But as I've gotten older I've realized there's alot of great music out there, and I want to find it! Thank You for bearing with me on the beginning stages of this channel.

    Angelina is 9 years old here. This is her own arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' original. She is now 17 years old and has almost 200 covers and originals on TH-cam. She just recently released her EP 'Old Enough' with six new original songs that are all dynamite. At the age of 14 she signed with Republic Records and has released several originals and covers since then. Keep checking out her songs, you won't find a bad one. Welcome to the rabbit hole and all her fans that call themselves her 'Angels'. Be sure to read Andy Schnell's bio of her below in the comments.

    Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. This video was uploaded a year after it was recorded. The musicians working with Angelina lovingly called her "the boss" since she took control and knew how she wanted to sing the song. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist, who is putting ART back into music.
    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.
    Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
    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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18.
    Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
    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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
    On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “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’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
    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 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"
    On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes”
    Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
    I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.

    "9" !!!!! "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Vocals? Sensational. Btw, the arrangement was hers. She's now 17 and in your wildest imagination can you wonder what you have missed?
    If you decide to stay with her something will happen to you which will, well, let me put it this way: Vocally and artistically she is literally out-of-this-world. But, when you find out 'who she is' as a person, so humble. kind, caring and loving your brain will have a lot of trouble to figure out what in the world is going on. Your heart? Without question this performance is so unique it blew your mind. Of course. But when you hear more of her your heart will know exactly what is going on and it will talk to you by giving you goosebumps, starting to tear up (with an urge to cry) and finding it difficult to speak normally during or right after she sings 'for you'. Yes, strap yourself in and get ready for a heck of a ride!

    She's 17 today, age 9 in this video. But she sounds like she's been singing for 40 or 50 years. I've heard the description that she is an old soul, one with which I agree. Competed on Norway's Got Talent at age 7, won at age 8. Think she now lives in LA. Check out her version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody , at age 13, on America's Got Talent.

    The good Lord gave her a few gifts. A deeper voice than most girls. Higher intelligence than most kids have (I should now, I met such kids and got confirmation from an expert) and last but not least she has a good soul and humbleness. " You my fans and angels, are the reason why I am still humble. Without you there would be no Angelina Jordan. Every day I try to do my best and to progress. Thank you soo,stoo much. I love you all." Angelina Jordan in concert at Kurbadhagen Norway in summer 2022.
    Because of her international family, she speaks several languages.

    I first listened to this four years ago and my mouth went slack like yours in your reaction. Angelina was nine when she recorded this and released it about a year later. She is now 17 years old, and after producing a collection of nearly 200 TH-cam and TikTok performances she has released an EP (Republic Records, with whom she signed at the age of 14) this past July of her very own songs--lyrics and vocals. She is a prodigy, a genius when it comes to vocal technique and musical arrangements. "I Put a Spell on You" is one of the best illustrations of her creative genius. It is based on the "shock rock" work of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, late 60's. The version of his work in Hocus Pocus is pale by comparison. So, if you dare to go down the deep and wide rabbit hole contains Angelina's work, then Welcome Friend, the music never ends!

    Hi Wolf, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song and she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime from the film Porky and Bess You are at the very beginning and I hope that you will continue the journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me , You will be addicted to her voice just like any other fans (Angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and many more Transporting emotions and she not only has around 200 covers but also 11 originals written by her and 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to talk about, her new EP all originals I can't decide which one is the best song. The whole EP is such a masterpiece and so well written by her, all I can say is she is outstanding and by far the best singer of this decade or century and Diamond is an even bigger surprise I have never experienced one in my entire life EP only contains number 1 songs, each of the 6 songs is a hit and grammy worthy. I hope that Republic Records will finally start the promo engine and it will be played on the radio and TV, only TH-cam is not enough. The crazy thing is that she said that the EP with 6 songs is a small selection of over 100 songs that she has already written, that gives hope for the future, that we will be surprised with even more beautiful songs. I look forward to further reactions and I have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way, she is now 17 years ol

    🎉 The Barefoot Princess 🎉
    (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.)
    Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl.
    Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them.
    Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.”
    From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.

