hi motoBZA,,you just turned in to Angelinas magical world,a great discovery,she is not only a amazing singer,in any age,but she is able to captivate you forever with covers,many better than originals,and of course her great originals,not so many,yet,but it came soon...more originals from her,..and this..she put a spell on you,9years old
You just discovered my favorite vocal artist, ever. You may not know it yet, but you are a lucky guy. She has been held back by her family for the last 10 years, slowly accumulating views on Facebook (4+ Billion) & UA-cam (1.8+ Billion) while finishing school. In a few months she graduates HS a year early & Republic Records will start promoting her. So you found her just before she explodes on the music scene with full force. I liked & subscribed for more Angelina reactions. She is a once-in-a-lifetime phenom!!!
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 the youngest ever vocalist 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 almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer. Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals. Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram. 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.

Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss. Angelina Jordan is now 17 years old. A few days ago she sang in Paris at the ceremony - FIFA Football Awards 2022. This song composed by RedOne is attempting to be an anthem for FIFA, the worldwide organization representing the largest and most popular sport in the worlds. A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice did it brilliantly. This must be seen. There are sections in this track that intentionally imitate the sounds of a stadium.
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. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered 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!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently 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. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, 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!
*Your reaction was informative and pure, you have a new sub here.* *I'll be waiting in the wing along with thousands of other Angels for your next Angelina reaction.* *And kudo to Olaf Wiese for that post, it's one of the best posts I've ever seen on Angelina, it's not too much, and it's not too little, but just the right amount of info.*
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Subbed for more 🙂 I'm curious to see if she'll manage to blow you clean off of your bike🤣 I think she will. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥Btw, I see that you reacted to Autumn Leaves yesterday. I just want to tell you that Angelina, too, has covered that song. She was 10 years old at the time, and it is absolutely beautiful. Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/h4l0y3I2vqc/v-deo.html
👍👍 You just summed up pretty much of what Angelina is all about,, to her it's all about the music and what her listeners get out of it and nothing to do with her personal,,, 👣🌬🌎
Fun and amazement await. She has already changed my world. She will be in yours the rest of your life (and beyond). She is a very special artist and humanitarian.
You mentioned you had done Jo and Beth's I'd Rather Go Blind, check out Angelina just chilling on a couch at home, then she opens her mouth and just wails.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our 9 year old barefoot Princess, Angelina actually arranges this herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s, Angelina is the boss and is commanding this performance,Many children can sing well and have learned to sing a song well , and there parents say wow that’s great, Angelina is definitely different and a prodigy she from a early age understands the kraft ,I’ve been following Angelina now for around 8 years now she is so talented she has around 170 plus and some originals songs to, great reaction thanks 🙏
You have just found the G.O.A.T. The Queen of Jazz. The greatest performance ever by a 9 year old. And amazing is barely 9 and does her own arrangements. Great suggestion to follow with Bohemian Rhapsody at 13 and I Would Rather go Blind at 12..
Hello Moto, she's bloody awesome ain't she. been following this little Angel for years and i'm telling you, you are in for some big surprises. They don't call her the Musical chameleon for nothing, anyway, thank you for the nice reaction and i hope you will carry on reacting to some of her 200+ covers and originals. Just don't get lost in the rabbit hole. lol
This is Angelina Jordan’s version of Quincy Jones arrangement of Fly Me to the Moon that she did for Jones 85th birthday celebration at the O2 Center when she was 12. This is the rehearsal . She was invited by Jones to do this. ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html. I think she is better than Sinatra, and I like Sinatra.
I enjoyed watching you react Bandit, just subbed for more Angelina. 9 years old and already sounds like a seasoned adult. This version is the best one so far and it's done by a child.
