Great first reaction! i just subscribed for more Angelina. Starting to sing at age 18 months she was the best ever for her age. At 6,7,8,9 the best singer at each of those ages. From ages 10,11 and 12 she became a better singer than most 20~30 year olds. Then at 13, 14 she started to overtake some of the best singers now alive. currently from 15, 16 and going foreword she is better than over 90% of any singer past or present. Just my opinion, but who else is capable of taking ANY song and making it as good or better than the original? Can't wait to watch your reaction to about 160 Angelina videos. Thanks from Alaska
You should do reaction video to i put a spell on you cover by Angelina Jordan. It will blow your mind. And she's only 8 years old. She did all the music arrangements. You can see her in the video writing down notes for how she wanted the band to play
This young lady is a vocal chameleon. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian lady is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
if you are blown away that she is 13 here - check our "I put a spell on you" - she was just 9 there! - you would not believe your ears! Not to mention her performances on Norway got talent - a little seven years old baby doll with a style of singing... She is a true child prodigy way beyond her years in her understanding of music.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (145+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you figure out why she performs barefooted! Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. Here are a few winners from Angelina: "A Man's World"(James Brown) th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html "Lovin You"(Etta James-I Just Want To Make Love To You) th-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/w-d-xo.html "Feeling Good" (various) th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html Her original "Million Miles" th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html Her original "7th Heaven" th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html
Speaking of Norah Jones, she saw Angelina Jordan sing amazing jazz songs from age 7 and was really impressed. In fact, when Norah Jones was to perform her sold out concert of 40,000 people in Korea, she invited Angelina to open her concert at the age of 11 years old. When Angelina was 12, Quincy Jones asked her if she would open his 85th birthday concert in London. She sang the Frank Sinatra classic "Fly Me to the Moo At the age of 8, she was invited to sing at the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize concert singing "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong These are just a few of the notable places Angelina performed at. Hopeful you'll react to more of her videos (over 170 now, covering all genres). She turned 16 this year.
You cannot go wrong with anything Angelina sings. Your next video should be 'I put a spell on you' (black and white version). Angelina is 9 years old and gives the performance of a lifetime.
Congratulations! You just discovered the best Vocal Artist on the Planet! IMO This opinion is quickly being reinforced as her career is finally starting to I believe explode. I'm surprised there are still many who know nothing about her but again I think that is going to change.If you want to hear music listen to anyone. If you want to feel it listen to Angelina. You have a lot of catching up to do if you decide to follow this girl and it would be a mistake in my opinion not to. Not just a great artist but an even greater Human Being! Hang on. Her angels will soon fill you in on her incredible journey & accomplishments When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. th-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/w-d-xo.html Perfect again!

New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction & appreciation for Angelina's incredible reinterpretation & performance of Queen's epic song. Highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) at ages 7-8 - &/or to fully appreciate her raw talent, you need to check out her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Nice reaction! She actually opened for Norah Jones at a concert in Seoul in 2017. This performance, which aired on January of 2020 was the first time I heard of her and I've been a fan since. In my opinion, she is becoming the most talented singer I have ever seen in my 52 years of life. Currently 16, she sings like a seasoned performer with decades of experience under her belt. Please continue your journey down this wonderful rabbit hole. Best wishes and God Bless!
I’ve been waiting for you to react to Angelina since the days you discovered Home Free! Great to see you getting there, and getting her! This girl was asked by Norah Jones to help her out (Norah was running late for her show for 40,000 in Seoul in 2017), which she did by confidently singing to the enormous crowd - at 11 years old. She had been on stage in the earlier part of the day, and I hope somebody gives you the link to “Crazy”. AGT was all recorded at the end of Oct 2019, start to finish, so Angelina was 13 then, but turned 14 four days after this went out. Queen immediately praised her on all their social media, and gave her their permission to copyright her version. Just this short one, though, don’t think she’s done the whole yard, - yet! Great reaction, thanks.
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen on a talent show ❤️ Please check out her cover of Adele's Easy on Me and Adele's All I Ask. Angelina is 15 in both performances
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on TH-cam performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. The reason they still take it fairly slowly is that she is only 16 years old - This in agreement with Republic Record, the family, and Angelina herself. She is now working on her record. Angelina has already sung in many countries, and all important people in the music industry know who she is. They only need to press the button when the time is right for the next step. No point in "burning out" a 16 year old jewel of a singer and I think many people forget how young she really is since she is so mature for her age! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion on facebook. Give credit to Angelina Jordan by subscribing to her official YouTun Channel !!!
I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th, 2020. It was this performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, and I have listened to her every day since then. She is the most impressive singer I've ever heard.

Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: th-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/w-d-xo.html ---- Mery has TH-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: th-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/w-d-xo.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: th-cam.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/w-d-xo.html) ---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: th-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/w-d-xo.html) ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: th-cam.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/w-d-xo.html] [as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: th-cam.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/w-d-xo.html] ---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old.

Eriksen) based in LA. They have won 4 Grammy Awards. They also worked with Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, and others] [Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said] [Angelina commented, “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance,” she smiles] [Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared] [Angelina said that studio video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”] ---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old.

Enjoyed your reaction. Have been watching everything I can of Angelina's and now listen to her every day. The most beautiful voice and soul of anyone I've listened to. Although Eva Cassidy is also sublime.
