Buckeye, thank you to your wife for recommending you react to this emotional version of "I Have Nothing" by my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan. With your name, I am guessing you are from Ohio. I moved to Ohio just over 2 years ago. I greatly look forward to your reaction to "Suspicious Minds" but forecast a emotional breakdown. Please take the time to learn about Angelina from all the comments and the bio I compiled. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway. 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. 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 was near her 8th birthday 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.” 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 money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18. 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. 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 playlist now exceeds 200 songs. 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" On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes” The finance company SoFi is using Angelina’s original song “Our Time” in a commercial and the full song was uploaded on TH-cam on October 27, 2023. On November 25, 2023, Angelina attended Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. On December 11, 2023, Angelina performed at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize ceremony, when she was 8 years old. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. 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 desired to 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.
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 You have got to hear this song. This is a 'live' version of, 'Unchained Melody'. Here is the link. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS!! th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html Angelina 17 'Unchained Melody' 'LIVE' at Nobel Peace Prize Narges Mohhamadi Tribute.
@BuckeyeCreeker1 hey Buckeye for further reacts to one of the greatest vocalist to grace history, our Angelina, you will need tape for your socks and some tissues. AJ sings your soul and can break any barriers you have. Her music is very healing!
Angelina can healing ✨️💫✨️the world 🌍 with her voice 😲 and her Love ❤❤️🔥❤inside and out! And Your modesty! Your personality! Your humanity! Quality! Your Care for poor children! ❤❤😇😇👣👰♀️👸🎙🎺🎷🎻🎸🔥💥💎👋🙋♂️
This country boy is telling you, you're going to need a snot rag if you go down this rabbit hole. This lady has a way of tossing emotion up and throwing it at you.
The reason you haven't heard of Angelina before is due to her parents wanting her to finish school before any big promotional push from her record label Republic Records. She graduated last June and turned 18 just this last week. You will be hearing a lot more from her in the future.
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 , when I read that you "can't wait to hear more" of Angelina, our "Barefoot Princess," I subscribed to your channel. In fact, when her "Angels" (fans) get wind of you beginning to react to her, your subscriber base will noticeably grow, I predict! Thank you for an awesome reaction to this awesome prodigy! She was 16 the summer of 2022 when she made this video, and just turned 18 on January 10th. Born in Oslo, Norway, but living in Los Angeles since age 12. Hope you were able to read Andy Schnell's excellent mini-biography of her! Looking forward to seeing more! God bless in 2024!
I am enjoying reading the comments seeing that some has never heard of her until this reaction. I Love spreading the music to people like it was to me.
👍👍 Well dude Angelina pretty much owns this song now,, I believe they gave her the rights to do what she wants with this beautiful song that Whitney sang,,, 👣🌬🌎
Angelina Jordan is the most unpredictable artist who came onto the scene as a child prodigy by winning Norways Got Talent and who is now turned 18 the 10th of this month. She is the most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist. So much so that her international fans who like me have followed her for 9 years had no idea what last years EP OLD ENOUGH would sound like other than brilliant. At 13 years old she auditioned for AGT The Champions with her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen liked it so much they gave her the copyright to it but what you really need to watch first is her 9 year old I PUT A SPELL ON YOU. ... because then you will understand everything she did on AGT was a carefully selected choice. The Music industry may not be pushing her yet, but she's been signed with Republic since 14 and they have built her a studio and given a sequence of Grammy winners to help her turn her 100 songs in her notebooks into hits. The investment in a future hit maker.
Welcome to the world of the Barefoot Princess. Please do yourself a big favour and listen to anything and everything from Ms Jordan. (Thank you for a great reaction fella)
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out early next year. Angelina just recently released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Reading this brought tears to my eyes for real! And some of us share that same compassion for people and for music! I really appreciate fans like you! Thank you so much for this! 🤠
Great reaction. This is our Barefoot Princess from Norway. She just turned 18 on Jan. 10th. Im with you on the tears. There has only been one other person in my life that has made me shed more tears than this beautiful Angel and that's my beautiful wife when I lost her to cancer. We were married for fifty years.
Those glasses give you that cool Roy Orbison look. Being a manly man who used to jump out of helicopters and fight fires to now at 74 being able to clear out the tear ducts listening to Angelina Jordan.
I have a feeling this won't be the last tear you shed if you follow her. You may become her biggest fan! lol No one is a better story teller. She makes you feel every word, every song, at any age;) Amazing voice, amazing person;)
Got awfully tired of this song back in the nineties..... but this version by AJ reignites the passion. I enjoyed sharing in your reaction to this wonderful person with a wonderful voice. We look forward to more reactions from you. While Suspicious Minds is a great next selection (careful, more tears ahead) please do not hesitate listening to her earliest works beginning at age 6. And, don't miss her Norway's Got Talent performances at age 7/8.

