You have barely begun down this very beautiful rabbit hole in discovery of this amazing person and her equally amazing voice. I guarantee you will never be disappointed. You still have 200+ covers and originals to go. Please enjoy...certainly don't stop!
Hi! Thank you for discovering Angelina. If you continue to feature her on your channel, you will come to consider the 13 Jan 2024 as a "Red letter" day. I keep a database of UA-cam Channel owners who react to Angelina'a performance videos. Included in the data is the Location declared by the channel owner. Prior to 06 Jan 2020 there were 79 names on my database, of which very few who gave their location as the USA. As at 13 Jan 2024 I have 1,870 names recorded and 699 of those give their Location as the USA. In total, there have been 26,210 reactions to Angelina's videos. So her appearance on America's Got Talent - The Champions certainly gave the American public a wake-up call that they had living among them the finest singer for generations.
She’s incredible! After following her for a few years she changed my life because she’s such an inspiration and incredible person and one of the most beautiful voices on the world
We'll Mert. I am one of those that takes convincing to subscribe. I admit that being Canadian I have watched several..well more than several of your journey of learning all things Canadian and I have liked everyone. Then I flick on UA-cam and there you are going to react to our Barefoot Princess so newly minted at 18 on Jan 10 2024. I was very excited and even more so because being British your value of Queen and Freddie is to be respected. Great reaction and welcome to the Angelina Jordan Rabbit hole and trust me it is a wonderfully diverse and exciting Rabbit hole. I am now subscribed to witness your transformation into one of her Angels. I have watched this young lady since she was very little and to say Angelina is quite extraordinary is literally an understatement. The talent this prodigy has displayed is almost unexplainable. I flew from Edmonton ( Home of the Oilers and Connor McDavid as you well know) to Boston then traveled on to Portsmouth NH on September 22 2023 to participate in Angelina's first Headline Show in the USA. Her Angels traveled from 9 different countries and 37 different states to sell out this performance. What a gift it was to hear her live and Angelina did not disappoint. I look forward to you sharing her Journey Do watch(English subtitles version) NGT 2014 not to be missed at 7 years old and turning 8. Then winning 😊. Angelina's arrangement and tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins of " I Put a Spell on You" at the age of 9 years 2 months is not to be missed(black and white version). Angelina does not disappoint and is AKA The girl with a thousand voices. Musical genius whose arrangements demonstrate she is part of the Music of Everything. 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 Bluesfingers1
Great reaction Mert. You have a very deep rabbithole to go down to listen to all her music but you will never be dissappointed with her amazing ability at any age. Angelina is a beautiful human.
Great reaction and insight. Here are all the basics! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release. Here is a detailed independent chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of most of Angelina's 200+ videos including tiktok and Instagram. www.dimlylit.net/aja/ A second more condensed UA-cam list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Oh sweetie, you have just discovered our angel. Welcome aboard! She didn't win this competition but she won the hearts of so many. She just turned 18 and is signed with Republic Records who gave her her own recording studio in Los Angeles. I will let others give you more details but I suggest you watch the genesis of her career where she sings Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday at 7 years old.
Queen gave her the finest reaction to this performance, she got the copyright to this version of Bohemian rhapsody. So, she litteratly made the song her own. ❤️
Great reaction I travelled from. Scotland to see her in Portsmouth USA to witness greatness her vocals are so unique it's her ability to sing anything and make it her own with that awesome talent the thing is with AJ is most of the covers are perfect and unique you will enjoy the journey good luck
She started singing when she was one and a half years old. She started to sing jazz classics when she was 3 years old. She arranges the songs she chooses to sing. The professional adult musicians called her "The Boss" when she recorded music with them when she was 8-9 years old. She commanded the whole thing. She is a musical genius. David Foster, Quincy Jones and many other really famous music producers and famous musicians have praised her. David Foster praised her already when she was just a young child. And in addition to all that, she is a really nice person also!
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 18 years old, and from Oslo in Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when they are ready. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing? I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life She has recently performed at the Nobel Prize 2023, and also performed at the FIFA AWARD, also performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones. She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on UA-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.Angelina, is the young legend! The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a artist who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do! Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where there was an audience from many different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA.
She turned 18 years old 2 days ago. Rest of Queen gave her copyright for her version! Huge praise in young age to get. Loved your reaction and you got a Norwegian subscriber!
For everyone who doesn't know yet: Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrangement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be Seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (almost 14 million streams to day on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
Fantastic and wonderful, heartfelt and heartwarming reaction my friend. Friend. Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Angelina if you didn't already know is a child. Prodigy has been singing since the age of one and a half years old. She has been influenced and infused with jazz in her DNA since a very young age. You are so right at 13.yrears old she is a season veteran and has been singing probably at that age for the last five years on stage all over the world for thousands and thousands of people. Angelina also has raised millions of dollars for children's charities all over the world. She also had written a book at nine years old which became the number one best-selling children's book in Norway that year. Angelina did not win America's got talent. Unfortunately, she would not sign with the Simon Cowell studios as her parents wanted to protect her and let her develop until she turned into a young adult. And finish school. Angela has over 250 covers and originals in her huge repertoire. Every one of them is a wonderful and amazing experience for the listener. You will always be amazed at her ability to sound so much more. mature with so much depth and soul in her voice all the time. I would suggest my friend and if you get a chance watch her rendition of Screaming. Jay Hawkins! "I Put a Spell on You!" at 9 years old in the studio in black and white. It is a vocal jazz masterpiece and an absolutely mind-blowing experience. I hope you continue in Angelina's Jordan's rabbit hole as we all have for the past 10 years. And Angelina just turned 18 a couple days ago and had released her latest EP last year. called "Old Enough" with six amazing original tracks that you just have to hear. Keep posting my friend. You are so much appreciated by the UA-cam community and I hope that you'd enjoyed Angelina's performance! . Sending much thanks and love from Canada, 👍🇨🇦❤️
Her first public appearances started around 7 years old, and Angelina just turned 18. Bohemian Rhapsody is extraordinary, but it’s one of dozens and dozens of songs in many completely different genres that will stun you. Her arrangements, her voice, and her mesmerizing interpretation of lyrics are easily the best I’ve ever heard. You don’t need recommendations. Look at her extensive list of songs and just pick one you like-any title, any age, any genre. Angelina is literally a once in a lifetime gift to us all.
