This is a beautiful song. I absolutely love Angelina Jordan. She's the best new young vocal artist right now. That's out there. In the music industry❤❤❤❤❤❤
She's 14 here. The song is about the recent passing of her grandfather. Her version of "All i Ask" by Adele at 15, you might try that one next it's excellent. Love your reactions!!
She is special from the first time we get to know and listen to that great and beautiful voice of our Princess ❤..it'll stay that way..until we die..Watch all her songs...please..
You are right, it is personal - it is about her grandfather that passed away when she was 12. Thank you for another good reaction. Hope the best for you and your country... 😍
Not to be to picky but her paternal grandfather died when she was 12 and her maternal grandfather died when she was 13 which was what this song is about.
You're my inspiration, Dounia! You are sharing your warm heart with us every time you post a new reaction. Thanks so much for that. And believe that you have thousands of fans who are wishing you safety and good health for you and your family. As Angelina might say, we can see you in our hearts!
Angelina believes in her heart love never dies. In this original where she wrote the lyrics she is singing to her recently departed grandpa who she adored and even though he is a million miles away he will always remain in her consciousness and she knows he will always be watching over her. Many angels listening to this drift off into their own worlds and relate to a personal loss in their lives. Angelina's soulfulness is so genuine we totally believe what she is singing about and, Dounia, isn't it becoming obvious it doesn't matter what her age was at any of these recording moments. When she does 'covers', although we know she couldn't have experienced some of the life situations the message of the song presents, she finds the love in the message of the song and relates to that and we emotionally feel it and that's why we become speechless because our heart always take over our body and our brain takes a backseat for a while. Remarkable. And amazing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 So far she has one album, It's Magic. Two EP's , Old Enough and Driving Home For Christmas. And several singles. This doesn't even count TH-cam. Yes, this is a song written by Angelina after the death of her grandfather. This was her first release after she signed with Republic Records when she was 14. I am addicted to this wonderful young woman.
Great reaction and she has released an EP last year with 6 Originals she wrote and composed with help! The Album will literally blow your mind on how good it is. It is called "Old Enough", God Bless!
"Million Miles" is the song which allowed me to properly grieve the loss of loved ones. It was the first song I ever cried to, and I wept at first listen. Angelina sounds like she is crying while singing, yet her beautiful lyrics and melody provide HOPE. I truly believe "Million Miles" will always be among her most popular songs.
Hello Dounia, it’s always and will always be a pleasure and a delight to listen to Angelina Jordan, with that incomparable voice and her unique way of conveying a multitude of feelings and emotions. I totally agree with you, someday she will be big in the music markets, because for me, she is already great as an artist and singer. Speaking of talented singers, I want to suggest a reaction to someone different but with great musical talent, I’m talking about Mon Laferte, performing "Tu falta de querer" (live). I’m sure you’ll like it. Greetings from Mexico City.
The first time she sang this live was when she was 16 at her concerts in Norway. She slowed it down considerably. This song is so personal to her, I was amazed she could sing this and not break down crying. Since then, I have been in the audience, and heard her sing this live. Once in Portsmouth, twice at Vegas, and again in Glendale. I have become so accustomed to the slower tempo that now hearing the original, it seems rushed! At Vegas and Glendale, I was lucky enough to sit up close to the stage. At both shows, I gave her the “heart” symbol when giving the standing ovation. And both times, Angelina saw me, and returned the sign. Moments I will always treasure! I like to think that she will be looking for me after she performs it at the next concert! Dounia, I agree with you! She is the next Diva! She is not only a beautiful singer, she is a beautiful person. Her heart has so much empathy for the downtrodden. I’m sure you know why she sings barefoot. The world needs more Angelinas!
Angelina, just a 14 year old in her element writing a song about missing her Grandpa and killing it! The lyrics are most likely from her journals, she accompanied her Grandfather-Japanese-in Oslo when he went out to help the needy! He also told her to never regret what you do and the reference to the Moon is because the Moon holds a very important place in Japanese culture! This was her first song released after signing with Republic Records. Rob Christie is a Grammy winning producer and the director of studio operations at Republic Records, Angelina’s record label. He has accompanied her on piano since her signing with Republic Records. The live version is out of this world, the last belt is still reverberating in the heavens! She displays so much empathy and humility a true role model! I loved her studio and music video versions of this song! However, I like how she plays with the song and the belt was heard and is still reverberating in the heavens, just WOW! She keeps getting better and better. That lady’s and gentlemen is pure class! 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯
I don’t think Angelina will ever be a “Super Star” . Not because of her voice , heavens no. She is the most beautiful,lovely singer of our time. Angelina will never be one of those classless female singers that strut around on the stage with hardly any clothes on shaking her butt and boobs. Just like most of the females out there ( Taylor Swift) for example. They can’t hold a candle to Angelina’s talent but they use their bodies to make up for their lack of talent. Just my humble opinion. I hope one day she will be rewarded for her talent by the Grammy people (I’m not holding my breath) but all her angels love her with devotion and support. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wonderful reaction, Duonia. It is a beautiful song honoring and remembering her grandfather. Thank you. I'm pretty sure you're now one of Angelina's Angels... welcome.
