FIRST TIME WATCHING ANGELINA JORDAN PERFORM - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY [FIRST TIME REACTION]

[@RobertDeMartin]

Phil, right off the bat, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" You want her fans (her angels) to send you info about her? Get out your reading glasses because you will be bombarded with data (playlists and personal) about her! She's now 16 (will be 17 on Jan 10th) and she's been touching people's hearts singing for them since she was 7 years old. If you listen to this several more times, this MASTERPIECE, your emotional connection to her and her version will heighten more each time. If you feel something going on inside you right now, she's already touched your heart. It takes a while for the brain to figure out what just happened but, not your heart. Your heart figured everything out within the first10 seconds. It knew she was a "keeper!"

Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, and she is always amazing, and mesmerizing.

Welcome to Angelina and her fan base. Angelina's followers call ourselves her "Angels" and are very protective of her and her family. Please read Andy Schnell's comment, he always provides a good background for Angelina and I won't try to repeat everything.

[@keithserafy]

This is her arrangement of a portion of Queen's song, Bohemian Rhapsody. The members of Queen were so impressed with this version, they allowed her to copyright it under her previous independent label, Angelina Jordan, Inc. A year after this, at 14, she was signed with Republic Records (UMG) as their highest priority new artist. They wanted her so bad, they agreed to wait 3 years until she graduates HS this spring, when her debut album will be released & she can begin a Global promotion & concert tour. Welcome to the magical world of Angelina's music. It's a guarantied emotional ride! Liked & subed for more Angelina reactions.

[@dojoswitzer]

Angelina Jordan, Inc is a current label. Angelina has released her most recent videos with her own label.

[@OleOlson121]

@@dojoswitzer Her Album 'It's Magic" and a collection of Christmas songs available on ITunes and Spotify and well worth purchasing. I have them all. Can't wait to add her new album hopefully this spring perhaps after she graduates from High School at that time.

[@ronraskind]

Great reaction. You now have to go back in time to when she was 9 years old in the studio singing I Put a Spell on You, the black and white video. Strap in with your seatbelt for the greatest vocal performance ever by a 9-year-old! Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 of 106 Angelina chronological KZbin performances with five originals. m.kzbin.info/aero/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO Here is a more comprehensive playlist of 180 videos including tiktok and Instagram. kzbin.info/aero/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love. kzbin.info Please remember to include in your description the artist Official Channel as well as the original video, if you have not already done so.

I always enjoy listening to reactions for the first time that someone listens to Angelina Jordan. If you react to more of Angelina's music, I think the tendency is to expect something wonderful each time you listen to her but let me assure you that she will still surprise you nearly every time

[@andyschnell58]

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 KZbin. 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. 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 KZbin 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 KZbin 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 “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 KZbin. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On KZbin, 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. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.

A very nice first reaction! 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. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered 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!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 16 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out next year. She recently 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. 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 shoeless homeless 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. 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!

What was unfortunately not to be seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣 💯 *AJ* 💯 👣 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday.

Welcome to the wonderful world of The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. A world she will draw you into with the most powerful, soulful, reinterpretation of the biggest classics in Music History and a world you will not want to leave. Breathing new life into them and reintroducing them to whole new generations. Easily the most accomplished child prodigy about to turn 17 yrs old on January 10th. She has been singing since she was a year and a 1/2. She is a Jazz singer by nature but she can sing anything has sung most genres and some of the most Iconic and historic artists with no fear. You get not only an introduction to Angelina but take another look and you will see her family and her biggest fans highlighted in the front row. Left to right they are her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother and mentor Mery Zamani a child prodigy of her own from Iran who married her Japanese Grandfather not present here. Angelina is Norwegian by birth but multicultural speaking not only english her third language, but Norwegian, Farci, Japanese, german, and perhaps more. After winning Norway's Got Talent she was designated a National Treasure by the leadership and Norwegian population. Take note her sister's apprehension with crossed fingers as the performance starts. Later her mother is seen wiping tears from her eyes, and again crossing her fingers as the judges began giving their remarks. Her apprehension were quickly relieved and her family erupted in adulation and pure joy when Heidi Klum gave her the golden buzzer. Well deserved. A very proud & supportive family indeed. 👣

Hi Phillip, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope you continue on your journey because there is a lot to discover, she is the best singer in the world (my opinion) but you will find out for yourself and believe me you become just as addicted to her voice as all other fans (angels), she is also called the barefoot angel with 1000 voices, why she always performs barefoot is another story, she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also transport many emotions and not only does it have around 170 covers but also 5 originals which are all amazing and legendary even now and there is a lot to tell, i look forward to more reactions and have subscribed to you now, greetings from germany

Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! Your music world just got an upgrade courtesy of the incomparable Angelina Jordan! She 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 (160+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you figure out why she performs barefoot! 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!

