At around 10 yrs of age, How Great Thou Art and around 13 - 14, Suspicious Minds and I think about a week or 2 later her AGT Champions performance in 2020 - Bohemian Rhapsody. I take it you seen from the other comments, you see that Angelina turned 18 yesterday.

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
a Very Honest Answer. She is a Child Prodigy. You should see "Bohemian Rhapsody" and her EP "Old Enough". She will Blow you away. She has done so many covers and she blows the Original away. Screamin Jay Hawkins was the original singer of this in 1956.
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.
After Billie Holliday and Amy Winehouse, Miss Angelina refreshed music, especially Jazz, by mixing genres in her new EP and the following song. But to a lot of us and producers, singers, voal coaches etc. she is now the new Queen of Jazz. You, Lady have a pleasant weekend. Elmar from Germany
Normal reaction for what is considered by many to be the best musical talent since the passing of Aretha and Amy, thanks BYB, good life and music..Massimo
Now it's time to get to work on more Angelina reactions. I would say that Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13, After that you should go back to where it all started when she was 7 on Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday and George Gershwin's Summertime. After that, you will have been deluged by her fans with info on her and song recommendations. GOOD LUCK PS. You will also find your subscriber numbers will increase substantially
And just to complete my earlier comment, yes you are right..Angelina is a phenomenal singer…there is more than 200 hundred covers and originals from her on TH-cam…
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina. “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. ♥👣👸🏻🎷 What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru TH-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She recently dropped Her EP 'Old Enough' which includes 6 original tracks. She has been indicating she will be releasing another EP of originals by Christmas. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣👸🏻

Welcome to what we "Angels, Angelina supporters, call the "rabbit hole". Angelina was born January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway. Her family moved to LA in 2018 to support Angelina's dream of bringing her voice to the world. What does she sound like now? (2023) Angelina performed "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony (th-cam.com/video/wqJgZFMXEFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=i0m0xYJH2CggnA99). Angelina, while still young, has recorded around 200 covers and 11 original songs. She often arranges, or rearranges, each song. Good luck in this new year and the Angelina Jordan journey.
AJ just had a birthday yesterday and turned 18. Recently she was invited to her hometown of Oslo to perform at the Nobel Prize concert where she sang "Unchained Melody"'.
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 17 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!
OMG. I love me some Billie Holiday. Yes, I did noticed she was barefoot but it wasn't anything that stood out. Now, since I know the backstory, it makes her all the more interesting to me! Much appreciated and thank you for the information.
It is 9 years ago because she was 9 years at the time and she just became 18. This is the one and only time you will hear her growl like this. Not that she needs it to be increddible. I truely hope you follow the Angelina rabbithole. She will honestly change your life. And yes she is even better now. She is among the best singers there is at this point in my opinion. The more you learn about Angelina the more you will be amazed
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan Journey. Here you will find all the music you have been missing in this modern age but thats about to change. AJ underground..eh.. more like up in the tower under lock and key until its her time to be set free and change music forever for the better of all. Guess what yesterday she just turned 18 and the final key has been given and this girls is ready and the rest of the industry is not gonna know what hit them. Her summer release of her 6 song Ep, Old Enough, are only 6 out of 100 song she has written. She was signed to Republic (Drake, Ariana, Taylor, Post...) at 14 yo and recently Republic built her her own private studio. 2 channels, 12 years and over 200+ song going back over the last hundred years. 😉 ENJOY
Yep, she's phenomenal now and she has been ever since she appeared on the scene. The first full recording I'm aware of is when she was 6 years of age, but she was also recorded when she was 1,5 years old (and she mentioned that age herself when she was asked when she started to sing). I guess everything else to know about Angelina "for starters" has been commented already... Great reaction -- and I hope you will continue checking out Angelina Jordan's masterful performances! Love from Germany
My story about our Angelina - In the spring of 2005 many of the great singers in the hereafter gathered around the Almighty to voice their concern that their music was dying out on earth. The Almighty listened, and heard, and replied that they would take care of this. The singers said "But how? Our genres are so varied." Billie, Elvis, Freddie, Etta, Ella, Amy, Louie, Nina, Frank, Whitney, and so many others. The Almighty replied "Have faith! We are the Almighty." 9 months later on 10 January 2006 Angelina Jordan Astar was born with music in her soul and love in her heart, grabbed a mic, and the Almighty smiled as they fulfilled their promise.