  • @alberttenfoot
    @alberttenfoot 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Thank you for discovering Angelina Jordan. 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.

    Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone . Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
    Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out later this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
    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 be a superstar, 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!

      Btw, this was based on Screaming Jay Hawkins (pictured on the candle at the beginning of the video) original version of the song, which was very theatrical and over the top. For future reactions, you can take a sneak peak at her new stuff, then jump back to some of her early stuff. Her new stuff is all originals, while her earlier stuff was mostly epic covers.

    A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
    She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.

    Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan, the barefoot princess, queen of jazz and girl with a thousand voices. She is 9 here and the paperwork the gentleman was looking at in the beginning are last minute changes to HER arrangement of the song. She is a child prodigy that has been singing since she was 1 1/2 years old and at 7 she won Norways got talent. She can sing any genre and generally better than people who make their living in that genre. She has more than 150 covers and originals and she has an album coming out soon. She has a large following of enthusiastic fans and they will drown you in information about her. I encourage you to check out more of her stuff, she is an amazing artist and a really good person and her music is just next level.

    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

    Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! As they say, you haven't seen (or heard) nothin yet!!
    If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
    Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
    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).

    🎉🎉 Who is Angelina Jordan 🎉🎉
    Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 11 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear.
    At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more.
    Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood.
    That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, including Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old, and sang one of her favorite, "Fly Me to the Moon."
    Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final group. Decided by what AGT calls "super fans," rather than an open vote, Angelina was not advanced to the final competition. This resulted in a mini-firestorm of outrage by the many followers of the show. National news networks covered the backlash being leveled by American viewers.
    At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Knowing a diamond when they heard her, Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. She turned 17 on January 10, 2023, and graduated from high school shortly thereafter. From then on, she embarked on her full-time professional music career. Angelina released her first EP under Republic Records and Universal, with 6 originals. The album was aptly titled, "Old Enough." Music videos for two of the songs, "Love Don't Let Me Go" and "Now I'm the Fool," are available on TH-cam. The other 4 songs on this album are also available but were released with a visualizer in place of a music video. Each of her songs is unique and extraordinary.

    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". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
    Angelina will be performing in Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023 - there are still some tickets available.

    This is 7 1/2 years later when she was 9 and actually arranged everything with

    Meet Angelina!! She does it her way!. She makes it her own. And I think she was barely 9. She won Norway's Got Talent starting the competition at age 7. She sings 4 songs so please listen till the end when she won at age 8. Take note of the judges faces. Like the rest of us she's blown them away. She's now written several songs. Although just recently she's mentioned that she wrote 100. We can hardly wait. She also does her own arrangements. Angelina is 17 now and just dropped her new EP. She has 6 new originals on it and you'll thoroughly love them all. She's been singing since 18 mo as a child prodigy. Her focus was to finish her education before moving on with her singing. Although she has sung before world dignitaries and very large crowds around the world. She is a published author of Norway, which is where she is from. She has raised money and given away millions to children 's charities. You may have noticed that Angelina perforns barefoot. She met a young girl with no shoes when I believe she was about 6 and gave the girl her own shoes and told the her she would perform without shoes untill every child had shoes. English is her 3rd language Although it's apparent she's very fluent. She has been viewed millions of times. Dwelve deeper into her history and be entranced with her singing. I have signed on as a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks for your reaction. God bless you.

This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me.
    Let’s analyze the video:
    1st you see how small and cute she is.
    2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
    3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
    4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
    5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
    6th the old soul in her voice.
    She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.

    I'm still pretty early in my journey through Angelina's music too, but the way I feel is:
    Much like I think "Hi Ren" is the overall most impactful way to "meet" Ren, I think this video is probably overall the most impactful way to "meet" Angelina.
    I'm excited to see where she goes from here ("here" being her recently-released album at age 17). She'll be one of THE big names of this generation. At 17, it's hard to tell how far her own songwriting will go (unlike with Ren, who at age 33 has proven he's a songwriter for the ages) but I will NOT be surprised if she rises to an extraordinary level. Already, at 17, she's writing and co-writing beautiful stuff... and no matter what happens as a songwriter, there is ZERO doubt that that VOICE and her FEEL for music will carry her wherever she wants to go as a recording & performing artist.

