She shocked the world at norways got talent at age 7. She got the golden buzzer at agt with bohemian rhapsody at age 13. She is 9 here, and she slays all genres! She has over 200 songs; you are so lucky you get to hear them all for the first time!
Subscribed..everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks a lot to react to the phenomenon named Angelina Jordan..
This is considered one of, if not the best performance ever, by a nine-year-old. Angelina Jordan is the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. Each performance went viral here on TH-cam. She was declared a Nation Treasure and still is. She is now 18 and signed to Republic Records since she was 14. Angelina has always had much family support. This was her full-time band, hired after she won Norway's got talent, and they had been working together almost a year at this point. Band members called her the "Boss." She is our barefoot Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all. You will never forget this day you first heard her! English is her 3rd language of 4. She has always arranged her own music and retains that capability in her contract. She now lives in LA with her family. Us fans, (Angels, as Angelina calls us), will educate you about her in the comments. She is much more than a prodigy and is incomparable. You have no idea what you just discovered.
"Your statements prove Four Tenets of Angelina-ism: 1. Once you're addicted, you're addicted for life. There is no antidote. 2. No matter how many times you hear her, you're always impressed! 3. One of life's great pleasures is watching people hear her for the first time! 4. She is destined to be one of the all-time greats - Music Mt Rushmore status"
Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this classic song, then took control of the studio and musicians to deliver a performance which leaves everyone spellbound. The musicians lovingly called her "the boss". Please take the time to read the bio I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website. Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. Angelina was near her 8th birthday for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang.” In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. The money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore and Mexico among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. Angelina's videos are scattered all over TH-cam. Please visit the channel AJ Playlists to easily find her videos. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go" On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes” The finance company SoFi is using Angelina’s original song “Our Time” in a commercial and the full song was uploaded on TH-cam on October 27, 2023. On November 25, 2023, Angelina attended Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. On December 11, 2023, Angelina performed at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize ceremony, when she was 8 years old. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. February 29 2024, Angelina performed 2 shows at the Westgate Resort in Las Vegas. She debuted her new original song, “Princess of Ruins” which tells the story of why she perfoms barefoot. No doubt, it will be her signature song. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always desired to be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.

@@RetroToMetroReactionsl just looked for your reaction to AJ's performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT but it's still not up. I'm dying to see your reaction to what this brilliant little girl does to this iconic song at the mere age of 13😳😁. Cheers from another fellow Canadian from Windsor Ontario & I'm happy to say I'm sub's for both your Ren & AJ journey. 🥂
Hiya @robmarar I did react to it... it should be up, but it may be blocked in some areas. Here is a direct link: th-cam.com/video/eJC2mbdbTOc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fY8lxxDBa7fdJqLe
Indeed. That book is called "Mellom To Hjerter" (in Norwegian) which translates to "Between Two Hearts". In that book she tells the story about the encounter she had at age 6 with another young girl from the Middle East, and the reason why she ALWAYS performs barefoot. She also tells the story in an interview on Norwegian television, just after releasing said book. The program is called "Lindmo" and the host is Anne Lindmo. She reads a portion from her book, and afterwards she performs the song "Unchained Melody". You'd be hard pressed to find ONE video containing both the interview AND the performance, but you'll easily find both in two different videos. I obviously write this message primarily to our new reactor here 😊
I'm quite jealous that you're at the start of discovering Angelina, you'll be in awe of every one of her songs, covers or originals. Angelina is an excellent storyteller, she fully conveys the emotions to you. Get your tissues ready and head down the rabbit hole.
Angelina was 9 in this video, apparently it was uploaded a year or two later. She is now 18 abd recentlly performed her first headline concert in Las Vegas. She also released a great original EP last year titled Old Enough that, yes, sounds Amy Winehouse-y.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from this musical genius, yes Angelina shocked everyone on Norway 🇳🇴 Got Talent,she won at 8 years old, Angelina was 9 years old with her own arrangement of (I Put A Spell On You) Angelina was commanding this performance she is the boss, Angelina is hypnotic to listen to, she has a unique silvery vibrato and a beautiful soulful jazzy pitch perfect voice, with amazing control,Angelina has around 200 hundred upgrades of songs and around 13-14 original songs, Angelina’s army of fans are called Angels, her fans named Angelina the barefoot Queen of jazz and soul with a thousand different styles and vocals,Angelina signed with Republic Records at 14 years old her Uncle Mike is her manager, Angelina’s Grandmother Mery is Angelina’s greatest influence and inspiration, Mery who is a talented Iranian artist and poet introduced Angelina to jazz and the classic songs when Angelina was 1 1/2 years old, Mery is also involved in production and is in the studio when Angelina is recording, The musical director of republic records two times Grammy Award winner Rob Christie is Angelina’s pianist in many of Angelina’s videos,welcome to Angelina Jordan Astar, the most talented artist I’ve ever seen or heard, present day Angelina is 18 years old, I attended her recent live concerts in Las Vegas on the 29th February, her stage presence was incredible her live vocals phenomenal, great reaction thanks 🙏
Lots of great info is coming your way on Angelina! I won’t repeat it all, but welcome to our world with “Angels” everywhere (that’s what Angelina calls her fans). Courtney is great. I watched her very early performances even before AGT. I won’t compare these two talents, but AJ is my personal favorite. Her catalogue of music and emotional delivery of each story is far removed from every other singer out there. Thank you & looking for more of Angelina
Angelina is 18 now and just two concerts in Las Vegas in the Westgate hotel which were amazing! You can through her songs in whichever way you like it. You can historical and start at Norway got Talent which she entered at 7 and won. You can go hysterical and go for Bohemian Rhapsody which just past 100 million streams or you can go categorial go by the covers of whichever artist you like best or go for creativity and listen to her own songs. All are fine: just do whatever inspires you :-)
Exponentially better, yes. Nice first up reaction. You will love anything of Angelina's you do next but it may be worth going to the start and looking at the four songs on Norways got talent first.
