Angelina performs barefoot for a wonderful reason. At age 6 she travelled through the Middle - East and met a lot girl in the streets without shoes and with scarred feet. Angelina gave her boots to the girl. Since she has performed barefoot both in remembrance of this girl and to raise awareness for our kids everywhere. She had helped raise millions for his thorough charities. She is not only an inspiring artist but also an inspiring person. Her special power is story telling and covering emotions while doing that. It's like she reaches intomy brain straight where all the good stuff happens.
@@Winedineandrhyme In regards to why she always barefoot - Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her and are dedicated in supporting her career.....
It's not her age, though of course it is remarkable that someone so young can sing so incredibly well. Rather, it's the fact that her tone and her talent are simply unique. I've never heard another singer with the qualities in her voice, and I've never heard another singer who moves me like Angelina, of any age.
That woman you pointed out crying was Angelinas grandma Mery ❤️ The woman sitting besides her was Angelinas mom Sara and the little girl besides Sara was Angelinas little sister Juliette ❤️ The Arrangement of that song was so beautiful and unique... never heard Bohemian Rhapsody like that ever ❤️
Why Angelina always performs barefoot♥👣 For those who do not know. At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.

Mitchell, at age 6, Angelina took a stroll with her mom Sarah in, I think it was Teheran, in winter with freezing rain. She saw a little girl weighing people on a bathroom scale for a few coins. Beggars go to jail, regardless their age. Angelina imagined herself into this barefoot (scars on the feet) girl with rags on in the freezing rain. Finally they approached and after a bit of shyness on the shoeless girls side they struck up a conversation, Angelina speaks fluently Farsi/Persian, While speaking AJ took her shoes of and stepped on the scales many, many times, so the girl would earn the money . The girl admired her shoes and when her mom nodded consent, she gave her sea green ankle boots to the girl. AJ vowed, to perform barefoot until every child has shoes. Be safe and happy. Elmar from Germany.
No Shoes When AJ was very small, she meets a girl on the Steet in a foreign country that was weighing people with a bathroom scale to make money to buy food, the girl did not have shoes, so Angelina took her shoes off and gave them to her. AJ stated she would not wear shoes while performing until ever shoeless child had shoes to wear. AJ has helped raise millions for charity, so she is not just the greatest storytelling signature vocalist in the world, she cares.
- The Barefoot Princess - (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.) Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true you, have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
That lady crying is Angelina's Grandmother and Mentor. The one that I believe first introduced her to Jazz although I believe that is what she was drawn to regardless. This video offers a great opportunity to introduce new reactors to Angelina's family and their support for her career. When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷

The reason why Angelina's fans love her so much is not just for her singing but also because of her personality - to now her check the interview I sent you in the previous comment. By the way, the part where you stopped the video to show the lady crying was showing Angelina's Family - In the corner her grandma Mary Zamani, then her mother Sara then little girl Angelina's sister Juliette then her uncle Michael (he is her manager)
And now the countdown begins. Angelina released an album called "It's Magic" when she was 12, but sometime this year, probably after she graduates from High School, she will drop her first commercial album with Republic Records. Concert promoters take note...
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ Chills and goosebumps every time I listen to that performance ❤️ AJ is amazing and unique ❤️ Her barefoot story is a heartfelt one and another reason why we love her ❤️
Yes, chills. Runs and riffs. That is what you mean. That crying lady is Angelina's beloved Grandma Mery. The rest of the family were next to her. You see them stand, also. They go wild when Heidi Klum gives Angelina Jordan her golden buzzer, sending Angelina straight to the finals. This version of Bohemian Rhapsody is Angelina's own arrangement, and Queen members were impressed and gave her the rights to her version. So nice to watch you appreciate this voice that carries a quality above and beyond the norm. Grandma Ellen, out.
The woman wiping the tear from the little girl is Angelina's mother. The litter girls in Angelina's sister, the older woman is Angelina's grandmother, and the man is Angelina's uncle.
The person you pointed out… the one who was crying… She’s the one person in the whole world that means SO much to Angelina Jordan. Angelina has said of her “…she’s my inspiration, my best friend… my everything”. That woman is Angelina’s Grandma, Mery Zamani. ❤️🖤❤️
Absolutely gorgeous performance from a musical genius, After this performance Angelina received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating Angelina on a amazing arrangement of their original song, and the guy’s from Queen gave Angelina the copyright of her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, this performance has around 100 million views and is considered the best audition on a talent show, Angelina also received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, Angelina is so special her technical ability has always surpassed her years, great reaction thanks 🙏
The lady "crying " is her Grandma Merì Zamani, a world wide famous painter, poet,Artist. She's Iranian. Her husband( Angelina's Grandpa) was Japanise. They are Sara's parents. Sara is Angelina's mom. Norwegian. Her dad is Swedish. Do you get my point? She's a gift from heaven and she has this multicultural background that makes her SPECIAL not only for her singing qualities but for her human qualities. There's still a lot you must learn about her. Do your homework. 🤟❤️
The lady you pointed out that cried is Angelina Grandma... She was the one that discovered Angelina talent as a little kid. The woman next to her is Angelina mom. And the little girl next to her is her little sister.
Amazing indeed. Angie is a master at her craft. The girl has more soul in her little finger than most people have in their entire bodies. Thanks for the reaction. Love, love, love that girl. ❤🤴🏻
The little lady is her younger sister Julliete, the blonde is mom Sarah, the gray hear belong to grandma Mery and on the other side of Juliette is moms brother uncle Mike AJ´s Manager and protector.
That lady you saw crying is Angelina’s grandma, Mery Zamani. Grandma Mery was an artistic child prodigy herself. She is Angelina’s greatest creative influence and mentor. The blind lady beside her is Angelina’s mother, Sarah, then Angelina’s little sister, Juliette and the man with the beard on the other side of Juliette is Angelina’s uncle Michael, whom is also Angelina’s agent.
That legengary women crying is none other than Grandma Meri. And the Blonde next to her is her mom Sara and her sister and uncle/manager Micheal. Edit: my fav of her is What is Life. It is one of her first written compositions. No other song is like it and it takes you to your happy place.

You could have known why Angelina always performs barefoot. It's mentioned several times in the comments to your previous Angelina reactions. So, since you ask US to comment, I would ask YOU to read the comments!
Great comment. I’d like you to know that these videos are recorded in bulk all at once and scheduled to automatically upload on UA-cam. That being said, it looks like the next day I recorded and uploaded a new video without reading comments from the video before, but that’s not the case.

Love your reactions! You are very genuine. IMHO, AJ stands out because of heart and soul. One request, if you could separate your reactions by artist into playlists, it would ensure we can find all your reactions. Thanks!
Love Pentatonix and they did an amazing cover of this song. One of my favorite videos on YT. There is a commenter that said you can listen to great singers and "hear" great music but with Angelina you "feel" the music. I agree and that is why Angelina is special. Here is Angelina's 10 year old arrangement and on stage performance with a great jazz band for a charity telethon TV program in Norway, the classic "FEELING GOOD": ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
Welcome to the AJ freight train. AJ's best performance is always the last one you watched. She will surprise you every time you listen to her. Great reaction, and looking forward to more. Check out her latest studio cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing": ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html.

She wrote a book about why she is barefoot-- she met a homeless girl who had no shoes in the Middle East, so she gave her her own shoes and vowed to sing barefoot until all children in the world have shoes. Her book is illustrated by her grandmother and she is the youngest published author in Norway. English is not even her first language-- although I think schools in Norway teach a lot in English.
@@103mrg Of course I have read it. I have read it many times. I purchased it from her website. I summarized it succinctly, but of course it is better to read the book. I described how she is the youngest publisehd author in Norway, and how her grandmother illustrated the book. How rude of you and what very wrong assumption. What, pray tell, do you think I got wrong? And have you read her book?
@@jamesbull6266 You wrote: "vowed to sing barefoot until all children in the world have shoes". Nowhere in the book is there any mention of this. And the little girl wasn't homeless.

Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money.

