she is 13 at this performance; Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced.
she won Norway got talent at age 8, here she is 13, she has about 150 songs out on youtube, covers and originals. have fun she is amazing has covered about 80 different artist started out with jazz and just keeps getting better. she just turned 16 this past Jan
Nothing frightens her and you have to see the pleasure she has in singing in front of an audience. At 7 years old, one of the jury members of Norway got talent said that Angelina was "The music" during her interpretation of "Gloomy sunday" at the level of Billie Holiday. Quincy Jones invited her to open for his anniversary concert in London in 2018. Norah Jones congratulated her at a joint concert in asia. She has a superb voice but also great originality in her arrangements.
Angelina got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen for her own version of Bohemian Rhapsody during her audition at AGT. Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗
Congrats! You stumbled upon the greatest female jazz singer of our time! Maybe you are interested in another Queen cover by Angelina Jordan. She performed "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the "Amerika 's Got Talent The Champions 2" show in 2020 and it was an outstanding performance!
Nice choice of songs Jaqueline. One of my favorites from Angelina whom I have been following for several years now since she won Norway Got Talent at 8 years old, competing against many adults. Have seen your reactions with Pentatonix, my second favorite music group, Angelina being number 1, and always enjoyed your reactions and comments. This young lady who is now 16 and with Republic Records, though not promoted yet as her parents wish her to finish school first, will undoubtedly shake up the mundane boring current music that is out there IMHO. Hoping you shall do more with Angelina...will be waiting.
I envy you because you have come across the greatest singer of the last decades and you have 150 covers plus 6 originals plus 2-3 songs written for her to be discovered and enjoyed.
Queen have said it isa fabulous rendition of this song the guys really great and even gave her the right to use her rights t o keep her rendition of her feeling the song.
You mentioned the deep connection to the meaning of the song. That's why she started with the colorful mask. She is well known for her storytelling and always delivers the emotions so well, that your eyes gets wet. Many fans are on the way of seeking how she is able to do this directly to your heart ❤️💓🌹 Thanks for your interesting reaction and I hope you do more of her. Her latest interpretation of my funny Valentine is a new masterpiece 💥🙋🙏💝
Angelina's voice is like a river of dark chocolate, sometimes wild and crashing over rocks in impressive cascades, sometimes flowing, twisting and twirling, and sometimes slowly and drowsly moving through the backwaters, but always deliciously tasty. She always sing like she feel and really mean the lyrics. As for suggestions, maybe her cover of Billie Jean. It was the first time I really listened to the text (English is not my native language, so that might be part of the reason).
Angelina Jordan has a fantastic voice sing any kind of song rock Road jazz slow fast walls you name it she can see it she has a child prodigy regardless of age she’s a great singer
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (140+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! Angelina is brave. She goes after the "bigs" again and again. No iconic artist is too much, no classic song is safe. No one is safe from Angelina, and we all benefit! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
Jacqueline, thanks for this wonderful and careful first reaction at this Angelina's relaxed performance at only 13 years old. She is a very particular if not unique artist, she has a musical background that will amaze you. All her arrangements of her over 150 covers (and which covers!) And her beautiful original songs and other created for her, from the age of 6 she has the ability to absorb and reconstruct all kinds of songs and genres she likes and is also a fantastic jazz singer. Her incredible talent and musical sensitivity, her independence of judgment and vocal autonomy are all fantastic qualities of her, which make the results even more surreal, regardless of her age. 💛 🧡 ❤️ Speaking of Queen, you can't imagine what this little girl was able to achieve with Bohemian Rhapsody, you absolutely have to listen to her!
So cool that you just found her. You are in for the journey now. She will aboslutely blow your mind. Just subscribed so I can watch your journey through he music. You will not be disappointed by our Barefoot Princess!
hi there - like other comments say Angelinas family is very protective and as i concur want to let her have a quite normal childhood and education - since she won norways got Talent many companies have had showing up with big money boxes and where all turned down including Disney - with Crowdfunding she could released her first CD "Its Magic" i belive in 2014 - After Agt in 2020 she signed with Republic records as their highest priority Artist with complete Control over her Art but until she graduates school no Promotion - she has released 2 Originals since then "Million Miles" and "Seventh Heaven". Be sure After graduation she will high rocketing and conquer the Industrie - greetings from Germany
Jacqueline, welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan! Apparently you've received loads of info already from her followers (her 'angels') so you had an idea of how special she must be. She knocked this out of the ballpark, didn't she? Check out the playlists you will receive and pick and choose what you want to hear next. She just turned 16 (in January) and has been singing to an audience since she was 7 years old. Must have sounded good as a kid singer, right? Wrong. She entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old and her audition was a Billie Holiday song and, this might be hard to believe, but she sounded like Billie Holiday! Jacqueline, most of our comments will resemble short stories rather than one liners because we have a lot to say about our princess. And, not to worry about negative comments. All of our comments are sent to you touched by the love she has put into our hearts. I'll end my comment by telling you, dear Jacqueline, you will find out as wonderful she is as a one-of-a-kind singer/artist she is equally as wonderful and beautiful as a human being. For a beginner, you will find out why she sings barefoot in public. Enjoy her. And, "Welcome aboard!"
I agree. Since you listened to Cakra Khan's version, try Angelina's. It was recorded from the audience on a phone, so the recording quality is not great, but I compare it to a unicorn sighting. You're "lost in the wilderness" when you see a unicorn. So you get some video, but no one believes it because unicorns don't exist. Except they do, and Angelina is one.
If anyone was born to sing this girl was from her flawless performances from age 7 to her present age of 16 she has been an artist for her entire time welcome to Angelina and her angels a great bunch of people.
Very enjoyable reaction!! 👍🏻🎶. She's fearless, because she KNOWS what her voice can produce with her at the controls .. Powerhouse performance, the age 13 yrs old, doesn't hinder her passion.. or the freedom to "let go, and live in the moment" 🎤🎤🎶🎶🙌🏻🙌🏻 🤗🔥🔥🔥
Angelina lets the song sing and she doesn't sing the song. That's the top for a singer, a level above, highest, and there are not many who have this talent. Bravo Angelina, I love you very much, and by your voice, you do a lot of good, you can bring peace and joy. Bye xxx from Quebec Canada.
