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! Now you know why she got that name....
There was no mention of Iran!!!!! The family was in an Asian country! Angelina has Norwegian, Swedish, Iranian and Japanese blood in her veins! She has understood and spoken these 4 languages since she was a child. (Japanese is intermediate!) The only language she has learned is English!!!
Angelina’s talent makes her more than a jazz singer. She can sing in any genre. It just so happens that her first musical love is jazz. Her wonderful grandma, Mery Zamani loved listening to the jazz classics and that is how Angelina fell in love with the genre. She covers songs unlike any other singer I’ve heard. She has a youtube cover channel as well as her official channel.
Sounds like you're a busy man so I hope you take the time to read your comments. They will tell you everything you want to know about this incredible singer and human being. Continue the Journey and you will soon understand why she gets hight praise. She's earned it. You will undoubtedly get the story of why she sings barefoot. Be sure to read that story. It reveals a lot. ❤👣 Angelina Jordan - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. A living Legend! ❤👣
@ At age 6 while traveling in the middle east, she met a young girl about her age on the side of the road weighing people with a bathroom scale in hopes of earning some money. It was cold and wet and the girl had no shoes. Angelina took off her new boots so as not to get the scale dirty and stepped on it several times to help the girl with money. She talked to the girl for awhile about what they wanted to be when they grew up (she speaks farsi). After noticing she had no shoes, she insisted on giving her her own boots (she loved those boots). The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina. She later vowed to always perform barefoot to remind herself that there are those less fortunate in the world that need help. Later at age 9 she wrote a book about this experience (it is breathtakingly profound and beautiful), becoming the youngest published author in Norway. Truly a very special girl (now a young woman, beautiful inside and out!).
McFly, it was fun hanging out on your livestream and watch your reaction for your first time hearing Angelina Jordan. This performance may be the only time one could say she added some vocal gymnastics. Angelina is a top tier singer storyteller who makes every note seem like the most important. She is very humble and when given a compliment, she replies, "thank you for your kind words, you inspire me to work harder and get better".
Keep spreading the word Andy. I've got some ideas on that which I hope will catch on. I will introduce it here in the hope it can catch on and help spread the word. You're already doing a lot of it as have I and what I believe are many others trying to do the same. I would just like to see those efforts enhanced and supported by the Angels who wish to spread the message. We could do that by hopefully enlisting the Angel community to support these efforts to get a response from reactors that seem oblivious to our individual concerted efforts to bring their attention to our Angelina. What I am proposing is to bring these reactors to the attention of the Angel community and ask them to help us convince these reticent reactors with a united voice of persuasion which will help overcome the obstacles that prevent our individual efforts of getting through to those we wish get a response from these reactors. Where one message fails to get through maybe many like minded messages might be able to break through. Let me know your thoughts Andy. And any other Angels who read this. From one fan to any other fans. ❤👣 I'll post it in my comments here as well as this reply to you.
IMHO she chose this song for a reason! Read the lyrics! She basically told them I will do it my way not the music industry way! This is from AGT Champions! Angelina is known for her lower register! She was exposed to the Jazz greats by her Grandmother Mery Zamani from an early age! Angelina is self taught! 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯
Angelina is the most versatile singer I've ever heard because she has jazz running in her veins. She has covered over 200 songs from the past & present from 8-9 different genre & about 20 originals, so far. Her superpower that puts her among the greatest vocalists ever, is her ability to emote the lyrics that tells the story of the song. As many of her fans say, "if you want to listen to great singing, there are an amazing number of great singers out there, but if you want to feel a song, Angelina stands alone." I have listened to her music every day for the last 7 years since I discovered her because it reduces stress better than any pharmaceuticals out there. She is my daily meds for relaxing. She does have a few "bangers" that make you want to get up & dance, but the vast majority are soothing & relaxing. If you want to see/hear the current Angelina, I recommend her latest original song, Bad Valentine. There are many versions ranging from pop to jazz, because she never sings a song the same way twice, she just can't help herself. My favorite version is her slowed down, jazzy, piano version. th-cam.com/video/vN3YzuX1kkY/w-d-xo.html Great 1st video McFly, I gave it a thumbs up & subscribed for more Angelina reactions. BTW, she is also known as the "Girl with 1000 Voices" because she can emulate all the greats from the past, but her original sound is a mix of Amy Winehouse, Adele, Elvis, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday & several others.
