    In 2014, a little Norwegian girl was named and codified, a national treasure by both the King of Norway and the prime Minister. That same year, she sang for the Nobel peace prize winners all at the age of 8.
    In 2023, that same girl, now almost 18 once again graced the Nobel peace prize stage and sang for the recipient once again.
    That young girl is none other than Angelina Jordan.
    Angelina Jordan made history with this performance.
    Angelina is the only solo singer under the age of 18 to have performed twice at the Nobel peace prize concert.
    When I learned the story of Narges Mohammadi, this years recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the history of the song "Unchained Melody", I fully understood why Angelina Jordan chose this song.
    P.S.: Angelina arranged the music and vocals for this performance. She thanked the director of KORK publicly for allowing her to do this.

    As one tuff guy to another, wet eye syndrome has been linked to Angelina Jordan. My eyes have no problem even looking at the sun, but with this young lady my tear ducts have been getting regular flushing for over 5 years now. Turns out she’s good for both body & soul.

    Reportedly, Angelina is the only person who has performed at a Nobel Prize event twice before the age of 18. The first time she was 8 years old.

    Beautiful reaction. Angelina was 17 years old here. She is a revelation all on her own, isn't she ? It's very hard not to get touched when you listen to her. The beauty, elegance and dignity is unparalleled, and her voice and personality on top of that. It makes for something extremely special. Thanks a lot for keeping her on your channel, I really appreciate it. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

    Angelina and KORK(Norwegian Radio Orchestra) just did a magnificent rendition of Unchained Melody! The perfect song for Narges Mohammadi Nobel Peace Prize! And let’s not forget Angelina’s Iranian heritage and Oslo is her hometown! Third time with KORK, she did Back to Black and Summertime when she was 10! Has been invited twice to Nobel Peace Prize, previously appeared when she was eight! She has brought grace and elegance back to the stage! Narges is in jail for leading the fight for women’s rights in Iran! At the end Angelina puts her hand over her heart acknowledging Narges children who were on stage and happen to be Angelina’s age and are living in exile in France! There is a video of her working with the director of KORK and a pianist doing the arrangement for this performance it is outstanding!

    Angelina performed this at the Nobel Peace Prize ceramony for Margis Mohammadi who is currently in prison in Iran for her stand on women's rights and opposition to the death penalty. Angelina's grandmother, Meri Zamani is Iranian and therefore this, hits close to home for her. Thank you for your reaction, and yes we all feel the emotion when she sings. Peace and Love.

      I cried too when I first heard this and many times when watching it again. There’s a lot behind this performance which I’m sure many other angels (which is what Angelina calls her fans) that can fill you in better than I can. Angelina never ceases to amaze me and I’ve got to listen to at least one of her songs or covers every day, she just soothes my soul.

    Hi buddy, Did ya notice mid song when she says God speed your love she did the old Elvis lip raise ? Hers was a double lip raise to honor Elvis. She is my favorite artist so far including Elvis. Thanks for your vietnam service , Its why we all are free. And Angelinas free to be singing in the united states and coming from Norway. You had something to do with her freedom also. Thank you. God bless.

    From one Vietnam-era Vet to another, this performance of this iconic song by a 17 year-old girl who graduated from high school only a few months before this event, brought tears to my eyes, too. Angelina sings emotions, and she was definitely FEELING this song during this performance. I can't even imagine what the future holds for her, but I can pray that whatever that my be, it will be for her highest good, and the highest good for all humanity. 💕❤💕

    When it comes to musical talent, none can compare to Angelina Jordan. She is not just a singer, but a musical instrument herself. Her voice is capable of producing the most exquisite hypnotic sounds, from the softest whispers to the most powerful belts. She can sing in any genre, any language, any mood. She can improvise, harmonize, and mesmerize. She is the finest musical instrument on the planet, and we are so lucky to be in this time and place to hear her perform. ©

    Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize Dec. 2024
    Unchained Melody (AJ, at the age of 17 performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony December 2023 in Oslo, Norway.)I watched as Angelina Jordan stepped onto the stage, her presence commanding attention. The room hushed, anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate thread. She stood there, a young girl with an old soul, ready to weave magic with her voice. As the first notes of "Unchained Melody" filled the room, time seemed to slow. Angelina's voice wrapped around each word, infusing them with a depth that transcended mere lyrics. It was as though the song had been written for her, and her alone. The audience held its breath as she sang. Her voice soared, reaching heights that touched the heavens. The pain and longing in her eyes mirrored the emotions in the song-the heartache, the yearning. It was more than a performance; it was a revelation. The chorus came, and Angelina's voice swelled, filling every corner of the room. " Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch," she sang, and suddenly, we all did. The magic in her performance was like nothing we had ever experienced in our lives. The lyrics came alive and had meaning as they flowed through us. In that moment, Angelina Jordan became a vessel for something greater-an embodiment of love itself. Her voice carried us beyond our own pain and loneliness. We felt connected-to her, to each other, to something intangible yet profound. As she held that final note, time snapped back into place. The applause erupted-a thunderous acknowledgment of what we had just witnessed. But it wasn't just applause; it was gratitude-for allowing us to glimpse love through Angelina's eyes. And so, we stood there, hearts full, tears in our eyes. Angelina Jordan had given us something rare-a reminder that love exists even in our brokenness. And for those few minutes, we believed it with every fiber of our being. ©

