Good guess! She was 9 y-o (& 2 months) when this was recorded. Angelina was born in Oslo, Norway on Jan 10, 2006, so now she's 18. There are about 200 covers by Angelina on YT. This version is the closest to the original crazy version by Screaming Jay Hawkins (picture on the candle). Go watch it PLS. Angelina rearranged the song to suit her voice and her take on the song. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" on AGT (A Must reaction for this iconic rendition). Angelina is well known for being unpredictable when she starts singing. You never can guess what voice is going to come out of her mouth. That's why they call her "The Queen of Jazz with a Thousand Voices". More Angelina PLS.
I got this one from the TH-cam algorithm and I was gobsmacked! Then I went down the rabbit hole. Watched this one hundred times and it is always astonishing.

Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan Lauren....you are now amongst the several thousand reactors who have discovered this remarkable young music genius. We fans "Angels" as she refers to us are several million strong and love to welcome new reactors into our family. Hope you shall continue this glorious journey with us.. Cheers. ❤❤
Angelina Jordan Astar, born on January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway, showed a passion for singing at an incredibly young age. At just one and a half years old, she sang in her crib, inspired by Whitney Houston's performances on TH-cam, and by the age of three, she was already listening to jazz and classic legends on her iPad. While her grandmother, artist and poet Mery Zamani, was the greatest influence of her early musical tastes, it was Angelina who ultimately decided to pursue a career in music, with great support from her family. At the age of six and seven, Angelina had her very first studio performances, singing "Rolling in the Deep" and "I Who Have Nothing." However, it was at the age of eight that she gained viral fame by winning Norway's Got Talent. Singing old-time classics from artists like Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, she became one of the youngest vocalists ever to win an international Got Talent show. Her rendition of Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" at the age of nine is considered one of the best performances by a vocalist of that age. She is truly a prodigy. By the time Angelina was eleven, she recorded her album "It's Magic," which consistently charted as one of the top 10 best-selling jazz albums. With over 130 covers of songs from 80 different artists by the age of 13, and over 200 to date, Angelina always adds her unique touch to each rendition. Here is a semi-chronological TH-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu In 2019 and 2020, at the ages of thirteen and fourteen, Angelina once again gained viral attention on America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her unique versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" impressed not only Simon Cowell but also earned her the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. The surviving members of Queen also praised her performance. Perhaps most astonishingly, Angelina sings in English, her third language. During her earlier years, and especially after her America's Got Talent performances, multiple record company executives took notice of Angelina's talent. However, her family declined their offers, prioritizing her education and a normal childhood. It wasn't until she turned fourteen that a contract was signed with Republic Records, marking the start of her career. Between the ages of eleven and twelve, Angelina even composed her first three original songs: "What is Life," "Oslo," and "Shield." In November 2020, at the age of fourteen, she released the song "Million Miles" as a tribute to her late maternal grandfather. This marked her first release under Republic Records, and a year later she followed it up with her jazzy and upbeat single, "7th Heaven." Why does Angelina perform barefoot? It all stems from a promise she made to herself at the age of six. While traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, they encountered a young orphan girl who had no shoes and had scarred feet. This girl weighed people with scales to earn money. Angelina gave her own favorite shoes to the girl, and when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the girl said she wanted to be a doctor but couldn't because she had to take care of her siblings. When Angelina was asked the same question, she said she wanted to sing for the world. The young girl promised to pray for Angelina. Since that day, Angelina has performed barefoot as a reminder of those less fortunate. At the age of nine, she even wrote a book about this experience titled "Between Two Hearts," becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. Aside from her music, Angelina is known for her charitable nature. She has helped raise millions for children and environmental causes, mostly from performances at fundraising events. At the age of eight, she even pledged to donate her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children in need. She has performed for heads of state in various countries to raise money for charity and during the pandemic, she was seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. Throughout her career, she has continued to prioritize helping those in need. Now that Angelina has recently turned eighteen, her activities with Republic Records have multiplied. She released her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" on May 5th, 2023, followed by her EP "Old Enough" in July, featuring five new original tracks. Her song "Our Time" has been featured in a commercial by SoFi, a finance company, and is played regularly at Sodi Stadium. Additionally, it has been heard on various radio stations. Angelina's performances have taken her to numerous high-profile events. In December 2022, she performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles, and in February 2023, she performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, reaching an audience in the millions. She was also invited on Germany's Next Top Model in 2023 by Heidi Klum. On November 25, 2023, Angelina had the honor of attending Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. Additionally, she was invited to perform at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, on December 11, 2023. Narges is an activist for women's rights who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran. This performance held great significance for Angelina and her family, as her grandmother Mery Zamani grew up in Iran. They hope that Angelina's performance, combined with Narges' story, will inspire change and raise awareness of her mission. Most recently, Angelina performed two shows in Las Vegas on the same stage that Elvis Presley graced for many years. Her new song, Princess of Ruins, is a tribute to the young girl Angelina gave her shoes to when she was 6 years old. This should be Angelina's anthem. Angelina's humble and compassionate nature is what makes her so special, in addition to her music. Since childhood, her goal has been to sing for the world and spread love and peace, and she is well on her way to achieving that. Peace and love.

If u continue ur journey down this rabbit hole, just expect the unexpected 😉 us Angel's (her fan base ) have many names for her Barefoot Princess & Girl with the 100 voices, u soon find out why 😊 Have a good one take care and stay safe greetings From Norway 😊
Actually, there is a video of her at 1 1/2 singing a whitney houston song. She was born to sing. Prepare yourself to be bombarded by angels which is her name for her fans, we are many and passionate lol. She has about 250 covers and originals all of which are exceptional. Its a deep rabbit hole but we are here for it.
I’m so happy for you! Even though you’re about 20 years behind on Angelina’s journey, you can catch up. I enjoy many singers and most styles of music (except jansta rap). Angelina can do it all. I look forward to many more reactions of her music and I would suggest her most beautiful rendition of Unchained Melody that she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize this past December. It is one of her most outstanding performances.
At this point, Angelina was already a well known artist in Norway and she was already 3 years into her recording career...great reaction Lauren...if I were to suggest a song for you from 'nowish', I'd have to choose a song called 'All My Fault' from her mid-2023 EP release, Old Enough....seriously good!
That little girl is now 18 years old (2024) and 6 feet tall - she just performed her first headline concert in Las Vegas on Feb 29th, 2024 and I had the opportunity to attend and she was amazing.
Welcome to the greatest Journey! The Angelina Jordan Journey. You can't just check out one more from the future of music. Not when she has 12 years of pure soul entrenched hynoptically mesmerizing music! 200+ songs! And just getting started!🎉🎉🎉
She is a musical genius and is 18 now she just finished a 2 show concert in Vagas ,she has a huge fan base that's all over the world she has been on the stage performing for over 10 years
"Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Yes, this was a great introduction to a 9 year old phenom. And, as the expression goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" She was singing lines from a Whitney Houston song in bed with a microphone at1 and 1/2 years old! The video is on you tube! Obviously this particular video is super unique and stands alone. But, when you join our family on her musical journey the reaction you get will change dramatically and her soulful voice will float streams of love into your heart. You will see what I mean. I could go on for hours but I will let Angelina take it from here. I know you're anxious to see her more recently so how about this: Angelina at 17 years old (she turned 18 on Jan10th) singing her version of 'Unchained Melody' at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony in Oslo, Norway. The woman being honored currently is in prison in Iran. The charge? For speaking out about the rights of women. Her two children accepted the award in behalf of their mother. They were in attendance at the Ceremony and were sitting right on front of Angelina when she performed. A very emotional moment. THEN, you can skip back to when she was younger. How good was she when she was younger? Well, most of us who have been part of her extended family for many years often play songs from when she was10, 12, 13, etc., years old and not because the music is 'cute'. Her music is, well, you'll find out. I know, I'm teasing you, but I am so happy for you that you have discovered her. Now that she's turned 18 the wraps are coming off and a world tour is not too far off. Sooner than later, everyone in the world will know who Angelina Jordan is. And we will be so happy for them.
