You don't know who you bumped into, she just turned 17 and she's one of the best vocalists on the planet. Welcome into Angelina Jordan magical world of music and you bet she’s having fun.
Yes, she is having fun. Angelina has said many times that she is happiest when on stage, performing for a live audience. She has also said that she is never nervous when performing.
This girl genius has been giving concerts around the world for almost 10 years, and at age 12 she opened the show for Quincy Jones 85th birthday celebration in the 02 Arena in London, at his personal request.
You just did a great job with comments but started the song late and ended it early. Tish tish. I see you’re just getting started and I’m very glad you found Angelina Jordan. The other two artist you mentioned are both excellent. Both have beautiful voices and both use very dramatic staging movements. One sings so high only dogs can hear him. Angelina has a solid jazz influence from a very early age and has many professional voice coaches describing her as a musical genius. Thank you for delving into her background. So many people just assume things and never get the true picture. My fellow Angelina supporters are very loyal and are much better at helping with history lessons and know more about posting links and other technical things than I do so please read their comments. Take care from Alaska and I’ll be back for sure!
New subscriber - thanks to your very nice reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's masterful performance - at age 10. Welcome to Angelina's world! Angelina Jordan from Norway just turned 17 this month & has well over 180 covers along with some original songs readily available on TH-cam. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers - I highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. And why did she go on NGT at age 7? Well - she actually wanted to go on there earlier, but 7 was the minimum age. And/or - to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to watch her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Artist, singer, composer, arranger, published author, humanitarian. An amazing human. She says she was born to sing for the world. And she has a loving, supportive family that helps her on her journey and protects her from the world.
Ancient Greek Philosopher Plato said that "Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form". I think Plato must have Forseen the coming of Angelina Jordan when he scribed this beautiful quote!. Never in my 55 years on this Earth have i witnessed anything as beautiful as Angelina's Voice! Passion! Humanity, Humility and Pure Love for life and People. Great reaction and you got a sub from me so i can join you on your Angelina Journey.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! She is so much more than just talent. You are about to fall 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 (160+ 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! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. It is tempting to think one so young cannot know of what she sings, but somehow Angelina does! 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. Wait until you figure out why she performs barefoot! 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.
Hello, Jennifer🙂 First time seeing your channel. I really liked your reaction, though I have to say you should have played the whole performance through. More out of respect for the artist than anything else. Her fans have already heard this performance countless times 🙂 You cut it short in both ends. With that being said, I have definitely subscribed to your channel in hope that you will react some more to her. At this stage you may have a hunch, but I can assure you that you haven't got the slightest clue about what you've just stumbled across. I will be here to watch you come to that realization, for sure. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
New sub for AJs music. I’m sure you already got some answers during your web search. Angelina is never coached into anything she sings. She’s already the boss at10 and control of her destiny. Her family are amazing, protecting and guiding her. Turning down most offers to many prestigious companies in the business. Angelina signed with Republic records at 14 stipulated not to promote until graduation. 😊
Welcome Jennifer! This was a good first introduction to Angelina, I think she will prove to be an exception to your child singer beliefs. Recommend you read the biography provided by Andy Schnell in the comments, many of your questions will be answered. Many of us feel that Angelina is an empath and is truly able to feel and express the emotions of the songs she sings, even at these young ages. I sincerely hope you will react more to Angelina, you will not regret it! Also, please let the videos run to the end. Angelina often smiles and or waves and says "bye" at the end of her videos. Plus it's good for her algorithm, just as we should watch your video to the end to help your algorithm. Looking forward to more Angelina from you!
If you stuck around to the end you would seen just how happy she was after that performance... And you can't tell me if you closed her eye's you wouldn't have ever guessed in a million years how old she was and if she could feel what she was singing... Cause you would of totally thought she was a 30 year woman or more, and if that's the case.. What does her age really matter in that case? She has many masterpieces at age 10... It's insane really - not kidding here. lol She is fantastic at all ages... Don't just watch the newest ones or you will miss out on many a masterpiece. :)
Singing is as important as breathing for her ❤️ And yes, she loves it ❤️ And her family is amazing and made her go through school and be a child and teenager before she becomes big in the business and I think that is pretty amazing and what you should do ❤️ Angelina has 180 songs on TH-cam from the age of 6 to 16 ❤️ I have 30 songs in my top 10 so they are really amazing ❤️ Have a great day 👍
@@kentovewagenes1141 Oh yes for sure because once a song is in the "top ten" they can not be removed so continuously getting larger which is always a good thing.
Wondering if she had fun??? There is nothing that can make this girl so happy as to perform live for an audience! Also many, mostly older people, have convinced her that her voice moves people and comforts them! So she grew up knowing that her singing serves a purpose! You will find out soon if you do some research. Her fans (like me) adore her!
Her "Shield" (her family) along with her multicultural and Nordic background has produced a well-balanced individual. Angelina knows as well as everyone else that she has unique talents, but it does not inflate her ego or reduce her innate humility. As she said when she was 6 years old when she met the poor girl that caused her to always perform barefoot, her wish was to sing to the whole world - which is exactly what she is achieving in her own quiet way.
What was interesting about that statement about Angelina not smiling and looked like she wasn't having fun is the very thing that makes people dislike child singers .. their mothers and voice teachers always telling them to smile. I believe she was looking for things not to like her for. She was so very sure she didn't like child singers ..
Hi Jennifer, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all 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 every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany
Angelina's performance didn't seem so boring to me and so bad that you have to stop her performance before the end. I'm really sorry for you that I know by heart all the covers and originals of Angelina that have been released and there is no reason or need for me to interrupt her performance. It was really disrespectful. 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
You will soon see, you are wrong with your comment she couldn't feel the emotions of the Song. It's the opportunity she's the most emotional Singer I ever heard 😇😂☺️ goosebumps and wet eyes with a lot of her Songs. She's a bunch over 180 Songs on YT 🎵🎸🔥
She just turned 17. Her concert outside in Norway was magnificent. Try her original from the summer which is 2 years after she first rendition of million miles written for her grandpa that had just passed.