    Nice reaction.
    Amazing performance by a 9 year old.
    I’ve actually never seen Hocus Pocus. I know this song is in the movie but I’m not familiar with that version.
    The song was written and originally recorded by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins in1956. That’s his picture on the candle she is holding at the beginning of the video. Her version is based on his original
    Many artists have recorded the song o Dr the years including Nina Simone and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

    Hi and thank you for this fine reaction. Yes, you heard one of the best voices in the world. You can find her latest EP below. But at the beginning, the beginning of the story.
    Angelina was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway (17 years old today). She started singing at the age of one year and a half and has been arranging her cover songs since she was 6 or 7 years old. She started with jazz!! She won “Norway Got Talent” at the age of 8!! There are more than 150 cover songs of all genres and singers. Now she also has her own songs.
    There are cover from Queen, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Lana Del Rey, ELVIS, Michael Jackson, Billie Holiday, Elton John, Etta James, Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra,....
    She is called "The Barefoot Princess with 1000 Voices". She is able to adapt her voice to her arrangements of the songs.
    I believe that Angelina's talent is that she can transform the "old" songs into the present day without taking the spirit away from the songs. She makes the songs interesting and audible for young people, especially in jazz. Angelina developed her own, I would like to say unmistakable, style at such a young age. This is real art.
    - 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.
    The beginning on "Norway's got talent" - Angelina won this competition.

    Hi Wolff, Angelina was 9yr 2m old in this studio performance and, mindblowingly, this is HER arrangement of the original 1950's song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins - hence her handwritten notes to the bandleader. They called her "The Boss"! Angelina won "Norways Got Talent" at the age of EIGHT! By 10, she had sung at live concerts (some televised) and sung on several TV shows worldwide (Norway, Germany, Sweden, Singapore, USA). There are about 250 videos out there, from about age 2 to today aged 17 - about 12 original songs to date, and 230-plus covers. Some reaction videos to Angelina have more than 1 million views. She will repeatedly shock you with her talent and her live performances.

    New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of this epic performance by Angelina - at age 9. This was Angelina's own arrangement of the original Screamin Jay Hawkins classic. Angelina Jordan from Norway (English is not her 1st language) is now 17 & has close to 200 covers & some original songs readily available on TH-cam. IMHO all her performances are great. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers, I highly recommend going back to her Norways Got Talent audition singing Gloomy Sunday - at age 7. Please be sure to select a video clip with English subtitles - because while Angelina sings in English, the narrator & judges are speaking Norwegian. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

    And welcome you angels from the council! She had pipes for sure. I think it was a young LeeAnne Rimes that was the last time i was surprised by such a young singer. No I'm not making comparisons, just to the surprising vocals. Like Cosmic said, not sure I'd listen every day, and not exactly the style of music i go for, but no denying her talent. I do like me some blues now and then.. Tedeschi, Janis, Joan, Stevie Ray, Kenny Wayne..etc so maybe. Interesting to see if Cosmic jumps back into that rabbit hole, there's so many open 😂😂 Anyway thanks for the reaction Cosmic ❤ and ✌️ everyone!

She's gonna be BIG. Nonsense, what am I saying: she IS big, and she's only gonna be LARGER. "H'-h'-h'-h'-hey, watch out!" ;o)

    Welcome to the mind-blown club of AJ's Angels!! 9yo! Seriously amazing. This is her arrangement, reaching back to the original songwriter's approach to this song (carefully curated by her parents, sheltering her from those aspects of Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins' life, song lyrics, and performances that they judged inappropriate for a child). Her maternal grandmother has helped her discover some of this old music from old masters. Our barefoot princess has grown up into a truly astounding young (17yo) barefoot queen of jazzy, bluesy, and even popular music all done in her own unique style with that gorgeous voice.

    But that just shows your reaction was completely candid.
    Angelina was a mere 9 years old here - and completely in charge of this session.
    She is now 17, and things haven't changed too much since.
    Her latest "Killer" video is "Now I'm The Fool".
