![No Way She's 11!! | Angelina Jordan "I'm A Fool To Want You" [REACTION]](/img/tr.png)
Angelina started singing at the age of 6 in the studio, she was born on January 10, 2006 in Norway, she won the Norvege got talent at the age of 7, she wrote a book at the age of 6. She plays the piano, the guitar, she makes her own arrangements and since then she sings jazz, blues, old soul and even hip hop. She has already composed 3 songs, music and lyrics arrangements, and she has made several covers of different singers, she has a unique voice, a perfect control of her voice, runs, belts, riffs and many other musical specificities, she is called the barefoot princess, and it's even the story of her book in which she tells this story, she has already raised 20 million dollars for neglected children, her grandmother is a Norwegian painter, and Angelina, holds a microphone since she was 1 and a half years old, she listened to a lot of jazz, old soul singers, that her grandmother made her listen to because it was what she liked. She makes these covers, she makes them her own and it's beautiful. She was also at Americain got talent the Champions, she sang her version of Bohemian Rapsody by Queen. She is phenomenal, we can't get enough when she sings, she takes us with her in this wonderful world that she tells us, I am 72 years old, and I don't spend a day without listening to her, I've been following her for 4 years. She is a gift from the universe and I'm sure that the universe gave birth to her, so that she could also hear the enchantment of her voice I love you Angelina, thank you for giving us this gift, especially during these difficult years, you know how to soothe those who hear your voice, all of us need in these difficult times, to hear and have moments of peace and love, which you do not fail to offer us each time you sing, Thank you, may God keep you long. xxx from Quebec, Canada and I agree with you 200%.
marielle For someone following her for 4 years, I'd think you would be more informed of your facts. She started singing at around age 3. She won NGT at age 8. She might have started writing her book at age 6, but it wasn't finished nor published until she was 9. She has composed 5 original songs and had 2 written for her. With about 175 songs on YT, she has covered over 80 artists. Her grandma is a notable Iranian painter and poet. Angelina has helped to raise far more than $20 million for underprivileged children and environmental causes.....I don't have the patience to make more corrections. But let me say that posting mis-information benefits no one; except maybe you and your ego.
@@103mrg Sorry that you think that about me, I've done the trick, it's only date errors, I did my best, in fact, I think you took me for a mirror. Have a nice day anyway.
She is a true prodigy. Truly re-incarnated, she is Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse and Elvis Presley all in one. She was 12 years old here, just unreal.
"I'm a Fool To Want You" was introduced by the great Frank Sinatra, first in 1950, on Columbia Records, a beautiful Alex Stordahl accompaniment, then Sinatra recorded it again, on Capitol Records, in a haunting, yet more restrained version.
Oddly enough, Billie Holiday made it hugely famous by recording it with Ray Ellis and his Orchestra in one of her last recording sessions. Though her voice has the scars of time and a difficult life in it, hers is a performance to give you shivers.
You must experience all of these, then talk about this beautifully gifted girl who has yet to experience the very essence of the materials' depth. I would love to hear Angelina sing the song when she is slightly more mature.
She fell in love with the jazz greats listening to her Grandma Mery’s record collection.
Her grandmother is a famous Iranian poet and paint9 artist. They were in poor country visiting when she was 6 yr old. They saw a kid her age weighing people in the streets for money. She talked with her, she was barefoot with scars on her feet and it was cold. AJ gave her the boots she was wearing. AJ shared she wanted to sing for the world the girl wanted to be a doctor but had to her money for her siblings, they were orphaned. She said she pray for AJ who sings barefoot to bring awareness of needy kids. She has done concerts to raise money for kids and the environment. Beautiful soul and voice. She publis6a book about the experience when she was 9 yrs old.
if this was what you were exposed too during your young life much of jazz, music of these eras you would be influenced to the greats such as Ella, Billie H etc. Two things happened here... born with her unique sound (VOICE), her parenting with much exposure to many art forms and she just sings like liquid gold, She holds me captive to a storey of each song, even when i am not a fan of the song it just becomes easy to appreciate her story to tell. I have never gotten goose bumps and reduced to tears by anyone until i came across this babe.
what we are witnessing here is precisely what allows Angelina to master everything on stage, part of her brain sings admirably, the other part listens to her environment!!!