Thank you for reacting to the young legend Angelina Jordan. She is currently an 18-year-old young woman who will gradually take the world by storm with her performances. Those are the facts. The entire renowned music industry knows who she is. but she chooses her own pace towards fame. She is signed to the record label "Public Records" as early as 14 years old, and they know what diamond they are sitting on!
The more you learn about this amazing girl, artist and human the more you get hocked. I have been a fan for 8 years and never getting tierd of hear voice. You made this reaction on her 18th birthday to be exact. Her fans that is called "Angels" is increddible supportive and have a huge knowlege (and protective). Angelina have over 200 covers and some original songs and all of them will blow your mind
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina. “When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018. ♥👣👸🏻🎷 What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 18 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She recently dropped Her EP 'Old Enough' which includes 6 original tracks. She has been indicating she will be releasing another EP of originals by Christmas. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣👸🏻
If you think that was Soul from a child you should react to the first song she sang for Norway's Got Talent at seven year's old. That song was "Gloomy Sunday" by Bille Holiday. One of Angelina's most recent live performances at eighteen year's old was singing "Unchained Melody" with Kork, a rather large well-known Soul/Jazz orchestra at the presentations of the 2023 Nobel Prizes.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. 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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi.

I'm at 6 years now. ❤ I even have my phone plugged in next to me all night with her singing to me while I sleep. I can't live without her. ❤ Love to my fellow angels. ❤️
@@9Ballr Agreed! I did have to take a little time off from 24/7 when 'Now I'm the Fool' came out. I was crying too much from how the lyrics were hitting me. 😭 She really is something special and I have never felt so much in my life. I feel so blessed to have found her, by the grace of God. I feel like she is an Angel sent from heaven. Maybe I'm crazy but I know you understand. 😏 ❤️
Due to show time constraints for each contestant, this arrangement that she put together herself was brilliant! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out early next year. Angelina just recently released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. 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 poor shoeless 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. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. 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 so much!
Bohemian Rhapsody and The Show Must Go On, are iconic from Queen when was the last time you experienced a vocalist take these on and make them better that they have ever been done? The mask: we all go around with a mask on as to not show what we are really feeling, the show must go on. The mask is ART work from AJ's grandmother, Mery Zamani, and she was a child prodigy, and is famous artist, the painting behind AJ is one of Mery's, and she has been a major force in AJ's upbringing. Here again, we watch as AJ takes on a very heavy load, and like all the other times she performs it far, far better than the original, she gives every word meaning like no one else could. Just lay back and let her roll over you, what a sensation! You don't have to say it is better than you have ever experienced this song in the past, but we all know it is, and it is not a cut to Freddie, it is just a fact. I have experienced AJ performing The Show Must Go On at least 50 times, and after hearing the first few notes I lose my breath and get chills every single time, even though I know what to expect, she is phenomenal.
hehe that was the perfect storm, you asking for Norwegian singers and the rest of the planet knowing Angelina were jumping their chairs to give you her name, you should take the time and react to more of her singing, you wont regret it
Congratulations you found a star 🌟 the best singer songwriter of the world 🌎 with over 200 songs on YT and already 12 own written Songs. More is announced for the next times. Please checkout her EP Old enough from last summer ⛱️ great Songs
This is not the regular AGT, but is rather the Champions edition. The entire show was pre-recorded over a week in Oct 2019 & was aired on TV on Jan-Feb, 2020. Simon tried to get her on AGT for a couple of years prior, but she wouldn't sign the standard AGT contract because she didn't want to have any commitments to AGT other than to get exposure to the US market. Simon finally relented & offered her a special contract that relinquished any control over her career. So she did not win, but she got the exposure she wanted as this performance went viral around the World & a year later she signed with Republic Records (UMG). Her record label had to agree not to promote her until she finished her schooling which she did last summer, so now she is about to begin her accent to Superstardom. She recently released an EP called "Old Enough," with 6 original songs, then a new original single called Our Time & in Dec, 2023 she released a Christmas EP titled Driving Home for Christmas with 5 classic Christmas songs. In a few years she will be a household name as the music industry begins to promote her. I liked this video & have subscribed to watch your discovery of this Musical Genius. I've been addicted to her music for 6 years now with no interest in rehab!
