Enjoy! She is an amazing loving and caring person with a 1000 voices. She can sing whatever you ask her to sing and most likely make the song even better. Love this girl. Ann from Norway
Gracias!!! Gracias!!! Gracias por escucharla!! Angelina es para mí la mejor artista de esta época, por favor escucha mucho más de ella!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!🤗🧉🇦🇷
Angelina Jordan is 9 years old in this video. This is her own arrangement from the 1956 original by "Screaming" Jay Hawkins, whose photo was on the candle at the beginning of the video. She is always careful to pay respect to the artists she covers. This was AFTER she auditioned for and won Norway's Got Talent at age 7/8. She was invited to participate in America's Got Talent Champions, which she did at age 13 with her own original arrangement for the parameters of the competition. That one blows a person's socks off in a different way. This girl has musical genius combined with dedication and artistic vision. She is not afraid to explore genres. I hope you'll look into her artistry further. Grandma Ellen, out.
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She has a new single coming out this month and a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Your reaction reminds me of my first time hearing Angelina. As you must be aware this performance at almost 10 years old means she has been performing very well for years already. Even her performances years before this are incredible... In my opinion ..
You can also see videos of Angelina singing: "Feeling Good" "I'd Raither Go Blind" "It's a Man's World" "Suspicious Mind" "A Natural Woman" " Billie Jean " "I Will Survive" " I'm Still Holding Out For You" " Autumn Leaves " **** " Something's Got a Hold On Me" " Ain't No Sunshine " "What a Difference a Day Makes" "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
Hi there - new sub for Angelina - i was fortuaned to attend her last concert 2022 in Norway and man this was a lifetime experiance 💥💯💥 Angelina is great in all her Videos but she kind of explodes on stage.... music is breething for she stage is her playground and beeing with us is her fun time - everybody was involved and apreciated by her - just wished i could have get a Autogramme in my "Mellom to Hjerter" book of hers - cheers from a 59 year old fanboy from Germany
She was channeling Screamin' Jay Hawkins' performance, and she honored him by showing us his image at the beginning (1:39). She has a passion for old music, and the people who made it. That started when she was captivated by jazz as a 2 year old. We're so fortunate to have young people coming along like her.
A great friend you have there! And by now the Angels have given you your Angelina 101 course 😊 I look forward to more reactions and have subscribed! Since you are a metalhead, I'd love to see you react to Poppy's music and videos. "X" is a good start, it was her earliest experimemt, taking her "cult" with her on a journey from alt pop to heavy metal and industrial. I Disagree was her first full album with the genre. In full it's a great album to react to🙏🏼 especially with six amazing videos to go with it.
In this particular video, Angelina was 9 years old. When she was 7, she auditioned for Norways Got Talent, sang 4 short jazz songs and ended up winning the show. Thks for the reaction.
AJ was 9yr 2m in this performance. The video was released later. By age 10, she was even better! Check out her televised live stage performance of "Feeling Good" on The Screen Gir Tilbake. Nina Simone used to be my favourite version of that song - until, that is, I heard Angelina perform it at age ten.
Jimmy, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Btw, she was 9 years old when she did this. The fact that you were confused is very, very normal for anyone when they first listen to Angelina, particularly to this song. You will be receiving all kinds of data (playlists and bio's) about her from her fan base (her 'angels') and I can tell you're anxious to join all of us from around the world on her journey. This never to be forgotten classic video is very unique to say the least and when you begin listening to more of Angelina you will discover she does it all and your reaction to her will change from shock to something very, very different. I'll let you experience what I mean. Anyway, great reaction Jimmy. Get ready for a bunch of Angelina 'angels' to jump onto your channel. Part of the joy we have besides listening to her sing 'for us' is to watch new people like you discover her. We are so happy for you. She's now 17 and I know you don't much about her yet but within one year from today's date, April 20, 2023, it is possible every person in the world will know who Angelina Jordan is. Jimmy, btw, she has no boundaries: Gender, age, color, language, religion, occupation, musical preference, it doesn't make any difference. Anyone who listens to her gets drawn into her world. You got a taste of it but, how does the expression go, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" 🙂
Hello Jimmy, Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina. It's definitely an emotional journey. Her catalog of covers is more than impressive despite her young age, not to mention a few originals. Among the "must-have", I recommend her performance at "AGT the Champion" with an incredible rendition of "Bohemian Rapsody" at 13 y.o. or an even more recent performance with her cover of "Suspicious Minds" at 16 y.o. These are just a few examples, because there are so many videos to watch ... Greetings from France and sorry for my bad english, Gilles🖐️ I'm also a Big fan of The Warning power trio ⚡🖐️
Wherever you are in the world, whatever language you speak, regardless of your age or sex or color or creed, Angelina is winning us all over. Her base is certainly of the elder persuasion but has demonstrated a versatility that draws us all in. Enjoy your ride.
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (here 9 and now 17) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 70 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
She is 9 here. What allowed me to watch Angelina every day for 8 years, the only artist that I have ever been able to do this is that you never know what you will get. As she has grown she has learned complete control of the texture tone and dynamics of her voice by singing all the great artists and learning from them. So wether it's singing dirty gritty blues like her Etta James cover on the blue sofa age 13 ID RATHER GO BLIND. Smooth Jazz like last years FUNNY VALENTINE. Any Adele or cover or her Amy Winehouse VALERIE, Duffy cover MERCY used on the opening credit for The Hating Game. Any genre try IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU age 10.
Angelina was 9 when she recorded this , the arrangement is hers as well . She won Noways got talent at age 8 .she has been signed with Republic records for 2 years , with her first studio lp since signing due out this year . 🎉 welcome to the rabbit hole that is Anelina Jordan
Thank you for discovering Angelina Jordan. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on UA-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below, (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. (k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying. (l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella! Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
I owe this discovery to my best friend Groovy. I have made friends all across this globe with UA-cam, it's amazing. She is a major talent and it appears that she also has an amazing fanbase behind her. You can trust that my reactions will be real, and my respect as well. Cheers!
@@jimmysrandom Although you may have too many posts for proper replies,, I just wanted to let you know that among the many in the fandom of Angelina Albert Tenfoot does stand out as the seniormost and kindest commenter of us all...
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 (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. 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. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

