Interesting combination of reaction and dance. I think some other original songs from Angelina that would be good for this format would be "Above the Water", and "7th Heaven". Be sure to check those out! And as always for anyone that is just discovering Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 16 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 160 songs and over 70 artists. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse, Lana del Rey, and Adele like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Nice and interesting reaction! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 16 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out next year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
I highly recommend that you use a quality set of head phones when listening to Angelina sing. They will provide you with the ability to hear every nuance of her brilliant vocal capabilities.
Welcome to the mega talented Angelina Jordan. She is 16 years old, and is already the best talent I ever heard in my 65 years. 170+ covers, and this song is one of her original songs she wrote. Check out the black and white version of “ I put a spell on you “. She was 9 years old when this came out. Enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you
Wow!… what a great reaction. The dancing was unexpected, but totally cool. Angelina has done over 170 covers of songs (all genres, but heavily leaning to jazz). I think you will LOVE reacting (and DANCING) to another of Angelina’s original songs: “7th Heaven”! I look forward to more reactions! 💃 ❤️👣
Welcome to a musical genius Million Miles not Angelina’s first original but her first original song when she signed with Republic Records age 14 years old, Angelina wrote recorded and performed Million Miles as a tribute to her grandfather who passed away and to anyone who has lost someone, the heart felt performance is absolutely amazing and one my favourites from this musical genius, Angelina has around 175 covers and some originals too, she won Norway’s got talent at 8 years old, Angelina arranges everything she sings even from 7 years old, and makes a song her own, still paying tribute to the original artist, and sometimes better than the original artist, great reaction thanks 🙏
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won AGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota wherein lies a huge Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
Fun to watch your interpretive dance moves to this very emotional song about loss of a loved one. With over 170+ Angelina videos you can’t pick a bad one. Just be aware she arraigned all of the songs and many are at a different pace than the originals you are used to. Her focus is the story the song is about. The melody is the easy part for her because she can sing anything. Thank you from Alaska and I’ll be watching for more reactions to Angelina
This reaction was different, cool and interesting. A great collaboration between artists. I believe she was 14 yrs old here. This song was written after the passing of her grandfather and as you noticed she feels very much what she sings even when she sings covers. It's awesome that you are able to translate her music to dancing and I like that you gave us an example. There is a variety of Angelina songs you can tap into to create your own art and to translate Angelina's art into movement. This is a perfect example of what Angelina wants for the world in real time, to bring us closer together, conversational and motivational topics, to dream and make those dreams a reality and to encourage. Keep it up AnaMaria and wonderful reaction.
Pure talent, an outstanding performer, AJ is a prodigy .No doubt about it.A totally and complete professional artist. Since so young....God bless her.Thanks for the reaction and BTW beautiful dance.
So happy to see another young person reacting to Angie. Many are older, appreciating her Jazz catalogue of performances. U are so right about it being art, so much more than singing. Pls follow the suggestions posted in these comments, u won't be disappointed. Love the dance interpretation ❤
Angelina wrote this song right after her grand father passed. She signed with Republic Records in August of 2020. This is fourteen year old Angelina’s debut single. It was released in November of 2020. She said this song goes out to everyone that has suffered the loss of their loved ones.
Nice work young lady! While I consider most Angelina songs future hits, Angelina certainly inspires deep emotions much like great works of art. Also like dance and choreography is a great way to inspire and move others hearts. As an OG I’m always happy to see positivity and appreciation from our next generation. Here’s to hoping you continue sharing AJ and her art. 🤩💯♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! Yes, what she does is more than music, but is art. 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 (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (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 figure out why she performs barefoot! 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
Lovely reaction to an amazing performer. Please use some headphones when you play the music. We get it whisper quiet and slightly distorted on our end.
Always great to see young reactors to add the the mix. This song for me is a classic , and Angelina is one of a kind. Just subscribed as hopefully there will be more to follow. Suspicious Minds is a must, but there are 180 other wonders to view! Love your dancing skills.
Really enjoyed your beautiful interpretive dancing! A great idea to collaborate with Angelina's soulful, emotional singing. This one is her original song. I hope you listen and move to more of Angelina's art, using your own. Creative souls always inspire each other.
Wow, AJ music is art, yes, but your dancing part is really too, you really surprised me 😀. Hope to see morgen AJ reaction and more of your dancing. Thanks a lot.
No way.... Yes, she is from Norway 🤣 A great talent with a great versatility in her catalogue ❤️ Emotional and beautiful song about losing a loved one and I love that song ❤️
You asked ‘Is this really live’. The answer is ‘maybe’. The video and audio are recorded separately so it’s possible the audio was one take, but in general it may be two or more edited together.