Angelina is the most unpredictable artist. You never know how she will arrange a song. Some might only have one slight improvement in phrasing. Whereas her version of Elvis' SUSPICIOUS MINDS is transformed and is the first time I heard the lyrics. Same with BILLY JEAN. A child prodigy with no family members singers or musicians she makes you question reincarnation. The first time there is footage of her singing with a mike is 18months. First time in a studio she 6 I WHO HAVE NOTHING. 7, audition for Norways Got Talent, 8 WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE huge outdoor concert with adult backing singers. 9 I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, at 10 IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU her leaked Demo for Baby Fuzz who changed the way he sang it after listening to her, 10 FEELING GOOD, 11 her first composition WHAT IS LIFE, Then also at 11 her concert in the park with band ITS A MANS WORLD probably my favourite in a string of brilliant sets, 12 there are so many U tube performances I can only give you a few favourites . All are brilliant STAY Rihanna, BORN TO DIE, Lana Del Rey, HAPPIER Marshmellow, MILLION YEARS AGO Adele, 13 WHEN WE WERE YOUNG Adele, ID RATHER GO BLIND Etta James. Honestly it's an endless rabbit hole and the only solo artist I have listened to every day gor 9 years. Her unpredictability snd emotional deliveries are addictive
RIP Freddie. Angelina was declared a National Treasure of Norway. This Artist will take you on an epic journey. From 6 to now, amazing. Please react to more of her. Thanks
A great video to introduce Angelina’s family, 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. Later her mother wiped tears from her eyes and then again crosses her fingers before Howie speaks.. 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'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
You have no idea what you have been missing! lol She is amazing! She will make you feel this way in every performance, whether she is 7 or newly turned 18;)
Hi Mert, tears in the eyes and goosebumps, that's completely normal, we feel the same way. She has something in her voice that you can't describe, but these emotions hit you in your heart and soul and the effect is, I want to become a better person and it fills me with peace. She is also very humble and she has a very big heart. You can see it in her commitment to humanitarian and social work. She has already collected millions for children - she donated all of her winnings from Norway's Got Talent. We Angels (that's what she calls her fans) love her, she has over 200 covers and most of them sound better than the originals. She also has 12 self-written originals and 2 songs written for her. She can adapt to any song and makes her own thing from it. She turned 18 on January 10th. Greetings from Germany
Welcome to the genius of Angelina. I am UK based and have been following her for years. She has over 200 covers and original songs. Without a doubt the best female singer in the world at present. Hope you enjoy the rabbit hole. Thanks for your reaction.👍😊
If you like Queen she also does another queen cover at her house at 12 years old singing "The Show Must Go On" also you will want to seethe other 2songs she did at AGT2020, and all 4 songs at NGT2014 when she was 7 and 8..
the little girl crying is her little sister, the beautifull blonde is her mother and the lady right to her is Angelinas grandmother. the Man left of her sister is her father if I remember right.
SHe got famous as a kid, because her voice was practically like that when she was 7, and she covered old songs, she got the comment about being an "old soul" a lot, as an example... check out "Angelina Jordan (7) - Gloomy Sunday (Norways Got Talent 2014)" as that'd be her appearance on the show. And another of hers that has been popular is "Angelina Jordan - I Put A Spell On You" on her official channel. As for other Norwegian artists, there is Aurora who has gotten famous, and is said to be one of the inspirations for Billie Eilish, and she was the voice of the wind in Frozen 2. There's Susanne Sundfør who got big enough to be in the title track of a Tom Cruise movie M83 featuring Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion, from the movie of the same name. ( Also, she's local to me, and was a couple grades below me at school, so I'm biased. :P ) And yes, what "Scary Spice" said, means I love you, in Norwegian, "Jeg elsker deg."
She is a national treasure in Norway and her music is ofton topping the charts there. But, because her family chose to give space & time for childhood and school, she has not been widely promoted. Covid also did a number on her recognition as it closed down the world weeks after this performance. Her first EP, titled "Old Enough", announed to the world that she has finished high school and is ready to face the world head on. Her first limited 10 year catalog has already garnered billions of views.
Mert Nor, thank you for your first reaction to Angelina Jordan, my all time favorite musical artist. This is my favorite vocal performance by anyone. Given the context that she was 13 years old and created a genius arrangement to one of the most beloved songs on Earth. Standing on one of the biggest stages on Earth, in front of someone she desire to sing to for 10 years. To deliver that performance is mind blowing. Angelina just turned 18, on January 10, 2024 and has over 200 songs on UA-cam, including 12 originals. In my opinion, not a bad one in her catalog. Search "Angelina Jordan every song" on UA-cam to access a playlist.
Angelina is a living, breathing library of music history, she has always been absolutely fearless and has taken on some of the biggest songs by the greats in music since she was very young. A truly gifted young artist. Thx.
She was 13. How did you not hear Angelina and Heidi say it 4 times (LOL) She was born 10 Jan 2006 But seriously you did an excellent😁reaction and I thank you
Your music life just changed forever! You’re observations were bang on point..yes, her own arrangement and as for soul? Well she’s up there with Billie Holiday imo.
Beautiful reaction Mert, thank you. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation, at only 13 years old! This is a splendid example of Angelina's extraordinary and unique talent, her extraordinary intelligence and musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms the great songs she loves so much. Every time she interprets a song by stripping it in her own way, she seems to simultaneously increase the level of understanding of the lyrics and amplify their expressive power. Angelina's musical vision transcends the ordinary and she always manages to give a different interpretative reading, she really has a musical knowledge and analytical ability that is beyond my understanding, also considering her age. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, despite the fact that she has listened to her hundreds of times💛🧡❤
Nice that you like Angelina Jordan she is amazing, you also have to try another amazing Norwegian singer from Bergen «Aurora» you could try «the murder song» as a start. 😊
She had soul in her voice at 18 months old. You better staple on your socks when you check out her black and white version of "I put a spell on you", she was barely 9 years old when she recorded it. 🔥🇨🇦😇
Oh mate - you're going down the rabbit-hole now. 😉 You have a journey of discovery in front of you - that Im almost envious of. Please react to more of her performances - you will not regret it.
