Travis, sir, my fellow angels (Angelina named her fans angels) told you how exceptional she is. Now to the facts. Born January 10th 2006 in Oslo. Filmed singing at the ripe old age of 18 months in her crib (it was WHITNEY HOUSTON) in English. Discovering grandmas Jazz collection when 2 yo. Insisting to go to" singing school" she entered the music academy Oslo when 4 yo. She studied and studies ALL music genres including opera. Today she visits a combined music/highschool in LA and finishing Highschool soon. Some experts told, that because her larynx is a bit longer than usual, she has a enormous voice range. It is estimated around 5 octavos. Because of her very international ancestry on maternal side, she speaks fluently, swede, norse, English, farsi and japanese. Her music instruments, that I know for sure are the keyboard and the guitar. As a human, she inherited generosity from her japanese grandfather, who is known to the Oslo community for feeding the homeless and trying to get jobs for them. Angelina was seen doing this in LA. You will discover, that a lot of her concerts had a humanitarian background. Be warned her b+w video "Iput a spell on you" is shocking. before you watch it, look at the original from Screaming Jay Hawkins ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html. In his time there were no chances for a black guy singing, exept by playing the clown. Stay save and sound. German greetings
I am norwegian and i remember watching her audition at 7 years old in 2014. It was "the talk of the town" in all of Norway. She blew up. The judges called her an old soul that had lived many lives.
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 140 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 15, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

She's got so many songs. Lots of covers and some originals:) She realy give us a lot of good music, from the time she was about 7 untill now:) A go to for first timers is the black and white version of Screaming Jay Hawkins "I put a spell on you" It showcase her abillities in "beast-mode" :) she was 9 an cute as an angel but when she start belting out her raw tallent it really is awesome:)
I really hope Simon Cowell appreciates just what it means when ANGELINA JORDAN calls you a legend. I am almost 70 years old and have never ever encounted a talent like Angelina. Long live the goddess of music.
Welcome to the "Wonder Land" of Angelina Jordan. You have entered the Rabbit Hole! Pick a song, any song and you'll be amazed! Her voice is addicting. Keep in mind all arraignments are hers.
You’ve come to realize by now that SHE made that arrangement. She’s a child prodigy, in a # of realms & a polyglot. Also a philanthropist. Astounding young woman. Do some research & enjoy this profoundly gifted girl.
Just ran into this tonight, Oct. 15, 2022. Angelina Jordan is 16 years old this year, and her birthday is in January. First of all, I want to tell you your teeth are gorgeous. Outside of that, you are blown away the way I was. She's had an exciting year and all of us are waiting eagerly for her album to drop, hopefully early in 2023, but no one knows. Angelina signed with Republic Records after AGT Champions. I see you caught her "Suspicious Minds Cover." Did you catch her cover of Duffy's "Mercy" done for the movie, The Hating Game? It is awesome--another facet of Angelina Jordan, still singing barefoot. 💜
Thank you for your genuine reaction. Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her. Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong. Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down. Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan. Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions. At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities. Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come. Thank you for reading and Keep up the good work.
She something really special, this was in 2019 and she is ow 15 and signed to Republic Record . She has her own cover channel with around 150 songs she has recorded , so you have lots to choose from
I believe the vast majority of people who have listened to Angelina rate her very high. Instead of underrated, better to say the most talented singer with the fewest number of people who know of her.
@@andyschnell58 when I say underrated I don't mean she is underrated by angelina fans including me because I know her capability l mean she should be much bigger than she is now even though I am sure she is gonna be huge in the near future
@@mehdikeyha3755 I understand and was trying to help find a way to better state how we both feel. Not my best effort but with your reply people should understand.
@@mehdikeyha3755 Patience....her family has made it clear they want her to finish her education before they move full speed ahead on her career.. she might still have another year of school or finishing up sooner.... When they are ready she'll explode...promotion men getting her records on radio stations, TV appearances on the late night shows and mind blowing live shows...
Haha! Your jaw was hanging low the whole time. Loved your reaction. You have just entered the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole and what a fantastic journey you will have if you choose to follow more of her performances. I hope you do. Thanks.
My 2nd Favorite is Summertime ... close your eyes while listening To her performance ... she sounds like a "35 y o woman who've been singing 4 twenty years" as you've mentionned 🤣 ... mindblowing indeed!
she was 7 when she auditioned for Norways Got Talent, she was 8 by the time she won. this video is from 2019, but didnt air on t v until 2020, so she was 13 during taping of the show, but 14 by the time it aired.
