Amazing seven year old girl Angelina Jordan Astar sings Gloomy Sunday / Billie Holiday



Angelina Jordan Astar ( 8) is one of the participants who asked for " Norwegian Talents" audition in Oslo.Angelina's talent is singing and in her audition , she choose to sing the Hungarian song " Gloomy Sunday ", which was written in 1933 and that Billie Holiday had a big hit with in 1941.



- The reason I chose this song is totally random . I love jazz , but " Gloomy Sunday " was accidental. It was a night I could not sleep and my mom was stressed that I was awake long after midnight . Then I borrowed mum's iPad where I would listen to jazz on YouTube before I fell asleep . Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and closed eyes. I am talking about jazz queen Billie Holiday, she said to the norwegian television channel TV 2.




 I heard the song " Glommy Sunday " that night and then I had to hear it every day . I love the melody. I understood very well what the text was about because I understand english. Every time I sang it , I felt something special about it, it 's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for my mom , she said that this song is nice , but it was a incredibly sad song.

It is clear that the judges liked what they heard. What Mia and her colleagues Judge Omer Bhatti , Bjarte Hjelmeland and Barrel Lisa says to her after the performance was an undisputed unified big YES. 


Despite her young age , she has already managed to take music and singing lessons for four years. There is little doubt that Angelina finds great joy in singing .- I sing differently, but love to sing everything from Nancy Sinatra, Shirley Bassey and Julia London
   Mia, Omer , Lisa and Woody are judges I have great respect for. I know why they sit there and judge in "Norwegian Talents" it is not because they look good , but because they have super talent themselves and therefore can judge other talents. Singing is my passion. I was convinced that my love is big enough to sing. -
