Elisha, You explained on Patreon that unlike some reactors you do not monetize from your reactions so you can actually play the entire songs through without interruptions at all for fear of being blocked. In the future you may cut in sometimes to make comment but not to avoid blocking. I think that is great to eliminate annoying cuts.
Many thanks Elisha for reacting to the only music prodigy who specializes in vocals. The craziest part is that even at a very young age, Angelina has the most soulful, emotional voice I have ever heard. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible until she completes high school and so far it appears that is the plan. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
As someone that has watched thousands of Angelina reactions, I just want to say that you pointed out some things here that nobody else has noticed on this cover. ...like the way she changed the emphases on "never" and it changes the way the line hits. Angelina does this with so many songs. As you dig deeper into her massive library of works, you are going to see this again and again. There are so many songs that I have heard all my life and never really understood them until this genius explained them to me in her own special way. You'll see what I mean ;) And since you are 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 five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. - Updates: 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 released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven" She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
Thank you Rusty. I have been following Angelina for just over four years. More than many, but certainly not as long as many “Angels” particularly the Scandinavians who have had the opportunity to see her in person from the start. It is only recently that I have been adding my two cents in the comments section (especially to reactor’s videos) and it is thrilling to share learned information for the soon-to-be Angelina Jordan fans just starting their journey. I have noticed that there is a bit of information that is at best, specious, although shared with the love of Angelina’s talent at its root. I am always pleased to see your name to a first reactor’s comments section. I know they will receive good, helpful and accurate knowledge about our beloved singer without extraneous information that often strays from knowing the real Angelina. I have learned much from many of Angelina’s long time fans. They share Angelina’s good spirit and always respond respectfully to other people’s queries. Keep up your wonderful work Rusty. I’m sure Angelina is proud and grateful to have you “singing” her praises.
You gotta see see her "I put a spell on you"..video... Guaranteed to blow your mind..my fav AJ performance...been a fan since she was on Norway's Got Talent at age 7, which she won...
we Angels,Angelina say so to us support her,Welcome in to the big journey of Angelinas music, 15 years old, starts singing in studio when she was only 6 years old, a girl who will captivate you, a young star,born to sing,she is very addictive,and you are warned in a good way,thanks for this great discovery.
Thanks for a very intelligent and interesting reaction…I am 78 years old and have not in my life heard a vocalist with such emotive, evocative techniques-smoky, raspy, breathy, belting, etc., etc. I am a fan of Angelina until I pass from this earth-she is an earth angel worthy of her name!
I too am 78 and Elvis had been my #1 favorite singer since 1957. I first heard Angelina when a local TV station here in Costa Rica (moved here from the States when I retired) played the video of her first performance on NGT. I fell in love with the voice of a 7 yo and 8 years later I still can not go a day without listening to her several times (like 20 -30 times)! Elvis long ago became my #2 best singer! Listening to Angelina is the best tranquilizer there is. And it is not just her voice and musical genius, it is the person she is! I truly believe her singing is not the only reason God sent her here at this time in history. Her latest cover says it all! I believe she will be a driving force in helping to "heal the World"!
Thank you for your first Angelina reaction , she turned 15 in January and that is her latest video. If you continue to react to her you will come to realise what a unique talent she is and what a wonderful soul she has. Fans will be along soon with all the background information for you.
The pianist is the Grammy Award winning Rob Christie. Producer at Republic Records. Angelina signed last year with Republic Records and is a their priority young artist.
Nice reaction! She is a child prodigy heavily influenced by jazz and blues. Her grandmother played this type of music when she was really young and it has stuck with her. Her influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Amy Winehouse, and Whitney Houston to name a few. She competed and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7 years old. She is currently 15 years old right now and just signed a record deal here in the U.S with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. Angelina has so many fans here on UA-cam and people discovering her and liking her continues to grow. There's a reason why so many people are doing reaction videos of her...she's really good! If you're willing to go down the rabbit hole, please start off by watching her sing I Put A Spell on You @ when she was 8 years old. I first saw her when she competed on Americas Got Talent: The Champions in January. She was 13 years old at this time and blew away the audience and judges by singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and got the Golden Buzzer @ Even Queen saw her performance and tweeted out that they were blown away by her. She has many videos on UA-cam where she does a lot of covers, but she has put out some original songs as well. Keep up the good work and enjoy the Angelina ride!
I'm 66 and have been following Angelina for 5 years. She's the best singer I've ever heard. The Barefoot Princess. She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 and auditioned when she was 7 with Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday. She left the judges speechless.
Update Less than 24 hours ago you posted this video. Your highest viewed video before this was posted 4 months ago and is just short of 1000 views. As of now Angelina’s video has more than 10 thousand views, more than 1100 likes, and 228 comments. And you gained about 500 new subscribers. This tell me few things. Beside the fact that Angelina is a once in a generation talent, her fans are extremely loyal and will support her and anyone genuinely reacting to her. It also tells me that her fans connect with you first because of your bubbly personality (I don’t know if those bubbly drinks have anything to do with it LOL) and secondly because of your honesty and your introduction at the beginning of the video. Your positivity is infectious. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks for a great first reaction to this awesome young artist. Angelina is an extraordinary young artist from Norway with over 140 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.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 15, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

Thank you, Elisha Ann, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as a professional, you do it extremely 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 millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
The way she sings the word "never"... the end of it. Beautiful. She's been singing since she was 18 months old. As a friend reminded me, there is a photo somewhere of her with a baby bottle in one hand and a mic in the other. A lot of us have been watching her learn, experiment, execute, and refine her magical talent for a long time.
Angelina consistently makes people cry just listening to her voice. I have seen it time and again even with experienced people doing reactions, who are embarrassed to break down on camera. She maintains her decision to sing barefoot, and when people are told why, it means something deep to us, we remember it. I'm sure we have never before had a voice and a spirit like Angelina's, and we may never again.
That was fun. I hope you take the Angelina journey, to see how she has developed her craft, where she goes next, and experience the chills and shocks that most get from her. There's no better current artiste on youtube with which to do so. Welcome!
I Put A Spell on You (Screamin' Jay Hawkins cover) at 9 years old is a voice roller coaster.. 6 years old, a year before NGT, in the studio belting out I Who Have Nothing.. is about the earliest video, aside from snippets in compilation video's of home life, singing Whitney Houston at 2 years old
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan.