You are absolutely right, this is art, and Angelina is a true artist. She paints pictures in your mind as she sings and soothes your soul with her rich, deep voice. She is 14 here (I think) and is now 16. She has a vast catalogue of songs on UA-cam but her real genre is old time jazz. Her fans are called 'angels', and you are about to get heaps of advice and information about the Barefoot Angel, so I'll shut up and let them talk. By the way, that was a fabulous dance routine!
Ha, one artist understands the other! Great! And so nice this dance you shared with us. I think you have many dance disciplines on your sleeve! 🙂 Others will explain the background of this song, which is heartbreaking. But positive too! Her artistry is the singing but also the storytelling or acting if you will. She does it with love and "connection", which you might understand better than many other people!
Great comment Eric! I want to see more dance videos by Ana to Angelina's songs, "7th Heaven" would be a great one... who knows, maybe they'll even do a collab someday, I think Angelina would appreciate this as I do and I can envision AnaMaria on stage with Angelina. Ana obviously put a lot of effort into this, she will not have pulled this off on the spot, even if she clearly had the connection from the first moment and is a very experienced dancer💗
You Got It 🤗 with first Listen 👌 That means You are Artist too ..Yes Angelina is So Much Much more than just pretty Voice Thanks for reaching to Our Singing Angel 😇 ~ OneLove 🕊
Seeing you apply your creativity and expression with dance to Angelina’s song is wonderful. Next, rather than freestyle, I wish you would choreograph something more specific to expressing the story in the lyrics.
Awesome reaction and Dancing was fantastic! Welcome to World of Angelina Music, over 170 songs in which 5 are Originals, all arranged by her. Enjoy the journey, join Rusty Schackelford's Channel. He has made various lists for reactors to use depending the way you wanting to take the ride. All he asks, that you Promote all her Platforms to your viewers, it helps her, but does help you also at the same time, God Bless!
Awesome awesome reaction! Something new..I guarantee you Angelina would simply adore your dancing to her beautiful song..I really hope she gets to watch this resction 🙏 love your vibe..Subd..
Wow, AnaMaria! Great reaction 🙂 I had the weirdest experience ever when I watched this. You know, when you first started dancing to her music, I didn't really WANT to like it, but before long my eyes were tearing up. If nothing else, that must speak directly to the way you emoted when you danced. I was feeling my tears while I asked myself what was going on. And I honestly have to thank you for that experience, as it was a first for me. Truth be told, also first time I have seen ANYONE dance to her music. Also, given your young age, I found it extra beautiful. Now I have the feeling that art recognizes art, though expressed in different ways. And that is so beautiful to watch. This video wasn't recommended to me 3 days ago when you uploaded it, but your next video, your reaction to her song 7th heaven was recommended, so I will watch that one after I have written this. I just heard that it was your 2nd reaction to her, so I really wanted to see your first reaction first. LOL I wanted to see your first first. Strange sentence 😉 Anyhow, I have subscribed to your channel, based on my experience in this one. No pressure though. I am pretty sure you will fall for Angelina BIG time, as most people who get introduced to her do. I'm Norwegian like her and I have followed her closely for 9 years, since she auditioned on Norway's Got Talent in 2014, at age 7. As you have probably already heard by now, she won that competition with a huge margin. And no wonder 🙂 See you soon, AnaMaria! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with ten songs from age 7 to 16 (plus a recent feature about her): ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html You could pick any of those other nine for your next reaction, they are all great! Though in terms of danceability, her latest original '7th Heaven' might be the bist pick from that list.
Thank you for the playlist and your time on doing that. Just subbed your channel for it. It is a great compliment to Rusty Shackleford's Angelina list. Much appreciation.
@@CarlD70 thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it. I did indeed intend with my playlists to offer different perspectives on Angelina's work. Thus, while providing several level of best-off collections with a focus on good audio quality, I tried to also ensure there is a logical place for each and every performance of her to be listed. I think it is pretty complete now, with the exception, that I didn't include most of the duplicates of her recent TikToks.
Thank you for an beautiful reaction AnaMaria, loved the dancing part very nice 🥰 me to would suggest her original 7th Heaven for you to dance to 👍 had to subscribe because love ur reaction with that dancing part, wanna see more off that 😊❤ have a beautiful day take care an stay safe 😊
Wonderful reaction and your dance was amazing, lifting the experience so much. Keep it up girl. I subscribed immediately. Angelina was 14 years here. I cant wait for your next reaction to her. Good job!