Without Billy holiday there would be no Angelina, she fell in love with her sound Angelina has always been ahead of her time, she's like a time traveler, she's the Truth brudda 🤙
I really like what you said. Angelina gives our brain a rest, away from the everything in the world. We hear nothing but her voice. 🌺
Angalena is an undeniable prodigy, she speaks 4 languages published a book at 8, plays piano flute and violin and aranges and composes all her music, Angalina is a gift to the world.
Her singing at 1 1/2 years old is what alerted her Grandma.
She had an eclectic grandmother who exposed her to the jazz classics when she was in the cradle. It is said, she started to sing along at 1 and half? She also grew up in Norway, where the country encourages early development in the arts(singing, painting, etc.) To cap everything else, she had a supportive and protective family unit. BTW since you have 2 daughters, you ought to see her UA-cam videos of 'Angelina and her baby sister, Juliette'. She sings to, plays with and even tries to teach her how to sing. Great stuff to watch on the side to give you insight on her family relationships. Aloha
AJ is in fact a beautiful rest from the world. Great reaction.
Empress of Jazz! Empress of Jazz!
EMPRESS OF JAZZ!!!
The Power of NOW...how perfect. That's exactly where she brings me too. I wonder if Eckhart has the same reaction. :-)
Singing from age 1½years is a hard act to follow. Her passion for Jazz and Soul and the Blues is part of her DNA.
Beyond any words.
As someone who’s bipolar, with a mind that never stops, I think that’s exactly the reason why I love AJ so much. My mind turns off, literally. Left in a trance that’s so calming and so peaceful.
Every time I see or listen to Angelina, I see that little 7 year old having her dream come true. There’s nothing better than a happy child. I think that’s why I get emotional.
Sebs, too many questions to answer !!!:)::) But, what I will offer is that listening to Angelina is a wonderful experience but, it doesn't end there. She is also drawing you into a beautiful world and you can feel her love in your heart. And, Sebs, the feeling will never go away. In fact, it will get stronger and stronger and you will soon understand she is inspiring you to be the best you can be as a human being.
Btw, that was her grandma at the very end of the video. They are inseparable.
The girl is just the best
She is outstanding
The comments are truely amazing ,,,, everyone is touched on a deep and meaningful level. My emotions are filled with tears and love that overwhelms me on such a wondrous level . That voice! HER voice,,,,, coming through to touch so many hearts,,,,, healing , inspiring,,,, Call me crazy , many probably will,,, but i feel she came through to us along another dimension,,,, a truely gifted soul.
Anyone singing the legendary Billie Holiday songs has to be brave, very brave, Andra Day ( Rise up fame ) in 2021 film The United States vs Billie Holiday did an amazing job and such a great film, Diana Ross did it in 1972 in Lady Sings the Blues, truly brilliant, but Angelina just has that style that takes it to a new level, a spiritual dimension. She is destined to be one of the All Time Greats for sure. Loving your dedication and reactions.
Can U tell she’s ready the words of the song off her phone!! She’s absolutely amazing!!😊
Her grandmother has a lot of influence and encouragement. She start singing from age 18 months. Mostly jazz cause that is what her grandmother listened to.
I gave you my subscribe for the Angelina Jordan please there is so much more... Please do more I enjoy your reactions I enjoy watching people discover her she is other worldly.
I am floored every time I hear her sing. She is so humble and a sweet human being. I stop everything when she sings... I am completely captivated by her talent
The lady at the of video his Angelina grandmother. Angelina a lot time with grandmother. Growing up her grandmother introduced to jazz. That is why she loves jazz. When was 7 and audition for Norway got talent. Her mother wanted her to you know some kids songs. She refused and wanted to sing jazz. They have the video out showing all performance on Norway got talent. With translations remember English is not her first language.