Always happy to see more and more people come to know Angelina Jordan 😊 She's so underrated and deserves more spotlight. She's not only talented, she's also very, very kindhearted. 🥰
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 just turned 15yo and 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.
This is the voice of the century. She is 15 years old. You may react to whatever you want from Angelina. All of her covers are equal or better than the original if you asked me. She is often seen reading the lyrics while she is singing. And English is not her 1st language. She is a prodigy from Norway. I am now a subscriber to your channel. I want you to react to Angelina. I'm addicted to her voice. And I don't know why. You can find out what it is she is doing. You're the expert.
She always picks songs that she feels. She channels the meaning and gives listeners an emotional jolt. Always her own but always respectful of the origin of the song. She is influenced by many artists but even at seven she always changed the songs to express her interpretation. Set aside the mind numbing vocal talent, her music IQ and her pace and timing are astounding. Many professional musicians are slack Jared when hearing her the first time. There are a lot of rehearsal videos out there where you can see it. Check out the studio session of Portrait of a Child, her adaptation of Screamin Jay Hawkins Portrait of a Man. Her adaptation. Her working with professionals. And she is ten!
@@elishaannmusic You will soon learn that Angelina has millions of fans (she calls us her "Angels"), and they will soon descend on your channel. You will also learn that we know A LOT about AJ and her family: her mother Sara Astar, grandma Mery Zamani (also a child prodigy, in art and poetry), uncle Michael Astar (also AJ's manager), and little sister Juliette, among others. It is her strong, supportive, and loving family that has protected Angelina from the craziness of the music industry while she develops her talent (remember: she's still just a sophomore in high school). In fact, AJ's original song "Shield" is a tribute to the support she gets from her family. I expect after a few more reactions to her, you too will become an Angel -- in awe of her immense talent, and protective of her as a child at the same time. Welcome to Angelina's World!
Hello🖐 Thank you for your first reaction to our gal , Angelina Jordan. Just a quick mention that I noticed there were some parts skipped or jumped ahead slightly in the video _ Copytight reason perhaps? Now,, let me tell you., you are in for a treat with this girl. A Norwegian music prodigy. Started singing from age 1 and a half for goodness sake !! Crazy right? . Has become a UA-cam sensation from the age of 7 when she entered Norway's Got Talent and WON . She is currently 15 years old. Throughout the 9 yr period she has sung over 130 covers & 5 original songs of her own. Angelina has an extensive fan base and and loyal flowing . We, her Angels , thoroughly enjoy the likes of you, who is not just a reactor but a singer vocal coach qualified to give technical reviews of performanves. Quick question, have you ever come across music prodigies before? I know it would be very hard to identify Angelina straight off the bat as one by just this song alone, so my suggestion is to react to her black & white version " I Put A Spell on You " ( she is 9 years old) ,you might have even sung the song yourself at some stage , and let Angelina astound you with her vocals skills and interpretation. After that , I hope you will want to discover the 'girl with 1000 voices' ..I have subscribed in anticipation of your next reaction to Angelina . Regards from Brisbane , Australia.
Elisha Ann, welcome to a new 🌎...enjoy the ride and do not be afraid to choose any of the 13something covers and originals, you won't be disappointed by any chance 💕🎉
Thank you for your reaction to Angelina. I saw in other comments, they’ve told you all the important things about her. She’s very young and actually for me, one if the best female vocalist. She’s the girl of the 1000 voices. Amazing! Waiting for your next Angelina’s reaction. I suscribed because of her.
@@mrstlu4838 There are actually videos of her when she was 5, and she is now 15. However, it's correct she was at the ripe age of 7 when she won Norway Got Talent, and became an overnight sensation.
@@pika6240 NGT 2014 was aired over several months. She auditioned (her first performance) when she was seven. By the time she sang Summertime in the finals, which she won, she had already had her 8th birthday..
Your world is about to change. You have just cracked the Angelina door open. She is 15 here and has been singing for 13.5 years. No, that is not a typo. That big black round thing in front of you is the Angelina rabbit hole. Jump in. You will be astonished and bewildered. There will be lots of other comments here with details, so have fun.
@@elishaannmusic i always feel a bit jealous of people hearing her work for the first time, because it is mind blowing and exciting. I still feel that way after watching over and over. Every day, i look to see what she's been up to. My absolute fave right now is her cover of Adele's "All I Ask". There couldn't be a more beautiful rendered song. Angie's only 15 - she makes me excited for what is to come.
Angelina is a musical genius and a masterpainter with her voice. I've introduced into the Angelina sphere an expression saying that she is "the girl with the thousand voices". She is in a class of her own so the only joke here is that she makes everyone else sound like a joke..... ...but Angelina is a good girl and would never step on someone else.... Continue on and discover the uniqueness of Angelina.... she is so much more than just someone who like to sing a song or two.....
Prepare yourself! If you fall into her spell you will be on a journey that will change your outlook of life! The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. The most amazing vocalist of Generations developing in front of our eyes! She will be surprised, delighted, inspired... with her Angelic Voice. A child Prodigy coming into her own. She grew up on Jazz but has conquered every venue she has tried. Be prepared for the ride of a lifetime if you decide to take a journey on her road to super stardom! Enjoy! 🤷🏻♀️😲😪👅
JUST SUBSCRIBED. As a vocal coach you could not have a better tool than the video diary of Angelina Jordan. You will be able to decipher her voice, techniques,inflections and all that good stuff that teachers discuss. Watching how her voice changes from year to year and what she learns as she develops. Many of us "Angels" have seen nearly every, if not every, video at least once and have a deep connection to this musical prodigy. The reason is we have seen her grow from a baby and it's like watching one of your own. Angelina is able to interpret, arrange and deliver a song that reaches deep in ones soul which is what a true singer should be able to do. Many young artists, as well as seasoned artists can make the notes but it is very rare to get that emotional connection and that is where Angelina excels. After you view "I put a spell on you", black and white version at 9.2 years old you can see how she improved at 10 years old with "FEELING GOOD, Live on the Stream Gir Tilbake". This performance to me is better than any singer I've ever heard perform it including all the great jazz artists. Look forward to hopefully your own journey with this multi talented young future superstar. Cheers from Florida
Awesome reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 Subscribed so I dont miss the next one. I wish you had some headphones\earplugs so you could hear every little nuance of her voice, laptop speakers dont do good music justice 😊 She was barely 15 here, try her black and white version of 'I put a spell on you', from when she was 9, and you will get a little hint of how incredibly talented this girl is. Take care and see you in the next one!