New Sub here. Love the reaction. All the research you need will be right here in the comments. AJ has a dedicated fan base like no other. This child has been singing for 8 years leading up to this performance. She is the most talented versatile and humble artist I've ever seen in 67 years. You'll see. Suggestion, run her videos until the end, always. This one had her smiling at the end, what you were looking for. She many times waves and says bye". Also nice to include her links . Enjoy the journey.
One of the best things about Angelina compared to many other talents on YT is that you can actually pronounce her last name without making a fool out of yourself 😁 Lovely reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 🌹 About her smile.. If you had let the video run to the end, you would have seen a lovely and typical '10y old girl' giggle' as the audience applauded her performance 💖
Yes indeed! The Las three words of the song (which wer cut off) are like a beautiful soft exclamation point at the end of a sentence. 😕 Great reaction though. 😉👍
The journey has begun. It's a fun and impressive ride. Angelina has never been a "child singer" even when she was a child singing. I've tried to get into Diana and Dimash, but they do not connect to me the way that Angelina does. I await your next AJ reaction. Please respect the artist by finishing their vide...
Enjoyed your disclaimer about children singers, wasn't surprised at the very beginning of her performance "that's a big voice for a little girl" I chuckled heartily when you said "I hope she's having fun" and "she's too young" (in regards to understanding the lyrics).. and that you forgot her age, when you winced while she climbed up her little vocal ladder just to growl her way down (you expected excellence from the "child") already setting a bar for her. I really liked that you stuttered a bit when you tried to find words for your final determination and I LOVED that you ended up saying you needed to do a little research, now that she's older (turned 17 earlier this month) "what she's doing now"... Well, I'm certain you'll be pleasantly surprised from the responses (both quantity and quality) you'll be inundated with from us ANGEL's (the sign name for Angelina fans). She was named a National Treasure in her home country of Norway, a published author @ 9yrs old, a Philanthropist @ 8yrs old (donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent) to children's charities.. sung @Nobel Awards, for President's, for Quincy Jones' 85th Birthday Gala (at his invitation AND he designated her to be the opening act, (at 12 yrs old singing FLY ME TO THE MOON with full orchestra) plus called her "the best voice he's heard since Michael Jackson". I LOVED the SMILES you shared and positive comments like "Holy crap" and "this girl can sing" and you're"anxious" to learn more...your curiosity has been stirred, her voice has attracted your interest and Angelina has made another " Reactor" think twice about the possibility this was a child Prodigy (based on her natural talents and gifted voice) writing original songs, etc., etc. Looking forward to see what you pick to view next.. there's at least 150+ songs to choose from😂😂😂 PEACE & BLESSINGS. 🎶🎷🎹🎼🎻🎧🎙️🎤🎵👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru TH-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
... Oh - and another little plea: Many videos with Angelina are interesting in the whole length - in particular, her own videos are elaborate arranged from the first to the last second; so please don't cut any parts of her videos if you don't want to miss interesting scenes and helpful hints 😉 And a big wish: It would help Angelina - and I think you would like to help her - if you put the link to her video you reacted to and may be also to her web-site, YT channels,... in the description. Some other reactors even ask the people to watch the original video too and like it too for to support Angelina - you know: Because of the algorythm... 😉 (all the links to her web sites, YT-channels and the web site of Republic Records with her introduction you find in my first comment 😃 ) ...I promise to hit the like button if you add these or at least the link to the video you reacted to and let me know :)))) Thanks a billion and all the best Andreas 😎
Angelina's physical body was 10 years old for this performance but her soul was older than the hills. I have heard, many times in my 64 years, that person was born to sing. Once I learned about Angelina and listened to her sing in at least 8 different genres before becoming a teen, I now believe she is THE ONLY one who was truly born to sing. Like you, I used to believe children vocalists can't evoke emotion because they haven't lived a life. I no longer believe that and I know for myself and countless others, Angelina is the ultimate singer story teller whose voice has a positive physical effect, like it is hugging my soul. All you need to do is to listen to her 180 or so songs she has available and then tell me otherwise. There is no need to wait for Angelina to get older than her current 17, you will be surprised and pleased by each and every of the 180 songs already available. I prefer her versions of jazz standards over all of the greats who are smiling in heaven because Angelina is keeping their music alive. Please take the time to read the biography for my all time favorite musical artist whose talents are only exceeded by her humility and empathy. 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. 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 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. 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.
@@lindathompson3982 You are most welcome. Nearly 3 years after first hearing Angelina sing, I am still learning about the most intriguing musical artist of my 64 years.
She is 17 and better than ever, she sings writes songs she has wrote kids books she plays panio.ect and she models too.she has her name in the walk of fam.shes world class fact
Hi, Jennifer. You will probably hear from many of Angelina's fans about starting and stopping your viewing of the videos at appropriate, respectful spots. And they will suggest that you give credit to the performer by providing links in your description to the original video, as well as links to their own YT channel(s). I hope you will look at those comments positively, as they are actually meant to help you grow your channel. And, of course, this goes for all videos that you react to, Angelina or not. That said ... nice reaction to Angelina's 10 year old performance. I hope you continue to discover more about this amazing artist.
Oh hello there! I see you found Angelina Jordan which means that you found a large fan base who will, with great pleasure, tell you all you need to fall in her halo with the rest of us 💗 welcome 🤗
Thanks, Õle. You seem to have said it all. Angelina has arrived, and the rest of the world will soon realize it when Republic Records releases her album this year.
Angelina was a child singer with an adult voice when she was 7-10 yo, but by 10 she had left her child voice behind & was a full fledged vocal artist of the highest caliber. Since then she has continued to improve & perfect her craft on her way to become the G.O.A.T. I gave this 1st video of her a like &, assuming you react to more of her performances, I will subscribe.
