When she was 6 she met a homeless girl and she gave her her shoes and made a promise not to perform wearing shoes until all children had shoes! She is an old soul with a generous spirit! I believe the song was done by Nina Simone! Love her love this reaction!❤
I don't remember the whole story but this song is from and obscure musical. Nina Simone is the one that made it popular and it became an hymn to the anti-segregationist cause in the sixties.
I believe she wrote a children’s book about meeting the shoeless girl in the street. So she was publish author before she was 10. She all the proceeds to charity which provides clothing to poor children in different countries . That is who she is. She still performs in bare feet without shoes.
Edit:
Both her parents, her management (her uncle), and her fans have protected her childhood. Obviously, her family has the greatest impact on her having a childhood. She has been the one who driven singing career with help from her parents snd grandmother.
They have heard the story multiple times. They do this because they get more comments and I fall for it at once 🤣🤣🤣
@@kentovewagenes1141 40 year old nitwits.
Everyone leaves out that she said she wouldnt perform publicly with shoes on. She is wearing shoes in one of her videos where she met Quincy Jones who was a skeptic that she was really singing abd she has on these lavish kind of high tops and sings for Quincy completely shod. Go check it out I tell no lies not about stuff of so little consequence, anyway.
No officer I haven't been drinking
Angelina is called the barefoot princess for a very special reason. The story of her bare feet is one of unbelievable commitment and caring. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling in the middle east (her grandmother is Iranian), and she came across a young girl close to her age who was working in the street offering to weigh people with a bathroom scale for money. She had no shoes on her feet and her feet were cracked and in pretty bad shape. They talked for a while and then the little girl mentioned how nice she thought Angelina's shoes were. Angelina asked her if she had any shoes and she said no, so Angelina gave her the shoes off her feet. Angelina asked her what her dreams were and the little girl said she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told the little girl that she wanted to be a star and sing for the world. The little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day and asked Angelina to not forget about her. Angelina made a promise at that time that any time she sang in public she would sing barefoot to remember this little girl and bring awareness to the suffering of children around the world. To this day, over 11 years later, she has stayed true to that commitment. She remains a very grounded and humble young lady She has spent the past 11 years pouring out her soul and her talent to help people who are not as fortunate as her. She donated much, if not most of her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children's charities and has performed in benefit concerts across the globe in support of disadvantaged children and other social causes (raising over 20 million Euros).
Bear in mind, she was 6 at the time and had NEVER sung in public before, yet she knew she would and she knew it would matter. 😎
Great comment Phil! 🎶💚👣
Angelina met a homeless girl who did not have shoes on so she took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. She never wears shoes on stage because she wants it to be an awareness for the homeless and poor.
When Angelina was 6 she travelled in the Middle-East. She met a poor girl in the streets without shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave her boots to the girl and has since performed (rehearsals are excluded) barefoot both in rembrance of that girl and to raise awareness for poor children everywhere. She has done a ton of charities and helped raise millions.
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 shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. 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.
She has helped raise millions of dollars for underprivileged children around the world & until today is still involved in helping children in need. She even gives all the proceeds from the sale of her single of Bohemian Rhapsody, that she recorded after Queen gave her the rights to her version when she finished AGT. That version went viral & she could have made a ton of $$ for herself but she thought the children in need deserved it more than spoiling herself.
When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
This!
She wrote a book on the subject at age 8 reportedby became Norway's youngest published author.
Her grandmother, who is an artist, illustrated the book.
@@ericzeichert511 pretty sure she was 9. And yep youngest to ever publish a book in Norway.
@@Danny_R_ She was 9 when the book came out. It was clearly based on her diary-notes quite a bit back in time.
Her family protected her childhood fiercely, she wasn't allowed to sign any contracts until she was 15 (or so) They flatly turned down offers from nearly every major studio in the world, (including Disney) and then the contract they negotiated stipulated that she wouldn't produce an album until after she graduated from high school. So she was probably still playing with Barbie dolls when she won Norway's Got Talent.
