Thank you for reacting to the diamond vocals - The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is a young living legend.
When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. No need to hurry, I'm sure Angelina has good people around her. I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 650 Million Views on UA-cam and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. 600,000 followers on her Offical channel, 250,000 Instagram followers, 140,000 Spotify 👍👍😊😊 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via UA-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years I know that we will see great things from Angelina.
If you need to identify who she sound like, I can tell you that she has 1000 different voices to choose from, depending on the song choice and type .. It's Angelina.
Thank you for watching
More likely 4th language, after Norwegian, Swedish, and Farsi (Iran).
She does her music arrangements and plays guitar, violin, flute and piano
She was only 7 years old when she did this ! STUNNING !!!!!
Love her! Never heard her do this song before...where the heck have I been? That growl!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLUES Goddess!
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan 🥰
This was recorded just 13 months after she became Norway's youngest Published Author and her charities are garnering MILLIONS for Children's Charities world wide...
How she was able to find all of those extreme resonant places and deliver it as though she is completely comfortable with the deep tones, soft tones, sharp tones and has been doing it for 20 or 30 years. Incredible...
Thanks for this reaction Stan. Our AJ is a beautiful human being. An unbelievable performance by Angelina. Now you understand why we love our barefoot princess so much. I'm not sure if there are words good enough to describe her artistry. I suggest you should go back to the beginning of her public life at Norways Got Talent. BTW, Quincy Jones asked her to open the show for his 85th birthday celebration. He is quoted as saying "Angelina is the best natural talent since Michael Jackson".
WHAT?? Whoa... Is she like 12 with a grown black lady in her?? She was AWESOME!!!
Wowzers! She's fabulous!!!
Welcome to Angelina's world. You will love the journey.
Good music is an understatement
Angelina was Created for God's Heavenly Choir yet God Sent Her Here to Soothe Our Hearts and Souls From all of the Hatred and Chaos We Are Going Thru in This World.
Yes she was paying Homage to screaming Jay Hawkins from the 50's
She is known as The Girl with a Thousand Voices and The Boss. Band Members are Amazed of her Abilities. Check out
It's A Man's World
She is 9 here has 4-5 languages in her Pocket and Fluently.
She's 16 from January 10th.
She is Also Known as The Barefoot Princess.
She Gave away her Shoes to a Merchant Gal asking to Way People for a Penny. We'll Angelina and this poor lil gal made Promises to each other. The girl is Always in prayer for Angelina and Angelina Stated she will never wear Shoes until All The Children in The World has Shoes.
18months she Started went to studio at 6 then Norway's Got Talent and Won it. Welcome to The Angelina's Fan Group.
Hi, Stan, here is a story behind this video. I gatherd the bits and pieces, from multible comments, from people like Andy Schnell and Rusty Shackleford. They are trustworthy.
At this point in time, she was 9 years and 2 months, she was already a superstar in Scandinavia and Asia. Her parents rented for her the studio including the band and everything. As the musicians did not know who was coming, it must have been her Dad renting under his name Slatter. When entering the studio she changed the arrangement and, after introducing herself with a handshake, she gave the changed song paper to the studio boss as her wishes. NOW we have to asume, that she gave her full name, not her stage name, the musicians told in interviews, so I read, that they thought it to be a joke of wealthy people to their little daughter. But after 30 seconds into the song, so they all told, they KNEW who was singing with them. The national treasure of Norway and Norways new superstar Angelina Jordan (Astar). These guys worked with her for years, because "she is the boss" as they coined her nickname. She has a uncanny instinct for music.
Today musicians all over the world use this moniker with great respect. Today, when Miss Angelina Jordan calls for musicians, the musicians will run to her. A Job, well done, for Miss Jordan is a ticked for further engagements in the music industry. Sir, you stay save and sound, have peaceful holy days. German greetings.
