'''Singing''' is, of course, a ''huge'' topic when it comes to Angelina Jordan. Which is why this article is so much a "work in progress".

==Beginnings==

Angelina began singing when she was [[1½]] years old.<ref>{{cite web|url=//newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/kaleidoscope-ball-raises-record-3-5-million-for-pediatric-research |title=Kaleidoscope Ball raises record $3.5 million for pediatric research |date=2016-05-26 |website=UCLA Newsroom |accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite by URL|www.angelinajordanofficial.com/about|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> A short video clip of her [[singing as a baby]] aired on the TV show ''[[Lørdagsmagasinet]]'' on {{d|2014-04-05}}.<ref>{{ytv|4EPqVvliE7I|t=111s|Angelina Jordan - News feature in Norwegian TV2 from 2014 (eng sub)|channel-name=Yozhik v Tumane|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> An ''[[A-magasinet]]'' {{()|{{lp|Aftenposten}} ''A-Magazine''}} article from 2017-12 or perhaps 2018-01<ref name="Aftenposten2017">The exact date and title of the article is unclear. It appears to have been included at the bottom of the following article:<br />{{cite article|url=//www.aftenposten.no/amagasinet/i/dd5baq/angelina-jordan-13-sikret-seg-finaleplass-i-americas-got-talent |title=Angelina Jordan (13) sikret seg finaleplass i «America’s Got Talent» |trans-title=…secured a place in the finals in… |first=Wenche |last=Fuglehaug |publisher=Aftenposten |date=2020-01-08 |accessed=2023-06-19}}<br />It {{unknown|may still be there}}, visible only to paying readers. The later article describes the earlier one as "A-magazine's big interview with the Norwegian shooting star in 2017". The exact source used for this article is a cobbled-together PDF copy of both articles found in the {{fbl|groups/angelinajordanfanclubtheshield/files|files of the "Angelina Jordan Fan Club - The Shield" Facebook group}}</ref> describes the moment that Angelina's rare singing ability was discovered:
<blockquote>
Oslo, a July evening in 2007: One-and-a-half-year-old Angelina is at home with the babysitter. Mother [[Sara Astar]] lets herself in and nearly goes into shock when she looks into the bedroom. Her daughter is sitting in bed mumble-singing Whitney Huston's "I Will Always Love You". That sounds so nice, Sara thinks, and she senses something more in her daughter's voice. A peculiarity she is unable to define there and then.<ref group="note">This is Google's translation of the original Norwegian text, improved in places based on retranslations of certain isolated phrases that sounded awkward in the original full translation.</ref>
</blockquote>

==Training==

Angelina received general [[musical training]] in [[primary school]] and received additional vocal training in an afterschool program at the [[Oslo Municipal School of Music and Culture]] [Oslo musikk- og kulturskole] in [[Marienlyst]].<ref name="Aftenposten2017" />

==Vocal range==

{{As of|the end of 2022|update-after=2023-12-31}}, the [[lowest note]] Angelina has sung in any online video is slightly lower than a [[piano notes|C3]] in "[[How Great Thou Art]]",<ref>{{ytv|WLAEy1LIHrc|Angelina Jordan - How Great Thou Art|cn=Yozhik v Tumane|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> recorded when she was 12 (but not posted until she was 13).<ref group="note">"On paper", the note would be a C3, given the key she was singing in, but she {{assumption|seems to have been trying}} to swoop up to the note from below it, hence the slightly lower pitch. For the dating of the performance, see {{ytv|2uQyt2T3ayE|Alan Papier's interview with Ivan Mendez}}.</ref> The lowest note she has sung ''with good [[breath support]]'' is a [[piano notes|D3]] in that same song, as well as in several other songs.<!-- including…? -->

{{As of|the end of 2022|update-after=2023-12-31}}, the [[highest note]] she has sung is a "screech" pitched {{uncertain|somewhere around}} a [[piano notes|G6]] in the black-and-white music video for "[[I Put a Spell on You]]",<ref>{{ytv|nwFloCPXzCs|Angelina Jordan - I Put A Spell On You|cn=Angelina Jordan Official|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> recorded sometime in the first few months after she turned 9.<ref group="note">For the dating of this performance, see the information at [[Timeline#2015-05-09]].</ref> Since that note was not sung particularly cleanly, it is worth considering the highest "pure-tone" note and the highest [[belted]] note she has sung (again, {{as of|the end of 2022|update-after=2023-12-31|lc=y}}). The first of these would be a [[piano notes|G5]] in [[head voice]] (or [[falsetto]], depending on your point of view) in "[[Unchained Melody]]", sung on the TV talk show ''[[Lindmo]]'' when she was 9<ref>{{ytv|wPfMzMeBLbo|Angelina Jordan synger hos Lindmo|cn=NRK|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref><!-- what about the earlier rehearsals? also, may not be the highest anymore --> and again later in a video recorded at home when she was {{uncertain|probably 12}}.<ref>{{ytv|TroRUF2iwHA|Angelina Jordan Unchained Melody|cn=Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> Her highest belted note (in [[mixed voice]]) is an [[piano notes|E5]] in her original cover of "[[I Have Nothing]]", recorded when she was 13, {{uncertain|or possibly 12}}.<ref>{{ytv|eTcvvO6B3Io|Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute)|cn=Angelina Jordan CoverChannel|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref>

Outside of singing, the highest pitch Angelina is documented to have ever emitted is a scream that she let out while riding a roller coaster at the [[Tusenfryd]] amusement park when she was 10.<ref>{{ytv|3XXFu_V8Lcs|Angelina Jordan - News Feature - Norway - 2016 (subtitled)|cn=pa1189w|accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> The pitch of this scream {{unknown|has not been determined}}.

For reference, the {{w|Guinness World Record}} for the lowest note sung by a female is a [[piano notes|C♯1]] (nearly 2 octaves below Angelina's C3) by Canadian singer Joy Chapman in 2021<ref>{{cite web|url=//www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/358819-lowest-vocal-note-by-a-female |title=Lowest vocal note by a female |website=Guinness World Records |accessed=2023-06-19}}</ref> and the greatest vocal ''range'' by a female is from [[piano notes|G2]] (3 notes below a C3) to G10 (4 octaves above a G6, which, as Guinness points out, is not technically even a musical note, as its frequency of just over 25,000 {{w|Hertz|Hz}} is far above the hearing ability of most humans, which generally tops out at around 20,000 Hz). The latter record, which {{uncertain|apparently includes the record highest note}}, has been held by Brazilian singer Georgia Brown since 2004.
