Angelina was a few weeks past her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement and delivered this powerful performance. The musicians lovingly called her 'the boss' since she directed them for how she wanted to sing the song. She is 18 now and performed 16 originals. *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 never learned the orphan's name but called her Princess. The orphan girl replied, "princesses live in castles, we live in ruins". Angelina titled her song about this story, "Princess of Ruins". 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.
Angelina the barefoot princess. You can't go wrong with her. She's in the category with Dimash and Ren. THE 3 GOATS in the world. Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments. 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 one of the youngest ever vocalists 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 jazz 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 is only her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album. Here is a semi-chronological TH-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu Here is an extended playlist of approximately 400 performances compiled and categorized, thanks to mosttodo10. th-cam.com/video/IxPiumYD_r0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=anjDyUnXdkPjCEf0 Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. 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 stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to 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.

The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend, now living in LA. (curent 18 Years old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe! All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody! (Translated by Google) Today (18 years old) Angelina Jordan is no longer a talent, but a world-class singer!

You saw her writing??? THAT WAS HER ARRANGEMENT of the whole thing (at age 9). OHH I forgot WELCOME to the world of the barefoot princess. Dear Sir, you can trust my friends, who comment here. They know what they are doing. Sincerely, Elmar from Germany
Hi Christopher, even if you already got some comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard newbies comment" (SNC) - maybe you can find some for you new information in it ;-) So, here is my SNC: 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 (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) based on the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956) - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.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 ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.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 😃 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 TH-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 - th-cam.com/channels/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA.html Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - th-cam.com/channels/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg.html Angelina Jordan VEVO Channel - th-cam.com/channels/D9xBPlntT45VN6dY1LNhng.html Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - th-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): th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.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... 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 th-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 😃 Best regards Andreas 😎
Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess!  Angelina grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it. Angelina arranges, at least in part, if not in total, total control of all her performances. She has since she was 7-8 yrs old. She knows what she wants and gets exactly what she wants out of the artists and musicians she works with, many of them who are some of the most accomplished in the industry. Angelina has the most beautiful deep voice which is always in tune and quite often in her lower register. I believe she is a Contralto which is rare for a girl especially at this age. You will soon realize she is always Pitch Perfect and always performs at a Master Class level. Her voice was powerful and beautiful at 8 yrs old and today at 18 it is phenomenal! Enjoy the ride. I will enjoy watching you. “When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 You can see that in this performance and we are immediately drawn into this world with her. Her first song was Whitney Houston 'I Will Always Love You'? at 18 months. Angelina is the Grand Master of Jazz! She could teach a Master Class at 8 years old.