That's a 9 year old Jimmy, barely 9 years old. Loved Groovy's reaction as well. This is Jazz/blues at it's very best. Want to grow your channel?? You have come upon the greatest vocalists in many many decades...she sings almost all genres of music, though Jazz is in her DNA and anything she sings is spectacular. Hope to see more Angelina from you and Groovy as well. 🤩🤩
Hey Jimmy, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 9 on this song, she arranged it herself from the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the movie Porky and Bess You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me , They get as addicted to her voice as any other fans (Angels) do, she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and moreover many Transport emotions and she has not only written around 180 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have subscribed to you now , greetings from Germany, by the way, she is now 17 years old.
That was a 9 year old in beastmode ❤️ The first time I heard this... i was thinking... how does she know this song.... and how does she have this soulful voice.... and where does this power come from.... she must be singing from the womb 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 180 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 17 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and 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 17, she is a seasoned performer with 11 years of recording and performing. She is at her best in front of a live band and an audience. 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, Norah Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. She signed with Republic Records when she was 14 and has been working on new original music while she completes high school which will be this year. She has announced that her first commercially released album with Republic will drop this fall at which time RR will begin their full scale promotion of Angelina as an artist. I expect her career to take off like a rocket as soon as she is introduced commercially to the world. Here is a sampling of my top favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ages. 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.

Angelina was just a little past 9 years old when she made this incredible recording. By then she had already won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. Today she is 17 and signed with Republic records as their highest priority new artist, with a highly anticipated new album due out this year. I first heard her sing on January 6th, 2020. It was her now legendary performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent, The Champions, and I have literally listened to her every day since then. She has dozens of recordings and live performances out there that will blow you away. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
Great reaction. This is one of my all time favorites, I think for the band as well. I will frequently come back to the early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, are Angelina at her youngest. They are, each and every one, absolutely stunning, and set the stage for anyone to lose themselves down this beautiful rabbit hole. I know it's not your usual genre, but you will love every minute you spend with this young lady who loves life and loves singing and emoting that love in her voice. She is a treasure you won't regret, and yes, all her fans feel this way. ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Hi Jimmy 👋. Wonderful reaction to 9 Angie when filmed. I give ive new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 17 on 1-10-23. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Hearts” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Angie has always been the driving force behind her dreams) (Why does Angie performs barefoot. Please watch. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html) Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices” & the "Queen of jazz". Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combinded with narrative music, another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Her musicality & music intelligence have always been of the charts, (Prodigy)of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too.

