Singing

This article is about her singing, per se (characteristics, techniques, abilities, etc.). For information about songs she has sung, please see Songs.

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. A short video clip of her singing as a baby aired on the TV show Lørdagsmagasinet on 2014-04-05. An A-magasinet [Aftenposten's A-Magazine] article from 2017-12 or perhaps 2018-01 describes the moment that Angelina's rare singing ability was discovered:

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.

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.

Vocal range

As of the end of 2022, the lowest note Angelina has sung in any online video is slightly lower than a C3 in "How Great Thou Art", recorded when she was 12 (but not posted until she was 13). The lowest note she has sung with good breath support is a D3 in that same song, as well as in several other songs.

As of the end of 2022, the highest note she has sung is a "screech" pitched somewhere around a G6 in the black-and-white music video for "I Put a Spell on You", recorded sometime in the first few months after she turned 9. 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). The first of these would be a 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 and again later in a video recorded at home when she was probably 12. Her highest belted note (in mixed voice) is an E5 in her original cover of "I Have Nothing", recorded when she was 13, or possibly 12.

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. The pitch of this scream has not been determined.

For reference, the Guinness World Record^↗ for the lowest note sung by a female is a C♯1 (nearly 2 octaves below Angelina's C3) by Canadian singer Joy Chapman in 2021 and the greatest vocal range by a female is from 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 Hz^↗ is far above the hearing ability of most humans, which generally tops out at around 20,000 Hz). The latter record, which apparently includes the record highest note, has been held by Brazilian singer Georgia Brown since 2004.
