Yes, you messed up the barefoot thing - severely. The story as it goes from how it was told originally is like this. The family Astar was on vacation in her mother's home country, Iran when Angelina was six years old. Walking through city center they met a street vendor girl - pretty poor I'm sure. As the talk goes this street vendor happen to compliment Angelina for her shoes. Angelina gave her the shoes and asked her what's the dream and she is told it is to be a doctor, but as she realized - that's never going to happen. Angelina already knew at the time that she wanted to be a super star singer, but this dream had yet to be realized. Angelina tells her never to give up hope. When they split up they both agreed not to forget each other. When Angelina gets back to Norway, she decide her way to remember is by singing barefoot when performing before an audience.
@@TH-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too Now see you got it a little wrong yourself. The little girl was an orphan who was weighing people for what she could get to help her brothers and sisters to get food. When Angelina got ready to leave the little girl said, 'you will go away from here and forget all about me.' Angelina then said, 'every time I perform I will sing barefoot, so that I never forget you, and to tell people that millions of people go without shoes and that she would perform without shoes until everyone has them . So originally Angelina went barefoot as a signal to that little girl that Angelina still remembered her. Then it grew into a way for lots of people to be reminded that millions of people live with out having shoes.
@@davidcochran6291 No, I didn't get it wrong. I'm in possession of the original interview when the story first being told in a collaboration between Angelina and her mother.
@@TH-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too I always defer to facts and I'm not sure I ever ran across that interview. So I tip my cap to you and will adjust my information to reflect this. I've been reading stories about this for 5 years and I confess I will tend to romanticize details if given any wiggle room. So again thanks for the update. Is it possible to give me the link to that interview? Thanks for considering my request.
her and her grandma were out for a walk and they ran into a young homeless girl without any shoes. Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the little. She swore from that day that she would not wear shoes for her shows until all the children had shoes. She supports many charities that provide clothing for children. A very young philanthropist
Angelina is known as the barefoot princess as at age 6, she gave her own shoes (shoes Angelina liked a lot) to a 6-7 year old street vendor in the Middle East. She wrote a book about the encounter, which makes her the youngest published author in Norway. In her own words, Angelina speaks about this encounter on NRK TV "Lindmo" with English CC (th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html ). She has committed herself to never wear footwear in her performances, until all children had shoes to wear. She's been extremely active in humanitarian efforts, helping to raise tens of millions of euros for those at risk.
Hi guys! thanks for reaction to Angelina. For current age matters just have to know she was born on January 10th 2006. See you in next reacts! Peace & Hugfs from Barcelona - SPAIN
Angelina Jordan is a Norwegian singer who rose to fame in 2014, as an 8-year-old, by winning the reality TV show Norway’s Got Talent. Her performance in the competition’s audition round, where she had sung Billie Holiday’s version of Gloomy Sunday that was composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress in 1933, had gone viral and received global press …
I have heard about this young lady, but until now, have not been blessed with hearing her sing. I look forward to learning more and hearing more from her. She is incredible.
This is my first time in your channel. Angelina is a big favorite of mine too. I love voices that are different and original. She's definitely gifted and a very special human being. Like an old soul, I might say. But this time I would like to recommend one of my favorite groups. I'm talking about the Korean band BTS. Have you ever listened to them? Would you consider giving them a chance? I'm sure you won't be disappointed, they're a group of 7 South Korean young men. Truly talented, very well trained singers with a surprising versatility. Among other things, they sing, write, compose and produce a lot of their music, their songs have deep meanings and talk about important social issues. They are young but they've been around for 8 years now. They are very professional artists, great performers with angelical voices and quite enchanting. They do a lot of genres so I guess you'll find a song that fits your personal taste. Here are the links for 3 of their songs: Life goes on, a song of hope during these pandemic times: th-cam.com/video/-5q5mZbe3V8/w-d-xo.html . Black swan, th-cam.com/video/0lapF4DQPKQ/w-d-xo.html, and a cover of Coldplay's Fix you, th-cam.com/video/SMkLdYK-9IE/w-d-xo.html. I thank you in advance.
Angelina appears comfortable in any genre but at heart, she's a very skillful jazz singer. That colours all her performances. This may be my favourite Angelina performance. It's perfect in every way; the band, the set-up, the sound, and her. Perfect.