Best comment ever hahahah and its true.. ;)
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan , AKA - The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and the Angel with 1000 voices. This was HER ARRANGEMENT of the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins whose face was on the candle at the beginning of the video. Angelina has done over 140 covers and has 5 original songs to date. She was 9 years old at the time of this performance and is currently 15 years old. She has been compared to numerous other artists such as Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone and Etta James. Her most recent originals were Million Miles and 7TH Heaven and I suggest the studio versions of those. Her most recent covers , both of which will blow your mind . are Yesterday by the Beatles and a Jazzy version of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Beware you will never be the same after diving down the rabbit hole of the Barefoot Princess . but you will never regret it!
It's not exorcism because there are just too many inside her! She's more like a Radio - because she channels soooo many artists.
I know she was 8 here. The brain can't compute what you are seeing.
Ohhh all her classics fly me to the moon, Summertime, Gloomy Sunday.....cheers
Welcome to Angelina Jordan. Hugs from Sweden 🤗
If Angelinas version of I Put Spell On You blew you away, then go and listen to the 4 songs she sang for Norway’s Got Talent, at age 7, she sang 2 Billy Holiday songs that will make you believe in reincarnation.
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina the Princess of jazz Music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance 🗣🎙
Angelina has only about 136 YT videos, starting from age 7 when she won Norway's Got Talent to recent weeks when she (at 15) covered such artists as The Beatles, Adele, Michael Jackson, and Billie Holliday. She loves old jazz and blues and was born to sing it and bring back the classics. She was 9 here. Scereamin' Jay Hawkins originated the song, I believe.
Angelina Jordan was 10 years old when she recorded this song. She is 15 years old now, and just getting started!
English is his 3rd languages I'm blown away she's child prodigy and genius love your reaction thanks stan
Loved your reaction
You will like her very first audition on Norway's Got Talent at 7 yrs old. "Gloomy Sunday" a tune by Billie Holiday. The beginning of it all and by the way she won the competition..at 7 years old. Everything she's sung there after is gold!!!
Time to take the Angelina "deep dive". You will NOT be disappointed. She's 15yo now; but she's 9 yo here (!)
You have it right. I would also suggest doing a reaction to John Fogerty's version of this song. To me both are iconic but very different sounds. Great reaction.
You’re right it was Screamin’ Jay Hawkins who wrote and performed it so dramatically.
I have followed her since this she was 8. At the end of video check out fly me to the moon, summertime, Gloomy sunday, cheers yes it was screaming jay Hawkins that was the pic on candle..... cheers
Yes screaming Jay Halkins
¡Someone call the Exorcist….!” Perfect!
I was worried while watching you during the song, but you came alive with your comments! If you like 10 yo Angelina’s arraignment of this 1956 Jay Hawkins song you’ll love her James Brown Mans World live at 12 from the 60’s. Maybe jump into the 80’s with M Jackson Billy Jean or 60’s Etta James Rather Go Blind or just about any of her 140+ covers and several originals.
By the way please support Angelina and post the links to her channels etc. you support her and we support you. Win win
You are hilarious Stan. "Somebody call the exorcist because there's a 55 year old black woman in that white girl's body" The interesting thing about Angelina Jordan is that while she did take on the persona and voice of an older black woman in this song, you will find that she has this innate ability to create a voice that satisfies what ever direction that she needs to present her vision of a song. Make no mistake about it, Angelina is not only a musical prodigy, she is also a musical genius - and these are not necessarily the same things. Prior to this song, she had begun to do the arrangements and productions on her songs.
Thank you for watching
Another angel fan has joined the AJ express
Welcome to the world of the barefooted princess and jazz queen Angelina Jordan.
All covers are her arrangements
Has her own songs such as
7th Heaven and Million Miles
Covers like
I Have Nothing
What a Difference a Day
Feeling Good
The Show Must Go On
List goes on and on. Birthday January 10th 15 now. Won Norway’s got talent at 7 and you can watch her then.
"She has a soulful voice". Spot on! That's Angelina in a nutshell and why she moves people all around the world!
