One person listed a 132 song listing of what she's done from age 6 to the present. Her multi genre ability is beyond what any other singer has ever done. She always appears on stage in bare feet. The reason being that after meeting a poor girl in the streets of a war torn town in the mid-east when she was 6, found her giving the girl her own shoes and vowing to never wear shoes when performing to bring attention to all those poor souls who can't even afford a simple pair of shoes. When she won Norway's Got Talent at 8, she donated the winnings to charity and has done numerous charity concerts throughout the world. The artwork on her dress comes from her 'artist' grandmother Mery Zamani who also was a child prodigy like Angelina.
Angelina Jordan wrote this version and when Queen heard it they gave her permission to copywrite her version. Certainly subscribed and absolutely agree with your mother about champagne. From an island off the West coast of Canada.
The blonde lady in the front row of the audience is her Mother, seated between her little sister and her grandmother. Her grandmother designed her outfit.
Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old. The clothes she was wearing is taken from her grandmother's artistry and I believe Angelina sewed it together. Angelina turned 15 years old 10 January 2021, and published a book in Norway when she was 9 years old, making her Norway's youngest published author, "Between two Hearts"; explaining why she sing barefooted at every public performance. Angelina Jordan is not just a gifted and talented musician but a humanitarian as well. Rusty Shackelford who is a super fan and all things Angelina can tell you more. I am sure if you do more Angelina Jordan reactions your subscriptions will increase dramatically. This girl is very special !!!
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! Please come back to your Upscale Talk Show!!! Miss Jordon Angel Fans are on Stand By!!!! We the People of the World of Caring Souls need your Presents in this time of Life! So fun and warm thoughts on the Mind when you two share your personal thoughts about what your talking & Teaching!
Angelina is a 'one in a million' songstress that should be listened to at every opportunity. Her jazz classics are the best around today. She began her professional career at seven years old, winning Norway's Got Talent at eight and has sung all over the world since then. She has more than a hundred cover songs recorded on TH-cam as well as a number of originals and has recently released a song "Million Miles" from her American record company, Republic Records. She is great and I hope you start reacting to many of her works... thanks!
oh my .. are you two in for a magic ride with Angelina! it will be so much fun watching you getting to know her and taking us along to bask in yet another journey of wonder as you discover her talent, her goodness, .. all that she is! I look forward to it!
Angelina Jordan Astar is from Norway. She recently turned 15 and lives in Los Angeles. She signed with Republic Records this past year and is working on her first album with Republic. The outfit she is wearing was made by herself and represents her grandmother's art. Her grandmother is a well known artist and is originally from Iran.
The legendary Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 😁🤗😁🤗. 😷✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯
You have discovered someone very special here. This is just a very small taste of the insane talent Angelina has. You have so much more to hear from her. She has been singing like a seasoned professional since she was 7 years old, and has literally dozens and dozens of masterpiece level performances for you to see. The people that "get" Angelina usually get her within seconds, and I can tell that is the case here. As impressive as this was... just wait until you hear more. She gets better with every new side you see to her incredible versatility. And as always for anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
Amazing, thank you so much for all the information! 👌 Angelina sounds like a star! She has done so much already! The story about her wearing no shoes is wonderful! 💕
You should react to Angelina when she was 11 years old, doing a rehearsal in her home, singing Dolly Parton's, "I will always love you". You can really hear how beautiful and pure her voice is. I am a retired Fireman watching from Wisconsin, and have to say that your mother is totally charming.
Wow - we love Dolly Parton - and that song! OK, that's going on the list. Thank you so much for your lovely words about Mother - will pass that on, she will love you for that. x
I encountered Angelina a month ago and I have been listening to her ever since. Her talent is amazing and she can sing anything. I would love to buy all her songs from when she was little until now.
You have to check out the new Suspicious minds cover by Angelina Jordan. The hairdo is Priscilla Presley, the black leather suit is like the one Elvis wore in 1968 tour. The red guitar as well. She also has a soundtrack of some sort in the new Elvis movie. Love your reactions.
I only watched the intro and have already liked and subscribed. A mom and her born are amazing. Angelina will make your hearts melt any song any day any life she is the best of the best. You 2 already are good mom and daughter champion just great now I will watch your video
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reactions & commentary, & I hope you continue to discover more of her amazing voice, you won't be disappointed!
Angelina performs barefoot after meeting a poor girl in the Middle East. Angelina was six at the time. The girl was weighing people for money. She was barefoot and her feet were scarred. Angelina struck up a conversation with her. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to perform with shoes until all children have shoes. Angelina has helped raise millions for charities. She won Norway's got Talent at 8. Published a book at 9 about the incident with the poor girl. She loves her family deeply and also her devoted fans. She just turned 15 on Jan 10th, 2021.
Clearly you can see she has a following. Love you ladies. AJ has jazz roots as l am sure you will discover. Although you see her at 13, she has been an artist/professional singer since age 8. So she has been at it for some years. Some music she produces is her experimenting with styles and genres. Some is heartfelt and almost always changed to her style. The amazing thing you will notice even from this first reaction is as soon as her eyes close she becomes the song. It is intimate and personal and draws you in like you seldom experience. Good luck on your voyage. Look forward to more from you two.
