Hard to find reactors who are educated, sensitive, & articulate; and actively reacting to Angelina. So glad you are here, and I’m looking forward to more; hopefully for a long time to come.
The performance speaks for itself. For me, when everything is taken into account, it’s the best live performance I’ve ever seen. It’s a 13 year old, with her own incredible arrangement of an iconic song, singing before judges and a national TV audience. Her mesmerizing arrangement is stunning, soulful, and bluesy-with nowhere for her voice to hide. And she nails everything. It’s not just her voice. Since early childhood, Angelina has had the musicality, presence, and confidence to take on the best singers singing their best songs-and she goes her own way with them. You’ll remember her version, even though she always shows complete respect for the original song and singer. I listen to Angelina everyday, and I’ve never even considered that with any other singer-not even close.
Angelina recently appeared in a German fashion show, presented by Heidi Klum , in Germany. She said: «Angelina you know you have a very special place in my heart.»
Her version was also received so well in the music community at-large, that I have seen a number of bands and solo singers cover her version. Queen, in allowing her to copyright this version, was following through on Freddy's quote that "if you are going to cover us, at least make it interesting". Boy howdy, did she succeed in that task!!
Absolutely phenomenal performance from the Queen of jazz and soul, Angelina’s fans named her the barefoot queen with a thousand different styles and voices, The band Queen were so impressed with Angelina’s rendition of their classic song, Queen gave Angelina the copyright to her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, judge Heidi Klum gave Angelina the Golden buzzer and Angelina progressed to the final of the show, All Angelina’s performances on AGT Champions are fire 🔥, Angelina takes a classic song and makes it her own still pays tribute to the original artist, Most singers it’s about themselves with Angelina it’s about paying homage to the song, this is why Angelina is so talented and special, I’ve attended many of Angelina’s live concerts, the first time I had seen her live was was in Norway 🇳🇴at 12 years old with her arrangement of ( It’s A Mans World) she blew my mind with her vocals, I’ve seen AJ at 12 , 16 , 17 , and 18 years old, live ,Angelina never disappoints she is a musical genius, Great reaction thanks 🙏
She emotionally moved you quite a bit, didn't she? Welcome to the club! A lot of the comments will be lengthy but I'll keep mine very short. No one like her. NO ONE!
Zack, your dad is a very wise man. He obviously has excellent taste and he knows extraordinary talent when he sees and hears it. I enjoyed your breakdown and I’m glad to see that you’re committed to continuing down the Angelina Jordan path. IMO, listening to Angelina is a life changing experience.
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 arrengement 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. (There are now over 15 million streams on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
The Norwegian singer, now living in LA, Angelina Jordan (18) is not an artist who goes after quick fame and sings in a bikini, but an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Sung for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... Young listeners will be reached when angelina wants it. She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, her family, and herself, she actually sets the pace herself to total fame within 2/3 years I guess. Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe at the age of just turned 18!!!! All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody! (Translated by Google)
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever heard ❤ Queen themselves shared this performance on their socials, saying Wow, what a rendition ❤ That is a huuuge compliment 👍
Thank you Zack , not only vocally is she amazing but musically she is also amazing , she is a true artist , the feeling and meaning of a song comes first for her even on this stage she will not show off or belt if she feels it doesn't enhance the song , she is mature way beyond her years, she is in this for life not for over night fame ,she is completely unique , to me she is a pioneer creating new potentials, there has never been an Angelina before that's for sure and never has an artist touched my heart like she does. I look forward to more AJ 💜👣💎
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 18, 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 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. A world tour is in the works, likely to coincide with her full album release. Here is a semi-chronological UA-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu 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 stated at 8 years old that she would be donating 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.
AJ recorded 4 songs in that original studio that I've seen. Three are a bit rough but I Who Have Nothing is surprisingly good. I believe it is actually the latest in the group but was recorded on the first take hence the first time comment. Have heard she was 6 at the time and it was an after school program. Reading and singing at that level in a foreign language is truly extraordinary even if she was the ripe old age of 7.
