Think about this performance in light of Norwegian as her first language, English as her second language, and Farsi as her third...at the age of 9. Angelina is incredible.
There were 4 vignettes that relate directly to her life. The bare feet she will always perform bare footed because of a street girl who had scales and was guessing peoples weight to earn money long story somebody will write better, she promised as a remembarence of this girl to always perform that way. It also serves as a reminder to to the rest of us that there are many people who have no shoes or even have the choice to wear their shoes or not. She even wrote a children's book, around this time of this video, that was illustrated by her grandma Mery Zamani who was a child prodigy in painting and poetry growing up in Iran. The second scene she is making changes to the score at the last minute. Angelina not only picks the songs she will sing, but she also arranges them how she wants them to be played. While singing is her main gift she has become a first class arranger. She started learning composition and theory at around 5-6 years old. And she is definitely in charge, the musicians who played with her gave her the nickname 'The Boss' at around 6. Angelina is not just a great singer she is a musician. She hears a song, likes it, sings it for awhile and the ideas start to come. When she decides how she wants the song to go that is it and she will not be deterred in her singing it her way. The third scene is of her partner in crime, grandma Mery who started introducing Angelina to Jazz and eventually Billie Holiday. Who was a major influence to desire to sing. (Oh, an add-on to the shoe story, that I feel is interesting. The shoes that Angelina gave the girl were her !!!favorite!!! pair of boots. I do not know what favorite means, or meant to you when 6 years old. But I can tell you if they were my favorite anything, she would still be bare foot. When I was 5-6 years old the things that meant everything to me were the clothes I wore, usually the same thing 3-4 days in a row with Mom stealing them at night to wash them. For which I still nurture a grudge though she has been gone almost 20 years.) The final scene was her candle with the picture of the original artist and writer of this song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins. A muscical genius whose music struck a cord with Angelina and here it is. She has done this little vignette thing a couple of times they're not just cutesy things, they tell an important part of her life to that point. So until the next time.
Buckle up... You are in for a shock and a treat. Empress of Jazz gonna steal your heart and demand respect. I really feel she is the best vocalist on ANY stage today. She knows her craft and understands how music gets inside you and she CAN make you laugh, cry, smile, ... Just name the emotion.
My reaction to this was identical to yours. I now have listened to over 100 of Angelina's videos and I can't get enough. She is totally amazing. God bless her for bringing joy to the world in this trying time.
WHen she (age 7) was on Norway's got talent, one of the judges remarked: she must have been drinking whiskey since she was 2 years old. Same reaction you had.
She began singing at 1-1/2...she was raised on Jazz by her grandmother...playing for her all the standards...Ella, Diana, Gershwin, Billie Holiday, Louis, etc. You should check her national debut on Norway's Got Talent, with English subtitles. She is Norwegian...but speaks several languages. Japanese, English, I'd imagine French or Italian. She plays several instruments and writes all her arrangements including this one. It's her Homage to the original artist Screaming Jay Hawkins. You saw his picture she held up on that candle. She sings barefoot every time she sings as a protest to shoeless children. And that's a whole study in itself. She gave her shoes to a shoeless girl she memet in the Mid East and has raised over $10 Million so far. Check her live guitar only seasons. If you want to hear some very impressive recordings besides her debut find her recording at 10 yrs of, I'm still Holding Out for You. And her singing her version of Summer Time with full Orchestra in Kork, Norway. It's different in subtle ways than her tribute to Ella and Billie from Norway's Got Talent. Oh, that was when she was 7 and won it at 8 yrs old.
I just don’t know where you’ve been.I find it really hard to believe you’ve never heard of her . I’m 70 years old and I’ve loved lots of female singers. but not one of them has the talent Angelina has. She’s truly a miracle sent down from heaven for all of us to enjoy. She never wears shoes when she’s performing because when she was on holiday in Asia with her family she saw a little girl the same age as she was . She noticed she wasn’t wearing shoes and had scares all over her feet. Long story short she took off her new shoes and gave them to the little girl. She vowed then she would not perform with shoes on until every child in the world had shoes. She’s 17 now over 6ft and very Beautiful.The little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day . Angelina has always reminded this and she’s still true to word . She’s raised millions for children’s charities. She’s very humble and has a heart of gold. Her grandma Mery brought her up on jazz . Angelina can sing anything. Welcome to the world of Angelina. Great Reaction love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶🦶👍👍
Over 11M views on TH-cam. She was recording this at 8 years old and it was published when she was 9 years, 2 months. Jalacy “Screamin’ Jay” Hawkins is on the Candle. Angelina arranged this at 8 and recorded this at 9. She hands over additional notes, which is then passed on to conductor. He smiles and nods. She has included All the nuances of the original, and of no other artist. How, at 9yrs 2mos, she can get as low as F3, is preposterous! This was first written/composed, then recorded, in 1955. His 1956 recording was selected as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.” This is the recording which Angelina covered! I saw him perform this Live, on American Bandstand. The Link is as follows: 🌸🌺 m.th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html
Ah, first timers, are we? Well, pull up your chairs. You're late to the show, but strap in and let the binge begin. You won't regret finding our little queen of jazz

At the end of February Angelina performed on the global 2022 FIFA awards ceremony. A TikTok short of her with the stars of FIFA now has over 27M views. Her YT Bohemian Rhapsody videos from AGT's Champions have collective views over 100M. She's making a name for herself world-wide, and the bes is yet to come with the release this year of her first Republic Records album. Hople you continue to react to our Barefoot Princess.
Yes. She’s 17 now and has signed with Republic Records. She will be putting out a new album this year. She was 8 years old when she won Norway’s Got Talent. At the age of six, she did four studio recordings, my favorite one was “I, who have nothing “. She also wrote a book titled “Between Two Hearts” in which she explains why she performs barefoot. The book is illustrated her grandmother. Besides her singing, she is the youngest published author in Norway.