Just a freaking, insanely, scary talented 9 yo litle girl. Welcome to Angelinas world. You may find bad recordings and songs you dont like but you will never find a bad performance from Angelina.
You are absolutely correct. After following this young lady for nearly 7 years, there are one or two songs that I'm not real fond of, but that is because of the song itself, not Angelina's singing.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
*YOUR REACTION WAS PRICELESS, & MADE ME FEEL THE SAME WAY I DID THE 1ST TIME I HEARD THIS* I am so jealous, that you are just discovering the wonder, that is Angelina Jordan!!! You are truly in for the ride of your life 😊 I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or what genre she fits in, & I have accepted, she does not fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in league all of her own.....❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, from her soul to ours, through her music, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A BLESSING*** ❤ 💚 💜 Really enjoyed your reaction!!!
Omg, first time hearing Angelina? Wow you have a lot to do if you follow everthing Angelina has done ❤ She is AMAZING ❤ She sing the FIFA song. One favorite is "allsang pa gransen in Norway when she sing I am nothing"
Angelina's fanbase grows everyday. She has many good music videos including some originals. Reactions to her videos attract the angels likes moths to a flame.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from 9 years old Angelina, who actually arranges this rendition herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s, she is the boss and commanding this masterpiece,Angelina won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 7-8 years old and on America Got Talent Champions at the age of 13 years old with her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody which has 100 million views on social media platforms,Angelina received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, after Angelina’s performance of the song she received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating Angelina on a amazing arrangement of their song, and the guy’s from Queen gave Angelina the copyright to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, Angelina at present is 17 years old she is a musical prodigy and can sing any genre,Angelina has a huge army of fans and her fans our known as Angels , Angelina is known as the barefoot princess with a thousand different styles and voices, Angelina beautiful soulful Jazzy pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul and is hypnotic, she has around 180 covers and some originals too, Angelina signed with Republic Records at the age of 14 years old and her Uncle is her manager, Angelina greatest influence is her grandmother who introduced Angelina to the old classics and Jazz, she has Jazz flowing through her veins, she is a amazingly talented and special and can speak up to 4 languages fluently and plays the flute violin guitar and piano, Angelina is currently residing in LA but this previous summer returned to Norway 🇳🇴 for live concerts which I was fortunate enough to attend, her stage presence was phenomenal her live vocals outstanding, welcome to the musical genius Angelina Jordan Astar , great reaction thanks 🙏
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
@@jimmysrandom She was actually 9 years and 2 months when this was recorded. This means she was probably working on the arrangement while still 8 yo. She has arranged almost all of her performances since she was 7 yo. Her vocal artistry has jumped forward every year since she was 3-4. Today at 17 she is world class vocally, and among the absolute best female vocal artists alive today if not the best!
Nope, not 11. 9 years old here. Angelina already won Norway's Got Talent aged 7. Suggest you track fwd from there to see her artistic development thus far. She is an incredible and unique artist who has done some seriously wonderful covers and is also composing her own pieces. A career to watch! 😄
Thnx for the reaction to Angelina. She is sooo talented! Her cover of I'd Rather go Blind is really good too. I noticed in ur description it said southern metalhead. If u haven't ever listened to The Hu band, check them out for sure. They're a Mongolian folk metal band. They even did a Metallica cover, Sad But True, and it's awesome! Their music videos alone are like a movie! Lol! 🖒😎
Awesome reaction and start recommending viewers to her Platforms and putting the links in the description and watch your Subscribers increase immensely. She sings every genre even though Jazz is her main wheel house and does all her own arrangements since age 7. Enjoy the ride, she has over 300 videos to react to from age 1-1/2 to 17. Yes 1-1/2 is her 1st video with microphone singing and has written/composed 5 songs and recorded 4 others before anyone else. She has a 6th song, she wrote and composed coming out in about a week from Republic Records, her Debut to Mainstream. Enjoy the unforgettable journey that will change your life, God Bless!
Like your friend,speechless and wow are common first time reactions. He has given you an invite into the rabbit hole that will take you into Angelina’s world. If you choose to jump in, you’ll be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride, the likes of which you could not ever imagine possible. We, her fans, known as Angels, love and respect her. We are also under her loving spell and listen to her daily. She was barely 9 when she arranged and recorded this live. The note she was writing at the beginning were last minute changes she wanted and referred to as a wish list. Yes she is 17, as of January 10th. It does really matter what order you listen to her music. She has be unbelievable since her audition on Norways Got Talent at age 7. There are recordings of her at earlier years and the talent is there. What’s really amazing is how honed her skills from 5 to 6 and 6 to 7. She is self taught and chooses her own music does her own arranges. It is quite enjoyable to watch the reactions of many of the musicians and the conductors that play with/for her. I hope to see more reactions to her from you soon.
she has something like 150 covers and originals on several platforms. I have seen a lot of her, never was disappointed, more like always jaw droppingly astounded. She has a way of taking great songs and making them better. check out her singing im still holding out for you, she was 10 in that one.
New subscriber (as I also am for Groovy) - thanks to your nice reaction to & appreciation of this masterful performance by Angelina (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Even at this young age, the band members affectionately referred to her as "The Boss". You're correct that she is now 17. She has a very impressive range of well over 180 cover songs as well as some of her own originals. While you can't go wrong with any of them - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend her Norway Got Talent audition singing Gloomy Sunday - at age 7. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
A big hug my friend Jimmy!!...No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
This was her own arrangement. Here is a link to a video of Angelina and her band rehearsing another Screamin’ Jay Hawkins song “Portrait of a Man”. She changed it to “Portrait of a Child”. ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html The musicians lovingly call her The Boss.
Angelina has always created her own arrangements while she taught herself to sing. She did receive musical training starting at age 4 but her teachers knew not to interfere with her vocals. Here is a link to a playlist of 190 songs Angelina has on UA-cam and not a bad one amongst them. ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Angelina was actually 9 when this was recorded. The year before, she won Norway's Got Talent. Great reaction, Jimmy! You might like her cover of It's A Man's World, the James Brown classic. Here's a link to a live performance: ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html
@@jimmysrandom she was on Americans got talent Champions because she won Norway got talent at 7 yrs .anyway she does her own versions on queen bohemian rhapsody and Elton John's yellow brickroad both songs are about 2 mins each but they're completely rearranged.
I'm on board subscribing to enjoy your journey through the incredible Angelina Jordan vocal talents. You'll find that no matter what you listen to of hers, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
Hi Jimmy, allow me sending you my "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - maybe you can find some for you interesting information in it ;-) So, here is my SFC: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's 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! Maybe 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... ;-) A little explanation: 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!) based on 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 - if you watch this too and may be after this watch Angelinas cover again you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :))) The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;) At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-) Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;) ...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :)) Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo! She is born January 10th 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 independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ). Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… ;-) First of all, here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ua-cam.com/channels/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA.html Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg.html Angelina Jordan VEVO Channel - ua-cam.com/channels/D9xBPlntT45VN6dY1LNhng.html Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ (on this web site you can find also her accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) her TikTok-channel: www.tiktok.com/@angelinajordana and the site of Republic Records with her introduction: www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): ua-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/v-deo.html (One of?)

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

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 😎
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻 Why Angelina always performs barefoot♥👣 For those who do not know. At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina says she still 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.

