An old soul in a young body.She does her own musical arrangements and can play multiple instruments.She is absolutely the best and is known world wide.
What you have discovered here is a legend in the making. This song is just one very small taste of her insane talent. Her versatility is off the charts. If you continue to check out more of her stuff (and I hope you will), she is going to show you new sides to her abilities with each new song you hear. It's not something I can really explain, but you will see what I mean ;) ...and as always for anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
Even though she is only 15 (13 in this performance) her 132 song library is enough to fill a jukebox with all her different styles & genre of music. She not only writes her own songs, she takes old classic songs & changes them into her own, while still respecting the original artist. Many say "she doesn't cover songs, she completes them." Her ability to emote the lyrics to make you feel them down to your bones, is off the charts. Her low notes are out of this world & every voice teacher is blown away by her tremendous breath control, her unique phrasing, her complex vibrato & her beautiful melisma's. Apparently she matches the particular type of vibrato to the different eras of music. That boggles my mind. There are 3 videos of her latest original song, Million Miles. There is an official lyric video which is animated based on the artwork of Angelina & her grandma. The 2nd one is her singing live in studio with piano & cello only. That's my favorite as I like to see her sing. ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html The 3rd one is the official music video where she is acting out the meaning of the song (loss of her grandpa) while lip-synching. The last one is the most emotional. I've subscribed for more Angelina & I look forward to your reactions.
The legendary Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 😷✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯
Thank Lisa you for your first wonderful reaction with Angelina. She isn't only what you see in this fantastic performance, she is much more and even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level, she sang about 130 different interpretations, including covers, songs written for her and also her originals. Angelina at only 13 years old, was able to face a challenge with such an iconic song as this and made her become her own song, with a fantastic reworking, a calm, powerful and terribly emotional interpretation and and a great courage in creating the most beautiful cover of this legendary song. 😆 🤗 She has created her way for HER version of the song and chose the lyrics that fit. She just loves singing and does it her way. The 3 year old little girl in Norway had a dream, while watching the Talents on TV, to sing one day for Simon, I would say that after only 10 years she achieved it really well, she fascinated him, and not just him. ❤️ ❤️ You can react at her first 4 public performances of Norway's Got Talent in 2014, those performances made during a few months are the her first public appearances, but you can already see what her was capable of and how her skills had improved in that limited period of time. Or, if you prefer to start from the end, there are 2 other incredible rewritten songs for AGTC 2020 The 4 songs of Norway' Got Talent 2014 that she won “Gloomy Sunday” - Age 7 ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html "I’m a fool to want you" (acapella) - Age 8 ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html “Bang Bang” - Age 8 ua-cam.com/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/v-deo.html “Summertime” - Age 8 ua-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/v-deo.html The other 2 songs with which she participated in America’s Got Talent Champion 2020 "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - Age 13 ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html “Someone You Loved" - Age 13 ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html You might even see her official video version of her new original song "Million Miles", released last week, it's just stunning. 😊 ❤️ official video - ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html
Lisa welcome to Angelina's world and her angels (fans). Angelina is blessed with a beautiful deep rich tone but can reach fairly high in her 4 octave range. At age 13 she created this genius arrangement for one of the world's most beloved songs. Angelina does not know what nervous is, only 100% confidence in her ability. Angelina is a music prodigy specializing in vocals, the only such prodigy I know of in my 62 years. As talanted as Angelina is, she is a much better human being, humble as the day is long and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read all the comments her angels have provided, along with the biography I have compiled for my all time favorite musical artist.
@@103mrg Sorry I was only speaking to a vocal coach who believed Angelina had around a 4 octave range. Actually I could care less and should not have mentioned it. The way Angelina delivers a song is what I truly enjoy.
@@andyschnell58 Of course! I corrected only because there's been a lot of back and forth on this subject and even some wild speculation that her range is 5 octaves! Just want to set the record straight.
You've done it now. You are about to fall 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 (125+ covers and original songs - all on YT) and you will see! Consider that here a 13yo steps before a huge audience with judges and totally controls the room down to the pin drop level, starts a cappella, and completely transforms what might be the most iconic song on the planet (a risky choice for mortals) and does it superbly with calm and confidence. 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! She started at 7/8yo winning Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday "Gloomy Sunday", "I'm a Fool To Want You" a cappella, Nancy Sinatra's "Bang- Bang" and Gershwin's "Summertime" for the win. Listen to those and you will wonder if she is an alien (She isn't!). She sings in English although that is her 3rd language. If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! React to more of her impressive library of work (she just turned 15yo)! You won't be sorry. Her latest is an original song called "Million Miles" dedicated to her late grandfather and to anyone who has lost someone. Especially timely in the situation the world is in. Bring tissues. A demonstration of her versatility is for you to search for AJ's name along with an iconic artist from the past. Chances are she has covered something of theirs. Then when you listen you will be amazed. Repeat..and repeat again!
The more I listen to this performance, the more I realize how perfect it is. Angelina sang this version to perfection. This little girl is a special talent. Please check out her cover of Rihanna's Stay. I promise it is sweet music to your ears.
Hello and welcome to Angelina's world. You have stumbled on a rare talent and an amazing human being. I won't go into her life story because I've seen in the comments from other ANGELS doing that. I hope you continue to do more reactions. You will be AMAZED at her vocal and emotive abilities as well. Looking forward to see more of AJ from you. Thank you💖
Hi Lisa, welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...

First of all here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ua-cam.com/channels/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA.html Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg.html Angelina Jordan VEVO Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/D9xBPlntT45VN6dY1LNhng.html Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ and the site of Republic Music with her introduction: www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html Her first "visit" to a recording studio at 6yo: "I who have nothing": ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html ... here are some links to the clips of NGT: First Audition: "Gloomy Sunday": ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html Judges' Cut-Off: "I’m a fool to want you": ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html Semi Final: "Bang Bang": ua-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/v-deo.html Final: "Summertime": ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html … here in between NGT and AGT you will find a huge selection of videos with Angelina and each of it will blow your mind. … her originals: 1.

"Above the water": ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my preferred genre ;-) ... here her "mini concert" from AGT the Champions (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...): "Bohemian Rhapsody": ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html “Someone You Loved": ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena): ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html . And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield"). So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty ... And a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ua-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/v-deo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
Lisa .. I enjoyed your reaction. Welcome! You are at the very start of a wonderful journey getting to know Angelina. Youth will get lots of suggestions and the history of this amazing young lady from many many many devoted fans. She was 13 when she did Bohemian Rhapsody and just last month she turned 15. Of her 130+ song videos, 4 addresses original. The latest being MILLION MILES .. i recommend the live studio version before the formal music video.
