One of her many charity performances, she raises millions for childrens charities especially, and today she raises money to feed the homeless in los Angeles.
Sabina no surprise you thought Angelina was 7 years old since on AGT they said she was 7 when she won NGT. Surprised Angelina went along with that little white lie. She was 7 when she auditioned singing Gloomy Sunday then turned 8 before her final 3 performances. Here is a part of a biography I compiled about Angelina. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. 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, Farci, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. 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. 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 befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no 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.” 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 so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. 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 asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 year old.
Angelina is not *_in_* the music, she *_is_* the music, or perhaps the music is in her. I don't know, maybe it's just *_all music_* when she enters the stage.
There is literally no song sung by Angelina that would not be worthy to react to. Even her rehearsals and interviews are worthy. You have found not only a singer you have found a true vocal artist and a human destined to be an historical subject for many generations to come. There are hundreds of videos documenting her life from her first notes recorded at eighteen months of age to the present. You will spend many hours being astounded by Angelina Jordan Astar.
This was shortly after she won NGT when she was 8. She sang it in the finals of NGT in a different way with a lot more rasp & vibrato. But if you want smooth, you should hear her smooth version with full orchestra when she was 10 yo. ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html Each version is different, each one is amazing. She is once-in-a-lifetime!!!
8 years old in this one. After you have done some of the other great works of Angelina, be sure to swing back around to the version of this song she did at 10 years old too. It's a little different arrangement done with a soft orchestra backing. But before that you have lots of other sons to explore. I highly recommend going to her "cover channel" and selecting any of the videos that you see with just her and a guitar player in the thumbnail. These are all stripped back, intimate settings where her voice really shines.
im simply so enchanted by Angelina..... i only " found" her a few days ago.. but i have the need... no im compelled to binge watch her performences.. she's a godess
Wow - I've never seen THIS performance... her Norske Talent is a canned-orchestra with a solo trumpeter - very nice. Then there's an indoor day-time gathering with a full orchestra - sooooo sublime. Thanks for bringing this Third Version to my attention, and thanks for your comments.
Angelina listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's version over and over again to produce her own "Summertime" selection. The musicians whether in studio or on stage call her "The Boss".
Thanks for being back with Angelina again and for your wonderful reaction, Sabina. This interpretation is from the summer of 2014 in Norway, after the NGT, in a romantic sunset concert where her soft and warm voice softly spreads over the bay behind her. One of the NGT judges at his first performance with Glooming Sunday expressed a beautiful judgment, said "You are the Music" which I think is the most succinct and perfect fact about Angelina. 🤗 ❤️ See also her other splendid interpretation of "Summertime" at 10, with a classical orchestra and a slightly slower tempo, ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html You can see also the new live version released three weeks ago of her original Million Miles in B / W, it's simply stunning. ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html You don't have to worry, you can face Angelina's songs in many ways, chronologically, randomly, out of simple curiosity or for songs you prefer, it will always be a street full of pleasant surprises and splendid interpretations. 🤗
I think your expressions say everything! Angelina is a genius! I prefer Summertime in Norway Got Talent, at finals, extremely tecnical! Congratulations, I enjoy so much your opinions.
Yes she is extraordinary. But even at this age, in front of a huge audience, she is completely at ease and in total control. you mention the adult band members who I am sure recognize how fortunate they are to be sharing the stage with this once in a lifetime vocal artist. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Can't wait for more.
I always remember the story of when the woman told Angelina she made her cry. Angelina apologized but the woman said it wasn't necessary and told her she loved to hear her sing. I believe at that moment Angelina, although confused, began to understand the effect she was having on people when she sang to them. And, that realization has grown to where it is today.
Know what you are trying to say? Sabina, you have an absolutely beautiful way with words. You painted a perfect, poignant image of what we were seeing that made us (or at least me) see different aspects of tthe performance and overall experience than I saw on my own. You did the same in your first (double) reaction, and this is something about you that makes you unique as a reactor. Here are some of the comments you made that resonated with me. - You talked about the "magic of the setting"; the ocean, the setting sun, late summer feel and the natural, warmth, organic feel it provided. It may seem like a simple observation but it is important and sets that stage for what is to come. - You described her performance as "soft, warm and beautiful". Really poignant words, not words I would have come up with but they are perfect. - You talked about her presence and particularly how she is so "in the music". You came back to this theme a few times. It is such an important observation. Angelina's ability to connect with the song she is singing is fundamental to her ability to communicate that meaning and emotion to her audience so brilliantly. - I have never heard anyone use the words "organic and natural" to describe her but, again, they are perfect and capture an idea that I've had in my head for probably the full year since I discovered her, but was never able to properly articulate. - You noted the combination of her age and child-like vulnerability, innocence on the one hand with and old jazzy soulful voice (and I would add stage presence), how it is remarkable to see these, extremes come together in one artist. - You noted the juxtaposition of Angelina's youth with amazing, grown-up, talented artists with whom she performs in perfect harmony. Having seen so many performances by her, we come to expect this and it just seems normal. But it really isn't. It's extraordinary. - And maybe my favourite of all the observations you made: that being so good at such an early age strongly suggests that found the right thing for her, that she has discovered what she was meant to do. That's such a beautiful thought, and aligns with things Angelina herself has said since she was very young. In addition to all these lovely thoughts, your expressions convey a lot without being (like many others) over-the-top. All in all it is simply a joy to watch you react to Angelina. Incidentally, she has an absolutely spectacular version of this song, a few years older, with the prestigious KORK orchestra in Norway. It also has a beautiful ambiance, albeit in a different way. You might want to give it a listen on your own or when you show this one Henry(?). From a pure vocal perspective, the KORK performance is my favourite performance of hers (or anyone's) of that song. Absolutely spellbinding. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html Sorry for the rambling reaction. Thank you for coming back to Angelina and I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that I hope you continue to react to our barefoot princess. Take care and have a wonderful new year!