Sebs, I’ll only speak for myself when I say, I have never encountered another vocalist that has had the overwhelming and profound affect on me that Angelina has. I have come to deeply respect, admire and adore and even love everything about Angelina. She is one of the finest human beings walking this planet. She is a gift to mankind that must be cherished and protected.
The world would be a far better place if we all emulate the kind of outstanding and loving person Angelina is. I have no doubt that she is a divinely gifted angel from on high. It explains her other worldly talents. She is incomparable. I know of no other female vocalist that has Angelina’s unique lower register and hyper sensitive intuition. My life has been enriched since I discovered Angelina nearly three years ago. I never go a day without listening to this wonderful angel sing.
Ditto. At 86 I have never experienced the love of a voice as much. I MUST get my daily fix of AJ every day. You need to go down the Angel rabbit hole. From her Norways got talent to learn the wonderful life story
You
Then I'm down, tired...all I have to do is put on Angelina Jordan singing...her voice gives me immediate energy/ vibration/ frequency higher and I can accomplish a lot . Since I discovered that I did my research and convinced that her singing is 5 Dimension. So Angelina Jordan is my magic energy/ frequency increase, beautiful, soulful performer.
Thank herGradma Merry,who was aProdigy hersel coul see the potential had and gave JA and gave her jazz and music of all kind.I don’t think Angelina would be She is Without eachother Frances from Scotlandxx
@@fredsardella8262 Based on my own experiences I am convinced that a great many people who are suffering from depression and anxiety should experience the unique healing affect that listening to Angelina sing has. IMO, Angelina is a divinely gifted person. I’m in my late sixties and I thank God that I discovered Angelina, one of the finest human beings walking this planet.
she got into it from listening to it with her grandmother Mery. Her first love for music was that time with her grandmother. So recreating that type of music is a love back to Mery from her, it's a beautiful thing.
I've said many times that the more you listen to Angelina the better person you become. You know it too. You've realized you're treating your daughters better. I guess she's such a beautifully grounded human being that we see our flaws more clearly and are also more motivated to fix them. Or maybe she's magic.
Sebs, don't worry about what you have to say about Angelina. Your expressions while watching give us your true reaction to her. I listen to her every day and love to see others who discover her and are amazed.
She is from a whole different country, Norway. They do not live as we live in the States. The flowers and hair are part of their culture, customs. ....Thank you
Angelina’s grandmother Mary Zamani is an Iranian artist - Angelina wore an outfit with grandmother’s art in Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina was introduced to Jazz by her grandmother when she was 1 1/2 yr old & is a jazz prodigy. Angelina is signed with Republic Records & I think when she becomes 18 she will be a superstar📌
For me I feel like her older brother. Like no one will ever hurt her or they will pay the price.
A real joy to witness your joy
The elderly lady you saw at the end was her grandmother, Meri Zamani, who is a big jazz fan and introduced Angelina to the genre. She soaked it up like a sponge and the rest, as they say, is history. The flowery headgear is her iconic look, along with the white dress (she's changed now she's more grown up). The bare feet comes from a time when she gave her shoes to a poor girl her own age who was barefooted. Angelina swore to always sing barefoot until all children had shoes. Love the reaction. By the way, I recommend A Song For A if you really want to be blown away!
Say as Angelina🇧🇻 said finally in norwegian; it was very good👍
I love this and it seems rarely shared. Thanks for sharing! It shows more of her personality behind the scenes. And the fun she has singing.
Love watching you, watch her :)
Sebs… the reason you want to be a better dad since you started listening to Angelina is because she does that to people. Especially those who are open to receiving the soul touching love that she emotes. This young lady changes lives through her singing. Many people have said the same. I’m really enjoying your journey down the AJ rabbit hole. Thanks.
HERE ARE ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU RAISED! Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina.
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. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, 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 over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 167 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 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 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 will not want to escape. Peace and love.

