I personally think that listening to Angelina is great for anyone's mental health, and I think many of her fans would agree with this. After you have heard more of her stuff, you will probably agree too. It's not just her voice, but her beautiful spirit as well that really affects people. To see what I mean, just read through this little bio to learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 16
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- 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.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 160 songs and over 70 artists. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
- Updates: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist".
On Nov 6 2020 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"!
On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven"
In Dec 2021 her cover of "Mercy" was in the opening credits for the movie "The Hating Game"
She has done so much already, but at 16 she is just getting started!!!
Rusty, I noticed that you didn't do what seems like a natural thing in this instance and include the quote sometimes attributed to Angelina that this was about a "desperate cry for love . . ." Is that because it is inaccurate, undocumented, etc?
@@BarrySowder I actually thought of that quote after I posted since she even picked up on the sentiment (which most miss).
As far as the legitimacy of the quote, it definitely sounds like something she would say, I just don't know the source. I don't usually re-post anything I don't have a good source for, and I have lost track of that one somehow.
@@RustyShacklefordChannel I would appreciate it that, if you find the quote, you would post it here in this comment or you know where else that I can't name here or they will block my comment.
she is keeping me in positive, i am from Poland and her music give me calm
Thank you for the updates! So glad to hear it. She has always appeared to have much more savvy than her years belie.
She is actually 9 years, 2 md old here !!!. 16 years today! Many consider her the world's best and most versatile young vocalist!
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!!
Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on TH-cam performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences.
Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history.
Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.
The reason they still take it fairly slowly is that she is only 16 years old - This in agreement with Republic Record, the family, and Angelina herself. She is now working on her record. Angelina has already sung in many countries, and all important people in the music industry know who she is. They only need to press the button when the time is right for the next step. No point in "burning out" a 16 year old jewel of a singer and I think many people forget how young she really is since she is so mature for her age!
Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.

This is a 9 year old girl, in the cute white dress. This is her arrangement of the song from the 1956 classic from Screamin Jay Hawkins. Greatest vocal artist/music genius that has graced this planet in decades.
Here's Jay performing the song on Arsenio Hall's show - th-cam.com/video/3S7a4Uj2yME/w-d-xo.html
AKA a cover. When I see reactions to covers, I get concerned young people won't experience the genius of the original artist, that would be a shame.
We call lil Angelina the Queen of Jazz for a reason. So if you love Jazz, she wont disappoint.
She's grown up a bit now, sweet sixteen, and only grown more amazing.
Congrats, you just discovered the most astonishing voice of the century...!
This is actually covering Screamin J Hawkin’s version from the 50’s..you see his image on the candle she’s holding at the beginning. You may have noticed her handing over some notes or wishes also at the beginning? These were her alterations to the arrangement..She’s 9 years 2 months here delivering utter genius level vocals.
Utterly pertinent to you may I recommend you react to her rendition of Gloomy Sunday on NGT? It’s known as the Hungarian suicide song..check it out.
Yes, or perhaps Bohemian Rhapsody from America's Got Talent. Always a winner.
Yes, Kev - thank you! This remains one of my favorites.. I know she is now much older, and even writing her own material... but still...lol
SJH version was 1956 and, yes, that's his face on the candle.......AJ sang this as a tribute
Hey! her music is medicinal. Its pure and will heal you and your soul. You will absolutely fall for Angelina. She will help you in dark times.
so very true......
It was Peak Pandemic and I was feeling low. No work and nothing to do but to aimlessly scroll through my Facebook feed. And then amongst all nonsense up came this video from America’s Got Talent with a 13-year old girl from Norway singing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody in a way that was totally beautiful and mesmerising. I was instantly hooked. And the more I listened to this young girl the more emotional I became and it kind of snapped me out of my mood. I became a fan like I’ve never been for anyone. I started a TH-cam channel. I started a podcast. I wanted others to feel the way I felt - utter joy and gratitud. What Angelina has showed me is that we humans have the power to move one another to the point that it actually makes the world a better place.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit down, the first thing I do is listen to an Angelina song, and my spirits are lifted immediately.... 🙂💛👍
W O W.....i do the same......also helps keeping my 81 year old blood pressure in check.....
Keep reacting to Angelina singing because her singing makes people happy, makes them glad to ba alive!
(Continued from above)
Despite the fame Angelina earned winning NGT 2014, her parents were insistent that she have a normal childhood. They turned down record labels and performance requests, limiting her appearances to about 10% of the requests. This is the reason why she flew under the radar for many of us. Yet she did perform around the globe, including on "The View" at 8 years old in the US. As an international "Got Talent" winner, 13 year old Angelina was invited to audition for America's Got Talent, The Champions (AGTC) Season 2020. She owned the audience with her first few lines. She sang her own stunning arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", earning both a golden buzzer and a congratulatory tweet from Queen for her performance. This is a must see performance (link below).