Thanks for a great reaction. Congratulations on discovering this awesome young artist. Angelina has over 130 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance. Another thing about Angelina is that she is completely in control of the music she sings. She picks the songs and arranges them herself the way she wants them to be done. In the "I put a spell on you" video, when she was 9 years old, she is seen handing some written notes to the band director. The were her "wishes" about changes she would like in the arrangement.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 14, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par. There are four of her original songs in this list that you will love as well.

From Iowa, USA; OK ~ WOW ❗🤗🌹 1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records. 3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music. 4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Hopefully this will remain as she continues her career with Republic. 5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot and I hope by now that you have discovered the incredible reason why she does that. 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old! 7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
As with all Angelina fans, your life just got better. She has a huge video library and she reinvents all her covers. She stands right next to Ella, Billie, Nina, Amy, and Adele. Not kidding or exagerating
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 (125+ 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. She has a very loyal following! You (like Simon) had not heard this acoustic version of Bohemian Rhapsody because no one had (at least before Angelina). She is full of such surprises. Enjoy the ride!
Lovely reaction Lisa. You really have SOME journey ahead as you go forward with Angelina. Prepare for stunning surprices, teary moments and experiances of chills and portions of goosbumps. But first and foremost; - so many incredible musical wonder-moments, going right to the inner of your heart and soul. Talking direct to the depth of your emotions. I`ll see you there!! :-)
Welcome to Angelina’s world. As others have said she’s done Around 130 unique covers. She also has five originals so far and is apparently working on an album of what we believe to be all or mostly original material. Angelina just signed last summer with Republic Records, the same label Drake and Taylor Swift are associated with as well as actually Florence & the Machine, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Julia Michaels and many others. Her roots are in jazz, having fallen In love with Billie Holliday’s music back when she was a preschooler. But she has done covers in nearly every other genre with a few exceptions. I she has covered pop songs from the 60s all the way through to the Past few years. She has done blues, R&B, soul, and has collaborated quite a bit with EDM artists like Avicii and Alan Walker and a Norwegian group called TRXD (they have a song available on UA-cam is called “Above the Water“ for which Angela is the guestvocalist and she dies an amazing job). She has strayed into rock, country, folk, disco, adult contemporary (Lana Del Rey, Adele, Amy Winehouse etc.) and more. There are many places you can go for another reaction. There are some real boundary pushing exploratory performance is like “I’d rather go blind” that some I’ve mentioned or my personal favorite, “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor. I absolutely love her version of I Will Survive. Another home recording that highlights exquisite subtlety of her vocals is learning to raise “young and beautiful”. And possibly my favorite of every song she has ever recorded outside of her originals is “cry me a river”, a life performance at an outdoor jazz festival. The vocals are quite simple without a lot of runs ornaments, but just a beautiful tone, and impeccable pitch and beautifully restrained use of a soft by Brado. I don’t know why, but that song can still make me cry just heard pure beauty, and I’ve been listening to it for close to a year now. I’ll give you a link to that one because There are multiple versions of it. The others I’ve mentioned have only one version (of Angelina’s) on YT and should be very easy to find Cry Me a River: ua-cam.com/video/pmUA7IdF9RE/v-deo.html

When Angelina was 6 years old, she met a homeless girl around her age when she was traveling in the Middle East. The girl did not have any shoes, and Angelina says her feet were scarred. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. Angelina then “vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them.” She keeps that promise to this day, as she says that little girl “is always in my heart.” - Angelina said she asked the little girl what her dream was, and the girl responded that she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told her to “never give up.” In return, the girl told Angelina she would pray for her, and asked her to “remember me.” She might as well sing in a bad cellphone microphone, without a microphone, or to collaborate with professional musicians. She does not need any autotune or digital aids to sing. It is real song in an otherwise polished world. She just sings because it's her passion. Angelina’s videos have received over "over 600 Million views on youtube & over 2 Billion views on Facebook." Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the some vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good. As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. Everyone in the music industry knows who she is, but the family and herself want her to grow up as normal as possible. Among other things, they said no to Disney! This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Today she is 15 years old and has over 135 covers and 6 originals on UA-cam. She has already managed to collaborate with the biggest in the music industry, and is considered to be a future megarstar.The family and herself want to take it easy in the musical development because of her young age. Angelina wants total ownership over her creativity, without compromise. She / family said no to Disney, among other things. She attends some major foundrising concerts. Rumor has it that she is coming up with her own album this year. Why didn't Angelina win AGT champions? It's because she refused to sign with "Fremantle" when it came to ownership of the version of the performance of the songs.They told her she wasn't gonna win if she didn't. Well. She didn't win. musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/ Another interesting point in the interview is that Angelina Jordan's appearance in "America's Got Talent" hung in the balance for a long time because the program is bound by long-term contracts which in the worst case can force a participant into a special management and record company. For manager Michael Astar, this was completely out of the question.- Then it took a while and they contacted me again to ask if she would sing on their show. Then I persuaded them to give me a contract where Angelina was completely released from any agreement if she performs, he says to Music Norway. no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/ The entire acclaimed music industry knows who she is, and she was invited to sing for Quincy Jones during his 85th birthday at O2 Arena London ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html - (Google translate)
Welcome to AJ world,welcome to the "Rabbit Hole"..you are just boarding on the most beautiful voyage ever....By the way her name is Angelina Jordan Astar...that says it all. You should start by the beginning..."Gloomy sunday" age 7....and then on the next one..."Summertime" age 8 ...etc etc
Thank you, Lisa, for your great first reaction to Angelina. There are many other comments here that will give you excellent information about her and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! That’s what UA-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
OK, before I even watch this video, even though I'm really excited to see your reaction. The remaining members of Queen posted on Angelina's social media praising her performance. With this song, as with every song this young lady sings, she doesn't 'cover' a song, she makes it her own, as you will see. Almost all of her videos, she is only accompanied by an acoustic guitar. She doesn't need instruments to hide her voice, or auto tune to make it pleasant, she was born with a gift, as you will see, if you continue your journey down the rabbit hole to her life so far. OK, on with the show.
WARNING!! If you listen to just one more Angelina performance, you'll be addicted to her voice for the rest of your life!! Not that there's a problem with that. Many of us out here have been completely in love with this young woman for years. A sort of rite of passage for Angelina's new reactors is "I Put a Spell On You" that she recorded at the tender age of 8 or 9 years old (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html). There are literally dozens of videos with her concert performances, home studio performances, and competition performances. You've got a wonderful journey in front of you as you continue to learn about Angelina.