This performance always impresses me for being impeccable, the voice, the timbre, the lightness and the extreme professionalism of a 10-year-old girl. The fact that Angelina accompanied by this high-level band and clearly she commands everything with her vocals, it's a precocity ... genius.
I just find it most interesting when other reactors to AJ make the statement that she knows how to pick a song that suits her voice. At that point you understand they have not explored her other performances, if they had, they would know she has no boundaries. AJ takes any song, no matter what the genre and make it her own.
She's stand in the middle of the stage like in her living room doing serious homework, so sit back I'll be done soon! and the timing with the band, really!
Up in time, back in time, anytime, Angelina is great all the time. Thank you for another reaction of Angelina the genre queen. Thumbs up you two, super job.
I'll add to the shoe story. She was 6, in Iran, it was cold, she met a little girl who was a street vendor and talked to her, probably in Farsi (Iranian). She ended up giving her her beloved green boots. She then went back to Norway and wrote in her diary (yes, this 6 year old had a diary) that when she did this a door opened in her heart and she climbed a stairway to heaven. "It is such great thing to help another person." After that she vowed to perform barefoot to remind us that there are children in need. She has since raised millions for kids' charities. She then wrote a book about this, illustrated by her grandmother, and became the youngest published author in Norway. Just your average 6 year old--genius.
At 10 she had been singing for 8 years. She's an expert and arranges all her own music. She was introduced to jazz and blues by her grandmother at a very young age and she immersed herself in that. It is her most basic foundation and it comes out in most everything she does. Her "Leaked" demo song, I'm Still Holding Out For You, also done at 10 is phenomenal.
This beautiful young lady with the golden voice speaks 4 languages, writes, arrange her music and now 15yrs old has signed with Republic Records having full control of every aspect of her music she creates.
Great reaction Tom ! Your wife has an excellent understanding of how young artists are influenced by what they hear and they tend to adapt their singing styles around that ! Angelina from the time she was born was heavily influenced by jazz that was played in her household ! That's why she is able to sing this style so effortlessly because it's natural to her ! Not to many young artists will sing jazz I guarantee that ! At 10 yrs old Angelina is a season veteran when it comes to performing ! She is confident in her own skin and it shows ! At 15 her voice is so mature that you she can sing so many different genres naturally and effortlessly ! Thank you for your continued support of our barefoot princess it is so much appreciated ! Keep enjoying the A J journey and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thanks for your delightful reactions with Angelina. This is definitely one of her best covers, for me. That at the age of 10 only, on stage, so small and young and positioned right between an excellent band and the audience, she is able to calmly face the song and pour such vocal and emotional power into it, is absolutely incredible. Her particular depth of voice, her personal reading about her how to set the interpretation, the wonderful use of vibrato and the ending of her interpretation are exceptional, for intuition and execution. You can choose any of her interpretations, they are all fantastic and completely different, every time she takes a good song, no matter the author or the genre, and rebuilds it in her way ... builds a new masterpiece.💛 🧡 ❤️
She has so much experience already. She was 6 when she for the first time recorded I who have nothing. She´s now 16 when she sang I´m still holding out to you. That gives you one perspective of her as a singer. Because she has always delivered through these 10 years. And to listen to her with her voice that always is "in tune", it´s strong, she´s famous for her typical growls and vibrato. My first reaction when I heard, I put a spell on you. Was like so many else. "what I hear and watch is not physically possible". But now I have taken a more humble approach to A J. She will shine like a beacon over the years in the future. I only do hope people want to tare her apart like the music industry did with Avicii.
Hi, AJ was 6 yo, when traveling with her mommy in Iran, the home country of grandma, there she met a barefoot girl with scars on her feet, It was bittercold winter and that girl, about 7 yo, was weighing people for a few coppers, so she could feed her younger siblings. Her mom and the older brother had succumbed to a disease. Very long story short, Angelina gave the girl her shoes and told her to NEVER give up. AJ had a sort of realevation and after the girl told her she would pray for AJ every day, AJ vowed to go on stage barefoot until every child wears shoes. AJ gathered between 20 to 30 MILLION Dollars since then for charity. Stay save and healthy. German greetings.
Angelina, for something completely different one of five versions of somertime 2016 with a full orchestra and so slowed down. This displayes her versatility.
As you are doing reactions to Angelina's music, please respect this young artist by including the links to her original song and her YT channel to support her. Love your reactions to the barefoot Angel and I am sure her millions of fans would appreciate the links on your channel. Thank you. BTW, yes she has grown...6 foot now at 15
Loved the reaction! Recommend her The show must go on cover (13), and her very own song Million Miles (14, black and white studio version) which she wrote to her grandpa who passed away.