Based on the songs of your choice on this channel I'm sure you'll enjoy a lot more of Angelina's content, since she covered a lot of old songs, songs that require the true ability to sing, no effects, no computerized tricks.
You do not realize the rabbit hole you just fell into.
You are correct, it was Screamin Jay Hawkins. The writing was her wishes for changes in the arrangement as she does her own arrangements. The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time. at 9 years old.She is 15 now. DOB 1/10/2006
I suggest all 4 songs, in order with captions, on Norway's Got Talent 2014 at 7 and 8 years old.
Some reactors do all 4 in 1 reaction so you can see her progression. Works really well.
Oh, and excellent and entertaining reaction. Thank you.
Remember the 2.97k subscribers. Angelina will get you to 5k quick.
Stan this was in the top 10 of all reactions.
P.s.: I also appreciate the fact that you listen to the whole song and then do the verbal reaction. I skip watching others who interrupt the performance and I never go back to their channel. So I'll be coming back to Life with Stan.
Thank you so much
Great reaction and Welcome to the Rabbit Hole, God Bless!
Stan get ready to enjoy Angelina, please watch her from young to older, you will be mesmerized, astonished, probably cry at times lol, enjoy her she a blessing from above for us to love and relate
If you like jazz, go with I’d Rather Go Blind(Etta James cover) or Seventh Heaven(Original composition) next.
15 year superstar welcome to your next addiction
Enjoy the Angelina journey ! Singing jazz since the age of 2 ! Won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old ! 140 covers and 6 originals that are all absolutely fabulous ! Any covers or songs you choose you will never be disappointed only amazed ! Thank you for your heartfelt comments as they are appreciated so much ! Angelina is known as the barefoot princess because she performs barefooted also known as the Queen of Jazz and the girl with a thousand voices ! She has covered over 80 different artists and manages to put her own spin on each one while respecting the original artist ! Her original songs are really great and I'm sure when you hear her extensive volume of work you will be pleasantly surprised ! Thanks again and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🤗👍
I'm a little late, but hommage to you for getting the candle light portrait. Been a Scremin' Jay Hawkins fan for uhm quite a long time. It should be made a billion films about his life.
Which song do you want to hear? She writes and composes each cover & she has done over a 100 all really good. She’s been writing music and singing with high end bands fantastic songs! You will go crazy since she is now about 15 1/2 . Love some of the tv shows and concert she has preformed in. “Feeling Good” on TV the James Bond sound. Or the rehearsal of “Fly me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones 85th B day. And I love 💕 her jazzy cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”. I love the songs that she wrote “7th Heaven” “Shield” just to name a couple. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction! I almost forgot “It’s a Man’s World”!
It's 9/13/22 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯
This is 9 yo Angelina, the greatest child vocalist of all time. Fast forward 6 years & she has grown into a beautiful, statuesque (>6') young woman with the voices of 1000 Angels. I recommend watching her today at 15, before you go back to her beginnings when she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at 7 yo. Thumbs up & subed for more Angelina!
Thank you for the subscribe
Yes, this has become a classic on its own. Here, Angelina, at 9 yrs 2 mos old, has captured the essence of the original song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956 in her arrangement. In the intro you can see her writing out and passing last-minute changes to the arrangement to a member of the band. They may have gone in that day and been taken aback by playing for a nine-year-old, but by the end of the day they were calling her, "The Boss." After auditioning for Norway's Got Talent at seven and winning it at eight, she was literally a professional by age 9! Now, at fifteen, she has written 5 songs, sung two written for her, and covered about 135 other songs of 70 different artists. She signed with Republic Records last year. She is the real deal. Enjoy!
I am loving her voice and can’t wait to hear more
The original artist was Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and he released this song i n 1956.
My suggestion would be to do a video of your wife seeing this song for the first time.
She was 9 years, 2 months old here in this video. She is now 15. Born January 10, 2006. The Queen of Jazz (and most every other genre you can name!), and a beautiful singer with a 1000 voices. Has covered almost 150 songs, and has 5 originals, and counting>>>>>>>!
