The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend, now living in LA. (curent 18 Years old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe! All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody! (Translated by Google) Today (18 years old) Angelina Jordan is no longer a talent, but a world-class singer!
I read with tears in my eyes as I read about her humanitarian intentions for the needy children. Now that's what talent is meant to do. And she's a Queen in that and for that. I'm so blessed to have you write this, now I'm fully into her gift and the blessing she is for the world. A huge Yeeeeeees to the last sentence you made.
Yes, the Power is almost overwhelming here, but she can also touch you with the delicacy of a butterfly, or the smooth flow of pure spring water. If You decide to listen to more of her catalog (beginning with her recordings as a child of 7!), you will have an amazing journey! As you noted, she has a gift of being able to allow her listeners to experience the emotional truth of each song with a consistency which no other singer can match!
Following Angelina (currently 18 years old) for 10 years by now, and I for sure could not put it into words any better than you in your comments to her. You impresses me my friend 😉👍 and I can only push to like and describe to your channel - and ask you to go further into this world of beautiful music and great experiences from our barefoot angel. 👣Angelina Jordan Astar is doing magic with music, as she puts her talent ( - meaning her voice, her technical skills, her total understanding of music and singing, and her emotional abilities -) into performance, she can`t help it to always create stunning moments in time, and in peoples heart and mind. At least thats what I have got from all of these years listening to her, even since she was 7 years old. You have a rich and surely a wide catalog to dive into, to get into knowledge of bits and peaces of what this artist IS, and has become in the world of music 👣 Highly recomanded to do some more 🤗
Great reaction my friend , yes you feel her she is a heart to heart experience, she has hints of all the greatest singers from the last 100 years all blended and Angelinarised and elevated into the incomparable AJ ,taught herself to sing from 2 to 3 yrs old listening to the jazz greats on You tube she is known as the girl with a thousand voices , across multiple genres . they say if you want to hear a song listen to anyone but if you want to truly feel a song listen to AJ she is a musical savant and pioneer blazing her own path she is the new renaissance our goddess of music. 💜💜💜👣😇💜💜💜
Thank you so much... I'm so blessed to have you be here and really explain in details to me. It means so much to me. I'm officially now an Angel.. Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha... Now I know y'all have been watching. Enjoying such a beauty all along and I'm just getting to know her... How did I not know all these while?
Angelina has told us, she has written more than 100 songs and we have heard 14 so far. All of her 'covers' are awesome as well and she has over 200. Here is the list of her original songs. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Really great reaction, she's really amazing, she just touches your heart and soul everytime she sings. What an artist, hard to listen to anyone else, for me anyways. Look forward to more reactions 👍👍👍
Hi T.N., Angelina started singing at the age of one and a half. She sang along to the radio her mother had on the kitchen counter and sang whitney Houston song, I will always love you. She always had a big voice for her age, It's a God given talent, That can't be taught. She's the G.O.A.T IMO. God Bless TN, great reaction Buddy.
If I Was A Boy written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally sang by Jean later Covered by Beyoncé,Grammy Award winner Toby Gad a musical producer, chose Angelina to reinvent his song, he mentioned that Angelina has the emotional connection he is looking for,Toby has worked with many other famous artists, he is a phenomenal musician and songwriter, Angelina and Toby are working on new material together which is exciting for us Angels, In this performance Toby Gad is accompanying on the piano, great reaction thanks 🙏
O would love to hear you react to Angelina singing Wicked Game at the age of 12 . You will really appreciate her gift of voice in any song she covers or in her own songs . Thankyou so much for your wonderful reaction and for explaining what you know of music. Lived it ❤️
Wow. What an incredible first time reaction to Angelina Jordan Astar, IMO the best female singer on the planet. I loved every bit of what you said here, I really feel that you "GOT" her right from the get go. Respect. This was my very first time seeing you and your channel, and it is one of my easiest subscriptions in a long time. I have been following Angelina since she was 7, when she auditioned for "Norway's Got Talent", which she eventually won. She had just turned 8 by that time. Continue down her rabbit hole, and be absolutely blown away time and time again. You have NEVER heard anyone like her, I promise. I have a feeling that I will be seeing you again soon; here's to hoping 🙂 If I may give you a suggestion, I'd go for her black and white studio recording of "Easy On Me" by Adele. She was 15 at the time, and being accompanied on piano only by the artistic director of her record label, Republic Records. His name is Rob Christie, and he is a 2 time Grammy winner himself. Angelina signed with RR at age 14, and Rob took on some kind of mentor role toward her right from the start. The reason why I suggest THAT song is because I think it showcases a lot of her vocal capabilities, and it is a very well know song. Angelina has covered a total of 13 of Adele's songs, and IMO she sounds better than Adele in every single one of them. I am really hoping that you and I will think the same down the line. Until then, take care and stay safe. Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hahahahahahaha... I'm so blessed and excited to have you be here and you said it's your easiest subscriptions in a long time. Now the shocking part is that I had a few reactions I've planned out already and recorded, which I will upload first. But guess the next reaction I'm jumping on? It's the same song you suggested... Go easy on me.. it's already pinned on my to-do list and coincidentally you suggested it. Lol... Now that means sir, we have a lot of mystic connection 😆😆😆... Thank you so much for being here. I sincerely appreciate it. Regards to you and yours and Thanks to Norwegians for blessing the world with this Princess.
Good to see you here, my friend. As always. As to Rob Christie, I suspect the Porsche Speedster is his in "Love don´t let me go". I am almost sure the guitar he has is the real deal. He held it so proudly in Las Vegas.
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 12 songs from age 7 to 18 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2023): th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html 1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral. 2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on TH-cam, and many more on Facebook. 3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here. 4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier. 5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording. 6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family. 7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!" 8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records. 9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did. 10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was. 11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her recently released EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs. 12. Bad Valentine, her latest, yet unreleased original as a live preview in a small venue. If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough": th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html She cites Billie Holiday as her biggest influence. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, and Sam Smith.