Angelina has written a book about her childhood travels where she describes the small girl in Iran. She is also the youngest person in Norway to publish.
The shoe thing, she was 6 years old in the Middle East and met a little girl on the street. Said she wouldn’t wear shoes while performing until all children had shoes. She gave the little girl the shoes she was wearing. English is her third language out of five, yet she has no accent whatever when speaking English.
Angelina has so much talent it is barely believable and the way she performs this song at that young age to total perfection is incredible. The way she ended this song was absolutely magnificent and with such ease. I saw your first reaction when Angelina sang Heal the World and it was great to see how shocked you were by Angelinas amazing performance. Thank you for your lovely reactions
In short she came across a shoeless girl in Iran and after a conversation she gave the girl her shoes..she vowed to perform barefoot until all kids have shoes to wear..she has raised millions for charity and has helped feed the homeless in LA. Please read her audio book Mellom To Hjerte...Between Two Heatts wher she talks about the meeting.
She's the voice and person that best represents Earth if aliens ever land and we need a representative...... beautiful, humble, and with a universal cosmic consciousness of caring that elevates use all through her sublime voice. A gift for us all......
She really is the complete package. She is a good and generous person, a hard working professional/artist, family member, activist. I could have kept going on, but bottom line, she has done more for others and the world of song than I can fathom at the ripe old age of 15. Thanks for the great reaction and commentary.
As a young child on vacation she met a little shoeless street urchin. Angelina took off her favorite shoes and gave them to that little girl and vowed to perform barefoot until every poor child in the world had shoes. She then published a book about the incident. She is an amazing person. I loved the reactions, the wife is a keeper Tom.💖
@@nyima04011 I did not mean to say "orphan" because I don't know if she was an orphan. I do not consider the word "urchin" to be disrespectful, it is colorful and I meant it affectionately. Perhaps you could widen your vocabulary to include that implication of the word. It is a word, I might add, that might come up in conversation once or twice in one's whole life. So you chose this one time to take offence.
@@leechap3 Perhaps it's time to widen your understanding of the words you use. "Urchin | Definition of Urchin by Merriam-Webster English Language Learners Definition of urchin old-fashioned : a usually poor and dirty child who annoys people or causes minor trouble." It's not a word people use affectionately.
@@nyima04011 It's an archaic word that basically nobody uses any more. But I assure you, people do use it affectionately. I have heard it used that way, and I did. I am not opposed in principle to using words carefully to avoid giving offense, (pc speech) however I find this criticism to be petty. To be quick to take offense is to give offense.
Even at 7 in Norway's Got Talent she was barefoot. She was only six when she gave her favourtite shoes to a little girl who had none and she never wear shoes when performing. She speaks a number of languages, Her grandmother is an Iranian artist and her grandfather was Japanese. Her father is Swedish. She also plays a number of instruments, and she arranges all her songs. Band members call her Boss.
Please forgive me if I have left this message before but it is pertinent to your channel. As a newer subscriber, I thoroughly enjoyed your insightful reaction and look forward to future videos. As you may be aware from your own channel, artists' success online is based upon increasing views.The relationship between reactor and artist is mutual and neither can exist without the other. Because you admire and respect the performers in your reactions, the solution is to consider promoting both of you equally. Thank you if you are already doing so, but I suggest posting links to the artists' original videos as well as their official channels, alongside with yours! Furthermore, and most importantly, please make the effort to verbally encourage viewers to click the links and to like and subscribe to both of your sites! Most reactors do a great job of vocally self promoting, but the artists deserve a win-win team effort as well! Thank you for embracing Angelina's dream to sing for the world to spread love and peace. ANGELINA JORDAN OFFICIAL CHANNEL th-cam.com/users/AngelinaJordanOfficial
She speaks 5 languages...Norwegian, English, Japanese, Farsi, and one more...(German/French)? Someone will let you know. She was also Norway's youngest published author at age of 9.
