Beautiful reaction, thanks. This was the first time I heard this little fairy sing and I've been hooked ever since. In all these years I have listened to she thousands of times in hundreds of splendid interpretations and yet every time I see this first performance and it makes me move again, like the first time, with that wonderful concentration of humility, simplicity, candor, sympathy and talent. Angelina is sure my preferred singer, she is a kind of daydream that has been going on for 10 years now and continues to excite me. Now she is a young girl of 17 old years and, if is possible, is even more amazing, this girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, she will find a way to transform them with her extraordinary musical intelligence. Angelina is musical poetry.💛🧡❤
I love “little fairy.” She is 17 now and six feet tall. But she has been sprinkled with fairy dust for sure. I’ve been listening for several years. After a spell of only listening to her new EP for awhile I went back to these early songs. I had goosebumps again. That is amazing to me.
English was her third language of 4. She is seven in this audition. She is now 17 and the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with the talents of this young lady. You will never forget this day that you have discovered Angelina Jordan. She has always arranged her own music. She maintains that ability in her contract with Republic Records now. You have much to learn about this gift to us all. She is the barefoot Princess of a thousand voices. She asked her mother to enter her to perform on Norway's Got Talent when she was 5 but they require contestants to be at least 7. She waited two more years. She calls us fans "Angels." We will educate you about her, just read on.
You'll have far more amazing videos that cover the next ten years of her life. It's a living documentary of her musical growth. I have not stopped listening for four years now and her voice is a singers singer voice. I wish I could do half of what she does with her voice now. Enjoy the journey
I’m still captivated by your eyes when you watch AJ sing. 😂 It’s worth listening to Billie Holiday, both this song and the next one she sings on NGT - “I’m a fool to want you”. It’s an old style of singing that requires getting turned into. Incidentally, when the judge asks if she knows what the gloomy song is about, he pauses after her answer. Then he decides to leave it at that. The song is originally Hungarian and suggests suicide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomy_Sunday Thanks 🙏🏽 😊
Hi, welcome to Miss Angelina´s world. For the young Lady here, it might be a good idea to listen to Miss Angelina´s newest EP, to see and hear what became of that little girl. Angelina Jordan is now a fully professional vocalist. As she told us in a chat, since age ten she wrote and composed over 100 songs. I recoomend also 2 songs which she sang at Norways got Talent and a few years later again "I´m a fool to want you" and "summertime". This will you all show how she evolved. OOHH warning, Miss Angelina has a very strong voice. Example "It´s a man´s World" from James Brown. You all have a great week, German greetings.
After she won she sang in an enormous outdoor concert with adult backing singers. Just a few months after her win and she's even better. At 8 years old now WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE... she will blow your mind yet again. After that see an even bigger growth at 9 years old I PUT A SPELL ON YOU.
If you compare it to the original by Billie Holiday when, I believe, she was 29, you will think one singer (Billie) sang both renditions. This is when Angelina was referred to as a 'vocal chameleon' for she displayed, not just this time but many other times concerning other artists, that she can emulate them anytime she desires. Here, it's as if Billie was actually reincarnated into a 7 year old Norwegian girl, who's 3rd language is English. Simply mind boggling.
I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina's debut performance. Of the 4 songs she sang in this competition, this was my least favorite. Then, after listening to Angelina sing it 6 or 7 times, I went back and listened to Billie Holiday perform the original... I was in tears... In order to truly understand what Angelina has done here, you really need to listen to her and then Billie Holiday. Then you'll begin to understand the magic that took place on that stage... This is an incredibly emotional song. It's a song about suicide. It's so powerful that it was banned in some countries back in the day. Listen to Billie Holiday sing it with all that emotion and you'll believe she was sharing the stage with Angelina that night. Over the years, Angelina's had so many magical performances. But, this will always be soecial. There's a reason so many millions have listened to her performance... Link to Billie Holiday: ua-cam.com/video/KUCyjDOlnPU/v-deo.html
Yes I suggest to take a peek at Billy Holiday singing this. You would be surprised by the similarity as she is one she follows. All the old Jazz singers as Jazz is the hardest form of singing she is starting out at that level and can then sing anything.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ 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. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
You've echoed my thoughts completely. I, like many others, have been enthralled by this child (now young woman) ever since I first saw this mind-boggling performance. There isn't a day that has gone since 2016 that I haven't listened to her and I'm still amazed. Please continue to explore her 200 or more UA-cam vide performances. You will not regret it. 😎
Loved it guys. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣 You'll notice the last judge (the one with his mouth open) asked her if she knew what the song was about. I believe he was asking to see if she was aware of the history of the song. That's because 'Gloomy Sunday' is known to history as 'The Hungarian Suicide Song' and was banned in parts of Europe during WWI because many believed the song had led to a rash of suicides in the population. Angelina, unaware of this at the time, I'm sure, simply replied Yes, it's about a sad Sunday and I think the judge was pleased to realize she had a simple child's view of the song and it's meaning. Thus the comment in essence Yes I could feel that sad Sunday. Amazing Angelina would start her career with such a controversial song. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
Welcome to the Age of Angelina! Im jealous you get to experience her 11 year journey. Enjoy her 200+ videos. She has two channels and her Grandma Mery has one as well with over 300+ vids. She is a gift sent from beyond!