The song was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and sung by BC Jean. Beyoncé later covered it and the song became world famous. Angelina Jordan now upgraded it.
Welcome to Angelina's world - a superior quality of artistry since she was 6. Her Angels will help you navigate the history of this superstar & you will be nothing less than impressed by every song AJ has sung. This cover is glorious, it lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking AJ to sing this reinvented cover of his & BC Jean's song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her. After 16 years of practice Angelina is all grown up and has now arrived. Please subscribe to AJ's channel - she deserves it. And don't forget Toby Gad as well.
Damn bruh.... Where you been ? Her first performance on TH-cam is when she was 6 years old. She's got like 200 songs on here. She's the best on the planet. I subscribed to hear more Angelina. So lets go my man ! 👍🏻
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! This history-making performance is as unnerving as it is magnificent!! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! She is almost unnerving in her consistent excellence. If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. She is presently 18yo btw!
Hahahahahahaha. Wow... Thank you so much sir, for taking out your time to bring me into the world of AJ. I am so blessed to have you here. Let's Journey on this.
Great reaction buddy my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 👍👌😊! When Angelina opens her mouth 😲 and sings 👩😲🎙! Then Angelina immediately connects her orphan 💯 year old soul 💫✨️💫 with our souls 💫✨️💫 and hearts ❤️🔥! With all the people who still have a soul ✨️ and a heart ❤️ 😊! Angelina our Angel 😇 has grown so tall 😀 "Wow" ! She is now 6 ft. 2 tall! Like a Greek goddess 👸 in a white dress, Angelina looked in Los Angelina at her Life Concert on September 20th 7pm - 9.30pm in Glendal Alex Theater 🎭 near Los Angeles California! Amazing woman 😊 !Love 💖 and peace ☮️✌️ and kindness 😀 from little beauty Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 👋🙋♂️! Spread Love 💖 ❤️❤️🔥 all day! Roger aka Röschu outside 😊!
Sir, this is not a joke, she started singing at 1,5 years of age, discovered Jatt and Blues at age 2 and decided at around age 3 to practice daily. She went to the academy of Oslo when 4. In the international music industry she is highly respected. Sir, be safe. Elmar from Germany
@@TNUELZ Sir, I will be honored too, to go alongside with you. You have here really and truely formidable angels here with you. My friend Poolhallshark is one of them as is Keithserafy. Waldemar is also a good source for information. Ask Poolhallshark about me, you won´t go wrogn with him.
Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official TH-cam Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! th-cam.com/video/_rJ-HlsTsyM/w-d-xo.html Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.
Angelina has transformed so many songs. Like you felt, she has uncovered meaning and depth in songs to change how the listener experiences them and more importantly feels about them. For instance she transformed Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13, she altered forever how I understood Suspicious Minds by Elvis, her version of Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony was breathtaking. I could go on and on. She has been absolutely incredible for over 10 years and is only 18. The only female artist that has ever made me feel songs like Angelina was Linda Ronstadt....and nobody but Angelina has given me consistent goosebumps when I hear them sing. I actually think I am addicted to her.... I can never get enough.
@@TNUELZplease try her rendition of I put a spell on you at the age of 9 y and you know why we are so addicted with this angel ❤️? There's always something magic ✨🪄in the air ?
I'm glad that you have now had the opportunity to enter into the world of the bare foot princess! But, this is only the beginning of the experience that awaits you if you explore the output that Angelina has produced between the ages of 6 and 18. You will be deluged with comments from AJ's extremely enthusiastic fan base who will have suggestions for what to do next and acquaint you with the wonderful history of this amazing young woman. If you so choose you have a plethora of opportunities. You could look at her performances at age 7 and 8 on Norway's got talent. You could explore her jazz concerts at ages 10 and 11 ("Feeling Good", "Lovin' You", "Diamonds are Forever" . . .}. You could watch any of her many beautiful at home videos accompanied only by guitar ("Stay", "Crazy", "How Great Thou Art" . . . }. Then there are her early originals ("What is Life", "Oslo", "Shield", "Seventh Heaven", "Million Miles"} and her covers done at 14 and 15 ("Billie Jean", "Easy on Me", "My Funny Valentine", "All I Ask" . . .). Not to mention her last couple of years with her Norwegian Concerts, appearance at the FIFA awards, and the release of her new EP, "Old Enough". Let's see; I left out her 2021 Christmas Concert, her performances in Seoul and Japan, her leaked recording of "Still Holding Out for You" and . . . . . Last December she performed "Unchained Melody".at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. The performance is stunning! On February 29 she had two concerts in Las Vegas. Many of those songs are available on James Thiel’s channel (www.youtube.com/@summaEngineer). And then there is the early release of her original, "Bad Valentine", done in collaboration with Toby Gad! Yes, Angelina is an amazing talent and a wondrous interpreter of songs. And, in addition to that, her whole story is chronicled in detail from 1.5 years old until today on TH-cam, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook! As a result, many of us, especially the elders among us, have adopted this Norwegian girl as our honorary granddaughter and spend a bit of each day reading about, listening to, and taking pride in her growth as a singer and as a person.
Thank you so much honestly... I'm so happy to have found her. And I can't wait to gradually reel into all that she has. I'm excited about this Journey already. Thank you so much for being here.
I have never encountered a vocalist before whose voice I love so much, who is so extraordinarily captivating and whose music I have become addicted too... an amazing prodigy with a fantastic voice and great musicality...
Angelina Jordan is the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She is incomparable, as you will soon learn. She is the barefoot Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. You will never forget the day you first found her. None of us fans, she calls Angels, ever have! She is the ultimate storyteller in music. No one infuses the emotion of the music as she does. You put her music on, and you will be educated about her here in the comments. She is a gift to us all.
Wow... The barefooted Princess. I trust there is a story behind this. And I can't wait to know it. No one and I repeat no one INFUSES the emotion to the music as she does. You are so right about this. Thank you so much. I can't wait to do more of her