Beautiful reaction Zack. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic Queen's song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation and make such an intimate and emotional version at just 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. 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. 💛🧡❤
Thank you Zack....one of the best analysis of what this young lady did, great to see reactors like yourself that have an understanding of music...does not have to be belted out or filled with all kinds of vocal tricks, sometimes just the music will suffice. The remaining members of Queen upon seeing this posted it on their Official Twitter account with this "What a rendition" and gave her copyrights to her version, about highest of praise that will ever be needed. We have all heard this song 100's of times copying the original, you will never hear this version again. Cheers brother for another wonderful reaction....love this channel and have joined through Patreon. 🥰🥰
One of her songs on NGT was "Summertime". She did another performance of it a year or so later and it was even better. Again, I will highly recommend "Feelin' Good". I think she was 10 at the time.
The first 1000 times I watched this video it made the tears flow in admiration of her skills in touching one's soul, now I am able to just feel upliftment at the unique talent she has! A Million Miles studio version ( self penned tribute ) is beautiful. " Summertime from Norway's Got Talent is a true Gem. Love you have found AJ.
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'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Great reaction. I realize you appear to be going chronologically into the Angelina rabbit hole, but I encourage you to step back to 10 years of age. "Feeling Good" really shows the transition taking place to the mature voice, as does the leaked demo "I'm Still Holding Out For You" . Then stepping forward again on the chronological path is an orginal. "Million Miles", a tribute to her grandfather who had passed away. Then perhaps Adele's "Go Easy On Me" These are some of my absolute favorites and some of her more famous performances, all for good reason. But whatever you choose, enjoy the rabbit hole. 😁 PS. Thanks for not shredding the performances into confetti with a bazillion pauses and comments.
Forgot to mention that she sings Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on AGT too, i actually liked it more than this one. She got the Golden Buzzer on Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@poolhallshark Like I've always said, it's not a competition. It is a show that looks like a contest and is presented as such, not with artists who have qualified for it, but with invited guests - some for very dubious reasons. Participiants came from across the AGT and Got Talent franchise - including winners, finalists, semi-finalists, quarter-finalists, live round contestants (!) and other notable acts (!!!). Of the 40 participants, only 12 were winners and of the 10 finalists, only Angelina (Norway), Marcelito (Phillippines) and the dog training girl (Germany) won in their country. Of the acts that "won" 1st - 3rd place in AGT The Champions 2, none were champions before. so not really strictly winners ...
@@paulwagner9303 Thanks for the information, I can't really say that I was aware. So I guess "The Champions" is EVER so slightly misleading then... Hehe
@@poolhallshark Looks like there were a number of people feeling kind of cheated when they found out, so when this format was renewed after Covid they renamed it to "AGT All-Stars".

Thanks for another great Angelina reaction, Zack! Cool that your dad suggested this one I think. Queen themselves pinned her performance on their social media, saying "WOW! What a rendition!" Angelina also received the copyright to her arrangement; this was HER arrangement. This performance also earned Angelina the Golden Buzzer, propelling her directly to the semi finals. Her next (and last) was her performance of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Sir Elton John. I'd forgive you for doing that one as well, now that you're into her AGT run. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hi Zack. Congrats! You're doing a good job reacting to our jazz queen. May I suggest you react to the following covers as you intend to dig in more into Angelina's earlier performances? 1. Stay (Rihana), 2. A million years ago (Adele). 3. All of me (John Legend) 4. I'd rather go blind (Etta James) 5. California dreaming (Mamas & Papas). 6. You make me feel so young (F. Sinatra). 7. Someone like you (Adele). 8. Always on my mind (Elvis) 9. Born to die (Lana Del Rey). 10. Feeling Good (Iconic song covered by multiple singers). All the songs in this list were covered by AJ at the ages of 12 & 13 except for N° 10 which she covered at the age of 10.
If you want to hear Angelina belting, check out It's a Man's World from her concert with the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps, but put your seat belt on first! This AGT recording was done just four days before her 14th birthday (which was on 10th January), so yes, she was thirteen when she performed this. You might also like to watch her sing Yellow Brick Road on the same show. More fireworks!
Hey Zack I'm enjoying your reactions to Angelina. Shes my everything. She changes people from the inside out. I've been with her for almost seven years. I really hope you continue on this journey with our musical genius. 👍
Try to react to one of her best. Few reactors have seen this, its called "I'm still holding out for you". Great song written by Baby Fuzz who asked 11 years old Angelina to make a demo to his song. Baby Fuzz has written for a numerious of artist f.ex. Maroon 5.