Her bare feet have a purpose. Age 6 she met a poor girl almost same age as her (maybe 1 year older). They spoke about their dreams. The poor girl wanted to be a doctor. Angelina said do not give up on your dreams. She said she wanted to be a superstar and sing to the whole world. She gave away her favorite shoes to her and the poor girl said she wanted to pray for Angelina. Recently she gave out an original song about it recently at her 29.02 concert at Westgate Las Vegas this year. It is called "Princess of ruins" and she told bare feet is part of her identity, so she will continue to do that until all children in the world have shoes. Best videos from this concerts (2 in same night) are from Big Angie fan or James Thiel who both recorded it from front rows. Good quality sound and video. Great reaction and i hope for more reactions from Angelina. Pick any song and you will be positively surprised every time. Love from Norway!
Thank you Lauren for your reaction to our old soul AJ , first heard singing a line from a Whitney song at 18 months there is a video., teaching herself to sing ,from 3 yrs old scouring TH-cam for all the jazz greats ( her Granma Mery an Iranian renown artist and poet played jazz around the house) but the choices are all Angelina you might want to go back before you go forward to see where the legend began at 7yrs old her audition on Norway's got Talent "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday our mini jazz queen went viral.. and went on to win the show at 8 yrs old , there has never been an Angelina before . Her angels adore her (fans) of all ages.💜👣💎
Howdee! No matter how much you drink, it's not going to be enough...Angelina is a gifted powerhouse. She is 9 but debuted on Norway's Got Talent at age 7...okay, take a sip! She WON the competition and elected to donate the entire cash prize to children's charity...okay, take another sip! At 9yrs old, became the youngest published female for Norway, (another sip of your drink) her book is the story of why she performs barefooted...(At 18 yrs old, she keeps that promise she made). She just did her FIRST gig in Vegas a few weeks ago. If you want a quick view of her "history" her mom produced a mini film documentary...you get a view of her family, (to which she refers as her "Shield"), it's titled "Angelina Jordan 10 Years in the Making." I pretty sure we'll see you on the flipside, so thnx for the entertaining reaction and, FYI, I've seen plenty of reactors who partake in a drink or two...and Kleenex...ultimately many of her renditions of her renditions will bring tears..lots of tears. A crazy, wonderful musical adventure and whirlwind ride. PEACE!!
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 11 songs from age 7 to 17 (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. 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", and her even more recently released Christmas EP: th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html She cites Billy 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.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from this musical prodigy, At 9 years old Angelina actually arranged this rendition herself, Angelina is paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins who was a blues musician from the 1950s, Angelina is commanding the performance she is the boss, Angelina has a beautiful unique silvery vibrato,she won Norway 🇳🇴 Got Talent at 8 years old, and signed with Republic Records at 14 years old, Angelina has a huge army of dedicated fans and her fans are known as Angels, Angelina takes a classic song and still pays tribute to the original but makes the song her own,with Angelina it’s not about herself it’s always about the song that’s why this musical genius is so special,Angelina has around 200 upgrades of covers and 14 original songs,Angelina is known as the barefoot Queen of jazz and soul with a thousand different styles and voices, great reaction thanks 🙏
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. You just met the Empress of JAZZ!!! Enjoy the trip you have a long fun journey ahead of you! Oh and you are now an Angelina "Angel".😊
Hope you join her global fan base and help promote all her newer work. At 18 she has 10 years of amazing music in her catalog but is still relatively unknown. Count on this: she will always surprise you; she will never disappoint.

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.
👣👣👣 Here's one from her all original EP, OLD ENOUGH. Although this is one of the songs that exist only in the visualizer format, her voice and lyrics make up for that absence. The song I'm recommending is called DIAMOND, and all I can say is wow! Don't get me wrong, all 6 of her songs are amazing. There are currently only two full music videos to accompany the EP with LOVE DON'T LET ME GO, and NOW I'M THE FOOL. As a side note, this EP depicts her transition to her full-time music career at the age of 17 after her graduation from high school (she turned 18 on 10 January, 2024). After winning Norway's Got Talent at age 8, her parents decided that Angelina would fully enjoy her childhood. They knew all too well how the music industry might take that away from her. Does this mean she reverted to being a wall-flower. Certainly not! She's made over 200 covers (the earliest video we possess of her at age 6), has been on many stages around the world, has interacted with many world dignitaries (i.e., Barack Obama), iconic people from the music industry (i.e., Quincy Jones), and has performed twice for the Nobel Peace Prize recipients at ages 8 and 17. She signed with Republic Records at the age of 14, following her appearance on America's Got Talent, The Champions edition in 2020. Departing from full control over her career and performances, Angelina was given both full artistic control and the decision over all production or performances. Graduating at 17 years old, in 2023, Angelina passed the final hurdle her parents wanted for her. Thus, she declared to the world that she was OLD ENOUGH. She now lives in LA with her mother, Sara, her little sister, Juliette (12), and her love and mentor, Grandma Mery Zamani. Norway still considers her as one of its national treasures. Angelina has been engaged in bringing attention to child welfare issues and fund raisers. Most recently, she released a wonderful documentary, chronicling her life from 8 to 18. The documentary was crafted leading up to her second concert in the US, the most recent one held in Las Vegas. It includes snippets from her at 18 months old singing a Whitney Houston song and her her audition at 7 years old on Norway's Got Talent. There aren't a lot of spoilers in the background music, but if you prefer going into all of her material completely blind, we understand you not reacting to the documentary.

Great reaction!, Although she did not damage her voice during this performance, she has never sang it quite like this again. Likely having been advised to protect her voice. Really looking forward to seeing more Angelina with you!
Oh welcome my friend to the world of Angelina Jordan. A child, prodigy and musical genius for sure. This beautiful young child has been singing since the age of 1 and 1/2 in the crib and now our 18 is becoming a global superstar for sure. Angelina was only 9 years old in this video and for your information she did what n Norway's. Got Talent at the age of eight. Has sung for audiences all over the world raising money for children's charities. She just recently sang "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace prize event in Oslo Norway in December. And also just recently played the Westgate theater in Las Vegas in February ! As you will find, she has a huge number of fans called Angels and they know Angelina as the barefoot princess because she always performs barefoot. She also is the queen of jazz and the girl with a thousand voices. Angelina from a very young age has jazz infused in her DNA through her mother grandmother Mery with mentors like Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra with modern mentors like Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Nora Jones and the great Elvis Presley. You have only 250 covers and originals to go. my friend and I guarantee every single one of them will make you want to hear more. The reason that Angelina is loved by everyone is that she is still a very humble, sincere, compassionate and loving soul. She has a very protective family as you will find out and a tremendously protective fan base. She signed with Republic Records a few years ago and they built her own recording studio to develop her talents and she is doing that as we speak now. She is their most coveted young artist and will be brought on to the world stage in the coming years for sure. I want to thank you for starting your journey with Angelina, Jordan and I hope you enjoy so many many more videos of her fabulous music. Sending you , much thanks and love from Canada always 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/w-d-xo.html
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
You have just been introduced to one of the most incredible human beings amongst us. Angelina is not only gifted but her heart is pure gold. She’s simply incredible, my inspiration to always do better and treat people with love. Thank you for listening, there’s so much more to hear. I’m sure others will tell you more.