Beyond her technical ability, her pacing discipline and her unmatched ability to convey emotion is her (to me) mind blowing level of comfort performing in front of thousands without even a hint of unease.
Yes, that is mindblowing. I read somewhere that Angelina supposedly once asked her teacher to explain the word 'nervous' because she had never had that feeling. 🤪
One of my favorite Angelina moments was when she sang this song on Norway's Got Talent. After the song, one of the judges, Bjarte Hjelmeland, started off his commentary by saying, "It's no use, Angelina, how often you say 'Don't you cry' I just can't control myself. That got a little laugh from Angelina that was priceless.
I appreciate that you do not interrupt with verbal comments during the performance, but the comments that appear on the screen are just fine, and not distracting. This all makes it much more enjoyable for at least this listener. Also like your thoughtful comments after the video has played. Although I've heard Angelina sing this song at least 50 times at a minimum, I'd never once seen this version. The setting was beautiful, as you noted. Cheers.
Angelina is shocking and awesome. Even when her voice seems to crack, it is beautiful. Angelina has many different voices and each is wonderful, shocking and awesome. You can try any of her songs and you will be shocked over and over again.
Sabina, I'm so happy you have let Angelina touch your heart. There are two other Summertime performances. The finals in the NGT Show and the other one is singing with a full orchestra. Sabina, there is a lot for you to listen to. One of my favorite is What A Difference A Day Makes.
When you combine ultimate versatility and excellence, there is truly no other singer who can match her abilities in so many different genres.........but 'deep down' she's a jazz singer !
In performances over time of a particular song, there are variations of course. Angelina’s performance of “Summertime” on NGT highlighted her jazzy style vibrato and vocal fry-it was over the top as performances go. As time passes, Angelina’s performances tend to be smoother, more refined, more sophisticated. I feel that is what is happening in this bayside performance. There are many other instances of this among the dozens and dozens of her UA-cam recordings. It seems to me she follows her instincts and feelings in the moment, playing with her voice and all her techniques in any given performance. She is consistent within a performance, but over time she continues to develop her style and later instances of the same song tend to become more sophisticated, more melodious, and more evocative.
I thought I’d pretty much seen everything Angelina has sung, but I never saw this video of Summertime. I’ve watched two other versions many, many times including the amazing NGT version. What comes through is that Angelina is truly a jazz singer. Each version is different. The basics are there, of course, but where she goes with individual lines and phrases shows the vocal freedom that jazz allows-and Angelina flows with that. Yes, Yellow Brick Road is a must-see. Her voice is magical, but watch how Angelina mesmerizes the huge audience at the first line. Her connection is instantaneous because we see her interpreting the song so authentically and personally. What you haven’t seen yet, though, is Angelina with just a mic and an acoustic guitar backing her. That set-up gives you Angelina’s voice full-throttle, and you can hear every nuance in her delivery. Her covers of Adele are stunning. “A Million Years Ago” is one of those acoustic gems where you realize that Angelina, even at 11 years old, is in a different league than other singers. In Summertime that you just watched, Angelina is an amazing child singer. With “A Million Years Ago”, three years later, you realize that you’re listening to one of the best singers you’ve ever heard-period. I’ve loved your reactions pre-Angelina, but now I really look forward to you reviewing more of her songs. I think you’re hooked.
She says that when she sings she enters another world where she is an home and secure. So she is never nervous when she sings. Actually nervous it seems is something she never does. She is never not singing, really, so she is in paradise.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
Well look at you. You just listed three of my all time favorites. All three posted within a month of each other, not long after she got this fantastic Neumann Microphone for her 12th birthday. And all three with just Ivan Mendes on the acoustic guitar. I'll give the links below: "Stay" ua-cam.com/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/v-deo.html Wonderful song by Rihanna, but I much prefer Angelina's version. "A Million Years Ago" ua-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/v-deo.html Terrific song by Adele, and many believe performed better by Angelina (including me). "California Dreamin'" ua-cam.com/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/v-deo.html My all time favorite Angelina performance. What she has done with this classic pop song is MAGNIFICENT!!
I suggested last time to do Angelina's "What A Difference A Day Makes" she is 8 in this also, would be fun to have your friend blindfolded for the beginning and ask her the approximate age of the singer then take off the blindfold unless you already told her about Angelina then it would not work, but just a thought.
Yes, we all understand exactly what you're saying, we've all been there. That "WOW" moment when you hear her for the first time (and second and third and....). Angelina has several videos of her performing Summertime, it was her winning performance on NGT: ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html, and my personal favorite is her singing with Kork, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra: ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html. Another of my favorites is her performance with the Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces singing "It's a Man's World", where the conductor starts shaking his head in disbelief as to what he's hearing midway through. That one is definitely worthy of a reaction:)
Yeah, this was the summer after her NGT triumph, so she was eight. I wonder sometimes if this was when her voice was changing. I can't detect it in later years. She sang "Summertime" again, beautifully as always, with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra two years later. Later that year, on a rooftop in Oslo, she sang a marvelous version of Cole Porter's 1944 classic, "Every Time We Say Goodbye". It's one of my favorite songs that she's sung. ua-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/v-deo.html
Back then, she always wore flowers in her hair and barefooted and curtsied after singing. No more! She is great though! And you are gorgeous, I love you Sabina!!!
as a 6yr old child she sings I WHO HAVE NOTHING in a studio . see if you can watch it without smiling . 6yrs old amazing . Born to Die cover also , but so many .