I believe the show was taped in the October-November 2019 time frame and first aired on January 6th, 2020. Angelina, a 13 year old in her element! She rearranged Queen’s iconic song and just kills it. Remaining members of Queen praised her rendition and allowed her to copyright it. Just think she starts out a cappella and slides in at perfect pitch, just an amazing young lady! Would highly recommend going back to her Norway’s Got Talent all four songs with closed captions on! Then look at her at 10 years old performing Feeling Good-in door version. Her 2022 studio versions of Suspicious Minds. AGT The Champions. She was invited because she had already won Norways Got Talent. Full Golden Buzzer Moment ua-cam.com/video/3QLhZ5N8-F4/v-deo.html When she was 12 years old, Quincy Jones invited Angelina to open his 85th Birthday Celebration at the O2 Arena in London, England ua-cam.com/video/uFtFHs2Dg5E/v-deo.html Fly Me To The Moon!
Angie was 13 but didn't win it was a different format that was kind of weird the way they voted. She was easily the best but some people just don't know true talent when they hear and see it.
The woman standing with her hands to her mouth at the end is her grandmother Mery. The blond woman next to her is her mother Sara, the young girl next to her is her sister Juliette, and finally the guy next to Juliette is her uncle Mike. They are her shield. 👍
Thanks for another great Angelina reaction Zack. This was the first performance I ever heard from Angelina, which was on January 6th, 2020. I was so blown away that I immediately started listening to everything of hers that I could find, and I have literally listened to her every day since then. I noticed that you wore headphones for Angelina's performance of Back to Black, but not I Put a Spell on You or Bohemian Rhapsody. FWIW, I have found that wearing headphones or earphones greatly enhances my experience when listening to Angelina because the of the subtleties and nuances in her voice and her singing. I look forward to your next reaction in your Angelina journey.
It was aired January 6th, 4 days before her birthday, but it was pre-recorded in 2019, sometime in the fall, I think in the late fall... So there where a couple of months between recording and airing her performance
Us boomers know whats good.😂 but really, i remember seeing Ella Fitzgerald when i was young on the b&w tv. I wanted to see her live but too old, i was too young. Now i have a chance to hear great jazz standards at the Ella level. Check out her version of Everytime We Say Goodbye, in her rooftop version. Wait til you see at what age. Enjoy it all
Great reaction Zack 👍😊 This performance was when i re-discover Angelina , ( i voted on her when on NGT , Bang bang song ) then life happen 😪.And i forgot all about her , but i never looked back after this one, been 4 years now, and addicted now🥰 Is many amazing singers out there, that touches ur heart❤ , then an there. But with Angelina she not only grab ur❤ , she also fill ur soul in away i never experienced before ( well that's what i feel ). One gets addicted, need to have my AJ fix everyday now 😋😉hand on heart i never in my almost 60 experienced an singer , a female singer that does that to me 🥰 Only artist that i can compare with is Freddie Mercury , I seen Queen LIVE once, when they was in Norway (only time they been here ) 😋 Angelina is the best female singer on the planet right now PERIOD 🥰❤❤ Have a good one buddy, take care an stay safe, greetings from Norway 😊
Also remember that they are only given a certain amount of time to sing their song on these contests. And yes, she arranged this and was given permission to copyright it by the original group.

If you want to see Anelina's powerful side "It's A Mam's World" when she is 11 or 12. There are two versions both are great and live but on has a live video the other is live audio.
All I have to say is that the original never gave me shivers or brought me to tears. Add to the fact that Queen allowed her to copyright this version! Freddie would be proud
lol at 13 she did the arrangement herself. But as you’re learning, the barefoot princess does all her arrangements. Well, not only did you like it the members of Queen liked it so much that they reached out to her. Told her it was the best arrangement I’ve ever heard, and released the copyrights to her. So obviously that tells you something. The barefoot princess is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven.