Judging from your comments regarding the state of today’s pop music culture I think I can safely say you will be doing yourself a favor if you delve more deeply into the catalog of this musical genius. I can promise, you won’t be disappointed. For over ten years now she’s been conquering the world one heart at a time. She’s a once in a century talent.
I'm still holding out for you" The song that you're trying to remember is " Now I'm the Fool" . This child prodigy has so many incredible covers you'll have to dive into the rabbit hole to hear them all. You will enjoy the ride!
She's not underground, already an international Star with more than 200 Songs on YT and 12 own written Songs. Just turned 18y last Wednesday. Now ready working more for her career. Please check her latest EP Old enough with her own music and the Single Our Time ✌️
Another one of Angelina's angels here. Please take the time to read the comments. You will get much information on this extraordinary individual. Love and peace and please continue to support Angelina.
Screamin Jay Hawkins was the original singer of this in 1956. Angelina aranged this herself after listening to the original. The band, which she has worked with several of the members since this, affectionately referred to her as "The Boss" because she knew exactly what she wanted, and how she wanted it done. Angelina entered "Norway's Got Talent" at the age of 7, and won it all (not a kids version of the show) just after turning 8. She just turned 18 on Jan 10. and was signed by Republic Records at the age of 14 under her conditions. One of them being that she couldn't be promoted until she was out of school. Now that she has graduated and turned 18, we expect a lot more from her. Her latest EP (last fall) was aptly titled "Old Enough" and all 6 songs are fire. I will leave a list of some songs I feel are not to be missed, along with her age at the time, and a brief description and the links. If you decide to take this journey, you will have a LOT of info and requests from her 'Angels'.

Great playlist...personally I love her rendition of 'billy jean' and "fly me to the moon' but I like older music in general...her cover of of 'rather go blind' made me almost cry....
To be honest I who have nothing was the most impressive because of the the age...listening to a child singing rolling in the deep...or covering Whitney Houston at 18 months old...born to sing...
She's only just turned 18 on the 10th of this month. Interested in what she sounds like?... You would have to compare 3 very different recent songs age 17. Her EP OLD Enough the tracks are each different genre mixes NOW IM THE FOOL has a black and white mv. Same EP totally different GOOD IN GOODBYES then very different again ..her Nobel Peace Prize performance of UNCHAINED MELODY. If you react to all three as a trio you will get a little idea of her versitiliy.
Thank you for your good reaction. The original artist is Screaming Jay Hawkins. You see his picture on the candle at the beginning. Angelina was 9 years old when she recorded this song. It was self arrangend in the style of SJ Hawkins. Angelina celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday (10th). The last single was for SoFi. „Our time“. In December she sang at the Nobel Peace Price „unchained Melody“. Now you will be flooded with infotmations by the fanbase, her Angels.
9 years old ! Child prodigy infused with jazz in her DNA since she was two years old ! Angelina just turned 18 yesterday and is becoming an international superstar as she becomes a young adult. Enjoy the over 250 covers and originals by Angelina. Her catalog is absolutely huge and every one of them is amazing. She won Norway Got talent at eight years old and hasn't stopped since. Enjoy the journey as we all have. All our fans are known as angels and Angelina is known as the barefoot princess as she always performs in bare feet. Thank you for reacting her and I hope you enjoy the journey as we all have. Thank you 👍🇨🇦❤️
Angelina is everybody’s hope for future music. She can sing anything, any genre, covers (which she arranges herself) and originals. She has been singing since she was a baby and has now just reached 18.
Original singer Screamin Jay Hawkins, about 1955. That's his picture on the candle Angelina holds up before the song starts. She wrote the arrangement, too.
Ms. Jordan began practicing singing for four to six hours a day starting at five years old, to perfect her tone and technique. By the time of this performance at nine, she was well on her way to masterclass level. Ms. Jordan is one of the most documented humans of our era, her growth and development has lead to much speculation on the “how is this possible thinking”, but then comes the realization that prodigies have always been among us. I can only say I count myself fortunate to be witness to what Ms. Jordan has accomplished in the past and what she will create in the future. Rb
She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 7-8 singing Billie Holliday. She is our internet baby and the jazz queen. She has like 200 covers all different from Elvis to Whitney and everyone else.