Don't let the paradigm, that young singers cannot express emotions while singing, affect your judgement. Even if that may be true for most, it is not for her. How does she do it? hard to tell... after all... that's the beauty of being a prodigy, right?
My favorite performance by Angelina ... Nobody sings this song better than she! Nobody!! So Perfect … Absolutely world class ... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
I've been a huge fan of Angelina for over 6 years. I've heard every one of her covers and originals (around 200 and counting) at least 100 times each. Every time she sings she touches me emotionally in some way. No other artist in my 68 years has ever done that. All that being said, just as you aren't a fan of child singers, I am not a fan of "reactors" that pause so often (7 times) to talk about trivial things, and then cut the video off at the end. I wish you luck with your channel, but this wasn't something I'd rush back to watch again.
AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years and toured with Barbara Streisand accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show that aired Dec 23 of 21, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.)
Thank you for your reaction. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Angie has always been the driving force behind her dreams) (Why does Angie performs barefoot. Please watch. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html) Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices with a Mona Lisa smile” & the "Queen of jazz". Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combinded with narrative music, another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Her musicality & music intelligence have always been of the charts, (Prodigy)
Hi there - welcome to the miraculess endless World of Angelina Jordan Astar born January 10. 2006 in Oslo - just turned 17 this year she is a hidden secret in the music Industrie as her family and she herself wanted to have a childhood and best education - this year she will graduate and her new Album will apeare mid or end of the year - Angelina is imho the best voice current with a unique way to convey emotions of her music to any listener - i saw her last year live from close distance at her last concert in Norway and she is unbeliaveble good and true to herself - Angelinas inner beauty outshines her undisputable outer beauty a lot because if you take your time to read the comments from others you will soon realise this - a huge big heart for children and climate Problems - she helps collecting millions of Dollars for this causes - after she had won Norway got Talent she had travelled the world singing for royaties and state leaders even at peace price celebration in Front of the winners - why she always performs bearfeet other Angels will tell you - cheers from Germany
She is in her happy place, the stage, orchestra, audience, singing her heart out. She begged her mom to let her sing on the stage at Norway's Got Talent, where she sang jazz and blues in her third language of English at 7 years old, and won. At the point in this video she had been singing for over 7 years and recoding for at least 5 years. But her parents have turned down many professional offers so she would have a chance at a relatively normal childhood. Angelina is destined to be among the top vocalists of our age, while still today at 17 she is a very humble and gentle soul.
Welcome to AJ's world, her voice in this performance was great, you will like it now at 17 and listen to her evolution from performances on Norway's Got Talent, which she won at age 7. Her inspirations are Billie Holiday, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Pasty Kline, Dinah Washington, Louie Armstrong ---- JAZZ. Thanks for a great reaction.
Nice reaction. I don't think you need to worry about Angelina. She is self driven, self-motivated, and loves singing on stage more than anything. She is well protected by her family and limits her performances and insists she has as normal a childhood and schooling as she can. From what I understand, Angelina is looking forward to finishing school and releasing her 1st album this summer.
Tech recommendation: Whenever you pause to comment on the song, be sure to jump back ~5 seconds before you restart it. This lets us get back into the music. This is easily done with the back arrow key on a computer or taping the left side of the video watched on a smartphone. Otherwise, it is too choppy.
Jennifer, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Your reaction was very nice and your comments are not off base because you haven't heard enough from her yet. But, Angelina is not a normal 10 year old in this video. As you start to hear more you will understand what is going on here. You will realize she is singing 'for you' rather than to you. All of this will come in time.
About her being too young to feel the emotions behind the song: Interestingly enough, she has been singing similarly "grown-up" songs *convincingly* since she was much younger than 10. It seems that she possesses extraordinary empathy, such that she has been absorbing the emotions of the music she has been listening to since, literally, the cradle. One could argue that she cannot possibly *understand the circumstances* giving rise to those emotions in the songs, but she is definitely feeling the emotions themselves. At least that is my conclusion after having repeatedly watched well over a hundred of her performances. New sub, greetings from Greece, hope to see you react to many more of her performances.
Even the NGT judge on Angelina’s second public performance mentioned how some people question a young person’s singing with emotion, and he conceded that he felt the sadness she was conveying.
She walked the streets with her Grandfather in Oslo visiting the poor and helping them out. I believe she already had a huge understanding of empathy and compassion that comes out in her music.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: th-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/w-d-xo.html
Madam, Angelina was born (gift of God/Allah/Universe) with a slightly longer neck, larynx and vocal chords, hence her deep voice. Respected Vocal coaches estimate her singing voice to be contralto and her reach between 2,5 and 4 octaves. She mostly uses the 2,5 part. The other gifts are her high intelligence, mathematic and language ability. Speaking Norwegian, Swedish, English, Farsi/Persian, Japanese, a bit of German and French and now learning Spanish, it seems. Her instruments are the piano and the guitar for sure, it is said there are more, but I never saw her play them. She is also a very good seamstress, CEO of her own company and humanitarian. Be safe, sound and happy. "Listen" to Andy Schnell he knows his Angelina Stuff.😃 Elmar from Germany.
I love it when people start their first reactions to Angelina warning that they're not a fan of child singers. That almost always means they're going to be totally blown away by her.🤗
Here performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT has now been viewed over 150 MILLION times, and she has over 150 TH-cam videos that are like nothing you have ever experienced in your life.