People who hear this as their first Angelina song think she just has an unusual voice that fits perfectly with this arrangement of Hawkins original. That’s not the case-and you’ll understand that so clearly when you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina is known as the girl with a thousand voices. You heard one of those today. Like many who have followed Angelina for years, I have no reservations about saying she’s the best singer I’ve ever heard, and I’ve listened to music since the 1950’s. She will blow you away from age 7 to now at 18-and she will do that in multiple genres that she can handle as effortlessly as this retro blues take today. Your musical life has changed today.
Retro, Ms. Jordan began practicing singing for four to six hours a day starting at five years old, to perfect her tone and technique. By the time of this performance at nine, she was well on her way to masterclass level. Ms. Jordan is one of the most documented humans of our era, her growth and development has lead to much speculation on the “how is this possible thinking”, but then comes the realization that prodigies have always been among us. I can only say I count myself fortunate to be witness to what Ms. Jordan has accomplished in the past and what she will create in the future. ♾ Rb
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! This history-making performance is as unnerving as it is magnificent!! 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 (170+ 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. 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. It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

As a fellow Canadian, I will proudly say this prodigy can do with a mic what Gretzky did on skates with a stick. This video is like watching "The Great One" in his junior years. As you go through your journey (and you will) keep my analogy in mind. She is currently 18 - let's see what the future brings.
Going not only better, she's going better and better with no limit. Doing a historic Day with a double concert at the famous place of Elvis in Las Vegas 🎉 I'm sure your how reaction will soon change to WOW. Bohemian Rhapsody is a very good experience for your next reaction 🎉
An epic masterpiece of "shock-rock jazz" performed and arranged by Angelina having just turned nine. Of course Angelina worked with the band in creating her own arrangement, who had admiringly nicknamed Angelina "The Boss".
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.

Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are.

This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage.
"How does that voice come out of her?" She's a prodigy (she was 9 years old here). Angelina's innate talent was off the charts as a little girl, and she's developed today into an 18-year-old young woman who can sing anything from jazz to blues to soul to pop to R&B, etc., and she'll make you feel every song she sings. She is, hands down, my favorite singer of all time. Thanks so much for your reaction. I certainly hope we see you back with more Angelina (yes, "Bohemian Rhapsody" at age 13 on AGT is a great followup up to this one). Have a great week! 👼
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/w-d-xo.html
You have already seen many comments from us Angels...that's what Amgelina calls us fans. Besides being a phenomenal singer she has a very compassionate heart. I noticed you looked at her barefeet when you were commenting. You might think that that was just sweet , but it is much more that. The short story is when she was 6 living in the middle east she met a homeless girl about her age in the market in a wet and cold day with no shoes trying to earning $ to support her siblings. Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to her And vowed from the day she will not wear shoes when on stage until poverty in children are addressed. She still doesn't wear shoes on stage now at 18 ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, you're gonna like Bohemian Rhapsody. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 and recorded this, her own arrangement of Screamin' Jay's classic blues song, about a year later. Incidentally, she also became Norway's youngest published author at age 9, for her book about giving her shoes to a shoeless girl in the Middle East when she was around 6. She has performed barefoot since then to remember that event. Great reaction!
Very nicely composed description. And thank you for linking to the original artist and/or video creator. You're doing a great job with your channel. You will enjoy the Angelina journey. Her fans (Angels) are many and 99% are also great people.
Great reaction, Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan (AJ), she was 9 in this video, but started singing at the age of 1 1/2; won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7-8 and appeared on AGT at 13 She recently did a concert in Las Vegas, now age 18 Enjoy the great music !
Congratulations and sit back. You don't know what to expect. A flood of information from Angelina's fans, whom she calls "Angels". And yes..Bohemian Rhapsody is a good choice. The video now has 100 million views. The song "I put a spell on you" was arranged and recorded by her in 2015 when she was 9 years old (Born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway) She also arranges all of her covers and songs herself. On February 29th. In 24 she had two concerts at the Westgate in Las Vegas. The spectators were thrilled.
Angelina Jordan is a big can of goodness you definetly need to open :=) She is the most talented singer the world has seen, in my humble opinion. She has grown both in stature and as a singer since this. I never tire of seeing people get shocked over Angelina the first time :D Cheers!
She shocked everybody on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 and won (by a country mile) when she was 8. Well, she didn't shock so much as blow everybody away with her incredible talent. Sure, Bohemian Rhapsody is a good one, and maybe you'd like to hear her 4 songs on Norway's Got Talent, but to be honest you can pick anything. She never fails to deliver. She was 9 in this video and is now 18. If you think she sounded amazing then, just listen to her now! Liked and subscribed!
