Angelina Jordan was one and a half years old when she discovered YouTube – she had heard Whitney Houston few months before and she loved the song "I will always love you".
"The next thing we learnt was that she could type in youtube.com on the laptop, typing the first four letters to find a song. Since then she would sit there listening to her favourite tracks."
From listening she began to sing along with Whitney. We discovered that she is impressive for her age. Months passed and her interest in music began to expand as she started listening to jazz tracks and old tracks by many artists. From related music videos she found Billy Holiday and fell in love with her. She sang along and after a while she asked if it was possible to have a karaoke version of her favourite songs.
She used her weekends to sing her favourite melodies for the family. In 2014 she saw an advertisement for "Norway's got talent" and wanted so eagerly to apply for that audition. From that audition the path to world wide recognition and fame was very short and suddenly became a reality.
Back To Black
Angelina Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crazy you say, am I?
I laugh, I cry, I love
My eyes
See well others, I cry
With strangers you are high
I'm alone and with no one, I cry
In loneliness behind this lie
From this fun part of life
Every night become a stars and I leave the stars
Shame they get it's so a far
I'm the one who speaks to the moon
I didn't want to be in love
I fall back to, I fall back in
I fall back in
Ohhh
I love you so
I laught at you
I have no warn, but the wind
I had gone away so many times
Just to fall and back to life or love with you again
I'm the one who speaks to the moon
I didn't want to be in love
I fall back to, I fall back in
I'm the one who speaks to the moon
I didn't want to be in love
I fall back to, I fall back in
I fall back in
(Laught)
I still laughing
I still loving
(I'm the one who speaks to the moon
I didn't want to be in love
I fall back to, I fall back in)
Love
In "Back to Black," Angelina Jordan seems to be reflecting on a past relationship marked by intense emotions of love, laughter, and tears. The lyrics suggest that the relationship ended badly, leaving the singer feeling alone and constantly thinking of her former lover. The opening line, "I have dumped by your love," indicates that the relationship was one-sided, with the singer feeling as if she was the one who was left behind. She then questions the sanity of her own emotions, wondering if she is crazy for laughing and crying over a love that has ended.
Throughout the song, Angelina seems to be oscillating between two emotional states: loneliness and a desire for connection. In the first verse, she describes feeling alone and crying behind a false facade. However, she then goes on to talk about how every night becomes a chance to see the stars and to speak to the moon, suggesting a longing for a deeper connection. She even admits that she falls "back in" love, indicating that despite the pain and heartbreak, she cannot help but return to the person who left her feeling "back to black."
Overall, "Back to Black" seems to be a meditation on the emotions that come with the end of a relationship. Angelina Jordan's haunting voice and evocative lyrics draw the listener in, creating a sense of intimacy and shared experience.

Angelina is just 10 years old and she is already singing this way. Please let her grow at her pace, don't rush!, she must keep her love for singing, so we will enjoy Angelina for many years to come.
@adriana725
Totally agree!!! The músic industry messes them up.
@marktuan9270
lmao no she likes to sing those songs
@Tuumeke
+Zvonko Pino This is her normal singing voice... she is a very old soul ith an unnatural talent
@lesbsocal9107
She's got the chops. Can't keep that down.
@donotthink
I'm fairly confident her parents let her run this show herself. They have stated repeatedly that they want her to have a normal upbringing as possible, including public school and chores at home.