Despite not winning AGTC in 2020, Angelina was the golden goose everyone wanted. Although many record labels, including those most associated with AGT, and even Disney were knocking on her door, she said no. Yet, at 14 she chose to sign with Republic Records, as they shared a common vision of her music, giving her complete artistic and timing control. RR made a sound decision as while Angelina is still a child, she will become a significant voice to the world. Angelina has appeared on television shows and at music festivals, all while she was still a single digit midget. Although her parents still insisted that Angelina should have a normal childhood, teenaged Angelina is sings with the voice of someone decades older. The largest live audience she sang for (while a preteen) was 40,000, and the more she grows, the more her voice grows, exponentially. Angelina’s received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2.5 billion views on Facebook. She has been featured in TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. At 8 years old, she performed in the Nobel Peace Prize Concert - Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration, for Peace Prize Laureates Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi. She has sung for Quincy Jones, Barak Obama, Whoopi Goldberg, Forrest Withaker, and numerous dignitaries in Europe.
Angelina turned 16 in January 2022, and lives with her parents, grandmother, and her little sister Juliette in LA. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, was an Iranian born child prodigy in her own right, but in poetry and art. Mery is Angelina's mentor, and they have an incredibly close relationship. Mery films and designs most of her performance attire. Mery and Angelina also worked together to create the artwork for her original release, “Million Miles” (lyrics version). This was written while she grieved over the loss of her grandfather. Angelina (14 y/o) sings from her heart, and offers up her performance to others that grieve the loss of friends and family. “Million Miles” was also released as a studio version, and later as a music video, featuring Angelina and her little sister Juliette, (15 and 8 years old respectively). Juliette performs as a ‘young Angelina’ in the video. I imagine it was a cathartic experience that both sisters could share in.
As you are watching her perform, you will undoubtedly notice she’s always barefooted. Why doesn’t she wear shoes when she sings?
- The Barefoot Princess of Jazz -
Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at age 6, Angelina came across an orphaned girl weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. She 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, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina loved her shoes as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them, but she saw the little girl’s need for them 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 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.” Angelina wrote in her diary that day "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 never performs or makes a studio recording without first taking off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone asked why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, a child prodigy in her own right, but in poetry and art, created the artwork in the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina performed alongside other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars.
So, if you’ve reached this point in the lengthy, but limited, bio of Angelina Jordan, here are some songs to help lift your spirit, as they lift mine. Whenever I feel like I’m lost in the dark, I can count on Angelina to turn the lights back on for me.

Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956. 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.
Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are
(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
(g) 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.
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.
Our Bare Foot Princess of Jazz, Queen of song!
You're absolutely right, the lyrics are about scary attachment and coercion. The Hocus-Pocus version made it camp, but Angelina is following how the song was originally written and sung by Screamin' Jay Hawkings.
Angelina has well over a hundred videos up on TH-cam. As someone who is so oriented toward emotions, you will be absolutely crazy about her. That's because she expresses more different emotions, and more realistically, than any other singer you have ever seen. You may think I am just a crazed fan for saying that, but trust me, look at some more of her songs and you will agree.
For your next Angelina reaction I would suggest you look at her cover of Michael Jackson's Heal the World.
Here's the link to "Heal the World" th-cam.com/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/w-d-xo.html For me, Angelina's version is more moving than MJ's.
Your response to this performance and particularly the lyrics is very interesting. The original performer/composer, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, wrote this piece back in the mid 1950's. He was a jazz performer, and for reasons not outlined here, he ended up making his art theatrical, shockingly theatrical. What Angelina did as a young girl was to recreate/interpret this piece of jazz history. At the beginning of the video we can see her writing/arranging chord notation sheets which she submitted to the band director for approval. Then she displays the picture/candle of Screamin' Jay Hawkins in respect. As for the meaning of the lyrics as it relates to mental health, I can only defer to your opinion as someone who is committed to mental health issues. You clearly have a grasp of those issues. As an older man of 79 years, my focus is on the expression that Angelina brings to this classic piece of jazz. There are many , many vocal coaches and just plain listeners who marvel at Angelina's creation/expression, as a little girl or not. I think you get that...and I laud your effort to offer deeper insight into the psycho-social content of the lyrics.
What is important about Angelina's musicality and vocal expression is that she uses these in service of whatever song she sings to fully convey the emotional content of the lyrics. She does this so well, time after time, that the listener is mesmerized and enters fully into the story in song that Angelina sings. She began performing in recording studios and on stage at the age of 5 or 6, and has been steadily developing her craft until the present in which she is 16. Anyway, thanks for you reaction/review. I feel it would be beneficial for you to review other performances by Angelina with the point of view of how lyrical content affects mental states, and how effective an artist like Angelina is at the craft of singing.
Well said Philip. Other artists make you hear the song, Angelina makes you feel it.
philip Screamin' Jay initially wanted to be an opera singer. Before recording IPASOY, the producer got the band totally shit-faced, which resulted in his shocking, theatrical performance.
@@103mrg After watching Screamin' Jay's performance, I can believe it!