Hola Lisa, muy buena reaccion, y me acabo de suscribir, me pasa que Angelina cuando empieza a cantar me emociona, es algo impresionante y a pesar de su corta edad, con una gran historia detras, hasta canta en un episodio de una serie de Netflix, tiene esa magia de los grandes, gracias Lisa por esta reaccion y espero que sigas reaccionando a ella, saludos desde Argentina.
Thanks for the nice reaction to one of many Angelina Jordan masterpieces which she arranges & performs. But, as the BTO song says: "You AIn't Seen Nothin Yet"! I recommend that you check out all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances from 2014 & either of her Feeling Good performances (one inside, one out) at age 10. But - for the best, most awesome display of her raw talent - check out her performance of I put A Spell On You at age 9. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 15 (as of 1/10/2021 ) years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html ) She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background: (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html 2. Oslo,, ua-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/v-deo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html 4. Above the water,, ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert. When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road". She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
You have a new subscriber but BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Thank you for discovering and reacting my favourite singer. Simon Cowell said that he had never heard that version before, and he was right as Angelina re-arranged it for the performance. She does this with many of her cover songs. Her fans call it "Angelina-fying" a song. Heidi Klum hit the Golden Buzzer. So Angelina went straight to the Final, where she performed Elton John's classic "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".¡ My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". Well, it was a seven-year-old child who appeared on the stage. She was small and had wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. My first surprise was how she confidently answered questions put to her by one of the judges. She showed no signs of nerves and when she was asked what song she was going to perform, she declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Then she gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and started singing. Yeah! The body of the 7-year-old child was still there, but the voice wasn't. It was that of a 40-50 year old black woman who had been singing for decades. That first moment of surprise has been experienced many times since then. I have followed her career since I saw that first video on UA-cam and in the years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Avicii, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others: in total over 220 different songs and 82 different performers. She takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. She never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener. When you listen to her there is the feeling that you are the object of her attention. She is singing for you alone. I have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What I will never understand is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing, once she starts to sing. Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with backing music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world. Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions So, here a few recordings for you to consider. age 6 - First visit to a Recording Studio:I who have nothing: ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html age 7 - Norway's Got Talent - First Audition: Gloomy Sunday: ua-cam.com/video/8q7MqdFoibI/v-deo.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off:I’m a fool to want you ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Semi Final: Bang Bang: ua-cam.com/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/v-deo.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Final: Summertime: ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html age 8 - Concert in Sweden - "I'll be there":ua-cam.com/video/VJIwvWdoO3o/v-deo.html age 8 - Charity Concert: At last: ua-cam.com/video/819bQ9I-T-g/v-deo.html age 11 - It’s Now or Never - ua-cam.com/video/hli1fuk8zQQ/v-deo.html age 10 - Norwegian TV Production: Every time we say goodbye: ua-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/v-deo.html One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order.Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
Thanks for reacting to Angelina Jordan! Since seeing her on that episode watching AGT, I’ve been astonished with her talent. She has millions of followers. Check this video of her at 9 years old. ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html She also performed a beautiful version of Yellow Brick Road on AGT, and released a new original since signing with Republic Records; Million Miles. She just turned 15 on Jan. 10th (my birthday too🙂). She is a one-of-a-kind and has hints of Amy Winehouse, Billy Holiday, and even Adele. ❤️🙏
Now you know what God listens to. And witness history been made. She is going to be the greatest of them all. Go to the beginning of her and you will discover it for your self. It's much better then telling you .
There are over 130 videos of Angelina singing on You Tube. Maybe you should go back to where it all started when at age 7 she performed "Gloomy Sunday" at Norway's Got Talent i 2014. If you noticed Angelina was bare foot and there is a heartwarming story that goes along with it and I'm sure someone will tell you about it in the comment section.
Lisa, you were very quiet during most of Angelina's great performance. Yes, it takes a while for one's brain to adjust to what's going on. However, your heart knew exactly what was going on and immediately let Angelina in! By now you have played this back again at least a couple of times and it gets better each time. I regard this version as a MASTERPIECE! There is so much more she has recorded for you to enjoy. I look forward to your reactions. And, wait till you find out what a beautiful person she is.
Nice reaction! This performance started my Angelina journey. Maybe it will yours as well. There's a lot out there to enjoy. Lots of links in the comments. I usually mention three that I find exceptional, but they are all great--truly! Check out her latest release Million Miles either live studio or music video version (At some point you shoul look at the lyric video as well). Most fans want you to react to 9 year old Angelina singing her arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put a Spell On You " (black and white studio version). No way, you'll say. And all of Norway's Got Talent is amazing. I love "Summertime" as an 8 year old Angelina shows amazing skills. But all her covers and her other originals are top tier. I'll sub in for more Angelina. Hope you find the time.
Thanks Lisa for your reaction. You are about to see your "views" and "subscribers " numbers increase dramatically. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Some brief info: Angelina (b. 10 Jan 06) is a highly accomplished jazz artist. She has about 150 full song cover videos out as will as 4 original songs and various collaborations. If you like Angelina you will be hooked for life very quickly. I've been following/watching/listening for 4 years to everything Angelina done since she started singing at age 18months. I have two 1TB drives filled with Angelina. She is now, IMHO, the heiress apparent to the title "Greatest Singer Ever Recorded". Angelina has covered Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Screamin' Jay Hawkins...more than 50 artists. She has 125+ covers on UA-cam and 4 original songs. She has performed with or for Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, Mark Ronson, Alan Walker and others all at their specific requests. She is the youngest to be asked (she accepted) to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. She has made command performances to 4 heads of state including a U.S. President. She donated her 80K Euros from winning Norway's Got Talent to children's charities and raised 21 million Euros in Germany for children. She has performed live before 40,000 fans and at very small venues with equal aplomb. She is equally comfortable, and respected by world class orchestras, jazz quartets, acoustic guitarists or even a Cappella. She remains independent of the West Coast entertainment cesspool (Note: Angelina signed to Republic Records since this was originally written.) and its thieves, liars and pedophiles and is in complete control of her career. She is supported by a truly loving family and millions of fans. She has over ONE BILLION hits on social media and her talents are considered astonishing to hundreds of professional music coaches, critics and fellow artists. She selects what material to perform and does all her own arrangements. She plays 4 instruments and is fluent in 4 languages. She is the youngest published author in Norway. She has her own production company with copyrighted LPs, EPs', videos, publications and merchandise. She always comports herself with grace, humility and respect for all including audience, fans and artists. Angelina's almost endless talent is exceeded only by the beauty of her soul as God intended it should.
jeffrey A couple of corrections: over 600 million views on YT; over 2 billion views on FB......She speaks 3 languages fluently. She speak some Swedish (because of her father) and is reportedly learning Japanese.
