![[LIVE] ใครคุยเรื่องบอล "พ่องตาย" #คุยให้เด็กมันฟัง EP.43 (13/7/67)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8bHYL8RuBqs/mqdefault.jpg)
There's a reason she's going barefoot. At the age of 6 she was traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother and met a homeless girl her own age who was weighing people on an old bathroom scale to earn some money for herself and her siblings. The girl admired AJ's shoes and since it was cold and the girl had no shoes, AJ gave her the shoes as a gift. Since then she has always appeared barefoot to draw attention to children who are unlucky in life and who are not doing well. She published her diary at the age of 9, making her the youngest author in Norway.
Wow, how amazing
Jordan has raised millions of dollars, children’s charity and environmental causes
@@MaddyReactions I am trying to think of any prophet in history who did anything like it. Angelina's has a huge heart. Can you imagine being a mother on vacation with your six year old who loves to sing, you encounter a poor child in the street and your daughter, on the spot, gives the girl her favourite boots, right off her own feet? Then she tells you that from then on she will always perform barefoot to draw attention to child poverty. Almost as amazing as that is, is that her family let her do it. No small part of Angelina's ability is how loving and supportive her family is. There's only white magic there.
@@MaddyReactions here an interview with her where she is 9, th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html mainly about a book she wrote about that meeting with the girl she gave her shoes. A very nice interview where you can really feel who she is.

- Why Angelina always sings barefoot:
At the age of 6, Angelina traveled to the Middle East with her grandmother, who is from Iran and is an artist herself. Angelina noticed a girl her age making some money by asking passers-by to stand on her bathroom scale to be weighed. In order not to soil the scales, Angelina took off her shoes. She chatted with the girl who wasn't wearing shoes and learned that she is an orphan. The girl admired Angelina's beautiful shoes. Angelina then gave the girl her shoes. The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina every day. In return, Angelina promised her that she would always sing barefoot at public performances until all the children had shoes. Until today Angelina has kept her promise. In 2014, she sang barefoot outdoors at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honoring Malala in December. She also sung barefoot at a dinner with ex-President Obama. At the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about this story, becoming the youngest published author in Norwegian history. She donated proceeds from sales of the book to help children in need.
Have a nice day and
Greetings from Germany
Yes! Can’t wait to hear more!
Didn’t realize you hadn’t heard this yet. If you have a seat belt handy, strap yourself in for this. You’ve been impressed with her songs so far, but this is Angelina, 9 years old, with talent at another level.
Most definitely!
@@MaddyReactions she performs barefoot because of a promise she made to another 6 year old girl she met in the middle east. She is not barefoot for any other reason. She and this other girl had an encounter in which Angelina gave the girl her boots, her favorite pair of boots. When the meeting was coming to an end the other girl said you will probably forget about me. That's when Angelina promised to perform barefoot to show she hasn't forgotten the girl. She also has said it's to make the rest of us aware that many people around the world do not have many of the things we have in abundance. I know I'm not close to wealthy but I have many pairs of shoes. Angelina cares about people and I hope nothing ever happens to her to disappoint that belief.
Most versatile and amazing child singer I have ever listened to in my lifetime . I'm 80 .
Hi Maddy, glad you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 9 years old on this song, she arranged it herself from the 1956 original by Screaming Jay Hawkins. She won Norway's Got Talent at 7/8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the movie Porky and Bess (You're at the very beginning and I hope you embark on the further journey because there's a lot to discover, she's the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you'll find out for yourself and believe me you will get as addicted as all other fans (Angels) to her voice, 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 transport a lot of emotions and she not only has around 180 covers but also 6 originals and an EP she released on Friday all written by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and there is a lot to tell , I'm looking forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 17 years old.
So amazing!
You slapped by the vocal wings of our little Barefoot Princess, who now is the Barefoot Queen
Awww
The best version of "I put a spell on you" came from a 9 year old. Talent pours out of her. Her talent here is far greater than her small voice capabilities at a tender age. But, yet still, the talent is pouring out and she found a way to sound like a much older singer. One word: Genius
"How is she sounding like Ray Charles right now?" LOL. I consider that a compliment to both Ray Charles and to Angelina! She's amazing!
Agreed!