Best singer in the world. ❤👣
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole!! This young lady burst on the scene at Norway’s Got Talent in 2013-14 at the age of seven and turned eight midway through the competition. She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" followed by an Acapella performance of Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You". She was 7 years old for both performances. Her birthday is January 10th, so her next two performances she had turned 8 (barely). She performed Sony & Cher's "Bang, Bang" (made popular by Nancy Sinatra). She won the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". For these performances, please make sure you watch subtitled versions as they are in Norwegian and the judge's comments are very much worth reading!! She performs barefoot because a promise she made to a poor Iranian girl when she was six years old. She met this girl who was weighing people for money. After talking to this girl about their dreams, the girl dreamed of being a doctor and Angelina told her dream of wanting to sing for the world. Angelina, at six, took off her favorite pair of boots and gave them to the girl as she had no shoes at all. She promised the girl that she would perform barefoot as long as there were shoeless children in the world! Twelve years later she still performs barefoot in honor of that promise - there are a couple times she is not barefoot for reasons like venue wouldn’t allow it or she’s brought on stage for a song or two and it’s not her headlined performance, etc. At age nine she published a book about the experience “Between Two Hearts” and became the youngest published author in Norway. You will be inundated with comments and song suggestions from her fans who are her “Angels”. Her Angels are very passionate about her as many are father/mother to great-great-grandfather/grandmother age - and we all adore her as if she were one of our kids/grandkids. You really can’t go wrong with any song of hers you choose. She always puts her mark on covers while paying absolute respect to the original. She has done her own arrangements since at least age 9 when she did “I Put a Spell on You” at 9yrs 2mos old. For that performance she comes out with a candle picturing the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (worth checking out his performance on Merv Griffin where he’s dressed like a voodoo doctor performing it). Next you’ll see her little hand writing a note to the music director who reads it and smiles. It’s last minute changes to the piano. The whole band was calling her “Boss” out of respect as she was professional and knew exactly what she wanted to accomplish. You’ll get a great many requests for her songs and they are all great! I’m 58 years old and have never been captured by a voice like I have been by Angelina. I ‘found’ her in January of 2020 while watching young folks reacting to legends like The Righteous Brothers and this video thumbnail of a little (13 yo) girl sitting on a blue couch popped up and I decided to click it. This cover of “I’d Rather go Blind” absolutely blew my mind. Since that day I’ve barely listened to anyone else. I’ve listened to her for thousands of hours and watched hundreds of if not thousands of hours of reactions to her. I’m going to recommend some songs that most people don’t immediately recommend. You’ll get lots of Bohemian Rhapsody, Bad Valentine, Suspicious Minds, Unchained Melody, If I Were a Boy and many others - they are ALL fantastic! But I’m going to pop in some recommendations that aren’t as often requested but are brilliant as always with her. Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game - she slowed it down and made it even more emotional while playing the piano. Alan Walker - Sunday & Singe Me to Sleep Live. Alan Walker is a Norwegian DJ and music producer who asked Angelina to open his “Coming Home” concert. She was just ten years old and sick. They told her she didn’t need to perform, but being the professional she is, she insisted on performing anyway. So you will hear a couple voice cracks from her being sick but she still did a beautiful job! Rihanna - Stay - this is a cover she did in L.A. in a room in her house with guitar player Ivan Mendez. You can watch him get lost in her voice, there’s an interview with him on Alan Papier’s channel. Elvis - Can’t Help Falling in Love - Another performance from a room in a house in Norway. The guitar player here is Egil Claussen and Alan Papier-mâché has an interview with him as well. George Gershwin - Summertime (KORK) - KORK is a famous Norwegian Orchestra who has performed with Angelina several times. This a beautiful rendition of her Norway’s Got Talent winning cover song! Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Jazzy Michael Jackson Cover) - I have never been a fan of MJ, sorry but it is what it is. That said, Angelina completely reimagined this song in her Jazzy rendition. Beatles - Yesterday - filmed in the same location as Billie Jean. This is a fantastic re-imaging as well. Seoul Muse Festival Opened for Norah Jones at age 11. She sang “I Put a Spell on You” in front of 40,000 attendees. My understanding is that it was a last minute request as Norah was running late so Angelina is in ‘street clothes’. Her 7 song set at Muse is worth checking out as well - not sure if her set was performed earlier that day or another day of the festival. The big deal here, for me, is how unaffected an 11 year old is singing in front of a crowd that size! With a growing library of over 200 covers by over 80 legends like Adele, Billie Holiday, Whitney Houston, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, John Legend, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Queen, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, etc. As I’ve said, anything she sings is worth a listen! Angelina is currently collaborating with Toby Gad (co-writer “All of Me”, “If I were a Boy”, “Big Girls don’t Cry”, “Skyscraper”, among others) and Scott Hoying of Pentatonix to create new music!! Welcome to Angelina’s world! Like the Hotel California - You can check out, but you can never leave once she puts her spell on you!!

