At just 14 years old, Norwegian singer Angelina Jordan mesmerized audiences worldwide with her breathtaking rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent: The Champions on January 6, 2020. Having first gained recognition at the age of eight when she won Norway’s Got Talent, Angelina was already known for her unique voice and sophisticated musical style. However, her performance on The Champions further solidified her reputation as an extraordinary talent.
Taking on Queen’s iconic anthem was a bold choice, but Angelina made it entirely her own, transforming the rock classic into a soulful, jazz-infused ballad. Her hauntingly beautiful vocals, filled with emotion and depth far beyond her years, left an undeniable impact on the audience. The delicate yet powerful delivery gave the song a fresh, ethereal quality that resonated deeply with viewers.
Simon Cowell was among the judges who praised her artistry, noting her remarkable maturity and unique interpretation. He emphasized that very few artists, especially at her age, could convey such profound emotional depth. Competing against some of the most talented acts from around the world, Angelina stood out for her ability to reimagine a legendary song in a deeply personal and moving way.
Her version of Bohemian Rhapsody showcased not only her impeccable vocal control but also her gift for storytelling through music. Fans and judges alike were captivated by her ability to take a well-known song and breathe new life into it.
Although ventriloquist Darci Lynne ultimately won America’s Got Talent: The Champions, Angelina Jordan’s unforgettable performance remains one of the show’s defining moments. With her extraordinary versatility and soul-stirring voice, she continues to be recognized as one of the most gifted young vocalists in the world, capable of mastering any genre with grace and passion.