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan a a ypoun legend. now living in LA, Angelina Jordan (curent 18 Yeats 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. Sung 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 ... Young listeners will be reached when angelina wants it. She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, her family, and herself, she actually sets the pace herself to total fame within 2/3 years I guess. 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 at the age of just turned 18!!!! 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)
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (now 18 y old) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.
This is the best Artist you never heard of , now you have ENJOY , take a jump down the rabbit hole and us ANGELS will catch you and give you a tour of fantastic music that will give you the biggest feels
Subscribed and waiting for more Angelina. Here she is 9 years old and this is her arrangement of the song. You've stepped into a very large and deep rabbit hole here. At this point she is already a seasoned performer since she started at the age of seven when she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. Actually she started singing at the age of 1-1/2, but NGT was her first public gig where she went viral on TH-cam almost instantly. She calls her fans "her angels" and they will be here in droves to fill you in. Peace and Love.
WELCOME YES NOT ONLY IS SHE AN AMAZING SINGER BUT AN AMAZING PERSON. . IM SURE OTHERS WILL TELL YOU @Her not wearing shoes, and . . . . She is no doubt an old soul living in a beautiful, Amazingly talented young lady. You cant go wrong with any of her large colletion of music. So buckle up and Enjoy. Will be watching your reactions, she still suprises me with every new song.
When she won Norway's got talent at 7 years old one of the judges said the first time she heard her sing "she sounds like she has been drinking whiskey all her life".
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. 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. 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!
I just love reading all the comments when someone new discovers Angelina, always so warming. All I can add is that in 50 years of loving music daily and working in the music industry, I have never heard anything as deep and soul-touching as this incredible young lady. A real inspiration away from music as well. Enjoy the journey and I promise I will watch all the ones you do as I enjoyed your reaction so much.
Angelina has so many tools at her disposal even at this young age. She can belt, she can sing in a breathy tone, use vocal fry, has great breath control, amazing vibrato, incredible runs but only uses what is necessary for the particular song, never to show off. There is so much warmth and texture in her voice as good if not better than anyone out there right now. As most artists do, she started with covers, especially since her first public appearance was at 7 years old on Norways Got Talent. However she has been writing songs since she was 10 and has said she’s written over 100. 12 have been released to date with one more debuted at her recent Las Vegas concerts.
The music starts and the old souls appear, then at the end the pensive young girl appears again. She is singing this in the style of that guy you mentioned, Screaming Jay Hawkins who was the original singer of this song.
❤ She’s not done this song that way after Lauren. Someone probably had the same concern you have. Probably best to start from the NGT performance at age 7 “Gloomy Sunday “ Welcome to the AJ rabbit hole 🤗 the “angels” will guide you on the way. ❤❤
Lauren thanks for the beautiful and careful reaction, this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤
When Angelina was a little girl she would set her dolls out as an audience and sing to them. If it's up to Angelina, you won't get blocked, but watch out for the stuff that AGT owns, like Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodby Yellow Brick Road. It's inconsistent, sometimes it's okay, sometimes not. For up to date Angelina try Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony (in Oslo, her home town. Nice!) For baby Angelina try Fly Me to the Moon on The View when she was 8. Two years ago, at 16 she was reliably reported as being 5' 10" tall, but she seems to have grown some since then. Current estimate is 6' 1", the insane growth spurt was when she was 11. Lots of performances, the girl is at home on stage, and you could chart her growing up just with Fly Me to the Moon, there are dozens of renditions of it from music videos (done by her Grandmother) to Angelina singing into her cell phone in a parking garage. I recommend this video of 16 year old Angie singing her own version of Suspicious Minds as a tribute to Elvis (Angelina in an Elvis tee shirt at Coachella) The video is crammed with Elvis references, plus Angelina's two baby cousins and her sister Juliette! (see the Tik Tok of, "Juliette try's goat cheese for the first time". Good stuff) Here's the link to Suspicious Minds, but really you can't go wrong with this girl. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html And while you're in Norway look up Aurora Aksnes. American's might not know her that much, but internationally she is one of the biggest singing stars on the planet. Far bigger than Taylor Swift, for example. She's also a little forest fairy ...
I have seen her live three times and she is even better than her recordings. You mentioned she is “angry” in your video, but in real life, she is the epitome of sweetness. The music business has know about AJ since her audition on Norway’s Got Talent when she was 7. Her performance of Summertime in the finals was extraordinary as she gets into the emotion of the song. She has performed for world leaders, presidents, Norah Jones, Quincy Jones, Gene Simmons, David Foster, Steven Spielberg and many others in her short career. She is by far my favorite artist and as a professional musician of over 50 years, I have never seen anyone like her. Enjoy.
Hi Lauren. I'm Danilo an Angel from Rome Italy. I just bumped into you by sheer chance. I gathered, reading the comments, that my fellow Angels already filled you in about Her. Didn't know you but I liked your observations about Her. Now I'm a sub of yours but only for Her. In my defence I can only say that dozens and dozens of reactors I've watched have publicly given the credit of the growth of their channel to Angelina. By the way, no fear for Angelina's voice state of healt. Not only is just fine it's inproved. I guarantee for it. I saw Her live in Kongsberg Norway 2 years ago. The day of my life. She's beeing honeying it since she was 18mo. Video to prove it. A lot of homework to do girl. 👍👏❤️👋
This is HER musical arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1955 hit. Studio musicians call her 'the Boss' because she knows what she wants and how to get it. She is a musical prodigy and her covers of other artists always give respect to the original but you can tell it has the Angelina touch. Her grandmother, who is seen at the beginning where Angelina is showing a candle w/ SJH's face, introduced her to jazz and she loves Billy Holiday and songs that predate most of us. When she signed with Republic Records, she got complete artistic control. She has performed for Obama and the Nobel Prize Committee and for Royalty, Michael Jackson's producer, Quincy Jones said she is the greatest talent since MJ and she sang at his birthday celebration at O2 performance hall in London. She covers all genres but jazz seems to be her favorite.
Great reaction. Thank you. I guess we might keep on suggesting Angelina performances for you in years to come 🥰 👣As we love her. We totaly respect her and adore her. She has revitalised the life with music for quite a few of us, I dear say. At this time I would realy suggest one of her originals from her 2023 EP "Now I`m the Fool". It picks up some of her attitude and rawnes, I think, from "I Put a Spell on You". Her total artwork of a performance of "Unchained Melody" from desember last year, is another one. Performed honoring the 2023 peace prize loriet, the iranien womens right activist, Narges Mohammadi, who was imprisoned for several years, and still has many years to serve. This performance is a MUST see. No doubt!!! 👣 🤗 I see others have given you the link for her MV of "Now I`m The Fool" This is for her piece prize performance th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to the party! You've got some catching up to do. Angelina has been singing her entire life, exploding into the world with her performances on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 years old. She's 18 years old now and just had her first concert in Las Vegas, singing to a packed house. Over the years there have been over 200 videos of performances from her home studio, television appearances, concert clips, and more recently her professional audio and video releases. Start with the earlier performances, or start with her more recent material, it doesn't matter. You will be amazed and you will be moved (often to tears). In December 2023, she performed for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies with a rendition of "Unchained Melody" that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. The other Angels will fill you in on her amazing background, her philanthropy, her family. Come on down the Angelina rabbit hole. It is a very happy place.
