Angelina Jordan Astar is 9 years old, but her voice is from another era entirely.
The young songstress was just 8 years old when she won "Norway's Got Talent," but she started at an even younger age.
Her Facebook page says that she discovered YouTube at just 18 months and began singing along with Whitney Houston songs that she found on the video site.
Astar has a smoky, soulful voice redolent of Billie Holiday, whose version of "Gloomy Sunday" provided audition fodder for the 9-year-old's appearance on "Norway's Got Talent."
She also appeared on ABC's "The View" with a torchy cover of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" and performed "What A Wonderful World" for last year's Nobel Peace Prize laureates Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai.