Well done Travis, getting your jaw back in place. :-D I must say, you mirrored my own face and reaction 100%, as I first saw her sing. Only difference; - she was 7 at the time!! And for sure, my face and my whole body has been put thru quite some emotional sunny days hurricanes by her these years, if you get what I`m saying. After all, she has posted about 140 songs on YT by now, and given us her magical jazzy album from 2018. It`s actually called "It`s Magic", if you can belive that. You are very welcome in to this magic place. Angelina is the ruling majestic jazzy Queen in this world, so it is rather suitable you got introdused to her as she did this famous Queen song. As I subscribe to your channel, I`ll give you one advice: "- Get your jaw secured and dive in!!" :-)
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and there is an outstanding reason for this ...
Good luck to you too are so many Angelina covers and she’s written several songs and perform they’re all unbelievably crazy good we’re excited for you to join us in our travels with Angelina she goes way back way way back
If you continue with Angelina write down this date as she will change you from within. She is much more than a vocalist she is a wonderment. Honestly a most incredible human. She has already created history and will be written about and studied for literally hundreds of years into the future. You are watching history being made.
Love the reaction Travis, your mouth was ajar for all of it just like so many of us Angelina fans. One of the most beautiful singing voices in decades is right here in front of you. You shall be amazed at what this young lady can do with her vocal gift. She is a pure music genius that shall shake up the music industry one of these days soon, a good thing I might add. Would like to see you do more from Angelina.
You just heard the voice of the century. Angelina did her own arrangement. She has been under wraps but now is signed with Republic Records, at age 15. She has 130+ UA-cam videos. Try a recent one next, 7th Heaven. Her original. Welcome to the Angelina universe!
THE voice of The Century is Amira Willinghagen (Opera, Ballads, even a Pop song) born in the Netherlands and around same age as Angelina Jordan. Amira won the Voice of Holland at age 9. She performs with professional opera singers on stage in front of thousands. Check it out.
@Sandy NOPE... this is likely NOT her arrangement..... not sure where you get your "copyright" info.. to base this comment on. You might be confounding some of the copyright stuff her parents have done for much of her stuff. Same-ish verson was sung on The Voice kids? by another singer year or two before this one. This does not take away from Angelina.... she has done her own thing on plenty other songs she deserves all the credit for.
@@coachgeo it's actually completely confirmed, SHE did this arrangement herself. She has UA-cam videos going back to before AGT. Google is your friend. And anyone with an ear can hear it was arranged literally for her vocal style and voice. The only "cover" this is off, is of Queen.
She has been my favorite singer since this performance. Shes. Done over 100’s of covers and got signed to a label. Her voice got me through the last awful year. Truly an amazing singer and person!
Nicely done first reaction dude rock,, welcome to Angelina's world,, you will soon find out that this one of a kind vocalist/artist is going to have the music industry at her mercy,, music is her playground now and there's NO ONE that has the ability to match her vocally or artistically,, 👣🌬🌎
The size of the rabbit hole is enormous, she doesn’t have a genre she sings what she wants and makes it hers. Rare talent that comes around every hundred years or so. Vocal prodigy
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 ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙
All covers are her arrangements and have you ever heard of a 15 year old lady who was given 100% control of everything Angelina Jordan when she signed with Republic Records last year we’ll meet Angelina. Next should be Screaming Jay Hawking cover of I Put a Spell on You (black and white) Feeling Good What a Difference a Day Makes The Show Must Go On
Where have you been? Don't worry, you only have 140 plus of her covers and own songs to listen to. Thank you for your reaction. O, you can start from when she was 6.
When a reactor has his mouth open for the whole performance first time listening to Angelina he gets my sub immediately.If you want more shock and awe go the black and white studio version of 9yr old Angelina singing her unique cover of I put a spell on You.
Hell when a whole freaking audience falls into a deafening silence at an unknown voice.... that means music of the century just fell upon them. In all my 60yrs appreciating music.. this is one of the few where Pin Drop Silence was truly defined or so instant. Not silence out of some pre determined/auto pilot silence, reverence, respect ... but real.. instant .... ton of weight on your brain, gob smacked silence
Now that you have found her you have to react to ”I put a spell on you” ( black&white version) from when she was nine! It will blow your head off!!! After that you will follow her closely to see what might be of her. I have! 😊
Welcome to the rabbit hole called the Angelina Jordan's experience! Try watching her older work without astonishment! Ha ha, you can't! Good luck and enjoy!