For songs written by her check out "Million Miles" ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html she wrote this to her Grandfather who had died another song would be "Shield" she wrote this as a tribute to her Grandmother. For her youngest check out "I Who Have Nothing" ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html Age 6 First time in a recording studio, turn on CC to catch the engineers comments at the end. For the first one I ever heard check out "Bohemian Rhapsody" ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html Age 13 on AGT, she arranged this version. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Welcome to our world! Peru you had to wait so long to find Angelina, but now I’m happy you can play catch up. Not quite to 200 videos yet, but she graduates high school this spring so we anticipate a new album to be released around August. Angelina is a phenomena. She writes, arranges, plays several instruments and uses her voice to tell a songs story better than any other artist out there. Have fun and pick any song from any age from her and keep the tissues close by. Thank you from Alaska
Hi, I'm glad you like Angelina's version too. She is a norwegian treasure. I recommend you more great songs that Angelina has sung in the last two years. It's not an evaluative selection, because I don't know of any "bad" songs by Angelina. But I gave you my reasons for these songs. Angelina has also made an official appearance for Norway at the age of 15: - Heal The World (Live from LA) (Michael Jackson - Heal The World Cover) - ua-cam.com/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/v-deo.html (Event information: "Virtual visit by HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway to the State of California.) Be amazed at how good she's been since last year. I have no explanation as to how she managed to make such a development. But since this song she sings on a different level. - Suspicious Minds 16 years old - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - Elvis Presley Cover - she is on the next level 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Enjoy the music and Greetings from Germany
Hi, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany
You are on for some wonderful, enjoyable trip with miss Jordan. Most certainly the Artist of a lifetime. In my 70 years on this planet, never seen such talent. Enjoy again and again. One thing, this is her own arrangement.
AJ is awesome, she is a generational talent, I just love listening to her, she takes every song she sings so serious, with respect to the original artist and adds her own little bit
Since you got into this after watching the Beth and Joe version of I’d Rather Go Blind, you really should watch Angelina’s take on that. She’s 12 for that, sitting on her sofa with a mic and a recording track, it’s her own arrangement-and she will blow you away. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/v-deo.html
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible performance (which she also arranged) - at age 9. And - as young as she is here - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Welcome to AJs world,,,,, our Barefoot Princess and our Angel with a 1000 voices. Keep up reacting to AJ,,, you will soon see what we know. Next you need to see all 3 of her AGT2020 songs at 13yr old, Then all 4 of her NGT at 7 and 8yrs old
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Simply outstanding that she arranged that performance at 9 years old... That is freakin insane... and that smoky, soulful voice at age 9... utterly crazy 😳😳😳😳❤️
This is Angelina's own arrangement of the song, based on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' original. Angelina grew up listening to and singing jazz, blues, and soul, as well as 20th and 21st century pop. She won Norway's Got Talent 2014 at age 8 and recorded this a year later. She actively supports children's and environmental charities and has sung barefoot sing age 6, when she gave her own shoes to a shoeless girl in the Middle East. I'll suggest you listen to her live cover of James Brown's signature song It's A Man's World. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html
Hi there just subscribed for your Angelina journey - by the way after winning Norway got Talent age 8 all big record label guys and even Disney travelled to Norway knockin on her door with big Whalets to get her signed but got turned down by her family to grant Angelina a somehow normal childhood and best possible education - she usually only showed up in charity galas and events to collect money for children and enviremental causes - in Interviews her mum stated that Angelina want to sing at Peace Nobel Price and fullfilled that desire at age 8 in Oslo Norway - she travelled around the world (in her holliday time) singing in Front of royalties and state leaders - her goal to spread love and peace is not yet full filled (too crazy Times now i guess) but she works on it - another Goal to sing for the whole World she had come a lot closer last week singing at the Fifa Aword Show in Front of 300 Million people - my friend buckle up and explore the miracle that is Angelina Jordan Astar - cheers from a 59 year old fanboy from Germany
I have listened to this masterpiece by Angelina hundreds of times, mostly to enjoy new reactions, like yours to this very lovely and talented person. She was nine here, and as you know is seventeen now, and soon to be Republic's main start talent. And yes, I know they also have Taylor Swift, but Taylor wasn't this amazing at such a young age. I will frequently come back to these early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, at her youngest, are absolutely stunning, and set the stage for you to lose yourself down this beautiful rabbit hole. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Thank you for saying that! A lot of artists make it about themselves and the image they project. She makes it about the soul of the song. Angelina is a VOCAL MONSTER.