Thanks so much for a nice reaction. And thanks for playing the video without interruption. I hope you do join all of us around the world on her journey. Lots of her fans (her 'angels') will be sending you all kinds of data (playlists and personal info) and I will look forward to more reactions to her from you. I have subscribed.
According to Angelina herself ( at The view - 2014) she started very young, at 1,5 (yo), and she started with jazz. She has a lot of newer originals and covers, but I recommend some of her older stuff as well. After the interview she sang "Fly me to the moon", 8 years old th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html.
Angelina created a genius arrangement and delivered a performance for the ages. The surviving members of Queen loved her version so much they posted it on their Twitter. Angelina signed with Republic Records at age 14 but her family requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible so she remains unknown to most people. Please read the biography I compiled for Angelina. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. Angelina plays the piano and guitar and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. A 9 years old, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina has concerts scheduled in Norway in July 2022. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
This was an audition, so it was crafted to fit in AGTC's time criteria. There over 160 performances and 5 originals, all of which were before she turned 16 this January. I still recommend following up with the song in the comment below. For newer performances, try her Adele cover of "Easy on Me" (th-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/w-d-xo.html) . For jazzy Angelina, try her original "7th Heaven" (th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html). Both of these were released through Republic Records while 15 y/o. Her original RR release was "Million Miles", which was first recorded when she was 14. It was written while she grieved the loss of her grandfather. There's an official music video, a black and white live studio performance, and an illustrated lyrics version (illustrated by Angelina and her grandmother, Meri, Zamani also a child prodigy but in poetry and art. She also designed most of Angelina's attire, including the colorful outfit you just saw on AGTC).
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. 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* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗
Fantastic reaction and you just entered a World of Music that will change the way you listen to music! You will not only listen but will feel it and feel the Love she wants to spread 1 song at a time, God Bless!
Yes, her vocals are rediculously good and have been right through 7 to 16 years. Nobody can match her at present. So much more that she can surprise you with on TH-cam, if you are interested in taking a look. Great reaction vid by the way.
Her 7-year-old audition on Norway's Got Talent was also stunning! I'm actually trying to limit my exposure to her numerous "hits" now because I don't want to become numb to all of the other great performers out there.
This is one of the big performances that will lead you down the rabbit hole into the world of Angelina Jordan. Another big entry point for listeners is her black and white studio performance of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 "I Put a Spell on You". This song has been sung by countless performers. This performance, however, is called by many as a masterpiece cover of Jay's original rendition. As always, Angelina arranges the music and lyrics of her songs, and this is no exception. You will not be disappointed if you carve out some additional time to react to this one as well. It's an unreal experience to hear little Angelina. Here's the link along with a little backstory on who Angelina Jordan is. "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" (black and white studio performance) - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - A Child Prodigy - Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy who: began singing at 16 months old; shows a clear preference for jazz/blues (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Etta James, Ben E. King, and Amy Winehouse), a talent which always work its way into every performance with her vibrato and riffs; she arranges all of her music; entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 y/o, and ended up winning; has performed around the world; her parents have kept their focus on her having a normal childhood so 90% of requests and offers have been turned down. The largest performance she has sung for was for over 40,000 people, while still a preteen in Norway. By 15 years old, she has over 160 cover performances and 5 originals. She signed with Republic Records at 14 as Angelina has found a label that shares in her vision. Her parents have still tried to preserve a normal childhood as possible for her and her little sister. She turned 16 this January, and Angelina's presence in the music industry is increasing (Here is Republic Records' page about Angelina - www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan ) - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz - Angelina is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl about her age sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefooted, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She remembers that girl every time she takes off her shoes to perform. Of the encounter, little 6 year old Angelina wrote in her diary: “The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The book and her attire Angelina wore for her AGTC audition (above) were designed by her grandmother, who was herself a child prodigy in poetry and art. She has performed in charities for children, helping to raise 21 million euros and millions of dollars.
gracias por reaccionar al ángel de los pies descalzos, espero hagas muchas más reacciones de ella. 🤗🤗 no va a dejar de sorprenderte, ella es simplemente increíble
Hi there! I found you ages ago when you started reactiing to Postmodern Jukebox, and im so glad you finally got to hear Angelina's magic voice 🌹 I checked the vod for the livestream to see wich song from her you heard, and I learned that you are a fan of Albert King! Yes! And I see you are wearing a Manchester United cap! YES! Loved your reaction, cant wait for the next one. She sings all styles and genres, in 160+ songs on YT, so its hard to recommend songs. I could give you 30-40 songs that I think are just as good as what you just heard. If you want quality, her cover of Adeles 'All I Ask' is a good one. If you want something bluesy, her cover of the Etta James classic 'Id rather go blind' will knock your socks off. Thanks again, see you in the next one 💖
Wonderful reaction PG & nice comments to (13) Angie. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Angie On AGT Champions at (13) singing her rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. . (The performance was so astounding that Queen themselves posted a video of the teen singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on their twitter page with the caption:” Wow What a rendition @angelinajordanA” And in an even more extraordinary turn of events, Queen then reportedly gave Angelina her blessing to record and release her own version of the song by giving her the copyright to do so.) Here’s her Ep of it. “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Angelina Jordan th-cam.com/video/MS2XdfgIti0/w-d-xo.html Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also so far, & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already at 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combined with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =) (Why Angie performs barefoot) Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min. Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) th-cam.com/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/w-d-xo.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction Also She did another interview at (13) at AGT-C & give's a little more reason why she performs barefoot & fills in some blanks about it from the interview when she was 9. th-cam.com/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/w-d-xo.html