Thank you so much for this reaction. My birthday is October 24, so I'm a Halloween baby. I love Angelina Jordan. Your charisma put me in the best mood. I've seen a lot of reactions to this particular song from her but your reaction by far is the best. Thank you. I haven't looked at your channel but if you haven't reacted to Dimash Kudaibergen could you please do that for me.? The song S.O.S I am singer 2017 China.
Welcome in the world of this magical singer, Angelina is sure my preferred singer, she is a kind of daydream that has been going on for 10 years now and continues to excite me. Now she is a girl of 18 old years and, if is possible, is even more amazing, this girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, she will find a way to transform them with her extraordinary musical intelligence. Thanks for the wonderful and amazed reaction, this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent and also a great musical masterpiece. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding for music in a splendid way, especially with these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤
Angelina is 9 years old in this video. Angelina started singing when she was 1 1/2 years of age and there is video of her at that age sitting in a bed with a microphone in her hand singing Whitney Houston's "I will always love you ". You need to go back to when Angelina was 6 years old in the studio singing and recording a Tom Jones classic " I who have nothing " and work your way to current day. Angelina is 18 years old now as of January 10th 2024.
Enjoyed your reaction, and hope to see more Angelina on your channel. Just so you know, this rabbit hole is very deep, with well over 200 songs available to react to. Angelina is unlike any other singer out there, although often compared to Amy Winehouse , Adele and others, she is much more. She is forging her own lane and creating her own genre of jazzy pop. I've never heard anyone like her.
Well, welcome to the AJ Rabbit Hole! 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. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Adele 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 at age 7 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!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She 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. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024. Currently, she is working with 3 time Grammy winner songwriter/producer Toby Gad creating new original music for her to sing. Gad has co-wrote and produced such big hits like All Of Me by John Legend, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, If I Were A Boy by Beyonce, and Skyscraper by Demi Lovato and a number of others. 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 poor shoeless 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 sing for the whole world, 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!
Strong recommendation: Go through Angelina's performances mostly in chronological order. Perhaps starting with her audition on Norway's Got Talent (when she was 7.) She went on to win that whole competition.
A great reaction to Angelina Jordan she was only nine years old at the time of this performance. She has a huge catalogue of songs to react to because she is currently 18. Diana Ankudinova as a new sound that you can read to called, Desert Rose
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
I started very young at one and half with Jazz " an answer from an eight year old girl 😂 you hear, she's Jazz in her blood combinding Jazz with deep emotions. One of the best singers now at the age of 18. Please react to her recent Song Bad Valentine, the piano diaries 🎹 version 🚀
Hi Christopher, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 9 years old when she sang this song, she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956, she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the opera "Porky and Bess" You are at the very beginning and I hope that you will continue on the 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, you will be just as addicted to her voice as all the other fans (Angels), 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 also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only written around 200 covers but also 16 originals by herself as well as 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even legendary now and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to more reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 18 years old.
Sir, if we tell you that this girl/woman is a genius, we are not gushing! Because of her upbringing (dad is an international working engineer) she speaks Swedish, Norwegian, English, Persian Farsi, Japanese, a bit of French and German. The music instruments I am sure are the guitar and the piano. Today she also designs gowns for tall women, she herself is 6,1 ft. She has an uncanny instinct for music and even very seasoned musicians listen, when she gives advise. Elmar from Germany

Subscribed and looking forward to more Angelina in the future. Our barefoot little princess with her arrangement of a classic at only 9 years old. There is so much out there from Angelina waiting for you to discover. Peace and love from all her angels.
For I Put A Spell On You - Angelina was 9 years old - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes "her wishes" and it is read by the recording producer/engineer. 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 some of the same band members 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. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction! If you need any links to some of her songs, I would like to suggest you react or just look at these. I look forward to more reactions of Angelina. These start from an appearance in a studio at 6 years old, up to her present 18.