She just sang at the Nobel peace prize ceremony. I cant believe you never heard of her. Her first song on here is when she was six. She turned 18 yesterday ! Angelina is the best female vocalist on the planet.
NoooPeee! She was 18 months "on here" at YT when doing a Whitney. Its in a not Eng texted docu and it´s at 1.53 minutes she starts singing here at th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html... To bad the docu is not texted in English. Have fun!
Yeah, this is the first time I've heard of her and it was due to another viewer leaving a comment on my channel, telling me I should check her out and I wouldn't be disappointed. From reading all the comments on this vid about her life, she seems more interesting to me and I am going to check out more of her work.
BYB, thanks for your first reaction to my all time favorite musical artist and remarkable human, Angelina Jordan Astar. She was near her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this 1956 classic by Screamin Jay Hawkins, then took control of the studio and musicians, who lovingly called her 'the boss'. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled, which only scratches the surface. 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.
😮I don't even know how to reply to your comment. There's a lot to unpack here. She does seem like a remarkable person and I will def check out more of her work! Thank you again!
Great reaction, BYB! Angelina Jordan Astar just celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday, Jan 10th. She was 9 years old when she recorded this, her own arrangement based on the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. She pays homage to Screamin' Jay by holding a candle with his photo on it at the beginning of the video. She's been singing since she was eighteen months old and performs barefoot after giving her shoes to a shoeless girl she met in the Middle East. In addition to this performance , I think everyone should hear her America's Got Talent performance of Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
Nice reaction, I saw when the surprise set in! Something special about this young lady, surprise in everything you will see her perform. Lots and lots of surprises here, she has an extensive library all with surprises
Thank you so much for your first reaction to Angelina. From what you said about your music preferences, I can tell you will very much enjoy your trip through the wonderful world of Angelina.
Fantastic Reaction Here.!!! We Thank UUU - Very Nice. Must See Her Ms. Angelgina Perform the Song Cover of "Unchained Melody" - Above World Class Everything in one. Look for the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony on December 11th, in Oslo, Norway.!!! Please React to this Song.!!! Massive Must Here... U - See - Not Kidding - Happy Loving Smiles Forever.!!!

Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me. Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Phenomenal is RIGHT!! Usually we suggest chronological, but go for the most recent. Performance " Unchained Melody" at the Noble Peace Prize Ceremony. She has performed Unchained Melody many times since she was 9. This is a special, solemn performance due to her honoring Narges Mohammadi who is in a Iranian prison serving 31 years. Narges' Children were there, who are Angelina's age to receive the award for their Mother. Angelina's grandma, Mery Zamani is Iranian, so this was a special honor for AJ. Especially the verse in the song" I'll be coming home, wait for Me". th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Co5bY78d2M0aVIQ9
l checked out your other reactions from your channel. I think we share the same page. Lot of Tom McDonald. Now a days l Listen to Tom, Laufey and first and foremost for the last 6 years Angelina Jordan. I think with your sense of humor, you might like Norm McDonald " 12 minute joke".
@@MICHAELASHER. Looks like we probably do have much in common! I"m all for listening to artists who are new to me and older music as well as mostly, everything else. Norm MacDonald isn't really one comic I've listened to. He was on SNL at one point, right? But I'll check it out!
Great 1st reaction to Angelina! She was 9 years 2 months old here, doing her OWN arrangement 🙂 I have been following her since she auditioned on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 (she won at age 8), and yesterday she turned 18 (January 10th). So you understand that this video wasn't uploaded when the performance took place 🙂 Keep reacting to her and learn why I think that she is the very best female singer in the world. SHE will make you have hope for the future of music, no doubt 🙂 I have subscribed to your channel for more reactions to her. I guess your recommendations was for "Now I'm The Fool" which she performed at age 16. It is one of 6 songs on her July 21st 2023 EP called "Old Enough". It is a very good recommendation for you to get a feel for the older Angelina. She was 17 when the EP was released, but the recordings were all done when she was around 16,5. She has more than 200 covers out on TH-cam, but I guarantee you that you won't find a single one that you'd label sub par, as that one simply doesn't exist. You'll see. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year, and I hope to see you again very soon 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Yes, 'Now I'm the Fool' was recommended and that was going to be next on my list. Now, with so many suggestions, I'm wondering if I do need to start from the very, very beginning.