It's always so gratifying to see someone discover Angelina. I always recommend a person follow this performance by checking out her music video cover of I Put A Spell On You, recorded when she was nine(the black & white video, please). Oh, and you might want to put a pillow on the floor under your jaw so it doesn't get bruised. :)
I love watching new reactions and yours was awesome ... enjoy the experience of Angelina the barefoot princess.. I love her covers of Adele and Amy and oh soooo many more
JUST SUBSCRIBED for ANGELINA. Love your style Travis. I'm a Pentaholic from way back and then about a year ago I discovered the most amazing little girl and can't get enough. Voice of a generation. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, black and white version 9.2 years old. Cheers from Florida
You have a lot more to hear from her 😁 For example: I'm feeling good, 10 years old. Born to die, 11/12 years old. It's a mans world, 12 years old Summertime, 8 years old at Norways got talent. After she signed with Republic records: Her originals: Million miles, 14 years old 7th heaven, 15 years old And her newest: cover of Michael Jacksons "Billie Jean"
Welcome to the incredible Angelina. Although this performance is absolutely great, there are 50 more that will bring back that look of shock on your face. Look at the long list of songs from Angelina, starting at 6 years old. Pick a song or genre you like from Angelina at any age-listen and assume that jaw-dropped expression. That’s how good she is. Immense natural talent, hard work, a fascination with the great jazz singers since very early childhood, and a palette of different voices she can summon up effortlessly. Angelina is, without hesitation, the best singer I’ve ever heard.
Liked your reaction. Btw Angelina refers to herself as a musician, but she is very much loved for her tone, timing and storytelling. She was gifted a most beautiful voice at birth ❤️👣🎶

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Travis for a great first reaction to my favorite singer on the planet, and the most amazing singer I've heard in my lifetime. Angelina has literally dozens of performances out there that will have you picking your jaw up off the ground, so I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
You'll continue to be dumbfounded. There is over 100 more of Angelina's performances worthy of reacting. For fun, check out 9 year old Angelina's "I put a Spell on You" (black & white version). Enjoyed your reaction. 🍁
It is her arrangement. Angelina started singing with 1 1/2 years. She sings Jazz from very early on. Please travel back in time and listen to her auditions from Norway got Talent. Watch the videos with engl. subtitles so yo don´t miss the judges´ reactions. And an absolutely "must watch" is her black and white version on "I put a spell on you" when she was 9.
Not sure it is her arrangement. I found it on another singing contest a year or two earlier. .... so who knows who wrote/first performed this arrangement . (think it was "The Voice Kids" and it was NOT Angelina in that one)
The only talented artist nowadays in the whole world, no doubt about it is Angelina Jordan.There are no words to express the magnificence and majesty of her voice,on every rendition.
Yes, this was all Angelina! Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (135+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to Frank Sinatra to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. You can't go wrong and you won't be sorry!
Some have said (commentors) that God wanted to listen to someone singing, so he packed a young lady with an immense vocal toolkit, and sent her off to a loving family and an exceptional education school in Norway!!! We get to listen along too. Thank goodness.
Travis thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan who created this genius arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina is a true prodigy but blessed with a set of skills unlike any before her. She has created her own arrangements seemingly from birth and has the most beautiful tone I have ever heard. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist. 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, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where 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. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 8, (please refer to replies by erik to a comment I made on JHTreacts video on 6/7/21 who provides proof Angelina had already turned 8) Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Not her arrangement it appears.... many many many other things are.... this one appears not to be though. Saw/Heard it extremely similar arrangement few years before AGT Champions by another young artist on The Voice kids I do believe and it was NOT Angelina in that event.. Angelina did bring this beautiful arrangement out to the forefront though. No discredit to Angelina at all. Whomever did the arrangement very much deserves credit as does Angelina for doing it so amazingly.
The members of Queen gave her all the rights to this version. You have just listened to the one who will undoubtedly be the queen of music for the next few decades.
again NOPE..... this version was sung by at least one other few years earlier. Seen/Heard it. Think it was "Voice kids" BTW Anyone who uses a Queen song has to get permission. that is normal. Though Queen did give additional super thumbs up after Angelina did this on AGT which Im not sure they had done for anyone else before.
@@coachgeo NOPE... what? This melodic version of Bohemian Rhapsody was created by the AJ team especially for AGT, so it hasn't been heard before. Regarding copyright, I understand that Queen gave Angelina her blessing to record and release her own version of the song, giving her the copyright to do so.
Here is how it was. Angelina enjoyed to listen to jazz and different other forms of music for around 47000 years. Then suddenly a cold winterday she was born.... ...actually it was on a Tuesday.... She then decided to do all that music stuff herself....and here she is.... good as nobody else.... just saying....