Is this really live? I guess it's combined from a number of takes, live in studio. Whatever, it's beautiful. Just feel the heartache at 6:04. Enjoyed your reaction video; it made a nice change from the norm.
What a fresh approach!... Adding dance to her voice/music has made you a one if a kind Reaction(er)... I think she will be your muse, I see your style becoming more freestyle modern type... You're going to get so many suggestions... But one thing you'll discover is that Angelina is totally unique, her voice combined with the magic of her emotions make her stand head and shoulders.. and YOUR style of reacting to music is equally unique... Best of journeys to you, Angelina has a huge portfolio of covers and some original music as well.. you have stumbled upon a new world of your own.. with Angelina inspiring you with a vast realm of 🎵🎶🎤❤️🎹. Peace!!.. can't wait to see what you present next!!
If your a dancer than you need to hear TRXD featuring Angelina Jordan in their song "Above the Water". Its a Norwegian group who made a dance track specifically with Angelina in mind!
Very nice combination of reaction and dance: thank you so much! If you want other songs to react and dance to, I would suggest ‘7th Heaven’ (another original) ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html and ‘Something’s got a hold on me now’, ua-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/v-deo.html. She has collaborated on an EDM song, called above the water, but that might be a little too easy for you :-) She wrote this song to cope with the loss of her second grandfather. It is both a sad song about loss and comforting song about your loved ones never really leaving you. In her live concerts this summer the emphasized the last part and also she sang it a lot slower giving it even more intense emotions: ua-cam.com/video/yq5KAztslWw/v-deo.html

Nice reaction Ana to (14) Angie. (nice dance moves) I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, at barely (9) ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html , even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie & her grandma Mery made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 1 3 back in Norway. They made several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Hearts” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Angie has arranged over 200 covers from 70 different artist so far & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also so far, & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already at 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combined with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW! , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =) (Why does Angie perform barefoot). Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo,] NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min. Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) ua-cam.com/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/v-deo.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction. Angelina started writing this song shortly after her 2nd grandpa died in Nov. 2019, during the filming of the semi finals of AGT-C, she was 13. Angie started to write this shortly after his death & recorded it in 2020 at 14, ( her 1st grandpa died in 2018). Republic Records Co-Founder and C.E.O. Monte Lipman heard her singing this song & personally chased her down to sign her to the label for he wanted to sign her ASAP, & they did finally at the end on Aug. 2020. Angie did some & her grandma Mery did most of the art for the (official lyric video). Angelina said, “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her Instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.” (Angie has 4 different versions of this song. Here' 3 other links to them “Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan ua-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/v-deo.html Live 7-7-22 at Kongsberg. (Angie wrote this after her grandpa died in Nov. 2019 during the filming of AGT-C) “Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan (official lyric) video ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html “Million Miles” (Official Music Video) ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html She released it on 1-28-21 at 15, Angie did the sketch for the video on how she wanted it.
...oh, and especially for you: One of your next reactions to AJ should be "Above The Water", there are two versions: An audio-only-version by TRXD: ua-cam.com/video/rpdHJJQAd9Y/v-deo.html and a fan-video with dancing people: ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html Much fun, CU in your next reaction video to Angelina Jordan Andreas 😎
I agree with you completely, she dies not simply sing, she creates masterful art! This one hits me especially hard as it was the very last song, I played for my mother, before she passed last year. ❤❤
Hi Ana Maria! NICE! First time I See a reaction with Angelina combined with dancing performance, very interesting! :) Now she is primary a Jazz singer so it´s not always upbeat. But with the best voice in the world ;) For another danceable song I would recommend "Mercy", Live at Kurbadhagen, ua-cam.com/video/w7caIRDNX-g/v-deo.html
Ana, wow you got skills girl...poping baby. Im so happy you found Angelina ...she has skills also. She been an Viral world wide performer since she was 7 years old! 16 now and she's just getting going. Love your review combining them with your mad skills with her wow. How old are you?