Thanks for sharing these details. Thank you for Caring about Miss Angilina Jordon: The "Emerald Pearl" of Norway! Has worked her Music Craft her entire Life! Now just 15 years old! Greatest Voice ever heard, anywhere!!!! Magic Sound Healer to all Living & Past ON!!!! Shockingly Very Special. OMG!
WOW, girls! I really loved your honest reaction to Angelina 💕 From a girl to another, cheers! Long live champagne, lol. She wasn't really auditioning. She was invited to participate because this is America's Got Talent - THE CHAMPIONS. That is, only winners or runner-ups from other country's Got Talent editions can compete ;) And you went totally blind without knowing anything about her? Really, you have to get prepared to listen to Angelina, she hits you in the gut, your heart each and every time she opens her mouth 😉 She was born in Norway, she is currently barely 15 (January 10th) and was 13 at the time of this performance. Her outfit was made from a pattern taken from her grandmother's paintings (Iranian artist Mery Zamani). She always performs barefoot because she met a girl in the Middle East when she was 6 years old who was barefoot. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and promised to never perform with shoes until poor children around the world were taken care of. She later wrote a book about the whole experience. So many things to tell you about Angelina... but I guess you are hooked now and will continue your research and reacting to her. Truly waiting for your next reaction 👌😊
She's a genius. She reinvented (arranged) that iconic song. Many of her other covers are equally amazing. Take a look at her version of Rihanna's Stay, or Adele's When Were Young, or Lana del Rey's Born to Die. Her 9 year old version of I Put a Spell on You is justly legendary. Or her new original single Million Miles.
This is the best reaction video of Angelina Jordan I've seen. The mother... wow, you could see it just wash over her. She started out all giggly and sipping champagne without a care in the world. Then the first line of the song her whole demeanor changed. It was really cool. Love these two.
She does all of her arrangements. She is 6 feet tall in this video. She made that outfit with her Grandmother's art imprinted on it. She is the youngest author in Norway history. She is awesome. And yes that is her real name, Angilina Jordan Astar. Great name. Great reaction ladies. Your mom looks fantastic. Beautiful!😍
Thank you for clarification of the name. I had heard it before but was not certain of the accuracy of that info. Angelina Jordan Astar. How appropriate!
you just find a musical treasure,the girl with so many voices,musicstyles,in any age,she is the girl who bring the old classic song back to life,she is very addicted you see,and thanks ,and welcome to a long journey of greatness from Angelina,if you follow her,great react.
it's fun getting surprised, isn't it? For the biggest surprise that you'll get this year check out Angelina singing an homage to Screaming Jay Hawking's 50's classic, 'I've Put A Spell On You' Black and White version... you'll not believe your eyes/ears. 100% guaranteed.
Great reaction! Please continue your journey into Angelina's rabbit hole, you will not regret it! Suggestions will be posted by other 'Angels' in their comments, this is how Angelina calls her fans.
Great reaction girls and welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole as her fans like to call it. Start anywhere you like, she is amazing in all her covers and originals. I'm sure that her fans will give you some background in the comments. Her early years are great and surprising with many classics to amaze you. Enjoy the ride. Just noticed you have over 11k views on this video, the power of Angelina.
She’s done over 100 different covers in her own style because she writes her own music but my favorites are feeling good, million miles she just wrote and I put a spell on you by screaming J Hawkins those to me are some of the best performances ranging in ages seven all the way to 14
An original, only one. Brilliant, like the shine of a shooting star...I just hope her flame burns long, strong and true. I have little doubt it will! What a blessing to have my heart and mind tickled when I hear her sing. What a treat to see a budding star grow through the phases of maturity
Looking forward to seeing you lovely ladies viewing reactions to more of “the Barefoot Princess”. I’m a couple months of having become aware of the incredibly gifted talent of Ms Jordan ... she is indeed blessing the world.
You should watch Angelina Jordan's very first audition at the age of 7 singing Gloomy Sunday (Billie Holiday's version) on Norway's Got Talent (which she won 😄 ).
Wonderful Reaction. Both of you make a great team. I loved your reaction. Angelina has over 130 music videos, Covers by over 70 artists. She’s been singing in the studio since she was six years old. She turned 15 on January 10 of this year, last month.
She Won Norway’s got talent at 7 years old... she is Brilliant takes a song and re-does the whole song! Love your mum, Your mum must be a big Shirley Bassey Fan, Every performance she did she demanded bottles of bubbly included!
You will be happy to know that Angelina made her outfit from material that had prints of her grandma's paintings. You have a lot of catching up to do because there are 130 Angelina videos on you tube!
This is the most entertaining reaction I’ve ever viewed. The two of you are hilarious, adorable (in a sweet way) and authentic. Looking forward to more mom and daughter reactions.
1st: Daughter you are amazingly beautiful. 2nd: Mother is gorgeous Now that we got that out of the way - I love watching reactions to Angelina for the first time as I reacted the same way. Stunned, Amazed, Blown away and maybe cause of her age I felt very proud of her. Just an absolute amazing performance!! Cheers!!