Funny man welcome to our world great reaction 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Hi Stan,
even if you already got a lot of comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - may be you can find some for you new information in it ;-)
So, here it is (a wee bit personalized):
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...
She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).
Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occations she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… ;-)

Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena): ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html .
And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ...
A little explanation:
You are right: Her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) based on the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956) - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html
or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ua-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/v-deo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version: ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html)
that's real fun - if you watch this too and may be after this watch Angelinas cover again you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :)))
The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;)
At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-)
Btw. I read somwhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs granpa is Japanese) and there AJs granma bought this candle as a souvenier ;)
...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :))
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
So, I'm guessing you're a fan too... ;)
Great list. Thanks
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
About 150+ songs,besides covers she has original material.
What is life
Shield
Million Miles
7th Heaven
I just suscribed because of Angelina.
Welcome to Angelina’s world. For me one of the best actual female vocalist. She’s a music genius. Speak more languages and play more instruments. She does her own arrangements of her covers and have 3-4 original songs. More than 130 covers.
Check her cover of Etta James song “I’d rather go blind”. You’ll see what she can do sitting in a couch only and with a microphone. She’ always amazing.
When she sang “I put a spell on you “ , she was 9 years old and have done the arrangements of the song.
Waiting for more Angelina’s reaction!!
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (135+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I put A Spell on You" ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html
Great reaction, she's 15 now. She has over 150 great videos. She's so good
Amazing 🤩
Thank you, Stan, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof! That’s what UA-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Angilina is killer! Great reaction! I'll sub. 🇺🇸👍💯🔥
Thank you so much for the subscribe
Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan.
Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her.
Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong.
Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.
After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down.
Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan.
Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions.
At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities.
Angelina Jordan has about 150 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come.
Thank you for reading and Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching
You might find her Norway's Got Talent performances interesting as well. She's 7 - and sings Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra and George Gershwin. You could tell she was special right then and there.
The original IS by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, it's been covered several hundred times,
Hillarious reaction there at the end... 😂
Check out Angelina covering I Would Rather go Blind by Etta James. It will blow your mind also! Thanks!
Just subscribed! I'm gonna love your Angelina reactions!
I say Norway got talent, subtitle!
Almost from the beginning.
It's voodoo, a song about desperately love she told. You see and feel her amazing power she holds back in other songs. That's why she is so fearless everytime on stage.
Please respect the artist and put the link to her original in your description box 🙏🙏💯
First off, two thumbs up for not pausing the video every 15 seconds and talking!! I watched your face as the video played, and I could see your "reaction". As was said below, she is now 15 (16 on Jan. 10th) and she has around 150 videos on UA-cam, of mostly covers, 5 originals, 2 songs that were written just for her to sing, and a demo she did at 10 that had to be leaked to the internet for us to enjoy. Each and every one is amazing in it's own way, and Angelina's "Angels" (her name for her fans) will fill you in on everything you need to know. She always sings barefoot in public, as you may have noticed in this video, because of a promise she made to remember a young homeless girl she met when she was 6. It's a long but exciting road of discovery, and I'm subscribing in hopes you will continue reacting to her. In the meantime, I see a lot of songs on your channel from the years I grew up so I may check a few of them out in between Angelina reactions. Great job, and I look forward to more!
Thank you for watching
IMO This is her best yet. She put all her heart into this, swung for the fences and hit a grand slam. SO VERY glad you picked up on how she paid homage to Jay Hawkins, and her arrangement took his goofy often embarrassing schtick and found the serious music in it, and brought it out, in her way. There are so many artful vocal choices she makes its astonishing ! What an arrangement and what a very good jazz band. Wow.
It at least 6 months for her to do this at 9 yo release it at 10. IMO There's lots of post production in this that look almost seamless.
Lots of very high quality work from top to bottom.
Jay would have been so pleased.