what a wonderful job you did in writing this..... this was so true and accurate......
@@bruceclark133 thank you so much! There was an awful lot to say and I tried to condense it as much as possible.
Reverse studio performance was at age 6 at 7 just so you know
@@lonwolflonwolf6553 actually I thought it was at 6 but I was corrected by Rusty shackelford. She had already turned seven.
Sebs little girl is already getting behind the curve, have to start singing Whitney Houston songs at 1.5 years if you are going to keep up. Gotta be In the studio at 6 and performing live at 7. That's partly why she could compete with the best adult singers before she was a teen and outsings anyone singing any similar style at 16, including the jazz greats that inspired her. It is amazing that she has maintained a kind and charitable heart as beautiful or talented young girls so often become entitled and self-centered from all the attention they get.
I've really enjoyed your reactions to Angelina with your insights to her effect on people. Do yourself a favor and enjoy her for yourself apart from reactions.don't get burned out on Angelina fans.
Her technique is beyond her age.
I see your comments section has exploded! Holy cow! Loved the reaction, I am assuming you record these a day or two in advance and so many of your questions from your previous vids have been answered by now. Hopefully you have had a chance to read the biographies provided by Andy Schnell and several other dedicated fans. The answers for all of your questions are here in the comments. This community of fans is among, if not the best group out there. Angelina is able to touch our hearts and souls like no other, and we love her for sharing her gift with us.
From a previous interview, Angelina responded; "Because it is fun to sing for everybody and well...I just love to sing. And this is why our beloved Angelina never gets nervous when performing. She was born for it. I believe that she has taken on so many great artist songs is truly because she just loves singing and feels the music beyond our comprehension.
Angelina said in an interview with American songwriter , “I have to say if it wasn't for the unconditional love that came from Billie Holiday’s legendary music, there would not be Angelina Jordan today. I am very blessed today that her music found me very early, ” the thoughts of a 14 year old girl. 💯 *AJ* 💯
What an incredible statement !!
There is too much to comment about. Angelina has been singing since she was 1 1/2. When she was travelling abroad with her Grandmother who is Persian (as it was then) she saw a girl a little older than she was. She had no shoes. The girl was weighing people for money. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and said that she would never wear shoes again (when performing) until all of the children in the world had shoes. The girl told Angelina that she would pray for her. Angelina wrote a book about it when she was nine years old. She is the youngest published Author in Norway. She now lives in the USA. I am sure that you will receive many more comments and some of mine might be slightly wrong, but that is the gist of it.
@stevenceo Iran used to be called Persia in the olden days.
@@nikosmastrakoulis3377 People from Iran still refer to themselves as Persian.
Just stop and think about this, who does that? Who in history, in the bible, whatever? When has anyone ever literally given the shoes off their own feet to a needy person? Did Jesus even do that? And that's just the beginning, she then pledges to perform barefoot for the rest of her life, and goes on to raise millions of Euros to benefit the poor. It gives you a sense of the size of this girl's heart, and maybe a clue about why her voice effects us the way it does.
@@leechap3 True.
@stevenceo Yeah. probably.. sorry, I meant no offense.
She was born with the artistic part of her bratn enhanced, think about it she speaks 3 of 4 languages at 9 she published a book .she loves to sing jazz ,but can sing in almost any genre , and yet she is still a young child with many of those habits and actions of a child her age .enjoyed your reaction
Angelina is different from any singer I’ve ever heard. She has several unique qualities beyond her amazing voice. As you mentioned, when she sings, you just get lost in the performance. Audiences are stunned into quiet-you don’t know what she’ll do with the next line, and you want to hear it. Also, she delivers lyrics so clearly that you hear them in a way that you never did before. Her musicality is off the charts, as you saw in Bohemian Rhapsody. There are dozens of her songs that will blow you away. If you want to see how musically fearless she is, watch her amazing cover of Billie Jean. She pays tribute to Michael, but it’s 100% Angelina.
Sebs did a reaction to that one already.