- Who is Angelina Jordan - Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 5 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear. At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more. Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood. That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old. Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney. At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. She turned 17 on January 10, 2023, and will graduate from high school after the spring semester. From then on, she will embark on her full-time professional career. She's been working closely with Republic on her first album under their label. It's likely that it will drop shortly after her graduation.
Thanks to both of you folks for reacting to our favorite singer, arraigner, and writer. I betting you'll enjoy Angelinas' Queen covers. She was 9 years 2 months old for this one and 13 when she did The Show Must Go On in her home to a sound track. Then she went on Americas Got Talent the Champions age 13 and sang Bohemian Rhapsody. Age 17 now Thank you from Alaska
Congrats on venturing into new territory👍🏻👏🏻. If your wheelhouse is country, she's covered Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson, a few Elvis tunes... And almost everything in between 😉🤔😀. Enjoyed your reaction... That furrowed brow and slight blush spoke volumes!! You're a brave "adventurer" to take this step...I venture to say when you see the fan base this young Lady has...well, you'll be inspired to do more than just dip your toe into the water...you might want to DIVE IN🥇😂 Hope to see you on the flipside, good Sir! PEACE! 🎶🎙️🎼🎹🎤🎧🔥🔥🌟🎶🎶
Many thanks to your fellow reactor Groovy for suggesting you react to Angelina Jordan. Many metalheads are now Angelina angels. Angelina calls her fans her angels. Her family signed her with Republic Records (Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, etc.) at age 14 but requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible so they have yet to promote her BUT that is about to change. Angelina has a new original song coming by the end of April and an album of all originals later this year. Her career is about to supernova!!!!!
@@andyschnell58 yeah, i know and i have seen other reactors use it and i cringe every time because what it actually means. In retrospect using modern vernacular a star blowing up is a good thing lol.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created this arrangement of the 1956 classic by Screamin Jay Hawkins and then took control of the studio and the musicians to deliver a powerful, emotional performance. We don't know why this video was uploaded about a year after it was recorded. The only thing that exceeds Angelina's musical talents are her humility and empathy. Please read her bio. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore and Mexico among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
@@jimmysrandom Thank you for reading the lengthy bio I compiled for my favorite musical artist. After 3 years, I am still learning. I look forward to your future reactions.

Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.