In 2015, Jordan published the book Mellom to hjerter (Between Two Hearts), illustrated by her grandmother, Iranian artist Mery Zamani. The book tells the story of her meeting a poor motherless girl in Asia who has no shoes. After a long conversation in which they discuss their dreams in life, she gives the girl her shoes and the girl promises to pray for Jordan to fulfill her dream to become a successful singer. According to Jordan the book is based on a real incident which she cites as the reason for always performing barefoot.
DEFINITELY check out her earlier work, but if you're keen to jump ahead, her NEW cover of "My Funny Valentine" That she released recently has jumped up to be likely my favorite..Such a masterpiece/master class.
The appreciation of Angelina's vocal genius requires paying attention to all the nuances and subtleties that she brings to every performance. Not too sure if you're up to the task, because how could you overlook the piano accompanying her?
Thanks for that nice reaction. If you like it minimalistic, try her cover of Adele's "Million Years": ua-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/v-deo.html If you want to see something unreal, check out 9 year old Angies homage to Screaming Jay Hawkins "I put a Spell on you": ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
Thank you for a great reaction 🙏 If you like her low range you should check out Angelinas cover of Born to Die (Lana del Rey). Her tone in that one goes is out of this world: ua-cam.com/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/v-deo.html
Hi Lisa & thank you for this nice reaction. (beware of the trolls that are fake Angie fans) I'm going to give a lot of info on Angie so please read & you'll know a whole lot more. Welcome to the world of Angelina’s music. Angie takes covers & Angelinalizes them & they become new & complete. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did “Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html at barely 9. On AGT Angie made her outfit from patterns of her grandma's art work. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 4 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd or 4th. Angie turned 15 on 1-10-21 & she’s 6 ft tall. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Others will explain this or you can look it up. Angie has so many skills/abilities & talents threr's no room to write them all, including AP, tremolo, timing etc. Angie just turned 15 on 1-10-21. I'll give you a some links to her 1st released single by Republic records titled “Million Miles” She wrote this shortly after her grandpa died in Nov. 2019, she was 13 & her other grandpa died in 2018. Angie & her grandma did the art for the (official lyric video). Angelina said, “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in you heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.” (even Quincy Jones said "He hasn't seen this amount of talent/skill in a singer since Michael Jackson" Even David Foster is blown away with her abilities & she sang for him too)

Laura is 18 now & starting to take off in her career. When Laura won Romania's Got Talent in 2016, She donated half of her prize money (about 120,000 euros) to help the poor and underprivileged in that country. She has since gone on to do numerous concert performances and has released a number of singles. She donates half of the income from that to the poor and needy as well. She made it to the finals & she didn't sign with ATG just like Angelina Jordan & she got 6th place also. But now Laura & Angie are on their way to being bigger than AGT, In real life, Laura is a kind, loving respectful & giving Christian girl. She did great in Eurovision Romania in 2019 also. She sings Operatic Pop/Christian crossover. Laura just signed with Universal Music Family in Nov. 2020. She invited to sing every year a David Foster Foundation yearly event & usually does.
She has 133 songs on UA-cam from when she was in preschool to the present (she just turned 15). FYI; you need to hear 30 or 40 to get a true sense of her vocal range. Her voice is different in virtually every one. Here is a playlist (alphabetical) of them all: ua-cam.com/play/PLySL7rbiavQeF962zkMPIEQVjX8wcZtgH.html. Scroll through and pick anything; but allow me to recommend her recent release from Republic Records "Million Miles", "A Million Years Ago", "A Song for A", "Wicked Game", "A Man's World", "Feeling Good", "If You Go Away" or any of her Elvis covers.
Bohemian Rhapsody! If you think this is great you should have heard the rendition that was done on her Christmas Show on the 23rd. She does have perfect tone and could have song the whole song A cappella
Hi Lisa - I watched your reaction to Angelina Jordan's "Bohemean Rapsody" - great! ... I've looked through the list of your reactions but missed several AJ videos that I would really enjoy seeing you react to - so, I'm going to suggest "I Put A Spell On You" ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - she was 9 years old when she made this video. I suspect you are, but, if you're not particularly familiar with "I Put A Spell On You," I suggest that, before watching AJ's version, you might want to watch the composer, Screamin' Jay Hawkins - written @ 1956 ... I think the version here will give a certain appreciation of AJ's performance - warning - he's a bit more theatrical than AJ LOL ... ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html - Anyway - thanks for your reactions - nice!
Angelina Jordan & Republic Records Dropped her new Music video Million miles it's Beautifully Done! Juliette plays Angelina, and her Uncle Michael plays her Grandfather you need to react Great reaction Thank you Please keep them coming ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html

best singer on planet thats all
You are 💯 right pg 😊😊 She ix bestest 😊😊😊
Surely you mean the best living one you have been exposed to?
There is so much to hear from this girl. Enjoy the ride. You'll be constantly amazed.
What you have discovered here is a legend in the making. This song is just one very small taste of her insane talent. Her versatility is off the charts. If you continue to check out more of her stuff (and I hope you will), she is going to show you new sides to her abilities with each new song you hear. It's not something I can really explain, but you will see what I mean ;)
...and as always for anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
Even though she is only 15 (13 in this performance) her 132 song library is enough to fill a jukebox with all her different styles & genre of music. She not only writes her own songs, she takes old classic songs & changes them into her own, while still respecting the original artist. Many say "she doesn't cover songs, she completes them." Her ability to emote the lyrics to make you feel them down to your bones, is off the charts. Her low notes are out of this world & every voice teacher is blown away by her tremendous breath control, her unique phrasing, her complex vibrato & her beautiful melisma's. Apparently she matches the particular type of vibrato to the different eras of music. That boggles my mind. There are 3 videos of her latest original song, Million Miles. There is an official lyric video which is animated based on the artwork of Angelina & her grandma. The 2nd one is her singing live in studio with piano & cello only. That's my favorite as I like to see her sing. ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html The 3rd one is the official music video where she is acting out the meaning of the song (loss of her grandpa) while lip-synching. The last one is the most emotional. I've subscribed for more Angelina & I look forward to your reactions.
Yes and the surprises that are in the official video that most of her fans will recognize.