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following songs: -- Shield [Angelina co-wrote song and as 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films and that her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. Angelina said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html] [as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: th-cam.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/w-d-xo.html.

This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html) -- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. Amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle to the song: th-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/w-d-xo.html] -- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html] -- Billie Jean (as 15-year old, Angelina completely turns Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit song on its head by doing a jazzy version that re-invents the song to something different than original: th-cam.com/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/w-d-xo.html) -- You Say (as 15-year old, Angelina exquisitely covers Lauren Daigle’s hit song (over 6 million units sold) that won a Grammy Award and was lead song on her 2018 album Look Up Child: th-cam.com/video/V6IERCyppF0/w-d-xo.html) -- My Funny Valentine (as 16-year old, music video shot in LA antique store and directed by Angelina.

Yes, welcome to the barefoot princess, she is barefoot. That is a whole other story to her life, which makes her above and beyond every other senior out there today. She actually wrote a book of why she’s barefoot on stage and she is the youngest published author in Norway. I’m 56 years old grew up on country music and I’ll tell you right now. The barefoot princess is absolutely my favorite singer of all time. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven.
She sang at 18 months trying "I will always love you" with Whitney Houston and it is recorded and out on you-tube. At 3 she was all over you tube searching for songs to try. Amazing talent. Won NGT 2014 at 7 going 8 and i voted for her win there. Already impressing and developed much between episodes. She still do. Love from Norway!
Enjoyed your reaction, good analysis. Words really don't do enough to describe Angelina, (a common phenomenon among reactors, running out of words to describe her after seeing a few videos). Hopefully, you will continue with more Angelina reactions. There are so many truly awesome performances for you to experience!

Angelina Jordan - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. A living Legend! ❤👣 To all Angels out there reading this please let me know your thoughts on this idea. I've got some ideas on that which I hope will catch on. I will introduce it here in the hope it can catch on and help spread the word. Andy is already doing a lot of it as have I and what I believe are many others trying to get the attention of New Reactors. I would like to see those efforts enhanced and supported by the Angels who wish to spread the message. We could do that by hopefully enlisting the Angel community to support these efforts to get a response from reactors that seem oblivious to our individual concerted efforts to bring their attention to our Angelina. What I am proposing is to bring these reactors to the attention of the Angel community and ask them to help us convince these reticent reactors with a united voice of persuasion which will help overcome the obstacles that prevent our individual efforts of getting through to those we wish get a response from. Where one message fails to get through maybe many like minded messages (or even a few more) might be able to break through. Let me know your thoughts on this for any Angel who reads this. From one fan to all of Angelina's many fans. ❤👣
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 12 songs from age 7 to 18 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2024): th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html 1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral. 2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on TH-cam, and many more on Facebook. 3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here. 4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier. 5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording. 6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family. 7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!" 8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records. 9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did. 10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was. 11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs. 12. Bad Valentine, her latest released original from 2024, as a live preview in a small venue. If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough", with the new performances always being added at the beginning of the list: th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html She once said, there would be no Angelina Jordan without Billie Holiday. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, Sam Smith, and Whitney.
In addition to the 150+ covers Angelina has sung over the years of her career (almost all of which are her own arrangements) - she has also been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 13 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, Our Time, and Bad Valentine. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina performed an unreleased original song Princess of Ruins that she has only performed in concert - if and when that is officially released it will be her 14th original. She also performed two more original unreleased songs at her Los Angeles concert: Thank You and What Am I To You?
Enjoyed your reaction, thanks, from Australia. You are right, AJ doesn’t really sound like anyone else. Obviously starting very young, she’s had influence from listening to many great singers, and some similarity can appear here and there, then she has her own sound. Most Angel fans are respectful, but you will probably get so much information that it might be difficult for you to get through.!!!
