👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘 - เพลง
🙏🙏Thank all of you for the wonderful comments. I had to listen to this a few more times to get beyond "reacting" and just be consumed by her talent/voice. Rest assured I will be doing more of her songs in the very near future. Thank you all for the suggestions, support, subscribing, and sharing the video.🙏🙏
The links you placed in the description are incorrect and/or incomplete. Here is the correct one for "Million Miles" live in studio: th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html For FB the correct link is: facebook.com/search/top?q=angelina%20jordan and for IG: instagram.com/angelinajordana/ She places an "a" at the end for her second last name "Astar". Whatever, thank you for making the effort, and I very much enjoyed your reaction/analysis.
You said, "I am not a vocal coach, just a composer"....and yet goes on and describes beautifully and "educatively" her voice and the interaction between her and the band...
Thnx for a wonderful reaction, and some new angles to the soundscape of this song!
This song is medicine for a
Hi from Russia, please listen to the Russian young singer Diana Ankundinova. She is Dimash, but among women. Believe me, she has a unique voice, more than Jordan. Her songs: "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Wicked Game", The River, "Derniere Danse".
I don’t find from you any additional reactions to Angelina. She has 8 new original songs since this reaction.
She said “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine.”
Her first big hit that's not a cover, Its all hers. She wrote it to her Grandfather who she lost in 2019. The dedication was heart warming and shows that she is still the same humble girl we all fell in love with. here it is; "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine". -Angelina Jordan
Nice reaction bruh

Angelina Jordan....I M HOLDING OUT FOR YOU.....❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your reaction and honest appraisal. She is a gem!

I’m still holding out for you - Angelina Jordan - one of her best
Angelina's "career" began when she was 7. She won Norway's Got Talent after turning 8.
You have to lissen when she won the «Noway,s got talent»in 2014 at seven years old and was in the «Amerika got talent» in 2020..she can sing enyting of songs..jazz,sould,pop,you name it..she yuse her voice like a instrument an yous very few instrument in her song,s..she olso has 135.list cover songs from big,s artist..😊👌💟
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The artist grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2021 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, Save the world shes on her way to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.
Thanks a lot
The pianist is Rob Christie, who started A&R Records. He has Grammies and has produced recordings for Sinatra and other great musicians. He is now the musical director at Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group, and plays on many of Angelinas original and cover songs.
Angelina composed this song at the age of 13, just after her maternal grandfather passed away. They were extremely close. Angelina arranges all of her songs even when she was 7 years old, and won Norway’s Got Talent. She is now 15 years old. Angelina never takes more than one or two takes.
if liked million miles listen to i put a spell on you when she was 8yrs old the black/white verdion
9 not 8
Now listen to her version of "I Put A Spell On You", the black & white version, that she recorded when she was 9.
Thanks for your insightful and thoughtful reaction!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! You will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it extremely well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof! That’s what TH-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
I really don't give a damn what you think about a musical genius, who ever you think you are !!
Beautiful song and vocal performance!
Incredible that she composed this masterpiece at such a young age 😢
This song is so emotional and touching and when thinking of the loss of her grandfather can't help but bring a tear to your eye. I suspect if there is an afterlife that when he hears it he is crying too but not so much tears of loss and sadness, but tears of happiness and pride for his wonderful talented granddaughter.
She does her own arranging. Please play more.
beautiful reaction to a superb song sung from deep within the heart/soul.
Angelina is probably one of the most remarkable singer out there. She wrote this song to honor her Grandfather who passed. Love you passing on your knowledge.
This one is written for her maternal grandfather who died a few years ago.
Wonderful, insightful reaction. Like it alot.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks for a wonderful first reaction to Angelina. She wrote this beautiful song as a tribute to her maternal grandfather, who passed away in November, 2019. She said, "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."
Hello and, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!"
This is her song and here is the story behind it: Her grandpa had recently passed away and she composed this song as a tribute to him. BUT, she also wrote the lyrics in a way so that anyone who has had a similar experience could get comfort from her words.