She is trying to part company with Republic Records at present. Perhaps when this is sorted we will haven album. This is, in my opinion, the best version of this song, so far. A beautiful tribute to a beloved Grandfather from the pen of a 13 year old.
Thank you for your continued support for Angelina. Regarding her blue eyes, I have no definitive information but I have several congesture. Both her mother and grandmother have blue eyes. Also the little homeless girl to whom she gave her shoes when she was 6 also has blue eyes. Angelina has put out 2 albums. One when she was quite young called Magic , the other a yrs ago called old enough, all original songs.❤❤👣❤❤
Yes, belive me; I can and do listen to her music and reactions to it too all day, through work and rest.😊 She is so versatile I really don't need anyone else.. And others tend to sound the same in every song. They might be very good singers, but I get bored easily. 😊 Stay safe, Dounia! ❤
Great reaction, Dounia -- and please, take good care! You will be around to see AJ as a diva! BTW AJ composed this song at 14 in memory of her grandfather, who had recently passed away. Here, AJ performs Million Miles live, in Norway, with a small band -- and slows the tempo dramatically: th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html. Thanks, Brad
Wonderful reaction Dounia. I am commenting here because I TOTALLY agree with Brad (@ClandOp)… this ballad has become almost an anthem dedicated to those who have lost a loved one. And characteristically, Angelina has reimagined this song for her first concert AFTER the pandemic - she slowed her OWN original song WAY down and infused it with more emotion than it seems is humanly possible. You will LOVE Angelina even more if you react to this live version that Brad has linked above. It was performed in Norway during the summer of 2022 and many Ångels flew from around the world to see her live. I hope you and your baby remain safe and well. We are all thinking of you during these difficult times for you and your family. 💙🙏
Just to clarify, there is an official music video of the original studio version of this song. That’s the video that Angelina sketched out the storyboards for. It’s a different version of the song with a little more production.
Her live version in Kurbadhagen Norway in 2022 was so powerful even the band members took notice. Angelina live is dynamite. I'll be at her holiday concert in LA in December. Please be safe.
A good follow up to this version is the lyric video. She and her grandmother did the graphics for it. It’s Angelina’s concept. And Angelina drew the storyboards for the video portions. It will definitely give you a sense to the meaning of the song.
Last year she dropped a six song ep of all original songs called Old Enough. It is available on all streaming services. She also has some Cristmas albums. She has a Persian grandmother and a Norwegian father, so I am pretty sure the blue eyes are natural. Her birth last name is Astar...and so she is.
She also had a Japanese grandfather who was her grandmother Mery's husband and they are her Mother Sara Astar s parents and her grandfather is where the name Astar came from, Sara's brother is Michael Astar and he is Angelina's manager! Like her mother, Mery Zamani, she never took the last name of either of her two husbands, who were both Norwegian! Her eye color is brown, I also like her brown eyes, but both her and her mother prefer the blue eyes from contacts, and I respect their choices! Growing up in Norway maybe they have been made to feel self conscious about their eyes! Whatever the reason it's their choice! I just pray she stays humble and sweet as she rises to superstar in her career! After all, being a superstar just means you are exceptional at your chosen profession, we all are broken flawed human beings! I am praying for you and your family! Stay safe and away from known Hezbollah operations!
Angelina’s father Gerry Christian Slättman is Swedish, not Norwegian. Some claim that he is not her biological father, but I don’t think we know that for sure. Maybe speculation Angelina was born when her mother Sara was about 22. I had never heard that she was married before. I don’t really know where the Astar name comes from. Astar is not a Japanese name so it’s probably not from Angelina’s grandfather. It’s also interesting that Angelina took the name Astar and not Slattman as her sister Juliette did. There are some mysteries regarding her family. Angelina’s mother and Uncle Mike grew up in Japan and the family later moved to Norway. Mike talks about that in an interview. Angelina’s mother and grandmother wear blue contacts so she may just be following them. At the time of this video she hadn’t started wearing the contacts yet.
I agree 100% about Angelina becoming something truly special in the future and I too hope to be alive to see it. The song was written and composed by Angelina for her Grandpa that passed on. Angelina has an album, really, really it's called old enough, take care,☮️❤️
When she sings the part about never regretting what she does. That line is a direct homage of her grandfathers most memorable teaching to her. I've once read it explained that her grandfather taught her something along the line that if she follows her heart and doesn't give up in her endeavors, she won't regret the things she does or has done. Her grandfather was a humanitarian in his own right from what i understand. So yes this song is indeed as personal as it gets.
She put out an EP last year, with 6 great songs. The EP is entitled "Old Enough" Songs: "Love Don't Let Me Go" "Now I'm The Fool" "Good in Goodbyes" "It's All My Fault" "Fire And Rain" "Diamond" You should do an extended video and listen to all 6 songs on the EP!
Dounia, the 1st 2 tracks of the EP, "Old Enough," have a Music Video, while the last 4 tracks are audio only, so make sure you react to the videos, not just the audio only versions.