@0:26 You called your Dad , 'Dude' . . . . . . ? ! Guess I might have to watch this review: Okay . First, I like your review . . . . stuttering and all as you try to put your mind together concerning the girl you just heard. But you summed it up well ! BUT . . . I ( me ) want you to enlarge the performer screen while the performer is performing ! ! ! ! ! ( Respect ) ! You may stay on the side at approx. 1/3 to 1/2 so WE can see your reaction as it progresses. But since I am a 'professional' having started with a Yashica Super 8 mm movie camera you should pay attention and listen to me ! ( I bought it at the 'Ship's Store' once the ship was 'Underway' for $72.00 which gave a 50% price cut ! ! ! I was stoked ! ) Anyway . . . . I enjoy your straight forward insightful review of the talent you just witnessed. Want to see more. take care, rh
Hard to find reactors who are educated, sensitive, & articulate; and actively reacting to Angelina. So glad you are here, and I’m looking forward to more; hopefully for a long time to come.

She has arranged everything she sings since age 6
Heidi gave her the golden buzzer and they are still friends today.
Angelina recently appeared in a German fashion show, presented by Heidi Klum , in Germany. She said: «Angelina you know you have a very special place in my heart.»
Queen was so impressed that they gave her the copyright to her version ❤
What? Source?
@@BuckarooBanzai333 Sir Dr.Brian May guitarist and founder of Queen said WOW on Instagram and then gave Angelina the copyrights to her version.
Her version was also received so well in the music community at-large, that I have seen a number of bands and solo singers cover her version.
Queen, in allowing her to copyright this version, was following through on Freddy's quote that "if you are going to cover us, at least make it interesting". Boy howdy, did she succeed in that task!!

She emotionally moved you quite a bit, didn't she? Welcome to the club! A lot of the comments will be lengthy but I'll keep mine very short. No one like her. NO ONE!
There is an interview where Uncle Michael says he refused to sign a contract that would make Angelina sign with Simon's label if she won...
A good teenage song to react to of hers, with intense emotion would be "A Million Years"
Zack, your dad is a very wise man. He obviously has excellent taste and he knows extraordinary talent when he sees and hears it.
I enjoyed your breakdown and I’m glad to see that you’re committed to continuing down the Angelina Jordan path.
IMO, listening to Angelina is a life changing experience.
The a capella start right on key is the most impressive part to me.
Thanks for the request Pops!

Wanna hear a belt? Gotta see “It’s a Man’s World” 13 at the time.
12.
She was actually only 12 🙂 Not even 12 and a half.
Great reaction, thank you!
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever heard ❤ Queen themselves shared this performance on their socials, saying Wow, what a rendition ❤ That is a huuuge compliment 👍
The most beautiful voice you'll ever hear !!!
Absolutely
Bohemian Rhapsody
The reaction by the public to Angelina Jordan’s rearranged version of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT in 2020, when she was 13, almost 14, was paramount to an earthquake being felt around the world, this video, and others of this performance have been viewed more that 150 million times. AJ's videos have been viewed over 4 billion times On Facebook, and over 1.8 billion times on UA-cam as of Feb 20, 2023 (This does not count Instagram, or TikTok. We don't just have a STAR in AJ, we have a SUPPER NOVA. Angelina Jordan is taking the universe by storm.) ©
have you ever heard anything so beautiful?
Thank you Zack , not only vocally is she amazing but musically she is also amazing , she is a true artist , the feeling and meaning of a song comes first for her even on this stage she will not show off or belt if she feels it doesn't enhance the song , she is mature way beyond her years, she is in this for life not for over night fame ,she is completely unique , to me she is a pioneer creating new potentials, there has never been an Angelina before that's for sure and never has an artist touched my heart like she does.

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 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. A world tour is in the works, likely to coincide with her full album release.
Here is a semi-chronological UA-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu
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 stated at 8 years old that she would be donating 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.
AJ recorded 4 songs in that original studio that I've seen. Three are a bit rough but I Who Have Nothing is surprisingly good. I believe it is actually the latest in the group but was recorded on the first take hence the first time comment. Have heard she was 6 at the time and it was an after school program. Reading and singing at that level in a foreign language is truly extraordinary even if she was the ripe old age of 7.