@@bybshenanigans That's actually a very good idea. I'd start with her very first time in a recording booth, performing "I Who Have Nothing" when she was 6 years old. Then I highly recommend that you find her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent. She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7, whereas she had just turned 8 in the last three. Those three, in order, are "I'm A Fool To Want You", also by Billie Holiday (Billie is Angelina's biggest idol, and she has said in interviews that if there had been no Billie, there would be no Angelina). Then "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra and finally George Gershwin's "Summertime" in the finals. She was inspired by Louis Armstrong's rendition of it, you can hear it in her HEAVY vibrato. Louis is another of Angelina's biggest idols. She went on to win the whole competition with a whopping 46% of the total votes in the final. But I have to say, like I said in my initial comment as well, that Angelina is ANY reactor's dream, as she simply has NO sub par performances, as you will see. Not many artists you can say that about after 200+ performances. She is SPECIAL. I'm looking forward to see you take a dive, preferably a deep one 😉

Hey BYB I noticed there is no "Thumbs Up Button" to click on, maybe it's on my end, but your channel will suffer if you don't have one. NICE JOB, AND THANK YOU!
i watched about 30 to 40 reactors to this video nobody even mentioned a childlike voice and i guess if you´d only had the audio without any video or picture or thumbnail you would´nt have heard any childvoice but otherwise great reaction
Outside of us dedicated "Angels" and the music industry itself, Angelina remains largely unknown to the general public. And a reactor can react in any way they see fit.
I personally know people who've never heard of her. She's a new artist to me, therefore, I'd rather step in blind than know everything there is to know, and I love receiving information from others about topics, people, ect. which helps expand my knowledge base :)
@@bybshenanigans I've would have spoken to at least 30 people over the last 5 years about AJ and not one has heard of her. And stepping in blind is the best way to fully appreciate an artist unknown to you. Enjoy the ride 😃. BTW: this is one of my favourite Angie efforts (12 yo): "Stay". th-cam.com/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NZfwD5nzfiSigcim

There's a bunch! Rusty Shackleford has a channel that has 200 videos of all her songs! No, not a typo 200 plus now. Thank God her family was so camera happy! There's even a 10-15 second video at 18 months old, holding a mic and listening to Whitney Houston! Three I would recommend just to get you started. At around 10 yrs of age, How Great Thou Art and around 13 - 14, Suspicious Minds and I think about a week or 2 later her AGT Champions performance in 2020 - Bohemian Rhapsody. I take it you seen from the other comments, you see that Angelina turned 18 yesterday.
11 MILLION VIEWS & COUNTING...Enjoyed your reaction! I have a feeling I 'll see you on the flipside....you have no idea, what a marvelous journey you have ahead...IF the responses, views & likes impress you...one more song, and you'll see why her fan base is GLOBAL 😉🎙️💥🎙️PEACE!!!
Subscribed…anyone that reacts to Angelina Jordan will have my subscription to the channel..Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👏👍
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Ohh! I missed that in the video. At that age, she already knew the sound she wanted?! That's amazing!
Welcome to the rabbit hole. You're in for a wonderful ride. New sub. Great reaction.
Hello from Norway. I gave you a like and a sub, I want to follow you on your Angelina Jordan-journey. It will be fun!
a Very Honest Answer. She is a Child Prodigy. You should see "Bohemian Rhapsody" and her EP "Old Enough". She will Blow you away. She has done so many covers and she blows the Original away.
Screamin Jay Hawkins was the original singer of this in 1956.
❤😊
Welcome to the AJ rabbit hole.
You’re going to get so many comments from all the “angels”. 😂
Pure musical Dynamite !!!
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.
After Billie Holliday and Amy Winehouse, Miss Angelina refreshed music, especially Jazz, by mixing genres in her new EP and the following song. But to a lot of us and producers, singers, voal coaches etc. she is now the new Queen of Jazz.