Hi Travis. You would think (as everyone should), that this outstanding performance was a relatively unique experience. Every good singer I've heard, has a "best" performance, a specific song that suits their voice the best. However, Angelina simply gets better and better and better. There truly are no words that describe how impressive, how talented, how charming, how wholesome, how gifted this young woman is. Keep reacting to her performances - it will not get old, it will not get routine, other than every time you'll feel the same amount of awe and disbelief as she reveals something new with her musical gift. In my opinion, start early - not necessarily at the beginning - maybe do the black & white version of "I put a spell on you" next, just to get a feel for how much she simply "is" music. She was 9 then, wrote her own version and score (with appropriate musical nods to Screamin' Jay Hawkins), she asked the musical director for a few "wishes" at the last minute, and the pros playing behind her responded. I think you'll like what was created. But keep in mind - it's just the "next one" to listen to ... there are 150 more. Thank you for your reaction - enjoy the AJ reaction ride! :)
Angelina is as close to technically perfect as a human can be with this song (IMO). She has such an abiding love for her fellow human beings that she never sings to us but rather, for us. I liked your reaction.
Great reaction, thanks 👍 Angelina has created a new paradigm in music. Her body of work already (at only the age of 15) would be the envy of any successful artist. Her extraordinary vocal ability, developed from the time she was in a crib, along with an acute 'understanding' of music itself, sets Angelina apart from what has gone before. Hyperbole? I think I'll stick around and watch you discover. Buckle up. BTW. 'I'll put a spell on you'. (Black & white). Is my vote for next Angelina reaction. Thanks!😀
Travis, I loved watching your brain try and comprehend what your ears, eyes, and heart are telling you, experiencing her for the first time. You cannot go wrong with any of her covers or original songs next. You will still be in the same position trying to understand her ability. Angelina is truly a gift to us all.
Angelinas voice is the closest voice to an Angel you could ever hear so warm peaceful loving and beautiful ❤️🩹🌺
Travis, sir, my fellow angels (Angelina named her fans angels) told you how exceptional she is. Now to the facts. Born January 10th 2006 in Oslo. Filmed singing at the ripe old age of 18 months in her crib (it was WHITNEY HOUSTON) in English. Discovering grandmas Jazz collection when 2 yo. Insisting to go to" singing school" she entered the music academy Oslo when 4 yo.
She studied and studies ALL music genres including opera. Today she visits a combined music/highschool in LA and finishing Highschool soon. Some experts told, that because her larynx is a bit longer than usual, she has a enormous voice range. It is estimated around 5 octavos. Because of her very international ancestry on maternal side, she speaks fluently, swede, norse, English, farsi and japanese. Her music instruments, that I know for sure are the keyboard and the guitar.
As a human, she inherited generosity from her japanese grandfather, who is known to the Oslo community for feeding the homeless and trying to get jobs for them. Angelina was seen doing this in LA. You will discover, that a lot of her concerts had a humanitarian background.
Be warned her b+w video "Iput a spell on you" is shocking. before you watch it, look at the original from Screaming Jay Hawkins ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html. In his time there were no chances for a black guy singing, exept by playing the clown. Stay save and sound. German greetings
I am norwegian and i remember watching her audition at 7 years old in 2014. It was "the talk of the town" in all of Norway. She blew up. The judges called her an old soul that had lived many lives.
Great Reaction as Usual!!!!
Angelina is Most Definitely "An Old Soul"!!!!
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 140 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 15, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more.
Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

This is hands down one of the best covers ever!
She’s Got Such AnAmazingVoice She Draws You In With Her SingingShes GoingPlaces With A Voice Like She Has❤️
Angelina does her own arranging, I believe. Just one of the amazing things about her
she did "i put a spell on you" at 9yrs old . spectacular !
She's got so many songs. Lots of covers and some originals:) She realy give us a lot of good music, from the time she was about 7 untill now:) A go to for first timers is the black and white version of Screaming Jay Hawkins "I put a spell on you" It showcase her abillities in "beast-mode" :) she was 9 an cute as an angel but when she start belting out her raw tallent it really is awesome:)
I really hope Simon Cowell appreciates just what it means when ANGELINA JORDAN calls you a legend. I am almost 70 years old and have never ever encounted a talent like Angelina. Long live the goddess of music.
Goosebumps every time I listen her version.
U are amazing and astonishing ...
Welcome to the "Wonder Land" of Angelina Jordan. You have entered the Rabbit Hole! Pick a song, any song and you'll be amazed! Her voice is addicting. Keep in mind all arraignments are hers.
