Thanks so much! Phenomenal!!

[@stevenhambek846]

YES, that is her mother Sara. Always by her side. One of the best parts of the story, her mom supporting and protecting her that allows her dreams to come true seamlessly. You’ll see the care and wisdom displayed by Angelina and her family top to bottom. Grandma Mery, Sara and uncle Michael.

I love that! ❤️ Thanks so much!

[@charlesmorgan1433]

Yeah whole family is awesome. Angelina just couldn't have more enlightened support!

[@geraldjensen6831]

They call here "the girl with a thousand voices" "the barefoot princess of jazz"--influences include Billie Holiday. Her range is amazing--listen to her do Lana del Reys' BORN TO DIE at 13, and SUMMERTIME at twelve, FEELING GOOD at ten, WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES at nine, IT'S NOW OR NEVER at twelve...

After Angelina performed Gloomy Sunday on NGT, her mom was asked in an interview why she was crying backstage. She said it was because at that time she realizrd she would have to share her daughter with the world.

This was 9 yo Angelina jamming on Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Portrait of A Man, changing it to her Portrait of A Child. And yes, that beautiful woman is her protective Momma Bear, Sara Astar, always watching over her.

[@setonhillstudios]

Oh cool! Love the interpretation on this one! So good!

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina is 9 years old here - 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

[@setonhillstudios]

Gotcha! Thanks for the breakdown! So cool to see from such a young artist!

[@elmarwinkler6335]

At first, they discovered, her microphone was too low in Volume, than she asked, can we start over again? They smiled and counted down for her to begin again. Than speaking with the piano player: "I think we should take this a tone higher". They loved and adored her dearly.At the end she chances the text as you saw. Originally from Jay Hawkins "Portrait of a MAN", she rewrote it a bit for herself. After winning NGT 2014 she was invited by national TV to "Alsang Pa Grensen" and sang in the voice of Dinah Washington "What a difference a day makes". About 3 week later, so I was told by Norwegians, her people declared her THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY. Now I think you understand Norwegian musicians RESPECT of Angelina. She never steered any musician wrong. Norway is not a big country, they may have as much citizens as your country has in the whole of New York. So imagine a little girl makes her way to the big stages in the world. Sir be happy and safe. Elmar from Germany

There’s a reason that she is considered a prodigy, she embodies all aspects of the music and combines it into her artistry. By the way, you have gotten ahead of yourself, there was Norway’s Got Talent and this performance of “What a Difference a Day Makes” right after NGT when she was 8; kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITJmHZ_fMlqoZYsi=7-pNM6pF1xhldo6r

[@setonhillstudios]

So much content I can’t keep it in order! Thanks so much! ❤️

[@johnvasi]

We know that musicians have referred to her as the boss, but I think it’s more a term of endearment. You can see here and in other videos that Angelina sees herself as a part of the whole. The success of a recording is the mix of music and vocals. And also here you can see that Angelina is, in her bones, a jazz singer. You get extemporaneous takes on songs that she’s sung many times-even when she was very, very young. Try her version of Summertime, at 8, when she won Norway’s Got Talent. It’s beautifully nuanced, and her timing and vocal agility is immaculate. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ_Td6Z5g7CtfMksi=dEDlKYwXJ0xaSdpL

[@setonhillstudios]

I think she just knows what she wants so she leads the band to that destination! Crazy talented and can’t wait to hear more!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@ronraskind]