The legendary Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 😷✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯
Thank Lisa you for your first wonderful reaction with Angelina. She isn't only what you see in this fantastic performance, she is much more and even very different, but everything she does is at a superlative level, she sang about 130 different interpretations, including covers, songs written for her and also her originals. Angelina at only 13 years old, was able to face a challenge with such an iconic song as this and made her become her own song, with a fantastic reworking, a calm, powerful and terribly emotional interpretation and and a great courage in creating the most beautiful cover of this legendary song. 😆 🤗 She has created her way for HER version of the song and chose the lyrics that fit. She just loves singing and does it her way. The 3 year old little girl in Norway had a dream, while watching the Talents on TV, to sing one day for Simon, I would say that after only 10 years she achieved it really well, she fascinated him, and not just him. ❤️ ❤️
You can react at her first 4 public performances of Norway's Got Talent in 2014, those performances made during a few months are the her first public appearances, but you can already see what her was capable of and how her skills had improved in that limited period of time. Or, if you prefer to start from the end, there are 2 other incredible rewritten songs for AGTC 2020
The 4 songs of Norway' Got Talent 2014 that she won
“Gloomy Sunday” - Age 7 ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html
"I’m a fool to want you" (acapella) - Age 8 ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html

Love Angelina!
Wow, very different. I like it
Enjoyed your reaction. Looking forward to your next one.
Lisa welcome to Angelina's world and her angels (fans). Angelina is blessed with a beautiful deep rich tone but can reach fairly high in her 4 octave range. At age 13 she created this genius arrangement for one of the world's most beloved songs. Angelina does not know what nervous is, only 100% confidence in her ability. Angelina is a music prodigy specializing in vocals, the only such prodigy I know of in my 62 years. As talanted as Angelina is, she is a much better human being, humble as the day is long and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read all the comments her angels have provided, along with the biography I have compiled for my all time favorite musical artist.
andy Her vocal range is slightly over 3 octaves, not 4!
@@103mrg Sorry I was only speaking to a vocal coach who believed Angelina had around a 4 octave range. Actually I could care less and should not have mentioned it. The way Angelina delivers a song is what I truly enjoy.
@@andyschnell58 Of course! I corrected only because there's been a lot of back and forth on this subject and even some wild speculation that her range is 5 octaves! Just want to set the record straight.
You've done it now. You are about to fall 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 (125+ covers and original songs - all on YT) and you will see! Consider that here a 13yo steps before a huge audience with judges and totally controls the room down to the pin drop level, starts a cappella, and completely transforms what might be the most iconic song on the planet (a risky choice for mortals) and does it superbly with calm and confidence. 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! She started at 7/8yo winning Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday "Gloomy Sunday", "I'm a Fool To Want You" a cappella, Nancy Sinatra's "Bang- Bang" and Gershwin's "Summertime" for the win. Listen to those and you will wonder if she is an alien (She isn't!). She sings in English although that is her 3rd language.
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! React to more of her impressive library of work (she just turned 15yo)! You won't be sorry. Her latest is an original song called "Million Miles" dedicated to her late grandfather and to anyone who has lost someone. Especially timely in the situation the world is in. Bring tissues. A demonstration of her versatility is for you to search for AJ's name along with an iconic artist from the past. Chances are she has covered something of theirs. Then when you listen you will be amazed. Repeat..and repeat again!
Angelina Jordan
I Put a Spell on You
What a Difference a Day Makes
Feeling Good
How Great Thou Art
A Natural Woman
Crazy
Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
Check out all of her songs from Norway’s Got Talent when she was only 8 years old. Mind blowing.
The more I listen to this performance, the more I realize how perfect it is. Angelina sang this version to perfection. This little girl is a special talent. Please check out her cover of Rihanna's Stay. I promise it is sweet music to your ears.
Start at the beginning with Gloomy Sunday on NGT when she was 7 years old
Hello and welcome to Angelina's world. You have stumbled on a rare talent and an amazing human being. I won't go into her life story because I've seen in the comments from other ANGELS doing that. I hope you continue to do more reactions. You will be AMAZED at her vocal and emotive abilities as well. Looking forward to see more of AJ from you. Thank you💖
Hi Lisa,
welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...

and songs especially wrote for her:
1. "Song for A": ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html - (there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie - the woman in the lyrics - or both of them ;-) - the lyrics are from a poem from Robert Burns written in 1783 ! )
2. "Above the water": ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my preferred genre ;-)
... here her "mini concert" from AGT the Champions (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...):
"Bohemian Rhapsody": ua-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/v-deo.html
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ua-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/v-deo.html
“Someone You Loved": ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html
Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena): ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html .
And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ua-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/v-deo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty ...
And a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ua-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/v-deo.html or another version of it: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ua-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/v-deo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
ua-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/v-deo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
Lisa .. I enjoyed your reaction. Welcome! You are at the very start of a wonderful journey getting to know Angelina. Youth will get lots of suggestions and the history of this amazing young lady from many many many devoted fans. She was 13 when she did Bohemian Rhapsody and just last month she turned 15.
Of her 130+ song videos, 4 addresses original. The latest being MILLION MILES .. i recommend the live studio version before the formal music video.
Thanks for a great reaction. Congratulations on discovering this awesome young artist. Angelina has over 130 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance.
Another thing about Angelina is that she is completely in control of the music she sings. She picks the songs and arranges them herself the way she wants them to be done. In the "I put a spell on you" video, when she was 9 years old, she is seen handing some written notes to the band director. The were her "wishes" about changes she would like in the arrangement.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 14, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases
This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par. There are four of her original songs in this list that you will love as well.
"Million Miles" - 14 years old - original song - ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html

Oh yes, please do more Angelina Jordan reactions! She will blow your mind....
Lovely reaction, thanks for sharing! Subscribed so I dont miss your next reaction to this amazing young prodigy 💖
From Iowa, USA; OK ~ WOW ❗🤗🌹
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records.
3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music.
4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Hopefully this will remain as she continues her career with Republic.
5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot and I hope by now that you have discovered the incredible reason why she does that.
6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old!
7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
As with all Angelina fans, your life just got better. She has a huge video library and she reinvents all her covers. She stands right next to Ella, Billie, Nina, Amy, and Adele. Not kidding or exagerating
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 (125+ 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. She has a very loyal following!
You (like Simon) had not heard this acoustic version of Bohemian Rhapsody because no one had (at least before Angelina). She is full of such surprises. Enjoy the ride!
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s world 👍🙂
Lovely reaction Lisa. You really have SOME journey ahead as you go forward with Angelina. Prepare for stunning surprices, teary moments and experiances of chills and portions of goosbumps. But first and foremost; - so many incredible musical wonder-moments, going right to the inner of your heart and soul. Talking direct to the depth of your emotions.