English is her third language of 4. All her performances on Norway's Got Talent went viral immediately. She asked her Mother to enter her in the competition when she was 5 but the rules were a minimum of 7 years. Here she is at 7! She turned 8 at the end of the competition. She won it with 46% of the vote. She was voted a National Treasure after she won. She still is! She is a gift to us all.
I loved your family-style reaction! It's nice to get several perspectives. Angelina introduced herself to the world with a bang and has never stopped singing her heart out. I think you folks would love her arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, which she premiered on America's Got Talent: The Champions. It was so good, the surviving members of Queen tweeted their congratulations to her for it. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Wonderful reaction! Especially like that your daughter was a part of this, we really enjoy hearing what people her age are thinking about Angelina's music in addition to the adult perspective. Please continue reacting as a group like this, So happy that Lulu enjoyed it ! You guys are going to pass out when you hear how good her new EP "Old Enough" is. I think Angelina is creating her own genre of music, a unique blending of everything she has experienced musically with jazz, soul, blues, pop, even a little rap and probably several others. Looking forward to seeing more Angelina with you guys.
From: keitholson40 Here is the quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on UA-cam before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. "
Angelin can speak and read English before 6 yo! Her father has worked/lived in several countries during Angelina's young years. He works in the oil industry, and has traveled a lot! There is a video where Angelina is like 4 yo, she shows her room and her toys etc., there she speaks excellent English
Thank you so very much for your reaction to Angelina's on stage debut. Nice job to suggest viewers to read your description and I encourage you to also provide a link to the original video as well as the artists' UA-cam channel (Angelina has 2, Official and Cover channels). Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist who inspires me to make the world a better place. 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. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. 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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. 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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. 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 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 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes” 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.
Love the comment Andy as always...not sure what is going on with her 2 official channels...most of the video's have been deleted by YT, both channels, very few are left now...30 something on both. Have heard different versions of what is going on....doubt that she did it but who knows....hope you have seen this.
@@CarlD70 A few months back, when I was suggesting angels to watch and comment on each video on her two channels, there were 33 videos on her Official Channel and 32 on her Cover channel. We know the majority of her videos are on channels other than her official and cover channels. I don't know if there were more videos on her channels a year or more ago.
Love that you guys have made it a family reaction so so special indeed, thank you. Angelina's version is really close to Billie Holidays, you would be even blown if you was to have a listen to it.
Just a little bit older, Angelina sings _What A Difference A Day Makes_ at an outdoor festival. You'll be able to understand her just fine and there are lyrics displayed with the video. ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
Thank you for your reactions! I would like to make a suggestion to improve your future ones for Angelina songs. We fans of Angelina (called angels) hear a lot of adult reactions but rarely get to hear ones from her contemporaries (there will be songs from her at age 7 to 17). If you were feature to Lulu more, I am sure Angelina's fans would very much appreciate her point of view. In your understandable excitement, you accidentally "stepped on" some of Lulu's comments and I felt like we somehow didn't hear her full reaction. She seems like she has much to share that we would love to hear from her unique perspective!🙏
Great reaction guys. It’s great that your daughter joined you. If you continue down the Angelina rabbit hole I think we all would love for your daughter to continue to join you. Angelina currently has a somewhat older fan base primarily because she started with covers of jazz classics and standards. However she also needs to build her following by young people to really advance and sustain her career. It would be interesting to hear Lulu’s reaction to Angelina’s new 6 song EP (released about a month ago). All songs are originals and all great. Angelina is now 17.