I can't think of a better person to introduce to the subject of mental health than Angelina. She is all about love, acceptance, peace.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina grew up singing Jazz and this is obviously her favorite genre, the biggest influence, the origination of her versatility, deep soulful expression and deep emotional connection to her audience. She can sing any song and any genre. ♥👣
She is absolutely fearless in choice of covers. No artist is too big and no song too daunting. Most Artists shy away from singing Acappella as it will quickly show any flaws. Angelina will sing absolutely any thing Accappella and often does on tik-toc just walking around the neighborhood as this video shows. th-cam.com/video/z5MGeCUjMU4/w-d-xo.html Just imagine running into Angelina on the street, some park or underground parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to see that! You have far to go and much to learn. Treasure your Journey. We will enjoy watching it.
Angelina arranges, at least in part, if not in total, total control of all her performances. She has since she was 7-8 yrs old. She knows what she wants and gets exactly what she wants out of the artists and musicians she works with, many of them who are some of the most accomplished in the industry.
Angelina has the most beautiful deep voice which is always in tune and quite often in her lower register. I believe she is a Contralto which is rare for a girl especially at this age. You will soon realize she is always Pitch Perfect and always performs at a Master Class level. Her voice was powerful and beautiful at 8 yrs old and today at 16 it is phenomenal! Enjoy the ride. I will enjoy watching you. ♥👣👸🏻
You got my first reaction
And to get a true look at the beauty of Angelina's voice even at age 8 I would suggest one of my favorites.

This is to me the most beautiful rendition of this song and to me THE most beautiful performance I have ever witnessed.
“When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018 ♥👣
Never have I seen Angelina go so deeply into this world as she does here. She is just immediately in it and I from the first note am there with her!
If you could only listen to one Artist for the rest of your life who would it be?
That would be Angelina for me. No Doubt about it! ♥
If you only had one song. This would be it! ♥👣
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan Astar. I will be watching if you continue reacting to her.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6👣
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. 'Between Two Hearts

totally agree.....
Hi Amanda, My re-Discovery of Angelina happened after my wife died in cancer four years ago. I´ve listened to her covers and originals over and over, and I just can´t get enough. The emotions she puts in to her singing is beyond my understanding, and for such a young girl its amazing. She has helped me a lot over the years with her singing. Regarding mental health you should listen to her original Million miles. It is dedicated to her late grandfather, and to everybody who has lost someone loved. Great reaction, and keep up the good work.
God bless you, Trond......
Welcome to the rabbit hole. She is the greatest storyteller you will find.

Nothing supernatural, it's simply Angie. She was born with an exceptional brain and nervous system. Pure nature
i never heard of that one before....hmmmm...i agree....
My soul feels it 🤷♂️🙏
Amanda I subscribed to your channel months ago and apologize for not being active in your community but wanted to support your cause. I spend most of my TH-cam time with Angelina Jordan, since I believe she is a once in forever musical artist. You mentioned that you never understood the lyrics to this 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins classic before and that happens often when Angelina covers a song. She is the ultimate singer story teller packed with tremendous emotion. Please take the time to read the bio I compiled for her.
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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where 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. Angelina plays the piano and guitar and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
*Why Angelina always performs barefoot*
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan.
The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio 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.
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.
A 9 years old, 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.
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. 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.
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 has concerts scheduled in Norway in July 2022.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. 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.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
I've seen this one a few times. Angelina Jordan at 9 years old I swear has an old soul living in her. If I closed my eyes I would never thought a 9 year year old is doing the vocals.
Another great one of hers worth watching is her doing Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent
I have been watching your videos for some time as they relate to me since I struggle with bipolar disorder. Angelina is also my favorite artist and I not only repeatedly listen to her music I watch quite a few reaction videos. So it is interesting to see things converge and watch you react to her song. You would appreciate both of her original songs produced so far after having signed with a big record label as a young teen. The first is "Million Miles" which was written after the death of her grandfather and presents a very healthy way of dealing with grief. The second is "7th Heaven" which is pretty much putting affirmational messages to music. Whether you choose to react to them on camera or not, you should really listen to the wisdom and musical genius of this young lady.
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. 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”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Athought ”Mercy” 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.
Angelina Jordan has made well over 100 covers of old jazz songs and she does them ALL so well. The reasent couple of years she's started doing her own stuff. She's a one of a kind singer on now 17!
She's 16!
Angelina's birthday is January 10, 2006 - she turned 16 this year.
Rusty said f the other day it was 166 including the the 5 of her own and 2 written for her
Great reaction MA to (9) Angie. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read.
She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9, even
at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She
makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great,
plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie
turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big
hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway.
Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also so far, & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already by 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combined with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =)
Angie On AGT Champions at 13 singing her rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. th-cam.com/video/7gQljxeaNuM/w-d-xo.html (The performance was so astounding that Queen
themselves posted a video of the teen singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on their twitter page with the caption:” Wow!!! What a rendition @angelinajordanA” And in an even more extraordinary turn of events, Queen then reportedly gave Angelina her blessing to record
and release her own version of the song by giving her the copyright to do so.) Here’s her Ep of it. “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Angelina Jordan th-cam.com/video/MS2XdfgIti0/w-d-xo.html
(Please do a reaction to these too. Why Angie performs barefoot)
Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min.
Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) th-cam.com/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/w-d-xo.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction
Also She did another interview at (13) at AGT-C & give's a little more reason why she
performs barefoot & fills in some blanks about it from the interview when she was 9. th-cam.com/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/w-d-xo.html
Amanda, I would suggest that you listen to her singing Every Time We Say Goodbye, one of her most beautiful covers of a Ella Fitzgerald classic.
Perfect! That was exactly the one I was going to suggest for Amanda. It is the ideal counterpoint for this crazy one for her to hear and appreciate Angelina's musical range. I am going to make a Patreon request for it right now.
@@leechap3 Great! I'm up for hearing Mental Amanda's take on that one.
awesome song by Angelina.....
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Influences include Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Diana Washington, Adele, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Lana del Rey, and many more. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She also is an inspiration to all of us who struggle in our lives as her heart is made of gold and she is filled with empathy.
She is now 16, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 167 chronological performances, including five originals. These encompass additional performances to those on her channels.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Angelina is my favorite artist of all time. Liked & subed for more AJ reactions!
Screamin J Hawkins had fun with this song, it was his biggest hit and created Screamin J. J got very theatrical with it. Angie follows J's arrangement about 50% of the time. She takes his growl, blabbering, and vocal dirt and makes it work for her 9 yr old self. In my opinion Angie didn't learn this, she heard it and had it, she possessed it in one listening. The skills were already in place, that's what a prodigy does.
Genius, no effort.
Here's my favorite Jay performance of the song on Arsenio Hall's show - th-cam.com/video/3S7a4Uj2yME/w-d-xo.html
cliffird "got very theatrical with it": The producer got the band totally shit-faced before recording the song.
@@103mrg and your point is??
@@cliffirddelbridge2810 The outrageousness of his performance was the consequence of Jay and his bandmates all being drunk.
Best version of this song is by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Angelina is a world class singer, and soothes the soul. I watch her daily, and jazz is calming, and Angelina is the genuine article.
Check out her many many covers, and originals, and share them with your group. I guarantee they will fall in love with this gentle soul. Best wishes to you and your project.
By some of us, Angelina is considered the best vocalist on the planet (soul, emotion, arrangement, impact, ...) - HOWEVER, she is just as good a human being and philanthropist. She is a unique soul with a huge heart that holds humanity dear.. She is now just 16 years old and gives us hope for future generations. Sounds a bit insane.. improbable.. over-the-top... But dive a bit into the rabbit hole of her music and her life and you may, possibly, agree that there is something very rare and special here.
Angelina is an incredible story teller at 9 yrs old.... You should hear her interpret Gloomy Sunday (Billie Holiday's classic.. talk about angst!!
When one goes through an abundance of AJ performances and information you can easily realize that she is already a superstar.
She's performed all over the world and can do so whenever and wherever she & her parents feel it is a good for Angelina.
Here is one of her concert performances at 12 th-cam.com/video/k_obf1BTBtE/w-d-xo.html
She in in high demand and regularly gets many offers and requests to perform. Since being signed with Republic records she also enjoys the highest quality of industry guidance as well as having access to top musicians and orchestras as needed.
With a coming new album and her summer concert season approaching millions more will soon be appreciating her brilliance.
Thank you for a brilliant reaction! You have seen more in this performance than all the other reactors (and there are many) put together. Angelina really brings out the dark power behind this song and makes you feel that spell. If you are the person addressed by this you should be running hard in the opposite direction! However, there's no need to fear for Angelina's state of mind. She is one of the most well-balanced people on the planet with a wonderful family behind her. How she can interpret a song like this (and she partly arranged it herself) is almost supernatural. If you care to check out more Angelina you will find a LOT of her fans will join your channel - and I'm sure they'd like to hear what you make of some of her classics, such as Love Story and Song for A - both a total contrast to "Spell" and both wonderfully calming.
Genius at work, regardless of age she is out of this world and today at 16 she simply gets better with each song. Her heart touching self penned Million Miles is so a beautiful song. If I ever get low I watch an Angelina video of listen on the ipod and I feel so much better as if my soul has been touched. I really enjoyed your reaction and points raised. Good look with your fantastic project.
There are thousands of flabbergasted, mesmerized and mindblown reactions to this preformance on YT, and understandably so. I really enjoyed how you eloquently contextualized it with the topic of your channel! Also, it feels like nine year old Angelina somehow gets that this is not what love should be. This isn’t about romance, but desperation. And yes, dependence.