I recommend these Angelina J songs 1) I put a spell on you (black and white version). 2) Feeling good. 3) Summertime. 4) Gloomy sunday (when she is 7 years old). 5) Goodbye yellow brick road. AGT. and 6) I have nothing (whitney H song) I think these are the best she has done. She has the most soulful and jazzy voice on the planet right now.
It's always a special moment to watch someone discovering Angelina for the first time! Lovely reaction! And there is so much more to see from her Hope you keep reacting to Angelina!
"The best thing to grace the planet" as regards Angelina is probably the truest statement on the internet. Thank you for this lovely reaction, it was very enjoyable.
I think you fell in love with her from the very first note..congratulations, you’ve just discovered one of the finest vocalist of all time and she still hasn’t reached full potential..welcome aboard ))) may I heartily recommend her interpretation of Screamin J Hawkins “I Put A Spell on You” aged just gone 9..enjoy))
Angelina Jordan Astar is her full, legal name. Thank you so much. Angelina is destined to be the greatest singer in the history of recorded music. And live music too at least as far back as human memory can recall.
She aranged that herself and she has been singing since she was 1 and 1/2 yrs old. Million Miles she wrote and it is about her grandfather. Amazing Girl. Read up on her you will not be disappointed.
Now you know what god listens to. Start at the beginning when she's was 7 and work your way up .than you will realise how great she is.she will blow your mind.
Ladies, l can't wait to see you react to all the other heartfelt performances by Angelina. She has so much soul. It's like she's from another era. I think that's why she brings tears to us older folk. I pray the music industry doesn't mess with her sound, style and mind.
By the way, this was recorded in Oct 2019 and first broadcast in Jan 2020. You two are now facing a choice that all AJ Fans face: "Do I go back to her performances as a 7-year-old (GLOOMY SUNDAY, SUMMERTIME, etc) then move forward into a masterpiece PUT A SPELL (at the hefty experienced age of 9), or do I pick up more contemporary performances (MILLION MILES), etc." There's a great chance you'll end up doing dozens and dozens - so hopping around is also fairly common. But "going to her early performances" gives the listener a perspective on her artistic breadth.
I really enjoyed your reaction because it's very much how we all feel on first seeing this wonderful talent. She won Norway Got Talent when she was 7 singing Jazz, why not explore there if you enjoy Jazz. In the contest she sang: Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang and finished with Summertime. There is also a beautiful story for which a book has been published why she is barefooted. She is known as the Barefoot Princess and raises millions for children around the world. We look forward to Angelina journey.
JUST SUBSCRIBED. You noticed so many things. She made the outfit from one of her grandma's prints. Angelina is a child prodigy with a huge heart. Has raised millions for charity. She arranged this song as she has done with all of her songs including songs during Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old which she won. Youngest person to publish a book in Norway at 9 about why she only performs barefoot. I promise that you'll be even more amazed at many of her performances esp. when she was younger like 6 or 7. Angelina has a huge fan base and we all enjoy watching people discover her incredible talents. BTW Angelina Jordan Astar is her birth name. Thank you for a great reaction!
Yes, crying is a normal reaction when listening to Angelina’s rendition of this song the first time. I still remember how shocked I was and I’ll remember that forever because she is a pure pure talent. Indeed the best thing on the planet now. Love your genuine reactions. You two are very beautiful too. ❤️❤️
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Congratulations on discovering the most moving and most versatile singer I've ever heard. Angelina has many astounding performances available on TH-cam, all of which will blow you away. I look forward to your next reaction to her!
Welcome to Angelina's world and her angels (fans). At age 13, Angelina creates a genius arrangement for one of the most beloved songs on Earth then delivers a flawless performance on one of the world's biggest stages. Please take the time to read the comments from all of the angels along with the biography I compiled for my all time favorite vocalist. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. 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 befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no 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.” 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 so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT 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. The next performance on NGT was her cover of 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. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8. 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 56% of the votes from the nine finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
Andy Schnell - I’ve been following AJ for about two and a half years and like everyone else, I was mesmerized from the start. My knowledge of AJ was a bit piecemeal. I didn’t have a plan... it was just a slow but amazingly enjoyable journey. Like peeling an onion, my knowledge of her grew over time, all while listening to her beautiful voice. Only recently did I start reading the comments section to expand on, and confirm what I’ve learned of Angelina. My respect and admiration for her still continues to grow. Thank you for this great comment Andy. It is the most thorough bio of Angelina that I have read to date. It is very well written too... thank you.
@@peterhormell1511 you are most welcome. I was just thinking today I should make a few changes to bring it up to date, but may be best to wait until her album drops.
What splendid, top drawer, spiffing, sophisticated ladies. So few remain in the U.K., but just like omnibuses (so I'm informed) two topper versions appear simultaneously! Joy upon joy! So entertaining.