A wonderful professional arrangement. Please react to her latest official vid of 7th Heaven. She created a new genre JazzPop, full of happyness and hope. She announced yesterday a new concert very soon, maybe in Las Vegas
you almost got the story: She sings barefoot because when she was traveling through a poor country when she saw a little girl like her without shoes and she gave her the ones she was wearing. She won't wear shoes when she sings until all children have shoes. :)
@@fakhrussalhin3149 With all the restrictions that the US has on them they are on the poor side. They are not complaining because they know the US is involved. I'm not saying they are miserable either. Poor people are very charming and friendly. You can call it under developed but that is almost synonymous of poor. Still, I think is sad that not everybody can go and visit Iran and their culture.
@@fernandof.2225 officially they are put under "upper middle income" group. But it is the distribution of income and inflation that makes more difference for citizens. Yes the American put sanctions on them for decades and that's the only reason an oil rich country cannot sell their produce. the only thing they can export is oil in exchange of food if I'm not wrong
@@fakhrussalhin3149 I don't doubt there is a middle class. My country, Peru, has a middle and rich class. But you drive 20 minutes and you could see houses built in sand. I was on the lucky class but it wasn't fair. It was funny (not) when there were voices that maybe 200,000 people, maybe more, were going to invade the rich areas when they got tired of eating chicken food (yes, there was a point in time where people could afford chicken food only). It didn't happen but it could have happened.
She met a young shoeless girl in Africa, whose feet were of course messed up & she gave her her shoes. She vowed never to wear shoes while performing until all kids in the world had a pair.
Bernard, Middle east, according to her interview at 10yrs old about her book...but she said it could have been anywhere. Since her grandmother is Persian, they were most likely in Iran.
To hear current songs at her age 15, you can try the following A million miles... Original 7th Heaven music video... Original All I Ask by Adele... Cover Heal the World by Michael Jackson... Cover You cannot go wrong with any of these, but I would recommend Heal the World to start because it is so appropriate for today's world.
Hi there. And thanks a lot for yet another great reaction to Angelina. Yes, she is 15 now ( birthday January 10th). If you wanna hear what she sounds like right now, do a reaction to her "Million Miles", which she wrote to her grandfather who had recently passed away. Just remember to bring some tissues. Here's the link : m.th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html Much love from Norway ❤️❤️❤️
Essa garota é um fenomeno tão grande que aos 10 anos de idade ja pode ser considerada uma das melhores cantoras da atualidade!!! Uma voz única em uma cantora perfeita...
This is a song from a British musical in early 1960ies. There exists many versions of the song. AJ sings the Awicii verdion. His version was used for a Volvo commercial were he mixed 9 year old AJ into his existing version.
SORRY people, me again, info: AJ STUDIES music ant the music academies in Oslo and LA since age 4 (FOUR). She wanted earlier, but they accepted her when four. Studying music means all genres including clasics like opera. As you talked about her language, GRIN, she speaks fluently, Norse, Swedish, English, Farsi and Japanese. German and French she knows a few words. Her music instruments are the piano/keyboard and the guitar, it is said, that she also playes the flute and the violin. So this young lady with a tremendous amount of IQ is a genius in more than one way, and no, this are facts. YES I am a fanboy. LOL. Bless you and your family, German greetings.
Just to let you know, she gave the shoes off her own feet, one of her favorite pairs, when she was 6 to another girl her own age who didn’t have shoes. She also wrote a book about that experience making her the youngest published author in Norway. She not only sang at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, she has raised and given huge sums of money to children’s causes and charities. She does nothing you would expect from a person her age!
No Shoes, Angelina’s Mother is from Norway, Daddy Swedish, Granny Irani and Grandpa was Japanese, so English is her fifth language because if she was to become a singing star she had t0 sing in English. Around age 6 the family lived in Iran for six months and one day AJ saw a homeless girl, her age, weighing people on a bathroom scale for whatever coins they would give her. AJ talked to her for a while and the girl told her she had wanted to become a Doctor. AJ told her to not give up hope. AJ had on her most favorite pair of Teal color boots but gave them to her anyway. The girl was reluctant to take them but eventually did saying she would pray everyday for AJ and all the kids with no shoes. AJ told her that when she saw her singing with no shoes, she would know that AJ had not forgot about her and would do whatever she could for the other children. When AJ got back to Norway she wrote a book about it. Her Granny, a Prodigy herself Illustrated the book and AJ became the youngest published arthor in Norways history at age 6.
FUN FACT! In light of her genius, and her clear understanding of what she wants from everyone she's working with, she's playfully called the 'Little Boss'.😆 Her quite recent cover of 'My Funny Valentine' is sublime! Seriously 😲 th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html FYI, she turned 16 in January!😊✌
She came across a little girl that didn't have shoes when she was 5 or 6 and gave her her new shoes and said she would sing without shoes until all kids had shoes.