I noticed the other day you caught that one of the singers Angelina Jordan has an echo of is Amy Winehouse. You really need to check out Angelina's cover of Back to Black. She's older than in this mind bending performance from a 9 year old, but she's still quite young for doing Back to Black. She quite cleverly changed some of the lyrics to make the song age appropriate for how old she was when she recorded it.
From an Angelinaholic, thank you for taking this journey. This Angel must be seen and heard to be believed. Check into her biography, her humanity is so far ahead of most adults, with her accomplishments for those less fortunate world wide. The angels in heaven learn something from her every day. She is going to break the music industry wide open shortly, and it will never be the same.
Love the Ray Charles reference and you shocked face. This is often people's first introduction to Angelina along with the iconic performance on AGT doing Bohemian Rhapsody....I would highly recommend doing the three AGT songs in one go ( 12 mins I think ) because all three performances are so brilliant. Thanks for finding AJ a true Barefoot Princess. ( I see you have read the comment why she doesn't wear shoes , she beyond special )
Thanks!
Welcome to Angelina's World, Aka the Girl with a Thousand Voices
So amazing
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the 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 and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with 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
So amazing!
Angelina is spesial
So true!
She's just dropped her EP. ... and her NOW IM A FOOL and now she's 17 and it shows in her voice and emotional performance. I will still be playing it in 20 years. My new favourite of favourites by any living female artist. Sultry, soulful, jazzy with great lyrics and a catchy beat. If there is justice in the world it will top the charts.
Yes!
Awesome reaction and now that you're an Angel (Fan), enjoy the journey, God Bless!
Thank you so much!!
Sit back and enjoy Maddy - like others I've watched over 200 reactors reacting to Aj and I Put Spell On You - it never gets old!
💖
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our barefoot princess, Angelina actually arranges this herself at 9 years old paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s,Angelina is commanding the performance she is the boss,Angelina’s Grandma who is Iranian is Angelina’s greatest inspiration and influence she inspired and introduced Angelina to Jazz and the old classics when Angelina was 11/2 years old, The Barefoot facts, while Angelina was traveling in Iran 🇮🇷 she met a homeless 6 year old girl by the road side weighing people on her scales for money, Angelina also 6 years old made conversation with the homeless girl and noticed the girl had no shoes and scares on her feet, Angelina decided to give the homeless girl her own shoes, so from 6 years to present day where ANGELINA IS 17 years old, Angelina has always performs barefoot to remember all the children less fortunate, how humble is that for a 6 year old, Angelina has helped to raise millions of dollars for environmental causes and children’s charities, and it’s said when she won Norway’s Got Talent she donated her winnings on the show to charity, great reaction thanks 🙏
Awesome!
She never said where this barefoot encounter took place!!! She said that in the MIDDLE EAST!!! Don't give bad news to countries, don't spread hearsay as fact!! Learn from: Here's the video at 1:45 th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
Angelinas World.
What a great place to be in aint it?
Yes!
Hi Maddy.....
This is the greatest thing you'll ever see. I lost count on how many times I've watched it. Her talent is supernatural. Since I'm so familiar with it, I get to look at you the whole time. You are magnificent. 😍
Couldn't agree more!
I love the Real Reaction of your Face for not only this Song and also Robert's "Whole Lots of Love" Your Face reveals true Reaction. Angelina is a Mixture fo all Big Names Like Billie holiday, Elvis, Adele, Amy Winhouse. I never feel tired Listening to any of her Songs as many times. She breathes a nwe life into you. her Voice is so Refreshing to hear.
Wow !, just Wow !
Agreed!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So much talent!
Looking forward to this journey with you
💖
Thanks Maddy..your warm heart shows.
My Dear Maddy,
You are the first reactor, in the 500+ that I've watched in the last month, that has commented on the operatic quality of the last notes. Bravo!!!! That note held with one breath, timed at 14+ seconds. I knew there was a reason I subscribed to your channel. I've titled this piece "Fierce Child Warrior", because Ms. Jordan is a warrior for music. Destined to transform the industry. I'm having the time of my life, glad to welcome you aboard. Rb Maryland
Thank you! 💖
richard It was the last sentence ("I'm yours right now") that she did in one breath. Not just one note.
