RAPPER FIRST REACTION TO - Angelina Jordan - Singing in Japanese

[@GabiSRealist]

The journey getting more and more interesting 🙏❤️ What is next? ⬇️ Also for anyone interested all the link are in the description 🙏

[@nancydavis2590]

She is a wonderful young woman. Talent beyond belief.

[@nancydavis2590]

She knows norweigan Japenese and American is her 3rd language and recently has sang in Spanish.

[@beachbumseaglass]

I'm pretty sure she speaks 9 languages now. A genius goddess.

[@cathymckee1255]

Angelina sang this song in Japanese for respect to a famous female singer 🧡

[@beachbumseaglass]

There is no one on the planet like Angelina. Complete goddess. 😍🔥🦶🦶😇

[@victorsaume2917]

I have heard Angelina singing in norwegian, in english, in spanish and now in japanese and is always the same: Beautiful. Something else, I understand that one of her grandfathers is japanese: Her art goes beyond any language barrier: She is my favorite singer ever, and I am 68 years old and a music lover, meaning that I have heard thosusands of singer, many of them super stars, but Angelina has the "it" factor. She is unique, God bless her.

[@lindaali6703]

And her grandmother, Mery, is Iranian. She was in Iran when she gave that girl her shoes. And her song " Million Miles" is about her Japanese grandfather.

[@dianedove1000]

There must be a better video of this song because I’ve watched it before, and the quality was much better. Japanese is one of the five languages she speaks. Her grandfather was Japanese, and her mother lived there for some time. Regardless, the last time I listened to this I started crying because it was such a beautiful song, and Angelina was able to convey the emotions in it even though I didn’t understand one word of what she was singing! Who else can do that?

[@RobertDeMartin]

Angelina is part Norwegian, Swedish, Iranian and Japanese. God worked overtime to create our beautiful and loving child so she could spread the love in her heart to all the people of the world. The song she sang is a beloved song adored by the Japanese people. I'm sure they were as shocked as you when they listened to her. This location she was singing at was in Japan.

[@runejenssen5110]

Angelina was between elleven and twelve years old when she performed and sing in japanese..very amazing of her

[@kristena9285]

Yes, she was eleven.

[@ronraskind]

Great comments and support as always. You're always honest and positive which is all we can expect from a reactor. And the more you react the more we get to know you! I'm looking forward to having your friends with you again to see their surprise. Peace.

[@carolynhess3812]

She speaks several languages. She's amazing.

[@andrewchacone9497]

Angelina's grandparents are multi-culture. Her Grandfather is Japanese, her Grandmother Iranian, and Her father is Swedish. Angelina was born in Oslo, Norway. Nationality Norwegian she speaks Norwegian, English, Japanese, Farsi/Persian. She is a remarkable and talented young lady with a bright future ahead of her.

[@christophersmith2793]

Angelina’s mother’s father was Japanese and her grandma is Iranian, Angelina speaks Japanese, Iranian and several languages, and plays guitar flute piano and violin, Angelina is multi talented in every way! Great reaction thanks 🙏

[@alberttenfoot]

As I understand it, both Sara (Angelina's mother) and Michael (Angelina Uncle/Manager) were born in Iran of an Iranian father. When Mery left Iran to go to Japan, she took the two children with her. If you know differently, please post a verifiable source.

[@christredwell5137]

Hi Gabi Her Grandfather was Japanese before he died when Angelina was I think 12 and its quite Normal for Her to learn the Language and Also Persian from her Grand Mother and where the No Shoes on her feet from 6 years old while visiting. And She is A natural Talent . Chris Tredwell Birmingham Uk

[@leechap3]

Aside from her Japanese heritage, Angelina has a unique ability to emulate sounds perfectly.

[@ridgemanron]

Her grandfather was Japanese and when he passed she wrote 'Million Miles' as a tribute to him. Her mom and (manager) uncle were raised in Japan and do speak the language fluently.

[@lindathompson3982]

Totally appreciate you & your honest reactions.🤩

[@GabiSRealist]

Thank you 🎉

[@bruceclark133]

She is multi lingual ...she just did a tik tok in spanish.....Angelina uncle Mike is half Japanese, Grandma Mery married a Japanese, Angelina's Grandpa who Angelina was very close to. Also the inspiration for her song Million Miles......super reaction....

[@nfpnone8248]

If I’m not mistaken, her grandfather helped her understand the song and get the enunciation right.

[@zeljkoguber]

Her grandfather was Japanese, I take it as almost certain that she was singing this song with him, and I would not be surprised if he was in the audience. Also supposedly her mother and uncle have grown up in Japan and speak Japanese. Some comments mentioned that she speaks little Japanese. I am sure you will enjoy this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ7Un5ykhpeaqrM. It is a reaction to a video where some famous Japanese actor who is Angelina Jordan fan is surprised on live TV with a video message from Angelina. (I cannot send you the link to the original video because the original video is deleted - so you get a link to the reaction). By the way, she was 10 or 11 years old in this video.

[@nanp544]

You may not know that Angelina is part Japanese. Her mother’s father is Japanese. Apparently her Grandfather told her not to be sorry for being who she is because Angelina knows her family has given up a lot to support her.💞

[@GabiSRealist]

Ohhh happy to know that

[@davidcrandall3643]

@@zeuso.1947 If that's the case, someone should correct her Wikipedia article, since it says "Her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar, is the daughter of Iranian artist and poet Mery Zamani and a Japanese father."