Mark it on your calendar--the day you made this video is your "Angel Birthday" and now you are counting your Angelina years of your years on Planet Angelina!!! She made her video debut at one and one-half singing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." It is an interchanging of her singing, a recharging drink from her baby bottle, a little more Whitney, and into our world rolls one of life's unexplainable delights. My "Angelina age" is about from two months before her "America's Got Talent" debut at one- and one-half years of age. In it she is interchanging bits of Whitney's "I Have Nothing" with drinks from her clutched baby bottle. Grab hold and enjoy your travels 😮on the "Angelina Magic Carpet ride through space toward Planet Angelina!!!
One more comment. You mentioned the bare feet. Once you read the story on why she performs bare feet, you’ll absolutely fall in love with her. This planet is extremely lucky to have a beautiful human like her.
She's a reincarnation of ALL the great singers ( especially jazz singers ) that had ever came before..She also seems to have that 'old soul' about her...Great reaction my friends. Cheers
I think that is one of the best pieces of music ever recorded. Angelina’s voice is sensational! I mean, who else sings like that? She is my favorite singers of all time. Anyways, for the record, she’s just as incredible now. Just a little older. She is even more beautiful… still has an unbelievably stunning voice. Still has a huge following of amazing fans that all love the heck out of her. Check out her version of “Fly Me To The Moon,” when you get a chance. The that she sung in a yellow dress while rehearsing with an orchestra. That’s one of my all-time favorites, (as if it’s possible to have one). Just turn up the volume, and listen to her voice. It’s as close to perfection as I’ve ever heard; and yet, she made it seam so effortless. Let me know what you think. I do always wonder if other folks like that one as much as I do. ☮️
Her first album is cut. It should drop this summer with a Concert tour to launch it. I pray she does not let them burn her out or change her. She is Absolutely Perfect as she is.
Strap yourselves in, guys. You are in for the ride of your life. She has flown under the radar of most folks until now on purpose. Her family decided early on that she would have as normal a childhood as possible, so they purportedly refused offers from some heavyweights in the industry. You're going to find out that there are LOTS of videos of her performing in summer concerts and at charity events as well as even more of her simply singing into a camera at home. Anyway, she is 17 now and graduating this year. She signed with Republic Records when she was 14, and it has been reported that one of the conditions was that they NOT promote her until she finished school. Well, we are on the doorstep of that event now. She is not only an incredible musical prodigy but a golden soul as well. Get to know her and I have a feeling you'll be joining the community of her supporters that she calls her Angels...I'm looking forward to accompanying you on your adventure!
Excellent synopsis of this incredible young talent Dharmabum! Well said. Of course, there’s SO much to know about Angelina the person… the beautiful human being that she is. Let the journey begin… 😉 ❤️❤️❤️👣
Accurately stated. AJ is a prodigy. A genuine phenom. Any singers you’ve known in the past whom many thought were prodigies, but simply impressed because they were young, eg; Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Brenda Lee or Michael Jackson etc, none come close to this level. Not at 7-9 yrs of age. None of them. But this young girl has reset the bar at a level so high… I just don’t see any other person at that age past or present come close. The blonde girl, Evancho or however her name his spelled , she is an operatic singer and very good. But not like this. And the crazy thing is, how AJ takes great songs from great singers like Billie, Nora, Adele and even Whitney, and makes their songs sound fresh and original and unique. Anyway, you detailed everything so much better than I ever could. I just think she’s the best ever and I’m 70 years old. I shouldn’t feel this way … and that’s the spell AJ has put on all of us.
This angel is the total package. She is beautiful, she overflows with talent, and she is intelligent, plus she is a humanitarian. Angelina is about to blow the music industry to pieces. Most singers just wish they could sing compared to Angelina, and I have heard many really good singers in many genres. But none of them come close to matching the ability of this artist when she is doing her masterpieces. I am glad you have been introduced to this Rembrandt of the music world.
Her fully name is Angelina Jordan Astar. From Norway 🇳🇴 The girl with the 1000 voices. Ohh yeah she's the boss, the band call her boss. She has a finger in everything. Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
The Barefoot story is Angelina had been traveling in the Middle East with family where Angelina met a poor girl aged 6 years old the same age as Angelina, the girl was weighing people for money,Angelina befriend the girl who had no shoes and scars on her feet, after befriending the poor girl Angelina gave the poor girl her own shoes, So Angelina always performs barefoot to remember all the children who are less fortunate, and Angelina has always performed barefoot even now aged 17 years this January, Angelina has raised millions for environmental causes and children charities, she is so humble and special,Angelina has around 175 covers and 5 originals, she signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old and her Uncle is her manager.
Hi Guys, I'm new but I am always amazed at her talent. Usually singing Jazz comes with age, but she is an exception. Nobody sings jazz at her age. She will only get better, as we have already said. Her voice is totally a human instrument. Thank you so much
Nice first reaction! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings in front of an audience. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
She won Norways Got Talent when she was 7. There is a story about the bare feet, she is always barefooted when she performs. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole, she has been singing since she was 1 1/2
Won Norway's Got Talent at 7 yo, finished 3rd in America's Got Talent Champions at 13, is a best selling author (youngest in Norway's history its said), humanitarian (why she performs barefoot), arranger (she arranges most of her music, even in this video you see her writing notes to the producer), AND now at 17 her voice is bigger, stronger, and fabulous...enjoy the trip.
She just turned 17 in January and stands over 6' tall. She's a beautiful statue. She's fluent in at least 4 languages and English is her 3rd. She started singing at a year and a half
Welcome to Angelinas world. You may find some bad recordings and songs you dont like but you never will find a bad performance from Angelina Jordan Astar.