It’s so fantastic to see people expierience Angelina for the first time! Especially when their vocal coaches or reaction tubers but even when it’s Simon ........ by the time her short versions like this are through ..... they like Harvey Mandel don’t really know what happened ! In some instances ... I think their whole existence in what ea of them do .... is almost shattered .... they are speechless .... stunned ..... in shock almost ..... and two things occur ...... they say oh GOD repeatedly .... and they have tears rolling down their cheeks ! My wish is that ..... No matter who they are or like to place themselves as being ...... that they get it ! ....... and realize ....... then ..... or in time * they’ve just gotten as close to GOD as they may ever be........ and if they are confused .... or they scare from it and go back into their comfort zone ..... all they have got to do is see why ANGEL. (Ina) * optional ..... ... wears no shoes while performing
Over 200K views, impressive! Maybe it's time to do another? I suggest either Feeling Good when she was still very young (10) or When We Were Young (13) where she performs it live in the same outfit she wore here. Of course there are also her newest releases...two originals written by her: Million Miles and 7th Heaven which you should read the notes in the description first before beginning and a cover of All I Ask in which she absolutely slays Adele. Your call. Love both of you and LOVE your reactions to Angelina. ✌️💖
Thank you, Ladies, for your great first reaction to Angelina. There are many other comments here that will give you excellent information about her and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! That’s what TH-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
I had to come back and watch this one again. The mother's reaction is so organic and lovely I could watch it a million times. She comes across as intentionally flip and casual but a switch is flipped and she five in the deep end. Love her. Love Angelina.
Welcome aboard, ladies...do more reactions to Angelina Jordan and be prepared to see your subscriptions explode! You may want to start with her Norway's Got Talent performances when she was 7-8 years old. I guarantee you will be in awe.
What a wonderful combination of both a mom and her daughter reacting to my favourite singer! Thank you. She has brought me to tears so many times the last year, happy tears only. There are so many wonderful performances left for you to react to, if you should want to. One of my favourites is "What a difference a day makes", performed right after she won Norway Got Talent at the age of 8 and in front of somehwere between 5 and 10 thousand people in an outdoor concert. And not nervous, which she has stated that she is while performing.
Ladies, you've just met (virtually) the greatest musical prodigy in the last 300 years.
Queen likes it so much, they put it on their tweet.
and they and her did make $$$ from the iTUNES release... go have a listen. SLIGHTLY slower than the show version and no crowd noise.
One person listed a 132 song listing of what she's done from age 6 to the present. Her
multi genre ability is beyond what any other singer has ever done. She always appears
on stage in bare feet. The reason being that after meeting a poor girl in the streets of a
war torn town in the mid-east when she was 6, found her giving the girl her own shoes
and vowing to never wear shoes when performing to bring attention to all those poor
souls who can't even afford a simple pair of shoes. When she won Norway's Got Talent
at 8, she donated the winnings to charity and has done numerous charity concerts
throughout the world. The artwork on her dress comes from her 'artist' grandmother
Mery Zamani who also was a child prodigy like Angelina.
Try watching Angelina Jordan sing “. I’m still holding out for you “. @ 13 years old , fabulous.
You're right, I've heard it so many times and I'm speechless every time. How is that possible.....?
I believe she was Ten when she did that.
Angelina Jordan wrote this version and when Queen heard it they gave her permission to copywrite her version. Certainly subscribed and absolutely agree with your mother about champagne. From an island off the West coast of Canada.
ray Queen doesn't own the copyright to BR.
Two beautiful women reacting to an amazing talented girl... can't go wrong really.
The blonde lady in the front row of the audience is her Mother, seated between her little sister and her grandmother. Her grandmother designed her outfit.
Angelina won Norway's got talent when she was 7 years old. The clothes she was wearing is taken from her grandmother's artistry and I believe Angelina sewed it together. Angelina turned 15 years old 10 January 2021, and published a book in Norway when she was 9 years old, making her Norway's youngest published author, "Between two Hearts"; explaining why she sing barefooted at every public performance. Angelina Jordan is not just a gifted and talented musician but a humanitarian as well.
Rusty Shackelford who is a super fan and all things Angelina can tell you more. I am sure if you do more Angelina Jordan reactions your subscriptions will increase dramatically. This girl is very special !!!
Cheers, and thank you for your reaction Mom ... ooops sorry I'm not the youngest either ... I always have tears in my eyes when I hear Angelina
I love you both! Girls, you are such a warm & elegant treat..thank you.🤩
No one wrote that version for Angelina. She does all her own arrangements!
❤❤❤
"How does anyone make that noise".....I don't know....I ask that every time I listen to Angelina.
You said it all, Mother ... "She's blessing the planet right now." AND she designed the fabric print that she's wearing!!
Her grandmother and Angelina put that outfit together I believe!
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! Please come back to your Upscale Talk Show!!! Miss Jordon Angel Fans are on Stand By!!!! We the People of the World of Caring Souls need your Presents in this time of Life! So fun and warm thoughts on the Mind when you two share your personal thoughts about what your talking & Teaching!
Angelina is a 'one in a million' songstress that should be listened to at every opportunity. Her jazz classics are the best around today. She began her professional career at seven years old, winning Norway's Got Talent at eight and has sung all over the world since then. She has more than a hundred cover songs recorded on TH-cam as well as a number of originals and has recently released a song "Million Miles" from her American record company, Republic Records. She is great and I hope you start reacting to many of her works... thanks!