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. 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
Welcome to the Journey, The Jordan Journey. Angelina is a girl with whose dreams came true, with hard work and whole hearted dedication to her gift and humanity, she will go down in the hall of the greats. Angelina, by far, is one of the best storytellers there is. Her voice will hypnotize you, and only your soul can interpret.
This was the 1st video I saw of Angelina about a year and a half ago. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and seeing. I thought, I need to see more of this amazing young lady! The 2nd video was her appearance on "The View" at age 8 singing "Fly Me to the Moon". I was hooked and I've been listening to her pretty much every day since. The more you learn about her, the more you will love her. She's incredible. 🥰
She is awesome this is one of her best and she has dozens of her top ones she has done over 200 covers and originals enjoy your journey wild bill angel 😇 since 2016
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. 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”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack 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.
My granddaddy gave me my love of music and my eclectic taste. He would have loved this girl. And she for sure has an old soul and it pours out through her voice
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan. 1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html 2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed. 3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order: At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella. At age 12 There are two songs of note here: ‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note - ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her. At Age 16 she has three new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far. The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements. The current song that is number 1 on my playlist is Unchanged Melody th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html , this performance is at the Nobel Piece Prize presentation. She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records. Rusty Shackelford has a TH-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which is approaching 400,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.) The secon best song she has out there now is If I Were A Boy ((Piano Diaries by Toby Gad) th-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/w-d-xo.html The best song she has released is Bad Valentine (Piano Diaries} th-cam.com/video/6Ln9Tajsuzk/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to AJs world, from the start you will want to start a Playlist for her because we Angels (what she calls her fans) we will keep you informed of what you are missing. She has about 300 performances your going to want to see. She was 9 years old here.. look up all 4 of her 2014 NGT performances where she won the entire show at 8years old. Then you will and to see all 3 of her 2020AGT performances where Queen gave her the rights to her versuon of their song Bohemian Rhapsody. This is just a start
There are four young ladies I admire, love and follow, Angelina and Villarreal sisters (The Warning). All of them started their careers very young 10 years ago, Angelina 7, Alejandra 9, Paulina 12 and Daniela 14. But it was to the audience, all of them started before, around 6. There are many other coincidences between they. Of course, talent, dedication, hard work, humanity and empathy... and probably the big key to their success, their family environment, values and support.
The early videos are the ones I really like before she grew up and started all the quacking. I know the Angels will come at me hard for saying that, but they know it's true!
@roddiener1235 Yes! You've heard it. She has a beautiful tone, smooth but she started using this quack after Suspicious Minds. I don't know but think she equates it with old jazz.
darndit With apologies to Donald Duck, never in the history of music has there ever been any notation, term or reference to quacking. If you think it has any meaning in music, you're dreaming. You made it up. The only quacking is from you: an ignorant pretender of musical expertise.
Angelina was a few weeks past her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement and delivered this powerful performance. The musicians lovingly called her 'the boss' since she directed them for how she wanted to sing the song. She is 18 now and performed 16 originals.
*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 never learned the orphan's name but called her Princess. The orphan girl replied, "princesses live in castles, we live in ruins". Angelina titled her song about this story, "Princess of Ruins".
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.
Angelina the barefoot princess. You can't go wrong with her. She's in the category with Dimash and Ren. THE 3 GOATS in the world. Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments.
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 one of the youngest ever vocalists 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 jazz 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 is only her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album.
Here is a semi-chronological TH-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu
Here is an extended playlist of approximately 400 performances compiled and categorized, thanks to mosttodo10.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. 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 stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to 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.

The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend, now living in LA. (curent 18 Years old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe!
All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody!

-- Back To Black (remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video done with KORK orchestra and 23-year old Amy Winehouse’s music video. Amy and Angelina’s voices seem like duplicates of each other: th-cam.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/w-d-xo.html)

You saw her writing??? THAT WAS HER ARRANGEMENT of the whole thing (at age 9). OHH I forgot WELCOME to the world of the barefoot princess.
Dear Sir, you can trust my friends, who comment here. They know what they are doing.
Sincerely, Elmar from Germany
Great reaction and Welcome to The Best Rabbit Hole on the Planet, God Bless!
Hi Christopher,
even if you already got some comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard newbies comment" (SNC) - maybe you can find some for you new information in it ;-)
So, here is my SNC:
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 (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) based on the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956) - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html
or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.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 ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version: th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.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 😃
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 TH-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 th-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 😃 Best regards

Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! 
Angelina grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre.
She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it.
Angelina arranges, at least in part, if not in total, total control of all her performances. She has since she was 7-8 yrs old. She knows what she wants and gets exactly what she wants out of the artists and musicians she works with, many of them who are some of the most accomplished in the industry.
Angelina has the most beautiful deep voice which is always in tune and quite often in her lower register. I believe she is a Contralto which is rare for a girl especially at this age. You will soon realize she is always Pitch Perfect and always performs at a Master Class level. Her voice was powerful and beautiful at 8 yrs old and today at 18 it is phenomenal! Enjoy the ride. I will enjoy watching you.
“When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 You can see that in this performance and we are immediately drawn into this world with her.
Her first song was Whitney Houston 'I Will Always Love You'? at 18 months. Angelina is the Grand Master of Jazz! She could teach a Master Class at 8 years old.