Sends chills up my spine every time! So, the story goes is that her parents declined the contract Simon Cowell offered her and I'm so glad she did. She her more creative freedom!
With every recording you watch/hear with Angelina, whether a production quality release or a home studio rehearsal, you will learn something new and interesting about Angelina’s vocal artistry.

Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
Welcome to the music world of Angelina Jordan, the Barefoot Angel. Angelina is a once-in-a-lifetime musical prodigy with her unique, pure, and angelic voice.
You may have noticed that you have now opened the Flood Gates on this amazing performer. Thanks for the reaction. Enjoy the journey before her new release comes out this summer!
Awesome reaction and she has over 185 songs in her catalog in which 5 are Originals, 2 were written for her voice at age 13 and one of her best performances at age 10 was leaked at age 12,before Original Artist released his version! Which he played on her arrangement, she arranges all her own music, sometimes gets assistance, but has last say so, God Bless!
YES, agreed it is all about the song for Angelina and she is a master singer story teller. Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created this arrangement for this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic and delivered a powerful, emotional performance. We can't understand how Angelina understands human emotions so well at such a young age, but we should recognize she does and enjoy the unique music she creates. Please read the bio I compiled for her. 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. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. 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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. 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 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 hundreds of millions. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
One reactor was excited when he got 5000 subs. After he started doing Angelina he now has 78000. She has that affect on people. She has 4 billion views on Facebook and 2 billion on UA-cam. She also has millions on Spotify.
Really liked the guys recommendation to you. He gave a great overview. You will get so many views reacting to her stuff. She is amazing. Watching it in order is really fun.
I just jumped aboard for the ride. Would love to see where this takes you. I think you're going to love it. Here's a request for a reaction to a performance that I don't think gets enough attention. Angelina at 13, singing Frank Sinatra's version of "You Make Me Feel So Young": ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html
@@kevingood4644 Gotta walk the talk. There are so many channels and comments I've posted on about that. Now my biggest fear is forgetting and getting trashed for it. I've really backed off on how often I shake my finger under someone's nose about including a link. There's always the chance a strong hand will reach up and break it off. I don't want to have to use my toes when counting to 10.
Angelina Jordan. What A Difference A Day Makes. She was 8. Outside performance.
The journey begins into Angelina's Wonderland.
hi motoBZA,,you just turned in to Angelinas magical world,a great discovery,she is not only a amazing singer,in any age,but she is able to captivate you forever with covers,many better than originals,and of course her great originals,not so many,yet,but it came soon...more originals from her,..and this..she put a spell on you,9years old
You just discovered my favorite vocal artist, ever. You may not know it yet, but you are a lucky guy. She has been held back by her family for the last 10 years, slowly accumulating views on Facebook (4+ Billion) & UA-cam (1.8+ Billion) while finishing school. In a few months she graduates HS a year early & Republic Records will start promoting her. So you found her just before she explodes on the music scene with full force. I liked & subscribed for more Angelina reactions. She is a once-in-a-lifetime phenom!!!
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 the youngest ever vocalist 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 almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer.
Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals.
Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram.
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.

really appreciated the reaction....
I can tell you're in for a life changing time of your life....
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Angelina Jordan is now 17 years old. A few days ago she sang in Paris at the ceremony - FIFA Football Awards 2022. This song composed by RedOne is attempting to be an anthem for FIFA, the worldwide organization representing the largest and most popular sport in the worlds. A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice did it brilliantly. This must be seen. There are sections in this track that intentionally imitate the sounds of a stadium.
WELCOME TO THE BAREFOOT ANGEL 😇 RABBIT HOLE, Loved your reaction hope you have a blessed evening 🙏
Subscribed. Looking forward to more Angelina!