Welcome to our Norwegian angel og keep listen!
You’ve come to realize by now that SHE made that arrangement. She’s a child prodigy, in a # of realms & a polyglot. Also a philanthropist. Astounding young woman. Do some research & enjoy this profoundly gifted girl.
I am happy to have finally found your reactions to Angelina. I am looking forward to watching more of them. I hope you are still creating.
Just ran into this tonight, Oct. 15, 2022. Angelina Jordan is 16 years old this year, and her birthday is in January. First of all, I want to tell you your teeth are gorgeous. Outside of that, you are blown away the way I was. She's had an exciting year and all of us are waiting eagerly for her album to drop, hopefully early in 2023, but no one knows. Angelina signed with Republic Records after AGT Champions. I see you caught her "Suspicious Minds Cover." Did you catch her cover of Duffy's "Mercy" done for the movie, The Hating Game? It is awesome--another facet of Angelina Jordan, still singing barefoot. 💜
If you're missing your jaw, you might find it on the floor.
Listening to Angelina Jordan is a lifechanging experience... believe me!
Thank you for your genuine reaction.
Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her.
Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong.
Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.
After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down.
Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan.
Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions.
At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities.
Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come.
Thank you for reading and Keep up the good work.
Best summary I have ever seen for Angelina, especially in regards to her age at the time and this being his first reaction to her. Well done.
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, she is always amazing and mesmerizing. Loved your reaction.
Goosebumps!!!!
She something really special, this was in 2019 and she is ow 15 and signed to Republic Record . She has her own cover channel with around 150 songs she has recorded , so you have lots to choose from
She is the most underrated singer in the world 💙💙💙
I believe the vast majority of people who have listened to Angelina rate her very high. Instead of underrated, better to say the most talented singer with the fewest number of people who know of her.
@@andyschnell58 when I say underrated I don't mean she is underrated by angelina fans including me because I know her capability l mean she should be much bigger than she is now even though I am sure she is gonna be huge in the near future
@@mehdikeyha3755 I understand and was trying to help find a way to better state how we both feel. Not my best effort but with your reply people should understand.
@@mehdikeyha3755 Patience....her family has made it clear they want her to finish her education before they move full speed ahead on her career.. she might still have another year of school or finishing up sooner.... When they are ready she'll explode...promotion men getting her records on radio stations, TV appearances on the late night shows and mind blowing live shows...
@@1after909 thank u for your information sir 🙏🙏 it seems u know a lot about her actually I can't wait to see her explode 😀😀
Haha! Your jaw was hanging low the whole time. Loved your reaction. You have just entered the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole and what a fantastic journey you will have if you choose to follow more of her performances. I hope you do. Thanks.
My 2nd Favorite is Summertime ... close your eyes while listening To her performance ... she sounds like a "35 y o woman who've been singing 4 twenty years" as you've mentionned 🤣 ... mindblowing indeed!
OMG 😳, she blew me away 😲, she's got a bright future. I bet Simon will sign her to his label xx
You should see her very first audition in Norways got talent. She sings Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday.
She has been singing since she was 5 or 6. Just as amazing as she is on this video.
she was 7 when she auditioned for Norways Got Talent, she was 8 by the time she won. this video is from 2019, but didnt air on t v until 2020, so she was 13 during taping of the show, but 14 by the time it aired.
Well done Travis, getting your jaw back in place. :-D I must say, you mirrored my own face and reaction 100%, as I first saw her sing. Only difference; - she was 7 at the time!! And for sure, my face and my whole body has been put thru quite some emotional sunny days hurricanes by her these years, if you get what I`m saying. After all, she has posted about 140 songs on YT by now, and given us her magical jazzy album from 2018. It`s actually called "It`s Magic", if you can belive that.
You are very welcome in to this magic place. Angelina is the ruling majestic jazzy Queen in this world, so it is rather suitable you got introdused to her as she did this famous Queen song. As I subscribe to your channel, I`ll give you one advice: "- Get your jaw secured and dive in!!" :-)
she also dos live versions of ""FEELING GOOD"" that's incredible she was 10 at the time
Love your Jaw Dropping Angelina Stare. Welcome!
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and there is an outstanding reason for this ...
Good luck to you too are so many Angelina covers and she’s written several songs and perform they’re all unbelievably crazy good we’re excited for you to join us in our travels with Angelina she goes way back way way back
Welcome to Angelina's World. A seasoned professional right from the womb...literally. you'll see.