Madam, She practised her craft since age 3,5 almost every day for hours and hours. At age 9 she already was a veteran. Now at age 18 she had 2 shows/concerts in Las Vegas on the same stage as Elvis Presley. Be safe and sound. Sincerely, Elmar from Germany
"I'm very interested to see how she does this because...I can't even imagine." The amazing thing about Angelina is that, even after you see her do it, you still can't even imagine!
Welcome to the best rabbitt hole on you tube. . Shes Amazing in everyway, not just her singing, but as a human . Im sure you will read in the comments her History. You cant go wrong watching any of her long list of videos, each one is an Amazing show of ger ability to arrange and make any Genere any song her own while keeping respect for the original Artist . ENJOY . . .
Welcome! You have just finished watching the child prodigy and young legend Angel-ina Jordan. The rabbit hole runs deep, but you will NEVER be disappointed! Her impeccable vocal control is mesmerizing and unforgettable. Thank you so much for your reaction. Hope to see you again! ❤❤❤
The Angelic community is in the building, prepare to be overwhelmed; with information, insights and passion from this dedicated fan base. We are all heralds of the coming age of Ms. Angelina Jordan, the young living legend of music. ♾Rb
You have just met a genius and prodigy. The best female singer ever. You will find out that everything about Angelina is top notch. She's a perfect human being imo.
You have just entered the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. And it is an amazing place to be. This gifted young artist is truly a genius. Looking forward to joining you on your journey. Thanks for a great reaction.
She's got over 200 videos over the years documenting the path a 7 year old prodigy decided to walk on one day. There's compilation mixes. Her voice is golden and all her exploring genres has been great. They make great background music as it's so comforting and energizing.
I'm just a little jealous. You've just fallen into one of the most wonderful rabbit holes in the world. You have over 200 videos of covers, originals, and concert clips to explore. I've been following this young woman from her first performances at Norway's Got Talent. She's now 18 years old and gave her first Las Vegas concerts a couple of weeks ago. Her Angels will be here soon, and if you read your comments here you'll learn all about this amazing girl. And several will post recommended playlists of videos for you to watch. It doesn't matter whether you go back to her earliest stuff or start with her most recent songs (many of which are originals) you are going to be amazed. And keep a box of tissues handy. Angelina has the amazing talent of singing the emotions of a song, making you feel those emotions. Sooner or later you'll be reaching for those tissues. Her recent performance of "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Prize ceremony chokes me up every time I hear it.
@@RetroToMetroReactions Awesome 🙂 I obviously don't know which performance you've reacted to, but if it's NOT "Through The Eyes Of A Child" at the Nidarosdomen cathedral here in Norway, that one is an absolute MUST. Believe me😉 And also, if you react to Angelina's performance of "Feeling Good" at age 10, make sure to use the performance she did on a televised charity event called "The Stream Gir Tilbake". That performance is in the top 5 among all of her fans I think, many have is as their favorite. You will understand why that is. Love from Norway
Norway's got Talent at age 7. She was 8 when she won (over adults). I think you would enjoy her performances on there. She was on AGT at 13 years old and would have won that competition but when she wouldn't sign a contract with Simon - well she didn't win.
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James,Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Welcome to Miss Jordan rabbit hole you should know she started singing when she was year and half years old she told her parents she wanted to sing and they supported her 💯 percent
Holy Shit about covers it my dear....welcome to the world of one of the greatest vocalists to grace this planet in many decades....she is 9 here, barely, her arrangement as well. So not only a master vocalist but a genius musician as well. You will get bombarded in the comments so all I have...been following her for 8+ years for a reason. Just enjoy the journey...we fans are several million strong supporting this artist. Cheers. 🥰🥰
WOW!😳 Sounds like movie soundtrack coming in her lucrative future.Like a undercover FBI agent infiltrating a gang of mobsters to cacth the real mobsters type of movie.I didn't expect that powerful voice either.The way she went high and low...AMAZIN'👍👍👏👏
She has already had one song in a resent movie called Hating game. Angelina covered Mercy, and the song actually opened the start of the film. Angelina has expressed her desire to sing a Bond song, at the age of 11. Her original Shield, was inspired by the sound of past Bond songs.
"The Girl With a Thousand voices". Nine yrs old here.. "Bohemian Rhapsody" at 13 is a good choice but does skip some amazing performances in between that you might want to drop back to. She's 18 now and phenomenal.
There several excellent young singers out there, but only handful that take a step beyond excellent. Angelina is one of them. A similar talent is Amira Willighagen who won "Holland's got Talent" at the age of 9, having taught herself opera watching TH-cam videos! Jumping back and forth between these two would make me a happy old man.
Bienvenida al maravilloso universo de nuestra Princesa Descalza Angelina Jordan, te queda lo más increíble y maravilloso de ver y escuchar. Cariñosos saludos desde Chile
She said she had wrote over 100 songs by the time she was 10. She's now 18, and her talent has grown exponentially, and on top of all that, she's also a 6 foot towering statuesque beauty who, imo, is head and shoulders above any super models. Talk about a TOTAL package, lol
Welcome to AJ rabbit hole, only around 250 videos to go. Might want to start with Angelina Jordan, the early years and the Angelina Jordan 10 years in the making....Good luck. Ps us angels fans are very protective of our Barefoot princess 😊😊
Tie your hat with a wire because you're going to be blown away every time you listen to Angelina. In this recording she was 9 yo in beast mode. She’s now 18 and one of the best vocalist on the planet and a stunning beautiful 6’1’’ young lady. I notice that you smile when you saw she was barefoot, there is a humanitarian reason why she always sing barefoot in public, others fans « Angels » will tell you the story.