Great reaction.😀New subscriber here for more Angelina.😀
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. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered 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!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently 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.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, 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!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Congrats, you just discovered the most astonishing voice of the century...!
You’re going to love her. She’s beautiful inside and out. Great reaction 👍🏼🎼🤗
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s World , 👍🥰❤️ from a Angelina Angel and you got a new sub
You have just discovered a true gem! Subscribed for your incredible journey down the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole! It will be epic! 🔥
*Your reaction was informative and pure, you have a new sub here.* *I'll be waiting in the wing along with thousands of other Angels for your next Angelina reaction.* *And kudo to Olaf Wiese for that post, it's one of the best posts I've ever seen on Angelina, it's not too much, and it's not too little, but just the right amount of info.*
Woohoo!! I and many other fans are excited to see you discover Angelina Jordan ☺️ I will be checking you out in the future. Enjoy!!
"Tasty." Yeah, you got it. That's what Angelina does with her music, makes it tasty. Next, try her performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on Am Got Talent.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Great comments! "All about the song and the soul of the song..." - exactly ! She is a true musical prodigy and genius
Subbed for more 🙂 I'm curious to see if she'll manage to blow you clean off of your bike🤣 I think she will. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥Btw, I see that you reacted to Autumn Leaves yesterday. I just want to tell you that Angelina, too, has covered that song. She was 10 years old at the time, and it is absolutely beautiful.
Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/h4l0y3I2vqc/v-deo.html
👍👍
You just summed up pretty much of what Angelina is all about,, to her it's all about the music and what her listeners get out of it and nothing to do with her personal,,,
👣🌬🌎
Best rabbit hole in the internet. Hold on for relentlessly good performances
gracias por reaccionar a la princesa descalza, ella es simplemente increíble y no va a dejar de sorprenderte 🤗
Fun and amazement await. She has already changed my world. She will be in yours the rest of your life (and beyond). She is a very special artist and humanitarian.
👍👍👍
You mentioned you had done Jo and Beth's I'd Rather Go Blind, check out Angelina just chilling on a couch at home, then she opens her mouth and just wails.
thanks, Moto - this remains one of my favorites.. that 9-yr-old... so "in charge"..
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our 9 year old barefoot Princess, Angelina actually arranges this herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s, Angelina is the boss and is commanding this performance,Many children can sing well and have learned to sing a song well , and there parents say wow that’s great, Angelina is definitely different and a prodigy she from a early age understands the kraft ,I’ve been following Angelina now for around 8 years now she is so talented she has around 170 plus and some originals songs to, great reaction thanks 🙏
You have just found the G.O.A.T. The Queen of Jazz.
The greatest performance ever by a 9 year old.
And amazing is barely 9 and does her own arrangements.
Great suggestion to follow with Bohemian Rhapsody at 13 and
I Would Rather go Blind at 12..
200 or so things to look at...and every one of them will blow your mind
Hello Moto, she's bloody awesome ain't she. been following this little Angel for years and i'm telling you, you are in for some big surprises.
They don't call her the Musical chameleon for nothing, anyway, thank you for the nice reaction and i hope you will carry on reacting to some of her 200+ covers and originals. Just don't get lost in the rabbit hole. lol
This is Angelina Jordan’s version of Quincy Jones arrangement of Fly Me to the Moon that she did for Jones 85th birthday celebration at the O2 Center when she was 12. This is the rehearsal . She was invited by Jones to do this. ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html. I think she is better than Sinatra, and I like Sinatra.
It seems that your previous reaction was Autumn Leaves - you may be interested to know that Angelina did cover of Autumn leaves.
Moto Bandit, welcome to AJ's world! you cannot go wrong with her, I am subscribing in hopes that you continue to react to more of her. Thank you!
I enjoyed watching you react Bandit, just subbed for more Angelina. 9 years old and already sounds like a seasoned adult. This version is the best one so far and it's done by a child.