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction & appreciation for Angelina's epic performance (which she also arranged) - at age 9. And - as young as she is here - highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool to Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) at ages 7-8. You might also enjoy her US debut on The View with her performance of Fly Me To The Moon (age 8) which also includes a short interview in which she answers the question as to how old she was when she started singing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Mom, I’m done recording. I’ll be outside playing hide and seek with my friends. Lol
She’s great for my mental well being!!! Thanks for the reaction, and hopefully you’ll continue to discover this amazing human being😄❤️
New sub,wonderful reaction.Love the focus on mental health,music is a great tool for healing.You will find the life of Angelina to be incredibly fascinating,including how her family have raised this special musical prodigy,without exploiting her,instead loving her to greatness.Her beloved grandmother Mery was a child prodigy in painting and poetry and is Angelina's muse and mentor.Angelina now 16 is poised to impact the musical world at large.
"When a beautiful soul touches your life, it never really leaves you." - Magical Vocalist / Author [ Ms. Angelina Jordan ] Unknown Thank U... Mental Amanda... "Fantastic Hosting Here - We hope Ms. Angelina Jordan See's This ... A must for her... Thanks Douglas / DD.
Excellent reaction and she is perfect for you channel. She has a warm soothing and sometimes actual healing voice. Not only does she embody the song and project the emotion, along with it you feel her Pure Love to everyone, God Bless!
It's almost like she is channeling the original singer Screamin Jay Hawkins. She even gets some of his mannerisms.
Here's my favorite Jay performance of the song on Arsenio Hall's show - th-cam.com/video/3S7a4Uj2yME/w-d-xo.html
@@Christian-DH Nice!
Thank you Amanda & Welcome to your Angelina Jordan Journey. Buckle up ...you are in for a rollercoaster ride of Waves of mixed emotions ahead if you continue. This child prodigy has the ability to re- interpret cover songs by her Amazing skill base of raw talent & vocal abilities. She has brought grown men to tears with her greatness & left the rest of us speechless. Enjoy Angelina Jordan our barefoot princess who Really is A LEGEND IN THE MAKING. She is now 16 yrs of age. Quite the PHENOMENON🤯
Welcome to Angelinas world. If you want to listen to music you can listen to any singer but if you want to feel music listen to Angelina. After her first song in Norway got talent one of the judges sayed to Angelina : You are music. Angelina was then 7 yo.
I listen to Angelina everytime my thougts go places they should not. She is my medicine.
What you just witnessed, has changed more people internally that makes her "Next Level Event" She on her own did this at 9! Just like her Jazz winning performances that won Norway's got talent at 8 and being the youngest to publish a book in Norwegian history, pales to her vocal abilities. at 16 and over 150 covers as well as her own song place her in a new and unknow category! All I can say is "She is" and your about to find out why. Be ready for change!
Thank you for the great reaction. We hope you will continue your journey through Angelina's music. You have over 200 covers and originals to choose from. She is the best musical artist you will ever hear.
Listen to Angelina Jordan song million miles
Greatest singer there has ever been - no exaggeration! The souls of every great singer who has come and passed before her reside in her back pocket
Thank you for a great reaction and perspective. If you want to get a feel for Angelina's positive and life affirming view, you can watch Million Miles - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html . It is a song she wrote/composed after a personal loss and she dedicated it to all those who experienced loss. It is powerful and soothing and helped many of us angels (Angelina's fans) in dealing with life's challenges.
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this sweet little norwegian girl (now 16 y old) is imo the best singer on this planet! 🤩
Angelina is an awesome talent
The thing about Angelina is her ability to elicit emotions (duende) regardless of the century the song lyrics were written. That is her gift and ability, that many of us cherish. She is a precious present to humanity and for me, fantastic for my mental health.
Good luck with the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole you've just been sucked into. This girl is the most amazing, confounding talent I've seen in 40 years. I can watch the same video of her a dozen times and still get goose bumps every time. She is now 16 and has become even better. There are over a 100 songs for you to choose from, originals and covers. She makes every single one her own. Love her.
Imagine turning up at the studio as a session musician to be told your supporting a 9 YEAR old girl and then you’re hit with this performance. The notes she handed over at the start were her ‘requests’ for changes to the arrangement. They referred to her as the Boss! She arranges most of her covers…what an extraordinary talent.
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 arrangement based after listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - 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 on how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/w-d-xo.html
Here's my favorite Jay performance of the song on Arsenio Hall's show - th-cam.com/video/3S7a4Uj2yME/w-d-xo.html
Not just fabulous singing, but she also was heavily involved
in the arrangement and can also be seen directing the musicians
as to when certain individuals should come in. The girl is a genius
and that is no overstatement which you will see for yourself as you
progress through all the different genres of music she has performed.
Angelina has that uncanny ability to tell the story of a song irrespective or should i
Say at the cost of some singing attributes. She's beyond her years in interpreting the Seoul of a song.
9 yr old power house , of unbelievable talent . Enjoyed your reaction, thanks
Like you, Angelina is here to help heal others. God bless you both.
@Mental: Wonderfully intelligent analysis. Thanks! There are touching stories for everything she is or does... including her always performing barefoot.
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
She is 9 years old when she made this.