You have no idea. At 15 her voice is phenomenal and is still maturing. Her technical skill is masterful. Everything is so effortless for her which means she works very hard on every single note she sings until it is absolutely perfect. Should hear her covering “When You Believe” by Whitney Houston ft. Mariah Carey th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html

There is no repeating or mimicking with Angelina. She makes every song here own.
Her timing and phrasing are impeccable, on top of everything else...
Tom, you appreciate how good she is. Sara, your impassivity at her performance and especially at her last run was startling to me.
Just saw this, Angelina's voice has been touched by the soul of God.
She is now world class
Absolutely magical !!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic !!!!!!!!
Incomparable !!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you done fly me to the moon yet she was 8 when she sang this and of course she nails it.
her and her grandma were out for a walk and they ran into a young homeless girl without any shoes. Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the little. She swore from that day that she would not wear shoes for her shows until all the children had shoes. She supports many charities that provide clothing for children. A very young philanthropist
She is building bridges between generations
One of the highest points in my 75-year-old life is the ability to experience Angelina a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Don't let her full you she's really 60 years old--- she just looks good. An old jazz singer still singing in the lounge still great
It was her grandmother's home of Iran... Her grandmother is a very know artist.

When I watch this girl it feels like I wasted my childhood 😂
Hi guys! thanks for reaction to Angelina. For current age matters just have to know she was born on January 10th 2006.
See you in next reacts!

I love listening to your wife. She is so soft and sincere and honest in her speaking!
It's about Angelina, no one else, lol. She's the best
I have heard about this young lady, but until now, have not been blessed with hearing her sing. I look forward to learning more and hearing more from her. She is incredible.
Check out her performance on Norway’s Got Talent of “Summertime” when she was 8 years old. Mind blowing.
Oh you have no idea. Welcome to Angelina's world.
This is my first time in your channel. Angelina is a big favorite of mine too. I love voices that are different and original. She's definitely gifted and a very special human being. Like an old soul, I might say. But this time I would like to recommend one of my favorite groups. I'm talking about the Korean band BTS. Have you ever listened to them? Would you consider giving them a chance? I'm sure you won't be disappointed, they're a group of 7 South Korean young men. Truly talented, very well trained singers with a surprising versatility. Among other things, they sing, write, compose and produce a lot of their music, their songs have deep meanings and talk about important social issues. They are young but they've been around for 8 years now. They are very professional artists, great performers with angelical voices and quite enchanting. They do a lot of genres so I guess you'll find a song that fits your personal taste. Here are the links for 3 of their songs:

We're all "feeling good," now. Because we just listened to Angelina sing...
Thanks from Italy🇮🇹😊
Angelina,The Barefoot Princess, English is her 3rd language. She leaned to read English from around 6, read the lyrics while singing. Incredible.
That ending is awesome ❤ A 10 year old did that.. the control and effortless is crazy 👍❤
:-)) Love and welcome to AJ

Angelina has helped raise millions for charities.
Excellent reaction, glad you had the better half with you it was very enjoyable! God Bless!
All children over there are taught English in school and speak it very well. Most of the people speak more than 3 languages over there.

exactly. thx a lot.
I have known her and the family since she was a baby. She could sing entire songs at eighteen months of age.
I wish I could control my mouth, seems Angelina keeps my mouth wide open
I suggest watching her today, you guys might react to All I Ask, Adele cover.
Great reaction. Loved your comments and observations. Keep the AJ reactions coming. Thanks.
At 10 she had been singing for 8 years. She's an expert and arranges all her own music. She was introduced to jazz and blues by her grandmother at a very young age and she immersed herself in that. It is her most basic foundation and it comes out in most everything she does. Her "Leaked" demo song, I'm Still Holding Out For You, also done at 10 is phenomenal.
Just bring Sarah to moore of the AJ reactions, please!