You should check out this child prodigy at age 10 singing james browns it's a mans world. She is the real deal!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan Astar. Now you understand why you were advised to give her a listen. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and just subscribed for more. Angelina is fearless in her experimentation and courageous choice of songs. She will sing anything that strikes her fancy, and her covers are often better than the original versions. A few people have suggested you react to I'd Rather Go Blind, the Etta James classic. She fries the daylights out of that one! Among her earliest musical influences were Whitney Houston and Billie Holiday, and you can hear it in her soulfulness. You will want to check out her originals, too. They are all quite good, each one better than the last. She is growing in her songwriting, has written new songs during the pandemic while her concerts were canceled. She will soon come out with a new album. She made an album with the Norwegian Armed Forces band when she was 11 or 12, called It's Magic. And it is. Then there are the songs written for her to sing. A Song For A is the only song on an instrumental album by a Russian composer, with lyrics by the great Scottish poet Robert Burns. Then a Norwegian band asked her to sing one of their electronic dance numbers, Above the Water, which shows that she can sing any genre.
Angelina is, as others have noted, very altruistic. She is also very sophisticated, having been a world traveller since infancy. After she won NGT she was invited to sing all over the world, mostly for jazz festivals and charity events. She has sung before several heads of state, (was thrilled to meet Barak Obama) and in several countries, Sweden & Norway, of course, but also the US, Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea, and Germany where she helped to raise over 20,000 Euros for charity, and in Japan where she sang a song in Japanese. You are in for quite a treat. Bring your wife along for the ride.
AJ turned 15 years old January 10th, 2021. She was 9 years old when she recorded this video.
🤘🤓💯🔥
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody.
As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener.
In this video, did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the music director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well-known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz. And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle, upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. And the fact that during the last time she sang "because you're mine" she rose on to her toes. Lastly, did you notice how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". Well, it was a seven-year-old child who appeared on the stage. She was small and had wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. My first surprise was how she confidently answered questions put to her by one of the judges. She showed no signs of nerves and when she was asked what song she was going to perform, she declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Then she gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and started singing. Yeah! The body of the 7-year-old child was still there, but the voice wasn't. It was that of a 40-50 year old black woman who had been singing for decades. That first moment of surprise has been experienced many times since then.
Thank you for watching
good detail ! IMO She took elements from different performances of Jay's work and turned some of his antics and schtick back into the art that , I think , Jaw would have released, except for the fact that he felt the need to be noticed any way he could including the bone in the nose nutty theatrics and imo musical compromises.
One of the changes she/they made was the beat of the song. BA! ta ta instead of um Pa Pa . Just my 2 ¢
Made it so much more serious and better to lay the music on. Just my 2 ¢

Thank you Fernando, that's quite the list.
Oh, that's it?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Stan meet Angelina, Angelina, this is your new fan Stan.
She is a Lengend in the making, Quincy Jones asked Angelina when she was 12 to sing for his 85th Bday celebration. Quincy has stated that no one else but Angelina has since MJ showed such a high level of talent at such a young age. (She has done covers to two MJ songs fyi)
Thank you for your reaction. Which one of the about 150 covers and songs of Angelina you want to react to? She was 9 here and is now 15.
Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, she is always amazing, and mesmerizing.
This is so insanely good that Angelina herself ca not do it again today (lol)
Stan...I just subscribed to your channel because of your reactions to the Queen Of Jazz...Angelina Jordan....keep um coming !!!!
Angelina is 9 here and she sings in English! That's her third language. You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina read and sing English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways.
Thank you for watching
More likely 4th language after Norwegian, Swedish (father), Farsi (Mery).
JUST SUBSCRIBED Stan. Really good comments and esp. like that you are aware of the original and new that Angelina paid homage to the song and the artist. Angelina has jazz and blues running through her blood since birth. You already received many comments so I'll just say I'm in for the long haul with any Angelina reactions. See what she does with James Brown's "It's A Man's World" at 12 years old on stage with the same military band that accompanied her for her album "It's Magic" released in 2018 when she was 12. It hit the top of the jazz charts and still does well today. Cheers from Florida
I love it
Thanks for watching )) I think her rendition of “Id Rather Go Blind” is an absolute must for you..sat on a couch and making history.
thank you!!