Angelina Jordan Astar, born on January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway, showed a passion for singing at an incredibly young age. At just one and a half years old, she sang in her crib, inspired by Whitney Houston's performances on KZbin, and by the age of three, she was already listening to jazz and classic legends on her iPad. While her grandmother, artist and poet Mery Zamani, was the greatest influence of her early musical tastes, it was Angelina who ultimately decided to pursue a career in music, with great support from her family. At the age of six and seven, Angelina had her very first studio performances, singing "Rolling in the Deep" and "I Who Have Nothing." However, it was at the age of eight that she gained viral fame by winning Norway's Got Talent. Singing old-time classics from artists like Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, she became one of the youngest vocalists ever to win an international Got Talent show. Her rendition of Screamin Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" at the age of nine is considered one of the best performances by a vocalist of that age. She is truly a prodigy. By the time Angelina was eleven, she recorded her album "It's Magic," which consistently charted as one of the top 10 best-selling jazz albums. With over 130 covers of songs from 80 different artists by the age of 13, and over 200 to date, Angelina always adds her unique touch to each rendition. Here is a detailed chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of most of Angelina's 200+ videos including tiktok and Instagram. Many are not on her channel. www.dimlylit.net/aja/ In 2019 and 2020, at the ages of thirteen and fourteen, Angelina once again gained viral attention on America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her unique versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" impressed not only Simon Cowell but also earned her the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. The surviving members of Queen also praised her performance. Perhaps most astonishingly, Angelina sings in English, her third language. During her earlier years, and especially after her America's Got Talent performances, multiple record company executives took notice of Angelina's talent. However, her family declined their offers, prioritizing her education and a normal childhood. It wasn't until she turned fourteen that a contract was signed with Republic Records, marking the start of her career. Between the ages of eleven and twelve, Angelina even composed her first three original songs: "What is Life," "Oslo," and "Shield." In November 2020, at the age of fourteen, she released the song "Million Miles" as a tribute to her late maternal grandfather. This marked her first release under Republic Records, and a year later she followed it up with her jazzy and upbeat single, "7th Heaven." Why does Angelina perform barefoot? It all stems from a promise she made to herself at the age of six. While traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, they encountered a young orphan girl who had no shoes and had scarred feet. This girl weighed people with scales to earn money. Angelina gave her own favorite shoes to the girl, and when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the girl said she wanted to be a doctor but couldn't because she had to take care of her siblings. When Angelina was asked the same question, she said she wanted to sing for the world. The young girl promised to pray for Angelina. Since that day, Angelina has performed barefoot as a reminder of those less fortunate. At the age of nine, she even wrote a book about this experience titled "Between Two Hearts," becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. Aside from her music, Angelina is known for her charitable nature. She has helped raise millions for children and environmental causes, mostly from performances at fundraising events. At the age of eight, she even pledged to donate her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children in need. She has performed for heads of state in various countries to raise money for charity and during the pandemic, she was seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. Throughout her career, she has continued to prioritize helping those in need. Now that Angelina has recently turned eighteen, her activities with Republic Records have multiplied. She released her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" on May 5th, 2023, followed by her EP "Old Enough" in July, featuring five new original tracks. Her song "Our Time" has been featured in a commercial by SoFi, a finance company, and is played regularly at Sodi Stadium. Additionally, it has been heard on various radio stations. Angelina's performances have taken her to numerous high-profile events. In December 2022, she performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles, and in February 2023, she performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, reaching an audience in the millions. She was also invited on Germany's Next Top Model in 2023 by Heidi Klum. On November 25, 2023, Angelina had the honor of attending Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. Additionally, she was invited to perform at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, on December 11, 2023. Narges is an activist for women's rights who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran. This performance held great significance for Angelina and her family, as her grandmother Mery Zamani grew up in Iran. They hope that Angelina's performance, combined with Narges' story, will inspire change and raise awareness of her mission. Angelina's humble and compassionate nature is what makes her so special, in addition to her music. Since childhood, her goal has been to sing for the world and spread love and peace, and she is well on her way to achieving that. Peace and love.

When she was very young she and her grandma Mery started watching KZbin jazz videos, and then Angelina started training her voice 4-6 hours a day every day because she loved singing. These were her words in an interview when asked how she learned how to sing.

Yes. that beautiful blonde woman was her wonderful mom who has guided her with love all these years and has done everything possible to allow Angelina the opportunity to live her dream of singing to all of us without the stress associated with such accomplishments. She recently had a birthday and Angelina wrote a Birthday Card to her (I'm sure you can imagine) which was very beautiful and she said Sara was the most important figure in her life playing the role of both parents and also being her best friend. But, I don't want to leave it there because the love in that family is overflowing and it includes grandma Mery, younger sister Juliette and uncle Michael who has been her manager since the beginning. In fact, I'm sure it must of been grandma videoing this moment. Btw, did you notice the members of the band had already understood Angelina knew exactly what she was doing and she was taking it very seriously. She had their respect and she glowingly spoke to them in a way they appreciated it and knew in their hearts, "This young girl is very special!"

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! It’s nice that she had such a supporting mom and family to help her stay grounded in that crazy business!

[@jim-rohe]

She is working, for the most part, with the same band she recorded 'I put a spell on you' with. I believe she is 9 years old here. The lady in the corner is her mom, Sara. Her comments here were first she wanted to start over and then she thought it was a little low and wanted them to take it up a tone. And then change at the ending. I love watching this too. She is such a pro. Peace.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! Peace ✌🏻

The final performance is, clearly, the arrival, but looking at what happens before is very useful to understand how much this wonderful talent affects the transcription of the song, at 10 years old, but also before and after, Angelina has always had incredible intuitions for taste and variations on the covers you performed and, if you didn't make variations you still left a unique mark through your incomparable voice and tone, clearly these intuitions allow you to write originals beyond all comparison. Thank you for the excellent review, have a good life and music.

This is a video probably recorded on just a cell phone kost likly by her grandmother Meri Zamani. There is a lot of video documentation by her grandmother of Angelina growing up. In fact grandma Meri directed several of Angelina’s early videos.