In reviewing the comments, as usual , the Angels set you up with everything you need to know about this young genius/prodigy.. She covers ALL genres, but her wheelhouse is Jazz... Everything she sings is a fresh and imaginative interpretation... Always demonstrating the one of kind, like NO other talent, that is her voice!! Good on Ya, Mate!! Nice reaction, see you on the flip side😉🎶👏🏻🙌🏻😁
She is amazing indeed. Queen liked this cover so much that they gave her a license of her own to release this version. As soon as she starts singing she commands everybody’s attention and the audience goes silent and the jury is sitting there slack jawed. She has a huge catalogue of video’s on TH-cam. You could historical and start with her appearances on Norway got talent, Gloomy sunday: th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html. Other early spectacular performances are I put a spell on you: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html and Feeling good - TV show: th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html Or watch a recent released version of Funny Valentine: th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html But frankly you can go anywhere and it will be all good: she has covered many artists and genres and you can also just pick an artist you like. One thing to be expected is to be surprised at every turn :-)
I am going to post a list of songs that "I" feel are must listen to. These start when Angelina was 6 years old and end with her at her present age of 16. Everyone has their favorites, but I think these show her vocal range and her ability to sing ANY genre she chooses. Just my opinion. You just reacted to one of them. 6 years old-first time in a studio singing "I Who Have Nothing": th-cam.com/video/OtPkxHf_r0M/w-d-xo.html 7 years old audition for Norway's Got Talent singing "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html 8 years old Finals of Norway's Got Talent singing "Summertime" (turn on closed captions) th-cam.com/video/zN4kAof1is0/w-d-xo.html 8 years old on 'The View' singing "Fly Me To The Moon'': th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html 9 years old black and white tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put A Spell On You": th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html 10 years old leaked video of her demo of "I'm Still Holding Out For You": th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html 10 years old at "LIVE on The Stream Gir Tilbake" singing "Feeling Good": th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html 12 years old "How Great Thou Art": th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html 12 years old at Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018 singing James Brown's "It's A Mans World": th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html 12 years old (almost 13) "Tribute to Whitney Houston-I Have Nothing": th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html 13 years old on America's Got Talent singing her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen: th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html 13 years old another Queen cover "The Show Must Go On": th-cam.com/video/6NJv02ot5jg/w-d-xo.html 13 years old written for her by TRXD a Norwegian EDM (electronic dance music) duo, "Above The Water": th-cam.com/video/rpdHJJQAd9Y/w-d-xo.html 14 years old, Original written about her grandfather that passed away, "Million Miles": th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html 15 years old Original about never giving up hope, "7th Heaven": th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html 15 years old, cover of Adele's "Easy On Me": th-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/w-d-xo.html 16 years old cover of "My Funny Valentine" latest video: th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
Great first reaction to the generational talent Angelina Jordan Astar. She is an exceptional vocal artist an now 16. To really appreciate this young lady you need to go back to her Norway Got Talent show at age 7-8 singing classic jazz songs from Billy Holiday, George Gershwin and such. She is a master Jazz singer the likes of which have not been seen in decades. Angelina can sing pretty much any genre of music and is spectacular at all of them. Hope to see you do more Angelina....enjoyed this reaction very much. She literally has 1000 different voices...a prodigy and music genius.
Angelina also has set of short covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. Some examples include following. ---- When You Believe (This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey. It is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song. As 15-year old, Angelina sung Republic Records studio version: th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html. As 16-year old, Angelina sung TikTok version: th-cam.com/video/Pue8y9avttI/w-d-xo.html) ---- House Of The Rising Sun (Song originally was traditional folk song from 1930s. Most famous version is by British rock band The Animals in 1964 when it became a hit. As 16-year old, Instagram version by Angelina with her playing electric guitar: th-cam.com/video/VQsRqVexLCI/w-d-xo.html) ---- Endless Love (Famously sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie at 54th Academy Awards in 1982. Released in 1981 and became a hit. As 15-year old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano: th-cam.com/video/VWuU4jMKqLw/w-d-xo.html) ---- Fields Of Gold (One of most famous songs by Sting that was written in 1993. Not big commercial success, this modern ballad has been covered by many artists. As 15 year-old, TikTok version by Angelina with simple guitar is wonderful: th-cam.com/video/4WwJHHxxHVk/w-d-xo.html) ---- Love Is A Game (This is on Adele’s fourth studio album, 30, released in 2021 following her divorce from Simon Konecki. Song itself refers to how she is ready to love again after her divorce and hints at her relationship with new boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul. As 15-year old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano sounds like recorded in studio rather than at home: th-cam.com/video/PXbYrvP3v4I/w-d-xo.html) ---- Lost On You (This 2015 song is by American recording artist LP. It topped charts of thirteen countries. As 15-year-old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano leaves you to want more: th-cam.com/video/W1RN0nRK9Tk/w-d-xo.html) ---- Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (This 1961 song by Elvis Presley was on his Blue Hawaii album. Melody was based upon French love song “Plaisir d’amour” that was written in 1784. As 11-year old, Angelina recorded full version of song: th-cam.com/video/pBOoDXFdD70/w-d-xo.html. As 15-year old, shorter TikTok version with Angelina walking down sidewalk while singing song acappella: th-cam.com/video/aJ2B-NWWsy0/w-d-xo.html) ---- Crazy (Written by Willie Nelson. Became Patsy Cline’s signature hit country music song in 1961. In 1996, Patsy’s version became most song played in jukeboxes in US and in 2003, was inducted into National Recording Registry. As 11-year old, Angelina sung full song with electric guitar: th-cam.com/video/juQ9FJcjSWk/w-d-xo.html. As 16-year old, Angelina posted on TikTok her singing song at night in her room sounding studio quality, and is one of best covers of song you will ever hear: th-cam.com/video/Vjc0riTGiGU/w-d-xo.html)
Also if you haven't done it cold by chris stapleton at the cma awards is awesome. I love angelina jordan, home free and Chris Stapleton. I subscribed because you have really good taste in music.