She sings from her soul to your soul.
If you want to hear something special, ten (10) year old Angelina Jordan sings "I'm Still Holding Out For You". This song will move you, you will like it, Your welcome in advance. The link is:
Angelina Jordan - I'm Still Holding Out For You
ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html
This song will blow your mind. It was a demo she recorded at 10 years old about a week before her 11th birthday. I promise you will want to hear it sooner rather than later, you will thank me for it. Even if you do not end up doing a reaction please listen to it. But I think you will want to do a reaction after hearing the first line, and the last minute of the song you will find it hard not to replay right after you hear it the first time. Even if you do not react let me know what you think.
ANGELINA JORDAN - I'm Still Holding out for You

Great reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖How about filming your wife when she hears this, would be fun to watch 😁 Or you can both sit down together and hear Angelina sing the Etta James classic 'Id rather go blind' at the age of 13, wich is maybe her most soulful performance 😎
Very nicely done,, well if you really want to hear a 50yr old African American then you got to hear her cover,, " I RATHER GO BLIND" by Etta James,, that will really blow your mind,,
👣🌬🌎
Thank you for watching
Yes this is a must on the list
Definitely I would rather go blind.
No don't do the 2nd song your life will never be the same again! You have been warned? Just ask any Angel's they need a daily fix of Angelina for me 2or3 hours my life has changed by her you see if iam right.
Now you need to see her own composition videos of "Million Miles". She wrote it when she was ~12 years old (born 2006) for the memory of her recently passed (at that time) beloved grandfather. She has dedicated it to him and for any others that have experienced such loss. There are two incredible video versions to see other than the official music video by her new label, Republic Records. Watch the lyrics version first. It has great artful graphics by her grandmom, a noted Iranian artist. The lyrics are most powerful. Then watch the b/w live studio version. She uses just a piano (played by a very high up Republic executive) and cello backing. The emotion in this performance will make you cry. Angelina mentioned that while recording the "official" version she cried throughout the session. If you have memories of a dear loss, you need to do a reaction video of these performances. Stunning, emotional artistry by a 15 year old kid singer/songwriter/arranger.
(I apologize for the "cut and paste" I used for this comment. I just wasn't going to write it over and over and over to everyone I suggested this to).
New sub, lovin your reaction stylin Stan.No one can really tell you about Angelina although her loving "Angels" never tire of trying,she needs to be discovered endlessly,she really is a one and only.
Thank you for the subscribe and I will be doing more reaction to her soon
Consider videoing your wife's reaction to this performance...
Another spell was cast by 9 yo Angelina.
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". And now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talk with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a Doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind the world that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
If you like Etta James listen to I'd Rather Be Blind AJ does it right after her 12th birthday
Yeah, Angelina might have one or two other pieces worth listening to 😮.
Thank you for watching
Haha… I love watching reactors that are seeing this performance by Angelina for the first time. The expression on your face was priceless. Also enjoyed your description and observations. I subscribed to see your future reactions to Angelina. Thanks
Stan, the version by CCR is the best. Even Screaming Jay Hawkins who did the original said '" it's CCRs song". All those who did reactions preferred CCRs, hands down
I bet my dad can beat your dad with one arm behind his back. Lol. ANGELINA was aged 9 here get real .
💕💕💕🇨🇦
😂 great reaction!!
Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 15 (as of 1/10/2021 ) years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html ) plus a new release this month April of '7 th Heaven" link: ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html
She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song.
she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background:
(Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing
1, Shield ,, ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
2. Oslo,, ua-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/v-deo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway)
3. What Is Life,, .ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
4. Above the water,, ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html
5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html
( plus a few more recent originals from her not listed here)
Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert.
When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years .
Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