Jimmy, If you have any country blood in you, I think you might enjoy Angelina singing Patsy Cline, Crazy. She is 11 on this one, and my favorite is the one with the blurry picture of her on the thumbnail list with the guitar solo. Best rendition I've ever heard. And it's live from a concert.
You might want to pull up her premiere on Norway's Got Talent with English subtitles. And compare her performance in Kork Norway with a complete Orchestra singing her reworked cover of Summertime.
Just subscribed for our beautiful barefoot Princess, Angelina. Doesn't matter what you listen to before, just add a touch of Angelina daily! May not keep the doctor away, but it may.
- The Barefoot Princess - (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.) Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
You are right that this is not a 10-11-year-old girl singing. It is a 9-year-old girl singing! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer. Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals. Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 190 videos including tiktok and Instagram. Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Gracias!!! Gracias!!! Gracias por escucharla!! Angelina es para mí la mejor artista de esta época, por favor escucha mucho más de ella!!!
Saludos desde Argentina!!!🤗🧉🇦🇷
Angelina Jordan is 9 years old in this video. This is her own arrangement from the 1956 original by "Screaming" Jay Hawkins, whose photo was on the candle at the beginning of the video. She is always careful to pay respect to the artists she covers. This was AFTER she auditioned for and won Norway's Got Talent at age 7/8. She was invited to participate in America's Got Talent Champions, which she did at age 13 with her own original arrangement for the parameters of the competition. That one blows a person's socks off in a different way. This girl has musical genius combined with dedication and artistic vision. She is not afraid to explore genres. I hope you'll look into her artistry further. Grandma Ellen, out.
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She has a new single coming out this month and a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Wow! Thank you for all of that information! Cheers!
Your reaction reminds me of my first time hearing Angelina. As you must be aware this performance at almost 10 years old means she has been performing very well for years already. Even her performances years before this are incredible... In my opinion ..
You can also see videos of Angelina singing:
"Feeling Good"
"I'd Raither Go Blind"
"It's a Man's World"
"Suspicious Mind"
"A Natural Woman"
" Billie Jean "
"I Will Survive"
" I'm Still Holding Out For You"
" Autumn Leaves " ****
" Something's Got a Hold On Me"
" Ain't No Sunshine "
"What a Difference a Day Makes"
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
People who spread Angelina's music are always appreciated 👍
Have a nice day!
Hi there - new sub for Angelina - i was fortuaned to attend her last concert 2022 in Norway and man this was a lifetime experiance 💥💯💥 Angelina is great in all her Videos but she kind of explodes on stage.... music is breething for she stage is her playground and beeing with us is her fun time - everybody was involved and apreciated by her - just wished i could have get a Autogramme in my "Mellom to Hjerter" book of hers - cheers from a 59 year old fanboy from Germany
She was channeling Screamin' Jay Hawkins' performance, and she honored him by showing us his image at the beginning (1:39). She has a passion for old music, and the people who made it. That started when she was captivated by jazz as a 2 year old. We're so fortunate to have young people coming along like her.
A great friend you have there! And by now the Angels have given you your Angelina 101 course 😊 I look forward to more reactions and have subscribed!
Since you are a metalhead, I'd love to see you react to Poppy's music and videos. "X" is a good start, it was her earliest experimemt, taking her "cult" with her on a journey from alt pop to heavy metal and industrial. I Disagree was her first full album with the genre. In full it's a great album to react to🙏🏼 especially with six amazing videos to go with it.
In this particular video, Angelina was 9 years old. When she was 7, she auditioned for Norways Got Talent, sang 4 short jazz songs and ended up winning the show. Thks for the reaction.
9! Holy cow!
Speechless is normal with this one! You will love hearing more!
Welcome to the world of Angelina the princess of jazz music who does not wear shoes during her performance and for a very good reason... Enjoy...
AJ was 9yr 2m in this performance. The video was released later. By age 10, she was even better! Check out her televised live stage performance of "Feeling Good" on The Screen Gir Tilbake. Nina Simone used to be my favourite version of that song - until, that is, I heard Angelina perform it at age ten.
Jimmy, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Btw, she was 9 years old when she did this. The fact that you were confused is very, very normal for anyone when they first listen to Angelina, particularly to this song. You will be receiving all kinds of data (playlists and bio's) about her from her fan base (her 'angels') and I can tell you're anxious to join all of us from around the world on her journey. This never to be forgotten classic video is very unique to say the least and when you begin listening to more of Angelina you will discover she does it all and your reaction to her will change from shock to something very, very different. I'll let you experience what I mean. Anyway, great reaction Jimmy. Get ready for a bunch of Angelina 'angels' to jump onto your channel. Part of the joy we have besides listening to her sing 'for us' is to watch new people like you discover her. We are so happy for you. She's now 17 and I know you don't much about her yet but within one year from today's date, April 20, 2023, it is possible every person in the world will know who Angelina Jordan is. Jimmy, btw, she has no boundaries: Gender, age, color, language, religion, occupation, musical preference, it doesn't make any difference. Anyone who listens to her gets drawn into her world. You got a taste of it but, how does the expression go, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" 🙂
I wasn't ready for the tone, amazing talent. At 9 to boot. Can't wait to hear more.
Hello Jimmy, Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina. It's definitely an emotional journey. Her catalog of covers is more than impressive despite her young age, not to mention a few originals. Among the "must-have", I recommend her performance at "AGT the Champion" with an incredible rendition of "Bohemian Rapsody" at 13 y.o. or an even more recent performance with her cover of "Suspicious Minds" at 16 y.o. These are just a few examples, because there are so many videos to watch ... Greetings from France and sorry for my bad english, Gilles🖐️
I'm also a Big fan of The Warning power trio ⚡🖐️
Wherever you are in the world, whatever language you speak, regardless of your age or sex or color or creed, Angelina is winning us all over. Her base is certainly of the elder persuasion but has demonstrated a versatility that draws us all in. Enjoy your ride.
Indeed, this new world that I have discovered lately is truly amazing.
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (here 9 and now 17) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 70 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
She is 9 here. What allowed me to watch Angelina every day for 8 years, the only artist that I have ever been able to do this is that you never know what you will get. As she has grown she has learned complete control of the texture tone and dynamics of her voice by singing all the great artists and learning from them. So wether it's singing dirty gritty blues like her Etta James cover on the blue sofa age 13 ID RATHER GO BLIND. Smooth Jazz like last years FUNNY VALENTINE. Any Adele or cover or her Amy Winehouse VALERIE, Duffy cover MERCY used on the opening credit for The Hating Game. Any genre try IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU age 10.
Thank you and I can't wait to dive in!
Angelina was 9 when she recorded this , the arrangement is hers as well . She won Noways got talent at age 8 .she has been signed with Republic records for 2 years , with her first studio lp since signing due out this year . 🎉 welcome to the rabbit hole that is Anelina Jordan
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you for discovering Angelina Jordan. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on UA-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below,
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted.
(g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song.
(h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time.
(i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word
(j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
(k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying.
(l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella!
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
I owe this discovery to my best friend Groovy. I have made friends all across this globe with UA-cam, it's amazing. She is a major talent and it appears that she also has an amazing fanbase behind her. You can trust that my reactions will be real, and my respect as well. Cheers!
@@jimmysrandom Although you may have too many posts for proper replies,, I just wanted to let you know that among the many in the fandom of Angelina Albert Tenfoot does stand out as the seniormost and kindest commenter of us all...
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 (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
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.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

My word groovy is quick to spread the word after just one reaction very generous .welcome to ANGELINAS world .
Yes he is, he really loved it!
That's a 9 year old Jimmy, barely 9 years old. Loved Groovy's reaction as well. This is Jazz/blues at it's very best. Want to grow your channel?? You have come upon the greatest vocalists in many many decades...she sings almost all genres of music, though Jazz is in her DNA and anything she sings is spectacular. Hope to see more Angelina from you and Groovy as well. 🤩🤩
So glad he recommended it to me!
This Angelina child is a very special child. Born singing!
Incredible!
Hey Jimmy, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 9 on this song, she arranged it herself from the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the movie Porky and Bess You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me , They get as addicted to her voice as any other fans (Angels) do, she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and moreover many Transport emotions and she has not only written around 180 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have subscribed to you now , greetings from Germany, by the way, she is now 17 years old.
That was a 9 year old in beastmode ❤️ The first time I heard this... i was thinking... how does she know this song.... and how does she have this soulful voice.... and where does this power come from.... she must be singing from the womb 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed!
FROM HER GRANDMOTHER WHO IS HER TEACHER AND MENTOR
@@karenking5357 Thats true 👍
Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 180 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 17 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and 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 17, she is a seasoned performer with 11 years of recording and performing. She is at her best in front of a live band and an audience. 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, Norah Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more.
She signed with Republic Records when she was 14 and has been working on new original music while she completes high school which will be this year. She has announced that her first commercially released album with Republic will drop this fall at which time RR will begin their full scale promotion of Angelina as an artist. I expect her career to take off like a rocket as soon as she is introduced commercially to the world.
Here is a sampling of my top favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ages. 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.