For some reason, Angelina always compels you to hear and understand the lyrics of a song and their emotional context. Even when her diction isn't perfect. She's a magical girl. 😎
I have heard it said this is Angelina in full beast mode, love the looks of suprise as you watched. Angelina is a force with her voice.
I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but Angelina Jordan's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is bloody amazing, and she nailed it when she was 13. I will say she only gets better the more recent you go.
Pure talent, and she got better over time. She has an old soul.
If you keep listening to this young lady your mental health will improve immensely guaranteed she has that kind of effect on people !!!!!
A really soul touching song that she wrote herself is "Million Miles". You should check that one out....it's beautiful and poignant.
Duck and Cover Amanda, im guessing your comment section will explode the next days =) * im guessing you also will see a lot of comments regarding her voice healing a lot of people out there. This song has some shock value but there are so many songs she has done, own songs, songs written for her and covers.
Angelina Jordan is good for everyone. She is such a beautifully humane individual who helps everyone where she can and has done so she she was 6 years old. Even the money she got for winning Norways Got Talent at aged 7, i believe she gave to childrens charities.
You have about 160 song performances to get through - Rusty Shackleford has put together a complete list of all the songs: th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html

The song was written and originally released by Screaming Jay Hawkins (his image on the candle, 1:54 your reaction). Welcome to the Angelina Jordan "rabbit hole".
Angelina arranged this piece, as well as most of her music, as indicated by the notes that Angelina passed to the band director. Angelina's viral recognition began
when she won Norway's Got Talent in 2014. Her opening performance was Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday", and her winning performance was "Summertime".
I recommend watching all 4 of these performances as a place to jump into the rabbit hole.
I like your analysis of I put a spell on you and Angelina didn't write this but she performed it ...the writer was Screamin' Jay Hawkins (The man and the candle she was holding up).... thank you for your reaction...
No creo haber escuchado en mi vida, a una pequeña cantar con esa potenta voz, y
con tanta pasión e interpretación. Muy madura vocalmente e interpretativamente.
You, Amamda, are brilliant. Enviable amout of empathy.

Angelina Jordan (A J) faz bem para minha mente!!! is good for my mind!!!
Good reaction with new insights. ❤
Angelina tells the story each time.
Hello Amanda, you get a new sub (Italian living in Belgium) and I just want to tell you that I give a quantum physics (QP) POV about Angelina's effect.
With QP you learn that EVERYTHING (from us and what surrounds us) is composed of elementary particles including the light which has its specific particle, the photon; all those particles what do they do? They vibrate and sounds are also vibrations: we are surrounded by a gigantic orchestra!
They also like to synchronize with one another, like the cells of a beating heart.
Therefore, a singer sets the air molecules in motion thanks to the vibration of his vocal cords and also the particles that make up the air molecules
that resonate with everything that these vibrations will encounter.
Now, we have not only vocal cords but also, hopefully, a brain also composed of identical elementary particles which do the same: they vibrate and influence everything around including the vibrations emitted by our vocal cords which therefore do not only conveys the sound of the voice but
also, the intention that the singer emits with his thoughts during his performance!
Here you can remind you that Angelina always said (in this interview also explaining why she's barefoot th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html ) that she
"goes in another place full of light" upon starting to sing: you can now understand why Angelina is not like any other (good) singer.
Now that you discovered her, with this exceptional cover, I suggest you to take the time machine and go back to when she won NGT, @8,
but entered the contest @7, that's why she said 7 to AGTTC answering to Heidi Klum.
"Gloomy Sunday" (subs) to enter the competition took place on 11/24/13 (@7yo) th-cam.com/video/rI6ZhRk86Hs/w-d-xo.html
"I'm a Fool To Want You" a cappella judges not allowed to comment, the Judge's Cut, on 2/7/'14 @7yo th-cam.com/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/w-d-xo.html
"Bang-Bang" in the semi-final on 4/11/14 @7yo th-cam.com/video/7LVHl_juO-Q/w-d-xo.html
"Summertime" In the Finals on 5/23/14 @8yo she won with 48% th-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy everything.🤩🤗
Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to jazz at early age. Mery is somewhat famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is ten-year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: th-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/w-d-xo.html
---- Mery has TH-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz
---- Mery illustrated book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) that Angelina wrote and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in November 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: th-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/w-d-xo.html
There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery:
---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: th-cam.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/w-d-xo.html)
---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: th-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/w-d-xo.html)
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: th-cam.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/w-d-xo.html. As 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: th-cam.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/w-d-xo.html]
---- 7th Heaven (co-wrote as 15-year old. Produced by Stargate. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: th-cam.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/w-d-xo.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: th-cam.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html)
[Stargate is Norwegians Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen and based in LA. They have won 4 Grammy Awards. They also worked with Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, and others]
[Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away. I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven’. The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finished song. We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it.”]
[Angelina believes: “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.”]
[Angelina tells how studio video will look: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it. I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
[Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music.”]