Lovely reaction. You've got over 180 covers and 5 originals to choose from, so there's a journey ahead for you. I've given you the links for Angelina's performances for Norway's Got Talent 2014 (more backstory in the following comment). Of the 4 NGT performances, only NGT 1 and the final, NGT 4, have English subtitles or closed captions. I recommend playing all of NGT 1, where she sang Billie Holiday's arrangement of "Gloomy Sunday." For NGT 4, "Summertime," Angelina performed in the style of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. This final video has 4 segments. The first is a spotlight on Angelina. I recommend watching this because you get to hear Angelina talking about herself. She's so young that her legs can only stick straight out as she sits and speaks to us. The second segment is the actual final performance. The third segment has the judges sharing their experiences and the feelings she's generated in them throughout the 2014 season. I highly recommend listening to these, as their words were quite powerful as well as prophetic. You just don't hear judges on any other Got Talent speak with this level of engagement. The fourth segment contains the naming of the 3 highest performing artist(s) being named. This follows with Angelina being named the victor. This last segment lasts for a little over 5 minutes, so I've seen some include and others not. NGT 1 - "GLOOMY SUNDAY" (pre/post performance English subtitles) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo NGT 2 - "I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU" (sung in acapella) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gonOn3-QedSFjLM (How does she maintain pitch and tone without any backing track?) NGT 3 - "BANG BANG" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYSogGZ_gruneas NGT 4 - "SUMMERTIME" (spotlights Angelina, pre/post performance, winning NGT, and has English CC) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-XnHSlm5acqZI

Angelina Jordan is the "Ally Pally" of music

[@zeljkoguber]

Some facts about Angelina. First, her family, Her maternal grandmother (Mary) is Iranian (Angelina speaks Farsi). Soon you will ask why she sings barefoot - here she gives an answer kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo). Her maternal grandfather is Japanese. Angelina's mother and uncle grew up in Japan. (people claim that Angelina speaks a little Japanese). There is a video of her singing a song in Japanese (kzbin.info/www/bejne/moWTfWt_iMx4brM) at a concert in Japan. The Wild Music channel reacting to her Japanese song praised her pronunciation. So, by now she already speaks at least 3 languages (Norwegian, English, and Farsi. She had countless concerts in Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, England, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Brazil, and the North Pole. (So much I found out - probably there are more) In Seoul she opened the concert for Norah Jones, she performed for Norway Prime Minister royalties, President of US, on Quincy Jones's birthday concert, and appeared in many TV shows. Also at age 9, she published a children's book. She appeared in some Netflix production kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIKZdnWFmriFjc0. Despite all this, she still behaves like a simple girl rather than a star. More than anything else I am impressed with her composure, (see Summertime kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ_Td6Z5g7CtfMk her final appearance on Norway got Talent age 8). Probably you want to check her very first (good) recording cover of "I who have nothing" at age 6 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJu0i354pbuUm9U to me she already sounds like an adult singer. (prior to this there were at least 2 other recordings in the same studio, Rolling in the Deep and Hurt but she sounded like a child). I enjoyed in this recording seeing her excitement (she is usually cool as a cucumber). This month she is going to be 17. By now she has around 170 covers and 5 originals.

[@Christian-DH]

Queen tweeted their congratulations to her. The band subsequently gave her the rights to her version of their song. There is no age requirement, but it's very unlikely that young singers have the sheer talent to do well on these shows. Angelina made it to the finals, but she didn't proceed into the final rounds. She was dropped from the show when she refused to sign a contract with AGT-TC, which would have put her under one of their affiated record labels. Angelina even turned down Disney. She did, however, sign with Republic Records at 14. Republic gave her compete artistic control as well as control over the timing of her releases. She said that she signed with Republic as they shared her vision of her music. Angelina will turn 17 on 10 January 2023 and graduate from high school in the spring of this year. She will then enter her full-time music career at this point. - Who is Angelina Jordan - Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who's arranged over 180 covers and 5 originals, all since the age of 7. Angelina began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear. At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more. Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood. That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old. Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney. At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make. Angelina is now 16 and lives in LA. She turns 17 on January 10, 2023, and will graduate from high school after the spring semester. From then on, she will embark on her full-time professional career. She's been working closely with Republic on her first album under their label. It's likely that it will drop shortly after her graduation. There's something that you will immediately pick up on when watching Angelina's performances. She never performs with shoes on. - The Barefoot Princess - Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz," amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at age 6, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them. Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true you, have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.

Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me.

