It has been over eight years since the world tragically lost Whitney Houston, but her vocal prowess still affects the hearts of many around the world.

Grammy award-winning Whitney Houston is one of the most talented and well-accomplished singers of all time. She has made hit after hit during the height of her career with songs boasting her ability to belt out and prolong high notes with perfection.

When Oslo born teenager Angelina Jordan watched Whitney Houston singing the 1993 chart-topping hit, “I Will Always Love You,” on YouTube as a little girl, it ignited her passion for music. She could not let go of this love for music ever since. As a tribute to the artist whom she idolizes, she decided to sing Whitney’s Houston’s song “I Have Nothing.” What a fantastic way to honor the woman who sparked her love for music.

At a young age of fourteen, Angelina Jordan has become a familiar name around the world thanks to her soulful voice. She became a contestant on “Norway’s Got Talent” when she was seven years old and blew audiences away with her talent. She possessed a mature voice at such as young age that many compared her to Billie Holiday and other legendary vocalists.

Since her stint on Norway’s Got Talent, she has been singing for audiences, virtually and in person.

Angelina Jordan’s official website states, “Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. Angelina’s videos have received over 300 million views on YouTube and almost 1 billion views on Facebook.”

It is not uncommon for people to feel overwhelmed by the vocal prowess of artists like Celine Dion, Cher, Alicia Keys, and Whitney Houston. Out of intimidation, so many singers choose not perform these artists’ cover songs. Angelina Jordan isn’t one of them. She has no hesitation covering songs originally performed by these artists because she has the talent to back her up.

Angelina’s cover of “I Have Nothing” will leave you speechless.

Angelina Jordan is only a teenager but possesses such powerhouse vocals that many cannot achieve even in adulthood.

This sensational talent comes naturally to Angelina. You can tell by her performance that she is a natural. Throughout the video, you can see her switch easily from smiling, singing with emotion, then smiling again to the camera, to belting out those high notes. She can seamlessly work her youthful charm while singing like a pro in front of the camera.

Angelina singing the chorus of “I Have Nothing” is simply mind-blowing. It takes your breath away, seeing a young girl hit those peak notes. She sings,

“But don’t make me close one more door

I don’t wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don’t walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing”

Angelina caps off her tribute with another small and innocent smile and a quick wave to her virtual audience. She ends her performance looking fresh, seemingly undaunted by all those challenging melodies. She clearly was born to do this.