Hello, McFly. Thank you for deciding to explore the amazing world of Angelina Jordan. I'm not sure if I heard you say that she won Norway's Got Talent at age 18, but just to clarify, she won NGT at age 8 (she auditioned at 7, and turned 8 during the competition). She was introduced to jazz at around age 3 by her devoted Grandma Mery and fell in love with it. She now has a huge portfolio that includes both covers and originals, as well as many appearances on stage in several countries, including two appearances at Nobel Peace Prize Concerts, and four concerts in the US (Portsmouth, Las Vegas, The Alex Theatre and the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles). Her extremely knowledgeable fans, whom she calls her Angels, will give you a massive amount of info, but perhaps a good starting point, if you are genuinely interested in getting to know not just Angelina Jordan, the artist, but also Angelina Jordan, the person, would be the documentary by Alan Papier and Pontus Osterlin, "Born To Sing; The Early Years" ( th-cam.com/video/jE6x9V8Cnyw/w-d-xo.html ).
Thank you for the wonderful. I'm simply and madly in love with the musical genius of this girl, she sees music as a wonderful sample of chords with which she always manages to reinvent a song, to transform it into another that maintains the same narrative but intertwining different and even more impactful emotions, it's as if she were capable of discovering the soul of the song itself.💛🧡❤
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments. You are in for a very enjoyable ride. Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest jazz recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which is only her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album. Here is a semi-chronological TH-cam playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. th-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu Here is an extended playlist of approximately 400 performances compiled and categorized, thanks to mosttodo10. They include current performances. th-cam.com/video/IxPiumYD_r0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=anjDyUnXdkPjCEf0 Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Yellow Brick Road Yellow Brick Road Angelina Jordan is a young singer who has amazed the world with her incredible voice and interpretations of classic songs. One of her most popular covers is "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John, which she performed on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. The video of her performance has been viewed more than 40 million times on TH-cam, making it one of the most watched videos of the show. Angelina's version of the song is soulful, emotional and captivating, and showcases her unique vocal style and maturity. Sara Bareilles is a talented singer-songwriter who has won many fans with her catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics. One of her most popular songs is her cover of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", which she performed live at the 2013 Grammy Awards. The video of her performance has been viewed over 9 million times on TH-cam, and it showcases her amazing vocal range and emotional delivery. The song is about leaving behind a glamorous but empty life for a simpler and more authentic one, and Sara Bareilles does a great job of conveying that message with her own style and flair. Sara's version is on TH-cam, and I did listen to it and in my opinion AJ' s is far superior. (Keep in mind AJ had just turned 14 by the time this episode aired.). (CopyRight)
I would not classify Angelina as a pop singer at all. Angelina is very much a Jazz , Blues and R&B singer. There is also a very good reason why she always sings barefooted. It is NOT because she wants to feel grounded. If you are serious about going down the Angelina rabbit hole, then you Must investigate. ❤❤👣❤❤
I am definitely serious about it. This was requested during a pop themed reaction stream. Having never heard her I did not know if she was pop or not. ButI’d agree that she is definitely Jazz.
She been sangin since the tender age of TWO. She was 8 when she won Norways Got Talent. Take your time, most Angels are relatively nice, I guess we have grown quite a rep, a lot of reactors are hesitant to watch her because of a few bad apples fall from the Angel tree. Edit. AJ has spent 6hrs a day 6 days a week for almost the past ten years on her craft. She has two channels her other channel is a pure cover channel. She has over 250 songs.
