We angels never tire of watching reactions to this incredible performance. 9 year old Angelina, seen writing her wishes at the start of the video, took control of the studio and musicians to deliver, IMO, the best version of this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. The musicians called Angelina, "the boss". Angelina is 18 now and has said she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed by 16 of them. Here is the list. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... debuted at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad "Thank You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert 9/20/24 "What Am I to You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.

Yes, her soul has been touched by many singers from years gone by and when you include the depth of her voice with her soulfulness what we hear is something beyond our imagination. Because of all that musical wrapped up inside her she is able to do almost anything she wants to. She sings covers of today's fabulous artists and she pays homage to the original song and artist but after she adds her Angelina interpretational feelings to the song her version actually becomes a brand new song! AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SHE WAS 7 TEARS OLD!
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
There's an interview where she mentioned her own written song " shield" was inspired by bond. Diamonds are forever was her favourite. Shirld is worth a look. One of my favourites of hers.
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html
She has been ON IT from such a young age. people may think perhaps 7 but she started taking in all her musician influences when she was only a little over 1 year old. That is crazy, unfathomable to me but it’s 100% true. Her parents and grandparents exposed her to the best jazz singers from the second she came out of the womb. As you continue to watch more of her performances, you’ll see new colors and textures of her voice. she discovered + grew new parts of her voice in real time as she delivered performances throughout the years. She won Norway got talent when she was 7, but the vocal growth when she was 7-10, 11-14, and 15-18 years old alone is mind blowing in itself. Her voice has always sounded way beyond her years and I think that is something that will never quite change. She really did her thing on this song, I never expect anything less from her
This little prodigy is 9 and has arranged this whole take from Screaming Joe Hawkins's production known as The Boss, she has already won Norway Got Talent and has written a book "Between two Hearts" "Norway's youngest author" a story about why she performs barefoot Angelina speaks 2 languages fluently and sings in 5 languages and she plays the piano, flute, violin, and guitar and also paints awarded with a dynamite family that allows her to be a child while growing up a prodigy you can follow her videos "over 200 covers on U-tube" from age7 to present 18 also the best is her followers called angels "some of the nicest people on the net" that will deluge you with information about her to watch you hearing this musical master do what she loves singing Welcome to the rabbit hole
Most of us Angels don’t have a favorite Angelina song because there are too many great performances in completely different styles at different ages. It’s impossible to compare them. But most of have our own list of perhaps a couple dozen favorites that we really, really love. The other 150 or so we just love a little less. I Put a Spell on You is near the top of everyone’s lists. You understand why now. To further understand how truly great Angelina is, watch another song that’s always near the top. It’s her version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Today you saw her at 9. She’s 13 for Bohemian Rhapsody. Both are her own arrangements. Watch a completely different Angelina mesmerize a huge audience with vocal magic that you could never imagine or expect. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.htmlsi=RSBHtM95FgG7AiNR
You are now officially under Angelina's spell. Many people are not aware that Screamin' Jay Hawkens did a sequel to this song called "You Put a Spell on Me". ua-cam.com/video/WvUU44SmjnA/v-deo.htmlsi=e7xqd2FFq8I5rLqx Was he able to see the future and witness Angelina's performance? Lol It will be very cool if Angelina performs this one too. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
She started singing at one and a half years old and she started with jazz,,English is not her native language,, she plays about four musical instruments and writes music,, her first studio recording was at six years old,,and she wrote a book about why she sings barefoot,, she has done hundreds of covers,, and there is a Documentary about her beginning journey until she was 13 years old call ( wrapped in a warm blanket, her younger years) it shows her singing at one and a half years old and it was a Whitney Houston song,, she won Norway got talent at 7-8 years old and she was on American got talent at 13 years old, there is a video of all 4 songs that she did and with sub titles,, also always watch from beginning to end of all interviews and videos of her, you will learn lots,, She sings Billy holiday, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Louie Armstrong , Elvis, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Adele, so many,, her grandmother was her biggest help,, she has beautiful brown eyes, and when she moved to California she started wearing blue contacts which is also beautiful,, you might want to watch all her youngest songs first,, great reaction!!
Well, that’s the barefoot princess. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. She is absolutely, absolutely of the best singers on the planet. She has gotten me through some dark times. I’m a veteran of foreign war 56 years old, I listen to her every day and she has pulled me through some dark times. Absolutely love, the barefoot princess.
Elvis had the same vibrato IMP. I’ve been watching his early movies lately and it’s amazing how similar Angelina sounds like his style vocally. But Angelina has more tools vocally/ the ability to sing in multiple genres
steven Elvis' performance of multiple genres of music, including blues, pop, R&B, country, holiday, soul, country, gospel, alternative, jazz, and folk is unprecedented. He didn’t just play these genres; he conquered them.