Thank you for reacting to Angelina! She is for sure something special. The recording was made for the live televised midsummer night celebrations (St. Hansaften) in the evening/early night of Jun 23, 2014 at Vollen, just outside Oslo, Norway. The program was a charity program for the Norwegian Association for Sea Rescue. It was her first televised performance after she won Norway got Talent exactly one month earlier. The band which accompanied her is Hans (Aarset) Orkester, which has accompanied Angelina several times later too, during other tv-performances. Talking about how Angelina seems to be at her right place singing/performing, you should check out her rendition of "What a difference a day make" recorded just a few days later, with the same band. It is my personal favorite from those early performances. ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html And yes, being at the beach in Norway during those incredible light evenings and nights midsummer can be paradisiacal in itself... Add Angelina's performance and aura to it..... "Heaven, I'm in heaven!"
Angelina is the most complete young artist we have in the world today! Many who sing well, but we can ask them if they can switch credibly between jazz, edm, pop, country, and classical music in no time. In addition to her beautiful voice, you also have a unique communication ability. After Angelina has sung a cover song, I rather continue on her and forget the original artist. And she's still only 15 years old.
Thanks, Sabina - she is extraordinary -- pure talent.. incredibly self-possessed - and also - English is not her first language -- and - in "Spell" - how could this child "channel" Screamin' Jay Hawkins?? I just. can't...
Nice Sabina.My best wishes for this new year. So many singers try to exist on stage...and over do it.....AJ she is just THERE.... and she takes you with her ..as simple as that.
Hi Sabina. (reminder, tomorrow 1-10-21 is Angie's 15th Birthday & a bunch of the reactors & pros are doing reactions of her & wishing her a happy b-day. I hope you join the celebration) The word that most use to describe Angie is WOW!! it say it all on how captivating she is. (by the way, Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say all her songs would be 1st time reactions. Thank you for that wonderful reaction & the nice little input at the end too. Angie was 8 here, did the arrangement & was getting over a cold too. You gave Angie fans a tough question. Which would we like & what are, are favorites, cause once go down the Angie rabbit hole, they end up being all your favorites. (maybe you could do 2 songs per reaction for some are short videos.

when she was younger, she always wore flowers in her hair and barefooted and always curtsied at the end, there is no more of that now. She is still wonderful, and her rendition of "unchained Melody" is fantastic. But she never sang again like she did at 8 years with "I put a spell on you" that was truly amazing.
Angelina's voice is so soothing. Everything she sings seems to emote a feeling of calm. I love it. There are many of her songs to listen to so just play and react to more, please!!
Hi Sabina! We know exactly what you are trying to say because we also feel the same with Angelina. Sometimes it's so overwhelming you just don't find the words. But you expressed your feelings beautifully. Angelina has said many times that early in life she KNEW that all she wanted was to sing. At 7 years old she asked her mother to enter her into the Norway's Got Talent competition. She's that fearless, that confident in herself and yet amazingly humble. You can appreciate all that when you see her standing in front of that huge crowd just singing her heart out, as cool as a cucumber. Her family has been very supportive of her dream and given the fact that her grandmother was also a painter child prodigy, they understand her, they get her. She has grown up surrounded by these amazing musicians that also understand that they are not playing with a child, that they are playing with an extraordinary musician. And I say musician because she has taken part of all the arrangements of every song she performs. You should see her singing at the Alan Walker "Coming Home" concert, in front of a huge orchestra she didn't even see and not missing one beat at 10 years old!!! AMAZING!
Dear Sabina 🌷 Angelina looks like a little woodland fairy. I closed my eyes to listen just so I can “see” the song differently. She has a whiskey voice is best I can describe her. I love this video because I can see Norway in the summertime. Thank you for this wonderful review. 🤗
Very beautiful performance Angelina is above her talents I sense she has raised the talent bar to the next universe very glad that she shares her talents to this world I hope this planet will appreciate Angelina jordan thanks for sharing her talents to this world!!!
At first I was disappointed that it wasn't the NGT performance but I hadn't seen this performance before and it was wonderful. Thanks for finding this one for us. t must have been soon after she won NGT, she looks to be 8yo I would think.
And also, that is why I love watching lovelies like you and Henri reacting to Dimash and AJ as well, as YOU guys are MY re-reaction of the first time seeing them..warms my heart all over again :)
Let Henri starts right from the begining, with Angelina's first appearence in Norways Got Talent. There is a "Reincarnation of old souls" component in this video. Then you can proceed with Amira Willighagen with the video "O Mio Babbino Caro" from the Hollands Got Talent. And also check for Alma Deutscher. She is the Mozart's reincarnation on steroids.
You should listen to her two other versions of this song to hear how her immersion into the moment affects each rendition of a song. It's never the same because the experience of each moment is unique
Your point about Angelina attracting grown, highly talented musicians to accompany her at such a young age was something I also thought about the first time I saw her live performance of "Feelin' Good." ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html The musicians backing her must have been happy/grateful/delighted/overjoyed to find someone so outstanding as to bring them new opportunities to exercise/play/take advantage of their years of work to become such masterful musicians. Just imagine -- you as an adult get to shine on music you love b/c of a little girl. I was gratified to see that several of the players seen in this clip went on to perform with her at many other concerts in subsequent years.
Beautiful reaction! Loved it. What better way to end your day than with that beautiful little Angel closing it out. She has such away about her that can really dive right into your heart.
Enjoy the ride Sabina. My mother was a professional singer in the Big Band Era, and was famous. She gave it all up to raise A big family. She would have fallen in love with Angelina, and my mom sang very sultry, and deep with the emotion needed to perform with the amazing bands she sang for. You give heart felt reactions, and I wish you well. Happy New Year, and keep doing the reactions of Angelina, and your followers will grow big time
You should try California Dreaming or Wicked Game, as these are ones where Angelina has re-engineered the songs to what she thinks they should be. I’m enjoying your reactions.