Angelina Jordon singing from aged 6 has hundreds of performances on TH-cam and other media outlets, she was considered an accomplished singer by aged 10, and was arranging her own songs from a very young age. has her own original music as well, I think she is a lyrical genius. Her Ep called Old Enough brilliant you were talking about Elvis you should also check out her version of Suspicious Minds
Looking forward to more reactions of Angelina.. Suggestion, please check out her rendition of Screaming J Hawking's "I Put A Spell On You", at 9 years old, will blow you away and her rendition of Elvis's '"Suspicious Minds" at the age if 16. Enjoy. Just subscribed ☮
Of course, you have to check out AJ's first performance on AGT, "Bohemian Rhapsody", which got the Golden Buzzer from Heidi: th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
Whilst I accept she has a good voice & is very talented, people who say they prefer this version to the Elton John original, its about a minute shorter, so you can't really compare them.
IIRC this arrangement is a mix of the original and Sara Bareilles' cover (which was highly praised by Elton) plus it had to be adapted to the time limit of the show, so it's like you said - hard to compare. I agree with Simon on this point - bringing it out of the shadows of the past and presenting it to a younger audience who aren't so familiar with the stuff from before is a good thing (even if it wasn't directly rewarded).
Since no one has yet I guess I will. ❤👣 Why Angelina always performs barefoot For those who do not know. ❤👣 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 says she still thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. 'Between Two Hearts' Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV "Lindmo" 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html. ❤👣
Jp, if you read this you have to, whether on line or not, watch this interview. I find it more incredible than her singing. Listen and think about what she says keeping her age in mind. Nice job Ole. Link was a great idea.
*Nice critique and reaction. "I Put a Spell On You" in the studio at age 9 is a must do by any said reactor. the black and white version. And especially since you yearn for more jazz! Thanks!* th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aegbivVyTpgbxanr
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan. 1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html 2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed. 3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order: At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella. At age 12 There are two songs of note here: ‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note - ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her. At Age 16 she has three new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far. The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements. The current song that is number 1 on my playlist is Unchanged Melody th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html , this performance is at the Nobel Piece Prize presentation. She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records. Rusty Shackelford has a TH-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which is approaching 400,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.) The second best song she has out there now is If I Were A Boy ((Piano Diaries by Toby Gad) th-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/w-d-xo.html The best song she has released is Bad Valentine (Piano Diaries} th-cam.com/video/6Ln9Tajsuzk/w-d-xo.html
@@carolyn64 he had a very unique voice that was different for the times but it wasn't a fantastic voice by any means. Wasn't taking away from what he did for Music. Just an opinion.
@mcflyjp a very wrong opinion in my opinion and in the opinion of million's of his followers! I'm sorry but I didn't notice the number of your followers?
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! Now you know why she got that name....
Amazing story. Glad to see there are artists and people out there like her.
Great reaction, more Angelina please 👏👏
@@mcflyjpYou may find there is no one else like Angelina Jordan. When you do, then you too could call yourself an angel.
There was no mention of Iran!!!!! The family was in an Asian country! Angelina has Norwegian, Swedish, Iranian and Japanese blood in her veins! She has understood and spoken these 4 languages since she was a child. (Japanese is intermediate!) The only language she has learned is English!!!
@@gingin51 Um, my comment mentions Iran in the third sentence....🤔🤔🤔
Angelina’s talent makes her more than a jazz singer. She can sing in any genre. It just so happens that her first musical love is jazz. Her wonderful grandma, Mery Zamani loved listening to the jazz classics and that is how Angelina fell in love with the genre. She covers songs unlike any other singer I’ve heard. She has a youtube cover channel as well as her official channel.
Sounds like you're a busy man so I hope you take the time to read your comments. They will tell you everything you want to know about this incredible singer and human being. Continue the Journey and you will soon understand why she gets hight praise. She's earned it. You will undoubtedly get the story of why she sings barefoot. Be sure to read that story. It reveals a lot. ❤👣
Angelina Jordan - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. A living Legend! ❤👣
@@OleOlson121 I’m so curious as to the barefoot thing especially if there is a lore. lol.