Beautiful reaction Zack. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic Queen's song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation and make such an intimate and emotional version at just 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. 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. 💛🧡❤
Thank you Zack....one of the best analysis of what this young lady did, great to see reactors like yourself that have an understanding of music...does not have to be belted out or filled with all kinds of vocal tricks, sometimes just the music will suffice. The remaining members of Queen upon seeing this posted it on their Official Twitter account with this "What a rendition" and gave her copyrights to her version, about highest of praise that will ever be needed. We have all heard this song 100's of times copying the original, you will never hear this version again. Cheers brother for another wonderful reaction....love this channel and have joined through Patreon. 🥰🥰
Throw your dad some love and give him a call. Thank him for watching your channel and gift he gave you in the form of a video he just sent your way.
Great Reaction Zack.
One of her songs on NGT was "Summertime". She did another performance of it a year or so later and it was even better.
Again, I will highly recommend "Feelin' Good". I think she was 10 at the time.
Father Knows Best.
The first 1000 times I watched this video it made the tears flow in admiration of her skills in touching one's soul, now I am able to just feel upliftment at the unique talent she has! A Million Miles studio version ( self penned tribute ) is beautiful. " Summertime from Norway's Got Talent is a true Gem. Love you have found AJ.
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'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Thanks.welcome to the rabbit hole
This entire show series was taped 6 months viewing of the auditions.Therefore she's thirteen and a half
Please react to Feeling Good with full orchestra and packed indoor audience at age 10! This is an incredible performance!💕
❤❤
Whitney Houstin’s hits brought to life by Angelina Jordan
Angelina Jordan, with her soul-stirring voice, has a remarkable ability to transform classic songs into fresh, emotive experiences. Her cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" showcases this talent beautifully. AJ released a recording of "I Wanna Run to You”, on TikTok April 14, 2024, and her interpretations of Houston's work resonate with the power and depth of emotion that the original songs carry. Jordan's performances often feel like a narrative, turning each song into a story that unfolds before the audience, brimming with love and passion. It's this storytelling through music that connects deeply with listeners, making each rendition feel like the greatest love story ever told. Her covers are not just tributes to the original artists, but a new chapter in the life of the songs themselves. ©
Great reaction. I realize you appear to be going chronologically into the Angelina rabbit hole, but I encourage you to step back to 10 years of age. "Feeling Good" really shows the transition taking place to the mature voice, as does the leaked demo "I'm Still Holding Out For You" . Then stepping forward again on the chronological path is an orginal. "Million Miles", a tribute to her grandfather who had passed away.
Then perhaps Adele's "Go Easy On Me"
These are some of my absolute favorites and some of her more famous performances, all for good reason.
But whatever you choose, enjoy the rabbit hole. 😁
PS. Thanks for not shredding the performances into confetti with a bazillion pauses and comments.
😇😇😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Forgot to mention that she sings Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on AGT too, i actually liked it more than this one.
She got the Golden Buzzer on Bohemian Rhapsody.
Thanks Zack ,great reaction ,great plan , yes ,any song any age will astound!!
🥰
😉 @Zac It wouldn't at all surprise me if your Pops was following Angelina reactions rather than your content specifically! 😁 Nice work 💫
This was AGT Champions, where they invited winners and top 5s to compete. She was 13 here.
Top 5s as well?? Not strictly winners? I didn't know that.
@@poolhallshark Like I've always said, it's not a competition. It is a show that looks like a contest and is presented as such, not with artists who have qualified for it, but with invited guests - some for very dubious reasons.
Participiants came from across the AGT and Got Talent franchise - including winners, finalists, semi-finalists, quarter-finalists, live round contestants (!) and other notable acts (!!!).
Of the 40 participants, only 12 were winners and of the 10 finalists, only Angelina (Norway), Marcelito (Phillippines) and the dog training girl (Germany) won in their country. Of the acts that "won" 1st - 3rd place in AGT The Champions 2, none were champions before.
so not really strictly winners ...
@@paulwagner9303 Thanks for the information, I can't really say that I was aware. So I guess "The Champions" is EVER so slightly misleading then... Hehe
@@poolhallshark Looks like there were a number of people feeling kind of cheated when they found out, so when this format was renewed after Covid they renamed it to "AGT All-Stars".
@@paulwagner9303 👍👍

Thanks for another great Angelina reaction, Zack! Cool that your dad suggested this one I think. Queen themselves pinned her performance on their social media, saying "WOW! What a rendition!"