If you're called Buckeye, I'm a Ohio River Guy myself. I feel you man. Angelina has the power to open your HEART. She filled a big hole, a family loss, with Million Miles...She was named correctly. ANGEL INA. Bless you man.
Welcome my fellow Buckeye! always good to have another Buckeye in here. I can't wait to react to more "Suspicious Minds" is next. Appreciate you brother! 🤠
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 Yeah between Eaton and Miamsburg. I actually grew up, you may or may not know, Greenbriar Lake on State Rd. Between Collinsville and Somerville. Through the years lived all over the map.
Go down this rabbit hole. This beautiful young lady has been singing since she could walk! She won Norways Got Talent at 7 years old. Her voice captivates the soul! She was touched by all the soul Angels during creation! Totally God given talent! Start with I put a spell on you cover, age 9!!
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 18 years old, and from Oslo in Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when they are ready. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing? I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life She has recently performed at the Nobel Prize 2023, and also performed at the FIFA AWARD, also performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones. She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on TH-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.Angelina, is the young legend! The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a artist who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do! Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where there was an audience from many different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. As usual, a vocal master piece. 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.

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.

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.

Beautiful reaction! When you’re ready, there’s a recording of her singing “Still Holding Out for You.” The lyrics were written by another artist, but Angelina composed the music for her version before the original artist recorded his own version. Her emotional depth is profound. th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AVm2VZRO8fJPyoVn
WOW! So many of you loyal fans showed up and I am trying to get to all of your comments! I need tissues for some of the comments and you all truly are angels!
Angelina Jordan is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She is our barefoot Princess of a thousand voices. The Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all.
Understand this, Angelina is absolutely fearless when it comes to her covering the best of the past and present greatest artists. Angelina adores and loves Elvis. She is friends with Priscilla. Everything having to do with her “Suspicious Minds” cover and production is an homage to Elvis’ 1968 Come Back Special. Nobody covers Adele like Angelina does. This is a rabbit hole that once you discovered Angelina you will not escape from.
AJ is a generational prodigy and will become a global, household name in the next few years. Glad you discovered her on the cusp. I love seeing men express their emotions. Wish more could show their humanity like this instead of stuff it. AJ would approve. The world would be a more loving, forgiving, peaceful place. 🙏🏼
I have been fallowing this young lady for 10 years. She is the apotome of Professional and a true pure artist. Her effect on us Angels is because she loves her ability and loves sharing that talent with others. Here she is 17, Iv seen her at age 6 singing just as powerfully and beautifully. She has the vocal control of a laser scapple and the power of a Battleship all wrapped up in a loving and talented young lady that I swear sings with the voices of Etta, Amy and Billie. You have a fun and joyful ride ahead of you Buckeye. Enjoy.