    We are all touched when we listen to Angelina. This is one of her best performances to date. If you want to tell people about Angelina, share her videos and also the story below...
    Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
    She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers. A world tour is in the works, likely to coincide with her full album release.
    Here is a semi-chronological UA-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu
    Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
    Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

    Thanks for your wonderful reaction to this beautiful, touching, respectful performance by Angelina Jordan. I greatly respect your commentary about the choices Angelina made for this performance. As always, it is about the song and the occasion, for Angelina.
    I thought "Unchained Melody" was an odd choice for this event, but have since learned the history of the song. More on that later.
    Certainly Angelina was thrilled to be performing back in her home country of Norway, where she is a national treasure, but this performance goes way beyond that honor. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize event, when she was 8 years old.
    Narges Mohammadi was this year's recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian.
    We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change.
    In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time".
    The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run, or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release. Note: It has been 9 years since Nargea has seen her twin daughter and Son and her Husband.

    Join the club! You have just been Angelinarised! Great reaction to the greatest rendition of this song I have ever heard! This arrangement by Angelina was perfect for the occasion, a tribute to the very brave Narges Mohammadi, winner of the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for standing up for women’s rights in Iran. She is currently serving a long prison sentence for her belief that women are equal to men. Her 17 year old twin children received the prize on her behalf and Angelina looked directly at them during the song. A cause Close to Angelina as her maternal grandmother, Meri Zamani, is Iranian.

    Angelina inspires me to do what I can to help make the world a better place, so I am asking all angels and others to spread the story of Narges Mohammadi. Angelina was recorded here in December 2023 at the Nobel Peace prize ceremony in Oslo Norway, performing this beautiful version of Unchained Melody. She paid tribute to Narges, who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two twin children, who are 17, spoke on her behalf at this event. The more people who are aware and call for change, the more likely the leaders of Iran will set her free. Acts of kindness are inspirational, as Angelina always reminds us. We angels, and all others must honor Angelina, and those who represent our values, by doing all we can to help, and be kind to others. Even the smallest gestures can make a difference.
    If you have not already done so, please provide artist links to the official channels, social media and even links to Spotify and iTunes, as many reactors have done. Most importantly, encourage your viewers to use those links the same way as you do for your own channel. That will help ensure her success and spreading peace and love to the world.

    Hey Paul, your reaction here is very well done and may I say it is not unexpected.
    Angelina's ability to connect with the heart and soul of the audience and convey emotions to the listener is unmatched, at least for non-classical vocal artists of our time. She evokes emotions even when she rearranges songs that aren't her own, that even the original artists probably didn't know were in it. And she has been doing this since her first TV appearance at the age of seven.
    As for tears and speechlessness - that's normal, because sometimes she hits you deeply and you never know when. It seems as if she is reviving memories of the past that were deeply buried and have now been restored with her performance. We have seen experienced reactors, even vocal coaches, who could not hold back tears during certain Angelina songs.
    Having said that, now I'm not sure it's a good idea to recommend "You Say" - think about whether you're strong enough to watch it.

    Also are mashups of Angelina with either original artist or instrumental band. Some are truly incredible:
    - Ain’t No Sunshine [was created using 12-year old Angelina’s simple cover and band musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) who originally performed song for singer Canen, making fantastic composition of this Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit: ua-cam.com/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/v-deo.html]
    - Crazy (mix of 12-year old Angelina’s 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival audio with two rehearsal videos to make a great rendition of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: ua-cam.com/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/v-deo.html)
    - Easy On Me [mix of 15-years old Angelina’s cover video (plus snippets of several other videos) with 33-year old Adele’s music video. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: ua-cam.com/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/v-deo.html]
    - Back To Black (remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video done with KORK orchestra and 23-year old Amy Winehouse’s music video. Amy and Angelina’s voices seem like duplicates of each other: ua-cam.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/v-deo.html)
    - All Of Me (combines 13-year old Angelina’s cover with music video of 35-year old John Legend playing piano and singing with 28-year old Lindsey Stirling’s violin accompaniment. Not perfect, but creates virtual duet: ua-cam.com/video/i0rSKumJE8s/v-deo.html)
    - Stay (mix of 12-year old Angelina cover with 24-year old Rihanna and 27-year old Mikky Ekko music video. Angelina and Rihanna sound similar even though 12 year age difference. This piano ballad about a relationship became Rihanna’s 27th million-seller: ua-cam.com/video/OgrCIURzpyo/v-deo.html)
    - Sign Of The Times (mix of 15-year old Angelina short cover with parts of 23-year old Harry Styles’ BBC produced TV show. Creates a mind-blowing 2 minutes long virtual duet: ua-cam.com/video/8glJLHUd7uo/v-deo.html)

    For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan
    Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
    1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
    2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
    3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
    At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html
    At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html
    At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
    At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
    At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
    At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
    ‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
    She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html
    At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
    ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html
    On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
    On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her.
    At Age 16 she has three new covers.
    The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html
    She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
    The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
    Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
    She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
    Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)

    Dear Sir, a song about an imprisoned man, who longs for his loved ones, sung by a world class singer of Iranian heritage (grandma Mery had to flee) in front of the children of a Iranian woman, sentenced to 31 years of prison and 154 whiplashes, because she wanted equal rights for women. Her children are the same age as Angelina and sat in front of AJ.