Here is a live 2022 concert version of Angelina (16) singing Million Miles that is even better than the studio version: ua-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/v-deo.html
JUST SUBSCRIBED AnaMaria. Very perceptive, yes Angelina is a true artist. She wrote and performed this at 14 years old not long after signing with her label Republic Records. Angelina makes you feel the song thru her interpretation and uncanny ability to her vocal skill to get your attention. As for the next song, since you like to do your own dance interpretations, which I enjoyed, I would suggest "ABOVE THE WATER". It is a very upbeat EDM genre dance song that was written for Angelina right after she turned 14. It even has dancers in the video:ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html Another more upbeat song is Duffy's "MERCY": ua-cam.com/video/7Mthm-9jECM/v-deo.html Unfortunately neither of these 2 videos shows Angelina but they show the range of genre that Angelina has. Take care. Cheers from Florida, USA
Hi there you are very talented and got nice mooves - i do not want to criticize but for me this is a very emotional sad but hopefull song - i can imaging a dancer do show the lyrics - but with different gestures if this make sense - i saw a dancer express an emotional song once and it got me to tears - the dance had to show the feeling of the song - just my feeling - i will search for it and get you a link if i find it - goodspeed
ua-cam.com/video/69A5LIBwXt4/v-deo.html this Performance shows of course a lot of Artistic skill but my point is the expressed feeling for a girl loose her brother or darling to war was so beliveble
In Deutsch für Sie AJ lebte viele Jahre in Oslo, und ihr japanischer Großvater nahm sie gerne mit in die city. "The streets saw me growing up". Opa half den Homeless People mit Essen und versuchte ihnen Jobs zu besorgen. Er war sehr angesehen in Oslo. In 2019 war die Familie wegen AJ nach LA gezogen und Opa wurde diagnostiziert. Im Krankenhaus richtete er folgende Worte an Angelina: Jordan (eigentlich ihr Rufname) Ich werde dich vom Mond aus beobachten. Ich werde überall sein, alles sehen, Du wirt niemals allein sein. Er wusste er würde sterben. In der japanischen Mythologie spielt der Mond eine wichtige Rolle. I told her in her nativ language about AJ´s grandfather, a truly real japanese gentleman. Greetings to all of you friends and CO-COMMENTERS, stay safe and sound. Elmar from Germany.
It's really cool that you're artistic dancer that's so great we're so happy that you are reacting to Angelina she has original songs and she does covers and are in our mind some of the best ever here's a link to Angelina who did win Norway's got talentAt the age of eight Here's a link when she was very little at Norways got talent feeling Good--ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html And when Angelina was 10 she did this song it's called I'm still holding out for you ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html And with a Angelina Jordan was nine years old she sang I put a spell on you ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
I enjoyed your reaction - your moves fit the music beautifully... you might try a reaction (and dance! ) to another of Angelina's originals, 7th Heaven: ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html
AnaMaria, it is obvious to me you are passionate about dancing. I believe Angelina was given the gift of song to draw attention to her message of love and empathy. She wrote Million Miles in the days after her beloved maternal grandfather passed away and she dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. I FEEL Angelina's music far more than any other in my 64 years. Please read the biography I compiled. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. 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 at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. 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. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, 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 Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
Having reacted to this one, might be interesting to see you're take on her debut into the EDM sphere (colab with TRXD) - also at 14 years old. ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html 👍👍
Interesting I liked your way of doing it - you should get 2 thumbs up, one for the dance and one for the commentary. I would suggest that you need to see one of her earliest songs let's say Summertime ua-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/v-deo.html (this is her winning song on NGT she was 7) and one of her last one Suspicious Minds ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html (wonder what are you going to say about her hair in that video). Or if you prefer something faster for dancing maybe you should try Feeling Good ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html

![Dimash Qudaibergen - Know [FIRST TIME REACTION]](/img/tr.png)
Interesting combination of reaction and dance. I think some other original songs from Angelina that would be good for this format would be "Above the Water", and "7th Heaven". Be sure to check those out!
And as always for anyone that is just discovering Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 16
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 160 songs and over 70 artists. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse, Lana del Rey, and Adele like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Above the Water and 7th Heaven would be perfect for this young lady.
try "above the water" it will sooth your dancing ability
Nice and interesting reaction! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 16 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out next year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
I agree Angelina's music is art and I enjoyed your interpretive dance.
"It's more than music .. it's art" - great comment! I think maybe you get who Angelina is.
I highly recommend that you use a quality set of head phones when listening to Angelina sing. They will provide you with the ability to hear every nuance of her brilliant vocal capabilities.
I enjoyed that with you dance interpretation. Great job and welcome the Angelina's world......
I fell in love with her voice when she was 8 years old when she won Norways Got Talent.
Welcome to the mega talented Angelina Jordan. She is 16 years old, and is already the best talent I ever heard in my 65 years. 170+ covers, and this song is one of her original songs she wrote. Check out the black and white version of “ I put a spell on you “. She was 9 years old when this came out. Enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you
Yes, she is 16 years old now, but when she recorded this song she was only 14.
Like your dancing, the music flows from her.
Wow!… what a great reaction. The dancing was unexpected, but totally cool.
Angelina has done over 170 covers of songs (all genres, but heavily leaning to jazz).