- The Barefoot Princess - (From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.) Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
If you don't know why she doesn't wear shoes when she performs it is amazing. She was on vacation with her grandfather I think and she saw a child without shoes. She was upset and gave the child her own shoes and said she would not wear shoes when she performed until every child had shoes.
The professional band called her “the boss” because of her professional knowledge and because this is her arrangement ; a tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkin’s original video (a must watch to truly appreciate this arrangement). She has just dropped her first EP album from Republic Records at 17 now. She is going to be a legend in the music industry within her own lifetime. A great story behind the bare feet which you can find on line welcome to AJ’s world yo have well over a hundred more videos to watch of her progression to Angelina’s superstardom journey ❤
This young lady is almost a adult now and her work through the years has been beautiful I am happy to see you found her definitely one of the good ones she is genuinely a great person and Humble definitely watch more you will be captivated like this song she puts a spell on you
Her fans is called "Angels". And they have a huge knowledge about Angelina. They can also be very protective of her as her family is. You will also learn that you will get a lot of views when you react to her. As the angels love to see peoples reaction and become aware of her greatness. Not only is her talant mindblowing but when you learn more about her you will totaly melt. You have well over 160 covers by Angelina and also a few original songs. Angelina is one of the greatest in modern time i shit you not. I wish you welcome into the world of Angelina. Your life won't be the same after this
Loved your reaction, I’m here for the ride you’re going to take down the Angelina rabbit hole! (That’s what her Angel’s call it) Angelina is a prodigy specializing in vocals, she also plays piano, violin, flute, and guitar. Angelina is from Norway and speaks Norwegian, Farsi (grandmother is Iranian), English and Japanese. Angelina this year just turned 17 and had just released her first single Million Miles, a song dedicated to her grandfather, and anyone who has lost a loved one recently. Especially with Covid. It said that child singers cannot be emotional since they haven’t lived a life yet, Angelina is the exception to that rule!! She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that ask her mother to take her to Norway’s Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show. Here’s the song that you should do next, it really started it all. This is what got her into Norway’s got talent. When you see her mom wiping away tears, she said, and I’m paraphrasing, that that’s when she realized that she has lost Angelina to the world!! th-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/w-d-xo.html. Be ready to be blown away!! In an interview after the show, when asked what was she going to do with the prize money. The eight year old replied, “I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes. When Angelina was nine years old she became the youngest published author in Norway. She did this when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn’t wear shoes. She doing any of the proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. The reason you May have not heard of her is because her parents are very protective Of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows(Mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the year’s since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even Disney.
❤this anit nothing your gonna be amazed she'll touch your hearts she our Barefoot Princess loved your reaction and yes your wife is beautiful hugs be safe
Welcome to To the rabbit hole. In all my years (I’m 79). I’ve never heard of anyone with the voice that she has. Many listeners have indicated that she is no now as the girl with 1000 voices because she manages to change your voice for each song. as you explore TH-cam because she has almost 200 separate covers you’ll find that she will definitely keep amazing you. My recommendation before you go to her more frequent renditions listen to her version of “feeling good“ she was only 10 years old and it will blow your mind. Pay particular attention to the ending of this song.
She arranges all her music and the band on all you songs. The bands all call her the Boss and really admire her. She is a really amazing young girl. She just gets better every time. She is now 17 and first LP will very soon be out. Blessings from a 76 year old gran from South Africa
She’s also Norway’s youngest published author. She wrote a book about her an experience she had in the Middle East when she was six years old. In it she explains why she chooses to perform barefoot as a reminder to herself of the less fortunate children in the world without shoes, family, and food. She still performs barefoot to this day on the largest stages in the world.
We're all very protective of the barefoot princess, Congratulations finding her, You're in for a wild ride down this rabbit hole,, There are millions of us that support her should be careful... A j is the real deal..✌️ a true prodigy, She'll be releasing her debut album this summer...
I have listened to this masterpiece by Angelina hundreds of times, mostly to enjoy new reactions, like yours to this very lovely and talented person. She was nine here, and as you know, is seventeen now and soon to be Republic's main star talent. I will frequently come back to these early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, at her youngest, are absolutely stunning, and set the stage for you to lose yourself down this beautiful rabbit hole. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Welcome 🙏🏻 to the Future Queen of Music! Enjoy 11 years of songs, which totals over 170 between her TWO channels. You're right, not the usual 9 year old. Her writing in the beginning was her "wishes" as she called them, Angelina arranges all her songs. She writes and composes and sings. She speaks multiple languages and plays multiple instruments and has heart of 💛 . She is 17 now, and we all are awaiting her single next month from her debut album as she is about to ignite the world as she steps into the public light a moment she prepared for for a looong time.
That was so fun to watch. You've heard the big singers from the last century, and Angelina carries all of them with her. She's been listening to music since she was born, and in particular jazz. She's one of those humans that can absorb a song and pass it on, with her own taste and flavor, to us. What is really crazy is that she has a voice and a wonderful heart to match her unique understanding of music. We're so lucky to be here for it :) And yes, now at 17 years of age she has grown musically and physically into a superstar. Instant subscriber - More AJ reactions please :)
I must tell you that what you said is NOT an exaggeration! Many times, and I mean MANY, I have questioned my inexplicable and unexplainable reaction to this amazing young lady only to conclude that she is EVERYTHING that I believe she is and more!!
I have never had an artist impact me the way that Angelina does. I am thankful to be retired and can start out each day by listening to one or more of her songs. For over three years I have listened to each and every day. She has had such a positive impact on my life.
So much about her is remarkable. Try to read all the comments. You guys do a great and will be inundated with comments, information and subscribers. Just a truly amazing story! Her singing talent is only part of it. I’m going to enjoy experiencing your journey with you!
You should see her rendition of Bohemian Rapsody on agt after which I believe Queen gave here free reign to sing it with no Royalties and such as she was so good. she is a wonderful journey.