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole from a devoted Angel... that's what Angelina calls her fans . Compare it with the screaming Jay Hawkins original version❤❤❤❤❤
If you don't want to fall in love with a new artist you better run. This girl will absolutely steal your heart, and once you hear her journey you'll be even that much more enthralled with her. A beautiful girl, a beautiful soul, and perhaps the best vocalists alive today
Just subscribed. OK to jump ahead for curiosity but don't deprive yourself of her rise throughout her younger years. A TREMENOUS amount of mind blowing performances. I'm 79 and don't recall anyone as impressive as this insanely talented girl!
Welcome to the artistry of Angelina Jordan. Angelina doesn’t “cover” songs. She “uncovers” them, making them better than they were. She arranged “Spell”, and made it better. That was just the start! Enjoy the journey!
Good introduction to the phenomenal Angelina Jordan magical world of music. Every thing about this production is from her. Next one « It’s A Man World » at 12 in concert. She’s now 18 and one of the best female vocalist on the planet.
She kept from injuring her voice by never singing this song in the same way ever again. Every time she sang it live later on (for a few years afterwards), she pulled _way_ back on all the yelling and growling, but tried to keep the same basic vocal arrangement - which, if you ask me, didn't work *at all* , and made all her subsequent versions seem little better than any other covers of this song sung in anywhere near the same style. (This is a rare case where her original studio version was better than her subsequent live versions - usually it's the other way 'round.) But we can all be thankful that she "went this hard" at least until this recording was in the can, because I can honestly say, this is the best, "most convincing" cover of this song I've ever heard. And it's from a 9-year-old Norwegian girl. I _never_ would have thought that was possible before I discovered Angelina Jordan.
If you think Angelina’s performance was incredible wait till you see how many comments you get 😊. Great reaction and Angelina is simply incredible. Buckle up
Dear Lauren, Angelina is practicing every (almost) day for hours since age 3,5. She listened to the original of composer Mr. Hawkins (candle light) and modernised it. She arranges her songs since the age of 7. My friends and co-commenters will tell you a lot about her. You might find her to be VERY interesting. Her mind is at least 20 years older than her body. Here in Germany we call kids like her "highly gifted" meaning Genius. I should know, I met such kids myself. You my Dear, be safe and sound. Elmar from Germany
Angelina is full of surprises. She puts her own stamp on everything she sings. She speaks several languages and is the youngest published author in Norway's history, having published her book Between Two Hearts the same year this came out. Great reaction! You should check out her original song Now I'm The Fool, which came out last year. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/w-d-xo.html
Angelina jordan is the new music queen, nobody can do what this angel is doing, ever. Soon , she is in every heart 👑❤️🌹💫....angelina is singing jazz since she is 3 years old...billie holliday...she had ca. 150 re-covers from the best songs....she is unique and can sing any genre, unbelievebel 😊
Angelina is a talented Norwegian singer, from the young age of 18 months she was captivated by music, especially jazz. there are several autobiographical videos of her childhood development. From Norway Talent 2014, when she basically started her professional career. she is known primarily for her arrangements / musical, lyrical, stylistic / for her performances. She is our "Barefoot Princess with a Thousand Voices" - she does not avoid any genre and has been writing her own lyrics and compositions since the age of 12 - she plays piano, guitar, flute and violin. After NGT 2014, she performed all over the world, concerts from 2015 to 2018, singing also in Japanese. after Am GT 2020, she has already noticeably improved her skills and is now starting to be recognized as a global celebrity. Despite all the popularity, she maintains respect and humility for everything that helped her build her career. That's why he has so many fans all over the world. Georg - Czech Rep
How many 9 yr old girls can book a studio with a full band of seasoned professionals. Angelina just dropped her 1st EP this past year with Republic Records who she signed with at age 14. 6 songs, all originals. Do my favorite off the EP and hear how beautiful & Jazzy her voice is now - 'Now I'm The Fool' (Official Video). th-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NTGntnAskHhLe5FZ Just saw her in Vegas in her 1st Vegas show on the same stage Elvis sang on. Fabulous! Fire! 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
Being able to emote is the basis of her artistry. If you notice she performs the song, and she makes you believe she is actually putting a spell on you. You can’t teach that! You might as well just jump to her own biographical video of her 10 years in the music industry, that’ll get you up to speed!
You should hear her singing It's a Mans World at about age eleven or twelve with a full military band in an outdoor concert, she blows the roof off the pagoda, it leaves you shocked, sweet young barefoot girl powers her voice right into your soul, amazing, regards from Mark in Australia. Even if you don't react to it check it out for yourself
Just FYI, the date of the video (Sept 2016) is the TH-cam posting date however the performance was actually recorded about a year and a half earlier when Angelina was 9. A couple of notes if you decide to check out Back To Black. Angelina was 10 at the time of the recording. She also wrote new lyrics for the song in one day as the original lyrics were not appropriate for a 10 year old. She mentions this in the description of the video. She also revised the lyrics to Rehab which she performed in concert.
Thank you for discovering Angelina Jordan. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on TH-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below, (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. (k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying. (l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella! Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
She started singing at one and a half years old and she started with jazz, and English is not her native language, her first studio recording was at six years old, and she plays about four musical instruments and writes music, and she wrote a book about why she sings barefoot, and stills sings barefoot, she won Norway got talent at 7-8 years old and she had a birthday during it, watch it with Englishsub titles, and the whole videos ,, she was on American got talent at 13 years old,, and also ( wrapped in a warm blanket) has a Documentary about her first years singing, Shows her singing at 1 and a 1/2 years old, A Whitney Houston song, and you will see her sing it,, up to 13 years old,, She's done hundreds of covers she changes them a bit,, Awesome reaction!! love to watch you do her youngest age songs first!! , She moved to America in the middle teenage years, And is now 18 years old her birthday is January 10th, When you watch any of her videos, watch from the very beginning to the very end, there's always something you'll learn about her, If you cut to just the music, all the questions you have, you'll miss the answers that you get at the beginning of the videos,, At 8 years old she sang on the "View" and watch the beginning of the interview, she'll tell you how old she was when she started singing, and you'll hear her sing , "fly me to the moon", she has beautiful brown eyes and when she moved to California she started wearing blue contacts which is also beautiful,, Awesome!! Please do more, enjoy!!

Good guess! She was 9 y-o (& 2 months) when this was recorded. Angelina was born in Oslo, Norway on Jan 10, 2006, so now she's 18. There are about 200 covers by Angelina on YT. This version is the closest to the original crazy version by Screaming Jay Hawkins (picture on the candle). Go watch it PLS. Angelina rearranged the song to suit her voice and her take on the song. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 and sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" on AGT (A Must reaction for this iconic rendition). Angelina is well known for being unpredictable when she starts singing. You never can guess what voice is going to come out of her mouth. That's why they call her "The Queen of Jazz with a Thousand Voices". More Angelina PLS.
AJ is 18 now with over 200 covers and originals out there on YT and elsewhere. Be prepared to be blown away.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of the girl with a thousand voices. Angelina is 18 now and her performances won't disappoint.

Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan Lauren....you are now amongst the several thousand reactors who have discovered this remarkable young music genius. We fans "Angels" as she refers to us are several million strong and love to welcome new reactors into our family. Hope you shall continue this glorious journey with us.. Cheers. ❤❤
Angelina Jordan Astar, born on January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway, showed a passion for singing at an incredibly young age. At just one and a half years old, she sang in her crib, inspired by Whitney Houston's performances on TH-cam, and by the age of three, she was already listening to jazz and classic legends on her iPad. While her grandmother, artist and poet Mery Zamani, was the greatest influence of her early musical tastes, it was Angelina who ultimately decided to pursue a career in music, with great support from her family.
At the age of six and seven, Angelina had her very first studio performances, singing "Rolling in the Deep" and "I Who Have Nothing." However, it was at the age of eight that she gained viral fame by winning Norway's Got Talent. Singing old-time classics from artists like Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, she became one of the youngest vocalists ever to win an international Got Talent show. Her rendition of Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" at the age of nine is considered one of the best performances by a vocalist of that age. She is truly a prodigy.
By the time Angelina was eleven, she recorded her album "It's Magic," which consistently charted as one of the top 10 best-selling jazz albums. With over 130 covers of songs from 80 different artists by the age of 13, and over 200 to date, Angelina always adds her unique touch to each rendition. Here is a semi-chronological TH-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu
In 2019 and 2020, at the ages of thirteen and fourteen, Angelina once again gained viral attention on America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her unique versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" impressed not only Simon Cowell but also earned her the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. The surviving members of Queen also praised her performance. Perhaps most astonishingly, Angelina sings in English, her third language.
During her earlier years, and especially after her America's Got Talent performances, multiple record company executives took notice of Angelina's talent. However, her family declined their offers, prioritizing her education and a normal childhood. It wasn't until she turned fourteen that a contract was signed with Republic Records, marking the start of her career. Between the ages of eleven and twelve, Angelina even composed her first three original songs: "What is Life," "Oslo," and "Shield." In November 2020, at the age of fourteen, she released the song "Million Miles" as a tribute to her late maternal grandfather. This marked her first release under Republic Records, and a year later she followed it up with her jazzy and upbeat single, "7th Heaven."
Why does Angelina perform barefoot? It all stems from a promise she made to herself at the age of six. While traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, they encountered a young orphan girl who had no shoes and had scarred feet. This girl weighed people with scales to earn money. Angelina gave her own favorite shoes to the girl, and when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the girl said she wanted to be a doctor but couldn't because she had to take care of her siblings. When Angelina was asked the same question, she said she wanted to sing for the world. The young girl promised to pray for Angelina. Since that day, Angelina has performed barefoot as a reminder of those less fortunate. At the age of nine, she even wrote a book about this experience titled "Between Two Hearts," becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway.
Aside from her music, Angelina is known for her charitable nature. She has helped raise millions for children and environmental causes, mostly from performances at fundraising events. At the age of eight, she even pledged to donate her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children in need. She has performed for heads of state in various countries to raise money for charity and during the pandemic, she was seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. Throughout her career, she has continued to prioritize helping those in need.
Now that Angelina has recently turned eighteen, her activities with Republic Records have multiplied. She released her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" on May 5th, 2023, followed by her EP "Old Enough" in July, featuring five new original tracks. Her song "Our Time" has been featured in a commercial by SoFi, a finance company, and is played regularly at Sodi Stadium. Additionally, it has been heard on various radio stations.
Angelina's performances have taken her to numerous high-profile events. In December 2022, she performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles, and in February 2023, she performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, reaching an audience in the millions. She was also invited on Germany's Next Top Model in 2023 by Heidi Klum.
On November 25, 2023, Angelina had the honor of attending Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. Additionally, she was invited to perform at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, on December 11, 2023. Narges is an activist for women's rights who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran. This performance held great significance for Angelina and her family, as her grandmother Mery Zamani grew up in Iran. They hope that Angelina's performance, combined with Narges' story, will inspire change and raise awareness of her mission.
Most recently, Angelina performed two shows in Las Vegas on the same stage that Elvis Presley graced for many years. Her new song, Princess of Ruins, is a tribute to the young girl Angelina gave her shoes to when she was 6 years old. This should be Angelina's anthem.
Angelina's humble and compassionate nature is what makes her so special, in addition to her music. Since childhood, her goal has been to sing for the world and spread love and peace, and she is well on her way to achieving that. Peace and love.

If u continue ur journey down this rabbit hole, just expect the unexpected 😉 us Angel's (her fan base ) have many names for her Barefoot Princess & Girl with the 100 voices, u soon find out why 😊 Have a good one take care and stay safe greetings From Norway 😊
Actually, there is a video of her at 1 1/2 singing a whitney houston song. She was born to sing. Prepare yourself to be bombarded by angels which is her name for her fans, we are many and passionate lol. She has about 250 covers and originals all of which are exceptional. Its a deep rabbit hole but we are here for it.
I’m so happy for you! Even though you’re about 20 years behind on Angelina’s journey, you can catch up.
I enjoy many singers and most styles of music (except jansta rap). Angelina can do it all. I look forward to many more reactions of her music and I would suggest her most beautiful rendition of Unchained Melody that she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize this past December. It is one of her most outstanding performances.
Phone screen is cracked so typing gets changed. 10 years behind….
You are about to be inundated by "Angels"! This woman has a devoted fan base!
At this point, Angelina was already a well known artist in Norway and she was already 3 years into her recording career...great reaction Lauren...if I were to suggest a song for you from 'nowish', I'd have to choose a song called 'All My Fault' from her mid-2023 EP release, Old Enough....seriously good!
That little girl is now 18 years old (2024) and 6 feet tall - she just performed her first headline concert in Las Vegas on Feb 29th, 2024 and I had the opportunity to attend and she was amazing.
Yes... no longer tiny! Those BIG lungs foretold this 6-ft majesty.
She was singing the Screaming J Hawkins version with some of her own embellishments
After 200 or so different songs I’ve heard her sing, I still smile after every performance.
Welcome to the greatest Journey! The Angelina Jordan Journey. You can't just check out one more from the future of music. Not when she has 12 years of pure soul entrenched hynoptically mesmerizing music! 200+ songs! And just getting started!🎉🎉🎉
She is a musical genius and is 18 now she just finished a 2 show concert in Vagas ,she has a huge fan base that's all over the world she has been on the stage performing for over 10 years
"Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" Yes, this was a great introduction to a 9 year old phenom. And, as the expression goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" She was singing lines from a Whitney Houston song in bed with a microphone at1 and 1/2 years old! The video is on you tube! Obviously this particular video is super unique and stands alone. But, when you join our family on her musical journey the reaction you get will change dramatically and her soulful voice will float streams of love into your heart. You will see what I mean. I could go on for hours but I will let Angelina take it from here.
I know you're anxious to see her more recently so how about this: Angelina at 17 years old (she turned 18 on Jan10th) singing her version of 'Unchained Melody' at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony in Oslo, Norway. The woman being honored currently is in prison in Iran. The charge? For speaking out about the rights of women. Her two children accepted the award in behalf of their mother. They were in attendance at the Ceremony and were sitting right on front of Angelina when she performed. A very emotional moment. THEN, you can skip back to when she was younger. How good was she when she was younger? Well, most of us who have been part of her extended family for many years often play songs from when she was10, 12, 13, etc., years old and not because the music is 'cute'. Her music is, well, you'll find out. I know, I'm teasing you, but I am so happy for you that you have discovered her. Now that she's turned 18 the wraps are coming off and a world tour is not too far off. Sooner than later, everyone in the world will know who Angelina Jordan is. And we will be so happy for them.