Pleased you guys have discovered Angelina, in my 74 years I have never heard a more versatile singer, she never fails from 6-17, you will never regret finding her. Peace
Angelina Jordan the best female singer of all times is entering your heart your soul and like a drug you will need everyday hearing her addictive voice ! Good luck
She was personally invited by Quincy Jones to sing Fly me to the Moon as the opening act at O2 Arena in London for his 85th birthday celebration in front of 20k people with a top tier band, she's fearless and has stated she never gets nervous.
You may be surprised that Angelina entered school at four years old. In addition to her daily classes she enrolled in after school program taking music, piano, violin and flute.
By five she was speaking three languages and studying music theory. First recorded singing at eighteen months of age. At two going on three she is spending hours on TH-cam looking for and listening to Jazz artists. At six she enters sound booth for the first time. The increase in her abilities between four and six is incredible. Note that Angelina practices four to six hours per day, six days per week. Dedicated, compulsive, obsessive genius. Chooses and arranges all songs she sings since age seven.
This is why I love people with autism, which she 100% has, meant in a positive way, even if she doesn’t know it or has recieved the diagnosis, cause some people with autism, just have these insane talents, which means they can learn things quicker than anyone else, or are just born with abilities others could only dream of at that age. It’s not that other people can’t learn most of these skills too, it would just take them so many years and so much effort, that it wouldn’t be worth it.
She performs in front of 1000s and it does not faze her. Nerves of steel.
She said to her singing is like breathing.
Their are a few great videos of her performing at 6 years old.
When she was little she met a homeless girl and gave her the shoes she was wearing. She vowed to never wear shoes on stage again until all the world's children had them. I think she was six years old when this happened.
Angelina performs barefoot to remind her of all the less fortunate children in the world. She is "The Barefoot Princess".
Welcome.... :) The best voice alive .
This is Angelina's 6th original song to go with her 185 covers. She is 17 years old and in her 12th year as a recording artist. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 covering Billie Holiday. Her versions of jazz classics from her pre-teen years are the most beautiful jazz songs I have ever heard. Angelina has always created her own arrangements and has completely re-arranged classics like "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Suspicious Minds", "Billie Jean", "California Dreaming" among many others.
I know comparing Angelina to Amy Winehouse is meant as a compliment. We Angelina angels acknowledge Angelina has some physical resemblance to Amy Winehouse and at times, her singing reminds many of Amy. Amy was her own, unique artist, beloved by many. Angelina is also her own unique artist with a growing fanbase. We would appreciate anyone making the comparison, do so only once and take the time to learn about Angelina as a songwriter, singer and most importantly, the loving, empathic person she is.
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.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year.
During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each.
In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 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"
Personally, Angelina as a great human being . We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
This one of my fav's to watch new comers react to. Redonkulously Good.
Minha também!❤
Angelina was born with an extraordinary talent to an extraordinary family, a family full of love, and a willingness to support her calling, and her calling is our gift. Thank God she loves to sing.
And as for her bare feet, others will explain the bareness, but note they are not that tiny, and they kind of foretell future physiques. This lovely little girl has grown up to be a 6' + statuesque beauty, still humble, a generational type singer and, most importantly, a very generous and compassionate person.
I don't touch out of respect and because he is the author of the song James Brown, but then I put Angelina at 10 years old on the top step in the execution of this cover, safety, presence on stage, voice, tone, scary dynamics and timing, unapproachable talent , pure gold for my ears and more, thanks guys, great reaction, good life and music..Massimo
Guys, you have reacted to Angelina a few times and I must say that you are entertaining and likeable. But a quality reaction goes so much further. It involves knowing as much as possible about the artist as you are able and knowing about the songs they are singing. It's learning about the goals of the artist and about them as people, not just singers. With that in mind, just about all of this information has been repeated in the comments multiple times since you began reacting to Angelina. Why she doesn't wear shoes has been explained countless times yet you keep bringing it up in the reactions. You have been missing out on a very important story that defines Angelina and her heart. Yet you still do not have the answers, and it is apparent that you are not reading your comments that are so valuable in learning what you need to know. Personally, if reactors are not reading the comments and using that information constructively, I won't bother leaving comments anymore. Reading the comments and learning from them is one of the greatest things you can do to improve and elevate your reactions to another level. The second thing is to help promote your artists as they have channels just like you do. Encourage your viewers to like comment and subscribe to them in addition to your channel. Reactors featured artists should reflect equal priority and this will create more loyal fans for you. Peace.