Angelina Jordan - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz - Best Jazz singer in the world. Best singer in the world. ❤👣
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole!!
This young lady burst on the scene at Norway’s Got Talent in 2013-14 at the age of seven and turned eight midway through the competition. She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" followed by an Acapella performance of Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You". She was 7 years old for both performances. Her birthday is January 10th, so her next two performances she had turned 8 (barely). She performed Sony & Cher's "Bang, Bang" (made popular by Nancy Sinatra). She won the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". For these performances, please make sure you watch subtitled versions as they are in Norwegian and the judge's comments are very much worth reading!!
She performs barefoot because a promise she made to a poor Iranian girl when she was six years old. She met this girl who was weighing people for money. After talking to this girl about their dreams, the girl dreamed of being a doctor and Angelina told her dream of wanting to sing for the world. Angelina, at six, took off her favorite pair of boots and gave them to the girl as she had no shoes at all. She promised the girl that she would perform barefoot as long as there were shoeless children in the world! Twelve years later she still performs barefoot in honor of that promise - there are a couple times she is not barefoot for reasons like venue wouldn’t allow it or she’s brought on stage for a song or two and it’s not her headlined performance, etc. At age nine she published a book about the experience “Between Two Hearts” and became the youngest published author in Norway.
You will be inundated with comments and song suggestions from her fans who are her “Angels”. Her Angels are very passionate about her as many are father/mother to great-great-grandfather/grandmother age - and we all adore her as if she were one of our kids/grandkids.
You really can’t go wrong with any song of hers you choose. She always puts her mark on covers while paying absolute respect to the original. She has done her own arrangements since at least age 9 when she did “I Put a Spell on You” at 9yrs 2mos old. For that performance she comes out with a candle picturing the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (worth checking out his performance on Merv Griffin where he’s dressed like a voodoo doctor performing it). Next you’ll see her little hand writing a note to the music director who reads it and smiles. It’s last minute changes to the piano. The whole band was calling her “Boss” out of respect as she was professional and knew exactly what she wanted to accomplish.
You’ll get a great many requests for her songs and they are all great! I’m 58 years old and have never been captured by a voice like I have been by Angelina. I ‘found’ her in January of 2020 while watching young folks reacting to legends like The Righteous Brothers and this video thumbnail of a little (13 yo) girl sitting on a blue couch popped up and I decided to click it. This cover of “I’d Rather go Blind” absolutely blew my mind. Since that day I’ve barely listened to anyone else. I’ve listened to her for thousands of hours and watched hundreds of if not thousands of hours of reactions to her.
I’m going to recommend some songs that most people don’t immediately recommend. You’ll get lots of Bohemian Rhapsody, Bad Valentine, Suspicious Minds, Unchained Melody, If I Were a Boy and many others - they are ALL fantastic! But I’m going to pop in some recommendations that aren’t as often requested but are brilliant as always with her.
Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game - she slowed it down and made it even more emotional while playing the piano.
Alan Walker - Sunday & Singe Me to Sleep Live. Alan Walker is a Norwegian DJ and music producer who asked Angelina to open his “Coming Home” concert. She was just ten years old and sick. They told her she didn’t need to perform, but being the professional she is, she insisted on performing anyway. So you will hear a couple voice cracks from her being sick but she still did a beautiful job!
Rihanna - Stay - this is a cover she did in L.A. in a room in her house with guitar player Ivan Mendez. You can watch him get lost in her voice, there’s an interview with him on Alan Papier’s channel.
Elvis - Can’t Help Falling in Love - Another performance from a room in a house in Norway. The guitar player here is Egil Claussen and Alan Papier-mâché has an interview with him as well.
George Gershwin - Summertime (KORK) - KORK is a famous Norwegian Orchestra who has performed with Angelina several times. This a beautiful rendition of her Norway’s Got Talent winning cover song!
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Jazzy Michael Jackson Cover) - I have never been a fan of MJ, sorry but it is what it is. That said, Angelina completely reimagined this song in her Jazzy rendition.
Beatles - Yesterday - filmed in the same location as Billie Jean. This is a fantastic re-imaging as well.
Seoul Muse Festival Opened for Norah Jones at age 11. She sang “I Put a Spell on You” in front of 40,000 attendees. My understanding is that it was a last minute request as Norah was running late so Angelina is in ‘street clothes’. Her 7 song set at Muse is worth checking out as well - not sure if her set was performed earlier that day or another day of the festival. The big deal here, for me, is how unaffected an 11 year old is singing in front of a crowd that size!
With a growing library of over 200 covers by over 80 legends like Adele, Billie Holiday, Whitney Houston, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, John Legend, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Queen, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, etc. As I’ve said, anything she sings is worth a listen!
Angelina is currently collaborating with Toby Gad (co-writer “All of Me”, “If I were a Boy”, “Big Girls don’t Cry”, “Skyscraper”, among others) and Scott Hoying of Pentatonix to create new music!!
Welcome to Angelina’s world! Like the Hotel California - You can check out, but you can never leave once she puts her spell on you!!