She loves that mic. She's a master of technique, but it's her soul that shines. She gets right to the heart of a song. This song is about Freddie's impending and unacknowledged death from AIDS. I agree; I love the her timbre. Her cover of Queen's Bohemian is iconic.
I just saw her cover of 'I Put A Spell On You' the other day. (original by Jalacy Hawkins, most known version by Nina Simone) She did the song justice. She was 9 when that was recorded. I think she is about 16 now.
thanks for this great react of Angelina,and finally you discovered her, sings often covers better than the original artist,and her mission in future is to sing for the hole world, a star is born,please continue react of her, many great shocking covers,like a put a spell on you..but warning in a good way..if you listen to that cover from her,9years old,black and white version...then fasten your seatbelts..that good.
That ending always gets me 🔥❤ I will be looking forward to you checking out Angelinas cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT ❤ That was the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen on a talent show before ❤ And also all her Adele covers are so incredible ❤👍
Hi Jacqueline! Thank you so much for your heartfelt reaction and your amazing positivity and wisdom. You gave great advice we all need to pay attention to and remember. Kindness and encouragement go a long way in these troubled times. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. She has over 150 covers and originals to react to. Each cover shows the amazing ability of Angelina to make the song her own, while paying incredible respect to the original artist. And her originals - well, many will likely make you cry. She's so talented, and has such a humble, beautiful soul. Please keep reacting to her - her fans (her Angels) will give you lots of suggestions and background. There's no wrong choice of what to react to next. Peace and positivity back to you! 😃
Thank you Jacqueline for posting our barefoot princess !She is only 13 in this video ! Angelina is a fearless, sincere, loving and compassionate person ! She has been singing since the age of two ! Angelina has a strong jazz influenced background ! Won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old singing songs like "Gloomy Sunday " "I'm a fool to Want you " and "Summertime " that were out of this world to hear !

👋 hi . Angelina has been singing since 1 1/2 years old and listening to grandmas records,she went to school in Oslo where she attend music classes at age 6, there is video of her in the studio booth singing Tom Jones “I who have nothing “ unbelievable. She then went on Norway Got Talent at age 7 winning the competition for her performances of Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday , I’m a fool to want you “ , Ella Fitzgeralds “Summer Time, and Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang . Since then she has posted over 130 video covers and originals , in different genres. She is amazing, she is now 16 years old. I thank you so much, looking forward to seeing another reaction video with Angelina , I’m here for it .
I really enjoyed your reaction and especially your closing remarks. You have a wonderful attitude toward life and I find you inspirational. Angelina is also inspirational for reasons that you will discover if you read the biography below. Angelina has an original song she did when she was 15 called 7th Heaven. It is about never giving up on your dreams and is in line with your thoughts on the subject! Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. 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 winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly 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 over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals. m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? When she was 6 years old, she was 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 shoes and promised she would never again wear shoes while performing until all children of the world had shoes! 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 is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina penetrates 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 would not want to escape. Peace.
Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her. Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong. Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down. Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan. Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions. At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities. Angelina Jordan has about 160 songs in her repertoire. In 2020 she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 16 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come. Thank you for reading and Keep up the good work.
Nice reaction. Would have been cool to see queen doing a concert with her. She may be one of the few that have the versatility required. Just bough a concert ticket, I'm be so eager to see her live for the the first time this summer. Just pick any song you like from her 160+ performances on YT. Whatever she sang, the results always were great and a pure joy to watch. She's crazy good, even down to age 7 when everything began.
She was 13 here. You need to see her in BEAST mode next. I Put a Spell on You, black and white version, at 9 years old. She does her on arrangements and you will be Mind Blown.
Hi Jacqueline. Great reaction. You are really good at this. And such wonderful advice you gave in this video. This song is not in the top 10 of songs being played from Angelina's catalog. It might not be in the top 50 - I just know that it is rarely reviewed. I hope that you enjoy her music enough to routinely react to her nearly 170 song catalog. While she did attend an after-school music class, she has always maintained that she taught herself to sing. I think that Angelina is as proof that a reasonable person needs to say that we don't come into this world as a blank slate. I think you will find that she very much deserves the the compliment of being a prodigy and a genius. And yes, she either arranges all of her songs or, at the very least, collaborates on them.
Interesting choice as an introduction to Angelina Jordan. Many people, including myself, got their first view of Angelina on America's Got Talent (AGT) - Champions, broadcast January 2020. She was 13 years old at the time her audition was recorded. Knocked me out of my chair. Suggesting that for your next Angelina reaction. Angelina's roots are jazz. She is a child prodigy and already showed professional level jazz abilities as early as age 7. Her AGT audition was her own arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Make sure you tighten your seatbelt before you begin reacting to it. Absolute masterpiece. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
Angelina is 13 She can sing any song by any artist very hard song wonderful voice motional she’s an artist who paints the picture with her voice master artist
Hi Jacqueline. It was wonderful and very meaningful to hear your reaction and thoughts about what it takes to put yourself out there. I think Angelina inspired your words. Since 7 years old, she has continuously perfected her craft and delighted her growing audience taking on all the greats such as Etta James, Sinatra, Ella, Adele, Patsy Kline, Roberta Flack, etc, etc. It is great to hear your impressions which coincide with many other singing professionals regarding her talent, tone, maturity, and soulful interpretation along with her innate musicality that portends a very promising future. For me, she delights my heart with her talent and also her remarkable character, hard work, and focus. She seems fearless and can master difficult songs rapidly with originality and near perfection. Thanks so much for reacting to Angelina and we all look forward to your comments as she progresses in her craft and grows into her full potential. Her recent works such as My Funny Valentine, All I ask, Go Easy on Me, House of the Rising Sun, Billie Jean, Sign of the Times, among others are really remarkable. When she was young, you might want to check out her renditions of Bohemian Rhapsody, Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, At Last, Feeling Good, Every time You Say Goodbye, I Put a Spell on You, Crazy, The First Time Ever I Say Your Face, What a Difference a Day Makes, Loving You , Its a Man's World, I'D Rather Go Blind, La Boheme, and so many other covers. She has also written and performed 4 originals, including Oslo, Million Miles. Seventh Heaven, and What is Life, which also bear your attention. Thanks again.