Left out the link for "Shield" ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
For songs written by her check out "Million Miles" ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html she wrote this to her Grandfather who had died another song would be "Shield" she wrote this as a tribute to her Grandmother. For her youngest check out "I Who Have Nothing" ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html Age 6 First time in a recording studio, turn on CC to catch the engineers comments at the end. For the first one I ever heard check out "Bohemian Rhapsody" ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html Age 13 on AGT, she arranged this version. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Excellent reaction. I hope you go down the Angelina rabbit hole. I’ve subscribed for the journey. Please include links though.
Little , gifted, genius artist!
Welcome to our world! Peru you had to wait so long to find Angelina, but now I’m happy you can play catch up. Not quite to 200 videos yet, but she graduates high school this spring so we anticipate a new album to be released around August.
Angelina is a phenomena. She writes, arranges, plays several instruments and uses her voice to tell a songs story better than any other artist out there.
Have fun and pick any song from any age from her and keep the tissues close by. Thank you from Alaska
Peru? That’s how this “smart” phone spelled sorry
@@ronjones1077, 😆 That’s why I use my laptop for everything. Other than the fact that I can’t see the text very well on the little screen. 😧
Hi, I'm glad you like Angelina's version too. She is a norwegian treasure. I recommend you more great songs that Angelina has sung in the last two years.
It's not an evaluative selection, because I don't know of any "bad" songs by Angelina. But I gave you my reasons for these songs.
Angelina has also made an official appearance for Norway at the age of 15:
- Heal The World (Live from LA) (Michael Jackson - Heal The World Cover) - ua-cam.com/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/v-deo.html
(Event information: "Virtual visit by HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway to the State of California.)
Be amazed at how good she's been since last year. I have no explanation as to how she managed to make such a development. But since this song she sings on a different level.
- Suspicious Minds 16 years old - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - Elvis Presley Cover - she is on the next level 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Enjoy the music and
Greetings from Germany
Amazing... a young legend!
just blows me out of the water every time I listen to her sing .
The rabbit hole is deep with this Angel.
Hi, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany
You are on for some wonderful, enjoyable trip with miss Jordan. Most certainly the Artist of a lifetime. In my 70 years on this planet, never seen such talent. Enjoy again and again. One thing, this is her own arrangement.
A link to original video would be nice.
Please include links to the original video and links to all of Angelinas social media. I can provide you the links after my nap
AJ is awesome, she is a generational talent, I just love listening to her, she takes every song she sings so serious, with respect to the original artist and adds her own little bit
Since you got into this after watching the Beth and Joe version of I’d Rather Go Blind, you really should watch Angelina’s take on that. She’s 12 for that, sitting on her sofa with a mic and a recording track, it’s her own arrangement-and she will blow you away. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/v-deo.html
Angelina will do that to you with each one her unique covers as well as her own originals. Until the next Angelina react .cheers!!
✒️...there are a lot of Angels out there...welcome in the beautyful world of Angelina😉👍
😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's incredible performance (which she also arranged) - at age 9. And - as young as she is here - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
It's all about delivering the essence of the song to our heart. Wonderful ❣️
Welcome to AJs world,,,,, our Barefoot Princess and our Angel with a 1000 voices. Keep up reacting to AJ,,, you will soon see what we know. Next you need to see all 3 of her AGT2020 songs at 13yr old, Then all 4 of her NGT at 7 and 8yrs old
A series of musical explosions !!!
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina 9 yo on her beast mode.