✒️...welcome to Angelina's world of music...the veteran of best entertainment at age 18 now😂😉the princess will shine like a diamant...Greatings from Berlin
Another couple things you'll often hear about Angelina. "She alway surprises me and she never disappoints." Thanks for your positive reaction and for knowing Screamin' Jay. If you enjoy classic jazz, this will be a rewarding journey.
Angelina is joy in my life, and I love watching people who have never had the good fortune to hear her, who then find out all the reasons she deserves the world as her fan base: for her music, her voice, and her very remarkable soul. You will enjoy this trip. It's full of love, and God knows, we need a lot of that now.
Hi, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song and she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime. You are at the very beginning and I hope that you embark on the further journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me, you are just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (Angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with the 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only around 200 covers but also 14 originals written by her and 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 18 years old.
Agree with that. I can never fault her performance. Sometimes she will cover a song that I don't like. After a few listens, they grow on me and I will like her version.
Stages of reactors' smiles for this: 1) cute kid 2) oh, the little girl sings low, how cute 3) she can screech? 4) growl? Belting a la Amy. 5) By the time the "I Love You"s come out most have stopped smiling due to cuteness, and have moved on to admiration and praise
Angelina a nine year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy. She has God given talent that is how she does this! Takes Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 classic and rearranges it into this masterpiece. Notice the last minute changes she handed to the director. She has been doing this since she was six years old! Amazing control. Affectionately known as the “Boss” by her band! See her Norway’s Got Talent all four videos! Yes she won at eight years old! She is now 18 years old! Angelina is known for only doing one take possibly two to complete a song, there is no auto tune used in any of her songs, pure Angelina! She just did back to back concerts in one night at the Westgate Casino and Resorts in Las Vegas! She performed 38 songs and debuted an unreleased song called Princess of Ruins! He song is about why she performs barefoot on stage! She is an amazing young lady! 🇳🇴🇺🇸

Subscribed..everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks a lot to react to the phenomenon named Angelina Jordan..
This is considered one of, if not the best performance ever, by a nine-year-old. Angelina Jordan is the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. Each performance went viral here on TH-cam. She was declared a Nation Treasure and still is. She is now 18 and signed to Republic Records since she was 14. Angelina has always had much family support. This was her full-time band, hired after she won Norway's got talent, and they had been working together almost a year at this point. Band members called her the "Boss." She is our barefoot Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all. You will never forget this day you first heard her! English is her 3rd language of 4. She has always arranged her own music and retains that capability in her contract. She now lives in LA with her family. Us fans, (Angels, as Angelina calls us), will educate you about her in the comments. She is much more than a prodigy and is incomparable. You have no idea what you just discovered.
"Your statements prove Four Tenets of Angelina-ism:
1. Once you're addicted, you're addicted for life. There is no antidote.
2. No matter how many times you hear her, you're always impressed!
3. One of life's great pleasures is watching people hear her for the first time!
4. She is destined to be one of the all-time greats - Music Mt Rushmore status"
Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement for this classic song, then took control of the studio and musicians to deliver a performance which leaves everyone spellbound. The musicians lovingly called her "the boss". Please take the time to read the bio I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
*Why Angelina always performs barefoot*
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website.
Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
Angelina was near her 8th birthday for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang.” In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. The money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration.
Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore and Mexico among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
At age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year.
During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each.
In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam.
Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. Angelina's videos are scattered all over TH-cam. Please visit the channel AJ Playlists to easily find her videos.
The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her.
During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.
In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”
In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song.
Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022.
In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles.
On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions.
On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go"
On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes”
The finance company SoFi is using Angelina’s original song “Our Time” in a commercial and the full song was uploaded on TH-cam on October 27, 2023.
On November 25, 2023, Angelina attended Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France.
On December 11, 2023, Angelina performed at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize ceremony, when she was 8 years old.
Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian.
We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change.
February 29 2024, Angelina performed 2 shows at the Westgate Resort in Las Vegas. She debuted her new original song, “Princess of Ruins” which tells the story of why she perfoms barefoot. No doubt, it will be her signature song.
Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always desired to be.
I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
WOW! Thank you for that information. I would not have guessed she is Norwegian. Beautiful country. I will definitely create an Angelina Playlist.
@@RetroToMetroReactions it’s the 5 year anniversary of Nipsey Hussle please give him a listen he is like a street version of J. Cole th-cam.com/video/iYC9iMTC5QM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WmhddPgLSw630CKo
Thanks. 🙏🏽 😊
@@RetroToMetroReactionsl just looked for your reaction to AJ's performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT but it's still not up. I'm dying to see your reaction to what this brilliant little girl does to this iconic song at the mere age of 13😳😁. Cheers from another fellow Canadian from Windsor Ontario & I'm happy to say I'm sub's for both your Ren & AJ journey. 🥂
Hiya @robmarar I did react to it... it should be up, but it may be blocked in some areas. Here is a direct link: th-cam.com/video/eJC2mbdbTOc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fY8lxxDBa7fdJqLe
9 years old too.
The same year she recorded this she became Norway's youngest published author.