I'm glad your reacting to more and more Angelina Jorden covers and originals ,,you have a long way to go since there is around 150 of them,, also fun fact the art on the wall behind her is her grandma's originals, if the remember the pantsuit she was wearing on AGT 2020 bohemian raposidy is also one of her grandma's original paintings that was printed onto material and made into the outfit,, Angelina has these on her website forsale also,,
Angelina never appears nervous when performing, whether on camera before an audience of one (the viewer) or on stage before thousands, with just a backing track or backed by a national orchestra, from the age of 7 to the present (just turned 16). She has covered many of the greats from jazz, blues, soul, pop, rock, and country (140+ are available for viewing) and has several original performances. She speaks at least 3 languages. She has helped raise millions of dollars for charities around the world, mostly aimed at children, performed at the Nobel Prize ceremonies and for heads of State, won Norway's Got Talent and landed a deal with Republic Records that gives her an extraordinary amount of control over her creativity (She has always arranged her own music). Oh, and she is a published author. There are a handful of people whose list of achievements boggle the mind. Angelina is right near the top of that list.
Wonderful reaction - thank you. Angelina is as nice a person as she is a great singer. Very inspirational young lady who is doing it the right way. Try out her recent cover of My Funny Valentine released last month on her Instagram. She is now 16 years old.
When you experience AJ’s versatility there is only one conclusion that can be made, she is the GREATEST of all time there is no one else to compare her to.
Starting with this performance is interesting, maybe it's the destiny of a performer! Jacqueline, you look special too. Angelina is a precocious, brilliant artist who inspires a wide range of great impressions! She is passionate! You embody Angelina in your life as a need to maintain a bright light of talent that comforts and welcomes. In these difficult times, long live the talent!
Fantastic reaction and Welcome to Angelina Jordan's World, full of Pure Love. She is in my opinion the Greatest there ever was, for she can stand tall with Legends and Icons while being so young. She has over 135 covers all rearranged by her beginning at age 6, yes I said 6! She has 5 originals and I believe is Master of Covers like no one before, she makes them all her own. She has done "My Funny Valentine", 3 times, age 9, age 10 and just this past Valentine"s Day at age 16. Should react to them in progression, even though so amazing at 9, you still see the massive growth, mind blowing, God Bless!
... and she is not even a rocker, but more a jazzer. Anyway, she is called "girl with 1000 voices" This song here was a tribute, but when she did "Bohemian Rapsody" for America's Got Talent Champions she made it her own in such a good way, that Queen themselves linked it to their twitter account. As a rocker I would recommend "I Put A Spell On You", black&white studio version and in soul, "Man World" live with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps. If you also like Jazz, she started at 6 years old. On the account of Rusty Shackleford you can find playlists with every song, she somehow released. She won Norway's Got Talent in the age of 7/8...
my analysis after 8 years,,,,,,,,first teenager whos fan base are not teenager ( they are mostly clueless) but adults ,,,,,musicians,,,,and humans with a lot of empathy,,,,,,,,,,,,princess of jazz we never had before,,,,an angel who heals with human voice,,,,,,,,,,,,she is once in a life time musical experince,,,,,,,,,
Thank you, Jacqueline, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as a professional, you do it extremely well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Hi JVB, love your reaction to 13 yo Angie. (Her audible tension was off the charts.) I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Why does Angie performs barefoot. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html) Angie has arranged over 150 covers & written 5 songs & had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices with a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combind with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =)
Angelina is fearless, she covers nothing but the best artists of all time. This rock cover was a deviation from her characteristic vocal style of jazz. She is 13 in this performance and she has improved enormously now that she is 16. Her latest cover of "My Funny Valentine," demonstrates that her skills are starting to eclipse many of the great singers who have been her influences. In this song she plays around with the texture in her voice in a way I don't have words to describe; it simply must be heard.
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
Excellent reaction! Your comments near the end of your reaction about "keep evolving" are more "on Point" in reference to Angelina Jordan than you could know, but I am Sure you will find that AJ is almost Supernaturally Versatile...Some call her the"Girl with 1,000 voices" because NO Genre or Style of music seems to be beyond her ability. I am also a Big Fan of Queen, ever since I first heard "Killer Queen" back in 1974, and All my life I have been immersed in Music of all kinds. I worked in Record Stores for over 20 years, and I tell you that I have Never been so Completely blown away by ANY singer the way I have been by Angelina Jordan. I Agree with other comments that Bohemian Rhapsody or I Put A Spell On You would be great second stops on "the Journey", but Don't neglect to go back to the Beginning when she WON Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old(!) with a Master Level performance of "Summertime"!
Such a great reaction !! Love, that you truly get Angelina and what she is all about, like so many of her loyal followers do! Can't wait for your next reaction to this amazing singer!
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction & analysis of Angelina's masterful performance. Highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) at ages 7-8 - &/or to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to check out her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Always love to see a reactor "discovering" Angelina. She is the most phenomenal talent I have ever heard in my life. She has recorded well over 160 songs between UA-cam, Instagram and TicToc. Starting from when she was about 6 years old. Hope to see many many more reactions to her music with you.
My favorite adult female vocalist is SHARON DEN ADEL, from Withib Temptation but ANGELINA JORDAN (AJA) is favorite. New artist and closing g in fast !!@!
You know what I love about Angelina? When she sings she puts her whole soul into the song and it shows in her face and eyes and then when I watch you guys watching her as she sings she pulls your soul out as well as she does mine. That is a gift.