I`ll see you there!! :-)
Very nice reaction, thumbs up to the many awesome comments below. Hope to see a lot more from you...and Thanks. : )
Welcome to Angelina’s world. As others have said she’s done
Around 130 unique covers. She also has five originals so far and is apparently working on an album of what we believe to be all or mostly original material. Angelina just signed last summer with Republic Records, the same label Drake and Taylor Swift are associated with as well as actually Florence & the Machine, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Julia Michaels and many others. Her roots are in jazz, having fallen In love with Billie Holliday’s music back when she was a preschooler. But she has done covers in nearly every other genre with a few exceptions. I she has covered pop songs from the 60s all the way through to the Past few years. She has done blues, R&B, soul, and has collaborated quite a bit with EDM artists like Avicii and Alan Walker and a Norwegian group called TRXD (they have a song available on UA-cam is called “Above the Water“ for which Angela is the guestvocalist and she dies an amazing job). She has strayed into rock, country, folk, disco, adult contemporary (Lana Del Rey, Adele, Amy Winehouse etc.) and more.
There are many places you can go for another reaction. There are some real boundary pushing exploratory performance is like “I’d rather go blind” that some I’ve mentioned or my personal favorite, “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor. I absolutely love her version of I Will Survive. Another home recording that highlights exquisite subtlety of her vocals is learning to raise “young and beautiful”. And possibly my favorite of every song she has ever recorded outside of her originals is “cry me a river”, a life performance at an outdoor jazz festival. The vocals are quite simple without a lot of runs ornaments, but just a beautiful tone, and impeccable pitch and beautifully restrained use of a soft by Brado. I don’t know why, but that song can still make me cry just heard pure beauty, and I’ve been listening to it for close to a year now. I’ll give you a link to that one because There are multiple versions of it. The others I’ve mentioned have only one version (of Angelina’s) on YT and should be very easy to find
Cry Me a River: ua-cam.com/video/pmUA7IdF9RE/v-deo.html
No one is prepared for Angelina’s first song... and the second, ... and the 3rd, and the 50th and the 100th. Are you prepared for her spell?
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan "rabbit hole" !!! You will enjoy the journey!!!
Thank you for reacting to Angelina - She won Norwegian talents at the age of 8, and is predicted to become the next superstar! Angelina Jordan has now signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist 2020. Angelina Jordan - Million Miles (Official Music Video)- ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html - Astar says the commitment has been important when choosing a team. You can read about it here: musicnorway.She is also known for being able to adjust the voice to which genre she sings. She has approx. 140 covers on UA-cam + 6 originals. Angelina Jordan - Date of birth: January 10, 2006 (age 15 years), Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. Angelina Jordan Fan Club: facebook.com/groups/angelinajordanfanclub
Something you might have noticed is that Angelina always performs barefoot! When Angelina was 6 years old, she met a homeless girl around her age when she was traveling in the Middle East. The girl did not have any shoes, and Angelina says her feet were scarred. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. Angelina then “vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them.” She keeps that promise to this day, as she says that little girl “is always in my heart.” - Angelina said she asked the little girl what her dream was, and the girl responded that she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told her to “never give up.” In return, the girl told Angelina she would pray for her, and asked her to “remember me.” She might as well sing in a bad cellphone microphone, without a microphone, or to collaborate with professional musicians. She does not need any autotune or digital aids to sing. It is real song in an otherwise polished world. She just sings because it's her passion. Angelina’s videos have received over "over 600 Million views on youtube & over 2 Billion views on Facebook." Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the some vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good. As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
Everyone in the music industry knows who she is, but the family and herself want her to grow up as normal as possible. Among other things, they said no to Disney! This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Today she is 15 years old and has over 135 covers and 6 originals on UA-cam. She has already managed to collaborate with the biggest in the music industry, and is considered to be a future megarstar.The family and herself want to take it easy in the musical development because of her young age.
Angelina wants total ownership over her creativity, without compromise. She / family said no to Disney, among other things. She attends some major foundrising concerts. Rumor has it that she is coming up with her own album this year. Why didn't Angelina win AGT champions? It's because she refused to sign with "Fremantle" when it came to ownership of the version of the performance of the songs.They told her she wasn't gonna win if she didn't. Well. She didn't win. musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/ Another interesting point in the interview is that Angelina Jordan's appearance in "America's Got Talent" hung in the balance for a long time because the program is bound by long-term contracts which in the worst case can force a participant into a special management and record company. For manager Michael Astar, this was completely out of the question.- Then it took a while and they contacted me again to ask if she would sing on their show. Then I persuaded them to give me a contract where Angelina was completely released from any agreement if she performs, he says to Music Norway. no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/ The entire acclaimed music industry knows who she is, and she was invited to sing for Quincy Jones during his 85th birthday at O2 Arena London ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html - (Google translate)
Welcome to AJ world,welcome to the "Rabbit Hole"..you are just boarding on the most beautiful voyage ever....By the way her name is Angelina Jordan Astar...that says it all.
You should start by the beginning..."Gloomy sunday" age 7....and then on the next one..."Summertime" age 8 ...etc etc
Thank you, Lisa, for your great first reaction to Angelina. There are many other comments here that will give you excellent information about her and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! That’s what UA-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
OK, before I even watch this video, even though I'm really excited to see your reaction. The remaining members of Queen posted on Angelina's social media praising her performance. With this song, as with every song this young lady sings, she doesn't 'cover' a song, she makes it her own, as you will see. Almost all of her videos, she is only accompanied by an acoustic guitar. She doesn't need instruments to hide her voice, or auto tune to make it pleasant, she was born with a gift, as you will see, if you continue your journey down the rabbit hole to her life so far. OK, on with the show.
WARNING!! If you listen to just one more Angelina performance, you'll be addicted to her voice for the rest of your life!! Not that there's a problem with that. Many of us out here have been completely in love with this young woman for years. A sort of rite of passage for Angelina's new reactors is "I Put a Spell On You" that she recorded at the tender age of 8 or 9 years old (ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html). There are literally dozens of videos with her concert performances, home studio performances, and competition performances. You've got a wonderful journey in front of you as you continue to learn about Angelina.
Hola Lisa, muy buena reaccion, y me acabo de suscribir, me pasa que Angelina cuando empieza a cantar me emociona, es algo impresionante y a pesar de su corta edad, con una gran historia detras, hasta canta en un episodio de una serie de Netflix, tiene esa magia de los grandes, gracias Lisa por esta reaccion y espero que sigas reaccionando a ella, saludos desde Argentina.