As far as I know Angelina had help from Stargate (a Norwegian songwriting and record production duo) in adding the polishing touches to her initial lyric video release of this song. May peace return and all be well with the world - take care Dounia! 🕊
Million Miles Angelina’s first original after signing with republic records at 14 years old,the pianist in this performance is two times Grammy award winner Rob Christie the musical director of republic records, there are many versions of Million Miles,Angelina’s heart felt performance is phenomenal so much emotion in this tribute to her Grandfather who passed away, Angelina brought out a EP last year, the EP is called ( Old Enough) all six songs on the EP are fire 🔥, great reaction thanks 🙏
Regarding Angelina’s releases, at age 8 she released a 3 song Christmas maxi-single called My Christmas. At age 10 she released a 6 song EP called Angelina Jordan-The EP. It contains songs recorded between ages 8-10. At age 12 she released a full album called It’s Magic which was recorded at age 11 with the Norwegian Armed Forces band. The album includes Angelina’s first two recorded originals. Last year at age 17 she released a 6 song EP of all originals called Old Enough. Also last year she released a 5 song Christmas EP. 4 of the songs were live performances from her 2021 pay per view live streamed concert. She has also released 7 stand alone singles which includes covers of Bohemian Rhapsody and Mercy and originals, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Our Time and Bad Valentine. Plus she recorded and released If I Were a Boy for Toby Gad’s Piano Diaries album. Her cover of Mercy was featured in the opening scene of the 2021 theatrical film The Hating Game. Her performance of The Christmas Song was used in a scene of a Netflix film released earlier this year. The song Our Time was used by the financial company SoFi in one of their TV commercials. So Angelina has actually been quite busy but there are still several recorded songs that have not yet been released.
What I don't understand is why her record company didn't release more of her music 🎶 only a single EP and it's already a Year ago. This first single is timeless beautiful full of emotions and worth for a Grammy ❤🎉 She's an endless source of beautiful music out of her diaries 🎹 she told us, she's written 100 songs waiting for the release 🎉 Her new producer and songwriter Toby Gad found a gem 💎 Hope they will release more of her music in the near future 🙏 Thank you for your beautiful analysis ❤
The fact that Republic Records not releasing more of her material may be behind the rumors of her team trying to get her out of her contract. Regarding Toby Gad, I wouldn’t necessarily say he is her new producer. Angelina began working with Toby 2 years ago. He was just one of several producers she was working with at the time for her album for Republic. In fact Bad Valentine was originally recorded 2 years ago. There are 7 other songs that she recorded with him at that time that are yet to be released. At least one more is planned for release. Whether or not Angelina works with Toby exclusively in the future we shall see.
Great reaction 🙂 You can say what you want about Taylor Swift, she has had and still has an incredible career, but Angelina IS not like her, and will never be. As an artist, Angelina is several levels above IMO. As for this performance. She wrote the lyrics at age 13, just after her beloved grandfather had died. Then she recorded this music video in Republic Records' studio just after she signed a contract with them when she was 14. Angelina will turn 19 on January 10th. I don't know WHEN or HOW it will happen, but when the world becomes aware of her incredible talent, her career will be astronomical. At least if she wants so herself. That's another thing that remains to be seen🙂 Thanks a lot for keeping Angelina in the regular reactions rotation, Dounia. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I will second listening to the live version--the last line/belt goes 12 seconds and she begins the last verse nearly out of breath which adds to the intense emotion of the song. This woman could fall off the stage while singing and make it sound like it was written into the vocal arrangement. As stated at least the first part is slowed down. I, among many feel she is best live as she is so close to her Angels that really comes through in the performance. I have not seen her use in ear monitors for her last 3 concerts and she stated she can identify voices in the crowd--one can see her looking at people in the crowd at times and I believe that is why she uses floor monitors. th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html One thing that makes her unique is that when she says she loves the people in the audience--she means it from deep down. As stated she wrote this song for her Grandfather and the reference to the moon is from her Grandfather stating that after his passing her would watch her from the moon and would always be there for her. She did a lyric version with her Grandmothers art and Angelina stated that tears rolled down her face the entire time she was singing in the booth. She has an EP that she finished at 16 and put out at 17 that tells her story and should be listened to in order. The first two songs are videos, the last 4 audio only. "Fire and Rain" she stated she wrote for her fans, "Good in Goodbye's" is about leaving her protected past and taking command of her career, and "Diamond" is an anthem that begins with great attitude. Listen closely to the lyrics when you do these as in my opinion they are stunning and the wisdom in them should not be coming out of a 16yo---maybe 60+ but not 16. I welcome you with open arms as it is wonderful to add another Angel and may I add your husband made a wise choice. Angelina is such a special person in so many ways--the trolls are almost non-existent and most of the individuals that follow her are such good souls and many work tirelessly on her behalf. I think the higher frequencies her fans live in and the fact that she seems to amplify that energy makes it impossible for the bad to exist in it. I wish people could wake up to the reality of the Middle East but most have been fed a myth and are forever stuck in it which does not bode well for that area. I know people who have visited, stayed for an extended time and my Dad did business with a man from Lebanon who sold jewelry. I would sit and listen while my Dad questioned him and from those experiences gained my first insight into what it was really like for people there--most in the West would consider living there a hell on earth for some. I hope things change for the better for all that are there. I wish I could impact the situation positively but it is most difficult even one individual at a time. May Angelina's voice give you some peace and calm in the storm in which you live. All the best, Jeff.