@@leechap3 Thanks, I missed that. Ive deleted that part of my comment.
@@johnvasi I think he'd be a good candidate to go on Wrapped in a Warm Blanket.
This is like a time machine going back to when my parents were young in the forties. Only a true prodigy could do this and that Angelina is.
I had to comment again after hearing your final comments.. man that is so right on about how When Angelina sings, you just stop thinking and just get lost in her voice and yes so awe inspiring. Thanks for your down to earth reactions.
"Is she a hippie?" Hahaha! Yeah, she went to a Waldorf school. So, I guess you could say that. She is pure joy and embodies the musical spirit
Psychologists will talk about head and heart as two distinctly different aspects of experience. Angelina's performance skill and amazing voice taps directly into our heart, and pushes the pause button on our head. You're left with an incredibly deep experience based in heart/feeling, and your head/reasoning is simply spinning in a small circle and can only say "wait, what?" You're not alone my friend. Even the most talented vocal coaches that I've seen react to Angelina have trouble explaining the "wait, what?" factor. There's just so much incredibleness about what she does and how she seems to just "be music". She inspires all of us to be better humans through the impact to our heart. What a rare gift she is.
To stay in the head&heart category: Angelina is a perfect example for a person with a cool head and a hot heart (better, than other way round)
I follow you, when you say she gives you a rest for your soul.. In these troubled times more than ever.. I need her every night just to fall asleep to something beautiful..🤗
She was 11 , recording for her cd, It's Magic. And yes, it is magic.
I can't speak for others, but I don't watch "reaction videos" for the commentary, I watch for the expressions on the face of the reactor. I want to "see" that they are as in awe and loving it as I was the first time I heard her over 6 years ago. I largely stay away from vocal coaches/voice teachers and those that want to be, because of all the pauses and comments during the video. The older woman you saw at the end is Angelina's maternal Grandmother, Mery Zamani (a child prodigy herself as an artist and poet) introduced Angelina to Jazz at a very young age (2 or 3) and she has loved it ever since. The headpiece that Angelina is wearing and does so in MANY of her concerts, from my understanding is a Spring festival tradition in Norway.
I can understand why you shy away from some vocal coaches, as many concentrate on their cleverness rather than Angelina's performance. However, there are several I rate as worth watching, and I list three of them for your consideration. There are two reactions from each of them.

Your reaction was so beautiful. I've watched you do this same reaction many times but tonight you brought tears to my eyes. I understand how Angelina makes us feel so many different emotions. Her voice is soothing, exciting, tender. You are so thoughtful. I'm a 70 yr old grandmother who thought your reaction was so sweet and you always speak from your heart of Angelina as if she was your own daughter. Your daughters are very blessed to have you for a dad. And AJ is very fortunate to have you as one of her angels. God bless you.
Great reaction Sebs. Billie Holiday is Angelina's favorite jazz singer since she was around 3 years old. It's as if Billie Holiday is reincarnated into this 11-year-old girl. This is one of the songs she recorded for her album " Its Magic", one of the top 10 best jazz albums
You see Angelina's Grandma Mery at the end of the video. She exposed Angelina to Jazz at a very early age (1 to 7 yrs) by playing the Jazz classics like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Nina Simone, Dinah Washington plus more.
When she won Norway's Got Talent, she sang 2 Billie Holiday songs, this one, acapella, and "Gloomy Sunday" at age 7. She won by singing Louis Armstrong/ Ella Fitzgerald's Jazz classic "Summertime"
They are not hippies. In Norway Excel a tradition for young girls to wear flowers in their hair. In many of her younger performances she wears Flowers in her hair.
As for not wearing no shoes when she performs, there's an heartwarming story explaining why when she was 6 years old. Andy Schnell has a detailed account of how that occurred
In fact Angelina wrote a book about her counter with the young girl and became Norway's youngest publisher at the age of 9.
Looking forward to many more reactions to Angelina Jordan.