Thanks for the nice reaction to one of many Angelina Jordan masterpieces which she arranges & performs. But, as the BTO song says: "You AIn't Seen Nothin Yet"! I recommend that you check out all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances from 2014 & either of her Feeling Good performances (one inside, one out) at age 10. But - for the best, most awesome display of her raw talent - check out her performance of I put A Spell On You at age 9. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 15 (as of 1/10/2021 ) years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html )
She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song.
she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background:
(Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing
1, Shield ,, ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
2. Oslo,, ua-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/v-deo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway)
3. What Is Life,, .ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
4. Above the water,, ua-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/v-deo.html
5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html
Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert.
When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
clyde Her vocal range is slightly over 3 octaves, not 5!
Just Subscribed. Thank you for discovering Angelina Jordan. Hope to see more of AJ on your channel
You have a new subscriber but BEWARE! This is a long comment. I hope you have the patience to read to the end. Thank you for discovering and reacting my favourite singer. Simon Cowell said that he had never heard that version before, and he was right as Angelina re-arranged it for the performance. She does this with many of her cover songs. Her fans call it "Angelina-fying" a song. Heidi Klum hit the Golden Buzzer. So Angelina went straight to the Final, where she performed Elton John's classic "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".¡
My introduction to Angelina was on her first appearance at Norway's Got Talent and I didn't expect much from a 7-year-old. Just a cute little girl, all nervous, rushing the song in parts, hesitating and then stumbling over or forgetting her words and generally acting her age and doing her best to get through a childish song like "Twinkle, twinkle little star". Well, it was a seven-year-old child who appeared on the stage. She was small and had wild hair and gaps in her mouth, where there once were baby teeth. My first surprise was how she confidently answered questions put to her by one of the judges. She showed no signs of nerves and when she was asked what song she was going to perform, she declared she was going to sing a song by the legendary Billie Holiday. Then she gestured off-stage for the technician to start the music and started singing. Yeah! The body of the 7-year-old child was still there, but the voice wasn't. It was that of a 40-50 year old black woman who had been singing for decades. That first moment of surprise has been experienced many times since then.
I have followed her career since I saw that first video on UA-cam and in the years she has been singing publicly she has mastered many musical genres, including Blues, Country, Disco, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Soul, EDM and Rock and covered songs first performed by many famous singers, like Adele, Whitney Houston, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Lana del Ray, Avicii, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and many others: in total over 220 different songs and 82 different performers. She takes ownership of every song she sings while still paying respect to the original. She never goes into unnecessary theatrics. Never sings those high or low notes unless they are absolutely necessary. Never projects herself in any performance which says "look how good I am". She just sings the song as she feels it is meant to be sung. She has the innate ability not only to sing a song as emotionally as the song deserves but to be able to communicate those same emotions to the listener. When you listen to her there is the feeling that you are the object of her attention. She is singing for you alone.
I have listened to every interview she has given and every documentary about her and every performance she has ever given. What I will never understand is how a very shy and humble girl in her normal life, can be transformed into the perfect vehicle for the song she has chosen to sing, once she starts to sing.
Although the gift of singing and all her performances appear to be effortless, Angelina works very hard to ensure that the one she is going to record reflects what she sees as the correct way to meld both lyrics and melody. If you go to ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html you will find many rehearsals where, not only do you get to see her rehearsing but being the "ordinary" girl she is (if indeed one is able to apply that adjective to her). Most of her performances are recorded in her home studio, either with backing music or a single guitar. Most are done in one take. She treats the whole thing as a hobby. As we would have said when I was young. "There is no 'side' to her" She is completely transparent to the world.
Perhaps you would like to go back a few years and work forward. By doing so, you will come to the realisation that she is "unique" and I don't use that word loosely. There is truly no other singer who has her versatility and sheer ability to communicate the emotions of a song to her listeners. I doubt there is another singer who works so hard to ensure that, when she sings the song, it is sung in such a way that her listener becomes enmeshed in the emotions
So, here a few recordings for you to consider.

One thing which several of the new reactors - and those who have returned to her have decided, is to follow her career from the start. If you should decide to do the same, go to Rusty Shackleford's website and look at the list he has compiled of Angelina songs in chronological order.Rusty Shackleford - Chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html
Thanks for reacting to Angelina Jordan! Since seeing her on that episode watching AGT, I’ve been astonished with her talent. She has millions of followers. Check this video of her at 9 years old. ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
She also performed a beautiful version of Yellow Brick Road on AGT, and released a new original since signing with Republic Records; Million Miles. She just turned 15 on Jan. 10th (my birthday too🙂).
She is a one-of-a-kind and has hints of Amy Winehouse, Billy Holiday, and even Adele.
❤️🙏
Now you know what God listens to. And witness history been made. She is going to be the greatest of them all. Go to the beginning of her and you will discover it for your self. It's much better then telling you .
Angelina wrote (What is Life, Oslo... Shield... Million miles her offical with Republic Records.
:-)) Welcome to AJ
There are over 130 videos of Angelina singing on You Tube. Maybe you should go back to where it all started when at age 7 she performed "Gloomy Sunday" at Norway's Got Talent i 2014. If you noticed Angelina was bare foot and there is a heartwarming story that goes along with it and I'm sure someone will tell you about it in the comment section.
Lisa, you were very quiet during most of Angelina's great performance. Yes, it takes a while for one's brain to adjust to what's going on. However, your heart knew exactly what was going on and immediately let Angelina in! By now you have played this back again at least a couple of times and it gets better each time. I regard this version as a MASTERPIECE! There is so much more she has recorded for you to enjoy. I look forward to your reactions. And, wait till you find out what a beautiful person she is.
Nice reaction! This performance started my Angelina journey. Maybe it will yours as well. There's a lot out there to enjoy. Lots of links in the comments. I usually mention three that I find exceptional, but they are all great--truly! Check out her latest release Million Miles either live studio or music video version (At some point you shoul look at the lyric video as well). Most fans want you to react to 9 year old Angelina singing her arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put a Spell On You " (black and white studio version). No way, you'll say. And all of Norway's Got Talent is amazing. I love "Summertime" as an 8 year old Angelina shows amazing skills. But all her covers and her other originals are top tier. I'll sub in for more Angelina. Hope you find the time.
Check out Angelina perform " Summer time " on Norways got talent . Her performance is jaw dropping .
😃 from 🇳🇴
Check out AJ's "I Put a Spell On You" - the old version when she's 9 years old. B&W video. You'll find it very different..... Enjoy!
Thanks Lisa for your reaction. You are about to see your "views" and "subscribers " numbers increase dramatically. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Some brief info:
Angelina (b. 10 Jan 06) is a highly accomplished jazz artist. She has about 150 full song cover videos out as will as 4 original songs and various collaborations. If you like Angelina you will be hooked for life very quickly. I've been following/watching/listening for 4 years to everything Angelina done since she started singing at age 18months. I have two 1TB drives filled with Angelina. She is now, IMHO, the heiress apparent to the title "Greatest Singer Ever Recorded".