I've been addicted to Angelina's music for over 6 years. I see the "Angels" have landed, so I'll be short. I liked this video & I've subscribed for more reactions to her. It looks like she has set the hook & she's reeling you in, so I'm sure you'll be doing more. Looking forward to seeing them. You know talent when you see it & it just oozes out of her!
Hahahahahahaha... You are right... She has completely reeled me in. I can't wait to be get into all of her works that I can lay hold on.. Thank you so much for being here.

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage. On May 16, 2024, the first fruits of Angelina's cooperation with Tobi Gad were released. This German composer and record producer based in Los Angeles invited Angeline to an intimate concert at the Hotel Cafe JESSE & FRIENDS, the same one where Adel sang and was discovered. Tobi then took Angelina to London, where she performed His song If I Were A Boy at the London Palladium, and they recorded two versions of the song, Live At Saint James Church, and another studio version illustrated with a film from the streets of London. It seems that Tobi has started cooperation with Angelina and there are several joint songs in the pipeline. At the May concert in Los Angeles, one of them was presented: BAD VALENTINE.
Maybe the greatest ever. She brings you into her special world of song where she sings to your soul as all your troubles temporarily disappear. And yes--you will find most of her work as stunning and amazing as this piece. Welcome, and enjoy your journey.
Well, welcome to the AJ Rabbit Hole! 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. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She 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. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024. Currently, she is working with 3 time Grammy winner songwriter/producer Toby Gad creating new original music for her to sing. Gad has co-wrote and produced such big hits like All Of Me by John Legend, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, If I Were A Boy by Beyonce, and Skyscraper by Demi Lovato and a number of others. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Wow. Thank you so much for really taking out time to walk me through her about. I'm so grateful and I'm going to do well to check all of these out. Now I know why she's called the Barefooted Princess. It's such a beauty. I'm most glad to announce that I'm now an ANGEL 😇
From Republic Records bio, Angelina said “Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” See Angelina's book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) for background story of 6-year old Angelina meeting shoeless girl to whom Angelina gave her shoes. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to jazz at early age.

Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year. In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. yes the same co-writer of the song .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the seventh version I have heard. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song.

Check out the original Bad Valentine by Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad in a live performance at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on 5/16/24 the video is on James Thiel’s TH-cam Channel as he got permission to release the video from Toby Gad
I expect more than If I were a Boy in Toby Gad's Piano Diaries - re recording of many of Toby's "hits" th-cam.com/video/5fY04XsVDPU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RMhIsAdlDg9CBdbY - live cafe introduction of BAD VALENTINE in a cafe with Toby Gad/Angelina Jordan Astar.
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend, now living in LA. (curent 18 Years old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe!
All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody!
(Translated by Google)
Today (18 years old) Angelina Jordan is no longer a talent, but a world-class singer!
I read with tears in my eyes as I read about her humanitarian intentions for the needy children. Now that's what talent is meant to do. And she's a Queen in that and for that. I'm so blessed to have you write this, now I'm fully into her gift and the blessing she is for the world. A huge Yeeeeeees to the last sentence you made.
Yes, the Power is almost overwhelming here, but she can also touch you with the delicacy of a butterfly, or the smooth flow of pure spring water. If You decide to listen to more of her catalog (beginning with her recordings as a child of 7!), you will have an amazing journey! As you noted, she has a gift of being able to allow her listeners to experience the emotional truth of each song with a consistency which no other singer can match!
Following Angelina (currently 18 years old) for 10 years by now, and I for sure could not put it into words any better than you in your comments to her.

"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13

Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Really great reaction, she's really amazing, she just touches your heart and soul everytime she sings. What an artist, hard to listen to anyone else, for me anyways. Look forward to more reactions 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Douglas. I'm really excited about this new experience with AJ. And thank you for being here. I can't wait to get more into it
Hi T.N., Angelina started singing at the age of one and a half. She sang along to the radio her mother had on the kitchen counter and sang whitney Houston song, I will always love you. She always had a big voice for her age, It's a God given talent, That can't be taught. She's the G.O.A.T IMO. God Bless TN, great reaction Buddy.