Thank you for this reaction video and your comments. Angelina Jordan is no stranger to Norah Jones. At the age of 11 Angelina Jordan opened for Norah Jones in Seoul, South Korea in front of 40,000 people. The crowd went crazy so the organizers of the event asked her to sing another song. Here is that performance of “I Put a Spell on You” th-cam.com/video/kpGGO3rI06Q/w-d-xo.html . This is a toned down version of her performance when she was 9 years old. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html I will be very grateful if you can react to both of these videos. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
¡Angelina es extraordinaria! No vayas solo a su futuro, mira lo que hizo cuando era una niña te va a sorprender mucho: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html Saludos
Can not believe you have not seen her before. Sorry I missed this on the stream. I’m sure a lot of people will teach you about her in the comments. Please watch I put a spell on you!!
Wlc to Angelina's World , rest off us just living in it ; )) like some one below me to suggest *I put a spell on you * age 9 , black an white version Angelina is the GOAT in my mind and many others , her musicality is just pure * Umami Music * ; )) Like ur cap btw me to Man Utd Fan ; ) Have a good one take care an stay safe ; ))
There are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following. ---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: th-cam.com/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/w-d-xo.html] ---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: th-cam.com/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/w-d-xo.html) ---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: th-cam.com/video/Nryuk21mXkQ/w-d-xo.html) ---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: th-cam.com/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/w-d-xo.html) ---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: th-cam.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/w-d-xo.html) ---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: th-cam.com/video/i0rSKumJE8s/w-d-xo.html) ---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: th-cam.com/video/8glJLHUd7uo/w-d-xo.html)
Great reaction! The Baby Faced Asassan. She is a Killer. Already a master with pinpoint precision. She will put the Arrow through Your Heart if you keep reacting to Angiline. Just a little warning. Angiline is not for you if you art faint at heart. She will bring out the tears from grown men. 🇺🇲😎👍💯🌟
Please react to two special songs that are not strictly covers, because their authors (or their team) asked to Angelina to interpret them: • “Song for A” (at age 13). th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html: It is the only song on Nico Cartosio's album “Melting” that includes vocalization by a singer; the others are merely instrumental. Cartosio wrote this song specifically for Angelina. The instrumental part was recorded by Cartosio's orchestra in Abbey Road Studios in London, and the vocals was recorded later by Angelina in Los Angeles. This lovely song is based on the 1783 poem “The rigs of barley” by Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796). • “I’m still am holding out for you” (demo): th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html. It was recorded one week before she turning 11. Some consider it to represent one of Angelina's best vocal performances. I would very much appreciate to know your criteria in this regard.
If you want to hear some of her most recent songs here are some ideas. My Funny Valentine, age 16 Easy on me by Adele age 15 All I Ask by Adele age 15 A million miles, original song age 15 7th heaven, original song, age 15 Shield, original song live, age 12 Mercy, movie soundtrack of The hating game, age 16
Just for the record, here are the other AJ reactions I've found in PG's recent live streams: * Apr 20 th-cam.com/video/mrqDG-cd9Ds/w-d-xo.html "Loving You" (2017 Prøysenfestivalen) * Apr 26 th-cam.com/video/UdeuDwsEeF0/w-d-xo.html "My Funny Valentine" (2022 version) He said she came up in a Saturday live stream, and neither of these were on Saturday, but the reaction to "Loving You" does seem to be the first time he'd ever listened to her, and "My Funny Valentine" seems to be the most recent time (apparently that live stream took place after he recorded this standalone reaction). Correct me if I'm wrong, PG.
She doesn’t have a full version of this, but she does have a full cover of The Show Must Go On around the same same age. She is 16 now. I recommend her cover of Duffy’s Mercy. her Mercy cover is used on a movie soundtrack for The Hating Game, a romcom. It’s only a studio version, no video. She does ALL the vocals on it. th-cam.com/video/7Mthm-9jECM/w-d-xo.html
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five songs: ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote song. 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. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html] [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: th-cam.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/w-d-xo.html] [as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: th-cam.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/w-d-xo.html] ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. 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. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 4 million plays on Spotify. This song is third most played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: th-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/w-d-xo.html] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: th-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/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]
A generational talent! Yes, she is even better now and the only question is whether she will be a singer’s singer and a musician’s musician for the coming decades or a household name up there with Amy, Mariah, Norah and Whitney. And as you said, she was born to sing. If you want to be blown sockless out of the water, wait a minute with what she is doing now and check out those recommendations from when she was between seven and ten…
Its funny you mentioned Norah Jones because Norah has taken more than a passing interest in AJ and has taken her on tour with her and had her warm up the crowd for her as young as 10yo. The clips I have seen of those performances she had the crowds eating out of her hand and to be honest most Jazz fans know who this girl is and have been waiting for her to start her career for a long time. AJ has been the worst kept secret among the A-list crowd in the entertainment industry. She has been performing at celebrity fundraisers for children's charities and similar events since winning Norway's Got Talent at 8yo (Auditioned at 7yo, won at 8yo). This has resulted in quite the following among that A-list crowd and she even performed at Quincy Jones' 85th BD party in London at his request. She has done command performances in front of royalty and heads of state in Norway. It could easily be said she is considered one of Norway's national treasures and you will see that in the fearce defence of her by her fans.