@ At age 6 while traveling in the middle east, she met a young girl about her age on the side of the road weighing people with a bathroom scale in hopes of earning some money. It was cold and wet and the girl had no shoes. Angelina took off her new boots so as not to get the scale dirty and stepped on it several times to help the girl with money. She talked to the girl for awhile about what they wanted to be when they grew up (she speaks farsi). After noticing she had no shoes, she insisted on giving her her own boots (she loved those boots). The girl thanked her and said she would pray for Angelina. She later vowed to always perform barefoot to remind herself that there are those less fortunate in the world that need help. Later at age 9 she wrote a book about this experience (it is breathtakingly profound and beautiful), becoming the youngest published author in Norway. Truly a very special girl (now a young woman, beautiful inside and out!).
Angelina sang "Gloomy Sunday " and "Bang Bang" and "Summertime " on Norway's Got Talent at 7-8 years old.
@@tammyjackson3113 that is wild.
McFly, it was fun hanging out on your livestream and watch your reaction for your first time hearing Angelina Jordan. This performance may be the only time one could say she added some vocal gymnastics. Angelina is a top tier singer storyteller who makes every note seem like the most important. She is very humble and when given a compliment, she replies, "thank you for your kind words, you inspire me to work harder and get better".
Keep spreading the word Andy. I've got some ideas on that which I hope will catch on. I will introduce it here in the hope it can catch on and help spread the word. You're already doing a lot of it as have I and what I believe are many others trying to do the same. I would just like to see those efforts enhanced and supported by the Angels who wish to spread the message. We could do that by hopefully enlisting the Angel community to support these efforts to get a response from reactors that seem oblivious to our individual concerted efforts to bring their attention to our Angelina. What I am proposing is to bring these reactors to the attention of the Angel community and ask them to help us convince these reticent reactors with a united voice of persuasion which will help overcome the obstacles that prevent our individual efforts of getting through to those we wish get a response from these reactors. Where one message fails to get through maybe many like minded messages might be able to break through. Let me know your thoughts Andy. And any other Angels who read this. From one fan to any other fans. ❤👣 I'll post it in my comments here as well as this reply to you.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
IMHO she chose this song for a reason! Read the lyrics! She basically told them I will do it my way not the music industry way! This is from AGT Champions! Angelina is known for her lower register! She was exposed to the Jazz greats by her Grandmother Mery Zamani from an early age! Angelina is self taught! 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯
True! When she sings "I didn't sign up with you" the camera cuts to Simon! That was deliberate, I'm sure.
Angelina is the most versatile singer I've ever heard because she has jazz running in her veins. She has covered over 200 songs from the past & present from 8-9 different genre & about 20 originals, so far. Her superpower that puts her among the greatest vocalists ever, is her ability to emote the lyrics that tells the story of the song. As many of her fans say, "if you want to listen to great singing, there are an amazing number of great singers out there, but if you want to feel a song, Angelina stands alone." I have listened to her music every day for the last 7 years since I discovered her because it reduces stress better than any pharmaceuticals out there. She is my daily meds for relaxing. She does have a few "bangers" that make you want to get up & dance, but the vast majority are soothing & relaxing. If you want to see/hear the current Angelina, I recommend her latest original song, Bad Valentine. There are many versions ranging from pop to jazz, because she never sings a song the same way twice, she just can't help herself. My favorite version is her slowed down, jazzy, piano version. th-cam.com/video/vN3YzuX1kkY/w-d-xo.html Great 1st video McFly, I gave it a thumbs up & subscribed for more Angelina reactions. BTW, she is also known as the "Girl with 1000 Voices" because she can emulate all the greats from the past, but her original sound is a mix of Amy Winehouse, Adele, Elvis, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday & several others.
Enjoy the ride. Angelina is the best singer on the planet. Best wishes
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following songs:
-- Shield [Angelina co-wrote song and as 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films and that her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. Angelina said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html]

He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html)
-- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. Amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle to the song: th-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/w-d-xo.html]
-- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns.