*I'm an Angelina Angel, and really enjoyed your genuine reaction. Think of it this way, we use to, and some still do, buy records so we can listen to them over and over again. The same goes for watching reactions, we're listening to a song over and over, but it's different each time and more enjoyable. It's like sharing a song you like with someone and wanting to hear what they think of it. Well, I don't have to tell you to strap yourself in because I'm sure you already figured that out. You will be hit with thousands of loyal Angelina (Angels) followers, who like me enjoy listening to her music over and over again.*
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss
This is the best rabbit hole you will ever go down, i love this girl. Her parents have held her back till she graduated high school and that is this year. She is signed by Republic Records and they have not pushed her to soon. Her album comes out this fall, and we can't wait.She can sing anything.She can turn anything into a jazz song. Have fun!!!!!!!!!
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.
Angelina always performs in bare feet. When she was travelling in the mid east with her grandmother Mery Zemani she came across a young girl sitting on the sidewalk with a pair of kitchen scales. The young girl had no shoes and her feet were scarred. Angelina began talking to her and asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but her family could never afford it. The kitchen scales were to weight people of a donation to help her family. The young girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be and Angelina said she wanted to be a superstar. The young girl said she would pray every day for Angelina. as Angelina had taken off her favourite emerald green boots and gave them to the young girl. Remember Angelina was six at this time. When i was sick you could not get a lick from my ice cream let alone my shoes lol. Angelina vowed not to wear shoes when performing until all the children in the world could have shoes. Angelina also raises millions for childrens charities and also feed homeless people in los angelos. She is one very special human being and is truly a gift to humanity.
Next, her Bohemian Rhapsody from AGT Champions 2020, when she was 13. Phenomenal ❣️ When she was 6 yo she promised to perform barefoot until all the children in the world have shoes. She keeps true to that till today. Look for the full story of this - it's inspiring!
Angelina Jordan was born in Norway, a child musical prodigy who was introduced to Jazz by her grandmother's love of Jazz music went Angelina was a baby still in her crib. Please view the 2014 "Norway Got Talent" show went Angelina was seven yrs old. She performed "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday," plus three other songs. She ended with George Gershwin's "Summertime, winning the contest and the hearts of millions viewed worldwide. One other bio on Angelina Jordan went she was 6 yrs old, her Grandmother arranged Angelina's first visit to a Recording Studio where she recorded "I Who Have Nothing." Enjoy the Angelina Jordan musical journey with her fans she calls "Her Angels!"
Musicians call her the Boss. Her artist grandmother Mery introduced her to jazz when she was a toddler. Mind-blowing natural gift combined with the right support, influences, and family.
She is a child prodigy. She has soul. She has sung professionally since she was one and a half. Check out Bohemian Raspsody from when she was 13 yrs. She is an amazing blessing.
She won Norway's got talent at 8. She received 46% of the vote and she was competing against ten other acts. She first started recording when she was 6 years old...
Great reaction , this little girl has covered 5 decades of iconic songs of artist that have weather the test of time. I am 70 years old and have never seen anyone with her abilities. Buckle up for this ride.
You have just scratched the surface, AJ has around 150 performances from 7 to 17 years of age, and they are phenomenal. Shamans 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, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.
And that........ is how this song was meant to be sung! I enjoyed your reaction very much, I've watched it twice already. Mark this day on your calendar as the day you discovered Angelina, I believe it will have a significant impact on the rest of your lives. She is that special, I've never listened to any singer who can touch my heart and soul like she can. From any age! This is my favorite video to watch reactions of, and your facial expressions said it all! I am looking forward to following your journey of discovery with this very very special human being! See you soon!
Angelina Jordan Is all the biggest artists in one body
She is a timing machine. She is out of this world.
She plays piano/keyboard, guitar, violin and flute, has written several song, and was the youngest person in Norway to publish a book at age 9.
Angelina Jordan Bohemian Rhapsody AGT
I love watching people's faces when they first hear Angelina Jordan! priceless!
Think about this performance in light of Norwegian as her first language, English as her second language, and Farsi as her third...at the age of 9. Angelina is incredible.
Holy cow! She is talented!
There were 4 vignettes that relate directly to her life. The bare feet she will always perform bare footed because of a street girl who had scales and was guessing peoples weight to earn money long story somebody will write better, she promised as a remembarence of this girl to always perform that way. It also serves as a reminder to to the rest of us that there are many people who have no shoes or even have the choice to wear their shoes or not. She even wrote a children's book, around this time of this video, that was illustrated by her grandma Mery Zamani who was a child prodigy in painting and poetry growing up in Iran. The second scene she is making changes to the score at the last minute. Angelina not only picks the songs she will sing, but she also arranges them how she wants them to be played. While singing is her main gift she has become a first class arranger. She started learning composition and theory at around 5-6 years old. And she is definitely in charge, the musicians who played with her gave her the nickname 'The Boss' at around 6. Angelina is not just a great singer she is a musician. She hears a song, likes it, sings it for awhile and the ideas start to come. When she decides how she wants the song to go that is it and she will not be deterred in her singing it her way.
The third scene is of her partner in crime, grandma Mery who started introducing Angelina to Jazz and eventually Billie Holiday. Who was a major influence to desire to sing. (Oh, an add-on to the shoe story, that I feel is interesting. The shoes that Angelina gave the girl were her !!!favorite!!! pair of boots. I do not know what favorite means, or meant to you when 6 years old. But I can tell you if they were my favorite anything, she would still be bare foot. When I was 5-6 years old the things that meant everything to me were the clothes I wore, usually the same thing 3-4 days in a row with Mom stealing them at night to wash them. For which I still nurture a grudge though she has been gone almost 20 years.)