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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial 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 Frank Sinatra “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. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage. On May 16, 2024, the first fruits of Angelina's cooperation with Tobi Gad were released. This German composer and record producer based in Los Angeles invited Angeline to an intimate concert at the Hotel Cafe JESSE & FRIENDS, the same one where Adel sang and was discovered. Tobi then took Angelina to London, where she performed His song If I Were A Boy at the London Palladium, and they recorded two versions of the song, Live At Saint James Church, and another studio version illustrated with a film from the streets of London. It seems that Tobi has started cooperation with Angelina and there are several joint songs in the pipeline. At the May concert in Los Angeles, one of them was presented: BAD VALENTINE. Angelina perform Concert at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA on Sept. 20th, 2024. On the same day she released her new orginal singiel in cooperation with Tobi Gad Bad Valentine.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
I love reading all these comments. We all truly adore this young lady and are rooting so hard for her. I love watching people find out about her and perhaps permanently stick around for the journey
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 I assume that Angelina is new to you. I saw this very video over a year ago, and this now young woman has become my favorite singer. I just flew to LA this last 20th to see her concert, and it was the most memorable one that I have ever been to. Enjoy the journey because there is so much to enjoy with her. She is supreamly versatile and incredibly talented. Even if you think that I exaggerate, just keep exploring her music and then see what you think six weeks from now.
Just Subbed Justin, see that you are taking a trip down this marvelous rabbit hole... this one here from the 9 year old sent millions of her fans down the beautiful rabbit hole...there are well over 300 YT, Tiktoks, and IG's to enjoy. Keep them coming and so will we. Cheers.
This is the video sent to me by the algorithm that set me down this path. Listen to Shield, her James Bond song. She said it was meant to be like a Bond song.
She did perform 'Diamonds Are Forever' in concert at age 11 (and did it very well). Her original 'Shield' about her thanks to her family has Bond vibes throughout.
You've now heard two studio tracks and one that appeared to be recorded "spontaneously" on a couch, but I'm pretty sure was actually some kind of "home-studio" audio recording (meaning, initially recorded in audio-only form, and probably edited together from more than one take [but maybe not]) that she just decided to record a separate "lip-synced" visual for, because there wasn't any video of her actually singing the song. (She / her family sometimes released "slideshow videos" for those kinds of audio-only recordings. For whatever reason, she decided to do a lip-sync video for "I'd Rather Go Blind".) In any case, now you should hear one of her honest-to-goodness, unmistakably live performances. The best example of that (IMO) from the approximate time period you have found yourself in (this one you just watched was when she was 9 years old) is "Feeling Good", performed absolutely live on a charity-related TV special called _The Stream Gir Tilbake_ [The Stream Gives Back] when she was 10. (It is found on her Official channel, like this one was. BTW, there's more than one "Feeling Good" on her channel, so look for her age and the name of the TV show in the title.) By "absolutely" live, I mean that she didn't just perform it in front of a live audience, it was actually *broadcast* live. Now, you go watch that (and react to it, of course) and tell me that there is - or ever has been - any other 10-year-old who could slay that song, live, as hard as she did.😊
You mentioned James Bond, it made me think of Angelina's live rendition of Cry Me a River when she was 12 years old, definitely worth your time ua-cam.com/video/73T6ufKk_LU/v-deo.html Watch at 30 seconds for the reaction of the clarinet player when she starts to sing.
Feeling Good @ 10 on TV or Something's Got a Hold on Me outdoors in Norway ! This is why he's so fearless/confident when she's on stage regardless the size of the audience !!!
Keep listening to the princess. Soon she will dominate the Grammys
We angels never tire of watching reactions to this incredible performance. 9 year old Angelina, seen writing her wishes at the start of the video, took control of the studio and musicians to deliver, IMO, the best version of this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. The musicians called Angelina, "the boss". Angelina is 18 now and has said she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed by 16 of them. Here is the list.
"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
"Oslo" age 11
"Shield" age 12
"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17

"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, she is always amazing.

Yes, her soul has been touched by many singers from years gone by and when you include the depth of her voice with her soulfulness what we hear is something beyond our imagination. Because of all that musical wrapped up inside her she is able to do almost anything she wants to. She sings covers of today's fabulous artists and she pays homage to the original song and artist but after she adds her Angelina interpretational feelings to the song her version actually becomes a brand new song! AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SHE WAS 7 TEARS OLD!
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
she does a james bond song, diamonds are forever, its live when shes about 11
That tiny little girl is now an 18-year-old, 6 ft 1 in Goddess of Song!
There's an interview where she mentioned her own written song " shield" was inspired by bond. Diamonds are forever was her favourite. Shirld is worth a look. One of my favourites of hers.