Yes, she's having lot's if fun, as she stated repeatetly and credibly that singing, and especially singing on big stages, is what she enjoys most. But others have addressed that she smiles little, which fan Rusty Shakleford tried to debunk with this fan made video of her singing 'When You're Smiling": th-cam.com/video/rGOxjqXBW_E/w-d-xo.html
Ohh… you stopped the video to early … if you are wondering if Angelina is having fun, you should have seen the video to the end. One Big smile at the end.. but… your loss😞
Hi Jennifer, welcome to Angelinas world. It is hard to be blessed/cursed with a gift like this. Angelina is so lucky to be raised in Norway with parents that first wanted Angelina to be a child. Even the judges at Norway got talent told that they was afreid that Angelinas life could be hard for her but they was happy that her families 1. priority was to protect her. If you want to see her having fun on stage see this one: Angelina Jordan - Something's Got a Hold On Me (Allsang på grensen 2017) th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
Sheesh Ms Jennifer,Why so anxious to cut AJ off..didn’t even let her finish the tune..she is 17 now and her latest drop was her cover of Elvis Presley Suspicious Minds last June..and her first album inJuly of this year…
Genius Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past.
Well i believe many of Angelina,'s fans have stated it well enough, but yeah you will soon discover why so many people love her and support her, Angelina is beautiful, completely!
I want to welcome you into Angelina's army of angels I hope you continue down this remarkable girl's rabbit hole, you will find the most talented vocalist there is and many believe as I do the best ever.
The case she was reading the people that listen to her she’s not nervous she’s not afraid she’s not jealous. She’s a fat one of the best thing I’ve ever heard
2 must sees from last year are SUSPICIOUS MINDS, and Adeles EASY ON ME. But the one everybody will recommend is from when she was 9 years old. A year before this I PUT A SPELL ON YOU.
Tiny Little Girl Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.
If you’re looking for the shock factor on what she sounds like today and how developed her skills are, consider her live version of labyrinth’s MOUNT EVEREST from July 2022 ❤️🙏🏼
Hi Jennifer, welcome to the circle of dependent Angelina fans. Probably no one warned you that if you dare to listen to just one song of hers, it can become an addiction to her voice. Anyway, enjoy it and have a good time. Uwe from Berlin, Germany
She started her first studio recording at age 6, went on TV at age 7 at norways got talent, won NGT at age 8, sang her black and white version of "I Put A Spell on You" at age 9, this one at 10 also Her singing Disco at 10 With "I Will Survive" as well as "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded" at Allen Walkers back home concert, and "Still Holding Out For You" all were at 10yrs old.. then she did lots of covers at 11 and 12 including "Stay", "Shield" , "I'd Rather go Blind" The she came to the USA to interduce herself to us on AGT2020 with her Owen version of Queen, Others on here will ad all the links because once you hear AJ once you get all of us with her,,,, and there is a bunch of us!!
Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 17 (as of 1/10/2023 ) years old and stands around 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one : ( th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html )
plus a new release in month April 2021 of '7 th Heaven" link: (th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html )
And her latest awesome cover of "My Funny Valentine" at her current age of just 16. : ( th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html ) She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. : To bring you up to date on her background: th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the link th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html 2. Oslo,, th-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/w-d-xo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html 4. Above the water,, th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html ( plus a few more recent originals from her not listed here) Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert. When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan girl she met girl whom was around her own age of around 6 years old who had no shoes and had scars on her feet; and also to bring awareness to children around the world who are in a similar situations . The little girl was weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made becuase of the encounter with this little orphan girl from then on . Angelina has honored that pledge to bring awareness for orphan and shoeless children around the world by performing always barefoot since that time , now ten years ago ,as she is currently 17 years old as of January 2023
Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a octave range that matches Whitney Huston but she excels in her lower register and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
Angelina Jordan lives the same sort of thing at age 18 months is six years I wanna sing for the world and bring your love and joy this girl is fantastic. You don’t understand what’s going on with her but she’s got a boy so this world one-of-a-kind cabbage, moth. The timer for boys can I
I'm a little disappointed by this reaction. Angelina arranged this performance. It is a masterpiece. Your reaction reminded me of someone looking at the Grand Canyon and saying, " not bad. What's next?"
Jennifer, you were surprised! You, and others, have said that Angelina couldn’t possibly understand the emotions behind songs like this, but yet she conveys meaning and emotion better than any living vocalist. Even more as she grows older. What will she sound like at 24, and older. I’d like to be around to find out. I’ll be nearing 80.
Thank you for your reaction. A lot of wrong assumptions and please let the video play until the end. " To young to feel the emotions" .....go and watch her video where she read some of her content of her diary that she wrote when she was 6 yo. Not many adults will be able to feel that kind of emotions and put it into writing.

Believe me, no one enjoys singing more than Angelina.
You don't know who you bumped into, she just turned 17 and she's one of the best vocalists on the planet. Welcome into Angelina Jordan magical world of music and you bet she’s having fun.
Yes, she is having fun. Angelina has said many times that she is happiest when on stage, performing for a live audience. She has also said that she is never nervous when performing.
In the future, please show her the respect she deserves by letting her finish.
This girl genius has been giving concerts around the world for almost 10 years, and at age 12 she opened the show for Quincy Jones 85th birthday celebration in the 02 Arena in London, at his personal request.
Why cut the end of the song off
And the beginning…
You just did a great job with comments but started the song late and ended it early. Tish tish. I see you’re just getting started and I’m very glad you found Angelina Jordan. The other two artist you mentioned are both excellent. Both have beautiful voices and both use very dramatic staging movements. One sings so high only dogs can hear him.
Angelina has a solid jazz influence from a very early age and has many professional voice coaches describing her as a musical genius.
Thank you for delving into her background. So many people just assume things and never get the true picture. My fellow Angelina supporters are very loyal and are much better at helping with history lessons and know more about posting links and other technical things than I do so please read their comments.
Take care from Alaska and I’ll be back for sure!