Loved watching your faces! Please continue to watch the next three songs in this competition, “I’m a fool to want you”, “Bang, bang”, and finally “Summertime”. You will really see her incredible progression over a few months, also see her teeth grow! You won’t be disappointed!
What can one say? She incredible, always at any age. MY wfie and I both watch and listen every single day for over 3 years now, and I only wish I discovered her sooner. You have many incredible listens ahead of you, no matter which you pick really. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. FYI her first EP just dropped, and it's literally incredible, with very current sound that still holds on to her roots.
Have you guys seen Angelinas performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT? The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ And she is 13 years old in that performance.
Welcome to the barefoot princess/the girl with 1000 voices. She will never cease to amaze you. She is absolutely a child prodigy. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. Loved your reaction going to follow you in hopes I can see more reactions to the barefoot princess from you.
she is amazing in that since then, she picked her own songs. Her singing this song, Gloomy Sunday, broke the internet when they sent it out worldwide. From the very start!! The other three songs are on this same video and are very different from this but you can really get it. She was NINE when she did I Put a Spell on You. The next song she did acapella .. and it is very difficult to sing. She rocks it. Then she does Bang, Bang and ends with Summertime. Really worth seeing it all.
When asked in an interview why she was crying backstage, Angelina's mother Sara said it was because at that moment she realized that she would have to share her daughter with the world. Thank you, Sara.
Yes, this was the moment when the people of the world officially discovered Angelina. Besides her incredible vocal attributes what was so striking about this performance was her poise and confidence. She would later tell all of us she is most comfortable in life when she is singing 'for people', particularly on a stage'. Some members of her fan base (her 'angels') will be sending you all kinds of data (playlists and bio's) about her and you will find out why she sings barefoot. So glad you played this video and enjoyed it so much. There is much, much more for you to listen to if you choose to join us on her journey. She's now 17. If you're curious what she must sound like now it's okay if you skip ahead but, it would be unfair to you if you skipped past her performances when she was 7,8,9,10,11,12,13, etc., (you get the idea). I just subscribed. See ya soon!
Great reaction and insight! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not been widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release. Here is a chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of Angelina's nearly 200 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The first dozen or so are her originals and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically at age 6. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Guys, please continue watching the entire Norway Got Talent contest, showcasing Angelina's amazing singing ability. To answer your question: "Who is Billie Holiday?" She was an American Jazz and swing music singer back in the 50's. Angelina admired her voice along with Jazz music and the singers from back in the Day. Her grandmother who loves Jazz music, was and is still a large influence in Angelina's career and life.
There is a clip of Angelina, 18 months old, in her baby bed singing into a mic. She arrived here with her music in her. Her grandmother loves jazz so that was her exposure. But she can sing anything.
The reason Bjarte asked her if she knew what the song is about, is because this is a very controversial song which openly alludes to suicide...it was banned in several countries during WWII because of that, out of concern that it was causing folk to 'log off'....Angelina's mother didn't want her to do this song for that reason and, so, Angelina chose the verses which weren't too overtly suggestive and tickled the lyrics in a few places to turn the song more toward the feel of simple depression or sadness...I wonder if Bjarte realised how spot on Angelina was being when she said it was about "a sad Sunday"...because she had intended it that way...if you listen to Billie Holiday's original, you will be even more astounded at what Angelina did here...peace and joy from NZ
AJ follows this audition with an a cappella version of Billy Holiday's "I'm A Fool to Want You", Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang (I Shot my Baby Down)" originally sung by Cher then Nancy Sinatra and finally the "coup de grace" to the other contestants George Gershwin's "Summertime". Shortly after her win on NGT AJ performed at an open venue in Norway with Dinah Washington's "What A Difference A Day Makes". Then she performed on The View her 1st TV appearance in the US with an acoustic version of "Fly Me To the Moon". AJ would sing FMTTM throughout her budding career and was invited by none other than Quincy Jones to not only perform at his 85th Birthday Celebration at the O2 Arena in London (12 yo) but to open the festivities. Here's a 20 minutes video to help you know who AJ is: Angelina Jordan Documentary - Born to Sing - The Early Years: ua-cam.com/video/jE6x9V8Cnyw/v-deo.html
Thank you for your wonderful reaction and just subscribe to your channel for lots more Angelina Jordan reaction and when you can please do a reaction on Angelina Jordan version song of Love Me Tender. Thumbs up.😀👍
🎉Norway's Got Talent 2 +🎉 In the next stage of NGT, Angelina performs, "I'm a Fool to Want You" by Billie Holiday. After the 3 of you see her a- capella performance, you should jump ahead to her recording this song for her first album, "It's Magic," at 11 years old. Her talent continues to grow exponentially. There's just no way to wrap your head around the gift Angelina continues to share with us. So here's the link to her studio recording session for "I'm a Fool to Want You." I've never heard better. ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html
You might want to start a playlist for AJ because if your going to become an Angel you may want to hear what we Angels ( it's what AJ calls her fans) have to send you,, there are many unbelievable moments in AJs life your going to want to see
500 views an hour. No reason you should not react to Angelina more often. 2 reactions in 2 months, 6 a year, 200 covers and originals. Oh about 33 years. I would suggest her other 3 performance on NGT 2014 at 8 years old. You could do all 3 in 1 reaction. About 12 minutes and you see her progression. You definitely want Lulu to see I Put as Spell on You at 9 years old. A reactor mentioned you like country. She does Patsy Cline's Crazy. Molly Cyrus' Nothing Breaks Like a Heart. Elvis' Suspicious Minds. Just to name a few.