Much Love 💙💛💙
At 10 yo I have no words to say she's incredible

That at the age of 10 only, on stage, so small and young and positioned right between an excellent band and the audience, she is able to calmly face the song and pour such vocal and emotional power into it, is absolutely incredible. Her particular depth of voice, her personal reading about her how to set the interpretation, the wonderful use of vibrato and the ending of her interpretation are exceptional, for intuition and execution. You can choose any of her interpretations, they are all fantastic and completely different, every time she takes a good song, no matter the author or the genre, and rebuilds it in her way ... builds a new masterpiece.💛 🧡 ❤️
She has so much experience already. She was 6 when she for the first time recorded I who have nothing. She´s now 16 when she sang I´m still holding out to you. That gives you one perspective of her as a singer. Because she has always delivered through these 10 years. And to listen to her with her voice that always is "in tune", it´s strong, she´s famous for her typical growls and vibrato. My first reaction when I heard, I put a spell on you. Was like so many else. "what I hear and watch is not physically possible". But now I have taken a more humble approach to A J. She will shine like a beacon over the years in the future. I only do hope people want to tare her apart like the music industry did with Avicii.
She have said in early interview that she NEVER gets nervous, as she go into her own beautiful world while performing. I belive her...
Hi, AJ was 6 yo, when traveling with her mommy in Iran, the home country of grandma, there she met a barefoot girl with scars on her feet, It was bittercold winter and that girl, about 7 yo, was weighing people for a few coppers, so she could feed her younger siblings. Her mom and the older brother had succumbed to a disease. Very long story short, Angelina gave the girl her shoes and told her to NEVER give up. AJ had a sort of realevation and after the girl told her she would pray for AJ every day, AJ vowed to go on stage barefoot until every child wears shoes. AJ gathered between 20 to 30 MILLION Dollars since then for charity. Stay save and healthy. German greetings.
Tom Tuffnuts thanks for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world!🧡🧡🧡
Angelina, for something completely different one of five versions of somertime 2016 with a full orchestra and so slowed down. This displayes her versatility.
Welcome back Sarah. Love it when you are able to join the Angelina's journey with Tom. Thank you both so much for your reactions.
Best description - so Bad Ass!
As you are doing reactions to Angelina's music, please respect this young artist by including the links to her original song and her YT channel to support her. Love your reactions to the barefoot Angel and I am sure her millions of fans would appreciate the links on your channel. Thank you. BTW, yes she has grown...6 foot now at 15
ANGELINA...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loved the reaction!
Recommend her The show must go on cover (13), and her very own song Million Miles (14, black and white studio version) which she wrote to her grandpa who passed away.
Angelina has written a book about her childhood travels where she describes the small girl in Iran. She is also the youngest person in Norway to publish.
Just beautiful.
She’s a wonder, and even younger than ten she arranged her music which is amazing!
Thanks guys❤️
The shoe thing, she was 6 years old in the Middle East and met a little girl on the street. Said she wouldn’t wear shoes while performing until all children had shoes. She gave the little girl the shoes she was wearing. English is her third language out of five, yet she has no accent whatever when speaking English.
Angelina é fenomenal
She's been singing jazz since she was 1-1/2. She mentions this on The View when she
was 8 years old.
Love it
Angelina has so much talent it is barely believable and the way she performs this song at that young age to total perfection is incredible. The way she ended this song was absolutely magnificent and with such ease. I saw your first reaction when Angelina sang Heal the World and it was great to see how shocked you were by Angelinas amazing performance. Thank you for your lovely reactions
Yes her voice is only growing stronger each year. Vocal coaches say for at least ten more years before she even reaches her vocal peak.
In short she came across a shoeless girl in Iran and after a conversation she gave the girl her shoes..she vowed to perform barefoot until all kids have shoes to wear..she has raised millions for charity and has helped feed the homeless in LA. Please read her audio book Mellom To Hjerte...Between Two Heatts wher she talks about the meeting.
I'm really glad to see her more coherent this time
She's the voice and person that best represents Earth if aliens ever land and we need a representative...... beautiful, humble, and with a universal cosmic consciousness of caring that elevates use all through her sublime voice. A gift for us all......
Haha great comment
She really is the complete package. She is a good and generous person, a hard working professional/artist, family member, activist. I could have kept going on, but bottom line, she has done more for others and the world of song than I can fathom at the ripe old age of 15. Thanks for the great reaction and commentary.
As a young child on vacation she met a little shoeless street urchin. Angelina took off her favorite shoes and gave them to that little girl and vowed to perform barefoot until every poor child in the world had shoes. She then published a book about the incident. She is an amazing person. I loved the reactions, the wife is a keeper Tom.💖
You meant to say, "orphan", I believe... Please don't be so disrespectful of human beings dealing with poverty. Thank you.