Simply outstanding that she arranged that performance at 9 years old... That is freakin insane... and that smoky, soulful voice at age 9... utterly crazy 😳😳😳😳❤️
This is Angelina's own arrangement of the song, based on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' original. Angelina grew up listening to and singing jazz, blues, and soul, as well as 20th and 21st century pop. She won Norway's Got Talent 2014 at age 8 and recorded this a year later. She actively supports children's and environmental charities and has sung barefoot sing age 6, when she gave her own shoes to a shoeless girl in the Middle East. I'll suggest you listen to her live cover of James Brown's signature song It's A Man's World. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html
Hi there just subscribed for your Angelina journey - by the way after winning Norway got Talent age 8 all big record label guys and even Disney travelled to Norway knockin on her door with big Whalets to get her signed but got turned down by her family to grant Angelina a somehow normal childhood and best possible education - she usually only showed up in charity galas and events to collect money for children and enviremental causes - in Interviews her mum stated that Angelina want to sing at Peace Nobel Price and fullfilled that desire at age 8 in Oslo Norway - she travelled around the world (in her holliday time) singing in Front of royalties and state leaders - her goal to spread love and peace is not yet full filled (too crazy Times now i guess) but she works on it - another Goal to sing for the whole World she had come a lot closer last week singing at the Fifa Aword Show in Front of 300 Million people - my friend buckle up and explore the miracle that is Angelina Jordan Astar - cheers from a 59 year old fanboy from Germany
I have listened to this masterpiece by Angelina hundreds of times, mostly to enjoy new reactions, like yours to this very lovely and talented person. She was nine here, and as you know is seventeen now, and soon to be Republic's main start talent. And yes, I know they also have Taylor Swift, but Taylor wasn't this amazing at such a young age. I will frequently come back to these early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, at her youngest, are absolutely stunning, and set the stage for you to lose yourself down this beautiful rabbit hole.

Thank you for saying that! A lot of artists make it about themselves and the image they project. She makes it about the soul of the song. Angelina is a VOCAL MONSTER.
It is always so much fun to watch new people discover Angelina. She is a gift that keeps on giving.
Welcome to the Club!
Sends chills up my spine every time! So, the story goes is that her parents declined the contract Simon Cowell offered her and I'm so glad she did. She her more creative freedom!
With every recording you watch/hear with Angelina, whether a production quality release or a home studio rehearsal, you will learn something new and interesting about Angelina’s vocal artistry.

You have found a barefoot STAR. The latest she sing the FIFA song.
Great reaction! New subscriber here. Love to see people discover her.
Thank you so much!!
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
New Sub here. She is a gift and gifted individual!
I am still Holding out For You age 10.
Welcome to the music world of Angelina Jordan, the Barefoot Angel.
Angelina is a once-in-a-lifetime musical prodigy with her unique, pure, and angelic voice.
Thank you for all the kind comments!
You may have noticed that you have now opened the Flood Gates on this amazing performer. Thanks for the reaction. Enjoy the journey before her new release comes out this summer!
Awesome reaction and she has over 185 songs in her catalog in which 5 are Originals, 2 were written for her voice at age 13 and one of her best performances at age 10 was leaked at age 12,before Original Artist released his version! Which he played on her arrangement, she arranges all her own music, sometimes gets assistance, but has last say so, God Bless!
YES, agreed it is all about the song for Angelina and she is a master singer story teller. Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created this arrangement for this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic and delivered a powerful, emotional performance. We can't understand how Angelina understands human emotions so well at such a young age, but we should recognize she does and enjoy the unique music she creates. Please read the bio I compiled for her.
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.

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.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 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 hundreds of millions.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
Your introduction is great Andy!
This is a great overview of all the important things to know about Angelina.

I just jumped aboard for the ride. Would love to see where this takes you. I think you're going to love it. Here's a request for a reaction to a performance that I don't think gets enough attention. Angelina at 13, singing Frank Sinatra's version of "You Make Me Feel So Young": ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html
Thank you for providing the link lol
@@kevingood4644 Gotta walk the talk. There are so many channels and comments I've posted on about that. Now my biggest fear is forgetting and getting trashed for it. I've really backed off on how often I shake my finger under someone's nose about including a link. There's always the chance a strong hand will reach up and break it off. I don't want to have to use my toes when counting to 10.
@@ShanLiB How bout we just enjoy this incredible artist and I’ll keep my trap shut in future 😁?
@@kevingood4644 She has that effect on all of us. She makes me want to do better. I don't always measure up but I keep trying.