I'm glad you commented on her incredible breathe control. She astounds me over and over with that. Since this is a Queen song, and you are a Queen fan, I recommend that you react to her performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html when she was also 13. It was her performance on AGT the Champions 2, and it now has about 100M views on several YT sites. I gave you the link to the site that includes her getting the golden buzzer at the end. Simply put, it is the most unique and fantastic performance of this iconic song since the original. I've probably seen it over 200 times, and it blows me away every time. I loved your reaction and I am now a subscriber, and I'm looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Also, if you continue to react to Angelina, her fans are very loyal and supportive of sites that cover her. They will reward you by subscribing and supporting your site. 😊😊
Interesting choice of song for your first reaction by the current Queen of Jazz, although Angelina Jordan has sung in at least 9 genres. Angelina as talented as she is, is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography 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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish. 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. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. 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, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. By age 14, Angelina had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, 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 a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Awesome reaction!...as you will see in other comments this is not the norm for first impressions of Angelina but I am so happy to see someone with such appreciation watch this! I love everything this amazing artist does...welcome to the rabbit hole and I dig your positivity...I subbed❤️
You just found the Queen of Music! and a brand new bestie that you soon wont live without. She has had that control since six and has perfected it each day she breathes.
Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣👸🏻🎷 If you liked that check out her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody! ua-cam.com/video/D7SE6c1Htds/v-deo.html ♥👣👸🏻🎷 She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. ♥👣 She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. ua-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/v-deo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you will soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! ! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! ua-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/v-deo.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. ua-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/v-deo.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! ua-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/v-deo.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old! 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.

Hei igjen! It's been a minute ! Haven't watched you since you stopped reacting to Aurora tbh :-) But Angelina is my girl for sure. Also Norwegian, like Aurora and me :-) I've been following her closely since she won Norway's Got Talent at 8 (her auditions were made when she was 7, but she had just turned 8 at the final) and I have never looked back. Angelina is definitely one of the greatest female singers today, and I'm sure she will be considered the G.O.A.T. before she's finished. There are SO many different ways to discover her, either go and watch her very early stuff to understand where it all started, or go ahead and see what she sounds like as of right now, then go to the beginning. ONE staple that you REALLY need to get clocked in is her rendition of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" when she was 9 years 2 months old. She also did the arrangement for that performance, and have done all of her arrangements after that. She has roughly 160 covers out, and she's made ALL of them her own, often times better than the original. That is a very common comment we hear about her, and I totally agree. In addition, she has 5 originals and also two songs that were specifically written for her. At 14, Angelina was signed by Republic Records, and so far they have respected her family's wish to protect her and not push her as an artist until she's finished High School, only a few months away. Angelina turned 16 on January 10th. Angelina currently stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall and is by no means a small girl anymore :-) I'll give you the link to "I Put A Spell On You" here, and I will also give you a great suggestion. Link : ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html And now the great suggestion (several reactors have done this already, and they have all been TOTALLY blown away) : - On Valentine's Day, at age 10, Angelina dropped a rendition of "My Funny Valentine", the 1937 jazz standard that has been covered and included in 1300+ albums through the years, and that performance was absolutely beautiful! But here's the thing : If you want to listen to what Angelina sounds like as of RIGHT NOW, she dropped a new rendition of that song on Valentine's Day 18 days ago. And just let me tell you right now. You are not going to be prepared for that insanely incredible beautiful performance. Listen to it and understand why I constantly keep referring to Angelina as the future G.O.A.T. of the industry. The two performances are down to the date 6 years apart, and serve as a perfect example of her unbelievable development as a vocalist. I'll give you the link to both of them now. Angelina, 10 years old : ua-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/v-deo.html Angelina, 16 years old : ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html (Bonus - Here you also get to see how incredibly beautiful she has become. She's got it all.) Consider showing her the respect of doing a double ?? You won't regret it, I promise. And finally. Just a few days after Adele released her new album, Angelina covered her "Easy On Me". That one also shows you perfectly how utterly beautiful voice Angelina has, and her incredible techniques and abilities to emote songs. Personally I prefer Angelina's cover over Adele's original. Give it a try and see what you think. Link : ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.html I could have kept rambling on for an hour and more, but this will have to do for now. I really hope to see you react some more to Angelina soon. Take care, Jacqueline, and have a great weekend ! Love from Norway :-)
She has done so many masterpieces with covers , but also some real gems written by her, Shield and Millions miles to mention just two! Great to have you on the AJ train.
![Angelina Jorden [ I'm a Fool For You, Bang Bang & Summertime] | Artist Reaction & Analysis](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ajiGPiwptSU/mqdefault.jpg)
she is 13 at this performance; Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced.
she won Norway got talent at age 8, here she is 13, she has about 150 songs out on youtube, covers and originals. have fun she is amazing has covered about 80 different artist started out with jazz and just keeps getting better. she just turned 16 this past Jan
Nothing frightens her and you have to see the pleasure she has in singing in front of an audience. At 7 years old, one of the jury members of Norway got talent said that Angelina was "The music" during her interpretation of "Gloomy sunday" at the level of Billie Holiday.
Quincy Jones invited her to open for his anniversary concert in London in 2018.
Norah Jones congratulated her at a joint concert in asia.
She has a superb voice but also great originality in her arrangements.
Angelina got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen for her own version of Bohemian Rhapsody during her audition at AGT. Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗
you said you like the fact she's feeling the song: I like that you were also feeling it. Good reaction.
Congrats! You stumbled upon the greatest female jazz singer of our time! Maybe you are interested in another Queen cover by Angelina Jordan. She performed "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the "Amerika 's Got Talent The Champions 2" show in 2020 and it was an outstanding performance!
The greatest talent on the planet. 150+ covers to see, and her originals are amazing. No one like her. Enjoy the ride
Nice choice of songs Jaqueline. One of my favorites from Angelina whom I have been following for several years now since she won Norway Got Talent at 8 years old, competing against many adults. Have seen your reactions with Pentatonix, my second favorite music group, Angelina being number 1, and always enjoyed your reactions and comments. This young lady who is now 16 and with Republic Records, though not promoted yet as her parents wish her to finish school first, will undoubtedly shake up the mundane boring current music that is out there IMHO. Hoping you shall do more with Angelina...will be waiting.
I envy you because you have come across the greatest singer of the last decades and you have 150 covers plus 6 originals plus 2-3 songs written for her to be discovered and enjoyed.