Teehe
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s World 👍🙂, 👍 from a big Angelina fan and a new sub 👍🙂❤️
If you continue with Angelina write down this date as she will change you from within. She is much more than a vocalist she is a wonderment. Honestly a most incredible human. She has already created history and will be written about and studied for literally hundreds of years into the future. You are watching history being made.
you have just discovered the most versitile legends in the making !!
New subscriber.. I'm here for your Angelina ride.. Buckle up folk's xxx 🤗😘🐐🇬🇧
She always does her own arrangements! You must check more from her!
2 billion hits on you tube, 2/5 billion on Facebook, where have you been?
Love the reaction Travis, your mouth was ajar for all of it just like so many of us Angelina fans. One of the most beautiful singing voices in decades is right here in front of you. You shall be amazed at what this young lady can do with her vocal gift. She is a pure music genius that shall shake up the music industry one of these days soon, a good thing I might add. Would like to see you do more from Angelina.
Lol..just loved your reaction..welcome to the Angelina's Angel's
You just heard the voice of the century. Angelina did her own arrangement. She has been under wraps but now is signed with Republic Records, at age 15. She has 130+ UA-cam videos. Try a recent one next, 7th Heaven. Her original. Welcome to the Angelina universe!
THE voice of The Century is Amira Willinghagen (Opera, Ballads, even a Pop song) born in the Netherlands and around same age as Angelina Jordan. Amira won the Voice of Holland at age 9. She performs with professional opera singers on stage in front of thousands. Check it out.
Although she does her own arrangements in most of her songs, this actually was done by another singer in a club/show setting.
@Sandy NOPE... this is likely NOT her arrangement..... not sure where you get your "copyright" info.. to base this comment on. You might be confounding some of the copyright stuff her parents have done for much of her stuff. Same-ish verson was sung on The Voice kids? by another singer year or two before this one. This does not take away from Angelina.... she has done her own thing on plenty other songs she deserves all the credit for.
@@coachgeo it's actually completely confirmed, SHE did this arrangement herself. She has UA-cam videos going back to before AGT.
Google is your friend.
And anyone with an ear can hear it was arranged literally for her vocal style and voice. The only "cover" this is off, is of Queen.
Just subscribed for our beautiful Angel, Angelina.
thanks for the sub!
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan!!
Aside from Angelina's super freakish Talent she has amazing people protecting her. That's why she hasn't been fed into the machine!
Smart people !
She has been my favorite singer since this performance. Shes. Done over 100’s of covers and got signed to a label. Her voice got me through the last awful year. Truly an amazing singer and person!
Nicely done first reaction dude rock,, welcome to Angelina's world,, you will soon find out that this one of a kind vocalist/artist is going to have the music industry at her mercy,, music is her playground now and there's NO ONE that has the ability to match her vocally or artistically,,
👣🌬🌎
oh man i can't wait to see your face when you react to """ i put a spell on you """ she's 8 or 9 years old at the time it'll make your brain itchy!!!
Make our brains "itchy!" Interesting way of putting it.
The size of the rabbit hole is enormous, she doesn’t have a genre she sings what she wants and makes it hers. Rare talent that comes around every hundred years or so. Vocal prodigy
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 ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙
Angelina is just 🧡🧡🧡, can't wait for your next Angelina reaction
All covers are her arrangements and have you ever heard of a 15 year old lady who was given 100% control of everything Angelina Jordan when she signed with Republic Records last year we’ll meet Angelina. Next should be
Screaming Jay Hawking cover of
I Put a Spell on You (black and white)
Feeling Good
What a Difference a Day Makes
The Show Must Go On
Where have you been? Don't worry, you only have 140 plus of her covers and own songs to listen to. Thank you for your reaction. O, you can start from when she was 6.
When a reactor has his mouth open for the whole performance first time listening to Angelina he gets my sub immediately.If you want more shock and awe go the black and white studio version of 9yr old Angelina singing her unique cover of I put a spell on You.
Thanks for the sub ! Def more to come!
@@TeaTimeWithTravis Here is the ink to "I put a spell on you" age 9 - Studio Performance:I put a spell on you ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
Hell when a whole freaking audience falls into a deafening silence at an unknown voice.... that means music of the century just fell upon them. In all my 60yrs appreciating music.. this is one of the few where Pin Drop Silence was truly defined or so instant. Not silence out of some pre determined/auto pilot silence, reverence, respect ... but real.. instant .... ton of weight on your brain, gob smacked silence
Bro, the best voice i've ever heard......and a genius musician in her young age.... ✌
Now that you have found her you have to react to ”I put a spell on you” ( black&white version) from when she was nine! It will blow your head off!!! After that you will follow her closely to see what might be of her. I have! 😊
Welcome to the rabbit hole called the Angelina Jordan's experience!