Yes, remarkable. Not only a one-of-a-kind singer/artist but a wonderful human being, as well.
Oh, btw, the piano player is Rob Christie, a multiple Grammy award winner.
I look forward to more Angelina reactions from you The journey you are about to go on is quite a ride!
I trust you are well. I would very much like to hear from you again.
Angelina is a rising prodigy. She's one of the few singers who don't need auto-tune since childhood. She appeared on stage (all over the world) and on TV since she was 7 years old. So, although she's 15 now, she already got 8 years experience as a pro, which makes her one of the youngest talented singers of our time.
As of yet she hasn't got many originals, but as you said, she's at the start of her career and I think she will drop many wonderful albums in the future. It's also interesting to know that she's able to partake essentially in the writing process of a song (unlike other singers who just rely on songwriters), otherwise it would not have been possible to write this song with heartfelt lyrics. It's always best of course when a singer has a deep connection to a song. My absolute favourite by Angelina is "What is life", she composed the song at the age of 11 (lyrics and music). The lyrics are simply brilliant! They are contrasty, just how life is, and when she sings about earthly things the melody is low, when the lyrics shift to metaphysical question and the sky, the melody goes high. You've got to check out the original, which is the lyric video th-cam.com/video/crngnoq0WLc/w-d-xo.html The original is recorded with an orchestra. It's funny that another version, a home recording accompanied by a keyboard, got more views. The original is definitely better composition-wise, but people tend to like what they "see", that's why a performance video is always more popular than a lyrics video. If you check out the original (lyric video) you will notice that the orchestra plays motifs that express the words in the lyrics, e.g. "sitting at the piano" --> the piano comes forth, e.g. "shine like a star" --> flutes play a trill... Also, when she sings "we come, we see, we go", after the word "go" there's a long pause in the singing part!, it's simply brilliant! They didn't do this in that home recording, probably the keyboard player forgot about it. That's why I can only recommend the lyric video. Thanks for sharing your take as a composer on Angelina's music.
Just beautiful. For me the introduction of the cello pulled out whatever emotions the gorgeous voice and piano hadn't already moved.
Great reaction and thank you...awesome comments below, really can't add much. thumbs up to them and you.: )
Wow, thank you
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s World 👍🙂
Hi,
yes, it's her original - you said "... the very beginning of her career..." ;-) but it's not the first, but the 4th original (if you count only the songs written by herself) - and she made this song AND the arrangement (like also most of her cover song arrangements!) by herself ...
Now I would like to give you my "standard firsties comment" (SFC) and I would like to encourage you to explore her oeuvre of 130++ songs ;-))))
So, here it is -my SFC (with slightly personalization ;-) ):
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this really nice and professional reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on TH-cam with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...
She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).
Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occations she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… ;-)

5. "What Is Life": th-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/w-d-xo.html -
and songs especially wrote for her:
1. "Song for A": th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html - (there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie - the woman in the lyrics - or both of them ;-) - the lyrics are from a poem from Robert Burns written in 1783 ! )
2. "Above the water": th-cam.com/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/w-d-xo.html - interesting voice - even if EDM is not my preferred genre ;-)
... here her "mini concert" from AGT the Champions (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...):
"Bohemian Rhapsody": th-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/w-d-xo.html
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": th-cam.com/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/w-d-xo.html

Besides she is mostly making her very own arrangement there are some very interesting videos of her, where she uses the original arrangement or a big one of someone else like "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston Tribute) th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html or "Fly Me To The Moon" in the arrangement of Quincy Jones (rehearsal with concert mixed audio for his birthday party in the O2 arena): th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html .
And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: th-cam.com/video/A-OKLslO74Y/w-d-xo.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order th-cam.com/channels/55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA.html), Andy Schnell, ...