Indeed. That book is called "Mellom To Hjerter" (in Norwegian) which translates to "Between Two Hearts". In that book she tells the story about the encounter she had at age 6 with another young girl from the Middle East, and the reason why she ALWAYS performs barefoot. She also tells the story in an interview on Norwegian television, just after releasing said book. The program is called "Lindmo" and the host is Anne Lindmo. She reads a portion from her book, and afterwards she performs the song "Unchained Melody". You'd be hard pressed to find ONE video containing both the interview AND the performance, but you'll easily find both in two different videos. I obviously write this message primarily to our new reactor here 😊
I'm quite jealous that you're at the start of discovering Angelina, you'll be in awe of every one of her songs, covers or originals. Angelina is an excellent storyteller, she fully conveys the emotions to you. Get your tissues ready and head down the rabbit hole.
Angelina was 9 in this video, apparently it was uploaded a year or two later. She is now 18 abd recentlly performed her first headline concert in Las Vegas. She also released a great original EP last year titled Old Enough that, yes, sounds Amy Winehouse-y.
This was 9 years ago.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from this musical genius, yes Angelina shocked everyone on Norway 🇳🇴 Got Talent,she won at 8 years old, Angelina was 9 years old with her own arrangement of (I Put A Spell On You) Angelina was commanding this performance she is the boss, Angelina is hypnotic to listen to, she has a unique silvery vibrato and a beautiful soulful jazzy pitch perfect voice, with amazing control,Angelina has around 200 hundred upgrades of songs and around 13-14 original songs, Angelina’s army of fans are called Angels, her fans named Angelina the barefoot Queen of jazz and soul with a thousand different styles and vocals,Angelina signed with Republic Records at 14 years old her Uncle Mike is her manager, Angelina’s Grandmother Mery is Angelina’s greatest influence and inspiration, Mery who is a talented Iranian artist and poet introduced Angelina to jazz and the classic songs when Angelina was 1 1/2 years old, Mery is also involved in production and is in the studio when Angelina is recording, The musical director of republic records two times Grammy Award winner Rob Christie is Angelina’s pianist in many of Angelina’s videos,welcome to Angelina Jordan Astar, the most talented artist I’ve ever seen or heard, present day Angelina is 18 years old, I attended her recent live concerts in Las Vegas on the 29th February, her stage presence was incredible her live vocals phenomenal, great reaction thanks 🙏
Lots of great info is coming your way on Angelina! I won’t repeat it all, but welcome to our world with “Angels” everywhere (that’s what Angelina calls her fans).
Courtney is great. I watched her very early performances even before AGT. I won’t compare these two talents, but AJ is my personal favorite. Her catalogue of music and emotional delivery of each story is far removed from every other singer out there.
Thank you & looking for more of Angelina
Angelina is 18 now and just two concerts in Las Vegas in the Westgate hotel which were amazing! You can through her songs in whichever way you like it. You can historical and start at Norway got Talent which she entered at 7 and won. You can go hysterical and go for Bohemian Rhapsody which just past 100 million streams or you can go categorial go by the covers of whichever artist you like best or go for creativity and listen to her own songs. All are fine: just do whatever inspires you :-)
Bart, In the ten months I've covered reaction channels, covering AJ, yours is the best advice I've heard. ♾Rb
Exponentially better, yes. Nice first up reaction. You will love anything of Angelina's you do next but it may be worth going to the start and looking at the four songs on Norways got talent first.
People who hear this as their first Angelina song think she just has an unusual voice that fits perfectly with this arrangement of Hawkins original. That’s not the case-and you’ll understand that so clearly when you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina is known as the girl with a thousand voices. You heard one of those today.
Like many who have followed Angelina for years, I have no reservations about saying she’s the best singer I’ve ever heard, and I’ve listened to music since the 1950’s. She will blow you away from age 7 to now at 18-and she will do that in multiple genres that she can handle as effortlessly as this retro blues take today. Your musical life has changed today.
Retro, Ms. Jordan began practicing singing for four to six hours a day starting at five years old, to perfect her tone and technique. By the time of this performance at nine, she was well on her way to masterclass level. Ms. Jordan is one of the most documented humans of our era, her growth and development has lead to much speculation on the “how is this possible thinking”, but then comes the realization that prodigies have always been among us. I can only say I count myself fortunate to be witness to what Ms. Jordan has accomplished in the past and what she will create in the future. ♾ Rb
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! This history-making performance is as unnerving as it is magnificent!! 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 (170+ 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.
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.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

Its 4/4/24 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯
As a fellow Canadian, I will proudly say this prodigy can do with a mic what Gretzky did on skates with a stick.
This video is like watching "The Great One" in his junior years.
As you go through your journey (and you will) keep my analogy in mind.
She is currently 18 - let's see what the future brings.
Go Leafs Go! 😜
@@RetroToMetroReactions This season, my only response can be, "How many years?!?" LOL!
@@scottyr618 I know. I know. 😜
Not only an amazing singer but she also arranged this piece herself, at 9, those were her notes at the beginning.
Going not only better, she's going better and better with no limit. Doing a historic Day with a double concert at the famous place of Elvis in Las Vegas 🎉
I'm sure your how reaction will soon change to WOW. Bohemian Rhapsody is a very good experience for your next reaction 🎉
An epic masterpiece of "shock-rock jazz" performed and arranged by Angelina having just turned nine. Of course Angelina worked with the band in creating her own arrangement, who had admiringly nicknamed Angelina "The Boss".
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on TH-cam. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on TH-cam went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a TH-cam video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on TH-cam. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On TH-cam, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage.