-- You Say (as 15-year old, Angelina exquisitely covers Lauren Daigle’s hit song (over 6 million units sold) that won a Grammy Award and was lead song on her 2018 album Look Up Child: th-cam.com/video/V6IERCyppF0/w-d-xo.html)
-- My Funny Valentine (as 16-year old, music video shot in LA antique store and directed by Angelina. Her skills are way beyond her age. Angelina sings Frank Sinatra lyrical version in sultry, jazz style: th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html)
-- Suspicious Minds (as 16-year old, music video shot in LA antique store. Angelina puts unique twist to this 1969 Elvis Presley hit song by slowing it way down and rearranging lyrics: th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html)

-- If I Were A Boy (as 18-year old. Angelina sings live with Toby Gad at Sofar Sounds London. Angelina adds subtle jazz flourishes while singing her unique version as though in a jazz lounge club: th-cam.com/video/ZQio4yGGTOs/w-d-xo.html)
-- Jazzy Bad Valentine (as 18-year old. Angelina co-wrote with Toby Gad. Official music video has Toby on piano in the desert and shows that Angelina is ready to become the new Queen of jazz: th-cam.com/video/S030JbpJz1w/w-d-xo.html)
-- What A Wonderful World (as 18-year old. Toby Gad on piano. Angelina sings soft jazz version of classic Louis Armstrong song. Song in Grammy Hall of Fame and on Rolling Stone magazines’ list of 500 greatest songs: th-cam.com/video/S030JbpJz1w/w-d-xo.html)
You have about 200 performances from Angelina to choose from - good luck :)
Yes, welcome to the barefoot princess, she is barefoot. That is a whole other story to her life, which makes her above and beyond every other senior out there today. She actually wrote a book of why she’s barefoot on stage and she is the youngest published author in Norway. I’m 56 years old grew up on country music and I’ll tell you right now. The barefoot princess is absolutely my favorite singer of all time. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven.
I listen to Angelina every single day. Nothing else will do. lol
She sang at 18 months trying "I will always love you" with Whitney Houston and it is recorded and out on you-tube. At 3 she was all over you tube searching for songs to try. Amazing talent. Won NGT 2014 at 7 going 8 and i voted for her win there. Already impressing and developed much between episodes. She still do. Love from Norway!
Thanks, Jesse. I'm excited to hear more of your reactions to Angelina. There are a LOT of her songs out there and you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the kind words!
Enjoyed your reaction, good analysis. Words really don't do enough to describe Angelina, (a common phenomenon among reactors, running out of words to describe her after seeing a few videos). Hopefully, you will continue with more Angelina reactions. There are so many truly awesome performances for you to experience!
@@jefftofte9419 already recorded a few and will be releasing soon. Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed. AJ is a once in a lifetime talent.

I think we all agree you need to hear more of Angelina
„The Voice“ Angelina Jordan, wonderful!
She has the ability to make us feel the music in a unique way and thus touches our soul.
😇🥰😇🥰😇🥰
Hey Mcfly,
Her tone is the key into your heart, that you love who you become when you listen to her.
It only gets better. 🤜
Watch and react to six year old Angelina’s cover of, “I Who Have Nothing”. You will quickly realize that she was born to sing.
Thank you.Great reaction to Angelina!! Hoping for more from you and her!
New sub here, hooing for more Angelina Jordan reactions 🎉
She turned 19 this month.... She's been singing professionally since she was 7. So going on 12 years, of professional level singing.
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 12 songs from age 7 to 18 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2024): th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html
1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral.
2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on TH-cam, and many more on Facebook.
3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here.
4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier.
5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording.
6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family.
7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!"
8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records.
9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did.
10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was.
11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs.
12. Bad Valentine, her latest released original from 2024, as a live preview in a small venue.
If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough", with the new performances always being added at the beginning of the list: th-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
She once said, there would be no Angelina Jordan without Billie Holiday. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, Sam Smith, and Whitney.
In addition to the 150+ covers Angelina has sung over the years of her career (almost all of which are her own arrangements) - she has also been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 13 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, Our Time, and Bad Valentine. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina performed an unreleased original song Princess of Ruins that she has only performed in concert - if and when that is officially released it will be her 14th original. She also performed two more original unreleased songs at her Los Angeles concert: Thank You and What Am I To You?