Loved your reaction as.always to our Angel Sabina 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙 there are too many young singers who came along in last few years and they all are sensational with amazing future ahead of them but this girl angelina she is just something else apart from all
Thank you for another grand reaction to Angelina. You have the same problem as many other Reactors and, indeed, to many of her most ardent fans. That is trying to find the appropriate words to describe Angelina's talent. After struggling for a long, long time I suddenly realised that there are no words in a thesaurus to adequately cover all bases, so have decided that "Angelina" - her name alone - is the only way to describe everything about her. In just two days time, on 10 Jan 2021 she will celebrate her 15th birthday and ask you to feature her on your channel on that day. There are many videos from which to choose but as a special favour may I ask you to consider reacting "Million miles" her emotional original song, written as a tribute to the death of her grandfather and to offer comfort to all those who have lost a loved one. If you have reacted to this video already, so you may wish to choose something else. Whatever you choose, it is important you feature in on her birthday. You have the choice of two editions: The original lyrics video at: ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html and her live performance at: ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html
This is only one month after her finale at NGT, June 2014 😊 Her vibrato is quite similar to the NGT performance, which she matured a bit, later that year.
I don't know there quite a few more that I like kinda a mixture and I'm leaving out the Asian singers but here you go: Diana Ankudinova, Daneliya Tuleshova, Angelina Jordan ,Courtney Hadwin, Allie Sherlock, Angelica Hale,Charlotte Summers,(Mimi and Josie) ,Martha and Lucy Thomas, Emily Linge,Celine Tam, Lucy Thomas, Chevel Shepard, Emi Sunshine ,TNT Boys, Kennedy Holmes all are young upcoming talents (this one is really young only 7 Claire Crosby singer and already been in a movie and try Grace Vanderwaal won AGT at 12-13 ) Opera try Amira Willighagen won Hollands got talent 7-8, Laura Bretan ,Beau Dermott ,Emanne Beasha . Bands try "The Warning Band" and "Liliac" and "The Petersons" all young family bands and " The Sixsters" and "Dea Matroni" from Ireland .Also try these a ventriloquist Darci Lynn Farmer and a violinist/singer Karolina Protsenko.
I know I said this to you before but you're the only reactor that will not interrupt the singing that's why you are my favorite reactor and I love your analysis to please keep doing them you're so good at it thank you
Nice reaction. She is sooo easy to listen to. As mentioned in the comments there are other versions of this song. It's always great. Some prefer her with slowed down orchestra version. I prefer NGT. You don't have to react but you should check them out. Any where you go works for me. Feeling Good, At Last, Every Time We Say Goodbye, I'd Rather Go Blind, Stay, A Million Years Ago, I Have Nothing, her original Shield or What Is Life are just some of my 80-90 favorites. She really is special. Hoping for more.
This is not her Norske Talenter final song, but a different version. It is still fabulous. But the one you are looking for is the Norway's got talent version to see where she really comes from. I believe she's about 10 here.
I love the soul type almost highlife music you play in the background, when reacting to Angelina. But as to Angelina, I see this plainly when I see such talent like hers, which is that not only is she an Old Soul, but on top of this, and why Angelina can embody all the songs she sings, is cuz she is an Empath and has been ever since I first saw her talent, at 1 & 1/2 years young, singing jazz right out of the gate ....
I think she might be more than 7 in this video--the two teeth have grown in. Large crowd and nothing about her demeanor indicates anything would bother her at all. she is totally at ease
I would recommend her performance of the Adele hit "A million years ago" accompanied by Ivan on acoustic guitar. Every single video that the two of them have done together has been amazing--they really know how to listen to each other and have fun in the music. Concerning that particular performance, many have compared it favorably to Adele's own performances of the same piece.
Her voice seemed more tired than on the NGT version of this performance with some more creaks and cracks. Check that one out for fun...
You are right, it must be in heaven! Because there, I just heard an angel sing!
she was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 and you are adorable
One of her many charity performances, she raises millions for childrens charities especially, and today she raises money to feed the homeless in los Angeles.
Sabina no surprise you thought Angelina was 7 years old since on AGT they said she was 7 when she won NGT. Surprised Angelina went along with that little white lie. She was 7 when she auditioned singing Gloomy Sunday then turned 8 before her final 3 performances. Here is a part of a biography I compiled about Angelina.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
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, Farci, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. 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.
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 befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no 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.” 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 so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. 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 asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 year old.
preview her singing What a Difference a Day Makes a jazz classic that ANGELINA performs perfectly at 8 years. One of her top 10
Sabina, you really "get" Angelina---all the places where words are inadequate.
That girl has a natural talent that blows my mind!!!! We should call her Angelic Angelina Jordan.
She has!!
Hee, hee! Let's add another four A s the Absolutely Astoundingly Awesome Amazing Angelic Angelina Jordan
I agree with that!!!!!!!
@@sabina1118 Hi Sabina, here is a pre link to Angelinas new single comin tomorrow ua-cam.com/video/aYvCcr3mDGs/v-deo.html
Angelina is not *_in_* the music, she *_is_* the music, or perhaps the music is in her.
I don't know, maybe it's just *_all music_* when she enters the stage.
Sublime Devine Perfection.
Major cray cray
So dedicated and professional. It's natural for her, like she was born to deliver a message to us all...."She is"
When she was on AGT Angelina said she was 7 yo when she Norway Has Talent.
There is literally no song sung by Angelina that would not be worthy to react to. Even her rehearsals and interviews are worthy. You have found not only a singer you have found a true vocal artist and a human destined to be an historical subject for many generations to come. There are hundreds of videos documenting her life from her first notes recorded at eighteen months of age to the present. You will spend many hours being astounded by Angelina Jordan Astar.
Absolutely!!
This was shortly after she won NGT when she was 8. She sang it in the finals of NGT in a different way with a lot more rasp & vibrato. But if you want smooth, you should hear her smooth version with full orchestra when she was 10 yo. ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html Each version is different, each one is amazing. She is once-in-a-lifetime!!!