Hi, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 17 years old for this song, she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime, you are at the very beginning and I hope that you will embark on the further journey, because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world, is my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me, you will be addicted to her voice just like all the other fans (Angels), she will be too Called the barefoot angel with the 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is a different story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only written around 200 covers but also 12 originals and 2 for She wrote, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way, she is now 18 years old
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 OK, but you're going to hate me. Here she is at age 12 singing "Always On My Mind" dedicated to her paternal grandfather who had passed away just a few days earlier: th-cam.com/video/dd8r7c-4-ks/w-d-xo.html You might want to have your wife with you to hold your hand and pass you the kleenex. Angels, after seeing it for 100+ times, still tear up. It's beautiful, but difficult.
@@ShanLiBIf you want to see how courageous is this young lady, then that video is the one to watch. She puts all her love for her grandfather right out there for everyone to share.
Okay! That was worth an instant subscription!! I want first of all to thank you for your amazing, heartfelt reaction to Angelina Jordan! Angelina calls her fans her "angels", and I'm pretty sure you are on your way to becoming one. Second, I have to say: your wife has great taste! Not only in music, but in men. Yes, real men show their feelings, and I for one have cried numerous times listening to the "barefoot princess", Angelina. I'm 65, and she is easily the most versatile singer I've ever heard, and I have to say, the "best". (although art is NOT a competition!) Angelina is: an author (the youngest published author in the history of Norway), a musician who can play both piano and guitar, although she is not unbelievably proficient at either, an arranger, she has helped to arrange songs since she was very little, a songwriter, she has now a dozen original songs recorded, although she has already said that she's written over 100 at the tender age of 18 (birthday 1/10/2006), and a singer of incomparable quality. And yet, her most endearing quality to us, her fans, is the wonderful human being she is. Her priorities are in the right order: family first, music second. She has a wonderful family surrounding her who have helped to give her as normal a childhood as possible, even with her growing fame (the movers and shakers of the industry have known about her since she was 8!!) and she paid tribute to them with her original song "Shield". She cares very deeply about children especially and with appearances at various fundraisers, she has helped to raise tens of millions of dollars for the underprivileged children of the world. You will get full on biographies about her from some of the other "angels", so I will leave it at this for now. Thank you again, and I look forward very much to follow you down this fantastic "rabbit hole" that is Angelina Jordan. To you and to all of the people you love and hold dear in your life, I wish you peace, I wish you joy, and I wish you love! From Wisconsin, yours truly.
Thank you so much for your kind words and I am sold! I cannot wait to hear more from her! and all of you angels are so amazing. it is really hard to keep up but I want you all to know how much I appreciate you! 🤠
You will love the journey if you so decide. Over 200 covers and 13 originals, plus a couple of demos, which are also a must. I'm still holding out for you and Above the water. Won Norway's Got Talent at age 7/8, youngest published author at age 9, Golden Buzzer on AGT Champions and signed with Republic Records in 2020. Performs barefoot to remind her of all the less fortunate children in the world, and has help raise millions for charity. Just the beginning.
Oh yes! I need to hear more by this talented Young Lady! Someone told me she was 16 when she covered this song! I love watching talent shows with my wife and this singing is always my favorite category! Music is played everyday in our home and I can't wait to react to more by this talented young lady! 🤠
I'm right there with you. 70+ year old guy, and have shed many a tear listening to Angelina. She just shares her emotion and touches my soul. Thank you for this great reaction.
Bienvenido al maravilloso universo de Angelina Jordan, una artista única y maravillosa, con una voz prodigiosa que logra sacar todas tus emociones y trasladarte a un lugar especial....
Wait till you hear her perform Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Dec of 23 at Oslo, Norway with the KORK Orchestra. Over 1000 vocalists have recorded Unchained Melody since 1955 when it was the theme song for the movie "Unchained", but none can compare with Angelina Jordan, at 76 I was blown away and I have played it over 100 times, and I lose my breath and tear up each and every time. th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html
Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers is one of my favorite songs of all time! I cannot wait to react to it but I need to stock up on more tissues just from reading the comments! All of you are some amazing Angels! I will never forget this but first I have to react to "Suspicious Minds" coming tonight! Thank You!
She's addicting. Been an Angelina junkie for 6 years with no interest in rehab! Liked & subed for your Angelina journey, it has been life-changing for me & many others.
This was a nice reaction to Angelina! You’d better thank your wife for this intro to this most astonishing young lady. Hope you go on listening to her. 😊
"Real men show their emotions!" Amen brother. Anyone who has been touched by this girl understands where you are coming from. Your first reaction, but I think you qualify to be one of AJ's angels. Here are your 🪽s
Beautiful song. Thank you to your wife for the recommendation. I loved this song when Whitney sang it. I have never heard of this girl, but she’s got a lovely voice. It was great seeing your reaction to this song!! 💯

Not bad for a 16 year old..Whitney was 29 when she released her iconic version..I can’t wait to hear 29 year old Angelina’s version..another 13 years from here..
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. She is absolutely incredible. Here she is 16 years old performing one of the biggest songs of all time. She has been doing this for years now and never turns out a bad song. Auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at 7 years of age and went on to win the whole thing. I see Andy left you a copy of his bio, be sure to read the whole thing, it will give you a lot of background on Angelina. Subscribed and hoping you will do many more reactions of her. Thank your wife for us. Angelina calls her fans 'Her Angels', so you'll be hearing a lot from the Angels.
Nice to meet you sir. Thank you for the genuine reaction. 👍 Now..... onto "Suspicious minds " ! Trust me, keep going with Angelina. She has a video on here of her in the studio at six years old. Then you have over 200 more masterpieces to watch from 6 to 18 yrs old. All genres except hard rock. Shes the best female vocalist in the world in recent history. I guarantee it. 👍♥️
Great Reaction. Angelina won Norway's got Talent when she was seven. She started with Jazz. This beautiful song was written by Dolly Parton. Whitney Huston helped make Dolly rich!! I hope you will listen to I put a spell on you which Angelina sang at the age of 9.
Great reaction. Your wife just put you onto the best female singer out there. If you get a chance she just did Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize and if you think this was great, go and listen to that. She has many ortginal songs and over 200 covers and none are anything but unbelievable.
Awesome reaction! Many thanks to your wife for the request as well. I sincerely hope you will take a deep dive into Angelina's music, it is a magical experience. You will absolutely love Suspicious Minds.
That's Angelina's super power: bringing up emotions--including those you didn't know you even had--with the beauty of her singing voice! Welcome to the club, brother....😊
Great reaction and insight. What a beautiful tribute to your wife and to you also! Angelina has a way of bringing out emotion in everyone who listens. Here are all the basics on Angelina. Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. 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 one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, 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 when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release. Here is a detailed independent chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of most of Angelina's 200+ videos including tiktok and Instagram. www.dimlylit.net/aja/ A second more condensed TH-cam list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling 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 favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia 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 even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures 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.