Angelina's original song after she lost her maternal grandfather: you might like to see her live version in Norway in 2022 - she slowed the song down and enhanced its emotional impact even further: th-cam.com/video/fhn4pIDunGg/w-d-xo.html
En mi opinión Taylor es una cantante del montón súper producida, pero bue, lo producido se debe vender a cualquier costo, es una regla comercial. Angelina es otra cosa! Sin dudas, por mucho la mejor vocalista que escuche en mi vida. Sumado a eso es cocreadora de la letra de sus canciones y la música, etc. Angelina no es una cantante de Pop, es una cantante de Jazz que canta Blues, Pop y el género que les parezca. Me gustaría escuchar a un cantante de Elite de la actualidad, cantar en cocheras, plazas, sentado en un sofá, a capela, etc. Como Angelina si lo hace. Si bien la música es un elemento subjetivo, basta con tener un poco de oído para poder diferenciar lo del montón de lo realmente bueno. No soy fanático de Angelina, siento admiración por lo que nos brinda en cada actuación (técnica, creatividad, pasión, profesionalidad, etc. Cada actuación de Angelina me genera un placer único e inexplicable de estar escuchando a lo más cercano a la perfección del punto de vista vocal. Gran reacción! Saludos y que mejore tu situación.
Very True Sir...great marketing, costumes, back up dancers and flash and dazzle shows does not a singer make. She is mediocre at best. Much prefer classic talented vocalists , Angelina is a Master Class vocalist already. There are 1000's of "singers" on the planet, very few true vocal artists like Angelina.
I think you're right about the future predictions of Angelina. She will perhaps not be exactly like Taylor Swift, but she will be popular in a different way. She can sing anything anywhere. She is capable of doing it. Thank you for your reaction.
And your correct, she does have the respect, in fact she has the respect of legends in the business. Quincy Jones was a huge fan of hers, among other legends.
I think she will sing the theme song in a James Bond movie and also be the main star in the movie, because she definitely has the data of a model. And just so you know, she already sang a song for Defi's Hollywood movie "Mercy", you can listen to the song on TH-cam as well and comment 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
She also did "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) soundtrack, for the movie "A Family Affair", with Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and Kathy Bates.
Million miles is very special to me, since i lost my dad at a very young age and he was very young aswell ❤ I have even Said to my family that million miles is gonna be played in my funeral, or Else i am coming back to haunt them 😂😂😂 I wonder if you know the Norwegian artist Aurora? She is awesome and it would be cool if you would react to her song Through the eyes of a child... the perfomance from Nidarosdomen, live ❤ ?
Yes, your right, she needs to release an album...!! What the hell is R R going?? Although there's a rumor out that trying to get out of the contract. I hope they do, because R R have done nothing for her at all.Hell Toby has done more for her.. GET HER MUSIC OUT HERE......!!!!!!!!
0:20 I have followed Angelina since 2014, and I love her, but I would not have been a Norwegian if I didnt suggest Satyricon. It is, well....metal, with a big opera choir. Two songs from the same concert. First, Satyricon Mother North Live at the opera, and then Phoenix, with a different vocalist (The Nick Cave of Norway someone call him), and a completely different sound. It is just pure brilliance, and the drummer, with the worlds most beautiful name (Kjetil) is out of this world.
I hope for a better world where people are secure and do not worry that some radical faction is disrupting their lives. These radicals live in hate and it is what they deliver hate runs their heart and soul.

Of course, Angelina does not need colored lenses, but she is a "typical" 18-year-old girl! oh she has a lot of money to come up with a lot of "girl stuff" let her try and fail in peace then, she's a good girl anyway :)
Since you asked, I dont agree with your comments on Angelina's blue eye contacts. While i understand you're point that she has natural beauty, we should respect her personal choices she makes with families input. Her singing ability (and your ability to give us excellent reactions) has nothing to do with your eyes, hair color and length, piercings, etc. Would it be appropriate to say "I like your channel but i really wish your eyes were blue or green or brown? 🍁
I wish with all my heart that she still sounded like this. She sounds way too raspy now. Like that one chick that died at 27 I can't think of her name. She was pretty famous but this is what Angelina Jordan sounds like now is this chick. And I feel like her production company wants her to sound like that... Replacement for Amy Winehouse I think it is.😢 I want her to sound more like her old self like in this video here.🎉❤
Now that the American President has returned, so shall peace. This day is has been long awaited. The day "We the people" woke up! We will do what we should have from the beginning, Support and love the rest of the world. Angelina is "World changer" They are so rare and this one is just in time.

Keep yourself and baby safe. Prayers for you.
this song gets me every time
This is a beautiful song. I absolutely love Angelina Jordan. She's the best new young vocal artist right now. That's out there. In the music industry❤❤❤❤❤❤
She's 14 here.