Try watching her older work without astonishment! Ha ha, you can't! Good luck and enjoy!
She and her team made that version, yep, she’s amazing.
It's always so gratifying to see someone discover Angelina. I always recommend a person follow this performance by checking out her music video cover of I Put A Spell On You, recorded when she was nine(the black & white video, please). Oh, and you might want to put a pillow on the floor under your jaw so it doesn't get bruised. :)
I love watching new reactions and yours was awesome ... enjoy the experience of Angelina the barefoot princess.. I love her covers of Adele and Amy and oh soooo many more
There's much to watch, all amazing. I suggest you start with her 2014 appearances on Norway's Got Talent.Her seven year old performances defy belief!
Angelina wrote the arrangement as she does with all of the covers she sings. Angelina is a bona fide musical genius.
JUST SUBSCRIBED for ANGELINA. Love your style Travis. I'm a Pentaholic from way back and then about a year ago I discovered the most amazing little girl and can't get enough. Voice of a generation. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, black and white version 9.2 years old.
Cheers from Florida
Thanks for the sub !
Queen acknowledged her.
She does her own arrangements too
An absolute classic, and she has many more on youtube that will get your jaw dropping!
Just do the next 135 videos of Angelina. That'll make about 10,000 people very happy with you. lol
You have a lot more to hear from her 😁
For example:
I'm feeling good, 10 years old.
Born to die, 11/12 years old.
It's a mans world, 12 years old
Summertime, 8 years old at Norways got talent.
After she signed with Republic records:
Her originals:
Million miles, 14 years old
7th heaven, 15 years old
And her newest: cover of Michael Jacksons "Billie Jean"
Welcome to the incredible Angelina. Although this performance is absolutely great, there are 50 more that will bring back that look of shock on your face. Look at the long list of songs from Angelina, starting at 6 years old. Pick a song or genre you like from Angelina at any age-listen and assume that jaw-dropped expression. That’s how good she is. Immense natural talent, hard work, a fascination with the great jazz singers since very early childhood, and a palette of different voices she can summon up effortlessly. Angelina is, without hesitation, the best singer I’ve ever heard.
Liked your reaction. Btw Angelina refers to herself as a musician, but she is very much loved for her tone, timing and storytelling. She was gifted a most beautiful voice at birth ❤️👣🎶
Oh yeah. Shock and awe for sure. Every single time she opens her mouth. Can’t wait to follow your journey with Angelina.
Welcome to the Mind Blowing Journey of the Barefoot Princess. She Started at 18 months singing at home. At 6yrs she goes into the Studio then at 7 gets into Norways got talent She won at Just going into her 8th yr of life. She is a Composer of the Music covers She Pays Homage to.

That Story is Why she is Barefooted during all her Singing Performances until All the Children of the World Had Shoes. She is also a Seamstress and makes her Own Clothing. Angelina is Followed by Millions and Very Loved. She has done Over 100 Covers and Many of Her Own Songs. She Speaks 9 yes I said 9 Languages. So Enjoy this Journey and Hold on To Your Seat and Mind. Don't be a Shammed when You Become Speechless Your Not the 1st Nor the Last, We've all been there. You will Fall in Love with Her as She Captures Your Soul and Puts A Spell on You.

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Travis for a great first reaction to my favorite singer on the planet, and the most amazing singer I've heard in my lifetime. Angelina has literally dozens of performances out there that will have you picking your jaw up off the ground, so I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
You'll continue to be dumbfounded. There is over 100 more of Angelina's performances worthy of reacting. For fun, check out 9 year old Angelina's "I put a Spell on You" (black & white version). Enjoyed your reaction. 🍁
Love how he was sitting there for 90% of the video with his mouth open haha
It is her arrangement. Angelina started singing with 1 1/2 years. She sings Jazz from very early on. Please travel back in time and listen to her auditions from Norway got Talent. Watch the videos with engl. subtitles so yo don´t miss the judges´ reactions. And an absolutely "must watch" is her black and white version on "I put a spell on you" when she was 9.
Not sure it is her arrangement. I found it on another singing contest a year or two earlier. .... so who knows who wrote/first performed this arrangement . (think it was "The Voice Kids" and it was NOT Angelina in that one)
Welcome to Angelina's world!
The only talented artist nowadays in the whole world, no doubt about it is Angelina Jordan.There are no words to express the magnificence and majesty of her voice,on every rendition.