the english subtitles are for us to understand what the judges are saying as well as what she says at the beginning of the video. She sings all four songs in English!
Watch her singing I who have nothing at age 6 in studio! Then every time we say goodbye at 10 original song "song for A," at 13. How great thou art to see her low range. Somethings got a hold in me in concert at 11. Any of he. Freddie Mercury or Whitney Houston covers Show your daughter i put a spell.on you
---- From Republic Records bio, Angelina said “Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” See Angelina's book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) for background story of 6-year old Angelina meeting shoeless girl to whom Angelina gave her shoes. A few of the hundreds of covered/original songs performed by Angelina include: -- What A Difference A Day Makes (as 8-year old, sung Dinah Washington classic on Allsang På Grensen at Fredriksten Fortress in Halden, Norway.

Hi guys…nice reaction again to AJ! My suggestion for another reaction; I see that you have covered California Dreaming by the Mammas and Pappas. Her cover to this gives you an insight to her blossoming “artistry” at an early age. Her acoustic reinvention of this song is just mind blowing and (among about50 others) is one of my all time favourites.
Welcome All to your AJ journey. A nice comparison of her music dynamics is my funny Valentine when she is a child then a teenaged.🤯 #AngelinaJordanmyfunnyvalentinecomparison
She is close to 8 here and won NGT the following year at the age of 8. Her following 3 performances in NGT are even better, but then she moves from strength to strength. At just over 9 she did a studio session with a bloody good jazz band, "I put a spell on you" (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html) and at 10 she did a live performance with another really good band, "Feeling Good" (ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html), both epic performances that she mostly arranged herself! Check them out on UA-cam.
Hi! New sub! After you listen to her other 3 songs on NGT, you need to listen 'I've Got A Spell On You'. Then Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT. Then there's a few hundred more :) 'Suspicious Minds' etc etc. Have fun! You'll not regret , promise you!!
Im sorry guys but you need to correct a little bit your parental presence! You have to let your daughter to finish her speech reaction and opinion without interrupting her...!!!

She is 17 now and just released her EP OLD ENOUGH 😊
And so a New Star was born !!!
Beautiful reaction, thanks. This was the first time I heard this little fairy sing and I've been hooked ever since. In all these years I have listened to she thousands of times in hundreds of splendid interpretations and yet every time I see this first performance and it makes me move again, like the first time, with that wonderful concentration of humility, simplicity, candor, sympathy and talent. Angelina is sure my preferred singer, she is a kind of daydream that has been going on for 10 years now and continues to excite me. Now she is a young girl of 17 old years and, if is possible, is even more amazing, this girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, she will find a way to transform them with her extraordinary musical intelligence. Angelina is musical poetry.💛🧡❤
I love “little fairy.” She is 17 now and six feet tall. But she has been sprinkled with fairy dust for sure. I’ve been listening for several years. After a spell of only listening to her new EP for awhile I went back to these early songs. I had goosebumps again. That is amazing to me.
STAY TRUE TO YOU , YOU THREE YOU LOOK AMAZEING BE BLESSED CAUSE WHEN WANT IT ,IT DON'T COME EASY
"hi, I'm the soundman. Have you used a microphone before?"