Hello from Norway. I have seen some of your reactions to norwegian stuff. Now, when you found Angelina Jordan I will give you a sub in hope of more....
Mert, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" She was born in Oslo January 10th, 2006, and she just turned 18 a couple of days ago!!!!!! Her family moved to Los Angeles about 5 years ago but she returns to Norway often. In fact, she did a series of Concerts there a couple of years ago. You definitely have to watch her performances on Norway's Got Talent. Some of her fans will send you the links to her 4 performances on the Show (she turned 8 years old during the Show). I'm actually startled you didn't know who she was. Anyway, enjoy her. I think you can see how special she is and her soulfulness gives listeners goosebumps, they tear up with an urge to cry and they find it difficult to speak normally during or right after she performs. Sweaty hands is a new one! 🙂 Good luck with your channel. I just subscribed and believe me, there will be lots of folks joining me.
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan. 1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html 2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed. 3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order: At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella. At age 12 There are two songs of note here: ‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note - ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her. At Age 16 she has three new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far. The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements. She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records. Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
If this is your introduction to AJ, it was a good one, but barely scratches the surface of her 200 covers and originals that take us on a journey of unbelievable depth and heights. You should see her winning Norways Got Talent with all four short songs in this compilation. ua-cam.com/video/O2bX15tYFVk/v-deo.html . Good reaction.
Just about to watch your reaction to I put a spell on you then realised you did this one first! Great reaction and I am now going to watch the second one. Welcome to the "Barefoot Princess" boy are you in for a ride. Subscribed........
Welcome to this rabbit hole! There is so much to discover from her. Pls try Ylvis! They are comedians but also good musicians. I love Norwegians (as a boring Swede).
Dear british neighbor, Miss Jordan was born with a deeper voice and a high intelligence. Her mind is probaly 20 to 30 years older, than her body. I should no, I had the honor to meet such kids. Have a peasant day and a good 2024. Your german neighbor Elmar
AGT Simon^^^^^ First, and foremost; Angelina was not on that show to win. This was quite simply to promote and expose the US public to this prodigy that comes along maybe once in a generation. To win, AJ’s family would have had to sign a contract with Simon, and he would have been in control of her future. Her family would not allow that to happen. It was not question of money offered because AJ was already worth 2 to 3 million at the age of 13, and her family are very wealthy. I am sure America’s Got Talent was paid well by her production company Stargate, the hitmaking duo (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith). David Foster tried to sign her in the past after she won Norway's Got Talent, but the family did not like the contract. She is like nothing we have ever experienced.

You have barely begun down this very beautiful rabbit hole in discovery of this amazing person and her equally amazing voice. I guarantee you will never be disappointed. You still have 200+ covers and originals to go. Please enjoy...certainly don't stop!
Hi! Thank you for discovering Angelina. If you continue to feature her on your channel, you will come to consider the 13 Jan 2024 as a "Red letter" day.
I keep a database of UA-cam Channel owners who react to Angelina'a performance videos. Included in the data is the Location declared by the channel owner. Prior to 06 Jan 2020 there were 79 names on my database, of which very few who gave their location as the USA. As at 13 Jan 2024 I have 1,870 names recorded and 699 of those give their Location as the USA. In total, there have been 26,210 reactions to Angelina's videos.
So her appearance on America's Got Talent - The Champions certainly gave the American public a wake-up call that they had living among them the finest singer for generations.
She’s incredible! After following her for a few years she changed my life because she’s such an inspiration and incredible person and one of the most beautiful voices on the world
We'll Mert. I am one of those that takes convincing to subscribe. I admit that being Canadian I have watched several..well more than several of your journey of learning all things Canadian and I have liked everyone. Then I flick on UA-cam and there you are going to react to our Barefoot Princess so newly minted at 18 on Jan 10 2024. I was very excited and even more so because being British your value of Queen and Freddie is to be respected. Great reaction and welcome to the Angelina Jordan Rabbit hole and trust me it is a wonderfully diverse and exciting Rabbit hole. I am now subscribed to witness your transformation into one of her Angels. I have watched this young lady since she was very little and to say Angelina is quite extraordinary is literally an understatement. The talent this prodigy has displayed is almost unexplainable. I flew from Edmonton ( Home of the Oilers and Connor McDavid as you well know) to Boston then traveled on to Portsmouth NH on September 22 2023 to participate in Angelina's first Headline Show in the USA. Her Angels traveled from 9 different countries and 37 different states to sell out this performance. What a gift it was to hear her live and Angelina did not disappoint. I look forward to you sharing her Journey
Do watch(English subtitles version) NGT 2014 not to be missed at 7 years old and turning 8. Then winning 😊. Angelina's arrangement and tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins of " I Put a Spell on You" at the age of 9 years 2 months is not to be missed(black and white version). Angelina does not disappoint and is AKA The girl with a thousand voices. Musical genius whose arrangements demonstrate she is part of the Music of Everything. 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Great candid and genuine reaction. Don't change a thing as you follow up on more from Anglelina.
You have entered the deepest rabbit hole in the musical world. Enjoy each and every one of her astonishing covers and originals.
A&R (Artists and repertoire)^^^^
Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California is Angelina's A&R person, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, three years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. © Larry D. Pifer
AJ now lives in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the record company Republic Records has built a separate music studio for her. She states, "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record companies in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music. There will also be a lot of concerts in the future because I have released an EP. I will soon go on a world tour and play my songs, (This was stated to TV2 in Norway on Aug. 21, 2023) © Larry D. Pifer
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. I've been here for four years and it's a great place to be!
