The girl that Angelina gave the shoes to was named “Princess”, and she told Angelina that she wasn’t a Princess that lives in a castle, she lives in these ruins. Thus the name of the song. After Angelina gave her the shoes, the girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up. Angelina told her she wanted to be a singer, and sing for the whole world. The girl said, “I will pray for you!”.
PLEASE READ THIS BRIEF BIOGRAPHY!
Angelina Jordan Astar, born on January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway, showed a passion for singing at an incredibly young age. At just one and a half years old, she sang in her crib, inspired by Whitney Houston's performances on TH-cam, and by the age of three, she was already listening to jazz and classic legends on her iPad. While her grandmother, artist and poet Mery Zamani, was the greatest influence of her early musical tastes, it was Angelina who ultimately decided to pursue a career in music, with great support from her family.
At the age of six and seven, Angelina had her very first studio performances, singing "Rolling in the Deep" and "I Who Have Nothing." However, it was at the age of eight that she gained viral fame by winning Norway's Got Talent. Singing old-time classics from artists like Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, she became one of the youngest vocalists ever to win an international Got Talent show. Her rendition of Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" at the age of nine is considered one of the best performances by a vocalist of that age. She is truly a prodigy.
By the time Angelina was eleven, she recorded her album "It's Magic," which consistently charted as one of the top 10 best-selling jazz albums. With over 130 covers of songs from 80 different artists by the age of 13, and over 200 to date, Angelina always adds her unique touch to each rendition. Here is a semi-chronological TH-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with some 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
In 2019 and 2020, at the ages of thirteen and fourteen, Angelina once again gained viral attention on America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her unique versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" impressed not only Simon Cowell but also earned her the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. The surviving members of Queen also praised her performance. Perhaps most astonishingly, Angelina sings in English, her third language.
During her earlier years, and especially after her America's Got Talent performances, multiple record company executives took notice of Angelina's talent. However, her family declined their offers, prioritizing her education and a normal childhood. It wasn't until she turned fourteen that a contract was signed with Republic Records, marking the start of her career. Between the ages of eleven and twelve, Angelina even composed her first three original songs: "What is Life," "Oslo," and "Shield." In November 2020, at the age of fourteen, she released the song "Million Miles" as a tribute to her late maternal grandfather. This marked her first release under Republic Records, and a year later she followed it up with her jazzy and upbeat single, "7th Heaven."
Why does Angelina perform barefoot? It all stems from a promise she made to herself at the age of six. While traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, they encountered a young orphan girl who had no shoes and had scarred feet. This girl weighed people with scales to earn money. Angelina gave her own favorite shoes to the girl, and when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the girl said she wanted to be a doctor but couldn't because she had to take care of her siblings. When Angelina was asked the same question, she said she wanted to sing for the world. The young girl promised to pray for Angelina. Since that day, Angelina has performed barefoot as a reminder of those less fortunate. At the age of nine, she even wrote a book about this experience titled "Between Two Hearts," becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway.
Aside from her music, Angelina is known for her charitable nature. She has helped raise millions for children and environmental causes, mostly from performances at fundraising events. At the age of eight, she even pledged to donate her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children in need. She has performed for heads of state in various countries to raise money for charity and during the pandemic, she was seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. Throughout her career, she has continued to prioritize helping those in need.
Now that Angelina has recently turned eighteen, her activities with Republic Records have multiplied. She released her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" on May 5th, 2023, followed by her EP "Old Enough" in July, featuring five new original tracks. Her song "Our Time" has been featured in a commercial by SoFi, a finance company, and is played regularly at Sodi Stadium. Additionally, it has been heard on various radio stations.
Angelina's performances have taken her to numerous high-profile events. In December 2022, she performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles, and in February 2023, she performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, reaching an audience in the millions. She was also invited on Germany's Next Top Model in 2023 by Heidi Klum.
On November 25, 2023, Angelina had the honor of attending Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. Additionally, she was invited to perform at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, on December 11, 2023. Narges is an activist for women's rights who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran. This performance held great significance for Angelina and her family, as her grandmother Mery Zamani grew up in Iran. They hope that Angelina's performance, combined with Narges' story, will inspire change and raise awareness of her mission.
Most recently, Angelina performed two shows in Las Vegas on the same stage that Elvis Presley graced for many years. Her new song, Princess of Ruins, is a tribute to the young girl Angelina gave her shoes to when she was 6 years old. This should be Angelina's anthem.
Angelina's humble and compassionate nature is what makes her so special, in addition to her music. Since childhood, her goal has been to sing for the world and spread love and peace, and she is well on her way to achieving that. Peace and love.

