Thanks.. this remains one of my favorites.. at age 9... she is older now, of course.. and doing some amazing original work.. but I keep going back to this... lol (P.S. she grew up hearing Jazz.. and at the beginning of this, she holds a candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins.. she made her own arrangement..)

I just love Angelina Jordan! 👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕

Fascinating is an understatement... I haven't heard it mentioned before, but if you look carefully in that moment where she goes "Hey, hey, hey, HEY! Whats Up! She looks at and winks at precisely the right time to the musicians. So the question I have is did she purposely wink or did it come completely naturally like the rest of her performance, or was it just a fluke?... What 9 year old would think to wink at the precise moment? She is so incredible and beyond my comprehension.

Thanks for another great reaction to & analysis of another masterful performance by Angelina (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Many reactors & voice teachers have asked how is any of this possible for a girl so young. I've listened to Angelina's singing every day for at least the last 18 months & believe that she is the best female singer I have heard in my lifetime (& I'm 72 :). I strongly believe that Angelina has the innate GOD given gifts of not only a beautiful voice, but also the ability to emote the essence of each song she sings direct to our hearts & souls to allow us to also deeply FEEL her music as it passes through her. For a more recent performance, I highly recommend her incredible reinterpretation & cover of the well known Elvis hit - Suspicious Minds - at age 16. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

You start to see the genius of her even as a child

Thanks for this indepth and knowledgeable reaction to AJ'S genius

I love Suspicious Minds. Please consider reacting to it. Great analysis! It's a joy to watch you.

AJ does seem to charm her listeners. I seem to lean in as she sings even here on KZread.

You really get it, Dr. Marisan - a mix of both analysis, expertise and pure fandom. You are such a pleasure to spend time with. IN the beginning of the song - you can see her 'directing' the music with her right hand - both the main beat and the pickup beat. Clearly, Angelina Jordan understands this as music though as you suggest, an 8 year old otherwise would not understand the emotion inside the lyrics. There is so much I look forward to watching 'with' you and if I may suggest, some of the singers in Postmodern Jukebox is a good place to explore.

Everything everybody else has said about Angelina and about you as a reactor/teacher...plus my request: "A Million Years Ago", which always moves me deeply and never gets old! It has the added bonus of seeing Angelina shift from masterful singer to delightful 11-year-old waving and saying "bye!" at the end! kzread.info/dash/bejne/g3yA1ryKY9avp6g.html. Another favorite displays Angelina's great song-writing abilities and was inspired after her adored grandfather died. To me, it's a passionate prayer most of us often feel in our souls! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXd4pbOaf8XAkqw.html

My favorite covers by Angelina are I Have Nothing, and Easy on Me

She's channeling Screamin Jay Hawkins, the picture of the man on the candle she's holding in the beginning. Many visual details in her videos , especially when she's doing Elvis. See if you can spot them.

The more you delve into the artistry of Angelina, the more you'll wonder how she can interpret so many songs with emotions that seem real and actually get transmitted to you, as well. I would love to see you react to her cover of "All I Ask" (Adele).

My Funny Valentine and Suspicious Minds were both beautiful.

Fierce Masterpiece! Fearless, timeless and ageless. Wonderful ❣️

Angelina is a masterclass -- and she's only 9 here!

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!

You have a very nice smile. Angelina singing makes you smile. Maybe you should listen to two new Angelina songs per day to catch up, and you can also smile. And maybe you can show us that smile, twice a day!!

I Put a Spell on You Bohemian Rhapsody Back to Black This little lady is the best I have ever heard, ever. I just love the expression on her face when the sax solo starts. She isn't no joke. Insanely talented & I'm hooked for life, lol.

" I have Nothing" Whitney Houston Cover & " I will always love you " Dolly Parton Cover & " Easy on Me " Adele Cover

FYI, the Barefoot Angel never repeated this song in the same style as we watched in this video in order to protect her vocal cords. Here is another version of the same song when Angelina appeared on a German TV show, and it is as amazing as the current performance. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6aOrsyDY7moiso.html Die erfolgreiche Jazz-Sängerin (Angelina) | Little Big Stars mit Thomas Gottschalk | SAT.1 Little Big Stars

Even at 9 years old she has already been in the studios for 3 years and has already won Norways got talent has already sang in front of 40,000 people for a benefit concert, has already sang on TV in the United States and she dies her own arrangements and that's what the notes are for that she hands to the band director is the changes and things she wants hilighted... she has liston to all this old-school music and she study how the original singers do things and makes things her own along with rewriting lyrics to be age appropriate for what ever age she might be,, (one of her mothers rules)

She was 11 (2017) when perform in front of 40,000 people is Seoul, South Korea.

She's a old soul...taken several lifetimes to get where she is at this point and she's running on instinct (music) and understands full well what she's singing and the emotional value of the message in the music. She's not to be underestimated.

I like that. The colors in her voice.

Angie's greatest ability is to imitate the stars. Ella as in her version of Summertime, also Billie Holiday, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, on and on. She has only had fundamental guidance, all the advanced stuff is her own doing. That's what brilliant singers do, she has natural ability absorbing music. Basically naturally she's a better singer than any teacher or coach because that's what prodigies do.

faith Angelina doesn't do imitation.

This was the first song I ever heard from Angelina Jordan. A year later it still blows me away. She is so unbelievably special! As far as I’m concerned this performance is legendary. But I’ve come to realize my favorite AJ song is the last one I hear! Really enjoy your reactions Doc