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s World, the Worlds next Mega Superstar after my opinion 👍
Her bare feet have a purpose. Age 6 she met a poor girl almost same age as her (maybe 1 year older). They spoke about their dreams. The poor girl wanted to be a doctor. Angelina said do not give up on your dreams. She said she wanted to be a superstar and sing to the whole world. She gave away her favorite shoes to her and the poor girl said she wanted to pray for Angelina.
Recently she gave out an original song about it recently at her 29.02 concert at Westgate Las Vegas this year. It is called "Princess of ruins" and she told bare feet is part of her identity, so she will continue to do that until all children in the world have shoes. Best videos from this concerts (2 in same night) are from Big Angie fan or James Thiel who both recorded it from front rows. Good quality sound and video. Great reaction and i hope for more reactions from Angelina. Pick any song and you will be positively surprised every time. Love from Norway!
I think the best videos from Las Vegas is taken of Merrilee Gaines.
Thank you Lauren for your reaction to our old soul AJ , first heard singing a line from a Whitney song at 18 months there is a video., teaching herself to sing ,from 3 yrs old scouring TH-cam for all the jazz greats ( her Granma Mery an Iranian renown artist and poet played jazz around the house) but the choices are all Angelina you might want to go back before you go forward to see where the legend began at 7yrs old her audition on Norway's got Talent "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday our mini jazz queen went viral.. and went on to win the show at 8 yrs old , there has never been an Angelina before . Her angels adore her (fans) of all ages.💜👣💎
Howdee! No matter how much you drink, it's not going to be enough...Angelina is a gifted powerhouse. She is 9 but debuted on Norway's Got Talent at age 7...okay, take a sip! She WON the competition and elected to donate the entire cash prize to children's charity...okay, take another sip! At 9yrs old, became the youngest published female for Norway, (another sip of your drink) her book is the story of why she performs barefooted...(At 18 yrs old, she keeps that promise she made). She just did her FIRST gig in Vegas a few weeks ago. If you want a quick view of her "history" her mom produced a mini film documentary...you get a view of her family, (to which she refers as her "Shield"), it's titled "Angelina Jordan 10 Years in the Making." I pretty sure we'll see you on the flipside, so thnx for the entertaining reaction and, FYI, I've seen plenty of reactors who partake in a drink or two...and Kleenex...ultimately many of her renditions of her renditions will bring tears..lots of tears. A crazy, wonderful musical adventure and whirlwind ride. PEACE!!
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 11 songs from age 7 to 17 (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.
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", and her even more recently released Christmas EP: th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
She cites Billy 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.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from this musical prodigy, At 9 years old Angelina actually arranged this rendition herself, Angelina is paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins who was a blues musician from the 1950s, Angelina is commanding the performance she is the boss, Angelina has a beautiful unique silvery vibrato,she won Norway 🇳🇴 Got Talent at 8 years old, and signed with Republic Records at 14 years old, Angelina has a huge army of dedicated fans and her fans are known as Angels, Angelina takes a classic song and still pays tribute to the original but makes the song her own,with Angelina it’s not about herself it’s always about the song that’s why this musical genius is so special,Angelina has around 200 upgrades of covers and 14 original songs,Angelina is known as the barefoot Queen of jazz and soul with a thousand different styles and voices, great reaction thanks 🙏
Hi Lauren, that cry in the voice they Vocal Fry. She turns it on and off as needed. Masterful
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Much enjoyed your reaction and comments. It's a journey well worth taking with Angelina.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. You just met the Empress of JAZZ!!!
Enjoy the trip you have a long fun journey ahead of you! Oh and you are now an Angelina "Angel".😊
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent in 2014. I would suggest listening to her performances on that competition.
Hope you join her global fan base and help promote all her newer work. At 18 she has 10 years of amazing music in her catalog but is still relatively unknown. Count on this: she will always surprise you; she will never disappoint.

Hi Lauren, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song, she arranged everything herself based on the original by Screaming J.

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.
Has anyone followed the little girl to whom angelina jordan gave her shoes when she was about six years old?
👣👣👣
Here's one from her all original EP, OLD ENOUGH. Although this is one of the songs that exist only in the visualizer format, her voice and lyrics make up for that absence. The song I'm recommending is called DIAMOND, and all I can say is wow! Don't get me wrong, all 6 of her songs are amazing. There are currently only two full music videos to accompany the EP with LOVE DON'T LET ME GO, and NOW I'M THE FOOL. As a side note, this EP depicts her transition to her full-time music career at the age of 17 after her graduation from high school (she turned 18 on 10 January, 2024). After winning Norway's Got Talent at age 8, her parents decided that Angelina would fully enjoy her childhood. They knew all too well how the music industry might take that away from her.
Does this mean she reverted to being a wall-flower. Certainly not! She's made over 200 covers (the earliest video we possess of her at age 6), has been on many stages around the world, has interacted with many world dignitaries (i.e., Barack Obama), iconic people from the music industry (i.e., Quincy Jones), and has performed twice for the Nobel Peace Prize recipients at ages 8 and 17. She signed with Republic Records at the age of 14, following her appearance on America's Got Talent, The Champions edition in 2020. Departing from full control over her career and performances, Angelina was given both full artistic control and the decision over all production or performances. Graduating at 17 years old, in 2023, Angelina passed the final hurdle her parents wanted for her. Thus, she declared to the world that she was OLD ENOUGH. She now lives in LA with her mother, Sara, her little sister, Juliette (12), and her love and mentor, Grandma Mery Zamani. Norway still considers her as one of its national treasures. Angelina has been engaged in bringing attention to child welfare issues and fund raisers.
Most recently, she released a wonderful documentary, chronicling her life from 8 to 18. The documentary was crafted leading up to her second concert in the US, the most recent one held in Las Vegas. It includes snippets from her at 18 months old singing a Whitney Houston song and her her audition at 7 years old on Norway's Got Talent. There aren't a lot of spoilers in the background music, but if you prefer going into all of her material completely blind, we understand you not reacting to the documentary.

👣👣👣
Great reaction!, Although she did not damage her voice during this performance, she has never sang it quite like this again. Likely having been advised to protect her voice. Really looking forward to seeing more Angelina with you!
Oh welcome my friend to the world of Angelina Jordan. A child, prodigy and musical genius for sure. This beautiful young child has been singing since the age of 1 and 1/2 in the crib and now our 18 is becoming a global superstar for sure. Angelina was only 9 years old in this video and for your information she did what n Norway's. Got Talent at the age of eight. Has sung for audiences all over the world raising money for children's charities. She just recently sang "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace prize event in Oslo Norway in December. And also just recently played the Westgate theater in Las Vegas in February ! As you will find, she has a huge number of fans called Angels and they know Angelina as the barefoot princess because she always performs barefoot. She also is the queen of jazz and the girl with a thousand voices. Angelina from a very young age has jazz infused in her DNA through her mother grandmother Mery with mentors like Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra with modern mentors like Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Nora Jones and the great Elvis Presley. You have only 250 covers and originals to go. my friend and I guarantee every single one of them will make you want to hear more. The reason that Angelina is loved by everyone is that she is still a very humble, sincere, compassionate and loving soul. She has a very protective family as you will find out and a tremendously protective fan base. She signed with Republic Records a few years ago and they built her own recording studio to develop her talents and she is doing that as we speak now. She is their most coveted young artist and will be brought on to the world stage in the coming years for sure. I want to thank you for starting your journey with Angelina, Jordan and I hope you enjoy so many many more videos of her fabulous music. Sending you , much thanks and love from Canada always 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the reaction. She's my favorite artist right now. Please do more. I can't get enough. 🙂
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/w-d-xo.html
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
You have just been introduced to one of the most incredible human beings amongst us. Angelina is not only gifted but her heart is pure gold. She’s simply incredible, my inspiration to always do better and treat people with love. Thank you for listening, there’s so much more to hear. I’m sure others will tell you more.
