I don't watch "America's got Talent", but someone introduced me to this young Norwegian singer and I was blown away by her. Angelina was 13 at the time of these performances and has been performing for years prior. She won the "Norway's Got Talent" at age 7. Incredible mature voice for a person this young.
This one is interesting because if she won, she would have to sign a recording contract with Simon Cowell and her parents won't accept offers until she's older. She apparently has stacks of offers including Disney. So there's a line in the song that addresses this. Really amazing performance.
She's all around the net and has her own streaming channel.

Here's a beautiful cover of Adele's A Million Years Ago. Wonderful guitarist, too.
Only 11 of 12 years old here. She's out of this world.

Not that i'm going to sign up for her stream but yes she's very impressive. Simon said she's doing the arrangements herself too, and that, in its own way, is almost as impressive as her voice. To have that depth of understanding of music at that age, wow!

A lot of young vocalists are what I'd call "parrots', they have a technique and style but they don't have the soul and heart, just mostly from lack of life experience. I have no clue where it comes from but she sings from some very old and experienced place deep inside.

I couldn't dream of a 9 yr old child performing Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put a Spell on You", until now. She knocks it out of the park.

So confident, relaxed, a little smile at the camera and owning the stage. Unbelievable at age 10.

This was absolutely phenomenal. Utterly surreal to hear such sounds appearing to come from that little young person. I'm blown away.