The song is about the recent passing of her grandfather.
Her version of "All i Ask" by Adele at 15, you might try that one next it's excellent.
Love your reactions!!
She is special from the first time we get to know and listen to that great and beautiful voice of our Princess ❤..it'll stay that way..until we die..Watch all her songs...please..
Angelina's original songs are taken from her own journal writings. She takes her journal to the studio and to writing sessions.
You are right, it is personal - it is about her grandfather that passed away when she was 12. Thank you for another good reaction. Hope the best for you and your country... 😍
Not to be to picky but her paternal grandfather died when she was 12 and her maternal grandfather died when she was 13 which was what this song is about.

she wrote this after her granddad passed away...she is very, very attached to her beautiful family. Family is FIRST to Angie
Peace and love from Bavaria, thank you for your beautiful reaction and analysis!
The first time she sang this live was when she was 16 at her concerts in Norway. She slowed it down considerably. This song is so personal to her, I was amazed she could sing this and not break down crying.
Since then, I have been in the audience, and heard her sing this live. Once in Portsmouth, twice at Vegas, and again in Glendale. I have become so accustomed to the slower tempo that now hearing the original, it seems rushed!
At Vegas and Glendale, I was lucky enough to sit up close to the stage. At both shows, I gave her the “heart” symbol when giving the standing ovation.

Dounia, I agree with you! She is the next Diva! She is not only a beautiful singer, she is a beautiful person. Her heart has so much empathy for the downtrodden. I’m sure you know why she sings barefoot. The world needs more Angelinas!
Excellent reaction. Angelia made an EP called Old Enough. It contains 2 videos and 4 or 5 songs. All originals. I hope you react to it.
Angelina, just a 14 year old in her element writing a song about missing her Grandpa and killing it! The lyrics are most likely from her journals, she accompanied her Grandfather-Japanese-in Oslo when he went out to help the needy! He also told her to never regret what you do and the reference to the Moon is because the Moon holds a very important place in Japanese culture! This was her first song released after signing with Republic Records. Rob Christie is a Grammy winning producer and the director of studio operations at Republic Records, Angelina’s record label. He has accompanied her on piano since her signing with Republic Records. The live version is out of this world, the last belt is still reverberating in the heavens! She displays so much empathy and humility a true role model! I loved her studio and music video versions of this song! However, I like how she plays with the song and the belt was heard and is still reverberating in the heavens, just WOW! She keeps getting better and better. That lady’s and gentlemen is pure class! 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯
I don’t think Angelina will ever be a “Super Star” . Not because of her voice , heavens no. She is the most beautiful,lovely singer of our time. Angelina will never be one of those classless female singers that strut around on the stage with hardly any clothes on shaking her butt and boobs. Just like most of the females out there ( Taylor Swift) for example. They can’t hold a candle to Angelina’s talent but they use their bodies to make up for their lack of talent. Just my humble opinion. I hope one day she will be rewarded for her talent by the Grammy people (I’m not holding my breath) but all her angels love her with devotion and support. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wonderful reaction, Duonia. It is a beautiful song honoring and remembering her grandfather. Thank you. I'm pretty sure you're now one of Angelina's Angels... welcome.
She is trying to part company with Republic Records at present. Perhaps when this is sorted we will haven album. This is, in my opinion, the best version of this song, so far. A beautiful tribute to a beloved Grandfather from the pen of a 13 year old.
My true Angelina favourite it gets me every time. Lovely reaction and perfect words.
Thank you for your continued support for Angelina. Regarding her blue eyes, I have no definitive information but I have several congesture. Both her mother and grandmother have blue eyes. Also the little homeless girl to whom she gave her shoes when she was 6 also has blue eyes. Angelina has put out 2 albums. One when she was quite young called Magic , the other a yrs ago called old enough, all original songs.❤❤👣❤❤
Yes, belive me; I can and do listen to her music and reactions to it too all day, through work and rest.😊 She is so versatile I really don't need anyone else.. And others tend to sound the same in every song. They might be very good singers, but I get bored easily. 😊
Stay safe, Dounia! ❤
You are a blessing
14 yrs old, 4 yrs ago and she's still getting better every day absolute talent. she wrote this song to honor her grad father
Great reaction, Dounia -- and please, take good care! You will be around to see AJ as a diva! BTW AJ composed this song at 14 in memory of her grandfather, who had recently passed away. Here, AJ performs Million Miles live, in Norway, with a small band -- and slows the tempo dramatically: th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html. Thanks, Brad
Wonderful reaction Dounia. I am commenting here because I TOTALLY agree with Brad (@ClandOp)… this ballad has become almost an anthem dedicated to those who have lost a loved one. And characteristically, Angelina has reimagined this song for her first concert AFTER the pandemic - she slowed her OWN original song WAY down and infused it with more emotion than it seems is humanly possible. You will LOVE Angelina even more if you react to this live version that Brad has linked above. It was performed in Norway during the summer of 2022 and many Ångels flew from around the world to see her live.