---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. Produced by Stargate. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s and Angelina’s paintings as background: th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html. Audio only: th-cam.com/video/2D9qvBfx47s/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance: th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html. Official music video: th-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/w-d-xo.html)
[Angelina said: "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]
Amanda, Angelina won at age 7 Best of Norway. by singing Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday". The girl can just plain sing. She's listened to a lot of Jazz. Stay Well
just look at her in front of that band. She is a total badass in this. She is doing her version of actual Screaming Jay Hawkins TV performances,... things he used to do,.. his crazy wildness filtered as fun thru a 9 yr olds viewpoint. And what she came up with is just super cool. She is beyond talented.
I know 'Hokus Pokus' too, very beautiful movie :D one of my favorites ... together with 'The Witches' also early 90's I think, but not the remake, the remake is meh
I watched both movies with my mom, she was also a big fan of them. That's why I watch them sometimes when I miss her.
Nice reaction, you are stunning 🤩 angelina is pur music and her voice..technics are divine, she is sooooo goood and makes every own song and every cover to a masterpiece for ever 👑♥️🌹🌟🙌
Welcome to Angelina's world she's not only a amazing singer she's an amazing humantarian. You'll note she sings barefoot, at age 6 while traveling in the middle east with her mother and grandmother ( Mery Zamani aka Mosarz world renowned poet and artist a child prodigy herself) she met a little girl weighing people for money they struck up a conversation Angelina asked the little girl What she wanted to be when she grew up and she replied a doctor but said it would never be because she was a orphan and had to take care of her siblings, Angelina told her she wanted to sing for the world then the girl said she would pray for her Angelina took off her boots and gave them to the little girl because the girl couldn't afford shoes. Angelina wrote a book about the encounter making her the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina is from Norway and English is her third language. Since then Angelina performs barefoot to bring awareness that there people less fortunate out there. Angelina has performed all over the world to help raise millions for different charities she has sang for Royalty, Prime ministers, former presidents and celebrities. She just this year turned 16 , her parents finally let her sign with a record company Republic records with the understanding that education comes first. Have no fear she comes from a very loving and close knit family, her parents uprooted from Norway and moved to the United States for Angelina . They go home to Norway in the summer when Angelina is out of school I'm sure when Angelina finishes school they'll move back. Growing up Angelina's grandmother instilled in her two things the love of Jazz and her humanitarianism Mery been holding art exhibits for different charities for many years.
That's a photo of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who did the original, at 1:55. He was something else.
Great reaction Amanda ! Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole, look forward to your next AJ reaction 😊 can’t think of a better artist/ human to help peoples mental health!!
Not sure if this has been commented, but, that picture on the candle is "Screamin' Jay Hawkins". It's the style she interpreted the song from. Only gifted children should be able to have these abilities, at 9... she is a savant. Jazz, was her favorite. No neglet with this young woman. She gets her feeling for her songs because she is an empath/loves her fam. Thanks u
I follow several great young singers, that don't come close to Angelina. I don't consider Angelina a "great singer." Just as I don't consider Rembrandt just a great painter. Angelina is an artist, that creates her masterpieces with her voice, her knowledge of the mechanics of music, and her ability to have a song sound the way she wants it to sound. I am an Angelinaholic, and I can never be cured, and look forward to listening to her artwork every time she performs.
I have been watching dozens of reactors to Angelina's "I Put A Spell On You" cover and thought I have heard every angle of analysis, but you proved me wrong. Looking at the psychological impact of the lyrics brings to mind the mindset of the obsessive relationship. Angelina is singing the part of the typical male who won't take no for an answer when she sings "I don't care if you don't love me..." This type of behavior used to be, if not acceptable, then winked at when the song was written. Angelina is not trying to expose toxic relationships, but only showing her musical genius. If you wish to see another of her performances where she covers a song dealing with suicide "I'm Still Holding Out For You" should be on your list. th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html Angelina is deeply committed to Hope, Faith and Charity by raising millions toward children's causes.
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance 🗣🎙
Angelina Jordan arranges this at the tender age of 8 years old as you can see takes control, this version is so much closer to the original by Screaming J Hawkins, Angelina is an amazing artist and has 160 covers and some originals too , she won Norway’s got talent aged 7 years old, and America Got Talent Angelina received the Golden Buzzer and straight to the final , Angelina now age 16 years old plays violin flute piano, and left handed guitar !
christopher Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she recorded this. She won NGT at age 8. She plays guitar right-handed: TikTok reverses the image. Get your facts straight and don't waste people's time.