Yeah she met a girl when travelling the Middle-East. It was a poor girl with bare scarred feet who went around with a scale measuring people's weight for money. They talked and Angelina gave her her boots. Since she performs barefoot both in remembrance if that girl and to raise awareness for the plight of poor kids everywhere. Angelina did and does a bunch of charity stuff.
She performs barefoot for a reminder of the less fortunate ❤️ The children in need ❤ #PrincessofRuins ❤❤❤ The story that the world needs to hear to get an inspiration of ❤

Are you the famous family friend that had the privilege of interacting with AJ during those early days this story developed? Putting weight and foundational substance in the authentication to her story? ♥️♥️♥️😇

Paul, A short comment on the Angelic community, which is populated by professional musicians, sound engineers, film editors, historians and singers/songwriters, we all have come together to support Ms. Jordan's artistry, realizing that Angelina is unique among today's singers. Ms. Jordan not only creates memorable music, but she creates love. ♾Rb
ah! now I understand why it's intimidating to react to her videos, I'm just an English Teacher who enjoys music and discovering new artists. My main channel started as an English teaching channel for foreigners, it developed into listening comprehension lessons through reaction videos, then as the channel grew, I made friends within communities and they started to show me new stuff. So, I'm no music expert or historian, 😵 but I'm in for the ride. Thanks Richard!
@@NordicReactions Your very welcome Paul. You will find that the community is not only knowledgeable, but understanding of channel masters that are new to Ms. Jordan. Personally it has been 10 months to the day that I first heard Ms. Jordan sing, it has been a transformative journey. Best wishes and have a wondrous afternoon. ♾Rb
Paul, don't worry her Angels include many novelists, scientists and philosophers as well. Carpenters, truck drivers, veterans, mothers, grandmothers......❤

Hello Paul. Angelina has one of the most devoted and knowledgeable fanbases in existence, so I am sure they will give you the full story. It was an extremely critical and life-changing experience for her, so much so that she wrote a book about it, “Mellom to Hjerter” (Between Two Hearts) and at age 9, became the youngest published author in Norway. Yes, she did actually (at age 6!) give away her shoes to a barefoot little girl on the street, whom Angelina named "Princess", to which the girl responded that they didn't have a castle, but that they lived in ruins, hence the dedication of the song to her "Princess Of Ruins". And at age 6 (!!), she vowed to always sing barefoot on stage, in dedication to all the homeless children in the world. She has already helped to raise millions for various children's charities. Angelina is vastly more than just her voice and her talent, as incomprehensibly prodigious as those are. She is the quintessence of compassion, empathy, grace, elegance, humility and class, topped off with a heart and soul of purest gold. I know that, like many content creators, you have an extremely busy life, but in Angelina’s case, you will find it worth your while to do a little research into her performances; you would gain an intensely more profound understanding of, and appreciation for, those performances. Also, there is a much higher quality production of this particular performance, including the heart-melting lyrics, done by some of her biggest fans (BigAngieFan and others), which you can check out if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/jbjzHYJuDjQ/w-d-xo.html
I would love to see Angelina and Princess meet again.
Me too that would be wonderful ❤👍🙏👣💯😎
Look up character and integrity in the dictionary and Angelina’s picture is there plus she has brought class and grace back to the stage! She is the role model for this generation! 🇳🇴🇺🇸 Angelina keeping her promise to the princess of ruins!
Great reaction and I would recommend going to Wikipedia, you will be amazed at her accomplishments in just a short time! She is more amazing than you think, she is all about LOVE, God Bless!
She was 6 when she met an orphaned girl of a similar age in a war torn town in either Iran or Syria.
Noticing the girl's scarred, shoeless appearance, Angelina gave the girl her own beautiful new sneakers.
The girl said she would pray for Angelina and Angelina vowed to never wear shoes when performing, and
in this way people would always be alerted as to the many shoeless people in the world.
Angelina said they were sea green boots
Angelina said they were her favorite sea green boots
They should be replicated, with her assistance as to the look of them, and then sold with all
the money going to a charity of her choice.