You really need to watch her at 7yrs old on Norway's Got Talent - if you like jazz you will love Angelina!
oh my .. are you two in for a magic ride with Angelina! it will be so much fun watching you getting to know her and taking us along to bask in yet another journey of wonder as you discover her talent, her goodness, .. all that she is!
I look forward to it!
Angelina Jordan Astar is from Norway. She recently turned 15 and lives in Los Angeles. She signed with Republic Records this past year and is working on her first album with Republic. The outfit she is wearing was made by herself and represents her grandmother's art. Her grandmother is a well known artist and is originally from Iran.

Here she is at 8yrs old singing "What a difference a day makes". 💖💖
You have found the jazz rabbithole, ladies! Keep your tissues handy, she makes everyone cry. Look forward to more reactions, well done!
You have discovered someone very special here. This is just a very small taste of the insane talent Angelina has. You have so much more to hear from her. She has been singing like a seasoned professional since she was 7 years old, and has literally dozens and dozens of masterpiece level performances for you to see. The people that "get" Angelina usually get her within seconds, and I can tell that is the case here. As impressive as this was... just wait until you hear more. She gets better with every new side you see to her incredible versatility.
And as always for anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
Update: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she has released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!

Amazing, thank you so much for all the information! 👌 Angelina sounds like a star! She has done so much already! The story about her wearing no shoes is wonderful! 💕

You are the best. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. You are greatly appreciated.
You should react to Angelina when she was 11 years old, doing a rehearsal in her home, singing Dolly Parton's, "I will always love you". You can really hear how beautiful and pure her voice is. I am a retired Fireman watching from Wisconsin, and have to say that your mother is totally charming.
Wow - we love Dolly Parton - and that song! OK, that's going on the list. Thank you so much for your lovely words about Mother - will pass that on, she will love you for that. x
Congratulations! You've just discovered the most impressive vocalist out there. Enjoy the ride. You're addicted already, I can tell. :)
She does her own arrangements and is a musical prodigy.
I encountered Angelina a month ago and I have been listening to her ever since. Her talent is amazing and she can sing anything. I would love to buy all her songs from when she was little until now.
Her vocals are the musical instruments.
REACT : GABRIEL HENRIQUE (BRASIL) VISION OF LOVE .........................TRUE ME IS FANTASTC!
Thank you so much for filling us in on all the facts. She most certainly is sensational. x
She over does it with embellishments on top of the exaggerated vibrato and other than that she adorable.
You have to check out the new Suspicious minds cover by Angelina Jordan. The hairdo is Priscilla Presley, the black leather suit is like the one Elvis wore in 1968 tour. The red guitar as well. She also has a soundtrack of some sort in the new Elvis movie. Love your reactions.
I only watched the intro and have already liked and subscribed. A mom and her born are amazing. Angelina will make your hearts melt any song any day any life she is the best of the best. You 2 already are good mom and daughter champion just great now I will watch your video
"Someone you Loved" AGT
It is mind blowing 🤯
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reactions & commentary, & I hope you continue to discover more of her amazing voice, you won't be disappointed!
Dying to hear you two listen to more Angelina.
Skip the AGT and go directly to I Put a Spell on You. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
9year old Thunder Goddess.
Angelina performs barefoot after meeting a poor girl in the Middle East. Angelina was six at the time. The girl was weighing people for money. She was barefoot and her feet were scarred. Angelina struck up a conversation with her. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to perform with shoes until all children have shoes. Angelina has helped raise millions for charities. She won Norway's got Talent at 8. Published a book at 9 about the incident with the poor girl. She loves her family deeply and also her devoted fans. She just turned 15 on Jan 10th, 2021.
What a lovely girl Angelina is! Thank you so much for sharing this information with us! 💕
Clearly you can see she has a following. Love you ladies. AJ has jazz roots as l am sure you will discover. Although you see her at 13, she has been an artist/professional singer since age 8. So she has been at it for some years. Some music she produces is her experimenting with styles and genres. Some is heartfelt and almost always changed to her style. The amazing thing you will notice even from this first reaction is as soon as her eyes close she becomes the song. It is intimate and personal and draws you in like you seldom experience. Good luck on your voyage. Look forward to more from you two.
Outstanding Viewing Numbers!!!! Reality needs you two!!! Angie wants to see you react too!!! THANK YOU!!! DD.
* the outfit is made by Angelina and her grandmother based on her grandmothers artwork =)
Thanks for sharing these details. Thank you for Caring about Miss Angilina Jordon: The "Emerald Pearl" of Norway! Has worked her Music Craft her entire Life! Now just 15 years old! Greatest Voice ever heard, anywhere!!!! Magic Sound Healer to all Living & Past ON!!!! Shockingly Very Special. OMG!
WOW what a SUPERSTAR performance 😍😍😍 Happy weekend everyone! ✨
WOW, girls! I really loved your honest reaction to Angelina 💕 From a girl to another, cheers! Long live champagne, lol.
She wasn't really auditioning. She was invited to participate because this is America's Got Talent - THE CHAMPIONS. That is, only winners or runner-ups from other country's Got Talent editions can compete ;)
And you went totally blind without knowing anything about her? Really, you have to get prepared to listen to Angelina, she hits you in the gut, your heart each and every time she opens her mouth 😉
She was born in Norway, she is currently barely 15 (January 10th) and was 13 at the time of this performance.