The "Angelina Effect"....she literally changes your life. Norwegian cultural thing with the hairpiece. Notice it's a bit Christmasy. Not hippies, lol. 18 months old they heard her singing along to Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You. It pretty much started from there. 18 months old, having memorized lyrics, in a different language, singing on pitch, in time, expertly handling a microphone, with 'stage presence' from her crib. If you saw that in your child, I suspect you'd know you had something special on your hands. Prodigy, genius, empath, mature, all wrapped up in a beautiful little package waiting to be opened to the world. None of this was forced on her. Everything she's done was HER desire. Her parents have simply complied with her wishes, while still trying to let her enjoy her childhood and getting her education....
Admitelo te quedaste sin palabras para definir a este maravilloso ser en tan espectacular y magistral actuación !! Angelina Jordán !! Si señor 👏👏👍
She does these kinds of songs because she's been here before. 🦶☝️😍😍🤯
The world needs this so, bring back these amazing classics.
Angelina style..... its a part of her soul..... you gotta check out fly mento the moon Summertime, gloomy sumday. Daddy one of the best things you can give you girls is music.
Dance with them to songs like this. Echart Rocks.
Sonh suggestions from Nanna for your girls
Stevie wonder Isn't she lovely....
Do the bear at David Wilscox.....
I can see clearly now Jimmy Cliff.....
Get by with a little help from your friends...
Mr Joe Cocker...
Dam my kids are 41 and 38. I did daycare for 25yrs 2. I had 8 to 10 kids at a time. Rarely had a crying babe.... Our kids come to us often as they will hear something they know. Dad where did I hear this from.
Music be the gift of love play on......
Thank God for us Angelina can't possibly contain her soul given gift. Cheers
The lady you caught a glimpse of at the end, Angelina's grandma Mery, is the one who turned her onto Jazz literally from the crib but Angelina stumbled upon a thumbnail of "beautiful lady" Billie Holiday while listening to some cuts on her tablet and felt compelled to to check it out. She has been in love with Billie Holiday's music ever since - especially her laments, it seems. This would be remarkable enough if she were a teenager in Louisiana; so I'm guessing she stood out as somewhat of a curiosity as a toddler in Oslo.
There's a video of Angelina at what looks like her introduction to pre-school in which the class is singing along to typical nursery rhymes. Angelina, on the other hand, sits in silence with a face like she has eaten a salted lemon washed down with vinegar. You can just tell she is thinking, "The hell with this cr*p, break out some Dinah Washington, daddio."
Yes, that is one of my favourite videos. In case Sebs is interested, here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/pyokeKeymz0/v-deo.html
Thanks for your reaction.
Angelina is pure magic, unique. A music genius and for me one of the best actual female vocalist. She speaks several languages and English is her third language. She plays also several instruments.
Her maternal grandmother is iranian and her maternal grandfather was from Japan. Her father is from Sweden and is a petroleum engineer, who works in Norway. Her mother and uncle, who is her manager were raised in Japan.
She and her younger sister Juliette were born in Norway.
May be you can react to her cover of I’m still holding out for you” or It’s a Man’s World “
Both are amazing.
If you want to hear her lower register, which is unbelievable go to her cover”How Great Thou Art”. It’s a christian song.
That was her Grandma filming Angilina. Without Grandma Mery we wouldn't have all these musicale Gems by Angilina . They are both Awesome! Great reaction. 🇺🇲😎👍💯🌟
And kudos to Rusty for syncing the audio from the album to this video.
Sebs, great reaction, not to many younger folk can appreciate this music or the fact that a 12 year old girl is performing this Billy Holiday song to perfection that Billy did in 1951. It has been done by many other artists but Angelina grew up listening to these jazz classics as a young child thanks to her Grandma Mery (Iranian Poet/artists seen at end). Grandma exposed her to all these greats in Jazz and there are video's of Angelina as a young child perusing music stores and selecting Jazz greats to listen to. She has embodied all these great Jazz artists and why we refer to as the "Jazz Queen". She can literally sing any genre of music but Jazz is her preferred wheelhouse. You will undoubtedly find out why she performs barefoot in the comments and it is also in a book she published at 9 years old. Liked your comments about who she is, she is the sweetest, most humble, caring human being on this planet. She has raised, already by this age, over 22 million for children's charities and environmental causes. So, not only is this young lady a generational talent, she is nothing but Class and a kind heart. All of this and other reasons is why she has an immense fan base who love her and protect her...Angels as we are called. Already subbed your channel and enjoy your journey with the Angel so far. Cheers and keep them coming.