The final scene was her candle with the picture of the original artist and writer of this song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins. A muscical genius whose music struck a cord with Angelina and here it is.
She has done this little vignette thing a couple of times they're not just cutesy things, they tell an important part of her life to that point. So until the next time.
Thanks for the info! She really is something special.
Buckle up... You are in for a shock and a treat. Empress of Jazz gonna steal your heart and demand respect. I really feel she is the best vocalist on ANY stage today. She knows her craft and understands how music gets inside you and she CAN make you laugh, cry, smile, ... Just name the emotion.
The best singer on the planet. Everything she does is awesome.
Join the AJ rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed. The girl is amazing.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina…she’s simply the best…❤
Strap yourselves in.. maybe the best voice in generations. You’re about to go down a rabbit hole you had no idea existed.
My reaction to this was identical to yours. I now have listened to over 100 of Angelina's videos and I can't get enough. She is totally amazing. God bless her for bringing joy to the world in this trying time.
WHen she (age 7) was on Norway's got talent, one of the judges remarked: she must have been drinking whiskey since she was 2 years old. Same reaction you had.
She began singing at 1-1/2...she was raised on Jazz by her grandmother...playing for her all the standards...Ella, Diana, Gershwin, Billie Holiday, Louis, etc. You should check her national debut on Norway's Got Talent, with English subtitles. She is Norwegian...but speaks several languages. Japanese, English, I'd imagine French or Italian. She plays several instruments and writes all her arrangements including this one. It's her Homage to the original artist Screaming Jay Hawkins. You saw his picture she held up on that candle. She sings barefoot every time she sings as a protest to shoeless children. And that's a whole study in itself. She gave her shoes to a shoeless girl she memet in the Mid East and has raised over $10 Million so far. Check her live guitar only seasons. If you want to hear some very impressive recordings besides her debut find her recording at 10 yrs of, I'm still Holding Out for You. And her singing her version of Summer Time with full Orchestra in Kork, Norway. It's different in subtle ways than her tribute to Ella and Billie from Norway's Got Talent. Oh, that was when she was 7 and won it at 8 yrs old.
You got it, the band refers to her as The Little Boss. She is absolu8tely the best, stunning.
I just don’t know where you’ve been.I find it really hard to believe you’ve never heard of her . I’m 70 years old and I’ve loved lots of female singers. but not one of them has the talent Angelina has. She’s truly a miracle sent down from heaven for all of us to enjoy. She never wears shoes when she’s performing because when she was on holiday in Asia with her family she saw a little girl the same age as she was . She noticed she wasn’t wearing shoes and had scares all over her feet. Long story short she took off her new shoes and gave them to the little girl. She vowed then she would not perform with shoes on until every child in the world had shoes. She’s 17 now over 6ft and very Beautiful.The little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day . Angelina has always reminded this and she’s still true to word . She’s raised millions for children’s charities. She’s very humble and has a heart of gold. Her grandma Mery brought her up on jazz . Angelina can sing anything. Welcome to the world of Angelina. Great Reaction love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶🦶👍👍
Love you Denise! Thanks for the view and comment. Apparently I have been under a rock, as I have not heard of her before. I am so glad I now know her.
Over 11M views on TH-cam. She was recording this at 8 years old and it was published when she was 9 years, 2 months.
Jalacy “Screamin’ Jay” Hawkins is on the Candle. Angelina arranged this at 8 and recorded this at 9. She hands over additional notes, which is then passed on to conductor. He smiles and nods. She has included All the nuances of the original, and of no other artist. How, at 9yrs 2mos, she can get as low as F3, is preposterous! This was first written/composed, then recorded, in 1955. His 1956 recording was selected as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.” This is the recording which Angelina covered!
I saw him perform this Live, on American Bandstand. The Link is as follows: 🌸🌺 m.th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html

Yes. She’s 17 now and has signed with Republic Records. She will be putting out a new album this year. She was 8 years old when she won Norway’s Got Talent. At the age of six, she did four studio recordings, my favorite one was “I, who have nothing “. She also wrote a book titled “Between Two Hearts” in which she explains why she performs barefoot. The book is illustrated her grandmother. Besides her singing, she is the youngest published author in Norway.
Sorry guys, this is the best I Put A Spell On You cover I've ever heard.
Our barefoot princess❤️She is amazing😍
Mark it on your calendar--the day you made this video is your "Angel Birthday" and now you are counting your Angelina years of your years on Planet Angelina!!!
She made her video debut at one and one-half singing Whitney Houston's
"I Have Nothing." It is an interchanging of her singing, a recharging drink from her baby bottle, a little more Whitney, and into our world rolls one of life's unexplainable delights.
My "Angelina age" is about from two months before her "America's Got Talent"
debut at one- and one-half years of age. In it she is interchanging bits of Whitney's
"I Have Nothing" with drinks from her clutched baby bottle.
Grab hold and enjoy your travels 😮on the "Angelina Magic Carpet ride through space toward Planet Angelina!!!
There is a whole world of Angelina to discover. This little girl from Norway is no normal little girl. She is THE voice of our generation.
she is a teen now, 17 and she is so beautiful, you have to hear her stuff... she is a special kinda kid, so talented.
One more comment. You mentioned the bare feet. Once you read the story on why she performs bare feet, you’ll absolutely fall in love with her. This planet is extremely lucky to have a beautiful human like her.