Angelina also received the copyright to her arrangement; this was HER arrangement. This performance also earned Angelina the Golden Buzzer, propelling her directly to the semi finals. Her next (and last) was her performance of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Sir Elton John. I'd forgive you for doing that one as well, now that you're into her AGT run. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hi Zack. Congrats! You're doing a good job reacting to our jazz queen. May I suggest you react to the following covers as you intend to dig in more into Angelina's earlier performances? 1. Stay (Rihana), 2. A million years ago (Adele). 3. All of me (John Legend) 4. I'd rather go blind (Etta James) 5. California dreaming (Mamas & Papas). 6. You make me feel so young (F. Sinatra). 7. Someone like you (Adele). 8. Always on my mind (Elvis) 9. Born to die (Lana Del Rey). 10. Feeling Good (Iconic song covered by multiple singers). All the songs in this list were covered by AJ at the ages of 12 & 13 except for N° 10 which she covered at the age of 10.
You should check out I’d Rather Go Blind, Stay, I’m Feeling Good, Unchained Melody, and My Way.😊
Reactors call the jazz elements ornaments. As far as belting try Lovin' You or It's a Man's World . At eleven and 12.
If you want to hear Angelina belting, check out It's a Man's World from her concert with the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps, but put your seat belt on first! This AGT recording was done just four days before her 14th birthday (which was on 10th January), so yes, she was thirteen when she performed this. You might also like to watch her sing Yellow Brick Road on the same show. More fireworks!
fred Recorded October 2019. Broadcast Jan. 6/2020.
Hey Zack
I'm enjoying your reactions to Angelina. Shes my everything. She changes people from the inside out. I've been with her for almost seven years. I really hope you continue on this journey with our musical genius. 👍
Thx Zack!!
Try to react to one of her best. Few reactors have seen this, its called "I'm still holding out for you". Great song written by Baby Fuzz who asked 11 years old Angelina to make a demo to his song. Baby Fuzz has written for a numerious of artist f.ex. Maroon 5.
I believe the show was taped in the October-November 2019 time frame and first aired on January 6th, 2020. Angelina, a 13 year old in her element! She rearranged Queen’s iconic song and just kills it. Remaining members of Queen praised her rendition and allowed her to copyright it. Just think she starts out a cappella and slides in at perfect pitch, just an amazing young lady! Would highly recommend going back to her Norway’s Got Talent all four songs with closed captions on! Then look at her at 10 years old performing Feeling Good-in door version. Her 2022 studio versions of Suspicious Minds. AGT The Champions. She was invited because she had already won Norways Got Talent. Full Golden Buzzer Moment ua-cam.com/video/3QLhZ5N8-F4/v-deo.html When she was 12 years old, Quincy Jones invited Angelina to open his 85th Birthday Celebration at the O2 Arena in London, England ua-cam.com/video/uFtFHs2Dg5E/v-deo.html Fly Me To The Moon!
Angie was 13 but didn't win it was a different format that was kind of weird the way they voted.
She was easily the best but some people just don't know true talent when they hear and see it.
💜💜💜
Never heard that version before because that is Angelinas version
The woman standing with her hands to her mouth at the end is her grandmother Mery. The blond woman next to her is her mother Sara, the young girl next to her is her sister Juliette, and finally the guy next to Juliette is her uncle Mike. They are her shield.
👍
Mesmerizing.
Her tribute to hr late grandpa- always on my mind!! Just her and a gut with a guitar.. which is not just....
She was invited many times to appear on AGT.Her family made her wait.!❤
Well said. This arrangement goes really well with the lyrics.
Another great reaction. Queen was so impressed they gave her copyrights to het version
Thanks for another great Angelina reaction Zack. This was the first performance I ever heard from Angelina, which was on January 6th, 2020. I was so blown away that I immediately started listening to everything of hers that I could find, and I have literally listened to her every day since then. I noticed that you wore headphones for Angelina's performance of Back to Black, but not I Put a Spell on You or Bohemian Rhapsody. FWIW, I have found that wearing headphones or earphones greatly enhances my experience when listening to Angelina because the of the subtleties and nuances in her voice and her singing. I look forward to your next reaction in your Angelina journey.