"Summertime" NGT, she was 8 yo. "Bohemian Rhapsody" AGT, she was 13 yo. "I put a spell on you" (studio) she was 9 yo. You can thank me later. Can't wait to see your face when you react to her more dear. It will be something special for sure. And I think she is best voman vocal performer of "all time" also.
Elisha, thanks for your great review. You will find listening to Angelina's songs something special. Listen to her earlier works, they are amazing 👏 😍 ✨
I have known Angelina since she was three years old. Been there for her musical journey. I am so fortunate to know her and that she has sung for me literally hundreds of times in informal situations. You may be able to explain only approximately how she achieves her sound pedagogically but you cannot by ANY means teach someone to do what Angelina does with her voice. Your explication is good but this is a once in a century artist. There is no “doing what she does” that can be taught to anybody. But good luck to any of your students who want to give it a try. To hear her voice in person is an otherworldly experience. It cannot be taught or replicated.
When Adele sings you hear the song, when Angelina sings you feel the song! Love your reaction, need to look at this one because here’s the song that really started it all. When you see her mom wiping away tears, she said, and I’m paraphrasing, that that’s when she realized that she has lost Angelina to the world!! ua-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/v-deo.html
Nice, really nice reaction, and your ability as a singer and coach is amazingly obvious, I haven't heard a reaction quite like yours and it was pretty cool.
Thank you for this reaction and your analysis and commentary! Hoping for, and looking forward to more in the future. I also wanted to say that I looks your attitude about respectful behavior.
@@elishaannmusic WHEN you react to her audition on America's Got Talent The Champions (she sang Bohemian Rhapsody) the outfit was a print from a painting her grandmother did. Mery (G-ma) is Persian and Farsi , along with Norwegian, were Angelina's first languages, she also speaks Some Swedish, and speaks and has performed in Japanese ( One of her grandfathers had Japanese ancestry) P.S. I got a kick out of your "Valley Girl" accent.
@@elishaannmusic She wrote her own book at 9 youngest published author in Norway why she sings barefoot and let me tell you her words in it can melt iron. Straight out of her diary deep into your soul your heart shall grow at least 10 fold.
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a best-selling book, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The grandmother on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Shortly after her performance on Americas got talent show she was signed by Republic Music and has produced Million Miles (song for her recently deceased grandfather), Seventh Heaven, Heal The World it's her start at the world market and I'm sure she'll dominate.
When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 300 Million Views on UA-cam and over 1 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via UA-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years, I know that we will see great things from Angelina.(Google translate)
You spotted things in your review that many other reactors haven't pointed out. I love watching vocal coaches and pro singers react to her, I have seen more than one completely freeze and not move as they review her. One of her video's I love is "Summertime" but view the one marked "Norway" she is 7 because she hasn't won the competition yet and she wins at 7.
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan's rabbit hole. Our barefoot princess queen of Jazz. She nails this song totally blows it out of the water. Great Job! keep them coming!
Welcome to the Angelina’s world and thanks for your great reaction to this emotional performance by Angelina Jordan Astar (her full name). If you continue reacting to her, get ready for an amazing music journey with this Barefoot Angel. She has more than 140 covers, rehearsals, and original videos on YT. You should google and find out why she always appears barefoot in her public performances as an advocate for children of the world who are victims of poverty. There is a good reason why Republic Records signed a contract with her last year at 14 yo. Angelina is the girl with 1000 voices. I suggest you react to performances where Angelina appeared in public when she was 7 yo on Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) and was recognized as a music prodigy. The following are all her performances on NGT plus a performance by Angelina in the TV serial - Lilyhammer: Her 1st song on NGT ua-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/v-deo.html Angelina Jordan (7) - Gloomy Sunday (Norways Got Talent 2014) Mar 10, 2014 Her 2nd song on NGT ua-cam.com/video/eR_RdEDMRRM/v-deo.html Amazing (Angelina Jordan) Eight Year Old Sings I'm a Fool to Want You - Billy Holiday Acapella Mar 28, 2014 Her 3rd song on NGT ua-cam.com/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/v-deo.html Angelina Jordan synger Sinatra i semifinalen i Norske Talenter 2014 Apr 22, 2014 Her last song on NGT ua-cam.com/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/v-deo.html Angelina Jordan - Complete Summertime Segment - Norske Talenter - subtitles May 24, 2014 Angelina singing on TV serial Lilyhammer ua-cam.com/video/1TkGeO6gWCI/v-deo.html Angelina Jordan - I'm A Fool To Want You - Lilyhammer - International and Norwegian versions Nov 1, 2020
I don't know what's up with the skipping thru parts of the performance. It actually comes off as recording glitches rather than intentional. Either way it's something that can hopefully be rectified in future videos.
@@elishaannmusic Pausing the performance and commenting/analyzing (also to avoid copyright) has never been an issue for me or most people. Talking over a performance or cutting out parts of a performance is where most people start to take issue. Keep in mind people are clicking on your video ( at least initially ) because it's a singer they already enjoy and are interested in a vocal coach or singers perspective so I don't think long and boring is really a factor ( unless it's a 4 minute song with 30 minutes of analysis).
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she owns the rights to everything she sings and with aquired permissions for covers of other singers. 2. She refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 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. 5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot, sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old! 6. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 7. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
Nice reaction Elisha. Angelina has recorded about 140 covers of songs, and five originals. Virtually everything ranges from (at worst) very good, to mindblowing or magnificent. Picking my favourites: Age 7: "Gloomy Sunday", and "Bang Bang" (2014); age 8 "Summertime" and outdoor "What a Difference a Day Makes"; age 9 "I Put a Spell on You (black & white studio version) and "What a Difference a Day Makes" (live show in Singapore); age 10 "Feeling Good" on The Stream Gir Tilbake; and "I'm Still Holding Out for You" (leaked video - but still brilliant); age 12 live performances: "Shield" (own composition on Norway TV); "It's a Man's World" (outdoor); also "Cry Me a River"; age 13 (on America's Got Talent, The Champions) "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"; age 14 "Million Miles" studio version, own composition and "I'm a Fool to Love You" (sung exactly like Billie Holliday); age 15 "Seventh Heaven" own composition; the last two are with Republic Records. Only 15, and already one of the greatest interpretative vocalists ever.