And a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her lastchanges for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: th-cam.com/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/w-d-xo.html or another version of it: th-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/w-d-xo.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): th-cam.com/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/w-d-xo.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
th-cam.com/video/82cdnAUvsw8/w-d-xo.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Btw. I read somwhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs granpa is Japanese) and there AJs granma bought this candle as a souvenier ;)
...I hope this story isn't a HOAX :))
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
Very comprehensive and informative comment Andreas.... 💛👍
I've seen a lot of reactions to Angelina but never one with an instrumental composer's insight. The observations were a revelation, showing how Angelina's talent as a songwriter/composer/arranger is even greater than I thought.
Thank you for your reaction to our angel❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My pleasure 😊
Angelina's Christmas Concert that aired on the 23rd and is available through the 31 of Dec, with the quality and history of musicians that were involved, it shows how much Republic Records believes in, and are willing to invest in’ our Angelina Jordan’s unbelievable talent. She is one of the greatest talents the world has experienced! The concert was magic!!!!
Love your reaction..But you know she is singing for nearly 10 years now and she is only 15..this is going to be some journey for, you. Just as it has been for me.From that day when I I found her (by pure luck) on youtube,eight years ago,singing "Gloomy sunday" she was seven at that time.You should start from there and carry on.But a word of advice ,it's going to be highly addictive.
Angelina is only 15 and half yrs old, and has already 140 songs on here you can listen to !
Angelina voice is very recognizable you don’t have to see her to know who it is because her voice is one-of-a-kind
This her song,she wrote it! amazing talent,amazing young lady!
It is such an amazing feeling and excitement to hear and enjoy the art and talent of Angelina with an expert and composer like you . Thanks Sir for beautiful reaction and supporting her in her path to reunite
the humanity through good and soulful music.
Great first reaction to this awesome young artist. Yes - it was written and arranged by Angelina at 14 years of age. Welcome to Angelina's world. She is an extraordinary young artist with over 140 covers and other videos that she has recorded between the ages of 6 and 15 which is her current age. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and has already established herself as an accomplished Jazz artist. Her preferred genre is Jazz but she has done covers of about every genre you can name. What you will find in Angelina is a vocalist who doesn't do vocal gymnastics, she simply and beautifully interprets the story and meaning of the song and pours her soul into every performance.
Angelina has sung all over the world for Nobel Laureates, heads of state, music icons, and other dignitaries. She has performed everywhere from small weddings of a few people, to London's O2 stadium, and Seoul South Korea with 40,000 people. She performs at jazz festivals, conferences, and charity benefits. At the age of 15, she is a seasoned performer with 8 years of recording and performing. Many of her live performances when she was 10, 11, and 12 years old blow away even the original adult performers of the songs she sings. She is definitely worth your time to experience and get to know. She has covered Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more.
Here is a good sampling of my favorites of hers that cover a variety of genres and ranges. I have included some of her live rehearsal sessions which actually blow away other performers produced releases. This is just a short list and other fans of Angelina will have the same length list with different songs. I have rarely heard one of her performances that I have thought was not up to par.

Thanks for a great reaction! Indeed her voice is very special! So warm and soothing! Listening to her first performances (Billie Holiday) will surprise you too! Cutest angel you can imagine!
Her emotional songs speak to all of us. This song tells me she knows the loss of those who leave us & how much we miss them❤
Angelina Jordan (Her Majesty Angelina, in my mind) reminds the work of explorers. She is exploring the human voice, what human voice can do.
The Decomposer Lounge - thanks for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Steve! Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan. She will continue to dazzle you song after song. Although the songs will change, different tempo's, different lyrics, one factor remains constant, love. She is truly a messenger of love and she passes the love in her heart to all of us. When we feel goosebumps, when we begin to tear up with the urge to cry, and find it difficult to string words together to make an intelligent sentence, we know she has touched our hearts. And, Steve, she will never leave us.