Wow! Thank you for putting all of that together! I can't to dive in further this weekend!
Angelina was just a little past 9 years old when she made this incredible recording. By then she had already won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. Today she is 17 and signed with Republic records as their highest priority new artist, with a highly anticipated new album due out this year. I first heard her sing on January 6th, 2020. It was her now legendary performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent, The Champions, and I have literally listened to her every day since then. She has dozens of recordings and live performances out there that will blow you away. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
Can't wait to hear more!
Great reaction. This is one of my all time favorites, I think for the band as well. I will frequently come back to the early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, are Angelina at her youngest. They are, each and every one, absolutely stunning, and set the stage for anyone to lose themselves down this beautiful rabbit hole.
I know it's not your usual genre, but you will love every minute you spend with this young lady who loves life and loves singing and emoting that love in her voice. She is a treasure you won't regret, and yes, all her fans feel this way.

Thank you!
Awesome reaction Jimmy and many thanks to Groovy for suggesting it. Looking forward to more Angelina, enjoy your journey.
He was very excited to tell me about it.
Hi Jimmy 👋. Wonderful reaction to 9 Angie when filmed. I give ive new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 17 on 1-10-23. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Hearts” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Angie has always been the driving force behind her dreams)
(Why does Angie performs barefoot. Please watch. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html) Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices” & the "Queen of jazz". Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combinded with narrative music, another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Her musicality & music intelligence have always been of the charts, (Prodigy)of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too.