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Athought ”Mercy” is really growing on me. By the way I would take down this video and edit it before you get the strike.
You've got 2 minutes to sing a 6-minute song. What do you do? I think this was a great solution. BTW, she opened for Nora Jones in South Korea, April 23, 2017, in front of 40,000 people, at age 11. I'll sub, to see your journey with Angelina.

![WOW 😱😩| Angelina Jordan - Bohemian Rhapsody (America's Got Talent: The Champions) [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
Great first reaction! i just subscribed for more Angelina. Starting to sing at age 18 months she was the best ever for her age. At 6,7,8,9 the best singer at each of those ages. From ages 10,11 and 12 she became a better singer than most 20~30 year olds. Then at 13, 14 she started to overtake some of the best singers now alive. currently from 15, 16 and going foreword she is better than over 90% of any singer past or present. Just my opinion, but who else is capable of taking ANY song and making it as good or better than the original?
Can't wait to watch your reaction to about 160 Angelina videos. Thanks from Alaska
Great reaction.
See her in BEAST mode. I Put a Spell on You, black and white, at 9 years old. A Masterpiece.
You should do reaction video to i put a spell on you cover by Angelina Jordan. It will blow your mind. And she's only 8 years old. She did all the music arrangements. You can see her in the video writing down notes for how she wanted the band to play
This young lady is a vocal chameleon. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian lady is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
if you are blown away that she is 13 here - check our "I put a spell on you" - she was just 9 there! - you would not believe your ears! Not to mention her performances on Norway got talent - a little seven years old baby doll with a style of singing... She is a true child prodigy way beyond her years in her understanding of music.
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (145+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you figure out why she performs barefooted!
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. Here are a few winners from Angelina:
"A Man's World"(James Brown) th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html
"Lovin You"(Etta James-I Just Want To Make Love To You) th-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/w-d-xo.html
"Feeling Good" (various) th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
Her original "Million Miles" th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html
Her original "7th Heaven" th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html
"Take time as it comes, the wind as it blows, woman as she is." - Alfred [ Miss. Angelina Jordan ] de Musset
Speaking of Norah Jones, she saw Angelina Jordan sing amazing jazz songs from age 7 and was really impressed. In fact, when Norah Jones was to perform her sold out concert of 40,000 people in Korea, she invited Angelina to open her concert at the age of 11 years old.
When Angelina was 12, Quincy Jones asked her if she would open his 85th birthday concert in London. She sang the Frank Sinatra classic "Fly Me to the Moo
At the age of 8, she was invited to sing at the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize concert singing "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
These are just a few of the notable places Angelina performed at. Hopeful you'll react to more of her videos
(over 170 now, covering all genres). She turned 16 this year.
You cannot go wrong with anything Angelina sings. Your next video should be 'I put a spell on you' (black and white version). Angelina is 9 years old and gives the performance of a lifetime.
Here's the link to "I Put A Spell On You" th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
@@devon7008 Devon, thank you for providing the link. :)
Congratulations! You just discovered the best Vocal Artist on the Planet! IMO This opinion is quickly being reinforced as her career is finally starting to I believe explode. I'm surprised there are still many who know nothing about her but again I think that is going to change.If you want to hear music listen to anyone. If you want to feel it listen to Angelina. You have a lot of catching up to do if you decide to follow this girl and it would be a mistake in my opinion not to. Not just a great artist but an even greater Human Being! Hang on. Her angels will soon fill you in on her incredible journey & accomplishments When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. th-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/w-d-xo.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old!Her first song was Whitney Houston 'I Will Always Love You'? at 18 months. Angelina is the Grand Master of Jazz! She could teach a Master Class at 8 years old.

Angelina is an artist that happens to produce masterpieces by singing. There isn't another that can come close to her ability and talent.
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction & appreciation for Angelina's incredible reinterpretation & performance of Queen's epic song. Highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) at ages 7-8 - &/or to fully appreciate her raw talent, you need to check out her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Nice reaction! She actually opened for Norah Jones at a concert in Seoul in 2017. This performance, which aired on January of 2020 was the first time I heard of her and I've been a fan since. In my opinion, she is becoming the most talented singer I have ever seen in my 52 years of life. Currently 16, she sings like a seasoned performer with decades of experience under her belt. Please continue your journey down this wonderful rabbit hole. Best wishes and God Bless!
I’ve been waiting for you to react to Angelina since the days you discovered Home Free! Great to see you getting there, and getting her! This girl was asked by Norah Jones to help her out (Norah was running late for her show for 40,000 in Seoul in 2017), which she did by confidently singing to the enormous crowd - at 11 years old. She had been on stage in the earlier part of the day, and I hope somebody gives you the link to “Crazy”.
AGT was all recorded at the end of Oct 2019, start to finish, so Angelina was 13 then, but turned 14 four days after this went out. Queen immediately praised her on all their social media, and gave her their permission to copyright her version. Just this short one, though, don’t think she’s done the whole yard, - yet!
Great reaction, thanks.