I hope you and your baby remain safe and well. We are all thinking of you during these difficult times for you and your family. 💙🙏
Angelina sketched out all the scenes for this video,just another facet of this musical diamond.❤️
Just to clarify, there is an official music video of the original studio version of this song. That’s the video that Angelina sketched out the storyboards for. It’s a different version of the song with a little more production.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Her live version in Kurbadhagen Norway in 2022 was so powerful even the band members took notice. Angelina live is dynamite. I'll be at her holiday concert in LA in December. Please be safe.
A good follow up to this version is the lyric video. She and her grandmother did the graphics for it. It’s Angelina’s concept. And Angelina drew the storyboards for the video portions. It will definitely give you a sense to the meaning of the song.
Last year she dropped a six song ep of all original songs called Old Enough. It is available on all streaming services. She also has some Cristmas albums. She has a Persian grandmother and a Norwegian father, so I am pretty sure the blue eyes are natural. Her birth last name is Astar...and so she is.
She also had a Japanese grandfather who was her grandmother Mery's husband and they are her Mother Sara Astar s parents and her grandfather is where the name Astar came from, Sara's brother is Michael Astar and he is Angelina's manager! Like her mother, Mery Zamani, she never took the last name of either of her two husbands, who were both Norwegian! Her eye color is brown, I also like her brown eyes, but both her and her mother prefer the blue eyes from contacts, and I respect their choices! Growing up in Norway maybe they have been made to feel self conscious about their eyes! Whatever the reason it's their choice! I just pray she stays humble and sweet as she rises to superstar in her career! After all, being a superstar just means you are exceptional at your chosen profession, we all are broken flawed human beings!
I am praying for you and your family! Stay safe and away from known Hezbollah operations!
Angelina’s father Gerry Christian Slättman is Swedish, not Norwegian. Some claim that he is not her biological father, but I don’t think we know that for sure. Maybe speculation
Angelina was born when her mother Sara was about 22. I had never heard that she was married before.
I don’t really know where the Astar name comes from. Astar is not a Japanese name so it’s probably not from Angelina’s grandfather. It’s also interesting that Angelina took the name Astar and not Slattman as her sister Juliette did.
There are some mysteries regarding her family.
Angelina’s mother and Uncle Mike grew up in Japan and the family later moved to Norway. Mike talks about that in an interview.
Angelina’s mother and grandmother wear blue contacts so she may just be following them. At the time of this video she hadn’t started wearing the contacts yet.
❤❤❤❤❤
Her songs are so well written that it feels like we’re revisiting them from our youth. Classic sounds of a bygone era yet fresh and new
I agree 100% about Angelina becoming something truly special in the future and I too hope to be alive to see it. The song was written and composed by Angelina for her Grandpa that passed on. Angelina has an album, really, really it's called old enough, take care,☮️❤️
judy The song was written and composed by Angelina and the guys of Stargate.
When she sings the part about never regretting what she does. That line is a direct homage of her grandfathers most memorable teaching to her. I've once read it explained that her grandfather taught her something along the line that if she follows her heart and doesn't give up in her endeavors, she won't regret the things she does or has done. Her grandfather was a humanitarian in his own right from what i understand. So yes this song is indeed as personal as it gets.
Great reaction! Thanks.
Nothing is like her, she changes you and touches the soul and changes the hearts of man! "She is"
She put out an EP last year, with 6 great songs. The EP is entitled "Old Enough"
Songs:
"Love Don't Let Me Go"
"Now I'm The Fool"
"Good in Goodbyes"
"It's All My Fault"
"Fire And Rain"
"Diamond"
You should do an extended video and listen to all 6 songs on the EP!
Dounia, the 1st 2 tracks of the EP, "Old Enough," have a Music Video, while the last 4 tracks are audio only, so make sure you react to the videos, not just the audio only versions.
Your our inspiration, as we feel your own emotions as you hear our Angelina put her sauce on her music!
Fully agree, I miss her brown eyes. I hope she turns back one day to wear clear lenses.
Thank you Dounia for great reaction and support Angelina. 😊
Stay safe.
Greetings from USA.
Thank you reacting angelina
The Angel of music in disguise !!!
Angel.ina😇🙏❤️
The Amazing Angelina Jordan . 👍👍👍👍👍
As far as I know Angelina had help from Stargate (a Norwegian songwriting and record production duo) in adding the polishing touches to her initial lyric video release of this song. May peace return and all be well with the world - take care Dounia! 🕊
Essa musica é em homenagem ao recente falecido avô!
This is a heart wrenching song beautiful 😍 🎉❤
Million Miles Angelina’s first original after signing with republic records at 14 years old,the pianist in this performance is two times Grammy award winner Rob Christie the musical director of republic records, there are many versions of Million Miles,Angelina’s heart felt performance is phenomenal so much emotion in this tribute to her Grandfather who passed away, Angelina brought out a EP last year, the EP is called ( Old Enough) all six songs on the EP are fire 🔥, great reaction thanks 🙏
Regarding Angelina’s releases, at age 8 she released a 3 song Christmas maxi-single called My Christmas.
At age 10 she released a 6 song EP called Angelina Jordan-The EP. It contains songs recorded between ages 8-10.