Angelina is simply the most melodious vocal I have heard so far. ❤❤ her song. Listening to her song relives me of all Stress. Its so soothing.
Great reaction Mert. You have a very deep rabbithole to go down to listen to all her music but you will never be dissappointed with her amazing ability at any age. Angelina is a beautiful human.
She had singing at to yrars old,startet whit jazz,soul,and she can sing evry scanger,jazz,soul,ballad,pop..you neim it..😊💟🌹
Bohemian Rhapsody^^^^
I have had 76 years to experience the greats, and my hearing is so acute that I can name the artist within a few notes, if they have what the industry calls a SIGNATURE VOICE. If it was just me that AJ affects that would be fine, but the reaction by the public to AJ's rearranged version of Bohemian Rhapsody, for example, was paramount to an earthquake being felt around the world, this video has been viewed more that 150 million times. AJ's videos have been viewed over a billion times on UA-cam, and over 4 billion times on FB. This does not count Instagram, or TikTok. We don't just have a STAR in AJ, we have a SUPPER NOVA. My friends, if you take the time to experience this pheromonal genius you will understand why she is like no other. © Larry D. Pifer
Great reaction and insight. Here are all the basics!
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release.
Here is a detailed independent chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of most of Angelina's 200+ videos including tiktok and Instagram.

A second more condensed UA-cam list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Oh sweetie, you have just discovered our angel. Welcome aboard! She didn't win this competition but she won the hearts of so many. She just turned 18 and is signed with Republic Records who gave her her own recording studio in Los Angeles. I will let others give you more details but I suggest you watch the genesis of her career where she sings Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday at 7 years old.
Queen gave her the finest reaction to this performance, she got the copyright to this version of Bohemian rhapsody. So, she litteratly made the song her own. ❤️
Brian May and Queen did themselves good with that move... CLASS ACT on their part 100%

Welcome to the Angelina’s world. ❤❤❤
The most beautiful voice You'll ever hear !!!
Great reaction I travelled from. Scotland to see her in Portsmouth USA to witness greatness her vocals are so unique it's her ability to sing anything and make it her own with that awesome talent the thing is with AJ is most of the covers are perfect and unique you will enjoy the journey good luck
She started singing when she was one and a half years old. She started to sing jazz classics when she was 3 years old. She arranges the songs she chooses to sing. The professional adult musicians called her "The Boss" when she recorded music with them when she was 8-9 years old. She commanded the whole thing. She is a musical genius. David Foster, Quincy Jones and many other really famous music producers and famous musicians have praised her. David Foster praised her already when she was just a young child. And in addition to all that, she is a really nice person also!
I'm from Norway, this is the first time I have heard about this person
AJ is awesome
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 18 years old, and from Oslo in Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when they are ready. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing?
I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life She has recently performed at the Nobel Prize 2023, and also performed at the FIFA AWARD, also performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones.
She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on UA-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.Angelina, is the young legend! The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a artist who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do!
Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where there was an audience from many different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA.
She turned 18 years old 2 days ago. Rest of Queen gave her copyright for her version! Huge praise in young age to get. Loved your reaction and you got a Norwegian subscriber!
For everyone who doesn't know yet:
Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrangement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be Seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (almost 14 million streams to day on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
Fantastic and wonderful, heartfelt and heartwarming reaction my friend. Friend. Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Angelina if you didn't already know is a child. Prodigy has been singing since the age of one and a half years old. She has been influenced and infused with jazz in her DNA since a very young age. You are so right at 13.yrears old she is a season veteran and has been singing probably at that age for the last five years on stage all over the world for thousands and thousands of people. Angelina also has raised millions of dollars for children's charities all over the world. She also had written a book at nine years old which became the number one best-selling children's book in Norway that year. Angelina did not win America's got talent. Unfortunately, she would not sign with the Simon Cowell studios as her parents wanted to protect her and let her develop until she turned into a young adult. And finish school. Angela has over 250 covers and originals in her huge repertoire. Every one of them is a wonderful and amazing experience for the listener. You will always be amazed at her ability to sound so much more. mature with so much depth and soul in her voice all the time. I would suggest my friend and if you get a chance watch her rendition of Screaming. Jay Hawkins! "I Put a Spell on You!" at 9 years old in the studio in black and white. It is a vocal jazz masterpiece and an absolutely mind-blowing experience. I hope you continue in Angelina's Jordan's rabbit hole as we all have for the past 10 years. And Angelina just turned 18 a couple days ago and had released her latest EP last year. called "Old Enough" with six amazing original tracks that you just have to hear. Keep posting my friend. You are so much appreciated by the UA-cam community and I hope that you'd enjoyed Angelina's performance! . Sending much thanks and love from Canada, 👍🇨🇦❤️
Her first public appearances started around 7 years old, and Angelina just turned 18. Bohemian Rhapsody is extraordinary, but it’s one of dozens and dozens of songs in many completely different genres that will stun you. Her arrangements, her voice, and her mesmerizing interpretation of lyrics are easily the best I’ve ever heard. You don’t need recommendations. Look at her extensive list of songs and just pick one you like-any title, any age, any genre. Angelina is literally a once in a lifetime gift to us all.
Pleace react more angelina
Good to see you back into music reactions. This is the best rabbit hole in UA-cam if you want to fall into it. Thanks for the nice reaction.
Great Reaction. Thank you.