She's a reincarnation of ALL the great singers ( especially jazz singers ) that had ever came before..She also seems to have that 'old soul' about her...Great reaction my friends. Cheers
I think that is one of the best pieces of music ever recorded. Angelina’s voice is sensational! I mean, who else sings like that? She is my favorite singers of all time. Anyways, for the record, she’s just as incredible now. Just a little older. She is even more beautiful… still has an unbelievably stunning voice. Still has a huge following of amazing fans that all love the heck out of her. Check out her version of “Fly Me To The Moon,” when you get a chance. The that she sung in a yellow dress while rehearsing with an orchestra. That’s one of my all-time favorites, (as if it’s possible to have one). Just turn up the volume, and listen to her voice. It’s as close to perfection as I’ve ever heard; and yet, she made it seam so effortless. Let me know what you think. I do always wonder if other folks like that one as much as I do. ☮️
Her first album is cut. It should drop this summer with a Concert tour to launch it. I pray she does not let them burn her out or change her. She is Absolutely Perfect as she is.
First album It's Magic was released in 2018.
Seeing her sing barefoot is the strongest statement in favor of those most in need and without saying a word...¡¡¡¡¡
just realize when you listen to any of her songs that she sings, the arrangement is ALWAYS done by Angelina.
Strap yourselves in, guys. You are in for the ride of your life. She has flown under the radar of most folks until now on purpose. Her family decided early on that she would have as normal a childhood as possible, so they purportedly refused offers from some heavyweights in the industry. You're going to find out that there are LOTS of videos of her performing in summer concerts and at charity events as well as even more of her simply singing into a camera at home. Anyway, she is 17 now and graduating this year. She signed with Republic Records when she was 14, and it has been reported that one of the conditions was that they NOT promote her until she finished school. Well, we are on the doorstep of that event now. She is not only an incredible musical prodigy but a golden soul as well. Get to know her and I have a feeling you'll be joining the community of her supporters that she calls her Angels...I'm looking forward to accompanying you on your adventure!
Thank you friend for informing new reactors about our AJ.
Bless you.
Elmar from Germany.
And we cannot wait
Excellent synopsis of this incredible young talent Dharmabum! Well said. Of course, there’s SO much to know about Angelina the person… the beautiful human being that she is.
Let the journey begin… 😉
❤️❤️❤️👣
Welcome to the amazing and wonderful world of Angelina Jordan 🙂
Accurately stated. AJ is a prodigy. A genuine phenom. Any singers you’ve known in the past whom many thought were prodigies, but simply impressed because they were young, eg; Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Brenda Lee or Michael Jackson etc, none come close to this level. Not at 7-9 yrs of age. None of them.
But this young girl has reset the bar at a level so high… I just don’t see any other person at that age past or present come close. The blonde girl, Evancho or however her name his spelled , she is an operatic singer and very good. But not like this. And the crazy thing is, how AJ takes great songs from great singers like Billie, Nora, Adele and even Whitney, and makes their songs sound fresh and original and unique.
Anyway, you detailed everything so much better than I ever could.
I just think she’s the best ever and I’m 70 years old. I shouldn’t feel this way … and that’s the spell AJ has put on all of us.
This angel is the total package. She is beautiful, she overflows with talent, and she is intelligent, plus she is a humanitarian. Angelina is about to blow the music industry to pieces. Most singers just wish they could sing compared to Angelina, and I have heard many really good singers in many genres. But none of them come close to matching the ability of this artist when she is doing her masterpieces. I am glad you have been introduced to this Rembrandt of the music world.
Her fully name is Angelina Jordan Astar. From Norway 🇳🇴 The girl with the 1000 voices. Ohh yeah she's the boss, the band call her boss. She has a finger in everything. Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Much love Norway! Thanks for the view and comment.
The Barefoot story is Angelina had been traveling in the Middle East with family where Angelina met a poor girl aged 6 years old the same age as Angelina, the girl was weighing people for money,Angelina befriend the girl who had no shoes and scars on her feet, after befriending the poor girl Angelina gave the poor girl her own shoes, So Angelina always performs barefoot to remember all the children who are less fortunate, and Angelina has always performed barefoot even now aged 17 years this January, Angelina has raised millions for environmental causes and children charities, she is so humble and special,Angelina has around 175 covers and 5 originals, she signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old and her Uncle is her manager.
She's so good.....she knocked off her own socks. She walks into the recording studio, "Now boys, this is how we're going to do this."
Hi Guys, I'm new but I am always amazed at her talent. Usually singing Jazz comes with age, but she is an exception. Nobody sings jazz at her age. She will only get better, as we have already said. Her voice is totally a human instrument. Thank you so much
Thanks for coming on this journey with us!
Nice first reaction! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out this year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings in front of an audience. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Such a nice young lady! Thanks for the info.
She won Norways Got Talent when she was 7. There is a story about the bare feet, she is always barefooted when she performs. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole, she has been singing since she was 1 1/2
Won Norway's Got Talent at 7 yo, finished 3rd in America's Got Talent Champions at 13, is a best selling author (youngest in Norway's history its said), humanitarian (why she performs barefoot), arranger (she arranges most of her music, even in this video you see her writing notes to the producer), AND now at 17 her voice is bigger, stronger, and fabulous...enjoy the trip.
She just turned 17 in January and stands over 6' tall. She's a beautiful statue. She's fluent in at least 4 languages and English is her 3rd. She started singing at a year and a half

You are entering the world of Angelina Jordan !

Actually the best female singer on our planet ! !
- The Barefoot Princess -
(From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.)
Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them.
Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.”
From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.
If you don't know why she doesn't wear shoes when she performs it is amazing. She was on vacation with her grandfather I think and she saw a child without shoes. She was upset and gave the child her own shoes and said she would not wear shoes when she performed until every child had shoes.
She’s a tiny musical giant here..she’s now a 6ft musical giant.
This is not her lowest range. Watch how great thou art for that.
She could dredge gravel out of a ship channel with her low range.
The professional band called her “the boss” because of her professional knowledge and because this is her arrangement ; a tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkin’s original video (a must watch to truly appreciate this arrangement).