Hello there, thanks for reacting to Angelina Jordan covering All I Ask.I suggest that you take a look and react to her original song which was released not long ago "Million Miles".I can assure you will love it.
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. 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)
You should react to Snarky Puppy featuring Lalah Hathaway singing "Something". Lalah is one of the greatest vocalist I i've ever heard. She won a grammy 2013 for best R&B song. You will be blown away by her vocal skills and the amazing musical arrangement. BTW great reaction video of AJ. One of the most promising upcoming artist. You should listen to her originals such as "Millions Miles. or "7th Heaven" they are great.
Great reaction...you should go back to where it all started on Norways got talent age 7with her performances Gloomy Sunday Summertime and Bang Bang you shot me down...amazing 💚
Nice that you have found Angelina Jordan you'll see your subscribers jump, her fans are crazy for her music and covers so the more you react to her content the more subs you'll get. Besides that English isn't her first language even though she can now speak it pretty good. She's Norwegian but learned most of her English from jazz music from the age of 1 1/2 years old. I believe she knows about 4 different languages at this point. Anyway welcome to the 🐇🕳

Angelina almost always borrows something of the original singer's style when she covers a song. What you heard here is her Adele voice. She has at least a dozen others, including, most notably, Amy Winehouse (to whom she is endlessly compared). That thing she did every time she sang "like" (except the first time, where she just used vocal fry) and "by" is something I think she only does when she's covering Adele. And can we talk about that run? It was unlike any run I've ever heard her do (I'm mostly talking about how she reduces the variation more and more as it goes on, until it kind of "collapses in on itself" - very unusual). As a vocal coach, I think you'll find Angelina Jordan's stuff to be an absolute goldmine for discussing vocal techniques, style, confidence, etc. And don't be afraid to go back to her earliest stuff in the public eye, at 7, 8, and 9. You might wonder how much technique and style you can get from a singer that young. Oh, you have *no* idea… [grin]
Beautiful reaction, would you do a old school reaction to Elvis the king of rock and roll. One night with you from his 68 comeback special or if you want to see Elvis really get down watch suspicious minds or Polk salad Annie from his 1970 performance in Vegas live. I promise you will love it but be careful he will steal your heart 😎
Glad you discovered Angelina she's really a prodigy, you'll have a blast with her songs and us watching you discover her :) You'll get plenty of suggestions of other songs I'm sure, but in my opinion the next one you should cover is her version of "I put a spell on you", it's the Screaming Jay Hawkins original she covered at 9 and the arrangements are her own. As there are 2 versions here is the link to the best one : ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html Other great choices are all her Norway got talent performances, her AGT Champions covers of Bohemian rhapsody and yellow brick road, and her covers of I'd rather go blind, Feeling good (this one ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html is the best) and to be honest any of the covers from her cover channel are great. And of course there are her 5 original songs Oslo, What is life, Shield, Million miles and 7 heaven. Have fun :D
Thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan. Here are a few more artists you will love to react to; Dimash Kudaibergen, start with «SOS » (it’s in French, if you would rather have an English song, try « Across Endless Dimensions), Lara Fabian, « Je suis malade » (put in English subtitles), Diana Ankudinova « Wicked ». All amazing!
Hi Elisha Ann, if you want to discover more of such "WHOAH!!!" moments react to more Angelina videos! ;-))) Even if you got alrady over 190 comments with a lot of information let me send my "standard firsties comment" too - may be you will find some new information in it ;))) So here it is - a wee bit personalized: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice, lively and professional reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late!

So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...

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
Sweetheart you are experiencing greatness, this is Angelina jordan the Princess of Jazz, the Barefoot Princess of Jazz, welcome to the rabbit hole, it's the most fun you'll have in the long long time 😊 😄 ❤
Elisha, You explained on Patreon that unlike some reactors you do not monetize from your reactions so you can actually play the entire songs through without interruptions at all for fear of being blocked. In the future you may cut in sometimes to make comment but not to avoid blocking. I think that is great to eliminate annoying cuts.
Many thanks Elisha for reacting to the only music prodigy who specializes in vocals. The craziest part is that even at a very young age, Angelina has the most soulful, emotional voice I have ever heard. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on UA-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on UA-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible until she completes high school and so far it appears that is the plan.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
As someone that has watched thousands of Angelina reactions, I just want to say that you pointed out some things here that nobody else has noticed on this cover. ...like the way she changed the emphases on "never" and it changes the way the line hits. Angelina does this with so many songs. As you dig deeper into her massive library of works, you are going to see this again and again. There are so many songs that I have heard all my life and never really understood them until this genius explained them to me in her own special way. You'll see what I mean ;)
And since you are 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 five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
- Updates: 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 released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"!
On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven"
She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
Wonderfully stated Rusty.
Thanks Rusty ❤
Thank you Rusty. I have been following Angelina for just over four years. More than many, but certainly not as long as many “Angels” particularly the Scandinavians who have had the opportunity to see her in person from the start.
It is only recently that I have been adding my two cents in the comments section (especially to reactor’s videos) and it is thrilling to share learned information for the soon-to-be Angelina Jordan fans just starting their journey.
I have noticed that there is a bit of information that is at best, specious, although shared with the love of Angelina’s talent at its root.
I am always pleased to see your name to a first reactor’s comments section. I know they will receive good, helpful and accurate knowledge about our beloved singer without extraneous information that often strays from knowing the real Angelina.
I have learned much from many of Angelina’s long time fans. They share Angelina’s good spirit and always respond respectfully to other people’s queries.
Keep up your wonderful work Rusty. I’m sure Angelina is proud and grateful to have you “singing” her praises.