Subscribed…Everyone that reacts to Angelina will have my subscription immy..thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👏👍
Thank you for reacting to the young legend Angelina Jordan. She is currently an 18-year-old young woman who will gradually take the world by storm with her performances. Those are the facts. The entire renowned music industry knows who she is. but she chooses her own pace towards fame. She is signed to the record label "Public Records" as early as 14 years old, and they know what diamond they are sitting on!
The more you learn about this amazing girl, artist and human the more you get hocked. I have been a fan for 8 years and never getting tierd of hear voice. You made this reaction on her 18th birthday to be exact. Her fans that is called "Angels" is increddible supportive and have a huge knowlege (and protective). Angelina have over 200 covers and some original songs and all of them will blow your mind
Great first reaction. You'll get many recommendations. I'll second watching "I Put a Spell on You" next.
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina.
“When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 18 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She recently dropped Her EP 'Old Enough' which includes 6 original tracks. She has been indicating she will be releasing another EP of originals by Christmas.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed.
She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣👸🏻
She turned 18 on the 10th, not 17. (2024)
Wait till you hear this: AJ Covers “The Show Must Go On”^^
The Show Must Go On is a song that reflects the courage and resilience of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, who kept performing despite his terminal illness. He did not reveal his AIDS diagnosis to the public until shortly before his death in 1991. The song is a powerful expression of his determination to live his life to the fullest. In 2019, a young singer named Angelina Jordan amazed the audience with her rendition of The Show Must Go On at the age of 13. She began her performance by holding a mask over her face, symbolizing the facade that people often put on to hide their true feelings. Angelina's voice was stunning and emotional, capturing the essence of the song in a remarkable way that most professional vocalist would not attempt. Whose genius idea was it to use the mask as a symbol of the hidden self. The mask was designed by Mery Zamani, a renowned artist, poet, and grandmother of Angelina Jordan, and who has had a major impact in the creation of this ethereal creature we call Angelina Jordan. The mask was not only a visual element, but also a narrative device that allowed AJ to reveal her true self through her hypnotic vocals. © Larry D. Pifer
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of 🎷azz music who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason, enjoy...👑🗣🎙
If you think that was Soul from a child you should react to the first song she sang for Norway's Got Talent at seven year's old. That song was "Gloomy Sunday" by Bille Holiday.
One of Angelina's most recent live performances at eighteen year's old was singing "Unchained Melody" with Kork, a rather large well-known Soul/Jazz orchestra at the presentations of the 2023 Nobel Prizes.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi.

I will put this very simply. Angelina is the most amazing artist I've ever heard, and I've been listening to her every day for over four years now.
8 years for me....everyday!!!
@@CarlD70 Lucky you!
I'm at 6 years now. ❤ I even have my phone plugged in next to me all night with her singing to me while I sleep. I can't live without her. ❤ Love to my fellow angels. ❤️
@@DontHateOnMyBreed1975 There's no sweeter way to fall asleep!
@@9Ballr Agreed! I did have to take a little time off from 24/7 when 'Now I'm the Fool' came out. I was crying too much from how the lyrics were hitting me. 😭 She really is something special and I have never felt so much in my life. I feel so blessed to have found her, by the grace of God. I feel like she is an Angel sent from heaven. Maybe I'm crazy but I know you understand. 😏 ❤️
Due to show time constraints for each contestant, this arrangement that she put together herself was brilliant! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out early next year. Angelina just recently released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8.
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 poor shoeless 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. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. 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 so much!
Subbed for more reactions to the best female singer in the world. GREAT reaction! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Bohemian Rhapsody and The Show Must Go On, are iconic from Queen when was the last time you experienced a vocalist take these on and make them better that they have ever been done? The mask: we all go around with a mask on as to not show what we are really feeling, the show must go on. The mask is ART work from AJ's grandmother, Mery Zamani, and she was a child prodigy, and is famous artist, the painting behind AJ is one of Mery's, and she has been a major force in AJ's upbringing. Here again, we watch as AJ takes on a very heavy load, and like all the other times she performs it far, far better than the original, she gives every word meaning like no one else could.
Just lay back and let her roll over you, what a sensation! You don't have to say it is better than you have ever experienced this song in the past, but we all know it is, and it is not a cut to Freddie, it is just a fact.
I have experienced AJ performing The Show Must Go On at least 50 times, and after hearing the first few notes I lose my breath and get chills every single time, even though I know what to expect, she is phenomenal.
Very clever Larry!! Breaking down your comments/Angelina Resume into 3 parts!!! Peace!!
She actually turned 18 on January 10th, so just two days ago :)
hehe that was the perfect storm, you asking for Norwegian singers and the rest of the planet knowing Angelina were jumping their chairs to give you her name, you should take the time and react to more of her singing, you wont regret it
Congratulations you found a star 🌟 the best singer songwriter of the world 🌎 with over 200 songs on YT and already 12 own written Songs. More is announced for the next times. Please checkout her EP Old enough from last summer ⛱️ great Songs
This is not the regular AGT, but is rather the Champions edition. The entire show was pre-recorded over a week in Oct 2019 & was aired on TV on Jan-Feb, 2020. Simon tried to get her on AGT for a couple of years prior, but she wouldn't sign the standard AGT contract because she didn't want to have any commitments to AGT other than to get exposure to the US market. Simon finally relented & offered her a special contract that relinquished any control over her career. So she did not win, but she got the exposure she wanted as this performance went viral around the World & a year later she signed with Republic Records (UMG). Her record label had to agree not to promote her until she finished her schooling which she did last summer, so now she is about to begin her accent to Superstardom. She recently released an EP called "Old Enough," with 6 original songs, then a new original single called Our Time & in Dec, 2023 she released a Christmas EP titled Driving Home for Christmas with 5 classic Christmas songs. In a few years she will be a household name as the music industry begins to promote her. I liked this video & have subscribed to watch your discovery of this Musical Genius. I've been addicted to her music for 6 years now with no interest in rehab!