You, Lady have a pleasant weekend.
Elmar from Germany
Thank you and you as well!
Welcome to the Angelina’s world.
I hope you doing more.
I plan on it!
Normal reaction for what is considered by many to be the best musical talent since the passing of Aretha and Amy, thanks BYB, good life and music..Massimo
Masterpiece
Now it's time to get to work on more Angelina reactions. I would say that Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13, After that you should go back to where it all started when she was 7 on Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday and George Gershwin's Summertime. After that, you will have been deluged by her fans with info on her and song recommendations. GOOD LUCK
PS. You will also find your subscriber numbers will increase substantially
And just to complete my earlier comment, yes you are right..Angelina is a phenomenal singer…there is more than 200 hundred covers and originals from her on TH-cam…
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina.
“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. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru TH-cam of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She recently dropped Her EP 'Old Enough' which includes 6 original tracks. She has been indicating she will be releasing another EP of originals by Christmas.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed.
She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣👸🏻
Loved your reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖

Angelina Jordan was 9 yrs old, Angelina just turn 18... Her newest song is - Now I'm The Fool - Its fire! Great reaction BYB...
Her newest original song is ‘Our Time’ but she released 7 new songs in 2023, including Now I’m The Fool.
Welcome to what we "Angels, Angelina supporters, call the "rabbit hole". Angelina was born January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway. Her family moved to LA in 2018 to
support Angelina's dream of bringing her voice to the world. What does she sound like now? (2023) Angelina performed "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace
Prize Ceremony (th-cam.com/video/wqJgZFMXEFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=i0m0xYJH2CggnA99). Angelina, while still young, has recorded around 200 covers and 11 original songs.
She often arranges, or rearranges, each song. Good luck in this new year and the Angelina Jordan journey.
Seems like this angela might be a star one day if she keeps this up .
AJ just had a birthday yesterday and turned 18. Recently she was invited to her hometown of Oslo to perform at the Nobel Prize concert where she sang "Unchained Melody"'.
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 17 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!
OMG. I love me some Billie Holiday.
Yes, I did noticed she was barefoot but it wasn't anything that stood out. Now, since I know the backstory, it makes her all the more interesting to me! Much appreciated and thank you for the information.
It is 9 years ago because she was 9 years at the time and she just became 18. This is the one and only time you will hear her growl like this. Not that she needs it to be increddible. I truely hope you follow the Angelina rabbithole. She will honestly change your life. And yes she is even better now. She is among the best singers there is at this point in my opinion. The more you learn about Angelina the more you will be amazed
I will def check out more of her stuff!
She is not underground anymore. She is arguably the best singer in the last 30 years or more
Yes, I see that now. lol. Soo many comments with a lot of information about her and recommendations about other songs I should check out.
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan Journey. Here you will find all the music you have been missing in this modern age but thats about to change. AJ underground..eh.. more like up in the tower under lock and key until its her time to be set free and change music forever for the better of all. Guess what yesterday she just turned 18 and the final key has been given and this girls is ready and the rest of the industry is not gonna know what hit them. Her summer release of her 6 song Ep, Old Enough, are only 6 out of 100 song she has written. She was signed to Republic (Drake, Ariana, Taylor, Post...) at 14 yo and recently Republic built her her own private studio.
2 channels, 12 years and over 200+ song going back over the last hundred years. 😉 ENJOY
Yep, she's phenomenal now and she has been ever since she appeared on the scene. The first full recording I'm aware of is when she was 6 years of age, but she was also recorded when she was 1,5 years old (and she mentioned that age herself when she was asked when she started to sing). I guess everything else to know about Angelina "for starters" has been commented already... Great reaction -- and I hope you will continue checking out Angelina Jordan's masterful performances!
Love from Germany
Thank you and I do plan on checking out more of her work!
My story about our Angelina - In the spring of 2005 many of the great singers in the hereafter gathered around the Almighty to voice their concern that their music was dying out on earth. The Almighty listened, and heard, and replied that they would take care of this. The singers said "But how? Our genres are so varied." Billie, Elvis, Freddie, Etta, Ella, Amy, Louie, Nina, Frank, Whitney, and so many others. The Almighty replied "Have faith! We are the Almighty." 9 months later on 10 January 2006 Angelina Jordan Astar was born with music in her soul and love in her heart, grabbed a mic, and the Almighty smiled as they fulfilled their promise.