She has just dropped her first EP album from Republic Records at 17 now. She is going to be a legend in the music industry within her own lifetime. A great story behind the bare feet which you can find on line welcome to AJ’s world yo have well over a hundred more videos to watch of her progression to Angelina’s superstardom journey ❤
This young lady is almost a adult now and her work through the years has been beautiful I am happy to see you found her definitely one of the good ones she is genuinely a great person and Humble definitely watch more you will be captivated like this song she puts a spell on you
❤🇨🇱 this a super star on the making that's about to go super nova you can't go wrong with anything she sings welcome to this journey
Her fans is called "Angels". And they have a huge knowledge about Angelina. They can also be very protective of her as her family is. You will also learn that you will get a lot of views when you react to her. As the angels love to see peoples reaction and become aware of her greatness. Not only is her talant mindblowing but when you learn more about her you will totaly melt.
You have well over 160 covers by Angelina and also a few original songs. Angelina is one of the greatest in modern time i shit you not. I wish you welcome into the world of Angelina. Your life won't be the same after this
Welcome to club "Angels"! I am so happy to see more and more folks getting to know AJ...she will be a household name soon!
This little girl has been here before!!!! Incredible!!
Loved your reaction, I’m here for the ride you’re going to take down the Angelina rabbit hole! (That’s what her Angel’s call it)
Angelina is a prodigy specializing in vocals, she also plays piano, violin, flute, and guitar. Angelina is from Norway and speaks Norwegian, Farsi (grandmother is Iranian), English and Japanese. Angelina this year just turned 17 and had just released her first single Million Miles, a song dedicated to her grandfather, and anyone who has lost a loved one recently. Especially with Covid. It said that child singers cannot be emotional since they haven’t lived a life yet, Angelina is the exception to that rule!!
She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that ask her mother to take her to Norway’s Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show. Here’s the song that you should do next, it really started it all. This is what got her into Norway’s got talent. When you see her mom wiping away tears, she said, and I’m paraphrasing, that that’s when she realized that she has lost Angelina to the world!! th-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/w-d-xo.html. Be ready to be blown away!! In an interview after the show, when asked what was she going to do with the prize money. The eight year old replied, “I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes.
When Angelina was nine years old she became the youngest published author in Norway. She did this when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn’t wear shoes. She doing any of the proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
The reason you May have not heard of her is because her parents are very protective Of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows(Mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the year’s since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even Disney.
In for a ride🌺🌸🌹❤️🇳🇴🇩🇰
Angelina is exceptionelt 🔥🔥
❤this anit nothing your gonna be amazed she'll touch your hearts she our Barefoot Princess loved your reaction and yes your wife is beautiful hugs be safe
Welcome to To the rabbit hole. In all my years (I’m 79). I’ve never heard of anyone with the voice that she has. Many listeners have indicated that she is no now as the girl with 1000 voices because she manages to change your voice for each song. as you explore TH-cam because she has almost 200 separate covers you’ll find that she will definitely keep amazing you. My recommendation before you go to her more frequent renditions listen to her version of “feeling good“ she was only 10 years old and it will blow your mind. Pay particular attention to the ending of this song.
Prodigy , once in a generation someone comes along lwith talent like this ....
She arranges all her music and the band on all you songs. The bands all call her the Boss and really admire her. She is a really amazing young girl. She just gets better every time. She is now 17 and first LP will very soon be out.
Blessings from a 76 year old gran from South Africa
Blessings back, thanks for the view and comment. We really appreciate it!
She’s also Norway’s youngest published author. She wrote a book about her an experience she had in the Middle East when she was six years old. In it she explains why she chooses to perform barefoot as a reminder to herself of the less fortunate children in the world without shoes, family, and food. She still performs barefoot to this day on the largest stages in the world.
We're all very protective of the barefoot princess, Congratulations finding her, You're in for a wild ride down this rabbit hole,, There are millions of us that support her should be careful... A j is the real deal..✌️ a true prodigy, She'll be releasing her debut album this summer...
I have listened to this masterpiece by Angelina hundreds of times, mostly to enjoy new reactions, like yours to this very lovely and talented person. She was nine here, and as you know, is seventeen now and soon to be Republic's main star talent. I will frequently come back to these early beginning performances of Angelina, age six thru nine, for the pleasure of falling in love with her all over again. Here is a list from Rusty Shackleford's channel that covers, chronologically, years 6 thru 17. The first six, at her youngest, are absolutely stunning, and set the stage for you to lose yourself down this beautiful rabbit hole.

Thank you for that info. We will check it out! Have a great day!
She made the arrangements for this song by the way at age 8-9
Welcome 🙏🏻 to the Future Queen of Music! Enjoy 11 years of songs, which totals over 170 between her TWO channels. You're right, not the usual 9 year old. Her writing in the beginning was her "wishes" as she called them, Angelina arranges all her songs. She writes and composes and sings. She speaks multiple languages and plays multiple instruments and has heart of 💛 . She is 17 now, and we all are awaiting her single next month from her debut album as she is about to ignite the world as she steps into the public light a moment she prepared for for a looong time.
That was so fun to watch. You've heard the big singers from the last century, and Angelina carries all of them with her. She's been listening to music since she was born, and in particular jazz. She's one of those humans that can absorb a song and pass it on, with her own taste and flavor, to us. What is really crazy is that she has a voice and a wonderful heart to match her unique understanding of music. We're so lucky to be here for it :)
And yes, now at 17 years of age she has grown musically and physically into a superstar.
Instant subscriber - More AJ reactions please :)
Thank you so much for your view, comment and SUB! We will definitely be doing more AJ soon!
That's right she is a 9 on this one.
I am completely addicted to her music.
She is the best thing that happened to me in my 54 years on this planet.
I must tell you that what you said is NOT an exaggeration! Many times, and I mean MANY, I have questioned my inexplicable and unexplainable reaction to this amazing young lady only to conclude that she is EVERYTHING that I believe she is and more!!