Angelina has never had a childs voice
New subscriber - thanks to your very nice reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's masterful performance - at age 10. Welcome to Angelina's world! Angelina Jordan from Norway just turned 17 this month & has well over 180 covers along with some original songs readily available on TH-cam. But - in order to better understand her musical roots & early influencers - I highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. And why did she go on NGT at age 7? Well - she actually wanted to go on there earlier, but 7 was the minimum age. And/or - to really appreciate her raw talent, you need to watch her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Artist, singer, composer, arranger, published author, humanitarian. An amazing human. She says she was born to sing for the world. And she has a loving, supportive family that helps her on her journey and protects her from the world.
Angelina Jordan will certainly change your mind on child singers.
Ancient Greek Philosopher Plato said that "Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form". I think Plato must have Forseen the coming of Angelina Jordan when he scribed this beautiful quote!. Never in my 55 years on this Earth have i witnessed anything as beautiful as Angelina's Voice! Passion! Humanity, Humility and Pure Love for life and People. Great reaction and you got a sub from me so i can join you on your Angelina Journey.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! She is so much more than just talent. You are about to fall 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 (160+ 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!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. It is tempting to think one so young cannot know of what she sings, but somehow Angelina does! 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. Wait until you figure out why she performs barefoot!
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.
Here to support AJ
Hello, Jennifer🙂 First time seeing your channel. I really liked your reaction, though I have to say you should have played the whole performance through. More out of respect for the artist than anything else. Her fans have already heard this performance countless times 🙂 You cut it short in both ends. With that being said, I have definitely subscribed to your channel in hope that you will react some more to her. At this stage you may have a hunch, but I can assure you that you haven't got the slightest clue about what you've just stumbled across. I will be here to watch you come to that realization, for sure. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Ditto...
She really smiled at the end before you cut it off. Amazing talent
Most people hate when you cut the song before it is finished, me includet. That said, I hope to see you back with more Angelina.
Oh, she's having fun. Lots of fun. It's AJ, as you'll discover.
New sub for AJs music. I’m sure you already got some answers during your web search.
Angelina is never coached into anything she sings. She’s already the boss at10 and control of her destiny. Her family are amazing, protecting and guiding her. Turning down most offers to many prestigious companies in the business.
Angelina signed with Republic records at 14 stipulated not to promote until graduation.
😊
Welcome Jennifer! This was a good first introduction to Angelina, I think she will prove to be an exception to your child singer beliefs. Recommend you read the biography provided by Andy Schnell in the comments, many of your questions will be answered.
Many of us feel that Angelina is an empath and is truly able to feel and express the emotions of the songs she sings, even at these young ages. I sincerely hope you will react more to Angelina, you will not regret it!
Also, please let the videos run to the end. Angelina often smiles and or waves and says "bye" at the end of her videos. Plus it's good for her algorithm, just as we should watch your video to the end to help your algorithm. Looking forward to more Angelina from you!
If you stuck around to the end you would seen just how happy she was after that performance... And you can't tell me if you closed her eye's you wouldn't have ever guessed in a million years how old she was and if she could feel what she was singing... Cause you would of totally thought she was a 30 year woman or more, and if that's the case.. What does her age really matter in that case?
She has many masterpieces at age 10... It's insane really - not kidding here. lol
She is fantastic at all ages... Don't just watch the newest ones or you will miss out on many a masterpiece. :)
Singing is as important as breathing for her ❤️ And yes, she loves it ❤️ And her family is amazing and made her go through school and be a child and teenager before she becomes big in the business and I think that is pretty amazing and what you should do ❤️ Angelina has 180 songs on TH-cam from the age of 6 to 16 ❤️ I have 30 songs in my top 10 so they are really amazing ❤️ Have a great day 👍
I agree Kent, I have 40 or so crowded into my top ten LOL.
@@brentravnsborg2782 With the release of her album this year, I believe my top 10 will get more crowded aswell 🤣❤️
@@kentovewagenes1141 Oh yes for sure because once a song is in the "top ten" they can not be removed so continuously getting larger which is always a good thing.
@@brentravnsborg2782 Love this statement! So so true!
Wondering if she had fun??? There is nothing that can make this girl so happy as to perform live for an audience! Also many, mostly older people, have convinced her that her voice moves people and comforts them! So she grew up knowing that her singing serves a purpose! You will find out soon if you do some research. Her fans (like me) adore her!
Her "Shield" (her family) along with her multicultural and Nordic background has produced a well-balanced individual. Angelina knows as well as everyone else that she has unique talents, but it does not inflate her ego or reduce her innate humility. As she said when she was 6 years old when she met the poor girl that caused her to always perform barefoot, her wish was to sing to the whole world - which is exactly what she is achieving in her own quiet way.
What was interesting about that statement about Angelina not smiling and looked like she wasn't having fun is the very thing that makes people dislike child singers .. their mothers and voice teachers always telling them to smile. I believe she was looking for things not to like her for. She was so very sure she didn't like child singers ..
Hi Jennifer, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all 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 every song and also transport many emotions and she has not only written around 170 covers but also 5 originals by her as well as 2 written for her which are all amazing and legendary even now and lots to tell, i look forward to more reactions and subscribed to you now, greetings from Germany
Angelina's performance didn't seem so boring to me and so bad that you have to stop her performance before the end. I'm really sorry for you that I know by heart all the covers and originals of Angelina that have been released and there is no reason or need for me to interrupt her performance. It was really disrespectful. 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
You will soon see, you are wrong with your comment she couldn't feel the emotions of the Song. It's the opportunity she's the most emotional Singer I ever heard 😇😂☺️ goosebumps and wet eyes with a lot of her Songs. She's a bunch over 180 Songs on YT 🎵🎸🔥
Oh boy you're in for a ride.
Why not listen til the end...?
this drives me up the wall, seems really common
She just turned 17. Her concert outside in Norway was magnificent. Try her original from the summer which is 2 years after she first rendition of million miles written for her grandpa that had just passed.