English was her third language of 4. She is seven in this audition. She is now 17 and the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with the talents of this young lady. You will never forget this day that you have discovered Angelina Jordan. She has always arranged her own music. She maintains that ability in her contract with Republic Records now. You have much to learn about this gift to us all. She is the barefoot Princess of a thousand voices. She asked her mother to enter her to perform on Norway's Got Talent when she was 5 but they require contestants to be at least 7. She waited two more years. She calls us fans "Angels." We will educate you about her, just read on.
You'll have far more amazing videos that cover the next ten years of her life. It's a living documentary of her musical growth. I have not stopped listening for four years now and her voice is a singers singer voice. I wish I could do half of what she does with her voice now. Enjoy the journey
Thanks a lot for the reaction to our angel Angelina...she is simply the best...❤
I’m still captivated by your eyes when you watch AJ sing. 😂
It’s worth listening to Billie Holiday, both this song and the next one she sings on NGT - “I’m a fool to want you”. It’s an old style of singing that requires getting turned into.
Incidentally, when the judge asks if she knows what the gloomy song is about, he pauses after her answer. Then he decides to leave it at that.
The song is originally Hungarian and suggests suicide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomy_Sunday
Thanks 🙏🏽 😊
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina the princess of 🎷azz music who doesn't wear shoes 🦶🦶 for a very good reason... Enjoy...👑🗣🎙
talent approved 😄 👍
Thanks for another Angelina reaction. If they will be 2 months between, then I’m probably not yet ready to subscribe.
We just recorded a few more videos that are coming soon.
Hi, welcome to Miss Angelina´s world. For the young Lady here, it might be a good idea to listen to Miss Angelina´s newest EP, to see and hear what became of that little girl. Angelina Jordan is now a fully professional vocalist. As she told us in a chat, since age ten she wrote and composed over 100 songs. I recoomend also 2 songs which she sang at Norways got Talent and a few years later again "I´m a fool to want you" and "summertime". This will you all show how she evolved.
OOHH warning, Miss Angelina has a very strong voice. Example "It´s a man´s World" from James Brown.
You all have a great week,
German greetings.
Welcome to the world's next superstar
After she won she sang in an enormous outdoor concert with adult backing singers. Just a few months after her win and she's even better. At 8 years old now WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE... she will blow your mind yet again. After that see an even bigger growth at 9 years old I PUT A SPELL ON YOU.
Hi! IPASOY was their first reaction. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/XhpcPl3bKY8/v-deo.html
If you compare it to the original by Billie Holiday when, I believe, she was 29,
you will think one singer (Billie) sang both renditions. This is when Angelina
was referred to as a 'vocal chameleon' for she displayed, not just this time
but many other times concerning other artists, that she can emulate them
anytime she desires. Here, it's as if Billie was actually reincarnated into a
7 year old Norwegian girl, who's 3rd language is English. Simply mind boggling.
I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina's debut performance. Of the 4 songs she sang in this competition, this was my least favorite. Then, after listening to Angelina sing it 6 or 7 times, I went back and listened to Billie Holiday perform the original... I was in tears... In order to truly understand what Angelina has done here, you really need to listen to her and then Billie Holiday. Then you'll begin to understand the magic that took place on that stage... This is an incredibly emotional song. It's a song about suicide. It's so powerful that it was banned in some countries back in the day. Listen to Billie Holiday sing it with all that emotion and you'll believe she was sharing the stage with Angelina that night. Over the years, Angelina's had so many magical performances. But, this will always be soecial. There's a reason so many millions have listened to her performance... Link to Billie Holiday: ua-cam.com/video/KUCyjDOlnPU/v-deo.html
remarkable singer .