'Queen' have acknowledged her, following her performance/arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Queen have said it isa fabulous rendition of this song the guys really great and even gave her the right to use her rights t o keep her rendition of her feeling the song.
Once in a generation talent.
Welcome to Angelinas world.
You mentioned the deep connection to the meaning of the song. That's why she started with the colorful mask. She is well known for her storytelling and always delivers the emotions so well, that your eyes gets wet. Many fans are on the way of seeking how she is able to do this directly to your heart ❤️💓🌹
Thanks for your interesting reaction and I hope you do more of her. Her latest interpretation of my funny Valentine is a new masterpiece 💥🙋🙏💝
Angelina's voice is like a river of dark chocolate, sometimes wild and crashing over rocks in impressive cascades, sometimes flowing, twisting and twirling, and sometimes slowly and drowsly moving through the backwaters, but always deliciously tasty. She always sing like she feel and really mean the lyrics. As for suggestions, maybe her cover of Billie Jean. It was the first time I really listened to the text (English is not my native language, so that might be part of the reason).
Angelina Jordan has a fantastic voice sing any kind of song rock Road jazz slow fast walls you name it she can see it she has a child prodigy regardless of age she’s a great singer
Thanks for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world.❤❤❤
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (140+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! Angelina is brave. She goes after the "bigs" again and again. No iconic artist is too much, no classic song is safe. No one is safe from Angelina, and we all benefit!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
Hear, hear.
What you said++++
Jacqueline, thanks for this wonderful and careful first reaction at this Angelina's relaxed performance at only 13 years old. She is a very particular if not unique artist, she has a musical background that will amaze you. All her arrangements of her over 150 covers (and which covers!) And her beautiful original songs and other created for her, from the age of 6 she has the ability to absorb and reconstruct all kinds of songs and genres she likes and is also a fantastic jazz singer. Her incredible talent and musical sensitivity, her independence of judgment and vocal autonomy are all fantastic qualities of her, which make the results even more surreal, regardless of her age. 💛 🧡 ❤️
Speaking of Queen, you can't imagine what this little girl was able to achieve with Bohemian Rhapsody, you absolutely have to listen to her!
JVB, enjoy the ride! This amazing rendition will not even get into my top10 Angelina tracks...
BR🇧🇻
:-)) Welcome and thanks fore your reaction. have fun. :-))
So cool that you just found her. You are in for the journey now. She will aboslutely blow your mind. Just subscribed so I can watch your journey through he music. You will not be disappointed by our Barefoot Princess!
hi there - like other comments say Angelinas family is very protective and as i concur want to let her have a quite normal childhood and education - since she won norways got Talent many companies have had showing up with big money boxes and where all turned down including Disney - with Crowdfunding she could released her first CD "Its Magic" i belive in 2014 - After Agt in 2020 she signed with Republic records as their highest priority Artist with complete Control over her Art but until she graduates school no Promotion - she has released 2 Originals since then "Million Miles" and "Seventh Heaven". Be sure After graduation she will high rocketing and conquer the Industrie - greetings from Germany
That's our 13 year old Barefoot Princess of Jazz!
Jacqueline, welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan! Apparently you've received loads of info already from her followers (her 'angels') so you had an idea of how special she must be.
She knocked this out of the ballpark, didn't she? Check out the playlists you will receive and pick and choose what you want to hear next. She just turned 16 (in January) and has been singing to an audience since she was 7 years old. Must have sounded good as a kid singer, right? Wrong. She entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old and her audition was a Billie Holiday song and, this might be hard to believe, but she sounded like Billie Holiday!
Jacqueline, most of our comments will resemble short stories rather than one liners because we have a lot to say about our princess. And, not to worry about negative comments. All of our comments are sent to you touched by the love she has put into our hearts.
I'll end my comment by telling you, dear Jacqueline, you will find out as wonderful she is as a one-of-a-kind singer/artist she is equally as wonderful and beautiful as a human being. For a beginner, you will find out why she sings barefoot in public. Enjoy her. And, "Welcome aboard!"
"It's a Man's World - Angelina Jordan and Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018" is a great song.
I agree. Since you listened to Cakra Khan's version, try Angelina's. It was recorded from the audience on a phone, so the recording quality is not great, but I compare it to a unicorn sighting. You're "lost in the wilderness" when you see a unicorn. So you get some video, but no one believes it because unicorns don't exist. Except they do, and Angelina is one.
Agreed ! this is the link ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html
If you have Angelina, you got my sub the girl is just the best ever really
I loved the last comments. wonderful to hear....
If anyone was born to sing this girl was from her flawless performances from age 7 to her present age of 16 she has been an artist for her entire time welcome to Angelina and her angels a great bunch of people.
Really great reaction, she really is so amazing. I look forward to more reactions of Angelina. ♥️
Very enjoyable reaction!! 👍🏻🎶. She's fearless, because she KNOWS what her voice can produce with her at the controls .. Powerhouse performance, the age 13 yrs old, doesn't hinder her passion.. or the freedom to "let go, and live in the moment" 🎤🎤🎶🎶🙌🏻🙌🏻 🤗🔥🔥🔥
Angelina lets the song sing and she doesn't sing the song. That's the top for a singer, a level above, highest, and there are not many who have this talent. Bravo Angelina, I love you very much, and by your voice, you do a lot of good, you can bring peace and joy. Bye xxx from Quebec Canada.
She loves that mic. She's a master of technique, but it's her soul that shines. She gets right to the heart of a song. This song is about Freddie's impending and unacknowledged death from AIDS. I agree; I love the her timbre. Her cover of Queen's Bohemian is iconic.
I just saw her cover of 'I Put A Spell On You' the other day. (original by Jalacy Hawkins, most known version by Nina Simone) She did the song justice.
She was 9 when that was recorded. I think she is about 16 now.
Yes, her birthday is Jan 10th, sweet 16.
thanks for this great react of Angelina,and finally you discovered her, sings often covers better than the original artist,and her mission in future is to sing for the hole world, a star is born,please continue react of her, many great shocking covers,like a put a spell on you..but warning in a good way..if you listen to that cover from her,9years old,black and white version...then fasten your seatbelts..that good.
amazing singer . every once in awhile one comes around and she is here . enjoy.
