When she said she hadn't done much since winning 'Norske Talenter', I literally yelled out loud, "WHAT?!"

[@rongotwalt4487]

Wonderful interview and it's great to hear her answer questions at that age ! Thank you this it was much appreciated ! She is such a humble but confident girl ! E👍🇨🇦❤️

[@pallen49]

My gosh, call me ' crazy ' but I can listen to Angelina talk ALL DAY about anything....Something about her voice that is so sweet and comforting...It makes you feel like you're part of her family...What a sweet child...So so love her...

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

Thank you for translating this! It was great to listen to. We so rarely get to hear the 'talking' side of Angelina. You can really tell what a sweet, nice person she is in interviews.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Thank you very much for this. It really made me feel good because all the things I have been saying about Angelina are true and were confirmed in this interview. Of course, it is now 2021 and a lot has happened since then and she has stayed on course. Angelina seems very comfortable where she is right now and the admiration I have for her is limitless. She has touched my heart and in return, like the little girl with no shoes, I will pray for her. The world and it's people are adopting Angelina and it is a glorious moment to behold.

[@alberttenfoot]

Angelina is so genuinely modest and "normal", whereas many other singers with far less talent take every opportunity to promote themselves when interviewed. As Rusty remarked below. We hear little of the "talking" Angelina and I give a big "thumbs up" to you for making the translation available.

She is brief and to the point with her answers . She seems very well founded; comfortable with who she is - where she is - where she is going in life . . . . . . and happy . That makes me happy since she has given so much . . . . . . . .

[@ulyseslabajo]

Angelina Jordan answered the questions straight to the point... Like her singing very straight forward and modest. Her foundation is really strong.. that's why I'm so confident about her choices in life in years to come.

[@alberttenfoot]

Angelina is the daughter every man wishes to have. But, she is much to young to be my daughter or even grand daughter. So I have adopted her as my virtual great grand daughter.

[@genevapriest6190]

Great idea, especially in curren time.

[@briant3404]

she is so awesome, totally enjoyable and fun interview, what a role model. i hope to be more like her. . appears she will be spending most of her Christmases in Norway. I like her Christmas concerts the best, which means i have to go to Norway in winter someday, I would much rather see her in Norway than anywhere else . bucket list. thanks for doing that translation and posting , that was awesome. tusen takk.

[@patrickrasmussen6180]

Just when I thought that this adorable young lady couldn't impress me any more I hear this!

[@brendaveselich3086]

She is incredible. Such a beautiful soul. Thank you for posting this.

[@NKRI-HARGA-MATI2023]

Thank you for uploading this interview with English substitle🙏 Angelina's talking voice is so cute. I hear a young person talking which is totally different from the Jazzy voice when she sings. Warmest regards from Jakarta, Indonesia💐

One thing is really rare... Angie is in fact a Norwegian, but when she speaks Norwegian i can hear very clearly in this interview that she actually has a little accent speaking. She sounds like an American who speaks Norwegian very well and that's a bit funny :-D Probably because she's been growing up outside of Norway for the most. I belive her main language is US-English but her mother Country is Norway. Strange mix... :-D

[@YozhikvTumane]

I think I can detect an influence from Swedish. Things like "Tomten" & "mormor" instead of "Julenissen" & "bestemor" and a few other words ... or is this a change that's starting to spread more commonly among the younger generations? The over all accent also have a slight Swedishness to it I think.

[@DonaldLancon]

@@YozhikvTumane A very late response, and I know you know this already, but for comment readers: her father is Swedish. And to Harry: as a native English speaker in the U.S., I can tell you that while her English mostly sounds like "middle of the road" American (that is, not noticeably "regional", like from the Northeast, the Midwest, the South, or the West Coast), she does sometimes "slip" and reveal a distinctly "foreign" sounding accent - even in the most recent videos posted on and around her 15th birthday, after _years_ living in the U.S. It's funny (in the sense of "interesting")… her upbringing has left her sort of "in between" cultures, not sounding entirely Norwegian to Norwegians nor entirely American to Americans. But I'm sure if there are any other people out there for whom music is their true "mother tongue", they recognize her as one of their own. [grin]

[@RobertDeMartin]

@@DonaldLancon Donald, you described her challenges with languages very well and people all over the world give her a pass and never have anything negative to say about it. In fact, I personally like to hear her "slight" accent at times. It actually hints to the world she is here for everyone to enjoy and when you consider her global influences it is no wonder that the love affair with her continues to grow and grow. Angelina is very genuine and has so much love in her heart which she conveys to us and we must always understand it is a two way street and we need to always support her and let her know we will always be by her side. Thanks, again, Donald. Such a beautiful story Angelina is creating right before our eyes.

[@steinarhatlen2622]

Yes, I'm Norwegian and can confirm that she has minor issues with some Norwegian words. But it's OK and fully understandable. Clearly she speaks the accent from Oslo in the East of Norway, while the interviewer has an accent from a Western part of Norway. Probably somewhere around Bergen. For those who doesn't speak Norwegian these two accents sounds different. We have about 200 different dialects in Norway. Most of them are understood by all of us. Most Norwegians also understand Swedish very well, and vice versa. Swedish is not a problem in Norway.

[@steinarhatlen2622]

@@YozhikvTumane Many Norwegians are using ''mormor'' (grandmother) The word means ''the mother of the mother'' while ''bestemor'' is used for ''the mother of the mother/father'' It's used for both grandmothers. ''Tomten'' (Santa Claus) is Swedish, not a Norwegian word at all, as Norwegians use the word ''Julenissen''

[@mehdikeyha3755]

She always has her mom and sister and grandma and uncle with her what about her dad where is he??? He is always.missing if somebody has any information about her father please let me know

[@YozhikvTumane]

Probably on an offshore oil rig, or some desert oilfield where his know-how is needed. I don't think Angelina is making enough money yet to support them all.

[@masaikeda3093]

Angelina's family eats sushi because her grandfather is Japanese. She was in Tehran when she came upon the girl with no shoes. The shoes that she gave her was her favorite sea green ankle boots.

[@thomasnorb4077]

Nonsense! Norwegians eat sushi for lunch and dinner, it's very common. You can even find it premade in Norwegian supermarkets. There are plenty of restaurants of course.