You don't have to thank me, it is sent with love. As you delve into this rabbit hole, you will find that Angelina's fans, the angels, are very loving people, and it is natural because of her nature. When she was a child, She stated that her life goal was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. She is doing that and has engendered it in all of us. ❤️

As this is a REACTION CHANNEL, tears are a genuine reaction and a brave thing to own up for a gentleman. Dear co-commenter Andy Schnell is the top source in all things of Angelina Jordan.

Angelina Jordan was 16 at the time of this performance, she is a genius storytelling signature voice that has been performing on stage since she was 7 years old. There is no one in the world with as much talent.
You better to get ready because your wife is going to have you react to all of Angelina's songs which happens to be over 200 covers and original songs written by her. So, you can start at the age of 7 and go to her present age of 18 or you can jump around through her catalog of songs as you wish. Make sure you have a box of tissues because you will need them. Thanks for your reaction and we "angels" hope you do many more reactions.
I just told her last night to read some of the comments! I needed tissues for some of them! You are some of the most Loyal fans I have ever come across! You are truly angels!
Its lovely how much you love and appreciate your wife❤ and I enjoyed this reaction. Angelina also had an amazing performance for the nobel peace prize singing unchained melody.
Spellbinding. Hypnotic. Divine. Welcome to the inescapable deep AJ rabbit hole of purity & perfection. She will blast your doors off but that’s ok. Just get new doors.
Angelina Jordan is an old soul in an young body. A lot mid age people are addicted to her soulfull interpertations of old classics. She call them Angels. Angelina spred a lot love to her fans. Listen to her concerts in Kongsberg Jazz festival july 2022. Where she also performed "I Have Nothing". I think it is very good. Just my taste. Angelina Jordan's grandmother Mery filmed her very first rehersal in studio in Norway age 6 th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZPJsHExiB7WTzcJP after this she commented wishly where she was missing pitch in norwegian.
She get to us all that are open for it. Her voice hits your soul and she get your attention to listen to the story. She sings covers so you get the lyrics. I saw her at 7 in NGT(Norway Got Talent )in 2014 and i understood at once she was special. She won it getting 46% of all votes given. She had to be shown to the world. Loved your reaction. Love from a Norwegian subscriber! She is 16 here and i was at her concert in Kongsberg (Norway) and stood about 6 m from her and she sang so beautiful live. Tears came, so amazing was it. Best concert ever!
Awesome reaction brother. She’s touching a lot of souls. Thanks for the respect you show her she’s put out a ton. If you get the chance to listen to it she’s amazing enjoy the Angelina Jordan journey.!!
Buckeye, thank you to your wife for recommending you react to this emotional version of "I Have Nothing" by my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan. With your name, I am guessing you are from Ohio. I moved to Ohio just over 2 years ago. I greatly look forward to your reaction to "Suspicious Minds" but forecast a emotional breakdown. Please take the time to learn about Angelina from all the comments and the bio I compiled.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway.
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.
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 was near her 8th birthday 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.” 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 money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18.
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. 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 playlist now exceeds 200 songs.
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"
On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes”
The finance company SoFi is using Angelina’s original song “Our Time” in a commercial and the full song was uploaded on TH-cam on October 27, 2023.
On November 25, 2023, Angelina attended Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France.
On December 11, 2023, Angelina performed at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize ceremony, when she was 8 years old.
Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian.
We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change.
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 desired to 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.
Not sure where my comment went but I really appreciate you.

This lady has a way of tossing emotion up and throwing it at you.
That's for sure. Her way of emoting is unparalleled ♥♥♥
The reason you haven't heard of Angelina before is due to her parents wanting her to finish school before any big promotional push from her record label Republic Records. She graduated last June and turned 18 just this last week. You will be hearing a lot more from her in the future.
WOW! So young and full of talent! can't wait to hear more! 🤠
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 , when I read that you "can't wait to hear more" of Angelina, our "Barefoot Princess," I subscribed to your channel. In fact, when her "Angels" (fans) get wind of you beginning to react to her, your subscriber base will noticeably grow, I predict! Thank you for an awesome reaction to this awesome prodigy! She was 16 the summer of 2022 when she made this video, and just turned 18 on January 10th. Born in Oslo, Norway, but living in Los Angeles since age 12. Hope you were able to read Andy Schnell's excellent mini-biography of her! Looking forward to seeing more! God bless in 2024!
Angelina is the best kept secret in the world, but not for long. She just turned 18, and she's poised to take over the world!
I am enjoying reading the comments seeing that some has never heard of her until this reaction. I Love spreading the music to people like it was to me.
If you like this you have to listen to her rendition of Endless Love. And make sure you have a couple of boxes of tissues ❤
Not Shure how I missed you comment but Endless Love was in our wedding. I reacted to it.
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 yes I saw that. I am glad it touched you.❤️
Great pal, we should always listen to our wives! Now she owes you...Nope, no way!
Yea she said I am racking up the points! lol

