If you watched Norway’s Got Talent in 2014, you will remember Angelina Jordan. The seven-year-old singer who stunned the judges with her audition performance of Billie Holliday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, and who went on to win the show.
This week, Angelina Jordan is back on a talent show. This time on the prestigious America’s Got Talent: The Champions, with a stunning performance of a stripped-down version of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
Before she started singing, Jordan, now 13, explained why she’s been looking forward to singing on this stage for so long.
“I waited 10 years to sing for Simon, and… finally”.
“What is it about Simon?” asked Judge Heidi Klum.
“He’s just amazing. He’s a legend, ”Jordan replied with a laugh.
Angelina Jordan then sang Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, starting the song a cappella and then continuing in a sultry, stripped-down jazz style that not only had most of the audience waving their cell phone lights up in the air, but judging. Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Alesha Dixon and Howie Mandel find themselves in shock.
As she finished with a magnificent “Nothing really matters to me”, the crowd went wild and each judge gave her a standing ovation.
But, while Simon Cowell said he thought the performance was “amazing” and that the arrangement of the song was obviously something Jordan had done herself, it was Heidi Klum who hit the Golden Buzzer. , sending Angelina Jordan straight to concerts.
And again, if you look at the reactions from the audience and the judges, it’s a safe bet that Angelina Jordan will likely find herself in the finals of America’s Got Talent: The Champions quite easily.
If she continues to sing at this caliber, that’s fine.
After all, it’s rare to find such a young musical talent that has such a rich tone and genuine emotion to their voice.

You can also find some of his other performances on YouTube.
In truth, not that much though. Especially when you consider that she won Norway’s Got Talent almost six years ago. But that’s because her parents limit the number of times she’s allowed to sing in public each year because they think it’s important for her to be a child first and foremost.