Thank you so much for this reaction. My birthday is October 24, so I'm a Halloween baby. I love Angelina Jordan. Your charisma put me in the best mood. I've seen a lot of reactions to this particular song from her but your reaction by far is the best. Thank you. I haven't looked at your channel but if you haven't reacted to Dimash Kudaibergen could you please do that for me.? The song S.O.S I am singer 2017 China.
Welcome in the world of this magical singer, Angelina is sure my preferred singer, she is a kind of daydream that has been going on for 10 years now and continues to excite me. Now she is a girl of 18 old years and, if is possible, is even more amazing, this girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, she will find a way to transform them with her extraordinary musical intelligence. Thanks for the wonderful and amazed reaction, this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent and also a great musical masterpiece. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding for music in a splendid way, especially with these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤
Thee Miss. Angelina Jordan "Master Jazz & Pop Vocalist + Song Writer" The Musical Girl Who Walked to Hollywood - Barefoot.!!! OMG!
🎼🤗💞
Angelina is 9 years old in this video. Angelina started singing when she was 1 1/2 years of age and there is video of her at that age sitting in a bed with a microphone in her hand singing Whitney Houston's "I will always love you ". You need to go back to when Angelina was 6 years old in the studio singing and recording a Tom Jones classic " I who have nothing " and work your way to current day. Angelina is 18 years old now as of January 10th 2024.
🔥🧙🔥🧙🔥🧙🔥🇬🇧🏴
Enjoyed your reaction, and hope to see more Angelina on your channel. Just so you know, this rabbit hole is very deep, with well over 200 songs available to react to. Angelina is unlike any other singer out there, although often compared to Amy Winehouse , Adele and others, she is much more. She is forging her own lane and creating her own genre of jazzy pop. I've never heard anyone like her.
Angelina is Vocal Goddess in every way. I have been following her for 10 years. She truly is an amazing singer.
Well, welcome to the AJ Rabbit Hole! 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. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Adele 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 at age 7 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!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She 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. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024. Currently, she is working with 3 time Grammy winner songwriter/producer Toby Gad creating new original music for her to sing. Gad has co-wrote and produced such big hits like All Of Me by John Legend, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, If I Were A Boy by Beyonce, and Skyscraper by Demi Lovato and a number of others.
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 poor shoeless 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 sing for the whole world, 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!
Strong recommendation: Go through Angelina's performances mostly in chronological order. Perhaps starting with her audition on Norway's Got Talent (when she was 7.) She went on to win that whole competition.
I haven't even heard your whole reaction & I already love you.
A great reaction to Angelina Jordan she was only nine years old at the time of this performance. She has a huge catalogue of songs to react to because she is currently 18.
Diana Ankudinova as a new sound that you can read to called, Desert Rose
Welcome to the world of Angelina.
And I am looking for more. 😊
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
WOW, Please do more of her.
I started very young at one and half with Jazz " an answer from an eight year old girl 😂 you hear, she's Jazz in her blood combinding Jazz with deep emotions. One of the best singers now at the age of 18.
Please react to her recent Song Bad Valentine, the piano diaries 🎹 version 🚀
Hi Christopher, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 9 years old when she sang this song, she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956, she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the opera "Porky and Bess" You are at the very beginning and I hope that you will continue on the 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, you will be just as addicted to her voice as all the other fans (Angels), 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 also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only written around 200 covers but also 16 originals by herself as well as 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even legendary now and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to more reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 18 years old.
WELCOME BURN IT DOWN MEDIA U ARE IN FOR A BEAUTFUL RIDE ANGELINA IS OUR ANGEL 😇 ♥️ ❤️ 💖 ENJOY SHE'S AMAZING
🥰
Sir, if we tell you that this girl/woman is a genius, we are not gushing! Because of her upbringing (dad is an international working engineer) she speaks Swedish, Norwegian, English, Persian Farsi, Japanese, a bit of French and German. The music instruments I am sure are the guitar and the piano. Today she also designs gowns for tall women, she herself is 6,1 ft. She has an uncanny instinct for music and even very seasoned musicians listen, when she gives advise.
Elmar from Germany