If you listen to Billie Holiday you will understand why Angelina version was so awesome 👏👍👍👣
Yes I suggest to take a peek at Billy Holiday singing this. You would be surprised by the similarity as she is one she follows. All the old Jazz singers as Jazz is the hardest form of singing she is starting out at that level and
can then sing anything.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ 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.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
You've echoed my thoughts completely. I, like many others, have been enthralled by this child (now young woman) ever since I first saw this mind-boggling performance. There isn't a day that has gone since 2016 that I haven't listened to her and I'm still amazed. Please continue to explore her 200 or more UA-cam vide performances. You will not regret it. 😎
Loved it guys. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
You'll notice the last judge (the one with his mouth open) asked her if she knew what the song was about. I believe he was asking to see if she was aware of the history of the song. That's because 'Gloomy Sunday' is known to history as 'The Hungarian Suicide Song' and was banned in parts of Europe during WWI because many believed the song had led to a rash of suicides in the population. Angelina, unaware of this at the time, I'm sure, simply replied Yes, it's about a sad Sunday and I think the judge was pleased to realize she had a simple child's view of the song and it's meaning. Thus the comment in essence Yes I could feel that sad Sunday. Amazing Angelina would start her career with such a controversial song. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
At age 7, this was her beginning as a professional singer
Welcome to the Age of Angelina!
Im jealous you get to experience her 11 year journey. Enjoy her 200+ videos. She has two channels and her Grandma Mery has one as well with over 300+ vids.
She is a gift sent from beyond!
English is her third language of 4. All her performances on Norway's Got Talent went viral immediately. She asked her Mother to enter her in the competition when she was 5 but the rules were a minimum of 7 years. Here she is at 7! She turned 8 at the end of the competition. She won it with 46% of the vote. She was voted a National Treasure after she won. She still is! She is a gift to us all.
You will be amazed at her voice today. I would love to see lulu’s reaction to her new EP. It’s amazing, every song is 🔥.
I loved your family-style reaction! It's nice to get several perspectives. Angelina introduced herself to the world with a bang and has never stopped singing her heart out. I think you folks would love her arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, which she premiered on America's Got Talent: The Champions. It was so good, the surviving members of Queen tweeted their congratulations to her for it. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
“You are music” the best description I’ve heard of Angelina’s talent.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Wonderful reaction! Especially like that your daughter was a part of this, we really enjoy hearing what people her age are thinking about Angelina's music in addition to the adult perspective. Please continue reacting as a group like this, So happy that Lulu enjoyed it ! You guys are going to pass out when you hear how good her new EP "Old Enough" is. I think Angelina is creating her own genre of music, a unique blending of everything she has experienced musically with jazz, soul, blues, pop, even a little rap and probably several others. Looking forward to seeing more Angelina with you guys.
From: keitholson40
Here is the quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on UA-cam before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. "
👍🏻♥👣
Angelin can speak and read English before 6 yo! Her father has worked/lived in several countries during Angelina's young years. He works in the oil industry, and has traveled a lot! There is a video where Angelina is like 4 yo, she shows her room and her toys etc., there she speaks excellent English
If one is not familiar with the original, you STILL have NO IDEA how amazing this was......
Thank you so very much for your reaction to Angelina's on stage debut. Nice job to suggest viewers to read your description and I encourage you to also provide a link to the original video as well as the artists' UA-cam channel (Angelina has 2, Official and Cover channels). Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist who inspires me to make the world a better place.
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.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 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 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes”
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.
Love the comment Andy as always...not sure what is going on with her 2 official channels...most of the video's have been deleted by YT, both channels, very few are left now...30 something on both. Have heard different versions of what is going on....doubt that she did it but who knows....hope you have seen this.
@@CarlD70 A few months back, when I was suggesting angels to watch and comment on each video on her two channels, there were 33 videos on her Official Channel and 32 on her Cover channel. We know the majority of her videos are on channels other than her official and cover channels. I don't know if there were more videos on her channels a year or more ago.
Excellent reaction, I hope you jump down the rabbit hole just like the rest of us. Looking forward to more barefoot princess reactions. xx
Love that you guys have made it a family reaction so so special indeed, thank you. Angelina's version is really close to Billie Holidays, you would be even blown if you was to have a listen to it.
Just a little bit older, Angelina sings _What A Difference A Day Makes_ at an outdoor festival. You'll be able to understand her just fine and there are lyrics displayed with the video.

Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. You find hundreds of wonderful recordings, everyone better than the last one.
Thank you for your reactions! I would like to make a suggestion to improve your future ones for Angelina songs. We fans of Angelina (called angels) hear a lot of adult reactions but rarely get to hear ones from her contemporaries (there will be songs from her at age 7 to 17). If you were feature to Lulu more, I am sure Angelina's fans would very much appreciate her point of view. In your understandable excitement, you accidentally "stepped on" some of Lulu's comments and I felt like we somehow didn't hear her full reaction. She seems like she has much to share that we would love to hear from her unique perspective!🙏
Yes - we want to hear more from Lulu!