Her voice and her all around artistic capabilities are undeniably almost beyond belief and then, when you consider her persona and what kind of a beautiful and wonderful human being she is, well, throw away the charts. She is very special. You picked up very soon about how humble she appears to be. She is. And, she has stated that the most comfortable times she experiences in her life is when she is singing. Yep, born to sing is a reality with Angelina.
Thanks for a new perspective on Angelina’s work. You are the first I found to mention the accompaniment.
Some of your comments suggest to me that you think she received more assistance with the music composition than I think. American Songwriter quotes her, “I have been writing a lot of songs, but I decided on this song because of a feeling it gave me. I’ve never felt that feeling before. When I write a song, it is mostly from my experiences. Music for me has always been my passion. It’s been clear to me what kind of music I want to make. With this song, when I created the melody and lyrics, it started out totally different than what it turned out to be. It felt like something was guiding me in the studio,” she says. “What is so special about working with such a producer as Stargate is that I feel so comfortable. They understand my music and from the moment I met them, we had that chemistry to make the songs. That’s the most important thing, I believe. It feels like something was guiding me to be able to write this song. I think everybody in the studio was aware that something magical was happening.” (You get chicken skin; I tear up most times with her sound, and that is not typical for me with any other artists.)
Her grandfather who passed away with a tribute to him but she’s never alone drives connected by Spirit said I see you and my tears
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced.
I learned information about how the music was formed to support Angelina. I have not learned that from a vocal coach. Thank you.
Thanks for your wonderful reaction and analysis. Many ordinary reactors say the same thing and it has gotten boring after a while. only a few offer great analysis because of their experiences and expertises. and you are one of them. thanks. I look forward to more reactions from you ..
Wow, thank you!

Thank you for your genuine reaction.
Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her.
Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong.
Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.
After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down.
Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan.
Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions.
At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities.
Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come.
Thank you for reading and Keep up the good work.
Awesome. Your experienced input enriches my love for this Angelina Jordan song.
"It's like he's in my tears" Ouch
When I first heard Angelina at AGT about 18 months ago she stole my heart and soul and I went through all her old videos over 100 of them and some are just beyond belief, she is so versatile it is off the scale, when I heard this song for the first time I sobbed like a baby and for the next 100 listens, she gave me heart and soul back but wrapped in spiritual dust. She lifts my spirit in a way I can't really describe. I think you have started at the perfect point , I would suggest Shield as the next one but never ever miss all her Lana De Rey and Adele covers they are simply brilliant. I so enjoyed your review, the honestly, profession approach and acknowledging a star.
Thank you for your nice and intresang reaction. Have a nice day 😊
I really do hope you’ll take a closer look at who this young lady is ..you’re exactly the type of person who would really understand the genius we have before us..subd ))
he really does need to do more research about Angelina. just from listening to his comments it appears he assumes she is just a singer, period. she is a wonderful singer, and song writer. she arranges her songs the way SHE wants them not the way some producer wants it done. you will notice in her videos, especially in studios or rehearsals, Angelina is making notes and corrections to the music and she will correct the musicians at times. this young lady is a force to be seen and heard !!!!!!!!! she is also an author. she wrote and published a book in Norway when she was 9 years old. the original video for this song was an animated video made using drawings that Angelina and her grand mother had made. Angelina wrote this song back in 2018, if i am not mistaken, after her grandfather had passed away. lots of information that needs to be known by these reviewers...........
The most heart wrenching part of this video was watching poor Geebz reach for his proverbial daily anchor at 8:20 and having it not be there. Damn near threw out his shoulder as a result 😩
😊 you can hear and understand what most of us feel😊
such an important message.....'you are never alone'
Since you talk about mouth shape, you have to check her out when she was singing with only one tooth in front. BTW she was 7 then
it's the warmth with that Rasp in her voice that grabs you.....
When you say "Old Soul" this has been an ongoing description of her since she was 7, If you go back to her covers when she was 7, 8, 9, and so on, you will not be able to mentally handle that this is a child singing because she sounds like a 30year old jazz singer. She brings the essence of the original singer and still keeps it her own. So I would challenge you to react to some of her early work so you can get the whole story.