Wow. What an incredible first time reaction to Angelina Jordan Astar, IMO the best female singer on the planet. I loved every bit of what you said here, I really feel that you "GOT" her right from the get go. Respect. This was my very first time seeing you and your channel, and it is one of my easiest subscriptions in a long time. I have been following Angelina since she was 7, when she auditioned for "Norway's Got Talent", which she eventually won. She had just turned 8 by that time. Continue down her rabbit hole, and be absolutely blown away time and time again. You have NEVER heard anyone like her, I promise. I have a feeling that I will be seeing you again soon; here's to hoping 🙂
If I may give you a suggestion, I'd go for her black and white studio recording of "Easy On Me" by Adele. She was 15 at the time, and being accompanied on piano only by the artistic director of her record label, Republic Records. His name is Rob Christie, and he is a 2 time Grammy winner himself. Angelina signed with RR at age 14, and Rob took on some kind of mentor role toward her right from the start. The reason why I suggest THAT song is because I think it showcases a lot of her vocal capabilities, and it is a very well know song. Angelina has covered a total of 13 of Adele's songs, and IMO she sounds better than Adele in every single one of them. I am really hoping that you and I will think the same down the line. Until then, take care and stay safe.
Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hahahahahahaha... I'm so blessed and excited to have you be here and you said it's your easiest subscriptions in a long time. Now the shocking part is that I had a few reactions I've planned out already and recorded, which I will upload first. But guess the next reaction I'm jumping on? It's the same song you suggested... Go easy on me.. it's already pinned on my to-do list and coincidentally you suggested it. Lol... Now that means sir, we have a lot of mystic connection 😆😆😆... Thank you so much for being here. I sincerely appreciate it. Regards to you and yours and Thanks to Norwegians for blessing the world with this Princess.
Good to see you here, my friend. As always. As to Rob Christie, I suspect the Porsche Speedster is his in "Love don´t let me go". I am almost sure the guitar he has is the real deal. He held it so proudly in Las Vegas.