Addicted is right. Like many others have said, I have been compelled to listen to Angelina daily (at length) since the first day I heard her sing.
I have never had an artist impact me the way that Angelina does. I am thankful to be retired and can start out each day by listening to one or more of her songs. For over three years I have listened to each and every day. She has had such a positive impact on my life.
Listening to Angelina is a great way to return to sanity after experiencing some of the craziness in our world today.
So much about her is remarkable. Try to read all the comments. You guys do a great and will be inundated with comments, information and subscribers. Just a truly amazing story! Her singing talent is only part of it. I’m going to enjoy experiencing your journey with you!
Well said! Thank you so much for your support!
You should see her rendition of Bohemian Rapsody on agt after which I believe Queen gave here free reign to sing it with no Royalties and such as she was so good. she is a wonderful journey.
Angelina e'il top il nostro Angelo è la più grande vocalist di questo tempo.❤

Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole. She is phenomenal and just gets better and better the more you listen. She is Heaven sent.
Here her sing I’m still holding out for you Angelina Jordan she 10 years old
*I'm an Angelina Angel, and really enjoyed your genuine reaction. Think of it this way, we use to, and some still do, buy records so we can listen to them over and over again. The same goes for watching reactions, we're listening to a song over and over, but it's different each time and more enjoyable. It's like sharing a song you like with someone and wanting to hear what they think of it. Well, I don't have to tell you to strap yourself in because I'm sure you already figured that out. You will be hit with thousands of loyal Angelina (Angels) followers, who like me enjoy listening to her music over and over again.*
Thank you! Appreciate your time!
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss
This is the best rabbit hole you will ever go down, i love this girl. Her parents have held her back till she graduated high school and that is this year. She is signed by Republic Records and they have not pushed her to soon. Her album comes out this fall, and we can't wait.She can sing anything.She can turn anything into a jazz song. Have fun!!!!!!!!!
I have been following her for over 6 years our barefoot princess our angel 😇
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.
Angelina always performs in bare feet. When she was travelling in the mid east with her grandmother Mery Zemani she came across a young girl sitting on the sidewalk with a pair of kitchen scales. The young girl had no shoes and her feet were scarred. Angelina began talking to her and asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but her family could never afford it. The kitchen scales were to weight people of a donation to help her family. The young girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be and Angelina said she wanted to be a superstar. The young girl said she would pray every day for Angelina. as Angelina had taken off her favourite emerald green boots and gave them to the young girl. Remember Angelina was six at this time. When i was sick you could not get a lick from my ice cream let alone my shoes lol. Angelina vowed not to wear shoes when performing until all the children in the world could have shoes. Angelina also raises millions for childrens charities and also feed homeless people in los angelos. She is one very special human being and is truly a gift to humanity.
She is a saint! Thanks for the info!
Next, her Bohemian Rhapsody from AGT Champions 2020, when she was 13. Phenomenal ❣️
When she was 6 yo she promised to perform barefoot until all the children in the world have shoes. She keeps true to that till today. Look for the full story of this - it's inspiring!
Here is a link to BR on AGT-C: th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
Angelina Jordan was born in Norway, a child musical prodigy who was introduced to Jazz by her grandmother's love of Jazz music went Angelina was a baby still in her crib. Please view the 2014 "Norway Got Talent" show went Angelina was seven yrs old. She performed "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday," plus three other songs. She ended with George Gershwin's "Summertime, winning the contest and the hearts of millions viewed worldwide. One other bio on Angelina Jordan went she was 6 yrs old, her Grandmother arranged Angelina's first visit to a Recording Studio where she recorded "I Who Have Nothing." Enjoy the Angelina Jordan musical journey with her fans she calls "Her Angels!"
As far as I am concerned, you have just discovered the very best vocalist .......... in the history of the planet!! And I say that quit seriously.
Musicians call her the Boss. Her artist grandmother Mery introduced her to jazz when she was a toddler. Mind-blowing natural gift combined with the right support, influences, and family.
Welcome to the AJ show....this young woman is phenomenal. She is 17 now and her voice is unbelievable. ❤
She is a child prodigy. She has soul. She has sung professionally since she was one and a half. Check out Bohemian Raspsody from when she was 13 yrs. She is an amazing blessing.
She won Norway's got talent at 8. She received 46% of the vote and she was competing against ten other acts. She first started recording when she was 6 years old...
Angelina's Angels welcome you to the entrance of an very deep rabbit hole of great music
Great reaction , this little girl has covered 5 decades of iconic songs of artist that have weather the test of time. I am 70 years old and have never seen anyone with her abilities. Buckle up for this ride.
You have just scratched the surface, AJ has around 150 performances from 7 to 17 years of age, and they are phenomenal.
Shamans
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, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.
Can't wait to do more AJ! Thanks for the view and comment.
She won Norway's got talent at 7 years old. She dazzled everyone at aged 13 with a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody and she recently covered Elvis.
paul Won NGT at age 8.
Here her sing feeling good Angelina Jordan
Remarkable young female . I have watched this video at least 200 times and am always taken aback .
Angelina is 17 today & has over 140 covers & is signed with Republic Records. She’s studied jazz since the age of 1 1/2🌀
The band refers to her as the Boss, as she is always in in charge of how she wants a song .
And that........ is how this song was meant to be sung! I enjoyed your reaction very much, I've watched it twice already. Mark this day on your calendar as the day you discovered Angelina, I believe it will have a significant impact on the rest of your lives. She is that special, I've never listened to any singer who can touch my heart and soul like she can. From any age! This is my favorite video to watch reactions of, and your facial expressions said it all! I am looking forward to following your journey of discovery with this very very special human being! See you soon!
Angelina stood up from the cradle as a musical genius. She's the genius I've been waiting for 50 years.
Me too. She is oir Mozart.