Great reaction guys.
It’s great that your daughter joined you. If you continue down the Angelina rabbit hole I think we all would love for your daughter to continue to join you. Angelina currently has a somewhat older fan base primarily because she started with covers of jazz classics and standards. However she also needs to build her following by young people to really advance and sustain her career. It would be interesting to hear Lulu’s reaction to Angelina’s new 6 song EP (released about a month ago). All songs are originals and all great.
Angelina is now 17.
Awesome reaction lovely family!🎼🤗💞👍🏼
Great Reaction you'll, new Subscriber
Loved watching your faces! Please continue to watch the next three songs in this competition, “I’m a fool to want you”, “Bang, bang”, and finally “Summertime”. You will really see her incredible progression over a few months, also see her teeth grow! You won’t be disappointed!
Added to the list!
What can one say? She incredible, always at any age. MY wfie and I both watch and listen every single day for over 3 years now, and I only wish I discovered her sooner. You have many incredible listens ahead of you, no matter which you pick really. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. FYI her first EP just dropped, and it's literally incredible, with very current sound that still holds on to her roots.
Have you guys seen Angelinas performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT? The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen ❤️ And she is 13 years old in that performance.
🥰
Welcome to the barefoot princess/the girl with 1000 voices. She will never cease to amaze you. She is absolutely a child prodigy. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. Loved your reaction going to follow you in hopes I can see more reactions to the barefoot princess from you.
She won the entire show
New sub here...Looking forward to more of Angelina...your daughter will love her new stuff.
Thanks for subbing!
she is amazing in that since then, she picked her own songs. Her singing this song, Gloomy Sunday, broke the internet when they sent it out worldwide. From the very start!! The other three songs are on this same video and are very different from this but you can really get it. She was NINE when she did I Put a Spell on You. The next song she did acapella .. and it is very difficult to sing. She rocks it. Then she does Bang, Bang and ends with Summertime. Really worth seeing it all.
When asked in an interview why she was crying backstage, Angelina's mother Sara said it was because at that moment she realized that she would have to share her daughter with the world. Thank you, Sara.
Yes, this was the moment when the people of the world officially discovered Angelina. Besides her incredible vocal attributes what was so striking about this performance was her poise and confidence. She would later tell all of us she is most comfortable in life when she is singing 'for people', particularly on a stage'. Some members of her fan base (her 'angels') will be sending you all kinds of data (playlists and bio's) about her and you will find out why she sings barefoot. So glad you played this video and enjoyed it so much. There is much, much more for you to listen to if you choose to join us on her journey. She's now 17. If you're curious what she must sound like now it's okay if you skip ahead but, it would be unfair to you if you skipped past her performances when she was 7,8,9,10,11,12,13, etc., (you get the idea).
I just subscribed. See ya soon!
Momma's face says it all! Please listen to "I'm holding out for you" next. Angelina is 10 years old.
Added to the list!
@@KathyLuluandDonna thank you
@@KathyLuluandDonnayour daughter has ir too!
Great reaction and insight!
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not been widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release.
Here is a chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of Angelina's nearly 200 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The first dozen or so are her originals and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically at age 6.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Guys, please continue watching the entire Norway Got Talent contest, showcasing Angelina's amazing singing ability. To answer your question: "Who is Billie Holiday?" She was an American Jazz and swing music singer back in the 50's. Angelina admired her voice along with Jazz music and the singers from back in the Day. Her grandmother who loves Jazz music, was and is still a large influence in Angelina's career and life.

Check out her new EP Old Enough released on July 21, 2023
If you continue to react to Angelina you will be amazed to the same extent EVERY TIME !!!
There is a clip of Angelina, 18 months old, in her baby bed singing into a mic. She arrived here with her music in her.