[@poolhallshark]

I'm so happy to see you back with Angelina so quickly 🙂 And to see just how much you enjoyed watching this one; a video most reactors don't really find a lot of value in most of the times, I know for an absolute fact that you're gonna love your Angelina journey immensely. I haven't read through the comments yet, but I guess someone has already told you that the blonde lady sitting down indeed is her mother Sara. And the one behind the camera was more likely than not Sara's mother and Angelina's biggest inspiration in life, Mery Zamani. Angelina and Mery has an incredibly tight bond. There are TWO people in the world whom without there would be no Angelina, and that is Mery Zamani and Billie Holiday. As far as your next reactions, I think they should be her 4 performances on Norway 's Got Talent, which she won at age 8. Her audition was made when she was still 7, performing "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday. Her next performance is ALSO by Billie Holiday, but a capella this time, performing "I'm A Fool To Want You". Her third performance was "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra, and in the final she performed "Summertime" by George Gershwin. Do those and your Angelina foundation is a really strong one before exploring her other performances form when she was "older" 😅 But rest absolutely assured, whatever you choose to do next, you just can't go wrong. Roughly 200 performances, but none of them are what you'd be tempted to call sub par. They simply don't exist. You'll understand soon enough 🙂 Have a great week ahead, my friend, and I hope to see you again really soon! Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Hi Seton, WARNING Angelina will steal your hart. Welcome to Angelina Jordan’s world. Here is a short documentary "Born To Sing" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHaZqWyMbaihr9k Links below at the end, to a few of her amazing covers like Bohemian Rhapsody. Her fans call her “The barefoot Princess” the girl with 1000 voices.. She will amaze and shock you with her unique voice, stage presents and the spell she puts on you. She has a huge fan base and over 88 million views for her performances on America’s Got Talent (The Champions).. She has over 160 covers starting from the age of 6 years old and now in 2023 at the age of 17, has released her original songs which are awesome. She started singing at the age of one and a half, with a Whitney Huston song no less, of course it wasn't perfect but still impressive for that age.. At the age of 6 she made a video of her first studio recording, it was a jaw dropping performance for that age… She won Norway's got Talent at the age of 7 with her final song covering Billy Holiday’s “Summer time”. I think you will be mesmerized at her projection of emotion for a girl at such a young age, she is an old soul. Some people say that Billy Holiday, Etta James, and others have reincarnated in her. It would be nice to see your reactions to her youtube videos and then you would understand why people adore her so much. Here are links to 3 of her many covers that some fans suggest you start with your journey of Angelina. There is also a story behind why she always performs barefoot to this day. The first one is at the age of 13.. her unique cover of Queens “Bohemian Rhapsody”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3eTe4lobduagtk The Second at the age of 6 years old, her first time in a recording studio singing "I who have nothing" AMAZING FOR 6 YEARS OLD kzbin.info/www/bejne/haWznKt-m8SlZq8 The third, I think at age 16, "Suspicious Minds" (Elvis Presley Cover) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIXFfJuhmMqFZpI ENJOY ☮

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for all the info!

[@fredt7518]

She didn’t direct the band she was asking when to begin at first and at the end she noticed that she had to end the song higher so she sang the end again … she is a godess singer but don’t exaggerate she don’t need it

[@setonhillstudios]

Couldn’t understand her so I assumed. That’s unfortunate 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FlyingAngel0638]

Edited, added link. The Norway Got Talent judge, Omer Bhatti, said he saw Angelina (7 years old) instructed the bass player during rehearsal. Angelina Jordan - interview with judge Omer Bhatti 28th of January 2016 - KZbin m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGqpqGxteNCpnZYm

[@FlyingAngel0638]

Omer Bhatti (NGT judge) said: All of us thought she was extremely good and we also said she was a star... but I remember someone asking us later, wether she was a good impersonator or if she was "the real deal"! The next time she came to rehersal, we saw that she owned the stage she instructed the bass player and had it all under control. So all of us (the judges) said yes, she really is a star, here we have someone very special in front of us.

[@RaymondCore]

The song is by the same artist who wrote and performed 'I Put a Spell on You' (1956) that she covered in an earlier Reaction. Screamin' Jay Hawkins' Portrait of a Man (1972) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4mQdX6jfrylgKs Is a song even Angelina can't keep up with SJH. You should do a reaction to it.

[@setonhillstudios]

Appreciate the suggestion! Definitely have to check it out! Thanks! 😁

What do you think it cost to hire a studio with 6 musicians?

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s hard to say! Some studios offer day rates and some charge by the hour. Then it depends if the musicians are part of that studio fee or contracted out. Quite a few variables.