For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 12 songs from age 7 to 18 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2023): th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html
1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral.
2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on TH-cam, and many more on Facebook.
3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here.
4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier.
5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording.
6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family.
7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!"
8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records.
9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did.
10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was.
11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her recently released EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs.
12. Bad Valentine, her latest, yet unreleased original as a live preview in a small venue.
If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough": th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
She cites Billie Holiday as her biggest influence. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, and Sam Smith.
Thank you so much for this
The song was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and sung by BC Jean. Beyoncé later covered it and the song became world famous. Angelina Jordan now upgraded it.
So true....
Oh wow... Thank you so much for that detailed explanation.. She actually did a serious upgrade of it.
The greatest singer on the Planet !
Unarguably yes. I must agree with this. Because how on earth do you hear a voice and your soul is caged in her grip until she's done?
😀😀😀😀😀Greetings from Poland
Thank you so much. I'm super happy to have a Polish Angel here.
Powerful vocals, I felt so excited listening to this ❤
Now you know how I felt reacting to this...Good to have you here 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Welcome to Angelina's world - a superior quality of artistry since she was 6. Her Angels will help you navigate the history of this superstar & you will be nothing less than impressed by every song AJ has sung.
This cover is glorious, it lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking AJ to sing this reinvented cover of his & BC Jean's song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her. After 16 years of practice Angelina is all grown up and has now arrived. Please subscribe to AJ's channel - she deserves it. And don't forget Toby Gad as well.
Damn bruh.... Where you been ? Her first performance on TH-cam is when she was 6 years old. She's got like 200 songs on here. She's the best on the planet. I subscribed to hear more Angelina. So lets go my man ! 👍🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! This history-making performance is as unnerving as it is magnificent!! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! She is almost unnerving in her consistent excellence.
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. She is presently 18yo btw!
Hahahahahahaha. Wow... Thank you so much sir, for taking out your time to bring me into the world of AJ. I am so blessed to have you here. Let's Journey on this.
Her voice is so beautiful ❤ like a combination of Amy Winehouse and Adele ❤
Great reaction buddy my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 👍👌😊! When Angelina opens her mouth 😲 and sings 👩😲🎙! Then Angelina immediately connects her orphan 💯 year old soul 💫✨️💫 with our souls 💫✨️💫 and hearts ❤️🔥! With all the people who still have a soul ✨️ and a heart ❤️ 😊! Angelina our Angel 😇 has grown so tall 😀 "Wow" ! She is now 6 ft. 2 tall! Like a Greek goddess 👸 in a white dress, Angelina looked in Los Angelina at her Life Concert on September 20th 7pm - 9.30pm in Glendal Alex Theater 🎭 near Los Angeles California! Amazing woman 😊 !Love 💖 and peace ☮️✌️ and kindness 😀 from little beauty Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 👋🙋♂️! Spread Love 💖 ❤️❤️🔥 all day! Roger aka Röschu outside 😊!
Sir, this is not a joke, she started singing at 1,5 years of age, discovered Jatt and Blues at age 2 and decided at around age 3 to practice daily. She went to the academy of Oslo when 4. In the international music industry she is highly respected.
Sir, be safe.
Elmar from Germany
Thank you so much Elmar, I'm most honoured to have you here. Thank you for letting me know a little more. I can't wait to be on this Journey with you.
@@TNUELZ Sir, I will be honored too, to go alongside with you. You have here really and truely formidable angels here with you. My friend Poolhallshark is one of them as is Keithserafy. Waldemar is also a good source for information. Ask Poolhallshark about me, you won´t go wrogn with him.
Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official TH-cam Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! th-cam.com/video/_rJ-HlsTsyM/w-d-xo.html
Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.
Wow. Thank you so much for this sir. I'm going to walk through all these
Angelina has transformed so many songs. Like you felt, she has uncovered meaning and depth in songs to change how the listener experiences them and more importantly feels about them. For instance she transformed Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13, she altered forever how I understood Suspicious Minds by Elvis, her version of Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony was breathtaking. I could go on and on. She has been absolutely incredible for over 10 years and is only 18. The only female artist that has ever made me feel songs like Angelina was Linda Ronstadt....and nobody but Angelina has given me consistent goosebumps when I hear them sing. I actually think I am addicted to her.... I can never get enough.
I am also. She needs to put that warning on all her performances---caution: Highly addictive--no known cure.
I'm excited as you to have met her songs. She's incredible with a nostalgic effect. I'm still in awe of her gift.
Hahahahahahaha... You are so right about this. It's so amazing. And that w@rning needs to be part of her discl@imers
@@TNUELZplease try her rendition of I put a spell on you at the age of 9 y and you know why we are so addicted with this angel ❤️?
There's always something magic ✨🪄in the air ?
👍👍
I'm glad that you have now had the opportunity to enter into the world of the bare foot princess! But, this is only the beginning of the experience that awaits you if you explore the output that Angelina has produced between the ages of 6 and 18. You will be deluged with comments from AJ's extremely enthusiastic fan base who will have suggestions for what to do next and acquaint you with the wonderful history of this amazing young woman.
If you so choose you have a plethora of opportunities. You could look at her performances at age 7 and 8 on Norway's got talent. You could explore her jazz concerts at ages 10 and 11 ("Feeling Good", "Lovin' You", "Diamonds are Forever" . . .}. You could watch any of her many beautiful at home videos accompanied only by guitar ("Stay", "Crazy", "How Great Thou Art" . . . }. Then there are her early originals ("What is Life", "Oslo", "Shield", "Seventh Heaven", "Million Miles"} and her covers done at 14 and 15 ("Billie Jean", "Easy on Me", "My Funny Valentine", "All I Ask" . . .). Not to mention her last couple of years with her Norwegian Concerts, appearance at the FIFA awards, and the release of her new EP, "Old Enough". Let's see; I left out her 2021 Christmas Concert, her performances in Seoul and Japan, her leaked recording of "Still Holding Out for You" and . . . . .
Last December she performed "Unchained Melody".at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. The performance is stunning! On February 29 she had two concerts in Las Vegas. Many of those songs are available on James Thiel’s channel (www.youtube.com/@summaEngineer). And then there is the early release of her original, "Bad Valentine", done in collaboration with Toby Gad!
Yes, Angelina is an amazing talent and a wondrous interpreter of songs. And, in addition to that, her whole story is chronicled in detail from 1.5 years old until today on TH-cam, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook! As a result, many of us, especially the elders among us, have adopted this Norwegian girl as our honorary granddaughter and spend a bit of each day reading about, listening to, and taking pride in her growth as a singer and as a person.
Thank you so much honestly... I'm so happy to have found her. And I can't wait to gradually reel into all that she has. I'm excited about this Journey already. Thank you so much for being here.
I have never encountered a vocalist before whose voice I love so much, who is so extraordinarily captivating and whose music I have become addicted too... an amazing prodigy with a fantastic voice and great musicality...
Angelina Jordan is the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She is incomparable, as you will soon learn. She is the barefoot Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. You will never forget the day you first found her. None of us fans, she calls Angels, ever have! She is the ultimate storyteller in music. No one infuses the emotion of the music as she does. You put her music on, and you will be educated about her here in the comments. She is a gift to us all.
Wow... The barefooted Princess. I trust there is a story behind this. And I can't wait to know it. No one and I repeat no one INFUSES the emotion to the music as she does. You are so right about this. Thank you so much. I can't wait to do more of her
Quite agree: the best I have ever heard... quite extraordinarly talented and also a remarkable personality