@@nyima04011 I did not mean to say "orphan" because I don't know if she was an orphan. I do not consider the word "urchin" to be disrespectful, it is colorful and I meant it affectionately. Perhaps you could widen your vocabulary to include that implication of the word. It is a word, I might add, that might come up in conversation once or twice in one's whole life. So you chose this one time to take offence.
@@leechap3 Perhaps it's time to widen your understanding of the words you use. "Urchin | Definition of Urchin by Merriam-Webster
English Language Learners Definition of urchin old-fashioned : a usually poor and dirty child who annoys people or causes minor trouble." It's not a word people use affectionately.
@@nyima04011 It's an archaic word that basically nobody uses any more. But I assure you, people do use it affectionately. I have heard it used that way, and I did. I am not opposed in principle to using words carefully to avoid giving offense, (pc speech) however I find this criticism to be petty. To be quick to take offense is to give offense.
Nice fun going on here.
Even at 7 in Norway's Got Talent she was barefoot. She was only six when she gave her favourtite shoes to a little girl who had none and she never wear shoes when performing. She speaks a number of languages, Her grandmother is an Iranian artist and her grandfather was Japanese. Her father is Swedish. She also plays a number of instruments, and she arranges all her songs. Band members call her Boss.
Please forgive me if I have left this message before but it is pertinent to your channel. As a newer subscriber, I thoroughly enjoyed your insightful reaction and look forward to future videos. As you may be aware from your own channel, artists' success online is based upon increasing views.The relationship between reactor and artist is mutual and neither can exist without the other. Because you admire and respect the performers in your reactions, the solution is to consider promoting both of you equally. Thank you if you are already doing so, but I suggest posting links to the artists' original videos as well as their official channels, alongside with yours! Furthermore, and most importantly, please make the effort to verbally encourage viewers to click the links and to like and subscribe to both of your sites! Most reactors do a great job of vocally self promoting, but the artists deserve a win-win team effort as well! Thank you for embracing Angelina's dream to sing for the world to spread love and peace.

She speaks 5 languages...Norwegian, English, Japanese, Farsi, and one more...(German/French)? Someone will let you know. She was also Norway's youngest published author at age of 9.
She definitely knows some Swedish too since her father is from Sweden.
Thank you!
🔥✌🤓👍💯👏
Pure empathy was the reason for performing barefoot.
This lead to "grounding", creating more empathy.
The ultimate feedback loop.
She’s raised mom than 130million for children’s charities, that’s commitment
Thats amazing!
A wonderful professional arrangement. Please react to her latest official vid of 7th Heaven. She created a new genre JazzPop, full of happyness and hope.
She announced yesterday a new concert very soon, maybe in Las Vegas
you almost got the story: She sings barefoot because when she was traveling through a poor country when she saw a little girl like her without shoes and she gave her the ones she was wearing. She won't wear shoes when she sings until all children have shoes. :)
Iran is not exactly a "Poor" country. they are under developed but not poor
@@fakhrussalhin3149 With all the restrictions that the US has on them they are on the poor side. They are not complaining because they know the US is involved. I'm not saying they are miserable either. Poor people are very charming and friendly. You can call it under developed but that is almost synonymous of poor. Still, I think is sad that not everybody can go and visit Iran and their culture.
@@fernandof.2225 officially they are put under "upper middle income" group. But it is the distribution of income and inflation that makes more difference for citizens. Yes the American put sanctions on them for decades and that's the only reason an oil rich country cannot sell their produce. the only thing they can export is oil in exchange of food if I'm not wrong
@@fakhrussalhin3149 I don't doubt there is a middle class. My country, Peru, has a middle and rich class. But you drive 20 minutes and you could see houses built in sand. I was on the lucky class but it wasn't fair. It was funny (not) when there were voices that maybe 200,000 people, maybe more, were going to invade the rich areas when they got tired of eating chicken food (yes, there was a point in time where people could afford chicken food only). It didn't happen but it could have happened.
She met a young shoeless girl in Africa, whose feet were of course messed up & she gave her her shoes. She vowed never to wear shoes while performing until all kids in the world had a pair.
Bernard, Middle east, according to her interview at 10yrs old about her book...but she said it could have been anywhere. Since her grandmother is Persian, they were most likely in Iran.