And Rusty... tusen takk! 😉
Hi, I'm Mark nickname Popeye. I want to personnally thank you for all you have done to promote Angelina. To me you are a God send tpp! God Bless!
You gotta see see her "I put a spell on you"..video... Guaranteed to blow your mind..my fav AJ performance...been a fan since she was on Norway's Got Talent at age 7, which she won...
we Angels,Angelina say so to us support her,Welcome in to the big journey of Angelinas music, 15 years old, starts singing in studio when she was only 6 years old, a girl who will captivate you, a young star,born to sing,she is very addictive,and you are warned in a good way,thanks for this great discovery.
Thanks for a very intelligent and interesting reaction…I am 78 years old and have not in my life heard a vocalist with such emotive, evocative techniques-smoky, raspy, breathy, belting, etc., etc. I am a fan of Angelina until I pass from this earth-she is an earth angel worthy of her name!
60 here, fully concur!
I too am 78 and Elvis had been my #1 favorite singer since 1957. I first heard Angelina when a local TV station here in Costa Rica (moved here from the States when I retired) played the video of her first performance on NGT. I fell in love with the voice of a 7 yo and 8 years later I still can not go a day without listening to her several times (like 20 -30 times)! Elvis long ago became my #2 best singer! Listening to Angelina is the best tranquilizer there is. And it is not just her voice and musical genius, it is the person she is! I truly believe her singing is not the only reason God sent her here at this time in history. Her latest cover says it all! I believe she will be a driving force in helping to "heal the World"!
Angelina Jordan is freakin awesome ❤ The warmth and the emotions of this is just so amazing 👍
Thank you for your first Angelina reaction , she turned 15 in January and that is her latest video. If you continue to react to her you will come to realise what a unique talent she is and what a wonderful soul she has. Fans will be along soon with all the background information for you.
The pianist is the Grammy Award winning Rob Christie. Producer at Republic Records.
Angelina signed last year with Republic Records and is a their priority young artist.
Nice reaction! She is a child prodigy heavily influenced by jazz and blues. Her grandmother played this type of music when she was really young and it has stuck with her. Her influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Amy Winehouse, and Whitney Houston to name a few. She competed and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7 years old. She is currently 15 years old right now and just signed a record deal here in the U.S with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. Angelina has so many fans here on UA-cam and people discovering her and liking her continues to grow. There's a reason why so many people are doing reaction videos of her...she's really good! If you're willing to go down the rabbit hole, please start off by watching her sing I Put A Spell on You @ when she was 8 years old. I first saw her when she competed on Americas Got Talent: The Champions in January. She was 13 years old at this time and blew away the audience and judges by singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and got the Golden Buzzer @ Even Queen saw her performance and tweeted out that they were blown away by her. She has many videos on UA-cam where she does a lot of covers, but she has put out some original songs as well. Keep up the good work and enjoy the Angelina ride!
She was 9 yrs and 2 months old for I Put a Spell on You. A year after winning NGT.
I'm 66 and have been following Angelina for 5 years. She's the best singer I've ever heard. The Barefoot Princess. She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 and auditioned when she was 7 with Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday. She left the judges speechless.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ The more you listen to Angelina, the more you'll be saying, "Whoa!!!"
Update
Less than 24 hours ago you posted this video.
Your highest viewed video before this was posted 4 months ago and is just short of 1000 views. As of now Angelina’s video has more than 10 thousand views, more than 1100 likes, and 228 comments. And you gained about 500 new subscribers.
This tell me few things. Beside the fact that Angelina is a once in a generation talent, her fans are extremely loyal and will support her and anyone genuinely reacting to her. It also tells me that her fans connect with you first because of your bubbly personality (I don’t know if those bubbly drinks have anything to do with it LOL) and secondly because of your honesty and your introduction at the beginning of the video. Your positivity is infectious.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks for a great first reaction to this awesome young artist. Angelina is an extraordinary young artist from Norway with over 140 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.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 15, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more.
Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

@@elishaannmusic Start at the beginning NGT Gloomy Sunday....please
tank you for your review . congratulations as you have come across an amazing young singer .
Thank you, Elisha Ann, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as a professional, you do it extremely 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 millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
The way she sings the word "never"... the end of it. Beautiful. She's been singing since she was 18 months old. As a friend reminded me, there is a photo somewhere of her with a baby bottle in one hand and a mic in the other. A lot of us have been watching her learn, experiment, execute, and refine her magical talent for a long time.
It is a video on You Tube that have her belting out "I will always love you"
Angelina consistently makes people cry just listening to her voice. I have seen it time and again even with experienced people doing reactions, who are embarrassed to break down on camera. She maintains her decision to sing barefoot, and when people are told why, it means something deep to us, we remember it. I'm sure we have never before had a voice and a spirit like Angelina's, and we may never again.
That was fun. I hope you take the Angelina journey, to see how she has developed her craft, where she goes next, and experience the chills and shocks that most get from her. There's no better current artiste on youtube with which to do so. Welcome!
Ok, now the rabbit hole comes next, then after countless "What did I just hear?" You realize "Next Level Event" That's what this is.
I Put A Spell on You (Screamin' Jay Hawkins cover) at 9 years old is a voice roller coaster.. 6 years old, a year before NGT, in the studio belting out I Who Have Nothing.. is about the earliest video, aside from snippets in compilation video's of home life, singing Whitney Houston at 2 years old
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan.
Welcome Angelina's world!..she is our barefoot princess with 1000 voices.
Always happy to see more and more people come to know Angelina Jordan 😊 She's so underrated and deserves more spotlight. She's not only talented, she's also very, very kindhearted. 🥰
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 just turned 15yo and 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.
Great reaction, thank you for sharing. Welcome to the rabbit hole. You have wonderful journey now.❤
This is the voice of the century. She is 15 years old. You may react to whatever you want from Angelina. All of her covers are equal or better than the original if you asked me. She is often seen reading the lyrics while she is singing. And English is not her 1st language. She is a prodigy from Norway. I am now a subscriber to your channel. I want you to react to Angelina. I'm addicted to her voice. And I don't know why. You can find out what it is she is doing. You're the expert.
