Holy cow - we've got goosebumps on our goosebumps after watching this clip.

VIDEO: Incredible 8-year-old sings Nancy Sinatra on Norway's Got Talent

This clip gave us the proper shivers this morning - incredible footage of 8-year-old Angelina Jordan Astar performing on the semi-finals of 'Norske Talenter' (Norway's Got Talent) on Saturday night.

The shockingly talented Angelina leaves judges and audience spellbound with her rendition of 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)', orginally a hit for Cher in 1966 but popularized by Nancy Sinatra, whose version appeared in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 movie 'Kill Bill'.

She absolutely nails it - seriously, watch this and try not to be moved.

Unsurprisingly, this performance rocketed Angelina into the finals of the show set to be broadcast next month, and surely leaves her as favourite to win the thing outright.

Having taken the top spot on Saturday night, she's confident ahead of the finals.

" I'm not nervous, because I believe in myself," she told Norway's TV2.

The precociously talented primary school kid - who manages to squeeze all the soulful smoky hearbreak of a sixties torch song singer into the body of an eight-year-old Scandinavian - had already been making waves online with the below clip of her original Norske Talenter audition.

She sang 'Gloomy Sunday' by Billie Holiday, once again leaving the quartet of judges agog.

Her interest in song stems from her having discovered YouTube aged one and a half, her parents explained.

"She had heard Whitney Houston and loved the song 'I Will Always Love You'," they said.

"The next thing we know she was able to find YouTube on the laptop, type in the first four letters of the song title and sing along."

As she grew older her tastes expanded to include jazz, and Angelina fell in love with Billie Holiday, entertaining her family at weekends with karaoke versions of Lady Day classics.

Earlier this year she saw an advertisement for Norske Talenter, asked if she could apply - and the rest is history.