Well dude Angelina pretty much owns this song now,, I believe they gave her the rights to do what she wants with this beautiful song that Whitney sang,,,
👣🌬🌎
It was truly a masterpiece and sounded brand New to me! 🤠
Angelina Jordan is the most unpredictable artist who came onto the scene as a child prodigy by winning Norways Got Talent and who is now turned 18 the 10th of this month. She is the most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist. So much so that her international fans who like me have followed her for 9 years had no idea what last years EP OLD ENOUGH would sound like other than brilliant. At 13 years old she auditioned for AGT The Champions with her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen liked it so much they gave her the copyright to it but what you really need to watch first is her 9 year old I PUT A SPELL ON YOU. ... because then you will understand everything she did on AGT was a carefully selected choice. The Music industry may not be pushing her yet, but she's been signed with Republic since 14 and they have built her a studio and given a sequence of Grammy winners to help her turn her 100 songs in her notebooks into hits. The investment in a future hit maker.
♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you for this.
Welcome to the world of the Barefoot Princess. Please do yourself a big favour and listen to anything and everything from Ms Jordan. (Thank you for a great reaction fella)
Thank you!
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out early next year. Angelina just recently released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Reading this brought tears to my eyes for real! And some of us share that same compassion for people and for music! I really appreciate fans like you! Thank you so much for this! 🤠
Welcome to Angelina’s world! This just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy.
This young lady will make you cry more than once. She is a master. Join us. Welcome to the world of the Barefoot Princess.
Not sure how I missed your comment but Thank You!
She also wrote a song "Million Miles ' about her grandfather passing . She is such a beautiful person.
I wrote this down to react to. Thank you!
Although Angelina is currently 18 years old - in this video performance, she was 16 years old.
Check out her original Million Miles. She wrote it for her Grandfather that had passed away. Everyone can relate to this song.
♥♥♥♥♥
I have that written down and cannot wait to react to it!
Great reaction. This is our Barefoot Princess from Norway. She just turned 18 on Jan. 10th. Im with you on the tears. There has only been one other person in my life that has made me shed more tears than this beautiful Angel and that's my beautiful wife when I lost her to cancer. We were married for fifty years.
Sending love ❤
So sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. My prayers are with you!
Those glasses give you that cool Roy Orbison look. Being a manly man who used to jump out of helicopters and fight fires to now at 74 being able to clear out the tear ducts listening to Angelina Jordan.
Sir, you ain't seen nothin' yet, enjoy your Angelina journey.....It' magnificent!
Thank you! Appreciate you being here for it!
I have a feeling this won't be the last tear you shed if you follow her. You may become her biggest fan! lol No one is a better story teller. She makes you feel every word, every song, at any age;) Amazing voice, amazing person;)
I totally agree with you. There is more than a fair chance that he'll fall head over heel with her. We all have, so why not, right ??
Yes I was captivated and at a loss for words! i cannot wait for more.
@@poolhallshark She already got me right in the heart!
Got awfully tired of this song back in the nineties..... but this version by AJ reignites the passion. I enjoyed sharing in your reaction to this wonderful person with a wonderful voice. We look forward to more reactions from you. While Suspicious Minds is a great next selection (careful, more tears ahead) please do not hesitate listening to her earliest works beginning at age 6. And, don't miss her Norway's Got Talent performances at age 7/8.
Right! Mainstream can overplay and ruin a song! But this was so moving to me! It sounded brand new!

If you're called Buckeye, I'm a Ohio River Guy myself. I feel you man. Angelina has the power to open your HEART. She filled a big hole, a family loss, with Million Miles...She was named correctly. ANGEL INA. Bless you man.
Welcome my fellow Buckeye! always good to have another Buckeye in here. I can't wait to react to more "Suspicious Minds" is next. Appreciate you brother! 🤠

Go down this rabbit hole. This beautiful young lady has been singing since she could walk! She won Norways Got Talent at 7 years old. Her voice captivates the soul! She was touched by all the soul Angels during creation! Totally God given talent! Start with I put a spell on you cover, age 9!!
Oh no doubt I will and Thank you for the suggestion, when I do a reaction I will give you a shout out for it! Really appreciate you! 🤠
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 18 years old, and from Oslo in Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when they are ready. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing?
I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life She has recently performed at the Nobel Prize 2023, and also performed at the FIFA AWARD, also performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones.
She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on TH-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.Angelina, is the young legend! The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a artist who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do!
Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where there was an audience from many different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA.
WOW! Thank you for this and the information! What an amazing talent she has. Appreciate you! 🤠
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. As usual, a vocal master piece.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi.
Thank you for this!
🥰🥰🥰 Amazing performance by Angelina Jordan !
Yes it was!
Beautiful reaction! When you’re ready, there’s a recording of her singing “Still Holding Out for You.” The lyrics were written by another artist, but Angelina composed the music for her version before the original artist recorded his own version. Her emotional depth is profound.