Yeah, somehow Angelina makes us want to be better. Maybe it's her integrity, her realness, her humility, whatever it is we trust her so are willing to relinquish our heart to her artistry (as though we could keep her from taking it if we tried)! We join her in that special place she says she goes to when she sings and that escape, that journey is both powerful and calming. Her grandma introduced her to jazz when she was about 1 or 2 and she has gravitated to it ever since.
Another nice reaction! Keep em coming!
The thinking of nothing/roller coaster feeling you’re talking about, I think that’s present awareness. Living right there in the present, in that moment, and being very aware of it.
Sometimes is hard to distinguish Angelina's voice from the instruments, she is that amazing.
Her music is medicinal. Heals mind body and soul.
She’s a balm in difficult times. Ive been listening everyday for four years now. The absolute untouchable quality of it all is irresistible. With over 140 videos we get to see her entire arc of this amazing journey becomes an investment in ourselves. Ive learned to surround myself w beauty and she’s top of the list
Wonderful reaction to our fantastic little jazz star, Sebs, you're right, listening to her sing is great music therapy. I've always had unlimited admiration for this girl, but when she sings these old jazz songs, it really feels like Billie is standing next to her, it's like they're singing the same chords together. Her warm, husky voice, suspended in her breath and to the rhythm of those fantastic vocal dynamics, has always amazed me, when I see her doing it with an almost embarrassing ease, it's crazy. I also like the nice complicity she has of her with her muse, Grandma Mery, it's nice to see how show her satisfaction with what she is doing. 💛 🧡 ❤️
We watch and request to see you be stunned! 😂😂😂
keep going! 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Flowers in the hair a Norwegian tradition. Yes, the family is very artistic. Grandma Mery is a child prodigy artist. Barefoot... that's a whole other level. Grandma at the end is priceless. 🍁
That is Angelina’s grandmother that she waving to,and she used to play her all the great artist in jaz when she was very young,hence how she nows all,Charles.
Your reaction to Angelina = my reaction to her. I am left speechless but the beauty and the emotions that her voice evokes. Loved your reaction!
You really get it, Angelina Jordan is God's healing gift of the soul to the world . God always saves the best for the last ,as he did at the wedding during Jesus's first recorded miracle when he turned water into the best wine at the end of the weeding party when the wine ran out for the quest.
Angelina is a new gift to open with each song she covers a song , whether it is her own song or someone else's song. A.J. will never leave you disappointed!!
Billie Holliday was one of Angelina's earliest inspirations. So much so, that she has said herself "if there had been no Billie Holliday, there'd be no Angelina."
After she sang Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on AGT, Howie commented about how he could not pay attention to anything else around him when she sang. He called her singing hypnotic. I agree. After Bohemian Rhapsody, Simon told her, "I don't think you know how good you are. Really.". You should watch her singing "I Who Have Nothing". This was her first studio recording, when she was 6 years old.
You just saw a big part of the reason why she sings jazz, grandma, she introduced her to it. She's probably the most influential in her & juliett's life.
She’s beyond brilliant✨ 🎶😊music is magical it takes you away 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💜
Since I've started listening to Angelina, I have adopted a personal motto of "Give Love, Be Kind, Do Good". That's the affect she's had on me.
She does that..she makes you want to be a better person.. I try..I don’t often manage it, but before I came across Angelina I never even tried..too wrapped up in myself..I’ve received a vital life lesson from a very special person. I can never thank her enough.