I think you will LOVE reacting (and DANCING) to another of Angelina’s original songs: “7th Heaven”!
I look forward to more reactions! 💃
❤️👣
Welcome to a musical genius Million Miles not Angelina’s first original but her first original song when she signed with Republic Records age 14 years old, Angelina wrote recorded and performed Million Miles as a tribute to her grandfather who passed away and to anyone who has lost someone, the heart felt performance is absolutely amazing and one my favourites from this musical genius, Angelina has around 175 covers and some originals too, she won Norway’s got talent at 8 years old, Angelina arranges everything she sings even from 7 years old, and makes a song her own, still paying tribute to the original artist, and sometimes better than the original artist, great reaction thanks 🙏
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won AGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota wherein lies a huge Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
Fun to watch your interpretive dance moves to this very emotional song about loss of a loved one. With over 170+ Angelina videos you can’t pick a bad one. Just be aware she arraigned all of the songs and many are at a different pace than the originals you are used to. Her focus is the story the song is about. The melody is the easy part for her because she can sing anything. Thank you from Alaska and I’ll be watching for more reactions to Angelina
This reaction was different, cool and interesting. A great collaboration between artists. I believe she was 14 yrs old here. This song was written after the passing of her grandfather and as you noticed she feels very much what she sings even when she sings covers. It's awesome that you are able to translate her music to dancing and I like that you gave us an example. There is a variety of Angelina songs you can tap into to create your own art and to translate Angelina's art into movement. This is a perfect example of what Angelina wants for the world in real time, to bring us closer together, conversational and motivational topics, to dream and make those dreams a reality and to encourage. Keep it up AnaMaria and wonderful reaction.
Pure talent, an outstanding performer, AJ is a prodigy .No doubt about it.A totally and complete professional artist. Since so young....God bless her.Thanks for the reaction and BTW beautiful dance.
Lock at the dance-version of Angelina Js Above the wather. TRXD / Angelina Jordan - Above the Water
Welcome to Angelina's world.
So happy to see another young person reacting to Angie. Many are older, appreciating her Jazz catalogue of performances. U are so right about it being art, so much more than singing. Pls follow the suggestions posted in these comments, u won't be disappointed. Love the dance interpretation ❤
Very unusual reaction... I liked it though! Great dance moves to a great song!
Great comments ,you are so right this is musical art like we have not heard before, wonderful dance interpretation...
How very interesting you are... Your reaction leads to dancing.
Angelina wrote this song right after her grand father passed. She signed with Republic Records in August of 2020. This is fourteen year old Angelina’s debut single. It was released in November of 2020. She said this song goes out to everyone that has suffered the loss of their loved ones.
Beautiful way to react to our angel.
Nice work young lady! While I consider most Angelina songs future hits, Angelina certainly inspires deep emotions much like great works of art.
Also like dance and choreography is a great way to inspire and move others hearts. As an OG I’m always happy to see positivity and appreciation from our next generation.
Here’s to hoping you continue sharing AJ and her art. 🤩💯♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your reaction. Your voice is so much louder than the video.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! Yes, what she does is more than music, but is art. 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 (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (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 figure out why she performs barefoot!
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
Lovely reaction to an amazing performer.
Please use some headphones when you play the music. We get it whisper quiet and slightly distorted on our end.
More Angelina please
Always great to see young reactors to add the the mix. This song for me is a classic , and Angelina is one of a kind. Just subscribed as hopefully there will be more to follow. Suspicious Minds is a must, but there are 180 other wonders to view! Love your dancing skills.
Appreciate ur enthusiasm Very nice!
Really enjoyed your beautiful interpretive dancing! A great idea to collaborate with Angelina's soulful, emotional singing. This one is her original song. I hope you listen and move to more of Angelina's art, using your own. Creative souls always inspire each other.
Wow, AJ music is art, yes, but your dancing part is really too, you really surprised me 😀.
Hope to see morgen AJ reaction and more of your dancing. Thanks a lot.
No way.... Yes, she is from Norway 🤣 A great talent with a great versatility in her catalogue ❤️ Emotional and beautiful song about losing a loved one and I love that song ❤️
You asked ‘Is this really live’. The answer is ‘maybe’. The video and audio are recorded separately so it’s possible the audio was one take, but in general it may be two or more edited together.
Angelina is 16 years old now 17 in January 2023 !
Go girl you doing great .
You are absolutely right, this is art, and Angelina is a true artist. She paints pictures in your mind as she sings and soothes your soul with her rich, deep voice. She is 14 here (I think) and is now 16. She has a vast catalogue of songs on UA-cam but her real genre is old time jazz. Her fans are called 'angels', and you are about to get heaps of advice and information about the Barefoot Angel, so I'll shut up and let them talk. By the way, that was a fabulous dance routine!