She actually turned 18 two days ago, timef flies.
Angelina is the most unpredictable artist. You never know how she will arrange a song. Some might only have one slight improvement in phrasing. Whereas her version of Elvis' SUSPICIOUS MINDS is transformed and is the first time I heard the lyrics. Same with BILLY JEAN. A child prodigy with no family members singers or musicians she makes you question reincarnation. The first time there is footage of her singing with a mike is 18months. First time in a studio she 6 I WHO HAVE NOTHING. 7, audition for Norways Got Talent, 8 WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE huge outdoor concert with adult backing singers. 9 I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, at 10 IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU her leaked Demo for Baby Fuzz who changed the way he sang it after listening to her, 10 FEELING GOOD, 11 her first composition WHAT IS LIFE, Then also at 11 her concert in the park with band ITS A MANS WORLD probably my favourite in a string of brilliant sets, 12 there are so many U tube performances I can only give you a few favourites . All are brilliant STAY Rihanna, BORN TO DIE, Lana Del Rey, HAPPIER Marshmellow, MILLION YEARS AGO Adele, 13 WHEN WE WERE YOUNG Adele, ID RATHER GO BLIND Etta James. Honestly it's an endless rabbit hole and the only solo artist I have listened to every day gor 9 years. Her unpredictability snd emotional deliveries are addictive
She do the killer song into a lovsong..💟😊
RIP Freddie. Angelina was declared a National Treasure of Norway. This Artist will take you on an epic journey. From 6 to now, amazing. Please react to more of her. Thanks
A great video to introduce Angelina’s family,
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. Later her mother wiped tears from her eyes and then again crosses her fingers before Howie speaks.. 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'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
You have no idea what you have been missing! lol She is amazing! She will make you feel this way in every performance, whether she is 7 or newly turned 18;)
Watch her win Norway's Got Talent with Summertime at 7. And her dazzling cover of You Put A Spell On Me at nine is almost incomprehensibly amazing.
Hi Mert, tears in the eyes and goosebumps, that's completely normal, we feel the same way. She has something in her voice that you can't describe, but these emotions hit you in your heart and soul and the effect is, I want to become a better person and it fills me with peace. She is also very humble and she has a very big heart. You can see it in her commitment to humanitarian and social work. She has already collected millions for children - she donated all of her winnings from Norway's Got Talent. We Angels (that's what she calls her fans) love her, she has over 200 covers and most of them sound better than the originals. She also has 12 self-written originals and 2 songs written for her. She can adapt to any song and makes her own thing from it. She turned 18 on January 10th. Greetings from Germany
Welcome to the genius of Angelina. I am UK based and have been following her for years. She has over 200 covers and original songs. Without a doubt the best female singer in the world at present. Hope you enjoy the rabbit hole.
Thanks for your reaction.👍😊
Oh boy.
If you like Queen she also does another queen cover at her house at 12 years old singing "The Show Must Go On" also you will want to seethe other 2songs she did at AGT2020, and all 4 songs at NGT2014 when she was 7 and 8..
the little girl crying is her little sister, the beautifull blonde is her mother and the lady right to her is Angelinas grandmother. the Man left of her sister is her father if I remember right.
SHe got famous as a kid, because her voice was practically like that when she was 7, and she covered old songs, she got the comment about being an "old soul" a lot, as an example... check out "Angelina Jordan (7) - Gloomy Sunday (Norways Got Talent 2014)" as that'd be her appearance on the show.
And another of hers that has been popular is "Angelina Jordan - I Put A Spell On You" on her official channel.
As for other Norwegian artists, there is Aurora who has gotten famous, and is said to be one of the inspirations for Billie Eilish, and she was the voice of the wind in Frozen 2.
There's Susanne Sundfør who got big enough to be in the title track of a Tom Cruise movie M83 featuring Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion, from the movie of the same name. ( Also, she's local to me, and was a couple grades below me at school, so I'm biased. :P )
And yes, what "Scary Spice" said, means I love you, in Norwegian, "Jeg elsker deg."
vampyr It was Alicia Dixon, not Scary Spice.
Must check unchained melody from dec 2023 nobel peace prize concert in norway,!❤
You have just seen the best singer on the planet,she was 18 yesterday your life has just changed for the better,Heidi gave her golden buzzer
I agree
She is a national treasure in Norway and her music is ofton topping the charts there. But, because her family chose to give space & time for childhood and school, she has not been widely promoted. Covid also did a number on her recognition as it closed down the world weeks after this performance. Her first EP, titled "Old Enough", announed to the world that she has finished high school and is ready to face the world head on. Her first limited 10 year catalog has already garnered billions of views.
Mert Nor, thank you for your first reaction to Angelina Jordan, my all time favorite musical artist. This is my favorite vocal performance by anyone. Given the context that she was 13 years old and created a genius arrangement to one of the most beloved songs on Earth. Standing on one of the biggest stages on Earth, in front of someone she desire to sing to for 10 years. To deliver that performance is mind blowing. Angelina just turned 18, on January 10, 2024 and has over 200 songs on UA-cam, including 12 originals. In my opinion, not a bad one in her catalog. Search "Angelina Jordan every song" on UA-cam to access a playlist.
Angelina is a living, breathing library of music history, she has always been absolutely fearless and has taken on some of the biggest songs by the greats in music since she was very young. A truly gifted young artist. Thx.