WOW! So many of you loyal fans showed up and I am trying to get to all of your comments! I need tissues for some of the comments and you all truly are angels!
I am sure you will have a great time listening to Angelina she is one of a kind...as you will learn from all the Angels (her fans)
I Love that Angels! I need more of this!!! Thank You!🤠
Most versitile singer I ever heard
I can't wait to hear and react to more!
Indeed. She has performed in at least 8 different genres so far, and absolutely NAILED all of it ♥♥♥
@@poolhallshark including " garage " ( garage may be a UK thing )
@@rjopis Hi Tom! I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean ??
@@poolhallshark well " garage " with elements of r&b is a genre of music in the uk .and as angelina performs quite often in a garage . 🥳😂
Angelina Jordan is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She is our barefoot Princess of a thousand voices. The Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all.
I agree and cannot wait to react to more.
Ah, Whitney!!!
Angelina Jordan is the best singer ever. A prodigy and genius.
Lol
What a tribute to WH !!!
Yes it was!
Understand this, Angelina is absolutely fearless when it comes to her covering the best of the past and present greatest artists. Angelina adores and loves Elvis. She is friends with Priscilla. Everything having to do with her “Suspicious Minds” cover and production is an homage to Elvis’ 1968 Come Back Special.
Nobody covers Adele like Angelina does.
This is a rabbit hole that once you discovered Angelina you will not escape from.
AJ is a generational prodigy and will become a global, household name in the next few years. Glad you discovered her on the cusp.
I love seeing men express their emotions. Wish more could show their humanity like this instead of stuff it. AJ would approve. The world would be a more loving, forgiving, peaceful place. 🙏🏼
I agree with you so much! I do wear my heart on my sleeve and this was amazing and touched my heart and soul.
A strong woman that loves you unconditionally is priceless ❤️
I agree!
I have been fallowing this young lady for 10 years. She is the apotome of Professional and a true pure artist. Her effect on us Angels is because she loves her ability and loves sharing that talent with others. Here she is 17, Iv seen her at age 6 singing just as powerfully and beautifully. She has the vocal control of a laser scapple and the power of a Battleship all wrapped up in a loving and talented young lady that I swear sings with the voices of Etta, Amy and Billie. You have a fun and joyful ride ahead of you Buckeye. Enjoy.
Thank You! appreciate you!
W. Houston has found her match!! …Angelina is her equal in every way and the best for me!! ✨💎✨ Thank You
Surely you jest!
@@charl1121 ... 😂 I'm always amazed at how arrogant people are!! ... Maybe you'll live to see Angelina surpass WH! ...Because she SURELY will!! …And then we can talk about it again!
@AAndromeda-lw7fh AJ is really good, but many have better ranges and Whitney surpassed, lol! Ok!!!
Angelina hits us all in the feels, listening to her really heals my soul

Thank you for this!
She did a song to tribute her Grandfather that passed away like your mother "Million Miles". AJ's song comforted me when I lost my younger Sister.
Hi, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. she was 17 years old for this song, she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime, you are at the very beginning and I hope that you will embark on the further journey, because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world, is my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me, you will be addicted to her voice just like all the other fans (Angels), she will be too Called the barefoot angel with the 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is a different story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only written around 200 covers but also 12 originals and 2 for She wrote, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way, she is now 18 years old
Great comment 🙂 But Angelina was just 16 here 😉😊
Thank you for this!
Your wife has great taste in music. Also, she must love you very much.
Yes she does and yes she does! I need more suggestions by her because this was Magical and touching! 🤠
@@BuckeyeCreeker1 OK, but you're going to hate me. Here she is at age 12 singing "Always On My Mind" dedicated to her paternal grandfather who had passed away just a few days earlier: th-cam.com/video/dd8r7c-4-ks/w-d-xo.html
You might want to have your wife with you to hold your hand and pass you the kleenex. Angels, after seeing it for 100+ times, still tear up. It's beautiful, but difficult.