Subscribed and looking forward to more Angelina in the future. Our barefoot little princess with her arrangement of a classic at only 9 years old. There is so much out there from Angelina waiting for you to discover. Peace and love from all her angels.
Happy Halloween!!!!! Angelina is a gem because she sparkles of talent each song she sings and her smile is truly priceless!
For I Put A Spell On You - Angelina was 9 years old - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes "her wishes" and it is read by the recording producer/engineer. 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 some of the same band members 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. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/w-d-xo.html
… Phenomenal!! … Absolutely world class!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Thanks for your enthusiastic reaction! Like the hat😊
Great reaction! If you need any links to some of her songs, I would like to suggest you react or just look at these. I look forward to more reactions of Angelina. These start from an appearance in a studio at 6 years old, up to her present 18. Subscribing for more Angelina reactions.

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
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
Welcome to the Journey, The Jordan Journey.
Angelina is a girl with whose dreams came true, with hard work and whole hearted dedication to her gift and humanity, she will go down in the hall of the greats.
Angelina, by far, is one of the best storytellers there is.
Her voice will hypnotize you, and only your soul can interpret.
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole!!
This was the 1st video I saw of Angelina about a year and a half ago. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and seeing. I thought, I need to see more of this amazing young lady! The 2nd video was her appearance on "The View" at age 8 singing "Fly Me to the Moon". I was hooked and I've been listening to her pretty much every day since. The more you learn about her, the more you will love her. She's incredible. 🥰
She is awesome this is one of her best and she has dozens of her top ones she has done over 200 covers and originals enjoy your journey wild bill angel 😇 since 2016
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina.
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”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack 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.
9 yrs old and her own arrangement
My granddaddy gave me my love of music and my eclectic taste. He would have loved this girl. And she for sure has an old soul and it pours out through her voice

Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html
At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html
At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html
At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html
On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her.
At Age 16 she has three new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
The current song that is number 1 on my playlist is Unchanged Melody th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html , this performance is at the Nobel Piece Prize presentation.
She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
Rusty Shackelford has a TH-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which is approaching 400,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
The secon best song she has out there now is If I Were A Boy ((Piano Diaries by Toby Gad) th-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/w-d-xo.html
The best song she has released is Bad Valentine (Piano Diaries} th-cam.com/video/6Ln9Tajsuzk/w-d-xo.html
I’m a new sub and I’m burning through your reactions. All of her Norways got talent performance is worth watching but my fav is bang bang.
Welcome to AJs world, from the start you will want to start a Playlist for her because we Angels (what she calls her fans) we will keep you informed of what you are missing. She has about 300 performances your going to want to see. She was 9 years old here.. look up all 4 of her 2014 NGT performances where she won the entire show at 8years old. Then you will and to see all 3 of her 2020AGT performances where Queen gave her the rights to her versuon of their song Bohemian Rhapsody. This is just a start
Thank you for your reaction. I found it very strange that you never mention the fact of the artist age because she is so young - 9 yo.
😀😀😀😀😀
Just open Pandora box!❤
There are four young ladies I admire, love and follow, Angelina and Villarreal sisters (The Warning).
All of them started their careers very young 10 years ago, Angelina 7, Alejandra 9, Paulina 12 and Daniela 14. But it was to the audience, all of them started before, around 6.
There are many other coincidences between they. Of course, talent, dedication, hard work, humanity and empathy... and probably the big key to their success, their family environment, values and support.
You've only just begun......
You are hearing, but are you listening? I feel you are more focused on making a show than on listening to the music.
Just have a strong feeling this is NOT the first time you hear Angelina. So...this ia a bit fake...riding the hipe...collecting clicks...
Fake reaction obviously...sorry
The early videos are the ones I really like before she grew up and started all the quacking. I know the Angels will come at me hard for saying that, but they know it's true!
'quacking'?
@roddiener1235 Yes! You've heard it. She has a beautiful tone, smooth but she started using this quack after Suspicious Minds. I don't know but think she equates it with old jazz.
Nonsense I want an example. Video and minute mark. ❤👣
@@scottdarden3091 Nonsense I want an example. Video and minute mark. ❤👣
darndit With apologies to Donald Duck, never in the history of music has there ever been any notation, term or reference to quacking. If you think it has any meaning in music, you're dreaming. You made it up. The only quacking is from you: an ignorant pretender of musical expertise.