8 years old in this one. After you have done some of the other great works of Angelina, be sure to swing back around to the version of this song she did at 10 years old too. It's a little different arrangement done with a soft orchestra backing. But before that you have lots of other sons to explore. I highly recommend going to her "cover channel" and selecting any of the videos that you see with just her and a guitar player in the thumbnail. These are all stripped back, intimate settings where her voice really shines.
im simply so enchanted by Angelina..... i only " found" her a few days ago.. but i have the need... no im compelled to binge watch her performences.. she's a godess
Every time you listen to a song over and over and that is all the time they seem new each time you listen I am hooked
Wow - I've never seen THIS performance... her Norske Talent is a canned-orchestra with a solo trumpeter - very nice. Then there's an indoor day-time gathering with a full orchestra - sooooo sublime. Thanks for bringing this Third Version to my attention, and thanks for your comments.
Angelina listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's version over and over again to produce her own "Summertime" selection. The musicians whether in studio or on stage call her "The Boss".
She is the artist she should be the boss!
PS, we are proud of our little Angelina here in Norway!
No wonder!!
Thanks for being back with Angelina again and for your wonderful reaction, Sabina. This interpretation is from the summer of 2014 in Norway, after the NGT, in a romantic sunset concert where her soft and warm voice softly spreads over the bay behind her. One of the NGT judges at his first performance with Glooming Sunday expressed a beautiful judgment, said "You are the Music" which I think is the most succinct and perfect fact about Angelina. 🤗 ❤️
See also her other splendid interpretation of "Summertime" at 10, with a classical orchestra and a slightly slower tempo, ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html
You can see also the new live version released three weeks ago of her original Million Miles in B / W, it's simply stunning.
ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html
You don't have to worry, you can face Angelina's songs in many ways, chronologically, randomly, out of simple curiosity or for songs you prefer, it will always be a street full of pleasant surprises and splendid interpretations. 🤗
We all know what you are trying to say. We have the same problem. Watching reactors look for words is part of the fun.
I think your expressions say everything! Angelina is a genius! I prefer Summertime in Norway Got Talent, at finals, extremely tecnical! Congratulations, I enjoy so much your opinions.
Yes she is extraordinary. But even at this age, in front of a huge audience, she is completely at ease and in total control. you mention the adult band members who I am sure recognize how fortunate they are to be sharing the stage with this once in a lifetime vocal artist. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Can't wait for more.
I always remember the story of when the woman told Angelina she made her cry. Angelina apologized but the woman said it wasn't necessary and told her she loved to hear her sing. I believe at that moment Angelina, although confused, began to understand the effect she was having on people when she sang to them. And, that realization has grown to where it is today.
“Organic” perfect! Great reaction!! One of my favorites from Angelina.
Know what you are trying to say? Sabina, you have an absolutely beautiful way with words. You painted a perfect, poignant image of what we were seeing that made us (or at least me) see different aspects of tthe performance and overall experience than I saw on my own. You did the same in your first (double) reaction, and this is something about you that makes you unique as a reactor.
Here are some of the comments you made that resonated with me.
- You talked about the "magic of the setting"; the ocean, the setting sun, late summer feel and the natural, warmth, organic feel it provided. It may seem like a simple observation but it is important and sets that stage for what is to come.
- You described her performance as "soft, warm and beautiful". Really poignant words, not words I would have come up with but they are perfect.
- You talked about her presence and particularly how she is so "in the music". You came back to this theme a few times. It is such an important observation. Angelina's ability to connect with the song she is singing is fundamental to her ability to communicate that meaning and emotion to her audience so brilliantly.
- I have never heard anyone use the words "organic and natural" to describe her but, again, they are perfect and capture an idea that I've had in my head for probably the full year since I discovered her, but was never able to properly articulate.
- You noted the combination of her age and child-like vulnerability, innocence on the one hand with and old jazzy soulful voice (and I would add stage presence), how it is remarkable to see these, extremes come together in one artist.
- You noted the juxtaposition of Angelina's youth with amazing, grown-up, talented artists with whom she performs in perfect harmony. Having seen so many performances by her, we come to expect this and it just seems normal. But it really isn't. It's extraordinary.
- And maybe my favourite of all the observations you made: that being so good at such an early age strongly suggests that found the right thing for her, that she has discovered what she was meant to do. That's such a beautiful thought, and aligns with things Angelina herself has said since she was very young.
In addition to all these lovely thoughts, your expressions convey a lot without being (like many others) over-the-top.
All in all it is simply a joy to watch you react to Angelina.
Incidentally, she has an absolutely spectacular version of this song, a few years older, with the prestigious KORK orchestra in Norway. It also has a beautiful ambiance, albeit in a different way. You might want to give it a listen on your own or when you show this one Henry(?). From a pure vocal perspective, the KORK performance is my favourite performance of hers (or anyone's) of that song. Absolutely spellbinding. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html
Sorry for the rambling reaction. Thank you for coming back to Angelina and I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that I hope you continue to react to our barefoot princess. Take care and have a wonderful new year!
David Bang on with your comment about her Summertime performance with KORK!
Beyond her technical ability, her pacing discipline and her unmatched ability to convey emotion is her (to me) mind blowing level of comfort performing in front of thousands without even a hint of unease.
Yes, that is mindblowing. I read somewhere that Angelina supposedly once asked her teacher to explain the word 'nervous' because she had never had that feeling. 🤪
One of my favorite Angelina moments was when she sang this song on Norway's Got Talent. After the song, one of the judges, Bjarte Hjelmeland, started off his commentary by saying, "It's no use, Angelina, how often you say 'Don't you cry' I just can't control myself. That got a little laugh from Angelina that was priceless.