Here is a link to July 7 MM: th-cam.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/w-d-xo.html
New Sub here. Love the reaction. All the research you need will be right here in the comments. AJ has a dedicated fan base like no other. This child has been singing for 8 years leading up to this performance. She is the most talented versatile and humble artist I've ever seen in 67 years. You'll see. Suggestion, run her videos until the end, always. This one had her smiling at the end, what you were looking for. She many times waves and says bye". Also nice to include her links . Enjoy the journey.
One of the best things about Angelina compared to many other talents on YT is that you can actually pronounce her last name without making a fool out of yourself 😁 Lovely reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 🌹 About her smile.. If you had let the video run to the end, you would have seen a lovely and typical '10y old girl' giggle' as the audience applauded her performance 💖
I agree and the start of the song was cut off as well ? weird.
Yes indeed! The Las three words of the song (which wer cut off) are like a beautiful soft exclamation point at the end of a sentence. 😕
Great reaction though. 😉👍
She’s the best
The journey has begun. It's a fun and impressive ride. Angelina has never been a "child singer" even when she was a child singing. I've tried to get into Diana and Dimash, but they do not connect to me the way that Angelina does. I await your next AJ reaction. Please respect the artist by finishing their vide...
Nice! Got a little chuckle out of that and I also agree 100%.
Enjoyed your disclaimer about children singers, wasn't surprised at the very beginning of her performance "that's a big voice for a little girl" I chuckled heartily when you said "I hope she's having fun" and "she's too young" (in regards to understanding the lyrics).. and that you forgot her age, when you winced while she climbed up her little vocal ladder just to growl her way down (you expected excellence from the "child") already setting a bar for her. I really liked that you stuttered a bit when you tried to find words for your final determination and I LOVED that you ended up saying you needed to do a little research, now that she's older (turned 17 earlier this month)
"what she's doing now"... Well, I'm certain you'll be pleasantly surprised from the responses (both quantity and quality) you'll be inundated with from us ANGEL's (the sign name for Angelina fans). She was named a National Treasure in her home country of Norway, a published author @ 9yrs old, a Philanthropist @ 8yrs old (donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent) to children's charities.. sung @Nobel Awards, for President's, for Quincy Jones' 85th Birthday Gala (at his invitation AND he designated her to be the opening act, (at 12 yrs old singing FLY ME TO THE MOON with full orchestra) plus called her "the best voice he's heard since Michael Jackson". I LOVED the SMILES you shared and positive comments like "Holy crap" and "this girl can sing" and you're"anxious" to learn more...your curiosity has been stirred, her voice has attracted your interest and Angelina has made another " Reactor" think twice about the possibility this was a child Prodigy (based on her natural talents and gifted voice) writing original songs, etc., etc. Looking forward to see what you pick to view next.. there's at least 150+ songs to choose from😂😂😂 PEACE & BLESSINGS. 🎶🎷🎹🎼🎻🎧🎙️🎤🎵👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru TH-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻

Oh - and another little plea:
Many videos with Angelina are interesting in the whole length - in particular, her own videos are elaborate arranged from the first to the last second; so please don't cut any parts of her videos if you don't want to miss interesting scenes and helpful hints 😉
And a big wish: It would help Angelina - and I think you would like to help her - if you put the link to her video you reacted to and may be also to her web-site, YT channels,... in the description. Some other reactors even ask the people to watch the original video too and like it too for to support Angelina - you know: Because of the algorythm... 😉
(all the links to her web sites, YT-channels and the web site of Republic Records with her introduction you find in my first comment 😃 )
...I promise to hit the like button if you add these or at least the link to the video you reacted to and let me know :))))
Thanks a billion and all the best
Andreas

Angelina desde os 10 anos de idade,com certeza uma das melhores cantoras da atualidade....The best
Angelina's physical body was 10 years old for this performance but her soul was older than the hills. I have heard, many times in my 64 years, that person was born to sing. Once I learned about Angelina and listened to her sing in at least 8 different genres before becoming a teen, I now believe she is THE ONLY one who was truly born to sing. Like you, I used to believe children vocalists can't evoke emotion because they haven't lived a life. I no longer believe that and I know for myself and countless others, Angelina is the ultimate singer story teller whose voice has a positive physical effect, like it is hugging my soul.
All you need to do is to listen to her 180 or so songs she has available and then tell me otherwise. There is no need to wait for Angelina to get older than her current 17, you will be surprised and pleased by each and every of the 180 songs already available. I prefer her versions of jazz standards over all of the greats who are smiling in heaven because Angelina is keeping their music alive. Please take the time to read the biography for my all time favorite musical artist whose talents are only exceeded by her humility and empathy.
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. 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 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.
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.
Andy that is a wonderful introduction and tribute to Angelina. There is nothing I can add!
She performed for Quincy Jones at his request. Also, Queen allowed her to copywrite her version of BR.
@@ronraskind yes.
Thank you for making research as easy as just reading.😊👋
@@lindathompson3982 You are most welcome. Nearly 3 years after first hearing Angelina sing, I am still learning about the most intriguing musical artist of my 64 years.
She is 17 and better than ever, she sings writes songs she has wrote kids books she plays panio.ect and she models too.she has her name in the walk of fam.shes world class fact
Hi, Jennifer. You will probably hear from many of Angelina's fans about starting and stopping your viewing of the videos at appropriate, respectful spots. And they will suggest that you give credit to the performer by providing links in your description to the original video, as well as links to their own YT channel(s). I hope you will look at those comments positively, as they are actually meant to help you grow your channel. And, of course, this goes for all videos that you react to, Angelina or not.
That said ... nice reaction to Angelina's 10 year old performance. I hope you continue to discover more about this amazing artist.
Oh hello there! I see you found Angelina Jordan which means that you found a large fan base who will, with great pleasure, tell you all you need to fall in her halo with the rest of us 💗 welcome 🤗
Thanks, Õle. You seem to have said it all. Angelina has arrived, and the rest of the world will soon realize it when Republic Records releases her album this year.