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen on a talent show ❤️ Please check out her cover of Adele's Easy on Me and Adele's All I Ask. Angelina is 15 in both performances
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!!
Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on TH-cam performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences.
Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history.
Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.
The reason they still take it fairly slowly is that she is only 16 years old - This in agreement with Republic Record, the family, and Angelina herself. She is now working on her record. Angelina has already sung in many countries, and all important people in the music industry know who she is. They only need to press the button when the time is right for the next step. No point in "burning out" a 16 year old jewel of a singer and I think many people forget how young she really is since she is so mature for her age!
Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on TH-cam and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.

I first heard Angelina sing on January 6th, 2020. It was this performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, and I have listened to her every day since then. She is the most impressive singer I've ever heard.

Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: th-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/w-d-xo.html
---- Mery has TH-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz
---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: th-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/w-d-xo.html
There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery:
---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: th-cam.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/w-d-xo.html)
---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: th-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/w-d-xo.html)
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: th-cam.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/w-d-xo.html]
[as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: th-cam.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/w-d-xo.html]
---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: th-cam.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/w-d-xo.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: th-cam.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html)
[Studio video was created by top producers Stargate (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) based in LA. They have won 4 Grammy Awards. They also worked with Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, and others]
[Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said]
[Angelina commented, “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance,” she smiles]
[Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared]
[Angelina said that studio video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s paintings as background: th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html. Audio only: th-cam.com/video/2D9qvBfx47s/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance: th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html. Official music video: th-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/w-d-xo.html)
[Angelina said "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]
Enjoyed your reaction. Have been watching everything I can of Angelina's and now listen to her every day. The most beautiful voice and soul of anyone I've listened to. Although Eva Cassidy is also sublime.
Thanks so much for a nice reaction. And thanks for playing the video without interruption. I hope you do join all of us around the world on her journey. Lots of her fans (her 'angels') will be sending you all kinds of data (playlists and personal info) and I will look forward to more reactions to her from you.
I have subscribed.
According to Angelina herself ( at The view - 2014) she started very young, at 1,5 (yo), and she started with jazz. She has a lot of newer originals and covers, but I recommend some of her older stuff as well. After the interview she sang "Fly me to the moon", 8 years old th-cam.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/w-d-xo.html.
awesome reaction from orlando florida......hope you do a lot more of Angelina.......
Angelina created a genius arrangement and delivered a performance for the ages. The surviving members of Queen loved her version so much they posted it on their Twitter. Angelina signed with Republic Records at age 14 but her family requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible so she remains unknown to most people. Please read the biography I compiled for Angelina.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. Angelina plays the piano and guitar and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
*Why Angelina always performs barefoot*
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration.
Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
A 9 years old, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs.
At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances.
When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year.
During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each.
In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT.
Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her.
In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”
In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song.
Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram.
Angelina has concerts scheduled in Norway in July 2022.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
Welcome to Angelina's World. A true prodigy. She improves monthly. She's 16yo now; signed with Republic Records at 14yo in Aug 2020.
This was an audition, so it was crafted to fit in AGTC's time criteria. There over 160 performances and 5 originals, all of which were before she turned 16 this January. I still recommend following up with the song in the comment below. For newer performances, try her Adele cover of "Easy on Me" (th-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/w-d-xo.html) . For jazzy Angelina, try her original "7th Heaven" (th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html). Both of these were released through Republic Records while 15 y/o. Her original RR release was "Million Miles", which was first recorded when she was 14. It was written while she grieved the loss of her grandfather. There's an official music video, a black and white live studio performance, and an illustrated lyrics version (illustrated by Angelina and her grandmother, Meri, Zamani also a child prodigy but in poetry and art. She also designed most of Angelina's attire, including the colorful outfit you just saw on AGTC).
Angelina=Superstar
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. 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* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗
Fantastic reaction and you just entered a World of Music that will change the way you listen to music! You will not only listen but will feel it and feel the Love she wants to spread 1 song at a time, God Bless!
Yes, her vocals are rediculously good and have been right through 7 to 16 years. Nobody can match her at present. So much more that she can surprise you with on TH-cam, if you are interested in taking a look. Great reaction vid by the way.
Her 7-year-old audition on Norway's Got Talent was also stunning! I'm actually trying to limit my exposure to her numerous "hits" now because I don't want to become numb to all of the other great performers out there.
This is one of the big performances that will lead you down the rabbit hole into the world of Angelina Jordan. Another big entry point for listeners is her black and white studio performance of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 "I Put a Spell on You". This song has been sung by countless performers. This performance, however, is called by many as a masterpiece cover of Jay's original rendition. As always, Angelina arranges the music and lyrics of her songs, and this is no exception. You will not be disappointed if you carve out some additional time to react to this one as well. It's an unreal experience to hear little Angelina. Here's the link along with a little backstory on who Angelina Jordan is.
"I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" (black and white studio performance) - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
- A Child Prodigy -
Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy who: began singing at 16 months old; shows a clear preference for jazz/blues (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Etta James, Ben E. King, and Amy Winehouse), a talent which always work its way into every performance with her vibrato and riffs; she arranges all of her music; entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 y/o, and ended up winning; has performed around the world; her parents have kept their focus on her having a normal childhood so 90% of requests and offers have been turned down. The largest performance she has sung for was for over 40,000 people, while still a preteen in Norway. By 15 years old, she has over 160 cover performances and 5 originals. She signed with Republic Records at 14 as Angelina has found a label that shares in her vision. Her parents have still tried to preserve a normal childhood as possible for her and her little sister. She turned 16 this January, and Angelina's presence in the music industry is increasing (Here is Republic Records' page about Angelina - www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan )
- The Barefoot Princess of Jazz -
Angelina is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl about her age sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefooted, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She remembers that girl every time she takes off her shoes to perform.