Angelina has covered Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Screamin' Jay Hawkins...more than 50 artists. She has 125+ covers on UA-cam and 4 original songs. She has performed with or for Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, Mark Ronson, Alan Walker and others all at their specific requests. She is the youngest to be asked (she accepted) to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. She has made command performances to 4 heads of state including a U.S. President. She donated her 80K Euros from winning Norway's Got Talent to children's charities and raised 21 million Euros in Germany for children. She has performed live before 40,000 fans and at very small venues with equal aplomb. She is equally comfortable, and respected by world class orchestras, jazz quartets, acoustic guitarists or even a Cappella. She remains independent of the West Coast entertainment cesspool (Note: Angelina signed to Republic Records since this was originally written.) and its thieves, liars and pedophiles and is in complete control of her career. She is supported by a truly loving family and millions of fans. She has over ONE BILLION hits on social media and her talents are considered astonishing to hundreds of professional music coaches, critics and fellow artists. She selects what material to perform and does all her own arrangements. She plays 4 instruments and is fluent in 4 languages. She is the youngest published author in Norway. She has her own production company with copyrighted LPs, EPs', videos, publications and merchandise. She always comports herself with grace, humility and respect for all including audience, fans and artists.
Angelina's almost endless talent is exceeded only by the beauty of her soul as God intended it should.
jeffrey A couple of corrections: over 600 million views on YT; over 2 billion views on FB......She speaks 3 languages fluently. She speak some Swedish (because of her father) and is reportedly learning Japanese.
In 2015, Jordan published the book Mellom to hjerter (Between Two Hearts), illustrated by her grandmother, Iranian artist Mery Zamani. The book tells the story of her meeting a poor motherless girl in Asia who has no shoes. After a long conversation in which they discuss their dreams in life, she gives the girl her shoes and the girl promises to pray for Jordan to fulfill her dream to become a successful singer. According to Jordan the book is based on a real incident which she cites as the reason for always performing barefoot.
DEFINITELY check out her earlier work, but if you're keen to jump ahead, her NEW cover of "My Funny Valentine" That she released recently has jumped up to be likely my favorite..Such a masterpiece/master class.
The appreciation of Angelina's vocal genius requires paying attention to all the nuances and subtleties that she brings to every performance. Not too sure if you're up to the task, because how could you overlook the piano accompanying her?
Hi Lisa you have no idea what you have just discovered
Thanks for that nice reaction.

Hi Lisa & thank you for this nice reaction. (beware of the trolls that are fake Angie fans) I'm going to give a lot of info on Angie so please read & you'll know a whole lot more. Welcome to the world of Angelina’s music. Angie takes covers & Angelinalizes them & they become new & complete. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did “Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html at barely 9. On AGT Angie made her outfit from patterns of her grandma's art work. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 4 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd or 4th. Angie turned 15 on 1-10-21 & she’s 6 ft tall. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Others will explain this or you can look it up. Angie has so many skills/abilities & talents threr's no room to write them all, including AP, tremolo, timing etc. Angie just turned 15 on 1-10-21. I'll give you a some links to her 1st released single by Republic records titled “Million Miles” She wrote this shortly after her grandpa died in Nov. 2019, she was 13 & her other grandpa died in 2018. Angie & her grandma did the art for the (official lyric video). Angelina said, “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in you heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.”
(even Quincy Jones said "He hasn't seen this amount of talent/skill in a singer since Michael Jackson" Even David Foster is blown away with her abilities & she sang for him too)
(I do hope you buy & download her single & help support her art & music)

These are just scratching the top of the iceberg she can even hit a high Eb7 & at least a A2. Laura is 18 now & starting to take off in her career. When Laura won Romania's Got Talent in 2016, She donated half of her prize money (about 120,000 euros) to help the poor and underprivileged in that country. She has since gone on to do numerous concert performances and has released a number of singles. She donates half of the income from that to the poor and needy as well. She made it to the finals & she didn't sign with ATG just like Angelina Jordan & she got 6th place also. But now Laura & Angie are on their way to being bigger than AGT, In real life, Laura is a kind, loving respectful & giving Christian girl. She did great in Eurovision Romania in 2019 also. She sings Operatic Pop/Christian crossover. Laura just signed with Universal Music Family in Nov. 2020.
She invited to sing every year a David Foster Foundation yearly event & usually does.
You need to react to her song million miles 👀
👍👍🇳🇴🇱🇷🇵🇱😀
She has 133 songs on UA-cam from when she was in preschool to the present (she just turned 15). FYI; you need to hear 30 or 40 to get a true sense of her vocal range. Her voice is different in virtually every one. Here is a playlist (alphabetical) of them all: ua-cam.com/play/PLySL7rbiavQeF962zkMPIEQVjX8wcZtgH.html. Scroll through and pick anything; but allow me to recommend her recent release from Republic Records "Million Miles", "A Million Years Ago", "A Song for A", "Wicked Game", "A Man's World", "Feeling Good", "If You Go Away" or any of her Elvis covers.
:)
Bohemian Rhapsody!
If you think this is great you should have heard the rendition that was done on her Christmas Show on the 23rd. She does have perfect tone and could have song the whole song A cappella
U ain't seen nothing yet!! Angelina is.....MUSIC!
Listen to her new song Million Miles

try i put a spell on you cover by angelina
Hi Lisa - I watched your reaction to Angelina Jordan's "Bohemean Rapsody" - great! ... I've looked through the list of your reactions but missed several AJ videos that I would really enjoy seeing you react to - so, I'm going to suggest "I Put A Spell On You" ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html - she was 9 years old when she made this video. I suspect you are, but, if you're not particularly familiar with "I Put A Spell On You," I suggest that, before watching AJ's version, you might want to watch the composer, Screamin' Jay Hawkins - written @ 1956 ... I think the version here will give a certain appreciation of AJ's performance - warning - he's a bit more theatrical than AJ LOL ... ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html - Anyway - thanks for your reactions - nice!
Angelina Jordan & Republic Records Dropped her new Music video Million miles it's Beautifully
Done! Juliette plays Angelina, and her Uncle Michael plays her Grandfather you need to react
Great reaction Thank you Please keep them coming ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html
Simon is extremely misunderstood. He looks bored most of the time but if you magically undo millions of dollars worth of plastic surgery he is actually smiling.
Not to love this girl is a sin
Why wouldn't you listen to the whole video. You need her background. I'm very disappointed.