At age 12 she released a full album called It’s Magic which was recorded at age 11 with the Norwegian Armed Forces band. The album includes Angelina’s first two recorded originals.
Last year at age 17 she released a 6 song EP of all originals called Old Enough.
Also last year she released a 5 song Christmas EP. 4 of the songs were live performances from her 2021 pay per view live streamed concert.
She has also released 7 stand alone singles which includes covers of Bohemian Rhapsody and Mercy and originals, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Our Time and Bad Valentine. Plus she recorded and released If I Were a Boy for Toby Gad’s Piano Diaries album.
Her cover of Mercy was featured in the opening scene of the 2021 theatrical film The Hating Game.
Her performance of The Christmas Song was used in a scene of a Netflix film released earlier this year.
The song Our Time was used by the financial company SoFi in one of their TV commercials.
So Angelina has actually been quite busy but there are still several recorded songs that have not yet been released.
Excellent comment, pjg58x, to Dounia's comment about "Angelina needs to do an album!"
Didn’t mention two songs, Above the Water and A Song For A, released by other artists on which Angelina was asked to provide the vocals.
What I don't understand is why her record company didn't release more of her music 🎶 only a single EP and it's already a Year ago.
This first single is timeless beautiful full of emotions and worth for a Grammy ❤🎉
She's an endless source of beautiful music out of her diaries 🎹 she told us, she's written 100 songs waiting for the release 🎉
Her new producer and songwriter Toby Gad found a gem 💎 Hope they will release more of her music in the near future 🙏
Thank you for your beautiful analysis ❤
The fact that Republic Records not releasing more of her material may be behind the rumors of her team trying to get her out of her contract.
Regarding Toby Gad, I wouldn’t necessarily say he is her new producer. Angelina began working with Toby 2 years ago. He was just one of several producers she was working with at the time for her album for Republic. In fact Bad Valentine was originally recorded 2 years ago. There are 7 other songs that she recorded with him at that time that are yet to be released. At least one more is planned for release.
Whether or not Angelina works with Toby exclusively in the future we shall see.
Great reaction 🙂 You can say what you want about Taylor Swift, she has had and still has an incredible career, but Angelina IS not like her, and will never be. As an artist, Angelina is several levels above IMO. As for this performance. She wrote the lyrics at age 13, just after her beloved grandfather had died. Then she recorded this music video in Republic Records' studio just after she signed a contract with them when she was 14. Angelina will turn 19 on January 10th. I don't know WHEN or HOW it will happen, but when the world becomes aware of her incredible talent, her career will be astronomical. At least if she wants so herself. That's another thing that remains to be seen🙂 Thanks a lot for keeping Angelina in the regular reactions rotation, Dounia.
Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I will second listening to the live version--the last line/belt goes 12 seconds and she begins the last verse nearly out of breath which adds to the intense emotion of the song. This woman could fall off the stage while singing and make it sound like it was written into the vocal arrangement. As stated at least the first part is slowed down. I, among many feel she is best live as she is so close to her Angels that really comes through in the performance. I have not seen her use in ear monitors for her last 3 concerts and she stated she can identify voices in the crowd--one can see her looking at people in the crowd at times and I believe that is why she uses floor monitors.
th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html
One thing that makes her unique is that when she says she loves the people in the audience--she means it from deep down. As stated she wrote this song for her Grandfather and the reference to the moon is from her Grandfather stating that after his passing her would watch her from the moon and would always be there for her. She did a lyric version with her Grandmothers art and Angelina stated that tears rolled down her face the entire time she was singing in the booth. She has an EP that she finished at 16 and put out at 17 that tells her story and should be listened to in order. The first two songs are videos, the last 4 audio only. "Fire and Rain" she stated she wrote for her fans, "Good in Goodbye's" is about leaving her protected past and taking command of her career, and "Diamond" is an anthem that begins with great attitude. Listen closely to the lyrics when you do these as in my opinion they are stunning and the wisdom in them should not be coming out of a 16yo---maybe 60+ but not 16.
I welcome you with open arms as it is wonderful to add another Angel and may I add your husband made a wise choice. Angelina is such a special person in so many ways--the trolls are almost non-existent and most of the individuals that follow her are such good souls and many work tirelessly on her behalf. I think the higher frequencies her fans live in and the fact that she seems to amplify that energy makes it impossible for the bad to exist in it.
I wish people could wake up to the reality of the Middle East but most have been fed a myth and are forever stuck in it which does not bode well for that area. I know people who have visited, stayed for an extended time and my Dad did business with a man from Lebanon who sold jewelry. I would sit and listen while my Dad questioned him and from those experiences gained my first insight into what it was really like for people there--most in the West would consider living there a hell on earth for some. I hope things change for the better for all that are there. I wish I could impact the situation positively but it is most difficult even one individual at a time.
May Angelina's voice give you some peace and calm in the storm in which you live.
All the best, Jeff.