Ha, one artist understands the other! Great! And so nice this dance you shared with us. I think you have many dance disciplines on your sleeve! 🙂
Others will explain the background of this song, which is heartbreaking. But positive too! Her artistry is the singing but also the storytelling or acting if you will. She does it with love and "connection", which you might understand better than many other people!
Great comment Eric! I want to see more dance videos by Ana to Angelina's songs, "7th Heaven" would be a great one... who knows, maybe they'll even do a collab someday, I think Angelina would appreciate this as I do and I can envision AnaMaria on stage with Angelina. Ana obviously put a lot of effort into this, she will not have pulled this off on the spot, even if she clearly had the connection from the first moment and is a very experienced dancer💗
@@Hundhammer Not to mention Angelina's little sister: "Juliet". She loves to dance and I think that would be something that would be good enough!
You Got It 🤗 with first Listen 👌 That means You are Artist too ..Yes Angelina is So Much Much more than just pretty Voice
Thanks for reaching to Our Singing Angel 😇 ~ OneLove 🕊
your bebopping quite meshes with the song. I enjoy it a lot. thx.
I appreciate your honest reaction and the presentation....
Continue to support AJ !!!
Seeing you apply your creativity and expression with dance to Angelina’s song is wonderful. Next, rather than freestyle, I wish you would choreograph something more specific to expressing the story in the lyrics.
Awesome reaction and Dancing was fantastic! Welcome to World of Angelina Music, over 170 songs in which 5 are Originals, all arranged by her. Enjoy the journey, join Rusty Schackelford's Channel. He has made various lists for reactors to use depending the way you wanting to take the ride. All he asks, that you Promote all her Platforms to your viewers, it helps her, but does help you also at the same time, God Bless!
thank you.
Also try her cover of Duffy's "Mercy".
Awesome awesome reaction! Something new..I guarantee you Angelina would simply adore your dancing to her beautiful song..I really hope she gets to watch this resction 🙏 love your vibe..Subd..
Wow, AnaMaria! Great reaction 🙂 I had the weirdest experience ever when I watched this. You know, when you first started dancing to her music, I didn't really WANT to like it, but before long my eyes were tearing up. If nothing else, that must speak directly to the way you emoted when you danced. I was feeling my tears while I asked myself what was going on. And I honestly have to thank you for that experience, as it was a first for me. Truth be told, also first time I have seen ANYONE dance to her music. Also, given your young age, I found it extra beautiful. Now I have the feeling that art recognizes art, though expressed in different ways. And that is so beautiful to watch. This video wasn't recommended to me 3 days ago when you uploaded it, but your next video, your reaction to her song 7th heaven was recommended, so I will watch that one after I have written this. I just heard that it was your 2nd reaction to her, so I really wanted to see your first reaction first. LOL I wanted to see your first first. Strange sentence 😉 Anyhow, I have subscribed to your channel, based on my experience in this one. No pressure though. I am pretty sure you will fall for Angelina BIG time, as most people who get introduced to her do. I'm Norwegian like her and I have followed her closely for 9 years, since she auditioned on Norway's Got Talent in 2014, at age 7. As you have probably already heard by now, she won that competition with a huge margin. And no wonder 🙂 See you soon, AnaMaria! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with ten songs from age 7 to 16 (plus a recent feature about her): ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html
You could pick any of those other nine for your next reaction, they are all great! Though in terms of danceability, her latest original '7th Heaven' might be the bist pick from that list.
Thank you for the playlist and your time on doing that. Just subbed your channel for it. It is a great compliment to Rusty Shackleford's Angelina list. Much appreciation.
@@CarlD70 thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it. I did indeed intend with my playlists to offer different perspectives on Angelina's work. Thus, while providing several level of best-off collections with a focus on good audio quality, I tried to also ensure there is a logical place for each and every performance of her to be listed. I think it is pretty complete now, with the exception, that I didn't include most of the duplicates of her recent TikToks.
Thank you for an beautiful reaction AnaMaria, loved the dancing part very nice 🥰 me to would suggest her original 7th Heaven for you to dance to 👍 had to subscribe because love ur reaction with that dancing part, wanna see more off that 😊❤ have a beautiful day take care an stay safe 😊
Wonderful reaction and your dance was amazing, lifting the experience so much. Keep it up girl. I subscribed immediately. Angelina was 14 years here. I cant wait for your next reaction to her. Good job!