Angelina l think Freddie would have loved her l think Fabulous.Angelina never disappoints keeps sane.Frances from Scotland.xx
That ending always gets me 🔥❤ I will be looking forward to you checking out Angelinas cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT ❤ That was the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen on a talent show before ❤ And also all her Adele covers are so incredible ❤👍
Hi Jacqueline! Thank you so much for your heartfelt reaction and your amazing positivity and wisdom. You gave great advice we all need to pay attention to and remember. Kindness and encouragement go a long way in these troubled times. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. She has over 150 covers and originals to react to. Each cover shows the amazing ability of Angelina to make the song her own, while paying incredible respect to the original artist. And her originals - well, many will likely make you cry. She's so talented, and has such a humble, beautiful soul. Please keep reacting to her - her fans (her Angels) will give you lots of suggestions and background. There's no wrong choice of what to react to next. Peace and positivity back to you! 😃
Thank you Jacqueline for posting our barefoot princess !She is only 13 in this video ! Angelina is a fearless, sincere, loving and compassionate person ! She has been singing since the age of two !

Won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old singing songs like "Gloomy Sunday " "I'm a fool to Want you " and "Summertime " that were out of this world to hear ! Her rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody " on America's Got Talent in 2020 was a masterpiece ! She arranged this original take on this classic song that was mind-blowing for a 13 year girl ! I would suggest you react to her rendition of Screamin Jay Hawkins " I Put a Spell on You " black and white studio edition when she was only 9 years old ! This will give you the chills to see her take on this song ! This song has brought her huge attention from vocal coaches around the world ! I know you enjoy and be amazed at her singing !

👋 hi . Angelina has been singing since 1 1/2 years old and listening to grandmas records,she went to school in Oslo where she attend music classes at age 6, there is video of her in the studio booth singing Tom Jones “I who have nothing “ unbelievable. She then went on Norway Got Talent at age 7 winning the competition for her performances of Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday , I’m a fool to want you “ , Ella Fitzgeralds “Summer Time, and Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang . Since then she has posted over 130 video covers and originals , in different genres. She is amazing, she is now 16 years old. I thank you so much, looking forward to seeing another reaction video with Angelina , I’m here for it .
I really enjoyed your reaction and especially your closing remarks. You have a wonderful attitude toward life and I find you inspirational. Angelina is also inspirational for reasons that you will discover if you read the biography below. Angelina has an original song she did when she was 15 called 7th Heaven. It is about never giving up on your dreams and is in line with your thoughts on the subject!
Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. 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 winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly 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 over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was 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 shoes and promised she would never again wear shoes while performing until all children of the world had shoes! 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 is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates 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 would not want to escape. Peace.
Angelina jordan is a musical genius.
Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan.
Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her.
Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong.
Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.
After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down.
Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan.
Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions.
At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities.
Angelina Jordan has about 160 songs in her repertoire. In 2020 she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 16 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come.
Thank you for reading and Keep up the good work.
Beautiful thanks for the love
Thank you for your reaction! She’s so magical! Her voice is beyond beautiful! You are drawn into her story telling!🌟❤️
JUST SUBSCRIBED Bohemian Rhapsody t 13 on AGT. I Put A Spell On You, black and white version at 9.
Nice reaction. Would have been cool to see queen doing a concert with her. She may be one of the few that have the versatility required. Just bough a concert ticket, I'm be so eager to see her live for the the first time this summer.
Just pick any song you like from her 160+ performances on YT. Whatever she sang, the results always were great and a pure joy to watch. She's crazy good, even down to age 7 when everything began.
Queen has a open invitation when she can make the time to join them on stage.
@@rburkett1939 That would be exciting. Do you have any source for that?
She was 13 here.
You need to see her in BEAST mode next.
I Put a Spell on You, black and white version, at 9 years old.
She does her on arrangements and you will be Mind Blown.
Hi Jacqueline. Great reaction. You are really good at this. And such wonderful advice you gave in this video. This song is not in the top 10 of songs being played from Angelina's catalog. It might not be in the top 50 - I just know that it is rarely reviewed. I hope that you enjoy her music enough to routinely react to her nearly 170 song catalog. While she did attend an after-school music class, she has always maintained that she taught herself to sing. I think that Angelina is as proof that a reasonable person needs to say that we don't come into this world as a blank slate. I think you will find that she very much deserves the the compliment of being a prodigy and a genius. And yes, she either arranges all of her songs or, at the very least, collaborates on them.
Interesting choice as an introduction to Angelina Jordan. Many people, including myself, got their first view of Angelina on America's Got Talent (AGT) - Champions, broadcast January 2020. She was 13 years old at the time her audition was recorded. Knocked me out of my chair. Suggesting that for your next Angelina reaction. Angelina's roots are jazz. She is a child prodigy and already showed professional level jazz abilities as early as age 7. Her AGT audition was her own arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Make sure you tighten your seatbelt before you begin reacting to it. Absolute masterpiece. Here's the link:

Angelina is 13 She can sing any song by any artist very hard song wonderful voice motional she’s an artist who paints the picture with her voice master artist
Hi Jacqueline. It was wonderful and very meaningful to hear your reaction and thoughts about what it takes to put yourself out there. I think Angelina inspired your words. Since 7 years old, she has continuously perfected her craft and delighted her growing audience taking on all the greats such as Etta James, Sinatra, Ella, Adele, Patsy Kline, Roberta Flack, etc, etc. It is great to hear your impressions which coincide with many other singing professionals regarding her talent, tone, maturity, and soulful interpretation along with her innate musicality that portends a very promising future. For me, she delights my heart with her talent and also her remarkable character, hard work, and focus. She seems fearless and can master difficult songs rapidly with originality and near perfection. Thanks so much for reacting to Angelina and we all look forward to your comments as she progresses in her craft and grows into her full potential. Her recent works such as My Funny Valentine, All I ask, Go Easy on Me, House of the Rising Sun, Billie Jean, Sign of the Times, among others are really remarkable. When she was young, you might want to check out her renditions of Bohemian Rhapsody, Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, At Last, Feeling Good, Every time You Say Goodbye, I Put a Spell on You, Crazy, The First Time Ever I Say Your Face, What a Difference a Day Makes, Loving You , Its a Man's World, I'D Rather Go Blind, La Boheme, and so many other covers. She has also written and performed 4 originals, including Oslo, Million Miles. Seventh Heaven, and What is Life, which also bear your attention. Thanks again.