Her outfit was made from a pattern taken from her grandmother's paintings (Iranian artist Mery Zamani). She always performs barefoot because she met a girl in the Middle East when she was 6 years old who was barefoot. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and promised to never perform with shoes until poor children around the world were taken care of. She later wrote a book about the whole experience.
So many things to tell you about Angelina... but I guess you are hooked now and will continue your research and reacting to her.
Truly waiting for your next reaction 👌😊
@@madelaca4589 So happy to have you here, thank you! 💕 -- and WOW thank you for sharing the information, Angelina is amazing! 👌 xoxo
She is from Norway and she was 13 at this time...she is the greatest singer of our time IMO. There are over 130 videos on You tube. Have fun.
Thank you for the information - we really appreciate it. We are so looking forward to hearing more of her. x
She's a genius. She reinvented (arranged) that iconic song. Many of her other covers are equally amazing. Take a look at her version of Rihanna's Stay, or Adele's When Were Young, or Lana del Rey's Born to Die. Her 9 year old version of I Put a Spell on You is justly legendary. Or her new original single Million Miles.
By faaaaaar my favorite Angelina Jordan reaction ....so funny..sweet and charming .
This is the best reaction video of Angelina Jordan I've seen. The mother... wow, you could see it just wash over her. She started out all giggly and sipping champagne without a care in the world. Then the first line of the song her whole demeanor changed. It was really cool. Love these two.
She has recently released "Million Miles" dedicated to her deceased grandfather and anyone else who has lost a love one.
th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html
Noted! Can't wait to hear it. We are missing her and will be doing more reactions to Angelina soon! x
Please do the live studio version instead. It’s much better
@@luisgz10 the live studio def better!!
@@gregjohnson9681 no, do the live studio version, please.
She does all of her arrangements. She is 6 feet tall in this video. She made that outfit with her Grandmother's art imprinted on it. She is the youngest author in Norway history. She is awesome. And yes that is her real name, Angilina Jordan Astar. Great name. Great reaction ladies. Your mom looks fantastic. Beautiful!😍
Thank you for clarification of the name. I had heard it before but was not certain of the accuracy of that info.
Angelina Jordan Astar. How appropriate!
Thank you Ricky. We really appreciate all the comments and the information. Going off to give Mother your compliments - it will make her day! x
you just find a musical treasure,the girl with so many voices,musicstyles,in any age,she is the girl who bring the old classic song back to life,she is very addicted you see,and thanks ,and welcome to a long journey of greatness from Angelina,if you follow her,great react.
The dress that Angelina Jordan is wearing is by her Iranian grand-mother, a recognized artist.
I just like the fact that your mother feels that champagne is a morning beverage instead of coffee 😂🍾🥂 She's my kind of person 👍
Welcome on your AJ journey..Trust me, the surprises keep coming, and so I DO expect you do to a new one of hers EVERY week haha..enjoy enjoy!!
it's fun getting surprised, isn't it?
For the biggest surprise that you'll get this year check out Angelina singing an homage to Screaming Jay Hawking's 50's classic, 'I've Put A Spell On You'
Black and White version... you'll not believe your eyes/ears. 100% guaranteed.
Great reaction! Please continue your journey into Angelina's rabbit hole, you will not regret it! Suggestions will be posted by other 'Angels' in their comments, this is how Angelina calls her fans.
Great reaction girls and welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole as her fans like to call it. Start anywhere you like, she is amazing in all her covers and originals. I'm sure that her fans will give you some background in the comments. Her early years are great and surprising with many classics to amaze you. Enjoy the ride. Just noticed you have over 11k views on this video, the power of Angelina.
She’s done over 100 different covers in her own style because she writes her own music but my favorites are feeling good, million miles she just wrote and I put a spell on you by screaming J Hawkins those to me are some of the best performances ranging in ages seven all the way to 14
An original, only one. Brilliant, like the shine of a shooting star...I just hope her flame burns long, strong and true. I have little doubt it will! What a blessing to have my heart and mind tickled when I hear her sing. What a treat to see a budding star grow through the phases of maturity
Looking forward to seeing you lovely ladies viewing reactions to more of “the Barefoot Princess”. I’m a couple months of having become aware of the incredibly gifted talent of Ms Jordan ... she is indeed blessing the world.
You and your daughter are seriously amazingly beautiful!
May I suggest to you Angelina singing “You Are Always On My Mind”, recorded just after the passing of her Grandfather.
You should watch Angelina Jordan's very first audition at the age of 7 singing Gloomy Sunday (Billie Holiday's version) on Norway's Got Talent (which she won 😄 ).
Wonderful Reaction. Both of you make a great team. I loved your reaction. Angelina has over 130 music videos, Covers by over 70 artists. She’s been singing in the studio since she was six years old. She turned 15 on January 10 of this year, last month.
There's a collection of all her performances by someone named rusty shackles.this performance was on international championship showcase.
She Won Norway’s got talent at 7 years old... she is Brilliant takes a song and re-does the whole song!
Love your mum, Your mum must be a big Shirley Bassey Fan, Every performance she did she demanded bottles of bubbly included!