@@dojoswitzer I know. I've watched more than 100 times after seeing it for the first time in 2018. That's why I recommended it to him.
Okay! That was worth an instant subscription!! I want first of all to thank you for your amazing, heartfelt reaction to Angelina Jordan! Angelina calls her fans her "angels", and I'm pretty sure you are on your way to becoming one. Second, I have to say: your wife has great taste! Not only in music, but in men. Yes, real men show their feelings, and I for one have cried numerous times listening to the "barefoot princess", Angelina. I'm 65, and she is easily the most versatile singer I've ever heard, and I have to say, the "best". (although art is NOT a competition!) Angelina is: an author (the youngest published author in the history of Norway), a musician who can play both piano and guitar, although she is not unbelievably proficient at either, an arranger, she has helped to arrange songs since she was very little, a songwriter, she has now a dozen original songs recorded, although she has already said that she's written over 100 at the tender age of 18 (birthday 1/10/2006), and a singer of incomparable quality. And yet, her most endearing quality to us, her fans, is the wonderful human being she is. Her priorities are in the right order: family first, music second. She has a wonderful family surrounding her who have helped to give her as normal a childhood as possible, even with her growing fame (the movers and shakers of the industry have known about her since she was 8!!) and she paid tribute to them with her original song "Shield". She cares very deeply about children especially and with appearances at various fundraisers, she has helped to raise tens of millions of dollars for the underprivileged children of the world. You will get full on biographies about her from some of the other "angels", so I will leave it at this for now. Thank you again, and I look forward very much to follow you down this fantastic "rabbit hole" that is Angelina Jordan. To you and to all of the people you love and hold dear in your life, I wish you peace, I wish you joy, and I wish you love! From Wisconsin, yours truly.

Thank you so much for your kind words and I am sold! I cannot wait to hear more from her! and all of you angels are so amazing. it is really hard to keep up but I want you all to know how much I appreciate you! 🤠
You will love the journey if you so decide. Over 200 covers and 13 originals, plus a couple of demos, which are also a must. I'm still holding out for you and Above the water. Won Norway's Got Talent at age 7/8, youngest published author at age 9, Golden Buzzer on AGT Champions and signed with Republic Records in 2020. Performs barefoot to remind her of all the less fortunate children in the world, and has help raise millions for charity. Just the beginning.
Oh yes! I need to hear more by this talented Young Lady! Someone told me she was 16 when she covered this song! I love watching talent shows with my wife and this singing is always my favorite category! Music is played everyday in our home and I can't wait to react to more by this talented young lady! 🤠
I'm right there with you. 70+ year old guy, and have shed many a tear listening to Angelina. She just shares her emotion and touches my soul. Thank you for this great reaction.
She has knocked my socks off since she was 6 years old. She has changed the way I listen to music. You must listen to more
Bienvenido al maravilloso universo de Angelina Jordan, una artista única y maravillosa, con una voz prodigiosa que logra sacar todas tus emociones y trasladarte a un lugar especial....
Wait till you hear her perform Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Dec of 23 at Oslo, Norway with the KORK Orchestra. Over 1000 vocalists have recorded Unchained Melody since 1955 when it was the theme song for the movie "Unchained", but none can compare with Angelina Jordan, at 76 I was blown away and I have played it over 100 times, and I lose my breath and tear up each and every time. th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html
Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers is one of my favorite songs of all time! I cannot wait to react to it but I need to stock up on more tissues just from reading the comments! All of you are some amazing Angels! I will never forget this but first I have to react to "Suspicious Minds" coming tonight! Thank You!
The singing Goddess❤❤❤❤❤
Her tone is so freakin rich ❤️ and her breath control... oooh wow.... her vibrato is incredible 👍❤️ that ending.... so beautiful ❤️
She's addicting. Been an Angelina junkie for 6 years with no interest in rehab! Liked & subed for your Angelina journey, it has been life-changing for me & many others.
Thank you so much and cannot wait to react to more.
This was a nice reaction to Angelina! You’d better thank your wife for this intro to this most astonishing young lady. Hope you go on listening to her. 😊
Yes I am going to react more to requests from My wife! We Love watching talent shows together and music is played everyday in our home! 🤠
"Real men show their emotions!" Amen brother.

Thank you so much and I am really happy I am not alone in the Big Baby Mens Club! This touched me to the core! 🤠
Beautiful song. Thank you to your wife for the recommendation. I loved this song when Whitney sang it. I have never heard of this girl, but she’s got a lovely voice. It was great seeing your reaction to this song!! 💯
RIGHT! I never heard of her until now and cannot wait to the Elvis song! Thank you for support and watching me cry like a baby! lol
You are in for a treat! Aj has hundreds of covers and about 18 originals that she has done (if I messed up the number, someone will correct me).
@@livingLgeI think we are at 12 originals by her (7 this year), 3 written for her, and many she reimagined (like Suspicious Minds).

Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. She is absolutely incredible. Here she is 16 years old performing one of the biggest songs of all time. She has been doing this for years now and never turns out a bad song. Auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at 7 years of age and went on to win the whole thing. I see Andy left you a copy of his bio, be sure to read the whole thing, it will give you a lot of background on Angelina. Subscribed and hoping you will do many more reactions of her. Thank your wife for us. Angelina calls her fans 'Her Angels', so you'll be hearing a lot from the Angels.
I really Love this! Y'all are angels! 🤠
You are absolutely right, grown men do show emotions, especially when you listen to Angelina. I'm 66 and I cry alot when I listen to her music.
You and your wife make a wonderful couple 🙂

Great Reaction. Angelina won Norway's got Talent when she was seven. She started with Jazz. This beautiful song was written by Dolly Parton. Whitney Huston helped make Dolly rich!! I hope you will listen to I put a spell on you which Angelina sang at the age of 9.
Her first audition on Norway's Got Talent was made when she was just 7. However, she had just turned 8 by the time she won 🙂
Great reaction. Your wife just put you onto the best female singer out there. If you get a chance she just did Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize and if you think this was great, go and listen to that. She has many ortginal songs and over 200 covers and none are anything but unbelievable.
Thank you so much and ready for more. reaction coming tonight when I get home from work!

Thank you Baby! Thank you for supporting me in what I do. 🤠
Great reaction and insight. What a beautiful tribute to your wife and to you also! Angelina has a way of bringing out emotion in everyone who listens. Here are all the basics on Angelina.
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. 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 one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, 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 when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release.
Here is a detailed independent chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of most of Angelina's 200+ videos including tiktok and Instagram.

A second more condensed TH-cam list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling 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 favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia 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 even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures 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.

You don't have to thank me, it is sent with love. As you delve into this rabbit hole, you will find that Angelina's fans, the angels, are very loving people, and it is natural because of her nature. When she was a child, She stated that her life goal was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. She is doing that and has engendered it in all of us. ❤️

Sir, first and foremost, welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Every fan, she calls us her angels, had tears in their eyes when listening to one of her songs, multiple times. As this is a REACTION CHANNEL, tears are a genuine reaction and a brave thing to own up for a gentleman. Dear co-commenter Andy Schnell is the top source in all things of Angelina Jordan.
You sir, be safe and happy, respectful greetings to your wife.
Elmar from Germany
Angelina Jordan was 16 at the time of this performance, she is a genius storytelling signature voice that has been performing on stage since she was 7 years old. There is no one in the world with as much talent.
Thank you for this and for being a loyal fan!
You better to get ready because your wife is going to have you react to all of Angelina's songs which happens to be over 200 covers and original songs written by her. So, you can start at the age of 7 and go to her present age of 18 or you can jump around through her catalog of songs as you wish. Make sure you have a box of tissues because you will need them. Thanks for your reaction and we "angels" hope you do many more reactions.
I just told her last night to read some of the comments! I needed tissues for some of them! You are some of the most Loyal fans I have ever come across! You are truly angels!
Its lovely how much you love and appreciate your wife❤ and I enjoyed this reaction. Angelina also had an amazing performance for the nobel peace prize singing unchained melody.
Thank you so much and there really are good men and women still in this world! Thank you so much!
Spellbinding. Hypnotic. Divine. Welcome to the inescapable deep AJ rabbit hole of purity & perfection. She will blast your doors off but that’s ok. Just get new doors.
I agree with you! What an amazing talent and beautiful soul!
Angelina Jordan is an old soul in an young body. A lot mid age people are addicted to her soulfull interpertations of old classics. She call them Angels. Angelina spred a lot love to her fans. Listen to her concerts in Kongsberg Jazz festival july 2022. Where she also performed "I Have Nothing". I think it is very good. Just my taste. Angelina Jordan's grandmother Mery filmed her very first rehersal in studio in Norway age 6 th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZPJsHExiB7WTzcJP after this she commented wishly where she was missing pitch in norwegian.
You might play her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" to your wife. The person who joined is her Grandmother Mery in the car.
she is sooooooooooooooo beauitful
She get to us all that are open for it. Her voice hits your soul and she get your attention to listen to the story. She sings covers so you get the lyrics. I saw her at 7 in NGT(Norway Got Talent )in 2014 and i understood at once she was special. She won it getting 46% of all votes given. She had to be shown to the world. Loved your reaction. Love from a Norwegian subscriber! She is 16 here and i was at her concert in Kongsberg (Norway) and stood about 6 m from her and she sang so beautiful live. Tears came, so amazing was it. Best concert ever!
She is truly amazing! Cannot wait to hear and react to more
13:42 Thank you for this great reaction. Every cover is an upgrade and every new song is a new favourite.
Awesome reaction brother. She’s touching a lot of souls. Thanks for the respect you show her she’s put out a ton. If you get the chance to listen to it she’s amazing enjoy the Angelina Jordan journey.!!