Thanks for the wonderful reaction. I always love to hear someone who understands music react to Angelina. She's been called a prodigy since she was seven years old and at the tender age of 15 now, I think the term still applies.
Thanks for your observations. Enjoyed the reaction. I hope you look into some of the other Angelina Jordan performances that have been suggested earlier.
Her chill factor hits most people at some point within every song. Welcome to Angelina. 💕
I was very excited when I saw you had posted a reaction to Angelina Jordan. I appreciated your high level break down and analysis. Your reaction was everything I knew it would be. She is unique. Enjoy the ride and I will enjoy the watch.
Thank you so much!!
@@rpgeebzmusicarcade I really do not want to direct your journey but there are a few prerequisites just to own she is a prodigy. So options are to understand when she was 6 or she was 7 and 8 or 9 years 2 months else 13 and 14.... then there is all the growth in between. Which ever route all leads to the same greatness. Girl of a thousand voices all ties to her vibe of a wave be it sound or water. The 7 and 8 are Norways Got Talent as well as the 13 and 14 relate to AGT champions 2020. 9 years and 2 months will just set out her absolute voice control... Stupid silly bit still out of this world.
I just could tell you know music!!
From previous comments, i see you know it is indeed Angelina's own song. She has an amazing talent with different affects to create major magic. I enjoyed your reaction very much. Thank you.
She has allways arranged her songs herself. Even at the early age. Love to see you listen to 7th heaven!
Aloha I’m from Hawaii too‼️
✔️Out - AJ 🎶 BOHEMIAN RAPSODY & 🎶YELLOW BRICK ROAD📌
Great reaction sir,, this will be a journey you won't regret at all,,, if you choose to do more of this unique Queen of all that has to do with music,, 👣🌬🌎
Wait until you hear more of her stuff. It will blow you away! I've been listening to music of all types for 60 years and she is one of the most incredible performers I have ever heard. Quincy Jones says she is one the greatest singers he's ever heard.
I loved your reaction.
She is unique, and only 15 years old..
I think this is my favorite song from her. Later I found out it was written by her. Also that it's about her grandfather. Very precious.
Don't just look forward to Angelina's future - look at her past work, too. It's phenomenal! All of it. Dive in anywhere and you'll find a gem. I particularly love her original song, Oslo, recorded with a full military band.
This is my top 1 songs of Angelina..... thank you sir👍👍 subs. ✌
So refreshing to hear reviews from someone really know about music…Thanks a lot!
Hello from Norway 🇳🇴 I recommend you to listen to a cover named Born to die. Better then the original. As matter as fact every thing she sings is better. This song your playing now is about her grandfather who died not so long ago. She sings amazing jazz 🎺 songs to. She learned of her grandmother when she was just 2-3 years old. Million miles is something she wrote to honor her grandfather. 👍
It would be great if you could react to the Angelina Jordan's cover of "I put a spell on you" (Black and White version), her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, and her most recent covers of ALL I ASK by Adele and Heal The World by Michael Jackson. Also her original 7h Heaven(official studio version)
Thank you for this first and interesting reaction to this beautiful black and white video of this enchanting song by Angelina. It's a very sweet and very intense song dedicated with infinite love to the missing grandfather and to all the people who have lost someone, but it is also a song full of hope, with beautiful lyrics, especially if you think it was written by a 13 year old girl ❤️ ❤️
Love your reaction (I checked it out yesterday).
As a composer, I’d love to hear your opinion of Angelina’s newest original “7th Heaven”. It’s a great tune, and I think it telegraphs the direction Angelina is likely to take her musical career.
The lyrics are upbeat but profound, and the melody has all of the earmarks of becoming a modern jazz classic! Make sure you react to the live studio version. 😉👍
I have seen many reaction videos to Angelina Jordan. Your reaction, or better to say analysis, is one of the best and had a lot of new aspects for me. Great. Thanks.