Angelina Jordan - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz - Best Jazz singer in the world. Best singer in the world. ❤👣👸🏻🎷
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html
She has been ON IT from such a young age. people may think perhaps 7 but she started taking in all her musician influences when she was only a little over 1 year old. That is crazy, unfathomable to me but it’s 100% true. Her parents and grandparents exposed her to the best jazz singers from the second she came out of the womb. As you continue to watch more of her performances, you’ll see new colors and textures of her voice. she discovered + grew new parts of her voice in real time as she delivered performances throughout the years. She won Norway got talent when she was 7, but the vocal growth when she was 7-10, 11-14, and 15-18 years old alone is mind blowing in itself. Her voice has always sounded way beyond her years and I think that is something that will never quite change. She really did her thing on this song, I never expect anything less from her
This little prodigy is 9 and has arranged this whole take from Screaming Joe Hawkins's production known as The Boss, she has already won Norway Got Talent and has written a book "Between two Hearts" "Norway's youngest author" a story about why she performs barefoot Angelina speaks 2 languages fluently and sings in 5 languages and she plays the piano, flute, violin, and guitar and also paints awarded with a dynamite family that allows her to be a child while growing up a prodigy you can follow her videos "over 200 covers on U-tube" from age7 to present 18 also the best is her followers called angels "some of the nicest people on the net" that will deluge you with information about her to watch you hearing this musical master do what she loves singing Welcome to the rabbit hole
Thanks for the reaction. Those of us who are addicted to her will watch more than once!
Most of us Angels don’t have a favorite Angelina song because there are too many great performances in completely different styles at different ages. It’s impossible to compare them. But most of have our own list of perhaps a couple dozen favorites that we really, really love. The other 150 or so we just love a little less.
I Put a Spell on You is near the top of everyone’s lists. You understand why now. To further understand how truly great Angelina is, watch another song that’s always near the top. It’s her version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Today you saw her at 9. She’s 13 for Bohemian Rhapsody. Both are her own arrangements. Watch a completely different Angelina mesmerize a huge audience with vocal magic that you could never imagine or expect. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.htmlsi=RSBHtM95FgG7AiNR
Welcome to the world of the Barefoot Princess. She is the real deal .
She arranged this herself a prodigy like Grandmother Mery😮
An amazing performance no matter how many times I have seen it, unbelievable!
I'm with you...I have listened to this hundreds of times and it ALWAYS AMAZES!
@@PhilipKnopp I agree.
You are now officially under Angelina's spell.
Many people are not aware that Screamin' Jay Hawkens did a sequel to this song called "You Put a Spell on Me". ua-cam.com/video/WvUU44SmjnA/v-deo.htmlsi=e7xqd2FFq8I5rLqx Was he able to see the future and witness Angelina's performance? Lol
It will be very cool if Angelina performs this one too.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
I did not know that, thanks.
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina.
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
She started singing at one and a half years old and she started with jazz,,English is not her native language,, she plays about four musical instruments and writes music,, her first studio recording was at six years old,,and she wrote a book about why she sings barefoot,, she has done hundreds of covers,, and there is a Documentary about her beginning journey until she was 13 years old call ( wrapped in a warm blanket, her younger years) it shows her singing at one and a half years old and it was a Whitney Houston song,, she won Norway got talent at 7-8 years old and she was on American got talent at 13 years old, there is a video of all 4 songs that she did and with sub titles,, also always watch from beginning to end of all interviews and videos of her, you will learn lots,, She sings Billy holiday, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Louie Armstrong , Elvis, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Adele, so many,, her grandmother was her biggest help,, she has beautiful brown eyes, and when she moved to California she started wearing blue contacts which is also beautiful,, you might want to watch all her youngest songs first,, great reaction!!
Some are just born with this talent and am happy she is sharing hers. Thanks for reacting to it🙏🏽✌🏽
Well, that’s the barefoot princess. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. She is absolutely, absolutely of the best singers on the planet. She has gotten me through some dark times. I’m a veteran of foreign war 56 years old, I listen to her every day and she has pulled me through some dark times. Absolutely love, the barefoot princess.
The young legend! 9 yerars old in this peformance
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Elvis had the same vibrato IMP. I’ve been watching his early movies lately and it’s amazing how similar Angelina sounds like his style vocally. But Angelina has more tools vocally/ the ability to sing in multiple genres
steven Elvis' performance of multiple genres of music, including blues, pop, R&B, country, holiday, soul, country, gospel, alternative, jazz, and folk is unprecedented. He didn’t just play these genres; he conquered them.
@@103mrg thank you 🙏

A Bond tune has long been on her bucket list.
Suddenly you hear it: MUSICAL MAGIC !!!
"Thoughts are Magic... Thoughts Create Everything... Think Wisely.!!!" - Miss. Angilina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide...
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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial 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 Frank Sinatra “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. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage.