Wow! 🤗
"How does that voice come out of her?" She's a prodigy (she was 9 years old here). Angelina's innate talent was off the charts as a little girl, and she's developed today into an 18-year-old young woman who can sing anything from jazz to blues to soul to pop to R&B, etc., and she'll make you feel every song she sings. She is, hands down, my favorite singer of all time. Thanks so much for your reaction. I certainly hope we see you back with more Angelina (yes, "Bohemian Rhapsody" at age 13 on AGT is a great followup up to this one). Have a great week! 👼
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/w-d-xo.html
You got a sub for knowing who performed the original 😁
Yes. Many know it only as “the song from Hocus Pocus”.
@@pjg58x Exactly. That or they think it’s a Nina Simone original.
You have already seen many comments from us Angels...that's what Amgelina calls us fans. Besides being a phenomenal singer she has a very compassionate heart. I noticed you looked at her barefeet when you were commenting. You might think that that was just sweet , but it is much more that. The short story is when she was 6 living in the middle east she met a homeless girl about her age in the market in a wet and cold day with no shoes trying to earning $ to support her siblings. Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to her
And vowed from the day she will not wear shoes when on stage until poverty in children are addressed. She still doesn't wear shoes on stage now at 18 ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! That is awesome. 🤗
She is the best in the world 🌎
🙂👍🔥🔥🔥
If you like retro music, you'll definitely love Angelina Jordan.
Oh, you're gonna like Bohemian Rhapsody. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 and recorded this, her own arrangement of Screamin' Jay's classic blues song, about a year later. Incidentally, she also became Norway's youngest published author at age 9, for her book about giving her shoes to a shoeless girl in the Middle East when she was around 6. She has performed barefoot since then to remember that event. Great reaction!
Very nicely composed description. And thank you for linking to the original artist and/or video creator. You're doing a great job with your channel. You will enjoy the Angelina journey. Her fans (Angels) are many and 99% are also great people.
A top 10 'fun to hear & watch' of all time!
Oh, Retro...you are in for an incredible journey!
" bohemian rhapsody " just recently passed 100 million views , yes recommended .❤❤❤
If you'd like some age progression, try Feelin Good, the television performance when she was 10. She's now 18
Great reaction,
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan (AJ), she was 9 in this video, but started singing at the age of 1 1/2; won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7-8 and appeared on AGT at 13
She recently did a concert in Las Vegas, now age 18
Enjoy the great music !
Thank you. ❤
Congratulations and sit back. You don't know what to expect. A flood of information from Angelina's fans, whom she calls "Angels". And yes..Bohemian Rhapsody is a good choice. The video now has 100 million views. The song "I put a spell on you" was arranged and recorded by her in 2015 when she was 9 years old (Born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway)
She also arranges all of her covers and songs herself. On February 29th. In 24 she had two concerts at the Westgate in Las Vegas. The spectators were thrilled.
Angelina Jordan is a big can of goodness you definetly need to open :=) She is the most talented singer the world has seen, in my humble opinion. She has grown both in stature and as a singer since this. I never tire of seeing people get shocked over Angelina the first time :D Cheers!
Welcome to the ride. Now at 18, Angelina Jordan is the Hope diamond among zircons.
She shocked everybody on Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 and won (by a country mile) when she was 8. Well, she didn't shock so much as blow everybody away with her incredible talent. Sure, Bohemian Rhapsody is a good one, and maybe you'd like to hear her 4 songs on Norway's Got Talent, but to be honest you can pick anything. She never fails to deliver. She was 9 in this video and is now 18. If you think she sounded amazing then, just listen to her now! Liked and subscribed!
Madam, She practised her craft since age 3,5 almost every day for hours and hours. At age 9 she already was a veteran. Now at age 18 she had 2 shows/concerts in Las Vegas on the same stage as Elvis Presley.
Be safe and sound.
Sincerely, Elmar from Germany
"I'm very interested to see how she does this because...I can't even imagine." The amazing thing about Angelina is that, even after you see her do it, you still can't even imagine!
Welcome to the best rabbitt hole on you tube. . Shes Amazing in everyway, not just her singing, but as a human . Im sure you will read in the comments her History. You cant go wrong watching any of her long list of videos, each one is an Amazing show of ger ability to arrange and make any Genere any song her own while keeping respect for the original Artist . ENJOY . . .
Welcome! You have just finished watching the child prodigy and young legend Angel-ina Jordan. The rabbit hole runs deep, but you will NEVER be disappointed! Her impeccable vocal control is mesmerizing and unforgettable. Thank you so much for your reaction. Hope to see you again! ❤❤❤
Pick any performance of Her's, she will astound again and again!!!!
The Angelic community is in the building, prepare to be overwhelmed; with information, insights and passion from this dedicated fan base. We are all heralds of the coming age of Ms. Angelina Jordan, the young living legend of music. ♾Rb
Please create an Angelina playlist. Your gonna need it...
You have just met a genius and prodigy. The best female singer ever. You will find out that everything about Angelina is top notch. She's a perfect human being imo.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jorden (AJ). I am looking forward to your coming reactions!
Retro? Fantastic! How about putting some of these on your playlist: Autumn Leaves, Fly Me to the Moon, Summertime, I Will Survive. Have fun!