Thank you! 😊
FYI, Angelina already has an amazing musical journey, she won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 in 2014, and got a Golden buzzer in America's Got Talent Champions audition for a rendition of Queens Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13. BTW great insight into the song thanks.
about the arrangement angelina said she had the melody in her head and in the studio it came together pretty quick and easy...
It is amazing! She is a very hard worker, and has been going full speed from the beginning to this date. Her confidence, based upon her talent and significant experience, allows her to quickly make decisions, making changes as needed before and during performances.
Excellent reaction, we need that kind of analysis, the beauty and the difficult simplicity of the arrangements, the interaction between the instruments and the song itself. I hope you have the interest and wisdom to follow the journey of this wonderful artist who is only 15 years old today, but has already done so much for music and for our hearts!
She composed this song about the death or her grandfather, who she was very close to. She does a lot of covers, but has several amazing songs of her own. She does her own arranging and also designs most of the clothes she performs in. Other suggestions for her original I'd recommend are: "What is Love?" and "Shield." Covers you need to hear include "Summertime" and "I'm a Fool to Want you" at age 7, "I put a spell on you" (Black and White video at age 9), "I'm feeling Good" (inside with jazz orchestra at age 10), and Bohemian Rhapsody (America's Got Talent: The Champions."
She does almost all of her own composing and arrangements on her originals and arranges all of her covers(always has). She does have producers for her originals.
7th Heaven is her second released piece. Very cool song. As for an old original of hers, you should check out Shield. And don't neglect to look at her amazing covers like I Put a Spell on You (black and white version, done when she was 9 years old, but you wouldn't believe that just listening to her), It's a Man's World, I'd Rather Go Blind, Feeling Good, Born to Die, and many others.
Hi. This song is special for me. Dedicated to all that have lost a loved one and makes me think of my losses and I have cried a lot to this song ❤ Angelina has one of the best tone in her voice that i have heard before and I love this artist and human being called Angelina Jordan Astar ❤ The barefoot story, the way she arranges her songs and covers, and the emotions she puts into every performance is bliss for me ❤ Have an amazing day, Sir 👍
I love Angelina great reaction … I hope you stay on board with this artist
When she won Norway's Got Talent her audition song was Gloomy Sunday and second was I'm a Fool to Want You. Both by Billie Holiday. 3rd song was Bang Bang then last was Summertime!
There is a 4 song compilation of these songs. And shows her winning at the end. It's about 101/2 minutes long. It's the beginning of her singing in public. This would be a great place to start. Kill 4 birds with one stone.
We love her, and you will too.
but it doesn't have english subtitles...watch Gloomy Sunday on it's own with cc
Angelina Jordan wrote Million Miles right after her maternal grandfather passed away in 2019. She dedicated Million Miles to anyone who has lost a loved one and for me this song allowed me to finally properly grieve the loss of 5 loved ones over the 4+ years prior to this song's release. IMO Angelina has the most soulful, emotional voice I have ever heard and she is the only vocalist to make me cry. You gave a great description of her beautiful tone and voice upon first listening. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. 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.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 or 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 8, (please refer to replies by erik to a comment I made on JHTreacts video on 6/7/21 who provides proof Angelina had already turned 8) Angelina’s audition on NGT 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.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of 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.
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.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her unique arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, 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 a fan put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles written by Angelina, was released. She dedicated it to anyone who has lost a loved one. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song and was also written by Angelina. Angelina’s family requested Republic Records to allow her to have as normal a childhood as possible. This is why Republic Records has not promoted her first two singles.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Thank you , I knew bits and pieces of her story but y put them in order. Love this girl I've been watching her from her beginning, she is like a beautiful flower that keeps getting more beautiful as she ages.🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤❤
@@jeannettesmith5492 Thanks for your reply. Angelina has improved the quality of my life.