Angelina was a child singer with an adult voice when she was 7-10 yo, but by 10 she had left her child voice behind & was a full fledged vocal artist of the highest caliber. Since then she has continued to improve & perfect her craft on her way to become the G.O.A.T. I gave this 1st video of her a like &, assuming you react to more of her performances, I will subscribe.
Don't let the paradigm, that young singers cannot express emotions while singing, affect your judgement. Even if that may be true for most, it is not for her. How does she do it? hard to tell... after all... that's the beauty of being a prodigy, right?
My favorite performance by Angelina ... Nobody sings this song better than she! Nobody!! So Perfect … Absolutely world class ... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
100% correct! We are of the same mind here.
She knows everything wake up
I've been a huge fan of Angelina for over 6 years. I've heard every one of her covers and originals (around 200 and counting) at least 100 times each. Every time she sings she touches me emotionally in some way. No other artist in my 68 years has ever done that. All that being said, just as you aren't a fan of child singers, I am not a fan of "reactors" that pause so often (7 times) to talk about trivial things, and then cut the video off at the end. I wish you luck with your channel, but this wasn't something I'd rush back to watch again.
Let her finish, you won't get many likes or subscribers that way!
🤔🤨
Agreed! Play the full feature. Why cut out 5-10 seconds. Those of us who appreciate Angelina notice this right away!
AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years and toured with Barbara Streisand accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show that aired Dec 23 of 21, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.)
Thank you for your reaction. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Angie has always been the driving force behind her dreams)
(Why does Angie performs barefoot. Please watch. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html) Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices with a Mona Lisa smile” & the "Queen of jazz". Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combinded with narrative music, another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Her musicality & music intelligence have always been of the charts, (Prodigy)
Yes! Research is definitely in order..
Enjoy!
Hi there - welcome to the miraculess endless World of Angelina Jordan Astar born January 10. 2006 in Oslo - just turned 17 this year she is a hidden secret in the music Industrie as her family and she herself wanted to have a childhood and best education - this year she will graduate and her new Album will apeare mid or end of the year - Angelina is imho the best voice current with a unique way to convey emotions of her music to any listener - i saw her last year live from close distance at her last concert in Norway and she is unbeliaveble good and true to herself - Angelinas inner beauty outshines her undisputable outer beauty a lot because if you take your time to read the comments from others you will soon realise this - a huge big heart for children and climate Problems - she helps collecting millions of Dollars for this causes - after she had won Norway got Talent she had travelled the world singing for royaties and state leaders even at peace price celebration in Front of the winners - why she always performs bearfeet other Angels will tell you - cheers from Germany
She is in her happy place, the stage, orchestra, audience, singing her heart out. She begged her mom to let her sing on the stage at Norway's Got Talent, where she sang jazz and blues in her third language of English at 7 years old, and won. At the point in this video she had been singing for over 7 years and recoding for at least 5 years. But her parents have turned down many professional offers so she would have a chance at a relatively normal childhood. Angelina is destined to be among the top vocalists of our age, while still today at 17 she is a very humble and gentle soul.
Welcome to AJ's world, her voice in this performance was great, you will like it now at 17 and listen to her evolution from performances on Norway's Got Talent, which she won at age 7.
Her inspirations are Billie Holiday, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Pasty Kline, Dinah Washington, Louie Armstrong ---- JAZZ.
Thanks for a great reaction.
Won NGT at 8.
Nice reaction. I don't think you need to worry about Angelina. She is self driven, self-motivated, and loves singing on stage more than anything. She is well protected by her family and limits her performances and insists she has as normal a childhood and schooling as she can. From what I understand, Angelina is looking forward to finishing school and releasing her 1st album this summer.
Tech recommendation:
Whenever you pause to comment on the song, be sure to jump back ~5 seconds before you restart it. This lets us get back into the music. This is easily done with the back arrow key on a computer or taping the left side of the video watched on a smartphone. Otherwise, it is too choppy.
Thank you for sharing that with Jennifer;
very helpful all 'round.
Time to listen to her Etta James classic
Jennifer, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Your reaction was very nice and your comments are not off base because you haven't heard enough from her yet. But, Angelina is not a normal 10 year old in this video. As you start to hear more you will understand what is going on here. You will realize she is singing 'for you' rather than to you. All of this will come in time.
About her being too young to feel the emotions behind the song: Interestingly enough, she has been singing similarly "grown-up" songs *convincingly* since she was much younger than 10. It seems that she possesses extraordinary empathy, such that she has been absorbing the emotions of the music she has been listening to since, literally, the cradle. One could argue that she cannot possibly *understand the circumstances* giving rise to those emotions in the songs, but she is definitely feeling the emotions themselves. At least that is my conclusion after having repeatedly watched well over a hundred of her performances. New sub, greetings from Greece, hope to see you react to many more of her performances.
Even the NGT judge on Angelina’s second public performance mentioned how some people question a young person’s singing with emotion, and he conceded that he felt the sadness she was conveying.
She walked the streets with her Grandfather in Oslo visiting the poor and helping them out. I believe she already had a huge understanding of empathy and compassion that comes out in her music.
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: th-cam.com/video/HKK66K5u1Fc/w-d-xo.html
Great first reaction to Angelina! Just subscribed, hope to see more from Angelina soon.
Great first reaction.??? Truly.....
@@albertphilippi4371 mind your own fuckin business
Madam, Angelina was born (gift of God/Allah/Universe) with a slightly longer neck, larynx and vocal chords, hence her deep voice. Respected Vocal coaches estimate her singing voice to be contralto and her reach between 2,5 and 4 octaves. She mostly uses the 2,5 part. The other gifts are her high intelligence, mathematic and language ability. Speaking Norwegian, Swedish, English,
Farsi/Persian, Japanese, a bit of German and French and now learning Spanish, it seems. Her instruments are the piano and the guitar for sure, it is said there are more, but I never saw her play them. She is also a very good seamstress, CEO of her own company and humanitarian.