Angelina has what I call a "Comfortable Confidence" , and it shows in her simple (yet complex) delivery of every song she sings.
I appreciate that you do not interrupt with verbal comments during the performance, but the comments that appear on the screen are just fine, and not distracting. This all makes it much more enjoyable for at least this listener. Also like your thoughtful comments after the video has played. Although I've heard Angelina sing this song at least 50 times at a minimum, I'd never once seen this version. The setting was beautiful, as you noted. Cheers.
Angelina is shocking and awesome. Even when her voice seems to crack, it is beautiful. Angelina has many different voices and each is wonderful, shocking and awesome. You can try any of her songs and you will be shocked over and over again.
You will never be disappointed with Angelinas talent. She is in a category all her own.
Sabina, I'm so happy you have let Angelina touch your heart. There are two other Summertime performances. The finals in the NGT Show and the other one is singing with a full orchestra. Sabina, there is a lot for you to listen to. One of my favorite is What A Difference A Day Makes.
When you combine ultimate versatility and excellence, there is truly
no other singer who can match her abilities in so many different
genres.........but 'deep down' she's a jazz singer !
In performances over time of a particular song, there are variations of course. Angelina’s performance of “Summertime” on NGT highlighted her jazzy style vibrato and vocal fry-it was over the top as performances go. As time passes, Angelina’s performances tend to be smoother, more refined, more sophisticated. I feel that is what is happening in this bayside performance. There are many other instances of this among the dozens and dozens of her UA-cam recordings. It seems to me she follows her instincts and feelings in the moment, playing with her voice and all her techniques in any given performance. She is consistent within a performance, but over time she continues to develop her style and later instances of the same song tend to become more sophisticated, more melodious, and more evocative.
I thought I’d pretty much seen everything Angelina has sung, but I never saw this video of Summertime. I’ve watched two other versions many, many times including the amazing NGT version. What comes through is that Angelina is truly a jazz singer. Each version is different. The basics are there, of course, but where she goes with individual lines and phrases shows the vocal freedom that jazz allows-and Angelina flows with that.
Yes, Yellow Brick Road is a must-see. Her voice is magical, but watch how Angelina mesmerizes the huge audience at the first line. Her connection is instantaneous because we see her interpreting the song so authentically and personally. What you haven’t seen yet, though, is Angelina with just a mic and an acoustic guitar backing her. That set-up gives you Angelina’s voice full-throttle, and you can hear every nuance in her delivery. Her covers of Adele are stunning. “A Million Years Ago” is one of those acoustic gems where you realize that Angelina, even at 11 years old, is in a different league than other singers. In Summertime that you just watched, Angelina is an amazing child singer. With “A Million Years Ago”, three years later, you realize that you’re listening to one of the best singers you’ve ever heard-period.
I’ve loved your reactions pre-Angelina, but now I really look forward to you reviewing more of her songs. I think you’re hooked.
She says that when she sings she enters another world where she is an home and secure. So she is never nervous when she sings. Actually nervous it seems is something she never does. She is never not singing, really, so she is in paradise.
Forget about her vocals for a moment and consider how she even knew how to approach this type of song at her age? That's what stands out for me .
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
How about her cover of “stay“, or “A million years ago“, or “ California dreaming“?
Well look at you. You just listed three of my all time favorites. All three posted within a month of each other, not long after she got this fantastic Neumann Microphone for her 12th birthday. And all three with just Ivan Mendes on the acoustic guitar. I'll give the links below:
"Stay" ua-cam.com/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/v-deo.html Wonderful song by Rihanna, but I much prefer Angelina's version.
"A Million Years Ago" ua-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/v-deo.html Terrific song by Adele, and many believe performed better by Angelina (including me).
"California Dreamin'" ua-cam.com/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/v-deo.html My all time favorite Angelina performance. What she has done with this classic pop song is MAGNIFICENT!!
Stay is my number one Angelina's performance.
This is one of the most incredible things I have ever witnessed in my lifetime, great reaction.
Thanks a lot! 😍❤️
I suggested last time to do Angelina's "What A Difference A Day Makes" she is 8 in this also, would be fun to have your friend blindfolded for the beginning and ask her the approximate age of the singer then take off the blindfold unless you already told her about Angelina then it would not work, but just a thought.
Yes, we all understand exactly what you're saying, we've all been there. That "WOW" moment when you hear her for the first time (and second and third and....).
Angelina has several videos of her performing Summertime, it was her winning performance on NGT: ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html, and my personal favorite is her singing with Kork, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra: ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html. Another of my favorites is her performance with the Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces singing "It's a Man's World", where the conductor starts shaking his head in disbelief as to what he's hearing midway through. That one is definitely worthy of a reaction:)
Yeah, this was the summer after her NGT triumph, so she was eight. I wonder sometimes if this was when her voice was changing. I can't detect it in later years. She sang "Summertime" again, beautifully as always, with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra two years later. Later that year, on a rooftop in Oslo, she sang a marvelous version of Cole Porter's 1944 classic, "Every Time We Say Goodbye". It's one of my favorite songs that she's sung. ua-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/v-deo.html
Love this too. It‘s also absolute smooth and relaxing ❤️
Yes One of my favourites !
@@GregPourciau Yes, one of my 132 favorites 😂
I love Every time also fave is Feeling Good which is awesome.
Yes, near top of my playlist.
Back then, she always wore flowers in her hair and barefooted and curtsied after singing. No more! She is great though! And you are gorgeous, I love you Sabina!!!
as a 6yr old child she sings I WHO HAVE NOTHING in a studio . see if you can watch it without smiling . 6yrs old amazing . Born to Die cover also , but so many .
Amazing Angelina
SHE IS PURE MUSIC PERSONIFIED....GENIUS AND HUMBLE.... SHE IS REALLY REÀLLY GREAT!!! THANKS FOR YOUR NICE REACTION......✌
Thank you for reacting to Angelina! She is for sure something special.