The reason why Angelina's fans love her so much is not just for her singing but also because of her personality - to now her check the interview I sent you in the previous comment. By the way, the part where you stopped the video to show the lady crying was showing Angelina's Family - In the corner her grandma Mary Zamani, then her mother Sara then little girl Angelina's sister Juliette then her uncle Michael (he is her manager)
I'm sure someone has explained the reason she always performs bare feet. How wonderful it is to see your reactions to AJ ❤️☺️
There are singers, and there are listeners. You and I, we are listeners!..:) Peace
And now the countdown begins. Angelina released an album called "It's Magic" when she was 12, but sometime this year, probably after she graduates from High School, she will drop her first commercial album with Republic Records. Concert promoters take note...
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ Chills and goosebumps every time I listen to that performance ❤️ AJ is amazing and unique ❤️ Her barefoot story is a heartfelt one and another reason why we love her ❤️
Yes, chills. Runs and riffs. That is what you mean. That crying lady is Angelina's beloved Grandma Mery. The rest of the family were next to her. You see them stand, also. They go wild when Heidi Klum gives Angelina Jordan her golden buzzer, sending Angelina straight to the finals. This version of Bohemian Rhapsody is Angelina's own arrangement, and Queen members were impressed and gave her the rights to her version. So nice to watch you appreciate this voice that carries a quality above and beyond the norm. Grandma Ellen, out.
She do this song from a killersong to a lovesong..and got a golden buzzer at this song..😊💟
I get chills every time I watch this! 🥰 She's amazing!
Awesome reaction and lady crying was Mery Zamani, her Grandma, the one who was her influence on Jazz, God Bless!
The woman wiping the tear from the little girl is Angelina's mother. The litter girls in Angelina's sister, the older woman is Angelina's grandmother, and the man is Angelina's uncle.
Thank you my sweetheart for reacting to our Barefoot Princess bless your heart hugs be safe😻
The person you pointed out… the one who was crying… She’s the one person in the whole world that means SO much to Angelina Jordan. Angelina has said of her “…she’s my inspiration, my best friend… my everything”. That woman is Angelina’s Grandma, Mery Zamani. ❤️🖤❤️
BTW, I loved your reaction. 👍😉
🖤👣
Yes: she is special ! :)
Absolutely gorgeous performance from a musical genius, After this performance Angelina received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating Angelina on a amazing arrangement of their original song, and the guy’s from Queen gave Angelina the copyright of her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, this performance has around 100 million views and is considered the best audition on a talent show, Angelina also received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, Angelina is so special her technical ability has always surpassed her years, great reaction thanks 🙏
I would say people like Angelina better because she sings from her heart and you can feel her music ❤
The lady "crying " is her Grandma Merì Zamani, a world wide famous painter, poet,Artist. She's Iranian. Her husband( Angelina's Grandpa) was Japanise. They are Sara's parents. Sara is Angelina's mom. Norwegian. Her dad is Swedish. Do you get my point? She's a gift from heaven and she has this multicultural background that makes her SPECIAL not only for her singing qualities but for her human qualities. There's still a lot you must learn about her. Do your homework. 🤟❤️
The lady you pointed out that cried is Angelina Grandma... She was the one that discovered Angelina talent as a little kid. The woman next to her is Angelina mom. And the little girl next to her is her little sister.
Amazing indeed. Angie is a master at her craft. The girl has more soul in her little finger than most people have in their entire bodies. Thanks for the reaction. Love, love, love that girl. ❤🤴🏻
The little lady is her younger sister Julliete, the blonde is mom Sarah, the gray hear belong to grandma Mery and on the other side of Juliette is moms brother uncle Mike AJ´s Manager and protector.
That lady you saw crying is Angelina’s grandma, Mery Zamani. Grandma Mery was an artistic child prodigy herself. She is Angelina’s greatest creative influence and mentor. The blind lady beside her is Angelina’s mother, Sarah, then Angelina’s little sister, Juliette and the man with the beard on the other side of Juliette is Angelina’s uncle Michael, whom is also Angelina’s agent.
This video of AJ performing Bohemian Rhapsody has been viewed over 150 million times.
That legengary women crying is none other than Grandma Meri. And the Blonde next to her is her mom Sara and her sister and uncle/manager Micheal.
Edit: my fav of her is What is Life. It is one of her first written compositions. No other song is like it and it takes you to your happy place.