Her grandmother loves jazz so that was her exposure. But she can sing anything.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The reason Bjarte asked her if she knew what the song is about, is because this is a very controversial song which openly alludes to suicide...it was banned in several countries during WWII because of that, out of concern that it was causing folk to 'log off'....Angelina's mother didn't want her to do this song for that reason and, so, Angelina chose the verses which weren't too overtly suggestive and tickled the lyrics in a few places to turn the song more toward the feel of simple depression or sadness...I wonder if Bjarte realised how spot on Angelina was being when she said it was about "a sad Sunday"...because she had intended it that way...if you listen to Billie Holiday's original, you will be even more astounded at what Angelina did here...peace and joy from NZ
AJ follows this audition with an a cappella version of Billy Holiday's "I'm A Fool to Want You", Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang (I Shot my Baby Down)" originally sung by Cher then Nancy Sinatra and finally the "coup de grace" to the other contestants George Gershwin's "Summertime". Shortly after her win on NGT AJ performed at an open venue in Norway with Dinah Washington's "What A Difference A Day Makes". Then she performed on The View her 1st TV appearance in the US with an acoustic version of "Fly Me To the Moon". AJ would sing FMTTM throughout her budding career and was invited by none other than Quincy Jones to not only perform at his 85th Birthday Celebration at the O2 Arena in London (12 yo) but to open the festivities. Here's a 20 minutes video to help you know who AJ is: Angelina Jordan Documentary - Born to Sing - The Early Years: ua-cam.com/video/jE6x9V8Cnyw/v-deo.html
You definitely have to react to Angelina singing "What a difference a day makes" when she was 8 years old.

In the next stage of NGT, Angelina performs, "I'm a Fool to Want You" by Billie Holiday. After the 3 of you see her a- capella performance, you should jump ahead to her recording this song for her first album, "It's Magic," at 11 years old. Her talent continues to grow exponentially. There's just no way to wrap your head around the gift Angelina continues to share with us. So here's the link to her studio recording session for "I'm a Fool to Want You." I've never heard better.

500 views an hour. No reason you should not react to Angelina more often.
2 reactions in 2 months, 6 a year, 200 covers and originals. Oh about 33 years.
I would suggest her other 3 performance on NGT 2014 at 8 years old.
You could do all 3 in 1 reaction. About 12 minutes and you see her progression.
You definitely want Lulu to see I Put as Spell on You at 9 years old.
A reactor mentioned you like country. She does Patsy Cline's Crazy. Molly Cyrus' Nothing Breaks Like a Heart. Elvis' Suspicious Minds. Just to name a few.
We just recorded a few more videos that are coming soon.

A few of the hundreds of covered/original songs performed by Angelina include:

-- 7th Heaven (co-wrote as 15-year old, Angelina said that “The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.”: ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html)
-- Easy On Me (as 15-year old, Angelina sings this 2021 hit song by Adele. It is pop ballad expressing nostalgia, regret, and forgiveness. Pretty amazing how Angelina can sing emotions she has yet to fully experience: ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.html)

Hi guys…nice reaction again to AJ! My suggestion for another reaction; I see that you have covered California Dreaming by the Mammas and Pappas. Her cover to this gives you an insight to her blossoming “artistry” at an early age. Her acoustic reinvention of this song is just mind blowing and (among about50 others) is one of my all time favourites.
Added to the list!
Welcome to the world of the Barefoot Princess.
Welcome All to your AJ journey. A nice comparison of her music dynamics is my funny Valentine when she is a child then a teenaged.🤯

She is close to 8 here and won NGT the following year at the age of 8. Her following 3 performances in NGT are even better, but then she moves from strength to strength. At just over 9 she did a studio session with a bloody good jazz band, "I put a spell on you" (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html) and at 10 she did a live performance with another really good band, "Feeling Good" (ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html), both epic performances that she mostly arranged herself! Check them out on UA-cam.
hello família 👪 we Brasil love you ❣❣💕🇧🇷please react audição Gabriel henrique América's got talent 👍🏼 ❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Why not watch til the end? You missed some unique comments!
❤👍🔥
I dont think Lulu knows who Billie Holliday is so if you want to give her something to hear Go straight to Angelina "DIAMOND"
Added to the list!
This is a very difficult melody and subject matter. The song was banned in Hungary and was attributed to mass depression and worse.
React to million miles music video. She wrote it her self. About her grandpa

Hi! New sub! After you listen to her other 3 songs on NGT, you need to listen 'I've Got A Spell On You'. Then Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT. Then there's a few hundred more :) 'Suspicious Minds' etc etc. Have fun! You'll not regret , promise you!!
Thanks for subbing!
Off screen drama?
why you keep interrupting that girl in the middle?
Im sorry guys but you need to correct a little bit your parental presence! You have to let your daughter to finish her speech reaction and opinion without interrupting her...!!!
Someone needs to watch their own reactions before you put it on UA-cam. Must have had two reactions going on at the same time.
👍👍💙💙💙