The recording was made for the live televised midsummer night celebrations (St. Hansaften) in the evening/early night of Jun 23, 2014 at Vollen, just outside Oslo, Norway. The program was a charity program for the Norwegian Association for Sea Rescue. It was her first televised performance after she won Norway got Talent exactly one month earlier. The band which accompanied her is Hans (Aarset) Orkester, which has accompanied Angelina several times later too, during other tv-performances. Talking about how Angelina seems to be at her right place singing/performing, you should check out her rendition of "What a difference a day make" recorded just a few days later, with the same band. It is my personal favorite from those early performances. ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
And yes, being at the beach in Norway during those incredible light evenings and nights midsummer can be paradisiacal in itself... Add Angelina's performance and aura to it..... "Heaven, I'm in heaven!"
Angelina is the most complete young artist we have in the world today! Many who sing well, but we can ask them if they can switch credibly between jazz, edm, pop, country, and classical music in no time. In addition to her beautiful voice, you also have a unique communication ability. After Angelina has sung a cover song, I rather continue on her and forget the original artist. And she's still only 15 years old.
Thanks, Sabina - she is extraordinary -- pure talent.. incredibly self-possessed - and also - English is not her first language -- and - in "Spell" - how could this child "channel" Screamin' Jay Hawkins?? I just. can't...
It amuses me that everyone nitpicks about her age haha. The fact is at any age this girl is amazing . Great reaction btw. Thanks
Rockland No one nitpicks about her age. It's called awe.
Just subscribe to your channel for lots more Angelina Jordan reaction and thank you Sabina for your wonderful reaction see you next time, smile.
Nice Sabina.My best wishes for this new year.
So many singers try to exist on stage...and over do it.....AJ she is
just THERE.... and she takes you with her ..as simple as that.

Angelina is as authentic as it gets. She is a once in a generation talent.
when she was younger, she always wore flowers in her hair and barefooted and always curtsied at the end, there is no more of that now. She is still wonderful, and her rendition of "unchained Melody" is fantastic. But she never sang again like she did at 8 years with "I put a spell on you" that was truly amazing.
frank She is still always barefoot when she performs live and always curtsies at the end. She sang I Put a Spell when she was 9.
Angelina's voice is so soothing. Everything she sings seems to emote a feeling of calm. I love it. There are many of her songs to listen to so just play and react to more, please!!
Loved your commentary - such a beautiful setting, and Angelina was there to remind us that all is well with the world (at that time and place)....
Hi Sabina! We know exactly what you are trying to say because we also feel the same with Angelina. Sometimes it's so overwhelming you just don't find the words. But you expressed your feelings beautifully.
Angelina has said many times that early in life she KNEW that all she wanted was to sing. At 7 years old she asked her mother to enter her into the Norway's Got Talent competition. She's that fearless, that confident in herself and yet amazingly humble. You can appreciate all that when you see her standing in front of that huge crowd just singing her heart out, as cool as a cucumber.
Her family has been very supportive of her dream and given the fact that her grandmother was also a painter child prodigy, they understand her, they get her. She has grown up surrounded by these amazing musicians that also understand that they are not playing with a child, that they are playing with an extraordinary musician. And I say musician because she has taken part of all the arrangements of every song she performs.
You should see her singing at the Alan Walker "Coming Home" concert, in front of a huge orchestra she didn't even see and not missing one beat at 10 years old!!! AMAZING!
At 11
Cry me a River jazz version with trombone accompaniment
Dear Sabina 🌷 Angelina looks like a little woodland fairy. I closed my eyes to listen just so I can “see” the song differently. She has a whiskey voice is best I can describe her. I love this video because I can see Norway in the summertime. Thank you for this wonderful review. 🤗
Very beautiful performance Angelina is above her talents I sense she has raised the talent bar to the next universe very glad that she shares her talents to this world I hope this planet will appreciate Angelina jordan thanks for sharing her talents to this world!!!
wow I am a hard core Angelina fan and I have never watched this performance. wow.
I’m glad you have now!!
Neither do I
Thx Sabina
At first I was disappointed that it wasn't the NGT performance but I hadn't seen this performance before and it was wonderful.
Thanks for finding this one for us.
t must have been soon after she won NGT, she looks to be 8yo I would think.
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s crazy, 8 y/o
wooo moar angelina jordan!
Thank you, and you're welcome!! :D
And also, that is why I love watching lovelies like you and Henri reacting to Dimash and AJ as well, as YOU guys are MY re-reaction of the first time seeing them..warms my heart all over again :)
Let Henri starts right from the begining, with Angelina's first appearence in Norways Got Talent. There is a "Reincarnation of old souls" component in this video. Then you can proceed with Amira Willighagen with the video "O Mio Babbino Caro" from the Hollands Got Talent. And also check for Alma Deutscher. She is the Mozart's reincarnation on steroids.
De verdad uno no cree que pueda ser cierto, la voz, el escenario lo tiene controlado es increíble está niña
Thank you so much for your reaction of Angelina Jordan. It was a nice reaction.
My pleasure!! 🤗❤️
A Million Miles is her first song she wrote for republic records. Excellent song
beautiful warm loving comments to asong of songs rendered by genius
You should listen to her two other versions of this song to hear how her immersion into the moment affects each rendition of a song. It's never the same because the experience of each moment is unique
Sabina when can I hear you sing? I think that you are an amazing person ❤!
Here her sing feeling good and What a wonderful World and ride me to the moon Angelina Jordan
I have watched this performance from Angelina dozens of times . In my top 5 all time of Angelinas performances.
First time I have heard her voice give out.
So much soul in such a little person.
Yees!!