Thank You for your 3 nice reactions so far. I`ve enjoyed them a couple of times already 😉😊🤗
You could have known why Angelina always performs barefoot. It's mentioned several times in the comments to your previous Angelina reactions. So, since you ask US to comment, I would ask YOU to read the comments!
Great comment. I’d like you to know that these videos are recorded in bulk all at once and scheduled to automatically upload on UA-cam. That being said, it looks like the next day I recorded and uploaded a new video without reading comments from the video before, but that’s not the case.
Thanks for the reaction.
You have a great journey ahead with Angelina. 👍😊♥️
No problem 😊
We LOVE her!
Thank you!😊😊👍👍
She wrote a book, “Between Two Hearts”, in which she explains why she performs barefoot.
That’s her grandmother crying ❤😢
The woman who you said was crying is Angelinas grandmother ❤😊
The intro is good because many times information is given that will help you know more about her.
Yah man.... That's our girl you're watching and reacting to. 😇🦶🦶
Why Angelina always performs barefoot
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Love your reactions! You are very genuine. IMHO, AJ stands out because of heart and soul.
One request, if you could separate your reactions by artist into playlists, it would ensure we can find all your reactions. Thanks!
❤️ your reaction and you got a new sub from a hug Angelina fan 👍🥰
Thanks for subbing!
Love Pentatonix and they did an amazing cover of this song. One of my favorite videos on YT. There is a commenter that said you can listen to great singers and "hear" great music but with Angelina you "feel" the music. I agree and that is why Angelina is special. Here is Angelina's 10 year old arrangement and on stage performance with a great jazz band for a charity telethon TV program in Norway, the classic "FEELING GOOD": ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
Welcome to the AJ freight train. AJ's best performance is always the last one you watched. She will surprise you every time you listen to her. Great reaction, and looking forward to more. Check out her latest studio cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing": ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html. Or go back in time to when she was 8 and in the finals of Norway's Got Talent: ua-cam.com/video/zN4kAof1is0/v-deo.html
I'll check it out!
The phone light was a nice touch bro. 👍😅
💯
The lady that you said his crying is her Grandmother.❤
♥♥♥♥♥
That woman crying was her grandmother, hee mother was sitting next to her
🤣 yup we r HUGE fans 🤣 Try listening to Dimash Kudaibergen as well (his fans "Dears" r nice aswell 😉) Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel 🌷🇩🇰❤️
Pentatonix is not bad, the only difference is their sound is heavily processed while Angelina's voice is real, for the most part.
I agree
The "lady" u say is crying is AJ's mom 😉
She wrote a book about why she is barefoot-- she met a homeless girl who had no shoes in the Middle East, so she gave her her own shoes and vowed to sing barefoot until all children in the world have shoes. Her book is illustrated by her grandmother and she is the youngest published author in Norway. English is not even her first language-- although I think schools in Norway teach a lot in English.
James You obviously haven't read the book.
@@103mrg Of course I have read it. I have read it many times. I purchased it from her website. I summarized it succinctly, but of course it is better to read the book. I described how she is the youngest publisehd author in Norway, and how her grandmother illustrated the book. How rude of you and what very wrong assumption. What, pray tell, do you think I got wrong? And have you read her book?
@@jamesbull6266 You wrote: "vowed to sing barefoot until all children in the world have shoes". Nowhere in the book is there any mention of this. And the little girl wasn't homeless.
👍👍🤩🤩👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Heidi gave Angelina the golden buzzer on this performance. They cut out Heidi's reaction for some reason. SMH.
可否中文歌詞
Stop stopping the video please.
You shouldn't swear, there are a lot of people opposed to swearing,..😊 and saying Jesus Christ the way you did is also a swear word.😮
As often as you cut into the song it ruins it😢
ABSOLUTE!!!!!!