I've been addicted to Angelina's music for over 6 years. I see the "Angels" have landed, so I'll be short. I liked this video & I've subscribed for more reactions to her. It looks like she has set the hook & she's reeling you in, so I'm sure you'll be doing more. Looking forward to seeing them. You know talent when you see it & it just oozes out of her!
Hahahahahahaha... You are right... She has completely reeled me in. I can't wait to be get into all of her works that I can lay hold on.. Thank you so much for being here.

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

On May 16, 2024, the first fruits of Angelina's cooperation with Tobi Gad were released. This German composer and record producer based in Los Angeles invited Angeline to an intimate concert at the Hotel Cafe JESSE & FRIENDS, the same one where Adel sang and was discovered. Tobi then took Angelina to London, where she performed His song If I Were A Boy at the London Palladium, and they recorded two versions of the song, Live At Saint James Church, and another studio version illustrated with a film from the streets of London. It seems that Tobi has started cooperation with Angelina and there are several joint songs in the pipeline. At the May concert in Los Angeles, one of them was presented: BAD VALENTINE.
... listening to the best female voice ever !!!
Welcome to the world of Angelina. 😊
Great reaction. ❤
Maybe the greatest ever. She brings you into her special world of song where she sings to your soul as all your troubles temporarily disappear. And yes--you will find most of her work as stunning and amazing as this piece. Welcome, and enjoy your journey.
You can't be more right. There is something inexplicable about her singing Grace
Well, welcome to the AJ Rabbit Hole! 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. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She 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. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024. Currently, she is working with 3 time Grammy winner songwriter/producer Toby Gad creating new original music for her to sing. Gad has co-wrote and produced such big hits like All Of Me by John Legend, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, If I Were A Boy by Beyonce, and Skyscraper by Demi Lovato and a number of others.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!

Wow. Thank you so much for really taking out time to walk me through her about. I'm so grateful and I'm going to do well to check all of these out. Now I know why she's called the Barefooted Princess. It's such a beauty. I'm most glad to announce that I'm now an ANGEL 😇
That's wonderful

From Republic Records bio, Angelina said “Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” See Angelina's book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) for background story of 6-year old Angelina meeting shoeless girl to whom Angelina gave her shoes.

Her tone omg 🙂😍
Love your reaction, and welcome to Angelina`s univers. A angel from Sweden. Love and peace.
Sweden?
Sweden is located in Scandinavia.
Yes He is an Angel(fan of AJ) from Sweden.
Thank you so much sir. I'm super excited and glad to have you here. Peace and Love to you and yours sir.
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
That's so true. I later made a finding and you are so right. Thank you so much. Glad to have you here.
Great Reaction 👍🙏🙏😎
Thank you so much sir.
Signori la VOCE!!!
She is a gift from heaven
Best I'd even seen. She definitely is
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year.
In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. yes the same co-writer of the song .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the seventh version I have heard.
I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song.

I never liked this song till I heard Angelina sing it. (but I'm a little biased since I love all her music since she was 6 years old) I kind of envy you for all the joy that is ahead of you in the "Rabbit Hole" you just fell into😇🤩
was the GOAT at 13...
Definitely she is. No doubt at this point
@@TNUELZ Most of her fans think she reached GOAT status somewhere between 12-18 yo.
Definitely they wouldn't be wrong with that assertion.
Subbed. Cannot wait to see more of your AJ reactions