Please listen to Angelina Jordan singing, "I've Got A Spell On You"
She was 8 years old at the time.
My favorite comment from your mom. “Can I have her in my jazz club please?” Love this reaction from the both of you.
You will be happy to know that Angelina made her outfit from material that had prints of her grandma's paintings. You have a lot of catching up to do because there are 130 Angelina videos on you tube!
WE LOVE your reactions! AJ is a once in a generation talent. She is the best thing to grace the planet indeed.
Just found you guys. I'm an Angelina fan so you popped up. Your banter is delightful. Can't wait to see your reactions to other Angelina videos.
This is the most entertaining reaction I’ve ever viewed. The two of you are hilarious, adorable (in a sweet way) and authentic. Looking forward to more mom and daughter reactions.
1st: Daughter you are amazingly beautiful. 2nd: Mother is gorgeous Now that we got that out of the way - I love watching reactions to Angelina for the first time as I reacted the same way. Stunned, Amazed, Blown away and maybe cause of her age I felt very proud of her. Just an absolute amazing performance!! Cheers!!
I recommend these Angelina J songs 1) I put a spell on you (black and white version). 2) Feeling good. 3) Summertime. 4) Gloomy sunday (when she is 7 years old). 5) Goodbye yellow brick road. AGT. and 6) I have nothing (whitney H song) I think these are the best she has done. She has the most soulful and jazzy voice on the planet right now.
You may also mention i´d rather go blind
Stay!
"Sheild" and " Million Miles".
Everytime you say goodbye
You need to watch and listen to her at 6 years old .. I who have nothing. That her nervous power. While reading g English
It's always a special moment to watch someone discovering Angelina for the first time!
Lovely reaction!
And there is so much more to see from her
Hope you keep reacting to Angelina!
"The best thing to grace the planet" as regards Angelina is probably the truest statement on the internet. Thank you for this lovely reaction, it was very enjoyable.
Thank You for Caring about other People & Miss Angilina Jordon: The" Emerald Pearl" of Norway!...
I think you fell in love with her from the very first note..congratulations, you’ve just discovered one of the finest vocalist of all time and she still hasn’t reached full potential..welcome aboard ))) may I heartily recommend her interpretation of Screamin J Hawkins “I Put A Spell on You” aged just gone 9..enjoy))
Angelina Jordan Astar is her full, legal name. Thank you so much. Angelina is destined to be the greatest singer in the history of recorded music. And live music too at least as far back as human memory can recall.
Are we allowed to change her name to TheStar?
Wellcome to Angelina's world, prepare for 130 shocks
She aranged that herself and she has been singing since she was 1 and 1/2 yrs old.
Million Miles she wrote and it is about her grandfather.
Amazing Girl. Read up on her you will not be disappointed.
Her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar you know like A⭐
Now you know what god listens to. Start at the beginning when she's was 7 and work your way up .than you will realise how great she is.she will blow your mind.
Ladies, l can't wait to see you react to all the other heartfelt performances by Angelina. She has so much soul. It's like she's from another era. I think that's why she brings tears to us older folk. I pray the music industry doesn't mess with her sound, style and mind.
Thank you Colin. We can't wait to react some more to this amazing singer. We agree with you, she is like some one from another era. x
Love these two, mother and daughter.
By the way, this was recorded in Oct 2019 and first broadcast in Jan 2020. You two are now facing a choice that all AJ Fans face: "Do I go back to her performances as a 7-year-old (GLOOMY SUNDAY, SUMMERTIME, etc) then move forward into a masterpiece PUT A SPELL (at the hefty experienced age of 9), or do I pick up more contemporary performances (MILLION MILES), etc." There's a great chance you'll end up doing dozens and dozens - so hopping around is also fairly common. But "going to her early performances" gives the listener a perspective on her artistic breadth.
I really enjoyed your reaction because it's very much how we all feel on first seeing this wonderful talent. She won Norway Got Talent when she was 7 singing Jazz, why not explore there if you enjoy Jazz. In the contest she sang: Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang and finished with Summertime. There is also a beautiful story for which a book has been published why she is barefooted. She is known as the Barefoot Princess and raises millions for children around the world. We look forward to Angelina journey.
if you like jazz this is your birthday as thats her forte welcome to world of angelina
Yes , mom will positively love I put a spell on you !
If you like music of any kind you have come to the right place Angelina sings it all🤗🤗
REACT : GABRIEL HENRIQUE (BRASIL) VISION OF LOVE .........................TRUE ME IS FANTASTC!
She masters every genre she sings in.
We are so happy to have discovered her and all of you guys - amazing fans! x
Well, you almost missed the boat........but welcome aboard the Angelina Express.......😁😁😁😁
JUST SUBSCRIBED. You noticed so many things. She made the outfit from one of her grandma's prints. Angelina is a child prodigy with a huge heart. Has raised millions for charity. She arranged this song as she has done with all of her songs including songs during Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old which she won. Youngest person to publish a book in Norway at 9 about why she only performs barefoot. I promise that you'll be even more amazed at many of her performances esp. when she was younger like 6 or 7. Angelina has a huge fan base and we all enjoy watching people discover her incredible talents. BTW Angelina Jordan Astar is her birth name. Thank you for a great reaction!