Angelina's original song after she lost her maternal grandfather: you might like to see her live version in Norway in 2022 - she slowed the song down and enhanced its emotional impact even further: th-cam.com/video/fhn4pIDunGg/w-d-xo.html
Music is the soul of our being ❤
she did to an album . two i think.... and working on another one.
she is 14.5 years old .
En mi opinión Taylor es una cantante del montón súper producida, pero bue, lo producido se debe vender a cualquier costo, es una regla comercial. Angelina es otra cosa! Sin dudas, por mucho la mejor vocalista que escuche en mi vida. Sumado a eso es cocreadora de la letra de sus canciones y la música, etc. Angelina no es una cantante de Pop, es una cantante de Jazz que canta Blues, Pop y el género que les parezca. Me gustaría escuchar a un cantante de Elite de la actualidad, cantar en cocheras, plazas, sentado en un sofá, a capela, etc. Como Angelina si lo hace. Si bien la música es un elemento subjetivo, basta con tener un poco de oído para poder diferenciar lo del montón de lo realmente bueno. No soy fanático de Angelina, siento admiración por lo que nos brinda en cada actuación (técnica, creatividad, pasión, profesionalidad, etc. Cada actuación de Angelina me genera un placer único e inexplicable de estar escuchando a lo más cercano a la perfección del punto de vista vocal. Gran reacción! Saludos y que mejore tu situación.
Very True Sir...great marketing, costumes, back up dancers and flash and dazzle shows does not a singer make. She is mediocre at best. Much prefer classic talented vocalists , Angelina is a Master Class vocalist already. There are 1000's of "singers" on the planet, very few true vocal artists like Angelina.
she is album in spotify
I think you're right about the future predictions of Angelina. She will perhaps not be exactly like Taylor Swift, but she will be popular in a different way. She can sing anything anywhere. She is capable of doing it. Thank you for your reaction.
And your correct, she does have the respect, in fact she has the respect of legends in the business. Quincy Jones was a huge fan of hers, among other legends.
I think she will sing the theme song in a James Bond movie and also be the main star in the movie, because she definitely has the data of a model. And just so you know, she already sang a song for Defi's Hollywood movie "Mercy", you can listen to the song on TH-cam as well and comment 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
She also did "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) soundtrack, for the movie "A Family Affair", with Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and Kathy Bates.
I love Angelina's Brown eyes. I hope she'll go brown again at some time. Angelina Jordan Our Barefoot Princess of Jazz. ❤👣
Million miles is very special to me, since i lost my dad at a very young age and he was very young aswell ❤ I have even Said to my family that million miles is gonna be played in my funeral, or Else i am coming back to haunt them 😂😂😂 I wonder if you know the Norwegian artist Aurora? She is awesome and it would be cool if you would react to her song Through the eyes of a child... the perfomance from Nidarosdomen, live ❤ ?
👍🏻💗🎶
Yes, your right, she needs to release an album...!! What the hell is R R going?? Although there's a rumor out that trying to get out of the contract. I hope they do, because R R have done nothing for her at all.Hell Toby has done more for her.. GET HER MUSIC OUT HERE......!!!!!!!!
Obrigado por de alguma forma eu te motivar um dia tudo isso ficará para trás
0:20 I have followed Angelina since 2014, and I love her, but I would not have been a Norwegian if I didnt suggest Satyricon. It is, well....metal, with a big opera choir. Two songs from the same concert. First, Satyricon Mother North Live at the opera, and then Phoenix, with a different vocalist (The Nick Cave of Norway someone call him), and a completely different sound. It is just pure brilliance, and the drummer, with the worlds most beautiful name (Kjetil) is out of this world.
No, please, I hope Angelina will never be like "the Taylor".
I hope for a better world where people are secure and do not worry that some radical faction is disrupting their lives. These radicals live in hate and it is what they deliver hate runs their heart and soul.

love ur channel stay safe help is on the way ...jan 20 2025
Good luck with that
Of course, Angelina does not need colored lenses, but she is a "typical" 18-year-old girl! oh she has a lot of money to come up with a lot of "girl stuff" let her try and fail in peace then, she's a good girl anyway :)
Well said.
Since you asked, I dont agree with your comments on Angelina's blue eye contacts. While i understand you're point that she has natural beauty, we should respect her personal choices she makes with families input. Her singing ability (and your ability to give us excellent reactions) has nothing to do with your eyes, hair color and length, piercings, etc.
Would it be appropriate to say "I like your channel but i really wish your eyes were blue or green or brown? 🍁
I wish with all my heart that she still sounded like this. She sounds way too raspy now. Like that one chick that died at 27
I can't think of her name. She was pretty famous but this is what Angelina Jordan sounds like now is this chick. And I feel like her production company wants her to sound like that... Replacement for Amy Winehouse I think it is.😢
I want her to sound more like her old self like in this video here.🎉❤
Stay strong. Trump is going to end these wars!
I have very blue eyes. It is overrated.
Now that the American President has returned, so shall peace. This day is has been long awaited. The day "We the people" woke up! We will do what we should have from the beginning, Support and love the rest of the world. Angelina is "World changer" They are so rare and this one is just in time.
Yikes!!!
You’re about to discover how stole the election with the help of Felon Musk.