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan a a ypoun legend. now living in LA, Angelina Jordan (curent 18 Yeats 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. Sung 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 ... Young listeners will be reached when angelina wants it. She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, her family, and herself, she actually sets the pace herself to total fame within 2/3 years I guess. 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 at the age of just turned 18!!!! 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!

Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (now 18 y old) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.
The best young, female artist IMO ❤ This is a prodigy and she is extremely talented. Her vocal tools are many and her tone is very beautiful.
This is the best Artist you never heard of , now you have ENJOY , take a jump down the rabbit hole and us ANGELS will catch you and give you a tour of fantastic music that will give you the biggest feels
The Rabbit hole has become a CRATER!
Subscribed and waiting for more Angelina. Here she is 9 years old and this is her arrangement of the song. You've stepped into a very large and deep rabbit hole here. At this point she is already a seasoned performer since she started at the age of seven when she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. Actually she started singing at the age of 1-1/2, but NGT was her first public gig where she went viral on TH-cam almost instantly. She calls her fans "her angels" and they will be here in droves to fill you in. Peace and Love.
WELCOME YES NOT ONLY IS SHE AN AMAZING SINGER BUT AN AMAZING PERSON. . IM SURE OTHERS WILL TELL YOU @Her not wearing shoes, and . . . . She is no doubt an old soul living in a beautiful, Amazingly talented young lady. You cant go wrong with any of her large colletion of music. So buckle up and Enjoy. Will be watching your reactions, she still suprises me with every new song.
Yes, please do more. I would start with her I Who Have Nothing video from age 6. And then, just tumble on down this rabbit hole with us.
When she won Norway's got talent at 7 years old one of the judges said the first time she heard her sing "she sounds like she has been drinking whiskey all her life".
Won NGT at age 8.
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. 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.
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!
I just love reading all the comments when someone new discovers Angelina, always so warming. All I can add is that in 50 years of loving music daily and working in the music industry, I have never heard anything as deep and soul-touching as this incredible young lady. A real inspiration away from music as well. Enjoy the journey and I promise I will watch all the ones you do as I enjoyed your reaction so much.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you
Angelina has so many tools at her disposal even at this young age. She can belt, she can sing in a breathy tone, use vocal fry, has great breath control, amazing vibrato, incredible runs but only uses what is necessary for the particular song, never to show off. There is so much warmth and texture in her voice as good if not better than anyone out there right now.
As most artists do, she started with covers, especially since her first public appearance was at 7 years old on Norways Got Talent. However she has been writing songs since she was 10 and has said she’s written over 100. 12 have been released to date with one more debuted at her recent Las Vegas concerts.
The music starts and the old souls appear, then at the end the pensive young girl appears again. She is singing this in the style of that guy you mentioned, Screaming Jay Hawkins who was the original singer of this song.
Have a nice AJ journey!
❤
She’s not done this song that way after Lauren. Someone probably had the same concern you have.
Probably best to start from the NGT performance at age 7 “Gloomy Sunday “
Welcome to the AJ rabbit hole 🤗 the “angels” will guide you on the way. ❤❤
Lauren thanks for the beautiful and careful reaction, this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤
When Angelina was a little girl she would set her dolls out as an audience and sing to them. If it's up to Angelina, you won't get blocked, but watch out for the stuff that AGT owns, like Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodby Yellow Brick Road. It's inconsistent, sometimes it's okay, sometimes not. For up to date Angelina try Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony (in Oslo, her home town. Nice!) For baby Angelina try Fly Me to the Moon on The View when she was 8. Two years ago, at 16 she was reliably reported as being 5' 10" tall, but she seems to have grown some since then. Current estimate is 6' 1", the insane growth spurt was when she was 11. Lots of performances, the girl is at home on stage, and you could chart her growing up just with Fly Me to the Moon, there are dozens of renditions of it from music videos (done by her Grandmother) to Angelina singing into her cell phone in a parking garage. I recommend this video of 16 year old Angie singing her own version of Suspicious Minds as a tribute to Elvis (Angelina in an Elvis tee shirt at Coachella) The video is crammed with Elvis references, plus Angelina's two baby cousins and her sister Juliette! (see the Tik Tok of, "Juliette try's goat cheese for the first time". Good stuff) Here's the link to Suspicious Minds, but really you can't go wrong with this girl. th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html And while you're in Norway look up Aurora Aksnes. American's might not know her that much, but internationally she is one of the biggest singing stars on the planet. Far bigger than Taylor Swift, for example. She's also a little forest fairy ...
I have seen her live three times and she is even better than her recordings. You mentioned she is “angry” in your video, but in real life, she is the epitome of sweetness. The music business has know about AJ since her audition on Norway’s Got Talent when she was 7. Her performance of Summertime in the finals was extraordinary as she gets into the emotion of the song. She has performed for world leaders, presidents, Norah Jones, Quincy Jones, Gene Simmons, David Foster, Steven Spielberg and many others in her short career. She is by far my favorite artist and as a professional musician of over 50 years, I have never seen anyone like her. Enjoy.
Finally!!! Thank you for this reaction.
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of 🎷azz music who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason, enjoy...👑🗣🎙
Hi Lauren. I'm Danilo an Angel from Rome Italy. I just bumped into you by sheer chance. I gathered, reading the comments, that my fellow Angels already filled you in about Her. Didn't know you but I liked your observations about Her. Now I'm a sub of yours but only for Her. In my defence I can only say that dozens and dozens of reactors I've watched have publicly given the credit of the growth of their channel to Angelina. By the way, no fear for Angelina's voice state of healt. Not only is just fine it's inproved. I guarantee for it. I saw Her live in Kongsberg Norway 2 years ago. The day of my life. She's beeing honeying it since she was 18mo. Video to prove it. A lot of homework to do girl. 👍👏❤️👋
This is HER musical arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1955 hit. Studio musicians call her 'the Boss' because she knows what she wants and how to get it. She is a musical prodigy and her covers of other artists always give respect to the original but you can tell it has the Angelina touch. Her grandmother, who is seen at the beginning where Angelina is showing a candle w/ SJH's face, introduced her to jazz and she loves Billy Holiday and songs that predate most of us. When she signed with Republic Records, she got complete artistic control. She has performed for Obama and the Nobel Prize Committee and for Royalty, Michael Jackson's producer, Quincy Jones said she is the greatest talent since MJ and she sang at his birthday celebration at O2 performance hall in London. She covers all genres but jazz seems to be her favorite.
Angelina is one of the best singers you'll ever hear.
Great reaction. Thank you. I guess we might keep on suggesting Angelina performances for you in years to come 🥰
👣As we love her. We totaly respect her and adore her. She has revitalised the life with music for quite a few of us, I dear say.
At this time I would realy suggest one of her originals from her 2023 EP "Now I`m the Fool". It picks up some of her attitude and rawnes, I think, from "I Put a Spell on You".