Nearly impossible for a reaction channel that gets a lot of comments, to read them all. That said, the first couple reactions to any artist are the most important for learning about that artist. The fans know it is the first time the reactor is hearing the artist and are eager to provide information they feel is important. I advise Black Pegasus, to read the comments on the first reaction to Angelina and to any other artist and make notes they can refer to on future reactions.
Angelina loves shoes & she must have 100 pairs or more. Her bare feet on stage is a humanitarian statement about World poverty, especially for children, & she has helped raise $millions over the last decade. Others will give you the details of how it came about & she even wrote a book about it with all proceeds going to children's charities. She was fortunate enough to grow up in an affluent family, so money to her is something to help less fortunate people with. When she gets World fame, I'm sure she will strike a deal with a shoe company that will design & manufacture a sturdy shoe that is inexpensive to make.
Originally this was a Broadway song, written by Anthony Newly, and popularized by Nina Simone, who was one of the heavy influencers for Angelina's love of jazz.
Thank you guys for this reaction.
The one thing that is not emphasized enough on many of Angelina’s performances is that most of them were for charitable organizations.
This was an event held in support of "Plan International", a humanitarian and development organization with the goal of advancing children's rights and equality for girls around the world. "Foster Parents" sponsor needy children around the world with monetary pledges that go directly to helping the specific children whom they sponsored and are able to communicate with them via Plan International.
The event was held on December 30, 2016 at Chateau Neuf Center in Oslo and broadcast on TV2.
Angelina was one of several performers and delivered a stunning performance.
This Amazing young lady with the big voice and bigger heart is 17 years old now and still performs barefoot to remember the shoeless girl that she met when she was 6 years old and to remind us all of the many needy children around the world.
… My favorite performance by Angelina ... Nobody sings this song better than she! Nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So Perfect … Absolutely world class !! ... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
That why she became our Princess ❤️... because she's good in singing..her voice has captured our minds...our hearts...May God bless her
Regarding why she sings barefoot: there is an important story behind this, which she wrote up in a book to become the youngest published author in Norway at the age of 9... the story took place when she was just 6 and she tells some of it in this interview which is well worth watching: th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
Not just live audience, but it was on national TV!
Angelina is such a great gift for all humans, nobody can sing like angelina, she is music and a poet artist. I mean this performance is a true masterpiece for ever, she is so professional with ten years old, also this bigband is outstanding 👑♥️🌹💫
Thanks. Angelina is very supported by her family. They do all normal stuff that family does. Angelina has finish her school. There is a lot of video since she was small until now and her family is always there. She is so classy and adoroble and grounded. ❤
THERE IS A SMALL CLIP OF ANGELINA AT 1 1/2 SINGING I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BY WHITNEY HOUSTON. IT'S VERY CUTE. I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY IT.
The best rendition of this song ever !!!
Charity, she donated the 80 thousand dollars she won on Norway’s Got Talent
Angelina Jordan won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 in 2014, the prize for winning was eighty thousand dollars, this money was donated to children’s charities. At age 8 her first charity performance was in Germany to raise money for heart disease. Again, at age 8 she does a telethon for Plan International Children’s Charity. Still at age 8 she performs for Norwegian Sea Rescue Society Charity. On the 12th of Dec still at age 8, she performs at Save The Child Nobel Peace Prize, 4 days later, even though she has a very bad cold, she performs for the Swedish Heroes Foundation against her doctor's orders. At age 10 she performed for the Norwegian Refugee Council Charity. Also age 10 she performed in Seoul in South Korea for Rotary International to raise money for children’s vaccinations.