The young legend!
I'm glad your reacting to more and more Angelina Jorden covers and originals ,,you have a long way to go since there is around 150 of them,, also fun fact the art on the wall behind her is her grandma's originals, if the remember the pantsuit she was wearing on AGT 2020 bohemian raposidy is also one of her grandma's original paintings that was printed onto material and made into the outfit,, Angelina has these on her website forsale also,,
Really enjoyed your reaction Angelina has a huge following your reaction sound honest and refreshing , thumbs up to you 👍
Thank you for a wonderful reaction to a beautiful young talent---imagine her in ten years
Angelina never appears nervous when performing, whether on camera before an audience of one (the viewer) or on stage before thousands, with just a backing track or backed by a national orchestra, from the age of 7 to the present (just turned 16). She has covered many of the greats from jazz, blues, soul, pop, rock, and country (140+ are available for viewing) and has several original performances. She speaks at least 3 languages. She has helped raise millions of dollars for charities around the world, mostly aimed at children, performed at the Nobel Prize ceremonies and for heads of State, won Norway's Got Talent and landed a deal with Republic Records that gives her an extraordinary amount of control over her creativity (She has always arranged her own music). Oh, and she is a published author.
There are a handful of people whose list of achievements boggle the mind. Angelina is right near the top of that list.
Beautiful reaction! Beautiful reactor! Beautiful rendition! I hope you keep following Angelina!
Wonderful reaction - thank you. Angelina is as nice a person as she is a great singer. Very inspirational young lady who is doing it the right way. Try out her recent cover of My Funny Valentine released last month on her Instagram. She is now 16 years old.
When you experience AJ’s versatility there is only one conclusion that can be made, she is the GREATEST of all time there is no one else to compare her to.
Starting with this performance is interesting, maybe it's the destiny of a performer! Jacqueline, you look special too. Angelina is a precocious, brilliant artist who inspires a wide range of great impressions! She is passionate! You embody Angelina in your life as a need to maintain a bright light of talent that comforts and welcomes. In these difficult times, long live the talent!
Fantastic reaction and Welcome to Angelina Jordan's World, full of Pure Love. She is in my opinion the Greatest there ever was, for she can stand tall with Legends and Icons while being so young. She has over 135 covers all rearranged by her beginning at age 6, yes I said 6! She has 5 originals and I believe is Master of Covers like no one before, she makes them all her own. She has done "My Funny Valentine", 3 times, age 9, age 10 and just this past Valentine"s Day at age 16. Should react to them in progression, even though so amazing at 9, you still see the massive growth, mind blowing, God Bless!
... and she is not even a rocker, but more a jazzer. Anyway, she is called "girl with 1000 voices" This song here was a tribute, but when she did "Bohemian Rapsody" for America's Got Talent Champions she made it her own in such a good way, that Queen themselves linked it to their twitter account. As a rocker I would recommend "I Put A Spell On You", black&white studio version and in soul, "Man World" live with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps. If you also like Jazz, she started at 6 years old. On the account of Rusty Shackleford you can find playlists with every song, she somehow released. She won Norway's Got Talent in the age of 7/8...
my analysis after 8 years,,,,,,,,first teenager whos fan base are not teenager ( they are mostly clueless) but adults ,,,,,musicians,,,,and humans with a lot of empathy,,,,,,,,,,,,princess of jazz we never had before,,,,an angel who heals with human voice,,,,,,,,,,,,she is once in a life time musical experince,,,,,,,,,
Check out her newest at 16 years old My Funny Valentine. The best version ever!
Love your reaction❤I so agree with everything you`re saying. Thank you. Ann from Norway
Thank you, Jacqueline, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as a professional, you do it extremely well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Hi JVB, love your reaction to 13 yo Angie. (Her audible tension was off the charts.) I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway.
(Why does Angie performs barefoot. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html) Angie has arranged over 150 covers & written 5 songs & had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices with a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combind with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =)
Please dive into Angelina...I can't wait to hear your reactions to our angel.love from Scotland.
Enjoy the ride. I have enjoyed Angelina ever since I first stumbled upon this amazing young person.
Welcome to this magical world.
She is mazing
An excellent reaction.... thank you!
Angelina is fearless, she covers nothing but the best artists of all time. This rock cover was a deviation from her characteristic vocal style of jazz. She is 13 in this performance and she has improved enormously now that she is 16. Her latest cover of "My Funny Valentine," demonstrates that her skills are starting to eclipse many of the great singers who have been her influences. In this song she plays around with the texture in her voice in a way I don't have words to describe; it simply must be heard.
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
Just sub'd to watch your journey. Thank you for the awesome reaction to our Angel. This 67 year old male has been following Angelina for 3 years.
I’m looking forward to your reactions to more of Angelina Jordan.💕 I really enjoyed your reaction.👍🏼🎼🤗
I remember my first time hearing Angelina !!! Just love her ! Your sure to enjoy anything you choose !!! Go Angelina !!!!!
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear
shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason ... 🗣🎙👑
Excellent reaction! Your comments near the end of your reaction about "keep evolving" are more "on Point" in reference to Angelina Jordan than you could know, but I am Sure you will find that AJ is almost Supernaturally Versatile...Some call her the"Girl with 1,000 voices" because NO Genre or Style of music seems to be beyond her ability. I am also a Big Fan of Queen, ever since I first heard "Killer Queen" back in 1974, and All my life I have been immersed in Music of all kinds. I worked in Record Stores for over 20 years, and I tell you that I have Never been so Completely blown away by ANY singer the way I have been by Angelina Jordan. I Agree with other comments that Bohemian Rhapsody or I Put A Spell On You would be great second stops on "the Journey", but Don't neglect to go back to the Beginning when she WON Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old(!) with a Master Level performance of "Summertime"!