Your point about Angelina attracting grown, highly talented musicians to accompany her at such a young age was something I also thought about the first time I saw her live performance of "Feelin' Good." ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html The musicians backing her must have been happy/grateful/delighted/overjoyed to find someone so outstanding as to bring them new opportunities to exercise/play/take advantage of their years of work to become such masterful musicians. Just imagine -- you as an adult get to shine on music you love b/c of a little girl. I was gratified to see that several of the players seen in this clip went on to perform with her at many other concerts in subsequent years.
Beautiful reaction! Loved it. What better way to end your day than with that beautiful little Angel closing it out. She has such away about her that can really dive right into your heart.
Enjoy the ride Sabina. My mother was a professional singer in the Big Band Era, and was famous. She gave it all up to raise
A big family. She would have fallen in love with Angelina, and my mom sang very sultry, and deep with the emotion needed to perform with the amazing bands she sang for. You give heart felt reactions, and I wish you well. Happy New Year, and keep doing the reactions of Angelina, and your followers will grow big time
I watch Angelina Jordan every day... Love her
You should try California Dreaming or Wicked Game, as these are ones where Angelina has re-engineered the songs to what she thinks they should be. I’m enjoying your reactions.
Loved your reaction as.always to our Angel Sabina 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙 there are too many young singers who came along in last few years and they all are sensational with amazing future ahead of them but this girl angelina she is just something else apart from all
Thank you for another grand reaction to Angelina. You have the same problem as many other Reactors and, indeed, to many of her most ardent fans. That is trying to find the appropriate words to describe Angelina's talent. After struggling for a long, long time I suddenly realised that there are no words in a thesaurus to adequately cover all bases, so have decided that "Angelina" - her name alone - is the only way to describe everything about her.
In just two days time, on 10 Jan 2021 she will celebrate her 15th birthday and ask you to feature her on your channel on that day. There are many videos from which to choose but as a special favour may I ask you to consider reacting "Million miles" her emotional original song, written as a tribute to the death of her grandfather and to offer comfort to all those who have lost a loved one. If you have reacted to this video already, so you may wish to choose something else. Whatever you choose, it is important you feature in on her birthday.
You have the choice of two editions:
The original lyrics video at: ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html
and her live performance at: ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html
Love your reactions. Tks
Thanks! 🤗❤️
i think Angelina was around 10 in this video and you could hear how more developed and powerful her voice was becoming
This is only one month after her finale at NGT, June 2014 😊
Her vibrato is quite similar to the NGT performance, which she matured a bit, later that year.
@@sarlina1 your right but i think in that case she was 8 when the finals ended.
@@dakotaconners107 Yes, right. She was 8 in her final 3 performances at NGT. 7 only at her first, Gloomy Sunday.
Essential current female artists: Floor Jansen, Aurora, Angelina Jordan, Diana Ankudinova.
Add Grace Vanderwaal
Aurora is also Norwegian 😀
I don't know there quite a few more that I like kinda a mixture and I'm leaving out the Asian singers but here you go: Diana Ankudinova, Daneliya Tuleshova, Angelina Jordan ,Courtney Hadwin, Allie Sherlock, Angelica Hale,Charlotte Summers,(Mimi and Josie) ,Martha and Lucy Thomas, Emily Linge,Celine Tam, Lucy Thomas, Chevel Shepard, Emi Sunshine ,TNT Boys, Kennedy Holmes all are young upcoming talents (this one is really young only 7 Claire Crosby singer and already been in a movie and try Grace Vanderwaal won AGT at 12-13 ) Opera try Amira Willighagen won Hollands got talent 7-8, Laura Bretan ,Beau Dermott ,Emanne Beasha . Bands try "The Warning Band" and "Liliac" and "The Petersons" all young family bands and " The Sixsters" and "Dea Matroni" from Ireland .Also try these a ventriloquist Darci Lynn Farmer and a violinist/singer Karolina Protsenko.
I know I said this to you before but you're the only reactor that will not interrupt the singing that's why you are my favorite reactor and I love your analysis to please keep doing them you're so good at it thank you
Yellow brick road Bohmian Rhapsody I put spell on You ....
❤️
Just like Edvard Grieg, she's a Norwegian musical treasure.
She is so good!
Nice reaction. She is sooo easy to listen to. As mentioned in the comments there are other versions of this song. It's always great. Some prefer her with slowed down orchestra version. I prefer NGT. You don't have to react but you should check them out. Any where you go works for me. Feeling Good, At Last, Every Time We Say Goodbye, I'd Rather Go Blind, Stay, A Million Years Ago, I Have Nothing, her original Shield or What Is Life are just some of my 80-90 favorites. She really is special. Hoping for more.
This is not her Norske Talenter final song, but a different version. It is still fabulous. But the one you are looking for is the Norway's got talent version to see where she really comes from. I believe she's about 10 here.
This is June 2014 so she is still 8...
I love the soul type almost highlife music you play in the background, when reacting to Angelina. But as to Angelina, I see this plainly when I see such talent like hers, which is that not only is she an Old Soul, but on top of this, and why Angelina can embody all the songs she sings, is cuz she is an Empath and has been ever since I first saw her talent, at 1 & 1/2 years young, singing jazz right out of the gate ....
Summertime was one of the songs Norway's got talent !!!
I think she might be more than 7 in this video--the two teeth have grown in. Large crowd and nothing about her demeanor indicates anything would bother her at all. she is totally at ease
23. June 2014 in Vollen, Asker (Norway)
I hadn't seen this one. Just incredible....
✔️Out - Angelina 🎶 CRAZY📌
I would recommend her performance of the Adele hit "A million years ago" accompanied by Ivan on acoustic guitar. Every single video that the two of them have done together has been amazing--they really know how to listen to each other and have fun in the music. Concerning that particular performance, many have compared it favorably to Adele's own performances of the same piece.
Love your reactions, thank you.