@@103mrg Your absolutely right 103. But it's the "now" that has captured my ears and brain since first hearing it a month ago. Have listen to it every day since. Rb
Angelina has performed this song many times since this but was advised not to sing in this manner again for fear of damaged to her vocal cords , she took that advice . ❤
Oh wow
love me some AJ
I cant wait for this one...i guess ive seen a few hundred reactions to this stunning and somewhat spooky performance. The candle she holds ( handed to her by her Grandmother - Angelina's main musical influence at a very young age) has the image of Screaming Jay Hawkins on the jar the candle is in to pay tribute to him.
Angelina has gone on to become beautiful, sweet and lovely but I want Sassy" Don't Fuss with Me." Angelina back .
Lovely 💖
Her new EP has some sass for sure
The you living legend! 9 years old!
👏
Phenomenal 🤩👣🧡🧡🙌❣️
💖
And this is why Angelina’s Fanbase is hard-core 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Reacting to Angelina's journey HAS to include this performance from when she was around her 9th birthday. She created the arrangement and instructed the musicians. For Angelina, it is ALL about telling the story of the song and she did Screamin Jay Hawkins proud.
If one were to tabulate a frequency distribution of the words spoken by reactors when reacting to this performance, the word "HOW" would win easily.
So awesome
one of my favourites ❤
So good!
Great reaction 👍🏼🎼💞
Thank you ☺️
this is one of her most eclectic covers she does .. no matter how many times /i see it I am still amazed.. take care and see you next time
Angelina has been performing since she was 6 years old with her first studio recording which is on youtube there is even a very short clip of her singing at 18 months old
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina.
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.
Yes!!
Super reaction....there is a beautiful story about, why, she does not wear shoes while performing. Some one below will fill you in. also there is a awesome video of an interview in front of a group that explains the no shoes while performing story....have tissues ready.
When she was 6 and in the Middle East she met a girl her age weighing people with bathroom scales for money. The girl had no shoes. Angelina gave her the shoes off her feet. She has performed barefoot ever since to remember that girl, and to bring awareness to childhood poverty. Thus the barefoot princess.❤️🔥🇨🇦
So sweet
@@MaddyReactions you will eventually see her doing charity concerts. She has raised 10s of millions of Euros for charity🥰
❤️ your reaction Maddy and Welcome to Angelina’s World 👍🥰
Thank you!! 😊
Love your hair, the shock in your face, and your reaction! 💖 Thanks so much for sharing, cant wait for the next one 🌹
🤗
Angelina at merely 9 years old in monster vocal mode. Thanks Maddy wonderful reaction ...
It’s always fun to watch new to Angelina reactors expressions when they listen to her do this cover.
☺️
we are seriously lucky to have so many videos of her growing up. someday it will be in a documentary on PBS or somewhere. Her barefoot story in a nutshell is that she met a homeless girl with no shoes and gave her, her (favorite) shoes. She wrote a book about it called 'Between Two Hearts'
Nice reaction😊❤️👣 .
Most definitely
They say Between Two Hearts made her Norway's youngest published author.
Thanks, Maddy - despite that she was NINE in this.. and now is at least 16-17(?) and doing her own music... this remains one of my favorites.. what a self-confident and talented child!... (it's reported that she did her own arrangements.. and you can see at the beginning she is giving instructions to the director.. they said they used to call her "the Boss").. what a prodigy...
So cool!
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
Thank you 🙌
Thanks Maddy for sharing another reaction to Angelina!! This young woman is overflowing with talent, she has been trained musically since she was a child, she has such a fine ear that she has respectfully corrected the conductor for some note out of place. she is already 17 years old and she has two recent songs that are great. There is a lot to see about her, for example: Angelina Jordan - "I Have Nothing "th-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/w-d-xo.html A hug for you from Venezuela
jose You're mistaken. She hasn't been musically trained other than how to protect her voice. She's self-taught.
So glad you got to listen to this one! Her performances on Norways got talent when she was 7 are just incredible!
Wow!
You're watching a child prodigy, a genius under 10, who's going on 30. She's an old soul who had lived a thousands lives...Great reaction to our beloved Angelina...Cheers my friend.