She always picks songs that she feels. She channels the meaning and gives listeners an emotional jolt. Always her own but always respectful of the origin of the song. She is influenced by many artists but even at seven she always changed the songs to express her interpretation. Set aside the mind numbing vocal talent, her music IQ and her pace and timing are astounding. Many professional musicians are slack Jared when hearing her the first time. There are a lot of rehearsal videos out there where you can see it. Check out the studio session of Portrait of a Child, her adaptation of Screamin Jay Hawkins Portrait of a Man. Her adaptation. Her working with professionals. And she is ten!
Welcome you are late but better late then never. How many times can you see the rise of a legend ?
With this reaction to Angelina, I swear your career will change forever. The number of subscribers will explode and the number of viewers too.
Just subscribed for Angelina. Good luck your channel. Angelina is magical and has been since Sara (her mother) gave birth.
@@elishaannmusic You will soon learn that Angelina has millions of fans (she calls us her "Angels"), and they will soon descend on your channel. You will also learn that we know A LOT about AJ and her family: her mother Sara Astar, grandma Mery Zamani (also a child prodigy, in art and poetry), uncle Michael Astar (also AJ's manager), and little sister Juliette, among others. It is her strong, supportive, and loving family that has protected Angelina from the craziness of the music industry while she develops her talent (remember: she's still just a sophomore in high school). In fact, AJ's original song "Shield" is a tribute to the support she gets from her family. I expect after a few more reactions to her, you too will become an Angel -- in awe of her immense talent, and protective of her as a child at the same time. Welcome to Angelina's World!
Hello🖐
Thank you for your first reaction to our gal , Angelina Jordan. Just a quick mention that I noticed there were some parts skipped or jumped ahead slightly in the video _ Copytight reason perhaps?
Now,, let me tell you., you are in for a treat with this girl. A Norwegian music prodigy. Started singing from age 1 and a half for goodness sake !! Crazy right? . Has become a UA-cam sensation from the age of 7 when she entered Norway's Got Talent and WON . She is currently 15 years old. Throughout the 9 yr period she has sung over 130 covers & 5 original songs of her own. Angelina has an extensive fan base and and loyal flowing . We, her Angels , thoroughly enjoy the likes of you, who is not just a reactor but a singer vocal coach qualified to give technical reviews of performanves. Quick question, have you ever come across music prodigies before? I know it would be very hard to identify Angelina straight off the bat as one by just this song alone, so my suggestion is to react to her black & white version " I Put A Spell on You " ( she is 9 years old) ,you might have even sung the song yourself at some stage , and let Angelina astound you with her vocals skills and interpretation. After that , I hope you will want to discover the 'girl with 1000 voices' ..I have subscribed in anticipation of your next reaction to Angelina . Regards from Brisbane , Australia.
Elisha Ann, welcome to a new 🌎...enjoy the ride and do not be afraid to choose any of the 13something covers and originals, you won't be disappointed by any chance 💕🎉
Thank you for your reaction to Angelina. I saw in other comments, they’ve told you all the important things about her.
She’s very young and actually for me, one if the best female vocalist. She’s the girl of the 1000 voices. Amazing!
Waiting for your next Angelina’s reaction.
I suscribed because of her.
You are 10 YEARS behind on this girl Time to catch up. Best vocal ever.
Make that 7. She has only been in the public eye/“ears?”since her audition from Nov ‘13 was broadcast early March 2014 and she went viral.
@@mrstlu4838 There are actually videos of her when she was 5, and she is now 15. However, it's correct she was at the ripe age of 7 when she won Norway Got Talent, and became an overnight sensation.
@@per-jonasxiamehus9439 She won NGT when she was 8.
@@pika6240 NGT 2014 was aired over several months. She auditioned (her first performance) when she was seven. By the time she sang Summertime in the finals, which she won, she had already had her 8th birthday..
Your world is about to change. You have just cracked the Angelina door open. She is 15 here and has been singing for 13.5 years. No, that is not a typo. That big black round thing in front of you is the Angelina rabbit hole. Jump in. You will be astonished and bewildered. There will be lots of other comments here with details, so have fun.
@@elishaannmusic i always feel a bit jealous of people hearing her work for the first time, because it is mind blowing and exciting. I still feel that way after watching over and over. Every day, i look to see what she's been up to. My absolute fave right now is her cover of Adele's "All I Ask". There couldn't be a more beautiful rendered song. Angie's only 15 - she makes me excited for what is to come.
@@elishaannmusic Angelina had a smoky voice when she performed "I who have nothing" in a studio at age 6. SIX! Nuts.
Angelina is a musical genius and a masterpainter with her voice. I've introduced into the Angelina sphere an expression saying that she is "the girl with the thousand voices". She is in a class of her own so the only joke here is that she makes everyone else sound like a joke..... ...but Angelina is a good girl and would never step on someone else.... Continue on and discover the uniqueness of Angelina.... she is so much more than just someone who like to sing a song or two.....
You are in for a magic carpet ride of your life❤
Prepare yourself! If you fall into her spell you will be on a journey that will change your outlook of life! The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. The most amazing vocalist of Generations developing in front of our eyes! She will be surprised, delighted, inspired... with her Angelic Voice. A child Prodigy coming into her own. She grew up on Jazz but has conquered every venue she has tried. Be prepared for the ride of a lifetime if you decide to take a journey on her road to super stardom! Enjoy! 🤷🏻♀️😲😪👅
@@elishaannmusic, jazz forever! And may Angelina Jordan turn the younger generation on to it’s beauty and power.
If you want another big Woah moment? See Angelina sing Yellow Brick Road from America's Got Talent at the age of 13💕
JUST SUBSCRIBED. As a vocal coach you could not have a better tool than the video diary of Angelina Jordan. You will be able to decipher her voice, techniques,inflections and all that good stuff that teachers discuss. Watching how her voice changes from year to year and what she learns as she develops. Many of us "Angels" have seen nearly every, if not every, video at least once and have a deep connection to this musical prodigy. The reason is we have seen her grow from a baby and it's like watching one of your own. Angelina is able to interpret, arrange and deliver a song that reaches deep in ones soul which is what a true singer should be able to do. Many young artists, as well as seasoned artists can make the notes but it is very rare to get that emotional connection and that is where Angelina excels. After you view "I put a spell on you", black and white version at 9.2 years old you can see how she improved at 10 years old with "FEELING GOOD, Live on the Stream Gir Tilbake". This performance to me is better than any singer I've ever heard perform it including all the great jazz artists. Look forward to hopefully your own journey with this multi talented young future superstar. Cheers from Florida
Awesome reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 Subscribed so I dont miss the next one. I wish you had some headphones\earplugs so you could hear every little nuance of her voice, laptop speakers dont do good music justice 😊 She was barely 15 here, try her black and white version of 'I put a spell on you', from when she was 9, and you will get a little hint of how incredibly talented this girl is. Take care and see you in the next one!
