The legend of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, would undoubtedly be beaming with pride at Angelina Jordan’s rendition of his classic hit “It’s Now Or Never.” Performed in Halden, Norway, back in 2017, Angelina, merely 11 years old at the time, took the stage and delivered a performance that was both heartfelt and mature beyond her years.
Elvis Presley became a household name in the 1950s with his timeless music and catchy grooves, sparking a legacy that continues to thrive. Today, his influence is so pervasive that Elvis impersonators have become a cultural phenomenon, especially in Las Vegas. Known for its plethora of impersonators, Vegas offers an Elvis for every occasion, from weddings to funerals, proving the King’s enduring appeal.
Alongside the looks, many tried to emulate Elvis’ voice as well, however, it’s not even close. Despite the countless attempts to capture Elvis’s unique sound, very few have come close to replicating the magic of his voice.
All, except Angelina Jordan, a young talent from Norway, whose performance has not only honored the King’s legacy but also introduced her remarkable abilities to a worldwide audience. Her performance at the Fredriksten Fortress in Norway was a defining moment, drawing eager anticipation and, of course, skepticism from the audience as she announced her intention to sing an Elvis tune.
Angelina Jordan’s rendition of this classic hit is truly remarkable, especially considering her young age. Most would anticipate a song choice more aligned with her years, yet Angelina boldly embraces the complexity of this mature melody without missing a step.
Her performance resonates with echoes of Elvis himself, capturing the essence of his iconic sound as she effortlessly hits the hardest notes of the song. The depth and richness of her voice are astonishing, leaving listeners in awe of her prodigious talent. When it comes to raw prodigies like this, age just doesn’t matter.
From a tender age, Angelina has been enchanting audiences with her vocal prowess. Her journey into the spotlight began at just eight years old with a memorable appearance on Norway’s Got Talent, marking the start of a star in the making. Here’s another Elvis cover from Angelina that you should definitely hear:
Despite her growing fame, Angelina remains grounded. She dedicates her time to her studies at the Oslo Waldorf School and hones her musical skills at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts. Her peers admire her not just for her extraordinary talent, but for her dedication and humility as well.
Angelina’s early success is a testament to her hard work and innate talent, which even the great Elvis Presley would be proud of. She’s not just a fleeting sensation; she’s a natural performer whose abilities have rightfully earned her recognition. As we look to the future, there’s an eager anticipation for what’s to come, as the young Angelina can only get better from now on.