Angelina Jordan comes from a very wealthy family and does need the money, she, and her family want to share her wonderful talent with the world. This is what makes AJ and her family so very special. This information was on Alan's Pod Cast.
Great reaction to a child with Wisdom and Talent that is unmatched! She had life figured out at age 6, when the rest of us take 50 or 60 years and still really never figure it out. We get the privilege to hear her Awesome voice, God Bless!
Thank you for the reaction!😊😊👍👍
Welcome to the Barefoot Princess's community of Angels. The story behind her performing shoeless is touching, and at 17 years old, she's sticking to her principle of honoring the children in poverty of the world. Angelina not only has talent, she has a deep generosity. Extraordinary old soul.
@BlackPegasusRaps I swear bro, every single reactor has a reaction to her AGT performance at age 13, because it wouldn't do AJ justice not to react to the performance that put her on the map in North America & literally doubled her fan base over night. IT'S THAT GREAT! Just stop it a few times & comment on her greatness. 🤣
Briefly speaking, AJ not wearing shoes in live performances is a reminder that there are people on this planet (MILLIONS!) who live in extreme poverty and can't afford shoes!
Angelina supports people in need (not only for show, but for real); I believe she's one of those people who (will) make a huge difference for the better in this world.
AI will never be able to express love the way Angelina does with her voice. Do you feel a stirring around inside you when Angelina is singing for you? That's her love touching your heart.
I will throw this out at you, as wonderful as she is as a fantastic singer, vocally and artistically, she is equally as beautiful as a human being. The soulful voice with it's deep, rich tones comes from deep within her, her soul, and when her love touches your heart it is genuine and your heart knows it.
There will be several 'angels' who will explain to you why she doesn't wear shoes when she performs. Unless reading comments is a no no with your format I strongly suggest you find out why she sings barefoot. It will touch your heart.
Great reaction! Others will tell you the story about why she performs barefoot. I would like to add that Angelina’s family have ensured that she experienced all the things kids should be allowed to. It’s her own driving force that has made her the brilliant vocalist that she is as well as a kind, humble and generous human being. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina…she is simply the best…❤
Wrapped in a warm blanket. It tells the story of Angelina Jordan.
Thank you for another reaction to Angelina. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction.
There are so many things I get from this performance. 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.
(1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice.
(2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move.
(3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus.
(4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance.
(5) That wonderful crescendo at the end.
(6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance
(7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand.
(8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 7.10 in your reaction video.
(9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!"
(10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who,curseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause.
Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
"Feeling Good" (also known as "Feelin' Good") is a song written by English composers Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. It was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant on the UK tour. It is more recognised as by being sung by Nina Simone
Fun fact: the musical was originally to be named The Smell of the Greasepaint The Roar of the Crowd. Newley and Bricusse switched the 2 words to get more publicity. The critics had a hayday criticizing the “Rookie Mistake” not realizing it was intentional. It worked and the musical was a success.
@@davidtouma4878 Cool didn't know that
I love the way she is a little girl, then she concentrates...the music starts and she is an other person and she becomes the music
, she's grown up when the music stops suddenly she is again a kid looking shy even
"There's levels." 🤣Don, in the context it was given -- and so dryly -- that is by far the funniest thing I have ever heard in a reaction to the inimitable Angelina Jordan. 🙏 You have my subscription now for those two words alone.
You can never know how she sings listening to the first 25 songs. That's because she flexes her voice to suit the genre. There is no doubt she is a jazz queen but hear her tackle Elvis SUSPICIOUS MINDS. Lana Del Rey BORN TO DIE, Mileys NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART or Any Adele song. Reccomend EASY ON ME or ALL I ASK..there is even an EDM piano house ABOVE THE WATER.