Nice reaction, Paul. I really appreciate that you want to learn mote about Angelina. Because, you see, there is much more than just her voice that captivates her fans. Her entire persona is beautiful. So incredibly humble and compassionate, not ONE single strain of diva in her DNA. Her love for her little sister (the love of her life), her grandmother Mery Zamani, her mother and her uncle and for her fans. And there is absolutely nothing fake about her whatsoever. I guess that you will get a lot of information when this reaction reaches the rest of her fans, and not only the channel members only, like it is now. One of her VERY biggest fans, that has done SO much in the community, is Andy Schnell. He has compiled an excellent "bio" about her for people that are new to her. I am sure you will get to see that one pretty soon, I don't want to take his text 🙂 But the short story about her being barefoot on stage is that she met an orphan girl when she visited the Middle East when she was 6. The girl was weighing people on the street on a bathroom scale, that was her way of making a little money so that she could take care of her siblings. The girl had no shoes on her feet, and her feet were very scarry. The girl was maybe a year older than Angelina, but Angelina took her favorite boots off her feet and gave it to the girl. They spoke a little and shared their dreams. The orphan girl said that she wanted to become a doctor, but that she couldn't. Angelina told her to NEVER give up on her dreams, and told the girl that she wanted to sing for the world. The orphan girl said that she would pray for Angelina every day. This encounter is what she wrote about in her book. The book is NOT called Princess Of Ruins, but rather "Between Two Hearts" ("Mellom To Hjerter" in Norwegian). The book was released when Angelina was 9 years old, and it made her Norway's youngest published author 🙂 Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, was considered somewhat of a child prodigy herself when she grew up in Iran, and she excelled in writing and arts. She made all the illustrations in the book. You can also quite often she Angelina in front of Mary's paintings in her covers on her channel. Angelina and Mery have also designed all of Angelina's stage outfits, including the one she wore on America's Got Talent when she was 13.
You will also quickly learn that without Mery, there would be no Angelina as we know her today. To say that Mery has been extremely influential in Angelina's life would be a HUGE understatement.
I could talk for hours about Angelina, but I won't right now, before this video goes public at least 🙂 Take care, buddy! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
A big Bown too Champ 🐕 Lots of Love too You. ❤️☮️❤️☮️❤️🍀👣
You must have missed a lot of the comments many Angels have left you. The story behind why she sings barefeet is one of the biggest reasons why us Angels love Angelina so so much. It is much more than her fabulous voice. It is because she is a wonderful person
❤❤❤❤❤
Great Reaction Teacher Paul !
Paul you probably missed the comment from others that Big Angie Fan and James Thiel have produced some remarkable videos from this concert and one of them has the words to this song. Go to their channels and check the videos out, worth the effort. Nice reaction thanks.
A bit too late to catch you before you reacted to PRINCESS OF RUINS. There are any number of other recordings that would have been a better suggestion for this song. And as it so happens, one was produced by Chris Walker (BigAngieFan) as part of the collective we formed. Also, a Brand New one was released just 8 hours ago by myself. It may be too late on this one, but just to scratch the itch of "what could have been", see the video linked below . . .
Just to remind you, that "HERO" video that you reacted to some days ago was also produced by Chris's & my collective - the multiple-camera edit with enhanced audio.
We want you to see stuff that is of the Quality that we believe Angelina should be presented in, and is therefore Reaction Worthy as well. It is NOT about US - it is about Angelina, your Audience and You; there is but one chance to make a First Impression. Hope to see you take a look at some more of the videos produced by the BigAngieFan / summaEngineer (James Thiel) collective. Thanks Much, 😇Jim

Thank you Jim! I'll keep that in mind and visit your channel more often, I am still going to go through the playlist and I mentioned, this particular one was sent to me, but I don't see why not do a double-take. Will check it out soon, thanks!
By the way, I think you became a member on my main channel, not sure if you meant to do it on this channel instead?
@@NordicReactions I'm not sure Either ! 🤣😆 😇Jim
Thanks for commenting James Theil....most of us realize that the videos you and Chris produced are of top quality and kind of wish Paul had checked your channel as he did a reaction of one of your videos recently and was impressed, as we all are. There are a lot of these fan uploads from Vegas, and we all appreciate them, but you, Chris and the other folk have given us some great recordings that I don't think any of the others can compare with. Any videos I request on reactor channels of this concert I always link them to your channel...wish others would as well. Thanks for what you do..
@@CarlD70 I guess I just reacted to the link that was sent to me, didn't think of changing the video
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!
There are some videos where the lyrics were added. She shared this experience many times, this is the first time she’s written a song about her experience with that young girl when Angelina was six yrs old. Check out her video called “10 yrs in the Making” on TH-cam.
Angelina Jordan interview by Anne Lindmo, subtitles. She was 9 talking about her new book…why she is barefoot. In her book she names the girl Princess.
Princess of Ruins (unofficial) Revised lyrics
A heart of gold, A spirit in the soul, people didn't care about her.
It's age of old, the stories that she told, goddess with no one to help her.
They say it's true, when you're left with nothing, anything is everything.
So I took off my shoes for her 'cause that's something, it's always coming back to me.
It's like I'm standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you.
So I keep moving to the beat, of the words that you speak,to the beauty in your point of view.
I keep moving, I'll push through it, I'll carry the crown for you.
I keep moving, I push through it, for the Princess of Ruins.