Judging from your comments regarding the state of today’s pop music culture I think I can safely say you will be doing yourself a favor if you delve more deeply into the catalog of this musical genius. I can promise, you won’t be disappointed. For over ten years now she’s been conquering the world one heart at a time. She’s a once in a century talent.
So happy that you could still hear the child in her voice.
Her rabbit hole is so deep it will take you years to explore it.
I'm still holding out for you" The song that you're trying to remember is " Now I'm the Fool" . This child prodigy has so many incredible covers you'll have to dive into the rabbit hole to hear them all. You will enjoy the ride!
Thank you and I think I will!
She's not underground, already an international Star with more than 200 Songs on YT and 12 own written Songs. Just turned 18y last Wednesday. Now ready working more for her career. Please check her latest EP Old enough with her own music and the Single Our Time ✌️
Bohemian Rhapsody next!
Another one of Angelina's angels here. Please take the time to read the comments. You will get much information on this extraordinary individual. Love and peace and please continue to support Angelina.
Oh yes! I'm going through them as we speak and there's soooooooo much information! I'm overwhelmed and thankful for all of it!
Screamin Jay Hawkins was the original singer of this in 1956. Angelina aranged this herself after listening to the original. The band, which she has worked with several of the members since this, affectionately referred to her as "The Boss" because she knew exactly what she wanted, and how she wanted it done. Angelina entered "Norway's Got Talent" at the age of 7, and won it all (not a kids version of the show) just after turning 8. She just turned 18 on Jan 10. and was signed by Republic Records at the age of 14 under her conditions. One of them being that she couldn't be promoted until she was out of school. Now that she has graduated and turned 18, we expect a lot more from her. Her latest EP (last fall) was aptly titled "Old Enough" and all 6 songs are fire. I will leave a list of some songs I feel are not to be missed, along with her age at the time, and a brief description and the links. If you decide to take this journey, you will have a LOT of info and requests from her 'Angels'. (her name for her fans) They will fill you in on why she has sung barefoot since she was 7 and many more things that will let you know just how humble and caring she is. Thank you for this, I am subscribing for more Angelina. Hers are the only reactions I watch. If you would like to browse, I have 3 playlists for her on my TH-cam page with all versions of everything I could find.

Great playlist...personally I love her rendition of 'billy jean' and "fly me to the moon' but I like older music in general...her cover of of 'rather go blind' made me almost cry....
Wow! What a list! Thank you so much. There's a lot to check out here!!
To be honest I who have nothing was the most impressive because of the the age...listening to a child singing rolling in the deep...or covering Whitney Houston at 18 months old...born to sing...
You have no idea the rabbit hole you’ve just entered. Enjoy the journey.
Try “A man’s world”
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
She's only just turned 18 on the 10th of this month. Interested in what she sounds like?... You would have to compare 3 very different recent songs age 17. Her EP OLD Enough the tracks are each different genre mixes NOW IM THE FOOL has a black and white mv. Same EP totally different GOOD IN GOODBYES then very different again ..her Nobel Peace Prize performance of UNCHAINED MELODY. If you react to all three as a trio you will get a little idea of her versitiliy.
Thank you for your good reaction. The original artist is Screaming Jay Hawkins. You see his picture on the candle at the beginning. Angelina was 9 years old when she recorded this song. It was self arrangend in the style of SJ Hawkins. Angelina celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday (10th). The last single was for SoFi. „Our time“. In December she sang at the Nobel Peace Price „unchained Melody“. Now you will be flooded with infotmations by the fanbase, her Angels.
9 years old ! Child prodigy infused with jazz in her DNA since she was two years old ! Angelina just turned 18 yesterday and is becoming an international superstar as she becomes a young adult. Enjoy the over 250 covers and originals by Angelina. Her catalog is absolutely huge and every one of them is amazing. She won Norway Got talent at eight years old and hasn't stopped since. Enjoy the journey as we all have. All our fans are known as angels and Angelina is known as the barefoot princess as she always performs in bare feet. Thank you for reacting her and I hope you enjoy the journey as we all have. Thank you 👍🇨🇦❤️
Yeah, I will happily await the flood! lol. Thank you for the information!