9, that is incredible!
gracias por reaccionar a la princesa descalza.,ella es simplemente increíble y no va a dejar de sorprenderte 🤗
¿¡La princesa descalza!? ¡Me gusta eso!
You are on the right path Jimmy, keep going you will be blown away each time you will be listening to her. I am a new subscriber for Angelina.
Just a freaking, insanely, scary talented 9 yo litle girl. Welcome to Angelinas world.
You may find bad recordings and songs you dont like but you will never find a bad performance from Angelina.
Amazing!
You are absolutely correct. After following this young lady for nearly 7 years, there are one or two songs that I'm not real fond of, but that is because of the song itself, not Angelina's singing.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
*YOUR REACTION WAS PRICELESS, & MADE ME FEEL THE SAME WAY I DID THE 1ST TIME I HEARD THIS* I am so jealous, that you are just discovering the wonder, that is Angelina Jordan!!! You are truly in for the ride of your life 😊 I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or what genre she fits in, & I have accepted, she does not fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in league all of her own.....❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, from her soul to ours, through her music, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A BLESSING*** ❤ 💚 💜 Really enjoyed your reaction!!!
Thank you very much! Being late to the party has it's advantages. Cheers!
Great reaction thank you wild bill
Thank you!
Omg, first time hearing Angelina? Wow you have a lot to do if you follow everthing Angelina has done ❤ She is AMAZING ❤ She sing the FIFA song. One favorite is "allsang pa gransen in Norway when she sing I am nothing"
I am very late to the party, but that just means I have a lot of great stuff to look forwards to. Cheers!
Angelina's fanbase grows everyday. She has many good music videos including some originals. Reactions to her videos attract the angels likes moths to a flame.
Thank you!
A great way to describe our behavior on youtube, David! 🙌🏽 🔥 She is certainly a light in all of our lives!
Shock and awe! The expected response to this out-of-this-world performance. I watched it countless times and still feel the awe every time ❣️
When she hit those growls....man!
Angelina tends to appeal to fans of all genres of music. She puts her own fresh spin on songs; jazz/soul is her specialty.
she appeals to all ages as well which is revolutionary.
In general, I'm a hard rock fan, but I love any genre that makes me feel something. This most certainly did.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from 9 years old Angelina, who actually arranges this rendition herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s, she is the boss and commanding this masterpiece,Angelina won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 7-8 years old and on America Got Talent Champions at the age of 13 years old with her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody which has 100 million views on social media platforms,Angelina received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final of the show, after Angelina’s performance of the song she received a tribute message from the band Queen congratulating Angelina on a amazing arrangement of their song, and the guy’s from Queen gave Angelina the copyright to her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, Angelina at present is 17 years old she is a musical prodigy and can sing any genre,Angelina has a huge army of fans and her fans our known as Angels , Angelina is known as the barefoot princess with a thousand different styles and voices, Angelina beautiful soulful Jazzy pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul and is hypnotic, she has around 180 covers and some originals too, Angelina signed with Republic Records at the age of 14 years old and her Uncle is her manager, Angelina greatest influence is her grandmother who introduced Angelina to the old classics and Jazz, she has Jazz flowing through her veins, she is a amazingly talented and special and can speak up to 4 languages fluently and plays the flute violin guitar and piano, Angelina is currently residing in LA but this previous summer returned to Norway 🇳🇴 for live concerts which I was fortunate enough to attend, her stage presence was phenomenal her live vocals outstanding, welcome to the musical genius Angelina Jordan Astar , great reaction thanks 🙏
Incredible performance! My pleasure!
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Incredible tone for such a young girl, especially 9!
@@jimmysrandom She was actually 9 years and 2 months when this was recorded.
This means she was probably working on the arrangement while still 8 yo. She has arranged almost all of her performances since she was 7 yo. Her vocal artistry has jumped forward every year since she was 3-4. Today at 17 she is world class vocally, and among the absolute best female vocal artists alive today if not the best!
@@rmcc42 Absolutely incredible!
"I call it magic when I'm with you." - Loving & Kind Author [ Miss. Angelina "Magical Jazz Vocalist" Jordan ] Unknown "Thank - U | Mr. Jimmy R. C."
Nope, not 11. 9 years old here. Angelina already won Norway's Got Talent aged 7. Suggest you track fwd from there to see her artistic development thus far. She is an incredible and unique artist who has done some seriously wonderful covers and is also composing her own pieces. A career to watch! 😄
ANGEILINA JORDON WAS 9 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE SANG I PUT A SPELLON TI NOW SHE IS 17 YEARS OLD
Angelina Jordan, I Who Have Nothing. First time in studio. She was 6! (Complete song)
Thank you!
Thnx for the reaction to Angelina. She is sooo talented! Her cover of I'd Rather go Blind is really good too. I noticed in ur description it said southern metalhead. If u haven't ever listened to The Hu band, check them out for sure. They're a Mongolian folk metal band. They even did a Metallica cover, Sad But True, and it's awesome! Their music videos alone are like a movie! Lol! 🖒😎
I love the HU, if I can find something of theirs I haven't heard before I will react to it.
Ha! I just watched them before this reaction! They were fun to watch! Go Angelina !!!!
Great folks! Been my best friend for about 5 years now. Cheers!
Awesome reaction and start recommending viewers to her Platforms and putting the links in the description and watch your Subscribers increase immensely. She sings every genre even though Jazz is her main wheel house and does all her own arrangements since age 7. Enjoy the ride, she has over 300 videos to react to from age 1-1/2 to 17. Yes 1-1/2 is her 1st video with microphone singing and has written/composed 5 songs and recorded 4 others before anyone else. She has a 6th song, she wrote and composed coming out in about a week from Republic Records, her Debut to Mainstream. Enjoy the unforgettable journey that will change your life, God Bless!
Incredible!
Like your friend,speechless and wow are common first time reactions. He has given you an invite into the rabbit hole that will take you into Angelina’s world. If you choose to jump in, you’ll be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride, the likes of which you could not ever imagine possible. We, her fans, known as Angels, love and respect her. We are also under her loving spell and listen to her daily. She was barely 9 when she arranged and recorded this live. The note she was writing at the beginning were last minute changes she wanted and referred to as a wish list. Yes she is 17, as of January 10th. It does really matter what order you listen to her music. She has be unbelievable since her audition on Norways Got Talent at age 7. There are recordings of her at earlier years and the talent is there. What’s really amazing is how honed her skills from 5 to 6 and 6 to 7. She is self taught and chooses her own music does her own arranges. It is quite enjoyable to watch the reactions of many of the musicians and the conductors that play with/for her. I hope to see more reactions to her from you soon.
Emotional is my favorite roller coaster!
More to come soon!
... I've waited a long time for a singer like Angelina ... and the wait has exceeded all my expectations ... ✨💎✨ Thank you
she has something like 150 covers and originals on several platforms. I have seen a lot of her, never was disappointed, more like always jaw droppingly astounded. She has a way of taking great songs and making them better. check out her singing im still holding out for you, she was 10 in that one.
My pleasure!
wow!
New subscriber (as I also am for Groovy) - thanks to your nice reaction to & appreciation of this masterful performance by Angelina (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Even at this young age, the band members affectionately referred to her as "The Boss". You're correct that she is now 17. She has a very impressive range of well over 180 cover songs as well as some of her own originals. While you can't go wrong with any of them - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend her Norway Got Talent audition singing Gloomy Sunday - at age 7. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Incredible!
A big hug my friend Jimmy!!...No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
Very impressive, I love coming across these folks that I was unaware of. Cheers!
She turned 9 two weeks before this was recorded. It was her Homage to the originator. She also wrote the arrangement.
This has a really cool old-time feel. Great arrangement, her voice is so expressive.
This was her own arrangement. Here is a link to a video of Angelina and her band rehearsing another Screamin’ Jay Hawkins song “Portrait of a Man”. She changed it to “Portrait of a Child”.
ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
The musicians lovingly call her The Boss.
Angelina has always created her own arrangements while she taught herself to sing. She did receive musical training starting at age 4 but her teachers knew not to interfere with her vocals. Here is a link to a playlist of 190 songs Angelina has on UA-cam and not a bad one amongst them. ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
Indeed! So much good music out there that I've been missing.
@@davidtouma4878 Yes, that is!!!!
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Thank you, and thanks for those suggestions!
Angelina was actually 9 when this was recorded. The year before, she won Norway's Got Talent. Great reaction, Jimmy! You might like her cover of It's A Man's World, the James Brown classic. Here's a link to a live performance: ua-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/v-deo.html
Wow! I want to hear her take that on!
Angelina is a rare true talent unlike alot of the manufacturered ones the get all the radio play and award nominations.
I enjoy any good music that stirs emotion, I like to feel. Genre doesn't really matter, I just tend to listen to a lot of metal. She is incredible.
@@jimmysrandom she was on Americans got talent Champions because she won Norway got talent at 7 yrs .anyway she does her own versions on queen bohemian rhapsody and Elton John's yellow brickroad both songs are about 2 mins each but they're completely rearranged.
Great first reaction of our Angelina Jordan.👍🏼🎼🤗
Thank you!
I'm on board subscribing to enjoy your journey through the incredible Angelina Jordan vocal talents. You'll find that no matter what you listen to of hers, you will be pleasantly surprised.
More to come, Thank you!
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
at 9! That's incredible!
Hi Jimmy,
allow me sending you my "standard firsties comment" (SFC) - maybe you can find some for you interesting information in it ;-)
So, here is my SFC:
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's 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! Maybe 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... ;-)
A little explanation:
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!) based on 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 - if you watch this too and may be after this watch Angelinas cover again you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano :)))
The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;)
At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 ;-)
Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;)
...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :))
Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on UA-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo!
She is born January 10th 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 independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).
Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… ;-)