"Summertime" NGT, she was 8 yo.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" AGT, she was 13 yo.
"I put a spell on you" (studio) she was 9 yo.
You can thank me later.
Can't wait to see your face when you react to her more dear. It will be something special for sure.
And I think she is best voman vocal performer of "all time" also.
She’s definitely no joke 😆 she’s one in many a billion IMO. Loved your reaction..and love your thoughts on respect for artists. So correct. Subd.
Here’s Angelina 10 years old singing I feel good...:
Elisha, thanks for your great review. You will find listening to Angelina's songs something special. Listen to her earlier works, they are amazing 👏 😍 ✨
I have known Angelina since she was three years old. Been there for her musical journey. I am so fortunate to know her and that she has sung for me literally hundreds of times in informal situations. You may be able to explain only approximately how she achieves her sound pedagogically but you cannot by ANY means teach someone to do what Angelina does with her voice. Your explication is good but this is a once in a century artist. There is no “doing what she does” that can be taught to anybody. But good luck to any of your students who want to give it a try. To hear her voice in person is an otherworldly experience. It cannot be taught or replicated.
I think she will be dressing more or less in this way. Classy. That's how you keep beauty together
When Adele sings you hear the song, when Angelina sings you feel the song! Love your reaction, need to look at this one because here’s the song that really started it all. When you see her mom wiping away tears, she said, and I’m paraphrasing, that that’s when she realized that she has lost Angelina to the world!! ua-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/v-deo.html
I love how she backed off when she was singing this line. “and do what lovers do.” She softens the word “lovers” to make it more intimate.
Nice, really nice reaction, and your ability as a singer and coach is amazingly obvious, I haven't heard a reaction quite like yours and it was pretty cool.
Thank you for this reaction and your analysis and commentary! Hoping for, and looking forward to more in the future. I also wanted to say that I looks your attitude about respectful behavior.
You have a beautiful way of describing Angelina's talent. Thank you!
She makes her own clothes for a lot of her performances .
she is 15 FIFTEEN!! as of January 10th 2021.
@@elishaannmusic WHEN you react to her audition on America's Got Talent The Champions (she sang Bohemian Rhapsody) the outfit was a print from a painting her grandmother did.
Mery (G-ma) is Persian and Farsi , along with Norwegian, were Angelina's first languages, she also speaks Some Swedish, and speaks and has performed in Japanese ( One of her grandfathers had Japanese ancestry)
P.S. I got a kick out of your "Valley Girl" accent.
@@elishaannmusic She wrote her own book at 9 youngest published author in Norway why she sings barefoot and let me tell you her words in it can melt iron. Straight out of her diary deep into your soul your heart shall grow at least 10 fold.
I like your bright cheerful intro, I think she’s an amazing talent who trains (practices) like an elite athlete would. Her phrasing is unique
Angelina is a musical genius. Love her.
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a best-selling book, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The grandmother on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Shortly after her performance on Americas got talent show she was signed by Republic Music and has produced Million Miles (song for her recently deceased grandfather), Seventh Heaven, Heal The World it's her start at the world market and I'm sure she'll dominate.
She is amazing and sings with soul.
Angelina 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 300 Million Views on UA-cam and over 1 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via UA-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years, I know that we will see great things from Angelina.(Google translate)
You spotted things in your review that many other reactors haven't pointed out. I love watching vocal coaches and pro singers react to her, I have seen more than one completely freeze and not move as they review her. One of her video's I love is "Summertime" but view the one marked "Norway" she is 7 because she hasn't won the competition yet and she wins at 7.
john She sang Summertime in the finals of NGT when she was 8.
Get to know the barefoot story and you get to know what she is about ❤ Spread the love around the world through her music ❤
Really enjoyed your reaction , I'm a big fan of AJ . She has millions of fans worldwide again thumbs up to you I subscribed
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan's rabbit hole. Our barefoot princess queen of Jazz. She nails this song totally blows it out of the water. Great Job! keep them coming!
you have pretty good voice too.
LOVE HER VOICE‼❣‼
How to achieve a voice like that? Its God given
Welcome to the Angelina’s world and thanks for your great reaction to this emotional performance by Angelina Jordan Astar (her full name). If you continue reacting to her, get ready for an amazing music journey with this Barefoot Angel. She has more than 140 covers, rehearsals, and original videos on YT. You should google and find out why she always appears barefoot in her public performances as an advocate for children of the world who are victims of poverty. There is a good reason why Republic Records signed a contract with her last year at 14 yo. Angelina is the girl with 1000 voices.
I suggest you react to performances where Angelina appeared in public when she was 7 yo on Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) and was recognized as a music prodigy. The following are all her performances on NGT plus a performance by Angelina in the TV serial - Lilyhammer:

I don't know what's up with the skipping thru parts of the performance. It actually comes off as recording glitches rather than intentional. Either way it's something that can hopefully be rectified in future videos.
@@elishaannmusic Pausing the performance and commenting/analyzing (also to avoid copyright) has never been an issue for me or most people. Talking over a performance or cutting out parts of a performance is where most people start to take issue. Keep in mind people are clicking on your video ( at least initially ) because it's a singer they already enjoy and are interested in a vocal coach or singers perspective so I don't think long and boring is really a factor ( unless it's a 4 minute song with 30 minutes of analysis).
@@elishaannmusic Long or boring LOL, Angelinas songs are always to short for her Angels.
@@elishaannmusic, I think you will find Angelinas videos are never long enough and there’s not a boring one in the 140 + videos she has done.
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she owns the rights to everything she sings and with aquired permissions for covers of other singers.
2. She refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
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.
5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot, sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old!
6. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
7. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
This girl is very talented
Thank you for this reaction. I am sure somebody will give you her background in the comments. Because of her I have subscribed.
Just ran across this. Wonderful reaction. I’ll check to see if you have any more recent reactions to this angel
Nice reaction Elisha. Angelina has recorded about 140 covers of songs, and five originals. Virtually everything ranges from (at worst) very good, to mindblowing or magnificent. Picking my favourites: Age 7: "Gloomy Sunday", and "Bang Bang" (2014); age 8 "Summertime" and outdoor "What a Difference a Day Makes"; age 9 "I Put a Spell on You (black & white studio version) and "What a Difference a Day Makes" (live show in Singapore); age 10 "Feeling Good" on The Stream Gir Tilbake; and "I'm Still Holding Out for You" (leaked video - but still brilliant); age 12 live performances: "Shield" (own composition on Norway TV); "It's a Man's World" (outdoor); also "Cry Me a River"; age 13 (on America's Got Talent, The Champions) "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"; age 14 "Million Miles" studio version, own composition and "I'm a Fool to Love You" (sung exactly like Billie Holliday); age 15 "Seventh Heaven" own composition; the last two are with Republic Records. Only 15, and already one of the greatest interpretative vocalists ever.
Hello there, thanks for reacting to Angelina Jordan covering All I Ask.I suggest that you take a look and react to her original song which was released not long ago "Million Miles".I can assure you will love it.
Angel.ina😇🙏❤️ for ever
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. 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)
Спасибо!
You should react to Snarky Puppy featuring Lalah Hathaway singing "Something". Lalah is one of the greatest vocalist I i've ever heard. She won a grammy 2013 for best R&B song. You will be blown away by her vocal skills and the amazing musical arrangement. BTW great reaction video of AJ. One of the most promising upcoming artist. You should listen to her originals such as "Millions Miles. or "7th Heaven" they are great.
When she was SEVEN, one of the judges for Norway Got Talent said, "sounds like she has been drinking whiskey since birth."
Wonderful reaction, Elisha. I'm a fan of you now. And a new subscriber. 😊😊
Thanks so much! Welcome to the family! 🤗
I'm a fan of you now
Genius
Great reaction...you should go back to where it all started on Norways got talent age 7with her performances Gloomy Sunday Summertime and Bang Bang you shot me down...amazing 💚
Subscribed hoping you'll have more A.J's reactions in the near future.
Great reaction. Wish you had played the whole thing. Will continue watching your channel.
You have a nice voice ...AJ love 💕💕
Nice that you have found Angelina Jordan you'll see your subscribers jump, her fans are crazy for her music and covers so the more you react to her content the more subs you'll get. Besides that English isn't her first language even though she can now speak it pretty good. She's Norwegian but learned most of her English from jazz music from the age of 1 1/2 years old. I believe she knows about 4 different languages at this point. Anyway welcome to the 🐇🕳
patricia She has been speaking fluent English without accent since she's 7. In Norway, English teaching begins in grade 1.

Angelina almost always borrows something of the original singer's style when she covers a song. What you heard here is her Adele voice. She has at least a dozen others, including, most notably, Amy Winehouse (to whom she is endlessly compared). That thing she did every time she sang "like" (except the first time, where she just used vocal fry) and "by" is something I think she only does when she's covering Adele. And can we talk about that run? It was unlike any run I've ever heard her do (I'm mostly talking about how she reduces the variation more and more as it goes on, until it kind of "collapses in on itself" - very unusual). As a vocal coach, I think you'll find Angelina Jordan's stuff to be an absolute goldmine for discussing vocal techniques, style, confidence, etc. And don't be afraid to go back to her earliest stuff in the public eye, at 7, 8, and 9. You might wonder how much technique and style you can get from a singer that young. Oh, you have *no* idea… [grin]
Beautiful reaction, would you do a old school reaction to Elvis the king of rock and roll. One night with you from his 68 comeback special or if you want to see Elvis really get down watch suspicious minds or Polk salad Annie from his 1970 performance in Vegas live. I promise you will love it but be careful he will steal your heart 😎
Glad you discovered Angelina she's really a prodigy, you'll have a blast with her songs and us watching you discover her :)
You'll get plenty of suggestions of other songs I'm sure, but in my opinion the next one you should cover is her version of "I put a spell on you", it's the Screaming Jay Hawkins original she covered at 9 and the arrangements are her own. As there are 2 versions here is the link to the best one : ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
Other great choices are all her Norway got talent performances, her AGT Champions covers of Bohemian rhapsody and yellow brick road, and her covers of I'd rather go blind, Feeling good (this one ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html is the best) and to be honest any of the covers from her cover channel are great.
And of course there are her 5 original songs Oslo, What is life, Shield, Million miles and 7 heaven.
Have fun :D
Nice reaction.You are on for quiet a "few" surprises.Start by the beginning..age 7 "Gloomy sunday".
Listen to Rusty. :)
Thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan. Here are a few more artists you will love to react to; Dimash Kudaibergen, start with «SOS » (it’s in French, if you would rather have an English song, try « Across Endless Dimensions), Lara Fabian, « Je suis malade » (put in English subtitles), Diana Ankudinova « Wicked ». All amazing!
to be honest I
Hi Elisha Ann,
if you want to discover more of such "WHOAH!!!" moments react to more Angelina videos! ;-)))
Even if you got alrady over 190 comments with a lot of information let me send my "standard firsties comment" too - may be you will find some new information in it ;)))
So here it is - a wee bit personalized:
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice, lively and professional 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 ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...
She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).

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 EDM 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

...and for those, who like to hear it with the audio from the rehearsal without the noise from the audience at the performance a version edited from pa1189j : ua-cam.com/video/O6Jw-ETH1mA/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 (AJ videos in chronological order ua-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ...
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
...oh - and btw.: Nice title photo on your channel :))
Thank you 😀
Please react to her song 7 heaven
She does Jazz standards and stands right next to Ella, Billie, Nina, Amy, Etta and Adele. So not exaggerating.
Sweetheart you are experiencing greatness, this is Angelina jordan the Princess of Jazz, the Barefoot Princess of Jazz, welcome to the rabbit hole, it's the most fun you'll have in the long long time 😊 😄 ❤