She has the power to move you to be a better person. Thanks for the reaction
She has adopted Billie's style of singing heartfelt ballads by
incorporating Billie's 'breathy', 'whisper-like' releases and
radically changing 'key' within sentences. It just adds a
mesmerizing quality to the song, aided 'of course' by Angelina's
own personal style mixed in. First off, jazz singers just bring
forth more passionate penetration than any non-jazz singer
could ever hope to do, including great singers like Adele and
Rihanna. I could flip back between Angelina and Billie all day
long, for no other singers reach me as deeply as them.
That's what being hypnotized is. Rapture. You're captured in the moment, and nothing else exists! She's got that effect on people for sure. At least on people who are willing to shut their "mental" for a few minutes, and appreciate the experience. I love her voice, her interpretations of hits past and present, and her artistic talent. Very cool person.
”It’s like a beautiful rest from the world” You’re so right! I couldn’t have said it better myself!
When you get to her performances at outdoor concerts in Norway, you will see many females wearing flowers in their hair, I assume a custom in Scandinavian countries.
As for her bare feet, she sings barefoot to bring awareness of all children in the world who are so poor they can't afford basic necessities like shoes. Others in the comments will tell her story on how that came about. Love your channel!
Sebs, your expressions say it all. There are legions of us who are left speechless, a mass of goosebumps, puddles of tears, and utterly joyful by Angelina. What you said about your own kids and how you feel about them is so true. Angelina is literally changing the world, one heart at a time. It's a personal experience that words can't really express. Absolutely pick up her CD, Magic. I've played mine a zillion times and can't wait for the hinted-at album this year.
You saw the reason she is a Jazz singer at the end of this video. Her grandmother, Mery (a famous artist and poet from Iran), introduced Angelina to the Jazz masters, Billie, Ella, etc. starting when she was around 2 or 3 years old.
Since then Angelina has been the driving force behind her career. She has an amazing family helping her and giving her advice, including her uncle Michael Astar who is her manager. He has an extensive history of music behind him.
11 year old Angelina glances up to the heavens before starting to sing, connecting with Billie Holiday who is Angelina's favorite artist. This performance is one of the tracks for her "It's Magic" album, which has been in the top 10 jazz albums at times. I encourage everyone to purchase a copy (I bought two so to keep one unopened). It is available on Amazon and part of the purchase price goes to charity.
She had a short interview with Rosie O’Donnell on the View when she was 8, before singing Fly Me To The Moon.
The hair garlands are tied to the celebration of the longest day of the year. In Norway (and Denmark) is called St Hans Aften (‘St John’s Eve’) and sometimes Midsommer, and always held on evening of June 23rd (in Sweden always called Midsommer and happens on the closest Friday to June 23rd). This day was a very important day in the pagan calendar. The Vikings used this night to visit healing water wells and had huge bonfires to ward off evil spirits. Flower wreaths in the hair can be seen in Norway other than on this celebration day as the woman and girls like to wear them. It has nothing to do with the US hippies.
As for why Angelina sings barefoot, it has to do with a little barefoot girl Angelina met in Middle East when she was 6-years old. Angelina gave the girl her green ankle boots and decided to sing barefoot in her honor and has said “I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” Here are some historical videos, some of which describe the full barefoot story, that you may get a flavor for how Angelina grew up and has now become one of the great young singers that the world has ever seen:

Angelina then reads some of her diary that would become a part of her book. It is impressive how well the writing is and Angelina wrote this as a 6-year old.

After the interview with Anne Lindmo, the 9-year old Angelina sings a short cover of "Unchained Melody" in the style of Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, who many consider the gold standard for the song.

---- Shield with Interview - Changes To English After 30 Seconds
When Angelina was 12-years old. In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark after starting in, I believe, in Norwegian although it could be Swedish) on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show) before Angelina sang Shield, a song she co-wrote, paraphrasing, Angelina said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ua-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/v-deo.html

- Why Angelina always sings barefoot: At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need.