Is this really live? I guess it's combined from a number of takes, live in studio. Whatever, it's beautiful. Just feel the heartache at 6:04. Enjoyed your reaction video; it made a nice change from the norm.
What a fresh approach!... Adding dance to her voice/music has made you a one if a kind Reaction(er)... I think she will be your muse, I see your style becoming more freestyle modern type... You're going to get so many suggestions... But one thing you'll discover is that Angelina is totally unique, her voice combined with the magic of her emotions make her stand head and shoulders.. and YOUR style of reacting to music is equally unique... Best of journeys to you, Angelina has a huge portfolio of covers and some original music as well.. you have stumbled upon a new world of your own.. with Angelina inspiring you with a vast realm of 🎵🎶🎤❤️🎹. Peace!!.. can't wait to see what you present next!!
If your a dancer than you need to hear TRXD featuring Angelina Jordan in their song "Above the Water". Its a Norwegian group who made a dance track specifically with Angelina in mind!
Very nice combination of reaction and dance: thank you so much! If you want other songs to react and dance to, I would suggest ‘7th Heaven’ (another original) ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html and ‘Something’s got a hold on me now’, ua-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/v-deo.html. She has collaborated on an EDM song, called above the water, but that might be a little too easy for you :-)
She wrote this song to cope with the loss of her second grandfather. It is both a sad song about loss and comforting song about your loved ones never really leaving you. In her live concerts this summer the emphasized the last part and also she sang it a lot slower giving it even more intense emotions: ua-cam.com/video/yq5KAztslWw/v-deo.html

You must ! react to other videos from our Angel, this was special...your moves are great with AG"s singing...like it! Welcome and just subscribe...
Nice reaction Ana to (14) Angie. (nice dance moves) I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please
read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very
young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, at barely (9) ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html , even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie
& her grandma Mery made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 1
3 back in Norway. They made several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Hearts” & she was/is
the youngest to be published in Norway.
Angie has arranged over 200 covers from 70 different artist so far & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also so far, & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already at 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song
the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combined with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15
years. Then it can be opened. WOW! , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =)
(Why does Angie perform barefoot). Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo,] NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min.
Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9)
ua-cam.com/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/v-deo.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction.
Angelina started writing this song shortly after her 2nd grandpa died in Nov. 2019, during the filming
of the semi finals of AGT-C, she was 13. Angie started to write this shortly after his death & recorded it in 2020 at 14, ( her 1st grandpa died in 2018). Republic Records Co-Founder and C.E.O. Monte Lipman
heard her singing this song & personally chased her down to sign her to the label for he wanted to sign
her ASAP, & they did finally at the end on Aug. 2020. Angie did some & her grandma Mery did most of the art for the (official lyric video). Angelina said, “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one.
I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her Instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.” (Angie has 4 different versions of this song. Here' 3 other links to them
“Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan ua-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/v-deo.html Live 7-7-22 at Kongsberg. (Angie wrote this after her grandpa died in Nov. 2019 during the filming of AGT-C)

❤
...oh, and especially for you: One of your next reactions to AJ should be "Above The Water", there are two versions: An audio-only-version by TRXD: ua-cam.com/video/rpdHJJQAd9Y/v-deo.html and a fan-video with dancing people: ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html
Much fun, CU in your next reaction video to Angelina Jordan
Andreas
😎
I agree with you completely, she dies not simply sing, she creates masterful art! This one hits me especially hard as it was the very last song, I played for my mother, before she passed last year. ❤❤
Hi Ana Maria! NICE! First time I See a reaction with Angelina combined with dancing performance, very interesting! :) Now she is primary a Jazz singer so it´s not always upbeat. But with the best voice in the world ;) For another danceable song I would recommend "Mercy", Live at Kurbadhagen, ua-cam.com/video/w7caIRDNX-g/v-deo.html
I think u would like Angelina and TRXD ABOVE THE WATER. ANGELINA SINGS DANCERS DANCE AND U DANCE VERY WELL
Ana, wow you got skills girl...poping baby.
Im so happy you found Angelina ...she has skills also. She been an Viral world wide performer since she was 7 years old! 16 now and she's just getting going. Love your review combining them with your mad skills with her wow. How old are you?