She's truly a superstar. Her new EP is epic. Thank you.
I love that you have found Angelina Jordan, she really is so very very special with a catalogue with so much depth including some stunning self penned songs. Her tribute to her grandad " Million Miles " Live in Norway 2022, is so special !
Angelina first sang at age 1 1/2 - and there is video of it if you look for it :)
She's at her best with just a guitar ❤
Avicii chose Angelina for the vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone's Feeling Good.
But in the commercial is Audra Mae singing.
You are as shocked as the rest of us when we hear Angelina sing.
Yes there is an interview of a young Angelina explains why she does not wear shoes while performing. She also wrote a book about it (which is a best seller in Norway). She gave the proceeds from the book to charity.
Her vocal talents are amazing but the story of how and why she doesn’t wear shoes just puts her over the edge as a wonderful human being. She wrote a book at the age 9 of her experience and became the youngest published author in Norwegian History. I’m including links to an interview on Norwegian TV and the song “Unchained Melody” she performed during the same show. It’s in Norwegian with English subtitles. Keep in mind this is a nine year old giving an account of her experience at 6 or 7 years old.

The entire story told in the book is beautifully written and illustrated (artwork by her grandmother). I believe her humble kindness, caring, empathy and love for others is apparent with each and every video I’ve ever seen.
Great reaction guys.
She is pretty amazing.
Since you have now done a few Angelina reactions I’m a little surprised by the questions you are asking. Usually when someone reacts to Angelina for the first time several fans provide detailed biographies of her with a lot of info including why she performs barefoot and how her family has made sure that she’s had as normal a childhood as possible.
If you guys continue watching Angelina you will come across many more mind blowing performances.
- The Barefoot Princess -
(From her book, television and radio interviews, and podcasts made between 2014-2015. Includes excerpts from her diary made that day in 2012.)
Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at 6 years old, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them.
Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true, you have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day, 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.”
From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.

I love Angelina Jordan, she is an amazing singer, a natural sensation and inspiration. A notable caring reaction...🤗☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
AJ only performs barefoot. She wears footwear in public and even in some of her videos when she's not singing. She actually wrote a book about her experience with the young homeless girl that made her the youngest published author in Norway.
Such an amazing voice control for a little girl. 😍😍😍. Lene61/🇩🇰
This show was also shown on national television in Norway.
Keep it up boyz - she is well worth a journey
It's heartwarming to hear how you love AJ!
Thank you for your reactions. I've been following her and she's astounding!🔥👍♥️It feels so good when someone has a good taste in music.
Thank you for this beautiful reaction!!
Don’t worry, Angelina has had a normal childhood as possible.
Her family is very protective with her. She has finished her school and now she will be promoted by Republic Records.
If you want to be more impressed, please check her cover of” It’s a Man’s world

Unbelievable!!!
She’s a music genius. Her maternal grandmother : Mery Zamani is an artistic genius too.
Her cover of Bohemian Rapsody in AGT was incredible too. She has made her own version of this iconic song.
The Queens Band were so amazed of this version that they gave her the full rights of this version.
Waiting for your next Angelina’s reaction.
True story about not wearing shoes. Very young and she gave them to a street urchin little girl. She actually has a true book about it Also remember English is not her primary language, she speaks Norweigan, English, Farsi, and some Japanese.,, poiano, guitar i
Guys Guys Guys, no need to do research. JUST READ THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!! Thats why WE comment guys. Sheesh. ANy questions you have are answered IN DETAIL in the comments from the Angels, her fans. Great reactions. There are no other singers that compare to this artist. Enjoy the journey.
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".
5 octaves for a 10 year old Susan Boyle did that at 47 years old and got world acclaim now it's Angelina turn. Now 17 the world 🌎 is hers wild bill
She did al the arrngments of the song and band.
Well, Boyz have barely scratched the surface--barely.