Just sub'd. I expect to see you again with Angelina real soon. You are in for quite a ride sir.
Thanks for the sub ! Second Angelina video has already been filmed ! Look out for it soon ! :)
Loved your reaction❤️
The arrangement was her own and The Queens loved it to!
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Yes, this was all Angelina! Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (135+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to Frank Sinatra to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. You can't go wrong and you won't be sorry!
Some have said (commentors) that God wanted to listen to someone singing, so he packed a young lady with an immense vocal toolkit, and sent her off to a loving family and an exceptional education school in Norway!!! We get to listen along too. Thank goodness.
Travis thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan who created this genius arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina is a true prodigy but blessed with a set of skills unlike any before her. She has created her own arrangements seemingly from birth and has the most beautiful tone I have ever heard. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist.
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, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where 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.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 8, (please refer to replies by erik to a comment I made on JHTreacts video on 6/7/21 who provides proof Angelina had already turned 8) Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Not her arrangement it appears.... many many many other things are.... this one appears not to be though. Saw/Heard it extremely similar arrangement few years before AGT Champions by another young artist on The Voice kids I do believe and it was NOT Angelina in that event.. Angelina did bring this beautiful arrangement out to the forefront though. No discredit to Angelina at all. Whomever did the arrangement very much deserves credit as does Angelina for doing it so amazingly.
The members of Queen gave her all the rights to this version. You have just listened to the one who will undoubtedly be the queen of music for the next few decades.
again NOPE..... this version was sung by at least one other few years earlier. Seen/Heard it. Think it was "Voice kids" BTW Anyone who uses a Queen song has to get permission. that is normal. Though Queen did give additional super thumbs up after Angelina did this on AGT which Im not sure they had done for anyone else before.
@@coachgeo NOPE... what? This melodic version of Bohemian Rhapsody was created by the AJ team especially for AGT, so it hasn't been heard before. Regarding copyright, I understand that Queen gave Angelina her blessing to record and release her own version of the song, giving her the copyright to do so.
Here is how it was. Angelina enjoyed to listen to jazz and different other forms of music for around 47000 years.
Then suddenly a cold winterday she was born.... ...actually it was on a Tuesday.... She then decided to do all that music stuff herself....and here she is.... good as nobody else.... just saying....
Yep, your life just changed. She never stops being astonishing
Travis.....we ALL have had our jaw drop when this was first BGT....another corner too look around....JudyD
FYI - she does all her arrangements.
ANNND makes a lot of her own clothes!!! Like this outfit, Which is AWESOME!!!!! This pattern was originally from her grandma years ago......
@@lorimart747 Yes her grandma's artwork. Spectacular
Hi Travis. You would think (as everyone should), that this outstanding performance was a relatively unique experience. Every good singer I've heard, has a "best" performance, a specific song that suits their voice the best. However, Angelina simply gets better and better and better. There truly are no words that describe how impressive, how talented, how charming, how wholesome, how gifted this young woman is. Keep reacting to her performances - it will not get old, it will not get routine, other than every time you'll feel the same amount of awe and disbelief as she reveals something new with her musical gift. In my opinion, start early - not necessarily at the beginning - maybe do the black & white version of "I put a spell on you" next, just to get a feel for how much she simply "is" music. She was 9 then, wrote her own version and score (with appropriate musical nods to Screamin' Jay Hawkins), she asked the musical director for a few "wishes" at the last minute, and the pros playing behind her responded. I think you'll like what was created. But keep in mind - it's just the "next one" to listen to ... there are 150 more. Thank you for your reaction - enjoy the AJ reaction ride! :)
ANGELINA...👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tray Wicked Game , Angelina Jordan ❤
I agree. And play it twice!! :-)
Angelina is as close to technically perfect as a human can be with this song (IMO). She has such an abiding love for her fellow human beings that she never sings to us but rather, for us. I liked your reaction.
Great reaction, thanks 👍
Angelina has created a new paradigm in music. Her body of work already (at only the age of 15) would be the envy of any successful artist. Her extraordinary vocal ability, developed from the time she was in a crib, along with an acute 'understanding' of music itself, sets Angelina apart from what has gone before.
Hyperbole? I think I'll stick around and watch you discover. Buckle up.
BTW. 'I'll put a spell on you'. (Black & white). Is my vote for next Angelina reaction. Thanks!😀
Travis, I loved watching your brain try and comprehend what your ears, eyes, and heart are telling you, experiencing her for the first time. You cannot go wrong with any of her covers or original songs next. You will still be in the same position trying to understand her ability. Angelina is truly a gift to us all.