Great reaction.😀New subscriber here for more Angelina.😀
Enjoyed your reaction, thanks, from Australia. You are right, AJ doesn’t really sound like anyone else. Obviously starting very young, she’s had influence from listening to many great singers, and some similarity can appear here and there, then she has her own sound. Most Angel fans are respectful, but you will probably get so much information that it might be difficult for you to get through.!!!
Welcome to Angelina’s World. She first started singing at 1 1/2 yrs old. She first appeared on T.V. In Norway (she’s from Norway) at age 7.
Nice reaction. And it's true, one song does not an artist make. 200 more to choose from. I'll be interested to see where you make the call.
She is still 13 here.
Yes. Amazing. And she had already been singing for what, 7 years at that point?
@@mcflyjp11 half years,,first recording of her singing she was 18 months giving a credible attempt at Whitney I Will Always Love You (from memory)
Welcome to Angelina's world....
Hello, McFly. Thank you for deciding to explore the amazing world of Angelina Jordan. I'm not sure if I heard you say that she won Norway's Got Talent at age 18, but just to clarify, she won NGT at age 8 (she auditioned at 7, and turned 8 during the competition). She was introduced to jazz at around age 3 by her devoted Grandma Mery and fell in love with it. She now has a huge portfolio that includes both covers and originals, as well as many appearances on stage in several countries, including two appearances at Nobel Peace Prize Concerts, and four concerts in the US (Portsmouth, Las Vegas, The Alex Theatre and the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles). Her extremely knowledgeable fans, whom she calls her Angels, will give you a massive amount of info, but perhaps a good starting point, if you are genuinely interested in getting to know not just Angelina Jordan, the artist, but also Angelina Jordan, the person, would be the documentary by Alan Papier and Pontus Osterlin, "Born To Sing; The Early Years" ( th-cam.com/video/jE6x9V8Cnyw/w-d-xo.html ).
Thank you for the wonderful. I'm simply and madly in love with the musical genius of this girl, she sees music as a wonderful sample of chords with which she always manages to reinvent a song, to transform it into another that maintains the same narrative but intertwining different and even more impactful emotions, it's as if she were capable of discovering the soul of the song itself.💛🧡❤
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments. You are in for a very enjoyable ride.
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest jazz recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which is only her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

She may be one of the most fascinating talented singer in history… you’ll see why! Welcome to 7th Heaven!! 😉😍
Most of her performances are live, many outdoors and many with large crowds that can run in the tens of thousands.
Yellow Brick Road
Yellow Brick Road Angelina Jordan is a young singer who has amazed the world with her incredible voice and interpretations of classic songs. One of her most popular covers is "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John, which she performed on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. The video of her performance has been viewed more than 40 million times on TH-cam, making it one of the most watched videos of the show. Angelina's version of the song is soulful, emotional and captivating, and showcases her unique vocal style and maturity. Sara Bareilles is a talented singer-songwriter who has won many fans with her catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics. One of her most popular songs is her cover of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", which she performed live at the 2013 Grammy Awards. The video of her performance has been viewed over 9 million times on TH-cam, and it showcases her amazing vocal range and emotional delivery. The song is about leaving behind a glamorous but empty life for a simpler and more authentic one, and Sara Bareilles does a great job of conveying that message with her own style and flair. Sara's version is on TH-cam, and I did listen to it and in my opinion AJ' s is far superior. (Keep in mind AJ had just turned 14 by the time this episode aired.). (CopyRight)
I would not classify Angelina as a pop singer at all. Angelina is very much a Jazz , Blues and R&B singer. There is also a very good reason why she always sings barefooted. It is NOT because she wants to feel grounded. If you are serious about going down the Angelina rabbit hole, then you Must investigate. ❤❤👣❤❤
I am definitely serious about it. This was requested during a pop themed reaction stream. Having never heard her I did not know if she was pop or not. ButI’d agree that she is definitely Jazz.
Wasn't it done in sympathy with the homeless/or those in poverty who can't afford Shoes.