Performed, of course, by Angelina Jordan😀😀😀😀😀
@@tadeostodullo4587 Ah yes, of course, and I believe at age 10
You have just entered the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. And it is an amazing place to be. This gifted young artist is truly a genius. Looking forward to joining you on your journey. Thanks for a great reaction.
I agree, but everyone calls it a rabbit hole, but let's be honest it's a Universe
9 yrs old
She's got over 200 videos over the years documenting the path a 7 year old prodigy decided to walk on one day. There's compilation mixes. Her voice is golden and all her exploring genres has been great. They make great background music as it's so comforting and energizing.
most versatile young female singer in my life time in my opinion .
I'm just a little jealous. You've just fallen into one of the most wonderful rabbit holes in the world. You have over 200 videos of covers, originals, and concert clips to explore. I've been following this young woman from her first performances at Norway's Got Talent. She's now 18 years old and gave her first Las Vegas concerts a couple of weeks ago. Her Angels will be here soon, and if you read your comments here you'll learn all about this amazing girl. And several will post recommended playlists of videos for you to watch. It doesn't matter whether you go back to her earliest stuff or start with her most recent songs (many of which are originals) you are going to be amazed. And keep a box of tissues handy. Angelina has the amazing talent of singing the emotions of a song, making you feel those emotions. Sooner or later you'll be reaching for those tissues. Her recent performance of "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Prize ceremony chokes me up every time I hear it.
That little look on her face at the end was AJ contemplating her arrangements of the song.
Bohemian next yes:)
Feeling good
is also a great one.
Another norwegian young girl is Auroa - Runaway nobel peace prize consert
I just reacted to Aurora. (!) That will be uploaded tomorrow. 🤗
@@RetroToMetroReactions great😊 nobel peace prize runaway is great
@@RetroToMetroReactions Awesome 🙂 I obviously don't know which performance you've reacted to, but if it's NOT "Through The Eyes Of A Child" at the Nidarosdomen cathedral here in Norway, that one is an absolute MUST. Believe me😉 And also, if you react to Angelina's performance of "Feeling Good" at age 10, make sure to use the performance she did on a televised charity event called "The Stream Gir Tilbake". That performance is in the top 5 among all of her fans I think, many have is as their favorite. You will understand why that is. Love from Norway
Norway's got Talent at age 7. She was 8 when she won (over adults). I think you would enjoy her performances on there. She was on AGT at 13 years old and would have won that competition but when she wouldn't sign a contract with Simon - well she didn't win.
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James,Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official TH-cam channel on March 29th, 2024.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Welcome to Miss Jordan rabbit hole you should know she started singing when she was year and half years old she told her parents she wanted to sing and they supported her 💯 percent
Holy Shit about covers it my dear....welcome to the world of one of the greatest vocalists to grace this planet in many decades....she is 9 here, barely, her arrangement as well. So not only a master vocalist but a genius musician as well. You will get bombarded in the comments so all I have...been following her for 8+ years for a reason. Just enjoy the journey...we fans are several million strong supporting this artist. Cheers. 🥰🥰
WOW!😳 Sounds like movie soundtrack coming in her lucrative future.Like a undercover FBI agent infiltrating a gang of mobsters to cacth the real mobsters type of movie.I didn't expect that powerful voice either.The way she went high and low...AMAZIN'👍👍👏👏
She has already had one song in a resent movie called Hating game. Angelina covered Mercy, and the song actually opened the start of the film.
Angelina has expressed her desire to sing a Bond song, at the age of 11. Her original Shield, was inspired by the sound of past Bond songs.
"The Girl With a Thousand voices". Nine yrs old here.. "Bohemian Rhapsody" at 13 is a good choice but does skip some amazing performances in between that you might want to drop back to. She's 18 now and phenomenal.
She was 9 when recording this, 10 when it was released. 😎
@@McDevittMike Thanks.
💯
There several excellent young singers out there, but only handful that take a step beyond excellent. Angelina is one of them. A similar talent is Amira Willighagen who won "Holland's got Talent" at the age of 9, having taught herself opera watching TH-cam videos! Jumping back and forth between these two would make me a happy old man.
Subscribed for Angelina!
Bienvenida al maravilloso universo de nuestra Princesa Descalza Angelina Jordan, te queda lo más increíble y maravilloso de ver y escuchar.
Cariñosos saludos desde Chile
❤👏👏🇨🇱😊
She said she had wrote over 100 songs by the time she was 10. She's now 18, and her talent has grown exponentially, and on top of all that, she's also a 6 foot towering statuesque beauty who, imo, is head and shoulders above any super models. Talk about a TOTAL package, lol

Welcome to AJ rabbit hole, only around 250 videos to go. Might want to start with Angelina Jordan, the early years and the Angelina Jordan 10 years in the making....Good luck. Ps us angels fans are very protective of our Barefoot princess 😊😊
Tie your hat with a wire because you're going to be blown away every time you listen to Angelina. In this recording she was 9 yo in beast mode. She’s now 18 and one of the best vocalist on the planet and a stunning beautiful 6’1’’ young lady.
I notice that you smile when you saw she was barefoot, there is a humanitarian reason why she always sing barefoot in public, others fans « Angels » will tell you the story.
🤣 So true!
✒️...welcome to Angelina's world of music...the veteran of best entertainment at age 18 now😂😉the princess will shine like a diamant...Greatings from Berlin
How come you haven’t heard from her? That’s crazy
I heard her name, but never listened to her. I’ve been living under a rock.