It was aired January 6th, 4 days before her birthday, but it was pre-recorded in 2019, sometime in the fall, I think in the late fall... So there where a couple of months between recording and airing her performance
@@horstfabian7523 Yes, I think it was recorded in October, 2019.
🎼🎼🎼🎼 .. nice one , Dad !
Us boomers know whats good.😂 but really, i remember seeing Ella Fitzgerald when i was young on the b&w tv. I wanted to see her live but too old, i was too young. Now i have a chance to hear great jazz standards at the Ella level. Check out her version of Everytime We Say Goodbye, in her rooftop version. Wait til you see at what age. Enjoy it all
😀😀😀😀😀
Great reaction Zack 👍😊 This performance was when i re-discover Angelina , ( i voted on her when on NGT , Bang bang song ) then life happen 😪.And i forgot all about her , but i never looked back after this one, been 4 years now, and addicted now🥰 Is many amazing singers out there, that touches ur heart❤ , then an there. But with Angelina she not only grab ur❤ , she also fill ur soul in away i never experienced before ( well that's what i feel ). One gets addicted, need to have my AJ fix everyday now 😋😉hand on heart i never in my almost 60 experienced an singer , a female singer that does that to me 🥰 Only artist that i can compare with is Freddie Mercury , I seen Queen LIVE once, when they was in Norway (only time they been here ) 😋 Angelina is the best female singer on the planet right now PERIOD 🥰❤❤ Have a good one buddy, take care an stay safe, greetings from Norway 😊
Beautiful ❤
Isn’t it amazing she sang it age appropriate and with time restraints.
Also remember that they are only given a certain amount of time to sing their song on these contests. And yes, she arranged this and was given permission to copyright it by the original group.
Love your reactions.
I also mentioned this in the comments. One of her best.
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. ©
Angelina is the greatest singer I've ever heard imo. This was 4 days before Angelina turned 14.
Charles The broadcast date was 4 days before her birthday; but the recording of the performance was almost 3 months earlier in October/2019.
It was aired January 6th, 4 days before her birthday, but it was pre-recorded in 2019, sometime in the fall, I think in the late fall... So there where a couple of months between recording and airing her performance
If you want to see Anelina's powerful side "It's A Mam's World" when she is 11 or 12. There are two versions both are great and live but on has a live video the other is live audio.

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you
Thanks ❤❤❤
I love watching your reactions, especially to the amazing Angelina Jordan. You absolutely understand her and her talent. Thank you, Zack!
Ditto previous comment on your sensitivity and respect for this artist I’ll check out your other reactions too. Cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺
Still hope you will back track a little to her younger years
❤❤❤Love Angelina my Princess

hs Nope. Still has colored lenses. (If you find video of her natural eye colour, you'll see that they're a dark brown and the pupil is indiscernible.)
👏👍🫶♥️
All I have to say is that the original never gave me shivers or brought me to tears.
Add to the fact that Queen allowed her to copyright this version!
Freddie would be proud
lol at 13 she did the arrangement herself. But as you’re learning, the barefoot princess does all her arrangements. Well, not only did you like it the members of Queen liked it so much that they reached out to her. Told her it was the best arrangement I’ve ever heard, and released the copyrights to her. So obviously that tells you something. The barefoot princess is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven.
Thanks sacks dad
Have you found out what her last name is yet? ....."ASTAR"
@0:26 You called your Dad , 'Dude' . . . . . . ? ! Guess I might have to watch this review:
Okay . First, I like your review . . . . stuttering and all as you try to put your mind together concerning the girl you just heard. But you summed it up well ! BUT . . . I ( me ) want you to enlarge the performer screen while the performer is performing ! ! ! ! ! ( Respect ) ! You may stay on the side at approx. 1/3 to 1/2 so WE can see your reaction as it progresses. But since I am a 'professional' having started with a Yashica Super 8 mm movie camera you should pay attention and listen to me ! ( I bought it at the 'Ship's Store' once the ship was 'Underway' for $72.00 which gave a 50% price cut ! ! ! I was stoked ! ) Anyway . . . .
I enjoy your straight forward insightful review of the talent you just witnessed. Want to see more.
take care, rh
❤❤