[@peterhormell1511]

David, I am not certain, but I believe Wikipedia is correct. Sarah’s mother Mery Zamani IS “Persian” (Iranian). And yes, Sara’s father IS Japanese. But I’m pretty sure that Mery and her husband were living IN Norway when Sarah and Michael were born. That would make Sarah and Michael both Norwegians whose parents were foreign nationals living in Norway when they were born. I hope this makes sense, and I hope a Norwegian “Angel” can confirm this. 😬😉 Greetings from Vermont, USA.

[@davidcrandall3643]

@@peterhormell1511 It would interesting to know if Angelina really is a quarter Japanese genetically, since I read an article a few years ago which claimed that the typical Japanese brain is better able to process the sounds of emotion than the average non-Japanese brain. I don't know whether this is true, but if it is, it may explain why Angelina has been able to put complex emotions into her singing even at a very young age.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

@@davidcrandall3643 I don’t think there’s any debate about her maternal grandfather being Japanese and her maternal grandmother being Iranian. That’s settled science. Her grandmother lived in japan for several years before moving to Norway.

[@coyotej4895]

She is a real treasure from God. Every time I watch this young lady, she brings a tear to my eye.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Gabi, first you have to know: when the first video of Angelina in NDT 2014 went viral, it was in Asia, especialy in Japan. If you look again at "Gloomy Sunday", look at her "fans". Those are her relatives from Japan cheering her on. Not only did she learn the language from grandfather, but mom and uncle were teaching Japanese for many years. I bet, some of the conversations at her grandparents home were held in Japanese and Farsi/Persian. When older, her classmates told on TV, that she is very good at English. Gabi, stay safe, sound and happy as always. Elmar from Germany.

[@GabiSRealist]

Ooooo thank you 🙏

[@bruceclark133]

good job...

[@DonaldLancon]

Exactly where do you think her relatives from Japan can be seen in the "Gloomy Sunday" video?

[@elmarwinkler6335]

[@DonaldLancon]

@@elmarwinkler6335 Some of the people holding placards (in both videos) are related to her, sure (and some are not), but I don't think anyone (who doesn't know her personally) knows which of them, if any, are from Japan.

[@markkleckner3060]

Great reaction, she has sang now 4 languages, "La Vie En Rose", French, "Amia Amor", Spanish, this song and of course a lot of English. Curious if anyone knows if she sung a song in Norwegian? God Bless!

[@robertsilva631]

I believe that Angelina was 11 years old in this performance.

[@garysen]

Angelina speaks directly to our inner selves. Soul is her prime language ❣️

[@robertanderson6494]

She is an amazing person! Her voice gives her a platform to display how kind, caring, empathetic, and loving human beings are capable of.

I have heard this before and knew about her grandfather. Heard her Japanese is perfect though I don’t speak it myself. Her English is better than mine. Lol. Loved this and thank you for this reaction. She is amazing and need new Angelina words to describe her. Thanks

Angelina is 1/4 Japanese. Her mother's father was Japanese and her grandmother is Iranian, so her mother is half Japanese and half Iranian. Angelina's Father is Swedish. Angelina speaks or is at least partially fluent in Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese, English and Farcie.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Sir, if I undertood correctly, her mom Sara and her uncle Michael taught Japanese, to earn money for their families. I think Angelina speaks that language fluently. I might be wrong, but that info I got from different commenters. You, dear sir, stay safe and sound. Elmar from Germany.

[@kerrythomas6220]

On top of everything else, you notice she’s reading the lyrics as she sings the song. Just amazing. Her IQ must be off the charts!

[@elmarwinkler6335]

@@kerrythomas6220 At the Oslo music academy a teacher told in an interview: " the first thing we teach, is to deconstruct a song, analize it, and put it back together." AJ can do this with lightning speed. She does this while looking at the screen of her iMac. But to be fair, as Ivan Mendez told, they find a song they like, Ivan gets about 20 minutes for practicing and AJ deconstructs, etc., than they do it together in 1 take, Ivan laughed and said, in one case they had to do it 5 times, because he was so distracted by her singing, he lost track. Kerry, have you read her book? one her onlinshop you can download it in English. You will understand, after watching her interview with Ann Lindmo, how far her mind is developed. I needed 3 times to understand, what she wrote, and I will have to read it many times over again. And remember, The shoeless girl, was persian. Angelina talked to her in her language fluently. I am VERY sure, she speaks, Norwegian, Swedish, English, Farsi and Japanese fluently. German she learned at school and at 8 she could speak a few sentences in German. French, she also learned at school and I am pretty sure she now speaks it as well as Spanish. Kerry stay safe and sound, Elmar from Germany.

[@robertsilva631]

The song - Like A River Flow is a very important song in Japanese music - from what I understand it is an honor to sing this song and it was said that Angelina did an excellent job - for reference - here is the original artist of this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXuzfKKmYsmMgJo

[@stevenhambek846]

You can see, AJ is incredible in Japanese ON A CELL PHONE RECORDING! She gives me an Elvis vibe because Elvis sang in a movie while in Hawaii back in the 60s. Did he sing this song in the movie? I’m thinking he did. Elvis ain’t got nothing on AJ . He’s the king AJ is the Queen of hearts 🥰

[@ulyseslabajo]

What I know and my info might be wrong is that her uncle Mike and mother Sara are Mery's(her grandma) children to an Iranian father before Mery migrated to Japan with her children where she married the man who we knew as Angelina's Japanese grandfather. Her mother and uncle Mike grew up to Japan that's why they speak fluent Japanese. As for Angelina for sure she's already familiar with Japanese language but not on a speaking term as she used a translator to one radio interview when she was in Japan some years ago. After this performance some Japanese said that Angelina although she's reading lyrics here has a perfect japanese diction. She sounded more like a native singing the song.