On May 16, 2024, the first fruits of Angelina's cooperation with Tobi Gad were released. This German composer and record producer based in Los Angeles invited Angeline to an intimate concert at the Hotel Cafe JESSE & FRIENDS, the same one where Adel sang and was discovered. Tobi then took Angelina to London, where she performed His song If I Were A Boy at the London Palladium, and they recorded two versions of the song, Live At Saint James Church, and another studio version illustrated with a film from the streets of London. It seems that Tobi has started cooperation with Angelina and there are several joint songs in the pipeline. At the May concert in Los Angeles, one of them was presented: BAD VALENTINE.
Angelina perform Concert at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA on Sept. 20th, 2024. On the same day she released her new orginal singiel in cooperation with Tobi Gad Bad Valentine.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
💯
So true! Total flamey! Glad you liked it! ❤
I love reading all these comments. We all truly adore this young lady and are rooting so hard for her. I love watching people find out about her and perhaps permanently stick around for the journey
Check out her cover of "Feeling Good" so you can truly experience the James Bond reference.
♥♥♥♥♥
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 I assume that Angelina is new to you. I saw this very video over a year ago, and this now young woman has become my favorite singer. I just flew to LA this last 20th to see her concert, and it was the most memorable one that I have ever been to. Enjoy the journey because there is so much to enjoy with her. She is supreamly versatile and incredibly talented. Even if you think that I exaggerate, just keep exploring her music and then see what you think six weeks from now.
Yes, she is all that and more, great reaction Justin!!
Just Subbed Justin, see that you are taking a trip down this marvelous rabbit hole... this one here from the 9 year old sent millions of her fans down the beautiful rabbit hole...there are well over 300 YT, Tiktoks, and IG's to enjoy. Keep them coming and so will we. Cheers.
Thank you Justin for great reaction. . 😊
As you say, anybody is influenced by somebody, but Angelina seams influenced by everybody of interest.
👍👍😍😍👍👍
🎼🤗💞
Its 9/27/24 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯
Craet reaction ❤
Give Angelina a microphone at any age and watch out. Even as young as this(9) Angelina means business with any cover that she decides to take on. Thx.
Justin u need check out the original by Screaming Jay Hawkings ....u see her inspiration hehe
… Phenomenal!! … Absolutely world class!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
She won Norway’s Got talent at 7! Billie Holiday
This is the video sent to me by the algorithm that set me down this path. Listen to Shield, her James Bond song. She said it was meant to be like a Bond song.
AJ is just awesome
Just subscribed for our beautiful barefoot Princess
My favorite pastime for the last seven years is watching people react to this. Its like watching a UFO land in their front yard. 😳
Singing and orchestral arrangement by Angelina !!!!
She did perform 'Diamonds Are Forever' in concert at age 11 (and did it very well). Her original 'Shield' about her thanks to her family has Bond vibes throughout.
I wonder how vocalists who've worked for year to perfect their craft geel when confronted by a talent like this.
Well you've done it now This is the one That after you see this video Angelina has got a hook in you...
Angelina collaborated on the song "Shield" which has a very Bondesque sound and quality.
😮😐🌹
You've now heard two studio tracks and one that appeared to be recorded "spontaneously" on a couch, but I'm pretty sure was actually some kind of "home-studio" audio recording (meaning, initially recorded in audio-only form, and probably edited together from more than one take [but maybe not]) that she just decided to record a separate "lip-synced" visual for, because there wasn't any video of her actually singing the song. (She / her family sometimes released "slideshow videos" for those kinds of audio-only recordings. For whatever reason, she decided to do a lip-sync video for "I'd Rather Go Blind".)
In any case, now you should hear one of her honest-to-goodness, unmistakably live performances. The best example of that (IMO) from the approximate time period you have found yourself in (this one you just watched was when she was 9 years old) is "Feeling Good", performed absolutely live on a charity-related TV special called _The Stream Gir Tilbake_ [The Stream Gives Back] when she was 10. (It is found on her Official channel, like this one was. BTW, there's more than one "Feeling Good" on her channel, so look for her age and the name of the TV show in the title.)
By "absolutely" live, I mean that she didn't just perform it in front of a live audience, it was actually *broadcast* live. Now, you go watch that (and react to it, of course) and tell me that there is - or ever has been - any other 10-year-old who could slay that song, live, as hard as she did.😊
You mentioned James Bond, it made me think of Angelina's live rendition of Cry Me a River when she was 12 years old, definitely worth your time ua-cam.com/video/73T6ufKk_LU/v-deo.html Watch at 30 seconds for the reaction of the clarinet player when she starts to sing.
Who is Tiny Person and Huge Voice? Never heard of them. Person is probably Swedish?🤔
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Adorable, until she opens her mouth..... 😳
Feeling Good @ 10 on TV or Something's Got a Hold on Me outdoors in Norway ! This is why he's so fearless/confident when she's on stage regardless the size of the audience !!!