You two mid-life crisis guys are a hoot. There is an incredible story as to why she sings barefoot, involving promises made between Angelina Jordan and an orphaned homeless girl in the middle east to whom she gave her ankle boots that she loved. . She was 6 years old at the time of her vow to perform barefooted until all children everywhere have shoes, homes, and necessities. The story is rich and full of detail---I'm sure other fans have already filled you in by this time. As for this song, I am always impressed by how she takes her time with the song and just does not rush. Thanks for the first reaction. Good luck with your music, too. Thanks for your time. Grandma Ellen, signing out.
the "you know what i mean---dont you knowww_" is SO dope! Pure soul
"Are we supposed to do research", yes sir.
She's got an EP that just came out. She wrote all the songs. You should give it a listen and play something from it. Its very good.
"the shoe thing" you actually got it right. some singers like to sing barefoot ecause it helps them feel more grounded and help their breathing
The “shoe thing” is so much deeper than that and is explained in depth in these comments if you take the time to read them. Peace
she's from Norway, And won Norways got talent at age of 7 yrs old
You MUST react to her version of Elton Johns Yellow brick road on AGT!! BEST THING EVER! Love from Norway 🇧🇻
Listen to : I’m still holding on to you by Angelina Jordan .
"Feeling Good" is a song written by English composers Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. It was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant on the UK tour. Nina Simone recorded "Feeling Good" for her 1965 album I Put a Spell on You.Wikipedia
Published:
1964 by Musical Comedy Productions
Here her sing I’m a fool to want you Angelina Jordan
She has been called the barefoot princess. She wear shoes but as soon she gets to the stage shoes are off. She promise no to wear shoes until all poor children gets shoes.
Have you heard her sing "Stay" by Rihanna? It's about 5yrs old now but well worth a watch!
🌀 btw she never gets nervous & never wears shoes when she performs ‼️
Nina Simone's 1965 Album "I Put a Spell on You" made the song a classic.
Princes without the silver slippers! I think it's what it's called.
Another kid you must watch is Amira Willighagen. At the age of 9 she won Holland got Talent with opera songs and after the win she was invited by a leader of a huge classical orchestra. Look up Amira Andre Rieu
She’s singing since very young and she does kids stuff shwrote a book at the age of 9❤
At 78, I remember my little iron and lead soldiers. Same thing with hills in trees. In 1966 lead was banned in plastic soldiers appeared. 👎🏿
On a different note🌺🌺 ANGELINA❗️😇
She never gets nervous‼️
I'm guessing Angelina has a large collection of spectacular footwear lol
"You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good." - Janis [ Miss. Angelina "Magical Barefoot Jazz Vocalist" Jordan ] Joplin "We Thank - U | Guy's"
I guess she wears no shoes because she is more comfortable! She really is fire!! TEN YEARS OLD! I' ve seen her on TH-cam as she is older now - excellent as always!!!💝💝💝
Read in the comments why she wears no shoes when performing, it will touch your heart, much deeper than feeling relaxed on stage, her level of empathy at 6 years old is beyond extraordinary. Peace
that beautiful. i sing Bubles version of this at karaoke. she sings it better at 10 then i do.
"... how was I supposed to know?" - making statements as fact based on things you don't know, GOOD that you call yourself out for this - love it!
Now the hope that you learn from this perfect example of Ass-u-me-ism, and not do it so often. Personally, I laughed hard that the statement it was her dad was said with full confidence lmao
IMHO Angelina's masterpiece to date was also recorded in 2016, at 10 yrs old. "I'm Still Holding Out For You" (th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html) was co-written by Brandon
Lowry at a 2016 writers workshop in Oslo, Norway. Brandon sent out lyrics and melody to several artists, including Angelina, in an attempt to receive a demo. Angelina's
recording was never released and unknown party(s) obtained the recording and created the LEAKED video, which was released in November 2018, one month before
Brandon released his video with the song.
She is the g.o.a.t. our barefoot princess now the goddess of the universe 💞💞❣️😍😍🤩👍 wild bill from Worcester mass 😎