Another couple things you'll often hear about Angelina. "She alway surprises me and she never disappoints." Thanks for your positive reaction and for knowing Screamin' Jay. If you enjoy classic jazz, this will be a rewarding journey.
🤯🤯🤯 is the proper reaction!
😅😅
✌️💖🎼
Thanks for your reaction to my favorite singer songwriter...🙂💛
Angelina is joy in my life, and I love watching people who have never had the good fortune to hear her, who then find out all the reasons she deserves the world as her fan base: for her music, her voice, and her very remarkable soul. You will enjoy this trip. It's full of love, and God knows, we need a lot of that now.
Hi, nice that you took a little look into Angelina's rabbit hole. She was 9 years old when she heard this song and she arranged it herself based on the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 with songs by Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and the song Summertime. You are at the very beginning and I hope that you embark on the further journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world in my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me, you are just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (Angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with the 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to any song and also convey a lot of emotions and she has not only around 200 covers but also 14 originals written by her and 2 written for her, all of which are amazing and even now legendary and there is a lot to tell, I look forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany, by the way she is now 18 years old.
Welcome to Angelinas world.
You may find bad recordings and songs YOU dont like but never a bad performance from Angelina.
Agree with that. I can never fault her performance. Sometimes she will cover a song that I don't like. After a few listens, they grow on me and I will like her version.
@@brucehollingworth6993 Yeah that is why i hope she never record an opera. LOL
Check out her singing Feeling Good.
😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰
Stages of reactors' smiles for this: 1) cute kid 2) oh, the little girl sings low, how cute 3) she can screech? 4) growl? Belting a la Amy. 5) By the time the "I Love You"s come out most have stopped smiling due to cuteness, and have moved on to admiration and praise
Angelina a nine year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy. She has God given talent that is how she does this! Takes Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 classic and rearranges it into this masterpiece. Notice the last minute changes she handed to the director. She has been doing this since she was six years old! Amazing control. Affectionately known as the “Boss” by her band! See her Norway’s Got Talent all four videos! Yes she won at eight years old! She is now 18 years old! Angelina is known for only doing one take possibly two to complete a song, there is no auto tune used in any of her songs, pure Angelina! She just did back to back concerts in one night at the Westgate Casino and Resorts in Las Vegas! She performed 38 songs and debuted an unreleased song called Princess of Ruins! He song is about why she performs barefoot on stage! She is an amazing young lady! 🇳🇴🇺🇸
"Look for the special little musical moment's that make life magical.!!!" - Miss. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide... "Thank U - Ms. Retro"
You don’t have to imagine. Leave that to Angelina. She’ll never let you down.
👣⭐❤❤ Everything she does
Thank YOU for picking up on this recomandation. I feel such joy every time we get new reactors to react to our barefoot star and princess Angelina. At 7yo, back in 2014, she heard from judges at NGT (the norwegian talents show) that 👣 -"you are BORN to sing" and "You ARE music".👣 Yes she was still 7, and covered 👣 Billie Holiday`s "Gloomy Sunday".👣 You should very well go to her AGT performance -s, and then jump back to her NGT performances. That will tell you the basic on the storry why we, her fans love and care so much and seriously about this musical wonder in this world. You are so so welcome to take part and join in with all of us "angels", - her fanbase and quite litteraly followers. Angelina`s spell has taken the strongest grip on all of us. 🤗
Loved your reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 The fact that you know of Screamin Jay tells me that you are destined to become a fan if you just hear enough of her. Hope that you continue to check her out, would be awesome to follow your journey 🌹 Take care and see you on Bohemian Rhapsody!
Hopefully your journeys only just begun with listening to Angelina Jordan. I know I’m 68 I have never experienced such an unbelievable musical prodigy!!! Please continue the journey!!
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. A child prodigy and musical genius. Angelina has been singing since she was just in the crib at one and a half years old and has a huge jazz influence background through her grandmother Mery. With mentors like Billie Holiday,, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra modern mentors like Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Norah Jones and the great Elvis Presley. Angelina can sing any type of music, especially jazz, but with her unbelievable ability to mimic and sound like mature singers, she can do any one of these great artists at any one time during her performances. She won Norway's. Got Talent at the age of eight singing jazz classics and won with her rendition of the song "Summertime " She wrote a children's book at age 9 which became the number one children's top selling book in Norway that year. She has sung for royalty. She sang for hundreds of thousands of people all over the world while raising money for children's charities etc. She's a very humble, sincere, compassionate and loving soul. Her wonderful family and adoring fans and known angels all over the world are so very protective of this wonderful beautiful singer. She appeared at 13 on American's, Got Talent The Champions edition in 2020 and blew the audience and judges away with her performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody ' She recently signed in the last couple years with Republic Records and they are so enamored with her. They built her a recording studio to hone and develop. her musical skills. She is their most coveted young artist to date. Has just performed in Las Vegas the last month and has also recently performed at the Nobel Peace Prize event in December and Oslo , Norway. I hope you decide to continue the journey as we all have with Angelina from the time she was 6 in the studio to now at 18. She has well over 250 covers and originals for you to enjoy and she will make each of them her own and keep the original intact while giving it her own personal spin on it. I guarantee you will never be disappointed with any of these covers originals that you do and it's just a matter of time before she will become a global superstar. Time is on her side as she is only 18 now and just getting her feet really wet into mainstream music. Keep posting my friend and I hope you enjoy the journey.