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, ...
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

She is incredible and Groovy said she had an amazing fanbase, I see why now. Cheers!
@@jimmysrandom 😁
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru UA-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
Why Angelina always performs barefoot♥👣
For those who do not know.
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina says she still 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. 'Between Two Hearts'

- Who is Angelina Jordan -
Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 5 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear.
At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more.
Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood.
That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old.
Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney.
At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. She turned 17 on January 10, 2023, and will graduate from high school after the spring semester. From then on, she will embark on her full-time professional career. She's been working closely with Republic on her first album under their label. It's likely that it will drop shortly after her graduation.
Holy cow! Thank you!
Thanks to both of you folks for reacting to our favorite singer, arraigner, and writer. I betting you'll enjoy Angelinas' Queen covers. She was 9 years 2 months old for this one and 13 when she did The Show Must Go On in her home to a sound track. Then she went on Americas Got Talent the Champions age 13 and sang Bohemian Rhapsody. Age 17 now Thank you from Alaska
My pleasure, incredible!
Congrats on venturing into new territory👍🏻👏🏻. If your wheelhouse is country, she's covered Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson, a few Elvis tunes... And almost everything in between 😉🤔😀. Enjoyed your reaction... That furrowed brow and slight blush spoke volumes!! You're a brave "adventurer" to take this step...I venture to say when you see the fan base this young Lady has...well, you'll be inspired to do more than just dip your toe into the water...you might want to DIVE IN🥇😂 Hope to see you on the flipside, good Sir! PEACE! 🎶🎙️🎼🎹🎤🎧🔥🔥🌟🎶🎶
Nice! My wheelhouse is generally more metal or hard rock, but if it's good and moves me genre doesn't matter. She is incredible!
Welcome to the World of Angelina music. Her talent is once-in-a-lifetime. Liked & subed for your journey!
More to come. Cheers!
Many thanks to your fellow reactor Groovy for suggesting you react to Angelina Jordan. Many metalheads are now Angelina angels. Angelina calls her fans her angels. Her family signed her with Republic Records (Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, etc.) at age 14 but requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible so they have yet to promote her BUT that is about to change. Angelina has a new original song coming by the end of April and an album of all originals later this year. Her career is about to supernova!!!!!
you DO realize that a supernova is a star that just died, right? As euphemisms go you could do better lol.
@@marketsquareus Thanks for that information. I used that term since it was part of a lyric in a recent song Angelina sang, "We are the Best".
@@marketsquareus Wow, Donny Downer, metaphor.
@@andyschnell58 yeah, i know and i have seen other reactors use it and i cringe every time because what it actually means. In retrospect using modern vernacular a star blowing up is a good thing lol.
@@marketsquareus I will help guide others to use a different adjective in the future. Thanks again.
Your friend pointed you in the right direction. We love our Angelina and I listen to many different reactors when it involves Angelina!
Thank you, more to come!
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 performing live - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ua-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/v-deo.html
Thank you!
Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created this arrangement of the 1956 classic by Screamin Jay Hawkins and then took control of the studio and the musicians to deliver a powerful, emotional performance. We don't know why this video was uploaded about a year after it was recorded. The only thing that exceeds Angelina's musical talents are her humility and empathy. Please read her bio.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on UA-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
*Why Angelina always performs barefoot*
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are.
Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial
Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration.
Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore and Mexico among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
At age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year.
During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each.
In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on UA-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On UA-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her.
During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.
In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”
In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song.
Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022.
In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles.
On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
Holy cow! Thank you for all of that!

All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a UA-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.

Jimmy, If you have any country blood in you, I think you might enjoy Angelina singing Patsy Cline, Crazy. She is 11 on this one, and my favorite is the one with the blurry picture of her on the thumbnail list with the guitar solo. Best rendition I've ever heard. And it's live from a concert.
I am not aware of a live concert rendition around this time. Here is another link: ua-cam.com/video/juQ9FJcjSWk/v-deo.html
Crazy is a gem, can't wait!

- The Barefoot Princess -
(From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.)
Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them.
Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.”
From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
Thank you for all of that!
Amazing 🥰
You are right that this is not a 10-11-year-old girl singing. It is a 9-year-old girl singing!
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer.
Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological UA-cam performances with five originals.
Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 190 videos including tiktok and Instagram.
Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.