Great reaction! You’re going to love her. She’s beautiful inside and out!💞. 👍🏼🎼🤗💞
Angelina is everybody’s hope for future music. She can sing anything, any genre, covers (which she arranges herself) and originals. She has been singing since she was a baby and has now just reached 18.
Original singer Screamin Jay Hawkins, about 1955. That's his picture on the candle Angelina holds up before the song starts. She wrote the arrangement, too.
Ms. Jordan began practicing singing for four to six hours a day starting at five years old, to perfect her tone and technique. By the time of this performance at nine, she was well on her way to masterclass level. Ms. Jordan is one of the most documented humans of our era, her growth and development has lead to much speculation on the “how is this possible thinking”, but then comes the realization that prodigies have always been among us. I can only say I count myself fortunate to be witness to what Ms. Jordan has accomplished in the past and what she will create in the future. Rb
Her performance om AQmer. Got Talent at age 13 Bohemian Rhapsody was her breakout perfotmance
Now I'm the Fool will give you a good indication of what she sounds like now.
She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 7-8 singing Billie Holliday. She is our internet baby and the jazz queen. She has like 200 covers all different from Elvis to Whitney and everyone else.

@@dojoswitzer Much appreciated! Wow, I so much to cover!
She just sang at the Nobel peace prize ceremony. I cant believe you never heard of her. Her first song on here is when she was six. She turned 18 yesterday ! Angelina is the best female vocalist on the planet.
NoooPeee! She was 18 months "on here" at YT when doing a Whitney. Its in a not Eng texted docu and it´s at 1.53 minutes she starts singing here at th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html... To bad the docu is not texted in English. Have fun!
I forgot!!! She did not sing at preschool. Is this pain i see? th-cam.com/video/pyokeKeymz0/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, this is the first time I've heard of her and it was due to another viewer leaving a comment on my channel, telling me I should check her out and I wouldn't be disappointed.
From reading all the comments on this vid about her life, she seems more interesting to me and I am going to check out more of her work.
BYB, thanks for your first reaction to my all time favorite musical artist and remarkable human, Angelina Jordan Astar. She was near her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this 1956 classic by Screamin Jay Hawkins, then took control of the studio and musicians, who lovingly called her 'the boss'. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled, which only scratches the surface.
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.
😮I don't even know how to reply to your comment. There's a lot to unpack here. She does seem like a remarkable person and I will def check out more of her work! Thank you again!
@@bybshenanigans Thanks for reading about Angelina and for your reply. The smallest act of kindness can have a huge positive impact.
Great reaction, BYB! Angelina Jordan Astar just celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday, Jan 10th. She was 9 years old when she recorded this, her own arrangement based on the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. She pays homage to Screamin' Jay by holding a candle with his photo on it at the beginning of the video. She's been singing since she was eighteen months old and performs barefoot after giving her shoes to a shoeless girl she met in the Middle East. In addition to this performance , I think everyone should hear her America's Got Talent performance of Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
Nice reaction, I saw when the surprise set in! Something special about this young lady, surprise in everything you will see her perform. Lots and lots of surprises here, she has an extensive library all with surprises
If you become one of the Angels...fans of Angelina, you will never get out of this rabbit hole or would you want to.❤
❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your first reaction to Angelina. From what you said about your music preferences, I can tell you will very much enjoy your trip through the wonderful world of Angelina.
I think I will!
Fantastic Reaction Here.!!! We Thank UUU - Very Nice. Must See Her Ms. Angelgina Perform the Song Cover of "Unchained Melody" - Above World Class Everything in one.

First time reactions to this never get old. 🤣
Hey angels..... We have a new victim ! She'll never be the same. 😆😅
😄
Great reaction.😀New subscriber here for more Angelina.😀
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006 in Oslo Norway. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. She released her latest album “Old Enough” and it is definitely some of her best stuff. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although the soundtrack is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Greetings from Poland😀😀😀😀😀
Hi!!!!