She been sangin since the tender age of TWO. She was 8 when she won Norways Got Talent.
Take your time, most Angels are relatively nice, I guess we have grown quite a rep, a lot of reactors are hesitant to watch her because of a few bad apples fall from the Angel tree.
Edit. AJ has spent 6hrs a day 6 days a week for almost the past ten years on her craft. She has two channels her other channel is a pure cover channel. She has over 250 songs.
❤❤
Angelina Jordon singing from aged 6 has hundreds of performances on TH-cam and other media outlets, she was considered an accomplished singer by aged 10, and was arranging her own songs from a very young age. has her own original music as well, I think she is a lyrical genius. Her Ep called Old Enough brilliant you were talking about Elvis you should also check out her version of Suspicious Minds
13 years old in this video.
Head, mixed, chest
Looking forward to more reactions of Angelina.. Suggestion, please check out her rendition of Screaming J Hawking's "I Put A Spell On You", at 9 years old, will blow you away and her rendition of Elvis's '"Suspicious Minds" at the age if 16. Enjoy. Just subscribed ☮
13 years old here
😊
Of course, you have to check out AJ's first performance on AGT, "Bohemian Rhapsody", which got the Golden Buzzer from Heidi: th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
AJ was 13 when this was recorded.
Whilst I accept she has a good voice & is very talented, people who say they prefer this version to the Elton John original, its about a minute shorter, so you can't really compare them.
IIRC this arrangement is a mix of the original and Sara Bareilles' cover (which was highly praised by Elton) plus it had to be adapted to the time limit of the show, so it's like you said - hard to compare.
I agree with Simon on this point - bringing it out of the shadows of the past and presenting it to a younger audience who aren't so familiar with the stuff from before is a good thing (even if it wasn't directly rewarded).
@paulwagner9303 Sara Bareilles version is great. I like a lot of her stuff too.
Since no one has yet I guess I will. ❤👣
Why Angelina always performs barefoot
For those who do not know. ❤👣
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 says she still thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. 'Between Two Hearts'
Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV "Lindmo" 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html. ❤👣
Jp, if you read this you have to, whether on line or not, watch this interview. I find it more incredible than her singing. Listen and think about what she says keeping her age in mind. Nice job Ole. Link was a great idea.
But, the thing is AJ can sing in any genre, you should heard do Patsy Cline's "Crazy" that Willie Nelson wrote.
*Nice critique and reaction. "I Put a Spell On You" in the studio at age 9 is a must do by any said reactor. the black and white version. And especially since you yearn for more jazz! Thanks!* th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aegbivVyTpgbxanr

Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html
At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html
At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html
At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html
On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her.
At Age 16 she has three new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
The current song that is number 1 on my playlist is Unchanged Melody th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html , this performance is at the Nobel Piece Prize presentation.
She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
Rusty Shackelford has a TH-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which is approaching 400,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
The second best song she has out there now is If I Were A Boy ((Piano Diaries by Toby Gad) th-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/w-d-xo.html
The best song she has released is Bad Valentine (Piano Diaries} th-cam.com/video/6Ln9Tajsuzk/w-d-xo.html
Elvis was great but AJ is ethereal.
I've subscribed because of this review. I was with you all the way until you said that Elvis didn't have that good of a singing voice! I mean What?!
@@carolyn64 he had a very unique voice that was different for the times but it wasn't a fantastic voice by any means. Wasn't taking away from what he did for Music. Just an opinion.
@mcflyjp a very wrong opinion in my opinion and in the opinion of million's of his followers! I'm sorry but I didn't notice the number of your followers?
@carolyn64 so the main reason he had fans was his voice? If we are going to bring credentials into this how many music degrees do you have?
@carolyn64 how many shows have you played. How many albums have you recorded?
MUMBLE MOUTH THING...
Will you stop with this thing....LUCY THOMAS is her rival and sings 10 times better
She may be one of the most fascinating talented singer in history… you’ll see why! Welcome to 7th Heaven!! 😉😍