Hi Maddy 👋. Great reaction to 9 Angelina when filmed. She wrote a book about it when she was 9 & It's called “Between Two Hearts ” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Angie has always been the driving force behind her dreams & her was there to lovingly support her) ( Please watch & react. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html) afterwards she singsa "Unchained Melody" at age 9 . It will be on a separate video. Make sure you get the English subtitles. God bless you Maddy and your family too 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍.
You too!
very intuitive maddy - 2 different opera singers / reactors both said that the skill set angelina showed at the end that she could EASILY sing classical music...
So cool!
Great reaction Maddy! She showed such talent at an early age. A lot of style she used in this song was based on performances by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He is pictured on the coffee cup Angelina is sipping from at the start of the video.
So true!!!
one gifted little lady
So true!!
Hey Maddy!!! When you get chance check this out!!!! I want to thank you, also you may not have heard this one from 2020 when she was 14 years old.This song is insanely good. TRXD song she did with them called (Above The Water) Another amazing song from Angelina Jordan. No End to her talent, she takes anyone vibe and makes it outrageous. Love her.
Oh nice!

5:04 "She became an opera singer for a moment." Screaming Jay Hawkins, who wrote the song, was trained as an opera singer. At first "I Put a Spell on You" was a novelty, but as the song became a classic, he incorporated some of his operatic talent. Obviously Angelina studied a range of Jay's performances to come up with this rendition, which ranks with--or exceeds--the well known covers by Credence Clearwater, Annie Lennox, Bette Midler, etc.
Yes!!
Maddy you should also give her a try when she sang "What A Difference A Day Makes when she was 8 years old, she sang the song every bit as good as Dinah Washington when she recorded it back in 1959!! Again a super performance!!
Oooh
The best version ever from a 9 years young prodigy girl our little Angel 😇 the best female singer vocalist artist songwriter in this world 🌍 time and generation!!!

Oh wow!
Hi Maddy! Great reaction! Angelina somehow understands, through long and intensive study, no doubt, how to sing the blues the way they did in the '30s and '40s. It's simply amazing! I think you'd love her re-imagining of Elvis's hit Suspicious Minds. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
I totally agree!
Loved watching your face as this 9yr old wizard or witch put a spell on you
Yes!!
Thank you for featuring Angelina again/. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on TH-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below,
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted.
(g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song.
(h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time.
(i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word
(j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
(k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying.
(l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella!
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Of course!
♥♥♥♥♥
💖💖💖
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I Put A Spell on You" th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html
The Candle she was holding was a picture of Screamin Jay Hawkins who wrote and sang it. He wanted to write and sing the greatest Love song of all. When they got ready to record it they all sat around drinking so by the time they recorded it they were all pretty drunk and if you go listen to it you will see how drunk he was lol.
Awesome 🌸
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.
So true!
Well, I see your journey has started make sure your seatbelt is tight and your set to take off on this voyage.

A barefoot princess a child prodigy the future queen of jazz love your reaction thanks
🤍
You can now see why there is over 11 million views of this! At the beginning you can see her writing musical " requests," on tweaking the arrangement which draws a wry smile from the producer. The seasoned jazz musician's preforming with her here called her " The Boss" She knew exactly how she wanted her arrangement! Enjoying your journey, I'm sure u will get an explanation in the comments on why she is always in bare feet. A promise she has kept to this day, 10 years later regardless of her rise to being a MAJOR musical force.
Most definitely

--- Äänikoutsi reagoi: Angelina Jordan "I put a spell on you" // Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts (SUBS) --- Angelina also changed some of the lyrics of Amy Winehouse BACK TO BLACK
So cool!
Well yes AJ covers Ray Charles also but she was a few years older than this. She was 9 years and 2 months old doing this one. She even sings Disco song at 10 years old "I WILL SURVIVE" you need to see her new song that just dropped Friday. So far this EP has 2 visualizer out even though I think all of them will have videos. I like " DIAMOND" and " GOOD IN GOODBYE" and "FIRE AND RAIN"
Love your Ray Charles comparison. Haven't heard that before, but it's spot on! Great reaction!
Nine years old here..💟she startet at to years old to sing jazz,soul at lissen to old jazz,sould songs at her grandparens home.😊💟she can sing enyting to dag..👍
Awesome!