Awesome reaction thank you wild bill angel 😇 since 2016
That's our Angelina.🎙🥰🔥🇨🇦😇
Phenomenal is RIGHT!! Usually we suggest chronological, but go for the most recent. Performance " Unchained Melody" at the Noble Peace Prize Ceremony. She has performed Unchained Melody many times since she was 9. This is a special, solemn performance due to her honoring Narges Mohammadi who is in a Iranian prison serving 31 years. Narges' Children were there, who are Angelina's age to receive the award for their Mother. Angelina's grandma, Mery Zamani is Iranian, so this was a special honor for AJ. Especially the verse in the song" I'll be coming home, wait for Me". th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Co5bY78d2M0aVIQ9
l checked out your other reactions from your channel. I think we share the same page. Lot of Tom McDonald. Now a days l Listen to Tom, Laufey and first and foremost for the last 6 years Angelina Jordan. I think with your sense of humor, you might like Norm McDonald " 12 minute joke".
@@MICHAELASHER. Looks like we probably do have much in common!
I"m all for listening to artists who are new to me and older music as well as mostly, everything else.
Norm MacDonald isn't really one comic I've listened to. He was on SNL at one point, right? But I'll check it out!
Yes 😂she's amazing
#angelinajordan
Just subbed, great reaction. Looking forward to more. She's mixing old with new and it's wonderful. Welcome BYB.
Great 1st reaction to Angelina! She was 9 years 2 months old here, doing her OWN arrangement 🙂 I have been following her since she auditioned on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 (she won at age 8), and yesterday she turned 18 (January 10th). So you understand that this video wasn't uploaded when the performance took place 🙂 Keep reacting to her and learn why I think that she is the very best female singer in the world. SHE will make you have hope for the future of music, no doubt 🙂 I have subscribed to your channel for more reactions to her. I guess your recommendations was for "Now I'm The Fool" which she performed at age 16. It is one of 6 songs on her July 21st 2023 EP called "Old Enough". It is a very good recommendation for you to get a feel for the older Angelina. She was 17 when the EP was released, but the recordings were all done when she was around 16,5. She has more than 200 covers out on TH-cam, but I guarantee you that you won't find a single one that you'd label sub par, as that one simply doesn't exist. You'll see.
I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year, and I hope to see you again very soon 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Yes, 'Now I'm the Fool' was recommended and that was going to be next on my list. Now, with so many suggestions, I'm wondering if I do need to start from the very, very beginning.
@@bybshenanigans That's actually a very good idea. I'd start with her very first time in a recording booth, performing "I Who Have Nothing" when she was 6 years old.
Then I highly recommend that you find her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent. She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7, whereas she had just turned 8 in the last three. Those three, in order, are "I'm A Fool To Want You", also by Billie Holiday (Billie is Angelina's biggest idol, and she has said in interviews that if there had been no Billie, there would be no Angelina). Then "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra and finally George Gershwin's "Summertime" in the finals. She was inspired by Louis Armstrong's rendition of it, you can hear it in her HEAVY vibrato. Louis is another of Angelina's biggest idols. She went on to win the whole competition with a whopping 46% of the total votes in the final.
But I have to say, like I said in my initial comment as well, that Angelina is ANY reactor's dream, as she simply has NO sub par performances, as you will see. Not many artists you can say that about after 200+ performances. She is SPECIAL. I'm looking forward to see you take a dive, preferably a deep one 😉
❤❤❤❤
Shes nine years old here.

Is there a specific one or just in general?
okay she's just a kid here BUT.... what adult has done or can do better?
'crickets'
Hi check putri ariani agt audition golden buzzer from simon cowel
Please do a little research on the artist you cover. Angelina is known world wide.
Outside of us dedicated "Angels" and the music industry itself, Angelina remains largely unknown to the general public.
And a reactor can react in any way they see fit.
I personally know people who've never heard of her.
She's a new artist to me, therefore, I'd rather step in blind than know everything there is to know, and I love receiving information from others about topics, people, ect. which helps expand my knowledge base :)
@@bybshenanigans I've would have spoken to at least 30 people over the last 5 years about AJ and not one has heard of her.
And stepping in blind is the best way to fully appreciate an artist unknown to you.
Enjoy the ride 😃.
BTW: this is one of my favourite Angie efforts (12 yo): "Stay".