Here is another powerful live performance from Angelina during 2022 (I Have Nothing): ua-cam.com/video/bELcgA4S7mM/v-deo.html
Your funny 😂 Great reaction 👍🇳🇴
Here is a live 2022 concert version of Angelina (16) singing Million Miles that is even better than the studio version: ua-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/v-deo.html
JUST SUBSCRIBED AnaMaria. Very perceptive, yes Angelina is a true artist. She wrote and performed this at 14 years old not long after signing with her label Republic Records. Angelina makes you feel the song thru her interpretation and uncanny ability to her vocal skill to get your attention. As for the next song, since you like to do your own dance interpretations, which I enjoyed, I would suggest "ABOVE THE WATER". It is a very upbeat EDM genre dance song that was written for Angelina right after she turned 14. It even has dancers in the video:ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html
Another more upbeat song is Duffy's "MERCY": ua-cam.com/video/7Mthm-9jECM/v-deo.html
Unfortunately neither of these 2 videos shows Angelina but they show the range of genre that Angelina has. Take care. Cheers from Florida, USA
Hi there you are very talented and got nice mooves - i do not want to criticize but for me this is a very emotional sad but hopefull song - i can imaging a dancer do show the lyrics - but with different gestures if this make sense - i saw a dancer express an emotional song once and it got me to tears - the dance had to show the feeling of the song - just my feeling - i will search for it and get you a link if i find it - goodspeed
ua-cam.com/video/69A5LIBwXt4/v-deo.html
this Performance shows of course a lot of Artistic skill but my point is the expressed feeling for a girl loose her brother or darling to war was so beliveble
Not LIVE-LIVE... but studio live-like... minimal post production. More than one take. Video proves that.
❤ Angie ❤ Greetings from Florida
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes!!!! Please do 7th heaven like the comments say ma’am, have to see you dance again to this!!!!!!! I’m a new sub definitely 🤘
I would like to see you dance to Angelinas EDM song "Above the water" ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html
I agree!
She is 14 yo in the video but is 16 now.
Really, you need to adjust the artist"s video volume; it is much to low. Much.
Thank you.😊
In Deutsch für Sie AJ lebte viele Jahre in Oslo, und ihr japanischer Großvater nahm sie gerne mit in die city. "The streets saw me growing up". Opa half den Homeless People mit Essen und versuchte ihnen Jobs zu besorgen. Er war sehr angesehen in Oslo. In 2019 war die Familie wegen AJ nach LA gezogen und Opa wurde diagnostiziert. Im Krankenhaus richtete er folgende Worte an Angelina: Jordan (eigentlich ihr Rufname) Ich werde dich vom Mond aus beobachten. Ich werde überall sein, alles sehen, Du wirt niemals allein sein.
Er wusste er würde sterben. In der japanischen Mythologie spielt der Mond eine wichtige Rolle.
I told her in her nativ language about AJ´s grandfather, a truly real japanese gentleman.
Greetings to all of you friends and CO-COMMENTERS, stay safe and sound. Elmar from Germany.
It's really cool that you're artistic dancer that's so great we're so happy that you are reacting to Angelina she has original songs and she does covers and are in our mind some of the best ever here's a link to Angelina who did win Norway's got talentAt the age of eight Here's a link when she was very little at Norways got talent feeling Good--ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
And when Angelina was 10 she did this song it's called I'm still holding out for you ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html
And with a Angelina Jordan was nine years old she sang I put a spell on you ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
I enjoyed your reaction - your moves fit the music beautifully... you might try a reaction (and dance! ) to another of Angelina's originals, 7th Heaven: ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html
Yeah 7th Heaven is definitely a danceable song! :-)
AnaMaria, it is obvious to me you are passionate about dancing. I believe Angelina was given the gift of song to draw attention to her message of love and empathy. She wrote Million Miles in the days after her beloved maternal grandfather passed away and she dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. I FEEL Angelina's music far more than any other in my 64 years. Please read the biography I compiled.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. 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 at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”.
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.
In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration.
Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs.
At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances.
When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident.
Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year.
During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each.
In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT.
Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, 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 Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her.
During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.
In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”
In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song.
Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram.
Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
I love You

Here you go complete with shuffle dancers
She was 14 years old
Having reacted to this one, might be interesting to see you're take on her debut into the EDM sphere (colab with TRXD) - also at 14 years old. ua-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/v-deo.html 👍👍
Subtitule, subtitulos plis
Interesting I liked your way of doing it - you should get 2 thumbs up, one for the dance and one for the commentary. I would suggest that you need to see one of her earliest songs let's say Summertime ua-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/v-deo.html (this is her winning song on NGT she was 7) and one of her last one Suspicious Minds ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html (wonder what are you going to say about her hair in that video). Or if you prefer something faster for dancing maybe you should try Feeling Good ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
subtitles please
I'm glad YOU can hear it, but you have your sound too low.
Nice dancing but it has nothing to do with interpreting the words of the music.