Be safe, sound and happy.
"Listen" to Andy Schnell he knows his Angelina Stuff.😃
Elmar from Germany.
I love it when people start their first reactions to Angelina warning that they're not a fan of child singers. That almost always means they're going to be totally blown away by her.🤗
That made me smile, too!
New Subscriber for Angelina,
Lucky you, you just stumbled onto the greatest female vocalists of all times, not an opinion.
Here performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT has now been viewed over 150 MILLION times, and she has over 150 TH-cam videos that are like nothing you have ever experienced in your life.
Yes, she's having lot's if fun, as she stated repeatetly and credibly that singing, and especially singing on big stages, is what she enjoys most. But others have addressed that she smiles little, which fan Rusty Shakleford tried to debunk with this fan made video of her singing 'When You're Smiling": th-cam.com/video/rGOxjqXBW_E/w-d-xo.html
Most impressive beyond her voice? Jazz timing. She is a musical prodigy, not just vocal prodigy.
Ohh… you stopped the video to early … if you are wondering if Angelina is having fun, you should have seen the video to the end. One Big smile at the end.. but… your loss😞
Please watch her performance of I put a spell on you
Hi Jennifer, welcome to Angelinas world. It is hard to be blessed/cursed with a gift like this. Angelina is so lucky to be raised in Norway with parents that first wanted Angelina to be a child. Even the judges at Norway got talent told that they was afreid that Angelinas life could be hard for her but they was happy that her families 1. priority was to protect her. If you want to see her having fun on stage see this one: Angelina Jordan - Something's Got a Hold On Me (Allsang på grensen 2017) th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
Sheesh Ms Jennifer,Why so anxious to cut AJ off..didn’t even let her finish the tune..she is 17 now and her latest drop was her cover of Elvis Presley Suspicious Minds last June..and her first album inJuly of this year…
Not her first album. See "It's Magic" 2018.
Genius
Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past.
The best version of this song ever !!!
Well i believe many of Angelina,'s fans have stated it well enough, but yeah you will soon discover why so many people love her and support her, Angelina is beautiful, completely!
I want to welcome you into Angelina's army of angels I hope you continue down this remarkable girl's rabbit hole, you will find the most talented vocalist there is and many believe as I do the best ever.
Angelina chooses the songs she sings and writes or supervises her own arrangements and has been doing so since 7/8 years old.
The case she was reading the people that listen to her she’s not nervous she’s not afraid she’s not jealous. She’s a fat one of the best thing I’ve ever heard
Huh? She was already crazy good here.
2 must sees from last year are SUSPICIOUS MINDS, and Adeles EASY ON ME. But the one everybody will recommend is from when she was 9 years old. A year before this I PUT A SPELL ON YOU.
Thanks you, but I'll hold my subscription till you watch a full video.
You aint seen nothin yet from her. Welcome to the world of Angelina.
THE MORE YOU HEAR THE MORE YOU WILL BE AMAZED FROM OUR BARE FOOT PRINCESS WELCOME TO THE RABBIT HOLE.
Tiny Little Girl
Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🇨🇦
If you’re looking for the shock factor on what she sounds like today and how developed her skills are, consider her live version of labyrinth’s MOUNT EVEREST from July 2022 ❤️🙏🏼
You cut off the beginning and the end of the video
Hi Jennifer, welcome to the circle of dependent Angelina fans. Probably no one warned you that if you dare to listen to just one song of hers, it can become an addiction to her voice. Anyway, enjoy it and have a good time. Uwe from Berlin, Germany

she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :
To bring you up to date on her background: th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html
(Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the link th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old )
later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing
1, Shield ,, th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
2. Oslo,, th-cam.com/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/w-d-xo.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway)
3. What Is Life,, .th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html
4. Above the water,, th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html
5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html
( plus a few more recent originals from her not listed here)
Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert.
When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan girl she met girl whom was around her own age of around 6 years old who had no shoes and had scars on her feet; and also to bring awareness to children around the world who are in a similar situations . The little girl was weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings.
Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made becuase of the encounter with this little orphan girl from then on . Angelina has honored that pledge to bring awareness for orphan and shoeless children around the world by performing always barefoot since that time , now ten years ago ,as she is currently 17 years old as of January 2023
Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a octave range that matches Whitney Huston but she excels in her lower register and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021.
Angelina any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
Just signed and just recorded are now a couple years passed.
Great reaction. Please do not stop until the performance has finished.
Yes...

Angelina Jordan lives the same sort of thing at age 18 months is six years I wanna sing for the world and bring your love and joy this girl is fantastic. You don’t understand what’s going on with her but she’s got a boy so this world one-of-a-kind cabbage, moth. The timer for boys can I
😎💙👍
I'm a little disappointed by this reaction. Angelina arranged this performance. It is a masterpiece. Your reaction reminded me of someone looking at the Grand Canyon and saying, " not bad. What's next?"
Jennifer, you were surprised! You, and others, have said that Angelina couldn’t possibly understand the emotions behind songs like this, but yet she conveys meaning and emotion better than any living vocalist. Even more as she grows older. What will she sound like at 24, and older. I’d like to be around to find out. I’ll be nearing 80.
She is now 17 , she won Norways got talent at age 8 , been singing since the age of 1 1/2
Why did you cut off the end of the song? She goes deeper with her voice at the end.
Thank you for your reaction. A lot of wrong assumptions and please let the video play until the end. " To young to feel the emotions" .....go and watch her video where she read some of her content of her diary that she wrote when she was 6 yo. Not many adults will be able to feel that kind of emotions and put it into writing.
Always wait for the end of her video's. You will learn more about her personality and crowd reactions.