To hear current songs at her age 15, you can try the following
A million miles... Original
7th Heaven music video... Original
All I Ask by Adele... Cover
Heal the World by Michael Jackson... Cover
You cannot go wrong with any of these, but I would recommend Heal the World to start because it is so appropriate for today's world.
GUAUUUUUU QUE VOZ ÚNICA..QUÉ NIÑA MAS MARAVILLOSA ES INCREÍBLEMENTE TALENTOSA.....FELICIDADES ANGELINA QUE CONTINÚEN TUS ÉXITOS 😇👣💯💯💥🥰👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Here is a chronological playlist of 145 songs spanning ages 6 to 15!

Hi there. And thanks a lot for yet another great reaction to Angelina. Yes, she is 15 now ( birthday January 10th). If you wanna hear what she sounds like right now, do a reaction to her "Million Miles", which she wrote to her grandfather who had recently passed away. Just remember to bring some tissues. Here's the link : m.th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html
Much love from Norway ❤️❤️❤️
Essa garota é um fenomeno tão grande que aos 10 anos de idade ja pode ser considerada uma das melhores cantoras da atualidade!!!
Uma voz única em uma cantora perfeita...
Take your wife to hear her at 7 doing a cover of “Bang Bang”, a Cher cover. Also, “Summertime”.
This is a song from a British musical in early 1960ies. There exists many versions of the song. AJ sings the Awicii verdion. His version was used for a Volvo commercial were he mixed 9 year old AJ into his existing version.
Next you should react to Glooming Sunday and Summertime
Check out her journey on Norway's got talent, age 7 -8. Gloomy Sunday, I'm a Fool to Love You, Bang, Bang, and Summertime.
SORRY people, me again, info: AJ STUDIES music ant the music academies in Oslo and LA since age 4 (FOUR). She wanted earlier, but they accepted her when four. Studying music means all genres including clasics like opera. As you talked about her language, GRIN, she speaks fluently, Norse, Swedish, English, Farsi and Japanese. German and French she knows a few words. Her music instruments are the piano/keyboard and the guitar, it is said, that she also playes the flute and the violin. So this young lady with a tremendous amount of IQ is a genius in more than one way, and no, this are facts. YES I am a fanboy. LOL. Bless you and your family, German greetings.
Great reaction...at end of video is a picture of her last release age 15....this is 3rd of same song, really awesome...you should react to it...: )
Just to let you know, she gave the shoes off her own feet, one of her favorite pairs, when she was 6 to another girl her own age who didn’t have shoes. She also wrote a book about that experience making her the youngest published author in Norway. She not only sang at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, she has raised and given huge sums of money to children’s causes and charities.
She does nothing you would expect from a person her age!
No Shoes,
Angelina’s Mother is from Norway, Daddy Swedish, Granny Irani and Grandpa was Japanese, so English is her fifth language because if she was to become a singing star she had t0 sing in English. Around age 6 the family lived in Iran for six months and one day AJ saw a homeless girl, her age, weighing people on a bathroom scale for whatever coins they would give her. AJ talked to her for a while and the girl told her she had wanted to become a Doctor. AJ told her to not give up hope. AJ had on her most favorite pair of Teal color boots but gave them to her anyway. The girl was reluctant to take them but eventually did saying she would pray everyday for AJ and all the kids with no shoes. AJ told her that when she saw her singing with no shoes, she would know that AJ had not forgot about her and would do whatever she could for the other children. When AJ got back to Norway she wrote a book about it. Her Granny, a Prodigy herself Illustrated the book and AJ became the youngest published arthor in Norways history at age 6.
FUN FACT! In light of her genius, and her clear understanding of what she wants from everyone she's working with, she's playfully called the 'Little Boss'.😆 Her quite recent cover of 'My Funny Valentine' is sublime! Seriously 😲 th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
FYI, she turned 16 in January!😊✌
This recommendation paid off in spades! That ending is comparable to having a live electric wire plugged into the base of your spine.
She came across a little girl that didn't have shoes when she was 5 or 6 and gave her her new shoes and said she would sing without shoes until all kids had shoes.
7th Heaven is her own original song.
You have no idea. At 15 her voice is phenomenal and is still maturing. Her technical skill is masterful. Everything is so effortless for her which means she works very hard on every single note she sings until it is absolutely perfect. Should hear her covering “When You Believe” by Whitney Houston ft. Mariah Carey th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html
Listen to her in Japan singing Japanese. That is another language she has.