Musical Dynamite !!!
So true!
Her reason for performing barefoot is a chance encounter with a girl her age while traveling in Iran. The girl had no shoes in freezing cold of winter everyday trying to make money to feed her orphaned siblings and herself. AJ gave her the shoes from her own feet vowing to always perform barefoot so she never forgets what it must feel like to have no shoes.
There is more to that story and AJ wrote about it in her beautiful book called Between Two Hearts.
Highly recommend it.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go".
Angelina will be performing in Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023 - there are still some tickets available.
Lovely

Yesss
Nice reaction and just subscribed for lots more Angelina Jordan reactions, thumbs up. Thanks.😀👍
Thanks for subbing!
Number Screamin’ Jay Hawkins 1956 he was a blue Sanger and Angelina studied him and this is what you get. Your child prodigy speaks three languages play several instruments talk to Santa here at the age of 18 months you have a team as I said 18 months swing jazz at one and a half then after that if anything goes, you can see any type of song name but she can send it.
Excellent reaction she has some songs and she sounds like Elvis her range is incredible all her cover songs she emulates the singer she is covering most of the time unless she makes it her own she does Etta Jones version of I Rather Go Blind check it out she had bought a new Mike wanted to check it out and made the recording sitting on the couch she was 10 I think anyhow later beautiful girl.❤️🤘😎

BR 🇳🇴
Next I’m a fool to want you
A cappella at about 7❤🙏🌹
The thing I really like about this one rendition of the song, is the fact that there is so much thought put into making it shine as best as possible for Angelina in the age she is, but all while trying to emulate the soul sound as aesthetically, and vocally close to how most soul singers would sound when singing about lover's guilty relations.
You can tell the certain phrases were minimised to a few that Ang could make some resonance with a much older voice of her future adult self.
This whole take in terms of imagery visually makes me compare the child to adult instant switches to that of Hunter X Hunter's Gon Freecess being a embodiment of Angelina's 'potential' adult voice, as if she's drawn a bit of herself closer to her adult self, for this song to give a bit of the pain Nina was displaying about her love at that time.
All in all, the raw output, delivery of vocal grit, and timed growls helped add that much more mature sound to her voice for the start of the song. Then by the end you start realising she's a kid but still go "damn! This kid can sing!" in your mind and now the song has a different kind of revelation to it, of almost a hypothetical "Ang has seen her mum go thru that pain, and is ttying to meet her in the middle with it" type of understanding. Anyways, music is a beautiful langauge sharing many stories of voices that tell those stories, that's one thing we can know for sure.
HxH fans, iykyk what I mean.
HI, Maddy. Yes, amazing.
I agree 💖

So thoughtful
SHE WAS 9 THE BAND CALLED HER BARFOOTED BOSS
Awesome!
🤩🤩👍👍
Nine years and two months here when she did this thing about six or seven years
Nice!
Please watch Angie's " I'm Still Holding out for You" It is a very startling song but you won't regret it. You won't recognize the name of the song as this is a buried treasure with a sort of dark history. You're a fan now so it is required viewing!
I love this song from her. Pretty wild for any age.
I wonder where this perfection is coming from.
Also I wonder about yours. I have some ideas about these reaction videos, for I've seen a lot in the last two years, because of Dimash. (I listen to anybody alone, for Dimash I need company).
So, I have seen thousands of little mistakes, taking off the value of the production. Even with lots of experience it takes a lot get a "perfect" recording, including all the setups, all the lighting, the colours, all the audio, for the speaker, for the music, the angles, dressing :), and many many more. It is an art, I would say. Including the length and volume of the intro, the timings and length of the comments, right amount of facial expressions etc. I forget to mention the placements and the golden ratios!
* How? How did you get it perfect from day 1? Hmm. You are almost at the level of an AI.
Even, you built in a small mistake, which makes it even more perfect, by placing yourself on the viewers left, the less significant side for the perception of the brain.
* Booth of you coming out with perfection, without seeing the process of refinery.
Yesss
Lookin forward to this one I know you will be impressed with our barefoot princess.
💖💖💖
….. Angelina is great on it all ❤️. There is a story with her bare feet and performing, you will come across it at some point.
Can't wait!