Angelina is something else. Probably one of the best singers born this century. What makes her interesting is her ability to tap into emotions and express them in an authentic way. She has covered a lot of songs by well known artists and made them her own. One example is when she sings Gloomy Sunday that was made famous by Billie Holliday. She sings it in the same way as Billie did. What does a seven year old girl and a middle age girl have in common? Probably nothing. Yet Angelina is able to express the same emotion. It is a vey dark song and there is a urban legend that people have committed suicide after listening to this song. What on earth makes a seven year old girl pick this song and sing it. Most other girls her age would probably gone for something from Disney.🤔
There is definitely some subtext here about obsession and coercion, but the original artist and songwriter, Screamin' Jay Hawkins(pictured on the candle at the beginning of the video), definitely had magic in mind. He was a forerunner of the shock-rock musical genre and performed wearing the costume of an adventure movie "witch doctor," holding a skull on a stick as a prop. Angelina, at age 9 here, is taking her inspiration from his performances. Her talent does seem supernatural. Great reaction, and thanks for speaking out about mental health issues. If you'd like to enjoy a happier side of her phenomenal ability, I recommend her music video of When You're Smiling. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/w-d-xo.html
This comment is very lengthy, but it's worth getting to know the world of Angelina Jordan. Our Angelina performs in such a way as to open a window into her world, and it’s breathtaking.
Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy, who began singing at 16 months old. Her mother came home from shopping one day and heard her baby/toddler singing lyrics from a Whitney Houston song (there's even a partial home video). As a musical prodigy, Angelina taught/teaches herself how to sing. She’s had formal training in guitar and piano, but not for her voice. At most, she is critiqued on her lines. The biggest constant with Angelina Jordan is that her performances are always amazing to listen to. She visualizes how she thinks the piece should sound, and works it out until it’s exactly what she wants. Although she’s been called a vocal chameleon or the girl of a 1,000 voices, Angelina does not parrot other performer’s music. At 2, Angelina chose jazz and the blues to listen to and learn from. She’s a great consumer of the jazz and blues masters (Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, Billie Holiday, and later with Adele and Amy Winehouse). Growing up with TH-cam at her fingertips, she could listen again and again to her favorites, and work out in her head how she would sing them. At 3 years old, Angelina set her sights on performing for Simon Cowell, a dream that came true 10 years later as 13 year old Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent, The Champions (AGTC).
By 5 her parents finally relented to Angelina's wanting to singing talent shows. At 7, they again relented, and let Angelina follow her dreams onto the stage of Norway’s Got Talent auditions for Season 2014. The last audition of the day was a barefoot, snaggle-toothed, bushy haired, Angelina, who chose to sing of all things, Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" (link below). This is a song that's beyond many adult singers (link below). Omer Bhatti (a son of M. Jackson), one of the judges, said of 7 year old Angelina in a later interview “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”. She made a masterful performance of Gershwin’s “Summertime” for her final performance, with the people of Norway voting her the winner; a must see performance (see link below).
Prodigies, by their nature, aren't limited to the rules everyone else has to follow. Vocal coaches reacting to her have said that she just knows instinctually control her body to sing the music the way she wants to, even at low registers. They can identify everything she's doing; they just can't say how she's able to do it. By 15, Angelina has performed over 160 covers and has 5 originals. Regardless of the genre she sings, you may be able to pick up the dulcet tones of Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and many other artists hidden in her voice or phrasing. Angelina also doesn't approach singing as the vast majority of very talented child singers do; belting the heck out of a song from start to finish. Her songs sneak up behind and capture you with kindness, often within the first few lines. Her runs are insane but totally organic. When she wants to belt, she belts. If you doubt this, listen to her Whitney Houston Tribute where she sings "I Have Nothing”. If you listen to this performance, keep in mind that while Angelina was a 13 years old when she recorded this piece, Whitney first performed it at 29 years old.
(Continued in comment below)
christian A couple of corrections: She discovered jazz at age 3 (not 2) when she used her mother's iPad to look up favored artists on TH-cam.....Omer Bhatti is NOT Michael Jackson's son! He's the son of MJ's former housekeeper.
@@103mrg thanks for the MJ update. There were claims that he was, but in reality, he was 'like' an adopted son, with MJ being his father figure.
@@103mrg i will have to go back to the source material to confirm her age at the time. It's also possible that her memory or comments for an interview get mixed up. This was evident when she told AGTC that she won NGT at 7 rather than 8. She knew intellectually that she was 8, even if she got it wrong in the moment before performing her "Bohemian Rhapsody" audition.
@@Christian-DH The reason she got it wrong is because the producers told her to say she won NGT 2014 at age 7. (In her pre-AGT interview she also said she won at 7, and on stage, she told Heidi she won at 7.) After she told Heidi she won at 7, Heidi said: "So that means you're 13! [2020 minus 2014 plus 7 equals 13.]" How could Heidi know that, since it was actually 2019 when the exchange took place?.... Because the show was taped in 2019, but not aired until 2020, answering she won at 7 kept the important numbers (her true age when performing on AGT being 13; her winning NGT in 2014; the current date of 2020) intact and consistent.
@@103mrg Yes, I did the math and followed Heidi's remarks. Can you send me the link to the article or interview where the AGTC producers told her to say she won NGT 2014 at age 7 versus 8? I don't honestly want to misrepresent her, but I want to ensure their are source documents to go by. Can you also send me the link to the interview or article where she starts singing at 3 years of age as opposed to earlier. I will recheck my information and pin down where she's reported as starting to teach herself to sing at 2. Since she self-reported as beginning to sing with jazz, this would also be tied to that date.