I'm not sure if anyone else has said this, but I can almost guarantee you that she was not crying because this was a "such a big deal" for her (that just "doesn't track" with the way she comes off in other interviews). I think what happened was, they got her to talk about her late grandfather, who was the inspiration (so to speak) for this arrangement of the song, and then switched to asking her about being on the show. Then they edited it to look like that's why she was crying. That's what I think happened. Regarding the connection of the song to the grandfather, Angelina described the (at the time, unidentified) song she was going to sing in this way: "It's about… the fear in your life… about the fears that you're going to lose somebody… It always reminds me [of] my grandpa who passed away about a year and a half ago." As it turns out, at the time this was recorded, another grandfather was battling an aggressive cancer that would take his life within a month. So, Angelina had plenty to be emotional about without worrying about how well she would do in the competition.

Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason...👑 🗣🎙

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

What's the reason if you don't mind me asking..thanks for watching

[@kevingood4644]

@@PhiliminizzyReactshen travelling in Iran aged 6 with her grandmother Mery Zamani, she happened upon a shoeless young girl weighing folk on a set of weighing scales to get money for her younger siblings that she was responsible for..others will give you more detail about their conversation but Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she was older and the girl said she wanted to become a doctor..Angelina said she should never give up on her dreams no matter what..Angelina said she wanted to sing for the world and the girl said she would pray every day for her dream to come true..as she left Angelina gave the girl her favourite green boots and later vowed always to perform barefoot to remind herself of those less fortunate than her..Angelina, aged 8, published a book about her their meeting called Mellom To Hjerte (Between Two Hearts) and become the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has raised many millions for various climate change charities and after winning Norways Got Talent aged 7, she gave most of her winnings away to a children’s hospice I believe..when you buy merchandise form her site, she donates a percentage towards providing meals for the homeless in LA which she distributes herself without fanfare..please understand Angelina is an enlightened special person. 10:33

I don't know who is responsible for the video's title but, before you continue, you should be aware that the girl's name is AngelINA Jordan. I know I'm being picky but this kind of thing keeps happening on reactor videos and is rapidly becoming a major pet peeve of mine. Angelina is the most exciting vocalist on the horizon and deserves to be properly identified 😎

The spelling correction will help fans of Angelina find your reactions.

[@rickpallas2001]

Great reaction! Can't wait to see you react to her other performances.

[@looneygardener]

I love her Summertime at 8 years old. Insanity.

[@lisayoung4987]

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction and Andy says it best! However you go down the Rabbit Hole, enjoy the journey, not one like it, not even close. She will go down as the Greatest Jazz singer of all time, if not the Greatest all around. Listen closely when she covers a song, you will slightly hear the voice of the Artist she is covering, male or female. Good reason she is called the Singing Angel of a 1,000 Voices. Instead of adapting the song to fit their voices as 95% +, do, she adapts her voice to the song, God Bless!

[@tomrogers1305]

Not sure why people assume, because she touches her face, tht she is crying at the interview in the beginning. She is not crying.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

Seriously? 🤔 Have you not heard about Angelina Jordan Astar. There is 3 important persons in the music industry now and it's Dimash (Kazakhstan) and Angelina Jordan Astar (Norway 🇳🇴) and Norwegian Aurora Aksnes. 🇳🇴 After listening to this song, you must start from the beginning when she was 7 and won NGT. Especially "I Put a spell on you" when she's only 9 years old singing in her studio and sounds like she's a 50 year old jazz singer who drink whisky and smoke sigars. It has over 10 million wiews by now. She has birthday January 10, 2023, being 17 years now in a few days. She is also a very tall girl. 7,2. She is very famous for her runs. And also covers in a new MV from 2022, Witney Houston "I have nothing". And the beautiful special cover of Elvis Presley's "SUSPICIOUS MIND" a tribute to Elvis and Pricilla. Everything Angelina do covers of, she tear apart and makes it her own song. She's an empat and likes to help people in need and have donated a lot of money to charity. The doors was wide open long before AGT and Simon. She's been worldwide famous since she was a child. Did I mention that she is a prodigy. Speaks several languages and plays several instruments. Love from Norway 🇳🇴

Of couse she is not from Norway she is not of this earth.

[@dojoswitzer]

Angelina originally descended upon Norway.

[@PelloMtnez]

🤣. sooooo true.

[@pamjl72]

She originally won norways got talent at age 7

[@ClandOp]

GREAT reaction -- one of the best first reactions to AJ I've heard in a long time. I completely agree with your reference to Aurora -- she and AJ are two of the best female vocalists (and live performers) on the planet. It must be something in the Norwegian water . . . . Next up, check out AJ at 8 years old singing "Summertime": kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-XnHSlm5acqZI.