Her total artwork of a performance of "Unchained Melody" from desember last year, is another one. Performed honoring the 2023 peace prize loriet, the iranien womens right activist,
Narges Mohammadi, who was imprisoned for several years, and still has many years to serve. This performance is a MUST see. No doubt!!! 👣 🤗
I see others have given you the link for her MV of "Now I`m The Fool"
This is for her piece prize performance th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to the party! You've got some catching up to do. Angelina has been singing her entire life, exploding into the world with her performances on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 years old. She's 18 years old now and just had her first concert in Las Vegas, singing to a packed house. Over the years there have been over 200 videos of performances from her home studio, television appearances, concert clips, and more recently her professional audio and video releases. Start with the earlier performances, or start with her more recent material, it doesn't matter. You will be amazed and you will be moved (often to tears). In December 2023, she performed for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies with a rendition of "Unchained Melody" that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. The other Angels will fill you in on her amazing background, her philanthropy, her family. Come on down the Angelina rabbit hole. It is a very happy place.
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole from a devoted Angel... that's what Angelina calls her fans . Compare it with the screaming Jay Hawkins original version❤❤❤❤❤
If you don't want to fall in love with a new artist you better run. This girl will absolutely steal your heart, and once you hear her journey you'll be even that much more enthralled with her. A beautiful girl, a beautiful soul, and perhaps the best vocalists alive today
Very true words...¡¡¡
Just subscribed. OK to jump ahead for curiosity but don't deprive yourself of her rise throughout her younger years. A TREMENOUS amount of mind blowing performances. I'm 79 and don't recall anyone as impressive as this insanely talented girl!
Welcome to the artistry of Angelina Jordan. Angelina doesn’t “cover” songs. She “uncovers” them, making them better than they were. She arranged “Spell”, and made it better. That was just the start! Enjoy the journey!
Good introduction to the phenomenal Angelina Jordan magical world of music. Every thing about this production is from her. Next one « It’s A Man World » at 12 in concert. She’s now 18 and one of the best female vocalist on the planet.
She kept from injuring her voice by never singing this song in the same way ever again. Every time she sang it live later on (for a few years afterwards), she pulled _way_ back on all the yelling and growling, but tried to keep the same basic vocal arrangement - which, if you ask me, didn't work *at all* , and made all her subsequent versions seem little better than any other covers of this song sung in anywhere near the same style. (This is a rare case where her original studio version was better than her subsequent live versions - usually it's the other way 'round.) But we can all be thankful that she "went this hard" at least until this recording was in the can, because I can honestly say, this is the best, "most convincing" cover of this song I've ever heard. And it's from a 9-year-old Norwegian girl. I _never_ would have thought that was possible before I discovered Angelina Jordan.
If you think Angelina’s performance was incredible wait till you see how many comments you get 😊. Great reaction and Angelina is simply incredible. Buckle up
Dear Lauren, Angelina is practicing every (almost) day for hours since age 3,5. She listened to the original of composer Mr. Hawkins (candle light) and modernised it. She arranges her songs since the age of 7. My friends and co-commenters will tell you a lot about her. You might find her to be VERY interesting. Her mind is at least 20 years older than her body. Here in Germany we call kids like her "highly gifted" meaning Genius. I should know, I met such kids myself.
You my Dear, be safe and sound.

Angelina is full of surprises. She puts her own stamp on everything she sings. She speaks several languages and is the youngest published author in Norway's history, having published her book Between Two Hearts the same year this came out. Great reaction! You should check out her original song Now I'm The Fool, which came out last year. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/w-d-xo.html
Oh and thank you Lauren, your reactions are honest, direct and insightful, really great XX

Hello from Norway. I gave you a sub, I want to follow you on your Angelina Jordan-journey. It will be fun!
I love new reactions to Angelina. She is a prodigy and genius. Angelina has zero bad performances. I believe the best female voice I've ever heard.
Angelina is a talented Norwegian singer, from the young age of 18 months she was captivated by music, especially jazz. there are several autobiographical videos of her childhood development. From Norway Talent 2014, when she basically started her professional career. she is known primarily for her arrangements / musical, lyrical, stylistic / for her performances. She is our "Barefoot Princess with a Thousand Voices" - she does not avoid any genre and has been writing her own lyrics and compositions since the age of 12 - she plays piano, guitar, flute and violin. After NGT 2014, she performed all over the world, concerts from 2015 to 2018, singing also in Japanese.
after Am GT 2020, she has already noticeably improved her skills and is now starting to be recognized as a global celebrity. Despite all the popularity, she maintains respect and humility for everything that helped her build her career. That's why he has so many fans all over the world.

How many 9 yr old girls can book a studio with a full band of seasoned professionals. Angelina just dropped her 1st EP this past year with Republic Records who she signed with at age 14. 6 songs, all originals. Do my favorite off the EP and hear how beautiful & Jazzy her voice is now - 'Now I'm The Fool' (Official Video). th-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NTGntnAskHhLe5FZ Just saw her in Vegas in her 1st Vegas show on the same stage Elvis sang on. Fabulous! Fire! 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
Being able to emote is the basis of her artistry. If you notice she performs the song, and she makes you believe she is actually putting a spell on you. You can’t teach that!
You might as well just jump to her own biographical video of her 10 years in the music industry, that’ll get you up to speed!
Its 4/22/24 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯
You should hear her singing It's a Mans World at about age eleven or twelve with a full military band in an outdoor concert, she blows the roof off the pagoda, it leaves you shocked, sweet young barefoot girl powers her voice right into your soul, amazing, regards from Mark in Australia. Even if you don't react to it check it out for yourself
Smile or tears, with Angie everything is happiness..
The best vocalist on earth today, a fantastic artist and so good person...Angie the well named.
Angelina is simply the greatest talent on the planet. Found her on 2015, and she is humble, and charitable.
Enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you.
Just FYI, the date of the video (Sept 2016) is the TH-cam posting date however the performance was actually recorded about a year and a half earlier when Angelina was 9.
A couple of notes if you decide to check out Back To Black. Angelina was 10 at the time of the recording. She also wrote new lyrics for the song in one day as the original lyrics were not appropriate for a 10 year old. She mentions this in the description of the video. She also revised the lyrics to Rehab which she performed in concert.
Thank you for discovering Angelina Jordan. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on TH-cam, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below,
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted.
(g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song.
(h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time.
(i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word
(j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
(k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying.
(l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella!
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
She started singing at one and a half years old and she started with jazz, and English is not her native language, her first studio recording was at six years old, and she plays about four musical instruments and writes music, and she wrote a book about why she sings barefoot, and stills sings barefoot, she won Norway got talent at 7-8 years old and she had a birthday during it, watch it with Englishsub titles, and the whole videos ,, she was on American got talent at 13 years old,, and also ( wrapped in a warm blanket) has a Documentary about her first years singing, Shows her singing at 1 and a 1/2 years old, A Whitney Houston song, and you will see her sing it,, up to 13 years old,, She's done hundreds of covers she changes them a bit,, Awesome reaction!! love to watch you do her youngest age songs first!! , She moved to America in the middle teenage years, And is now 18 years old her birthday is January 10th, When you watch any of her videos, watch from the very beginning to the very end, there's always something you'll learn about her, If you cut to just the music, all the questions you have, you'll miss the answers that you get at the beginning of the videos,, At 8 years old she sang on the "View" and watch the beginning of the interview, she'll tell you how old she was when she started singing, and you'll hear her sing , "fly me to the moon", she has beautiful brown eyes and when she moved to California she started wearing blue contacts which is also beautiful,, Awesome!! Please do more, enjoy!!