The Link to "Summertime" on NGT.
Such a great reaction !! Love, that you truly get Angelina and what she is all about, like so many of her loyal followers do! Can't wait for your next reaction to this amazing singer!
You are right I agree with you. See you soon 😘
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction & analysis of Angelina's masterful performance. Highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) at ages 7-8 - &/or to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to check out her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Always love to see a reactor "discovering" Angelina. She is the most phenomenal talent I have ever heard in my life. She has recorded well over 160 songs between UA-cam, Instagram and TicToc. Starting from when she was about 6 years old. Hope to see many many more reactions to her music with you.
So happy you recognize her genius and power. In a couple years she will rule the Grammys.
My favorite adult female vocalist is SHARON DEN ADEL, from Withib Temptation but ANGELINA JORDAN (AJA) is favorite. New artist and closing g in fast !!@!
You know what I love about Angelina? When she sings she puts her whole soul into the song and it shows in her face and eyes and then when I watch you guys watching her as she sings she pulls your soul out as well as she does mine. That is a gift.

I'm glad you commented on her incredible breathe control. She astounds me over and over with that. Since this is a Queen song, and you are a Queen fan, I recommend that you react to her performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html when she was also 13. It was her performance on AGT the Champions 2, and it now has about 100M views on several YT sites. I gave you the link to the site that includes her getting the golden buzzer at the end. Simply put, it is the most unique and fantastic performance of this iconic song since the original. I've probably seen it over 200 times, and it blows me away every time. I loved your reaction and I am now a subscriber, and I'm looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Also, if you continue to react to Angelina, her fans are very loyal and supportive of sites that cover her. They will reward you by subscribing and supporting your site. 😊😊
So you've finally discovered one of the best young singers of today. I believe she was 12 in this Vedic. She's amazing.
Interesting choice of song for your first reaction by the current Queen of Jazz, although Angelina Jordan has sung in at least 9 genres. Angelina as talented as she is, is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography 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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
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. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. 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, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
By age 14, Angelina had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, 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 a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Yes! Kudos.
Well said :))
Awesome reaction!...as you will see in other comments this is not the norm for first impressions of Angelina but I am so happy to see someone with such appreciation watch this! I love everything this amazing artist does...welcome to the rabbit hole and I dig your positivity...I subbed❤️
You just found the Queen of Music! and a brand new bestie that you soon wont live without. She has had that control since six and has perfected it each day she breathes.
Angelina Jordan singing emotions and passion conviction she sings for her spirit your spirit
She can sing anything
A beautiful young woman with a great voice ! That little smile stayed on.!
Yes please, more.
Welcome to the rabbit hole
Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣👸🏻🎷
If you liked that check out her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody! ua-cam.com/video/D7SE6c1Htds/v-deo.html ♥👣👸🏻🎷
She grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. ♥👣
She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. ua-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/v-deo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it.
A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you will soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! ! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! ua-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/v-deo.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. ua-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/v-deo.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! ua-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/v-deo.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old!

Hei igjen! It's been a minute ! Haven't watched you since you stopped reacting to Aurora tbh :-)
But Angelina is my girl for sure. Also Norwegian, like Aurora and me :-) I've been following her closely since she won Norway's Got Talent at 8 (her auditions were made when she was 7, but she had just turned 8 at the final) and I have never looked back. Angelina is definitely one of the greatest female singers today, and I'm sure she will be considered the G.O.A.T. before she's finished. There are SO many different ways to discover her, either go and watch her very early stuff to understand where it all started, or go ahead and see what she sounds like as of right now, then go to the beginning. ONE staple that you REALLY need to get clocked in is her rendition of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" when she was 9 years 2 months old. She also did the arrangement for that performance, and have done all of her arrangements after that. She has roughly 160 covers out, and she's made ALL of them her own, often times better than the original. That is a very common comment we hear about her, and I totally agree. In addition, she has 5 originals and also two songs that were specifically written for her. At 14, Angelina was signed by Republic Records, and so far they have respected her family's wish to protect her and not push her as an artist until she's finished High School, only a few months away. Angelina turned 16 on January 10th. Angelina currently stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall and is by no means a small girl anymore :-) I'll give you the link to "I Put A Spell On You" here, and I will also give you a great suggestion.

And now the great suggestion (several reactors have done this already, and they have all been TOTALLY blown away) : - On Valentine's Day, at age 10, Angelina dropped a rendition of "My Funny Valentine", the 1937 jazz standard that has been covered and included in 1300+ albums through the years, and that performance was absolutely beautiful! But here's the thing : If you want to listen to what Angelina sounds like as of RIGHT NOW, she dropped a new rendition of that song on Valentine's Day 18 days ago. And just let me tell you right now. You are not going to be prepared for that insanely incredible beautiful performance. Listen to it and understand why I constantly keep referring to Angelina as the future G.O.A.T. of the industry.
The two performances are down to the date 6 years apart, and serve as a perfect example of her unbelievable development as a vocalist. I'll give you the link to both of them now.

Angelina, 16 years old : ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html (Bonus - Here you also get to see how incredibly beautiful she has become. She's got it all.)
Consider showing her the respect of doing a double ?? You won't regret it, I promise.
And finally. Just a few days after Adele released her new album, Angelina covered her "Easy On Me". That one also shows you perfectly how utterly beautiful voice Angelina has, and her incredible techniques and abilities to emote songs. Personally I prefer Angelina's cover over Adele's original. Give it a try and see what you think. Link : ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.html
I could have kept rambling on for an hour and more, but this will have to do for now. I really hope to see you react some more to Angelina soon.
Take care, Jacqueline, and have a great weekend ! Love from Norway :-)
She has done so many masterpieces with covers , but also some real gems written by her, Shield and Millions miles to mention just two! Great to have you on the AJ train.
ANGELINA......👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