Of the encounter, little 6 year old Angelina wrote in her diary: “The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The book and her attire Angelina wore for her AGTC audition (above) were designed by her grandmother, who was herself a child prodigy in poetry and art. She has performed in charities for children, helping to raise 21 million euros and millions of dollars.
gracias por reaccionar al ángel de los pies descalzos, espero hagas muchas más reacciones de ella. 🤗🤗 no va a dejar de sorprenderte, ella es simplemente increíble
Very Very good video from you. You realy know what mean Quality. It was a pleasure for me and my eyes. Bravo
I need probably to see this performance one hundred more to stop goosebumps ! Is it possible ? ☺
You should watch her do summertime on Norway got talent it's amazing.
Your gonna be in for real quality treat….. btw she opened up a concert for Norah Jones…. Enjoy the journey,
Hi there! I found you ages ago when you started reactiing to Postmodern Jukebox, and im so glad you finally got to hear Angelina's magic voice 🌹 I checked the vod for the livestream to see wich song from her you heard, and I learned that you are a fan of Albert King! Yes! And I see you are wearing a Manchester United cap! YES! Loved your reaction, cant wait for the next one. She sings all styles and genres, in 160+ songs on YT, so its hard to recommend songs. I could give you 30-40 songs that I think are just as good as what you just heard. If you want quality, her cover of Adeles 'All I Ask' is a good one. If you want something bluesy, her cover of the Etta James classic 'Id rather go blind' will knock your socks off. Thanks again, see you in the next one 💖
Wonderful reaction PG & nice comments to (13) Angie. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” the B&W version, th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway.
Angie On AGT Champions at (13) singing her rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. . (The performance was so astounding that Queen themselves posted a video of the teen singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on their twitter page with the caption:” Wow What a rendition @angelinajordanA” And in an even more extraordinary turn of events, Queen then reportedly gave Angelina her blessing to record and release her own version of the song by giving her the copyright to do so.) Here’s her Ep of it. “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Angelina Jordan th-cam.com/video/MS2XdfgIti0/w-d-xo.html
Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also so far, & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already at 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices & a Mona Lisa smile” & the “Queen of jazz”. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combined with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it =)
(Why Angie performs barefoot)
Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html
during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min.
Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) th-cam.com/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/w-d-xo.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction
Also She did another interview at (13) at AGT-C & give's a little more reason why she
performs barefoot & fills in some blanks about it from the interview when she was 9. th-cam.com/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/w-d-xo.html
Congrats, you just discovered the most beautiful voice of the century...!
Great reaction to a great artist!!
You are spot on with the "born to sing" !!!
In reviewing the comments, as usual , the Angels set you up with everything you need to know about this young genius/prodigy.. She covers ALL genres, but her wheelhouse is Jazz... Everything she sings is a fresh and imaginative interpretation... Always demonstrating the one of kind, like NO other talent, that is her voice!! Good on Ya, Mate!! Nice reaction, see you on the flip side😉🎶👏🏻🙌🏻😁
She is amazing indeed. Queen liked this cover so much that they gave her a license of her own to release this version. As soon as she starts singing she commands everybody’s attention and the audience goes silent and the jury is sitting there slack jawed.
She has a huge catalogue of video’s on TH-cam. You could historical and start with her appearances on Norway got talent, Gloomy sunday: th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html. Other early spectacular performances are I put a spell on you: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html and Feeling good - TV show: th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html Or watch a recent released version of Funny Valentine: th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html
But frankly you can go anywhere and it will be all good: she has covered many artists and genres and you can also just pick an artist you like. One thing to be expected is to be surprised at every turn :-)
I am going to post a list of songs that "I" feel are must listen to. These start when Angelina was 6 years old and end with her at her present age of 16. Everyone has their favorites, but I think these show her vocal range and her ability to sing ANY genre she chooses. Just my opinion. You just reacted to one of them.

Our barefoot princess and her 1000 voices! 😍
yep, she was born to sing.
nice to have met you over the internet (Mississauga, Canada)
Great first reaction to the generational talent Angelina Jordan Astar. She is an exceptional vocal artist an now 16. To really appreciate this young lady you need to go back to her Norway Got Talent show at age 7-8 singing classic jazz songs from Billy Holiday, George Gershwin and such. She is a master Jazz singer the likes of which have not been seen in decades. Angelina can sing pretty much any genre of music and is spectacular at all of them. Hope to see you do more Angelina....enjoyed this reaction very much. She literally has 1000 different voices...a prodigy and music genius.
You must hear The Show Must Go On by Queen
Angelina also has set of short covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. Some examples include following.
---- When You Believe (This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey. It is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Angelina Jordan is no stranger to Norah Jones. At the age of 11 Angelina Jordan opened for Norah Jones in Seoul, South Korea in front of 40,000 people. The crowd went crazy so the organizers of the event asked her to sing another song. Here is that performance of “I Put a Spell on You”
th-cam.com/video/kpGGO3rI06Q/w-d-xo.html . This is a toned down version of her performance when she was 9 years old. th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
I will be very grateful if you can react to both of these videos.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
¡Angelina es extraordinaria! No vayas solo a su futuro, mira lo que hizo cuando era una niña te va a sorprender mucho: th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html Saludos

Angelina has no equal.