Yes, crying is a normal reaction when listening to Angelina’s rendition of this song the first time. I still remember how shocked I was and I’ll remember that forever because she is a pure pure talent. Indeed the best thing on the planet now. Love your genuine reactions. You two are very beautiful too. ❤️❤️
She won Norway's got Talent at age 7. Search Angelina Jordon 'I Put a Spell on You' and hold on!
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Congratulations on discovering the most moving and most versatile singer I've ever heard. Angelina has many astounding performances available on TH-cam, all of which will blow you away. I look forward to your next reaction to her!
Welcome to Angelina's world and her angels (fans). At age 13, Angelina creates a genius arrangement for one of the most beloved songs on Earth then delivers a flawless performance on one of the world's biggest stages. Please take the time to read the comments from all of the angels along with the biography I compiled for my all time favorite vocalist. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
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 befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no 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.” 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 so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on TH-cam recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT 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.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of 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. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8.
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 56% of the votes from the nine finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
yo andy
What a beautiful and unique story, thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us! 💕
Andy Schnell -
I’ve been following AJ for about two and a half years and like everyone else, I was mesmerized from the start. My knowledge of AJ was a bit piecemeal. I didn’t have a plan... it was just a slow but amazingly enjoyable journey. Like peeling an onion, my knowledge of her grew over time, all while listening to her beautiful voice. Only recently did I start reading the comments section to expand on, and confirm what I’ve learned of Angelina. My respect and admiration for her still continues to grow.
Thank you for this great comment Andy. It is the most thorough bio of Angelina that I have read to date. It is very well written too... thank you.
@@peterhormell1511 you are most welcome. I was just thinking today I should make a few changes to bring it up to date, but may be best to wait until her album drops.
AJ is a youth with old soul, she is a gift to the world.❤️❤️❤️
Amazing and beautiful watching an angel touching someone's soul... my 72yo Mum reacted the same when I played this for her...
How lovely - have to remember Angelina on Mother's Day for our Mothers! x
Yeah Mom! Thanks to both of you. Please watch more of her!
What a wonderful reaction...Angelina is a unique voice!
What splendid, top drawer, spiffing, sophisticated ladies. So few remain in the U.K., but just like omnibuses (so I'm informed) two topper versions appear simultaneously! Joy upon joy! So entertaining.
It’s so fantastic to see people expierience Angelina for the first time! Especially when their vocal coaches or reaction tubers but even when it’s Simon ........ by the time her short versions like this are through ..... they like Harvey Mandel don’t really know what happened ! In some instances ... I think their whole existence in what ea of them do .... is almost shattered .... they are speechless .... stunned ..... in shock almost ..... and two things occur ...... they say oh GOD repeatedly .... and they have tears rolling down their cheeks ! My wish is that ..... No matter who they are or like to place themselves as being ...... that they get it ! ....... and realize ....... then ..... or in time * they’ve just gotten as close to GOD as they may ever be........ and if they are confused .... or they scare from it and go back into their comfort zone ..... all they have got to do is see why ANGEL. (Ina) * optional ..... ... wears no shoes while performing
Over 200K views, impressive!
Maybe it's time to do another?
I suggest either Feeling Good when she was still very young (10) or When We Were Young (13) where she performs it live in the same outfit she wore here.
Of course there are also her newest releases...two originals written by her: Million Miles and 7th Heaven which you should read the notes in the description first before beginning and a cover of All I Ask in which she absolutely slays Adele.
Your call.
Love both of you and LOVE your reactions to Angelina.
✌️💖
you and your mum are so special together i love watching your reaction videos so happy i found them
Listen to Angelina singing "what a difference a day makes", "gloomy Sunday". Mesmerizing!
Thank you, Ladies, for your great first reaction to Angelina. There are many other comments here that will give you excellent information about her and her prodigious talent. I know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes and views go through the roof! That’s what TH-cam is looking for from you. Just know that Angelina’s fans are very, VERY loyal!!
I agree, "their" reaction is touching, genuine, humorous etc etc
I had to come back and watch this one again. The mother's reaction is so organic and lovely I could watch it a million times. She comes across as intentionally flip and casual but a switch is flipped and she five in the deep end. Love her. Love Angelina.
Welcome aboard, ladies...do more reactions to Angelina Jordan and be prepared to see your subscriptions explode! You may want to start with her Norway's Got Talent performances when she was 7-8 years old. I guarantee you will be in awe.
Check out her live performance of "Feeling Good" at about age ten.
What a wonderful combination of both a mom and her daughter reacting to my favourite singer! Thank you. She has brought me to tears so many times the last year, happy tears only. There are so many wonderful performances left for you to react to, if you should want to. One of my favourites is "What a difference a day makes", performed right after she won Norway Got Talent at the age of 8 and in front of somehwere between 5 and 10 thousand people in an outdoor concert. And not nervous, which she has stated that she is while performing.
At this time, the video of AJ performing Bohemian Rhapsody has been viewed over 150 million times.
And I just love to hear her dahnse!
I am obsessed with mum!!!