Her hands are cold. And life would push and go, that's all she'd ever known, the feeling.
Her highs and hopes, she keeps them in the know, broken telescope for dreaming.
They say it's true, when you're left with nothing, anything is everything.
So I took off my shoes for her cause that's something, it's always coming back to me.
It's Like I'm standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you.
So I keep moving to the beat of the words that you speak, to the beauty in your point of view.
I keep moving, I push through it, I'll carry the crown for you.
I keep moving, I push through it, for the Princess of Ruins.
Sing it, louder, sing it louder, sing it louder for you, ooh ooh ooh.
Louder, sing it louder, oh ya, sing it louder for you, ooh ooh ooh.
It's like standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you.
So I keep moving to the beat, of the words that you speak, to the beauty in your point of view.
I keep moving, I'll push through it, I'll carry the crown for you.
I keep moving, I'll push through it, for the Princess of Ruins.
For the princess (louder), the princess (sing it louder), for the Princess (sing it louder) of Ruins.
The princess (louder), for the princess (sing it louder), for the Princess (sing it louder) of Ruins.
And all the brokenhearted, I sing for you.
Please start using the James Thiel colaborations for any songs from this concert. The audio and visuals are superior! Thank you Paul for your support!
Great reaction!
So glad i have the book about why she is barefoot ❤ Its an emotional one ❤
One of the things we do know about AJ is while Norwegian is her 1st language, Farsi is 2nd and English is her 3rd and most of us have heard her sing in Japanese but no one is sure about her being fluent in it.
Thanks.
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣💯😎
Here is a much better video and audio of Angelina performing this song - including a introduction by Angelina and Lyrics on the bottom of the screen: th-cam.com/video/jbjzHYJuDjQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Paul, just wish the subscriber had given you the link to James Theil's channel (summaEngineer). He and Chris Walker (Big Angie fan) have gotten together with other fans and concert goers and uploaded the best quality videos of this Vegas concert. They have put a lot of work into them and they are not just "fan cam" or truncated videos. Just a suggestion for future requests for Vegas vids that you check James's Channel first, he has a number of this concert videos that he has edited and improved, including this one here. Thanks Paul.
will do! Sorry about that, by the way, you became a member on my main channel yesterday, right? Was wondering if you meant to do it on this channel instead?
@@NordicReactions Thought that is what I did. Only subscribe to this channel...how many are there?
My main channel is Teacher Paul Reacts for singers all over the world, This one for Norway and another for India, TH-cam wasn't doing a good job at showing the right content to the right audience, so I decided to make a separate channel.
When reacting to Angelina's performance in Las Vegas - you should use videos provided by BigAngieFan or James Thiel - much better video and audio quality.
Sorry you didn't get the best recording of this performance. In collaboration, the "Angles" has presented a good version with different camera angles and good audio. You find it here to enjoy: th-cam.com/video/jbjzHYJuDjQ/w-d-xo.html
If you want to know why she performs barefoot, you can watch an interview on Norwegian Television (from 2015) when she became the youngest published author in Norway. The interview is in Norwegian with English subtitles. Find it here: th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
On the same occasion, she sang Unchained Melody, but it's on a separate video here: th-cam.com/video/wPfMzMeBLbo/w-d-xo.html
There are much better videos of this song available: this is a really good one th-cam.com/video/DAiINEfKo_0/w-d-xo.html
I agree, but there is also this one that even include the lyricks of the song th-cam.com/video/jbjzHYJuDjQ/w-d-xo.html
I am surprised that you didn't know why Angelina performs barefoot since you have been reacting to her for a few years - Angelina actually wrote a book (Between Two Hearts) when she was 9 years old that tells the story - You might want to watch an react to this interview she had shortly after the book was released - there are English Subtitles: th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
I mean, maybe I mispoke, I started reacting to her 4 years ago indeed, but I haven't been consecutively reacting to her for 4 years straight. So, some information was lost on me. It also must have been like over a year since I reacted to her, so I can't recall specifics, I need a refresher 🥲 I didn't know she wrote a book until this video 🫣
that drummer must have super sized wrists...
Very nice reaction. Angelina is not only a great, self-driven musical artist, she's also a great human being. Please watch or react to the 2 attached links I'm putting below. The 1st one is an interview at 9 years old after publishing her book on why she doesn't wear shoes and the other is the song "Unchained Melody" she sang during the interview. You might wanna have a box of tissues close by.

Thank you Paul I haven't the time now and the angels will probably overwhelm you with info before I get back , to say that we adore Angelina is an understatement, if you gathered together all the virtues that a human being could embody and called it Unconditional Love and you wanted to experience it then Angelina is it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