Angeliana Jordan encrivel 👏👏👏👏
There are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following.
---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: th-cam.com/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/w-d-xo.html]
---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: th-cam.com/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/w-d-xo.html)
---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: th-cam.com/video/Nryuk21mXkQ/w-d-xo.html)
---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: th-cam.com/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/w-d-xo.html)
---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: th-cam.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/w-d-xo.html)
---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: th-cam.com/video/i0rSKumJE8s/w-d-xo.html)
---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: th-cam.com/video/8glJLHUd7uo/w-d-xo.html)
And they cut off Heidi's comment - the Golden Buzzer.
Breaking news: Easy on Me, All I Ask, My Funny Valentine and her latest original, 7th Heaven
Great reaction! The Baby Faced Asassan. She is a Killer. Already a master with pinpoint precision. She will put the Arrow through Your Heart if you keep reacting to Angiline. Just a little warning. Angiline is not for you if you art faint at heart. She will bring out the tears from grown men. 🇺🇲😎👍💯🌟
Please react to two special songs that are not strictly covers, because their authors (or their team) asked to Angelina to interpret them:
• “Song for A” (at age 13). th-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/w-d-xo.html: It is the only song on Nico Cartosio's album “Melting” that includes vocalization by a singer; the others are merely instrumental. Cartosio wrote this song specifically for Angelina. The instrumental part was recorded by Cartosio's orchestra in Abbey Road Studios in London, and the vocals was recorded later by Angelina in Los Angeles. This lovely song is based on the 1783 poem “The rigs of barley” by Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796).
• “I’m still am holding out for you” (demo): th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html. It was recorded one week before she turning 11. Some consider it to represent one of Angelina's best vocal performances. I would very much appreciate to know your criteria in this regard.
If you want to hear some of her most recent songs here are some ideas.
My Funny Valentine, age 16
Easy on me by Adele age 15
All I Ask by Adele age 15
A million miles, original song age 15
7th heaven, original song, age 15
Shield, original song live, age 12
Mercy, movie soundtrack of The hating game, age 16
A Million Miles (14 years old) and Mercy (15 years old) :-)
Just for the record, here are the other AJ reactions I've found in PG's recent live streams:
* Apr 20 th-cam.com/video/mrqDG-cd9Ds/w-d-xo.html "Loving You" (2017 Prøysenfestivalen)
* Apr 26 th-cam.com/video/UdeuDwsEeF0/w-d-xo.html "My Funny Valentine" (2022 version)
He said she came up in a Saturday live stream, and neither of these were on Saturday, but the reaction to "Loving You" does seem to be the first time he'd ever listened to her, and "My Funny Valentine" seems to be the most recent time (apparently that live stream took place after he recorded this standalone reaction).
Correct me if I'm wrong, PG.
And funny valentine by angelina jordan She is 16 year old in funny valentine
Quik faq: Nora Jones once called Angelina to open for her on her tour when she was in the area years back.
That was a great reaction 😀New subscriber here for more Angelina😀
She doesn’t have a full version of this, but she does have a full cover of The Show Must Go On around the same same age. She is 16 now. I recommend her cover of Duffy’s Mercy. her Mercy cover is used on a movie soundtrack for The Hating Game, a romcom. It’s only a studio version, no video. She does ALL the vocals on it. th-cam.com/video/7Mthm-9jECM/w-d-xo.html
One of her latest covers is "My Funny Valentine" -> th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html (self-produced Instagram video).
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five songs:
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote song. 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. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html]
[as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: th-cam.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/w-d-xo.html]
[as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: th-cam.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/w-d-xo.html]
---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. 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. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 4 million plays on Spotify. This song is third most played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: th-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/w-d-xo.html]
---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: th-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/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]
A generational talent! Yes, she is even better now and the only question is whether she will be a singer’s singer and a musician’s musician for the coming decades or a household name up there with Amy, Mariah, Norah and Whitney. And as you said, she was born to sing. If you want to be blown sockless out of the water, wait a minute with what she is doing now and check out those recommendations from when she was between seven and ten…

Its funny you mentioned Norah Jones because Norah has taken more than a passing interest in AJ and has taken her on tour with her and had her warm up the crowd for her as young as 10yo. The clips I have seen of those performances she had the crowds eating out of her hand and to be honest most Jazz fans know who this girl is and have been waiting for her to start her career for a long time. AJ has been the worst kept secret among the A-list crowd in the entertainment industry. She has been performing at celebrity fundraisers for children's charities and similar events since winning Norway's Got Talent at 8yo (Auditioned at 7yo, won at 8yo). This has resulted in quite the following among that A-list crowd and she even performed at Quincy Jones' 85th BD party in London at his request. She has done command performances in front of royalty and heads of state in Norway. It could easily be said she is considered one of Norway's national treasures and you will see that in the fearce defence of her by her fans.
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Athought ”Mercy” is really growing on me.
By the way I would take down this video and edit it before you get the strike.
she opened up the show for Nora Jones concert can't remember when it was though
The way she sounds in pain...
Btw. Last time I had a beard your size my mother cut it down against my will.

You've got 2 minutes to sing a 6-minute song. What do you do? I think this was a great solution.
BTW, she opened for Nora Jones in South Korea, April 23, 2017, in front of 40,000 people, at age 11. I'll sub, to see your journey with Angelina.