She was 13. How did you not hear Angelina and Heidi say it 4 times (LOL) She was born 10 Jan 2006 But seriously you did an excellent😁reaction and I thank you
Your music life just changed forever! You’re observations were bang on point..yes, her own arrangement and as for soul? Well she’s up there with Billie Holiday imo.
Beautiful reaction Mert, thank you. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation, at only 13 years old! This is a splendid example of Angelina's extraordinary and unique talent, her extraordinary intelligence and musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms the great songs she loves so much. Every time she interprets a song by stripping it in her own way, she seems to simultaneously increase the level of understanding of the lyrics and amplify their expressive power. Angelina's musical vision transcends the ordinary and she always manages to give a different interpretative reading, she really has a musical knowledge and analytical ability that is beyond my understanding, also considering her age. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, despite the fact that she has listened to her hundreds of times💛🧡❤
Nice that you like Angelina Jordan she is amazing, you also have to try another amazing Norwegian singer from Bergen «Aurora» you could try «the murder song» as a start. 😊
She had soul in her voice at 18 months old. You better staple on your socks when you check out her black and white version of "I put a spell on you", she was barely 9 years old when she recorded it. 🔥🇨🇦😇
You've only just begun......
Oh mate - you're going down the rabbit-hole now. 😉
You have a journey of discovery in front of you - that Im almost envious of.
Please react to more of her performances - you will not regret it.
Hello from Norway. I have seen some of your reactions to norwegian stuff. Now, when you found Angelina Jordan I will give you a sub in hope of more....
Colorful Outfit of ART
The artistic talent of Angelina Jordan, a young singer with a remarkable voice, runs in the family. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, is a renowned artist and poet who has exhibited her works around the world. Zamani also designed the colorful outfit that Jordan wore during her performance, showcasing her creativity and flair. Jordan inherited not only her grandmother's artistic skills, but also her precocity. Zamani was a child prodigy who started painting at the age of four, and Jordan began singing when she was only two years old. The two share a special bond that transcends generations and inspires audiences © Larry D. Pifer.
Mert, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" She was born in Oslo January 10th, 2006, and she just turned 18 a couple of days ago!!!!!! Her family moved to Los Angeles about 5 years ago but she returns to Norway often. In fact, she did a series of Concerts there a couple of years ago. You definitely have to watch her performances on Norway's Got Talent. Some of her fans will send you the links to her 4 performances on the Show (she turned 8 years old during the Show). I'm actually startled you didn't know who she was. Anyway, enjoy her. I think you can see how special she is and her soulfulness gives listeners goosebumps, they tear up with an urge to cry and they find it difficult to speak normally during or right after she performs. Sweaty hands is a new one! 🙂 Good luck with your channel. I just subscribed and believe me, there will be lots of folks joining me.

Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html
At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html
At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html
At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html
On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her.
At Age 16 she has three new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html
She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
Great Reaction
If this is your introduction to AJ, it was a good one, but barely scratches the surface of her 200 covers and originals that take us on a journey of unbelievable depth and heights. You should see her winning Norways Got Talent with all four short songs in this compilation. ua-cam.com/video/O2bX15tYFVk/v-deo.html . Good reaction.
Been a fan of your Canadian content for a while. Nice to see you doing Angelina reactions👍👍 This girl is a revelation.
"Nothing compares to live music... Relax and enjoy the magical show.!!! - Miss. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide... "Hi - Mr. Mert Nor"
❤ good of you to cover Norwegian artists. Then again, we do share some history. 😊
Check out Angela's version of "I Put a Spell on You", she was 9!
Just about to watch your reaction to I put a spell on you then realised you did this one first! Great reaction and I am now going to watch the second one. Welcome to the "Barefoot Princess" boy are you in for a ride. Subscribed........
Angelina Jordan just did two shows in Las Vegas (29th Feb) 2024 😊😊😊😊😊😊 Try the version "HERO"
Angelina arranges all of the songs she does to make them her own. It is difficult to call any of her songs covers.
Welcome to this rabbit hole! There is so much to discover from her. Pls try Ylvis! They are comedians but also good musicians. I love Norwegians (as a boring Swede).
Dear british neighbor, Miss Jordan was born with a deeper voice and a high intelligence. Her mind is probaly 20 to 30 years older, than her body. I should no, I had the honor to meet such kids.
Have a peasant day and a good 2024.
Your german neighbor Elmar
I completely loved your reaction. She is incredible and you made me smile with the way you appreciate what she did.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So happy that you likes this! AJ is an amazing singer, possibly the best vocalist of our times. Subbed

Twilight Zone
You are witnessing a rare phenomenon, a prodigy of musical talent that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Angelina Jordan is not just a singer; she is a force of nature that captivates and inspires billions of people around the world. Her voice is a gift, a miracle that defies explanation. You are not dreaming; you are in the Twilight Zone. © Larry D. Pifer

AGT Simon^^^^^
First, and foremost; Angelina was not on that show to win. This was quite simply to promote and expose the US public to this prodigy that comes along maybe once in a generation. To win, AJ’s family would have had to sign a contract with Simon, and he would have been in control of her future. Her family would not allow that to happen. It was not question of money offered because AJ was already worth 2 to 3 million at the age of 13, and her family are very wealthy. I am sure America’s Got Talent was paid well by her production company Stargate, the hitmaking duo (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith). David Foster tried to sign her in the past after she won Norway's Got Talent, but the family did not like the contract. She is like nothing we have ever experienced.
