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.
Taking on such an iconic song is no small feat, yet Angelina managed to do so with grace and authenticity. As she began her rendition of “It’s Now or Never,” it became clear that her talent was immense.
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.
