I'm sure You understand the feet thing by now. How much do we adore Angelina? I think most feel fortunate to be living in a time when Angelina graces us with her presence. Enjoyed your reaction

Sorry all my reactions I done of her so far I hadnt seen her bearfoot in them so I didnt realise till now. Either way I appreciate it and hope you can stick around 😊

Amy's second chance through Angelina, as well as many others from the past. They have smiled down on this lovely child.

[@berniescott4014]

The bare feet are very important,she wrote a book that was released when she was 9 years old,titled Between two Hearts.Angelina met a barefoot child orphan that was weighing people to get money to support her and her siblings.Angelina gave her the shoes off of her feet,Angelina was 6 years old and always performs barefooted since.

2:26.That's as much as I could take. Much love to Angelina and her wonderful family!! Looking forward to her first album, and all of the great new music yet to come from this amazing young lady!!

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Thanks for trying to watch anyway. Appreciate it

[@terrymajor3450]

She doesn’t wear shoes in her performances until all of the kids in the world have shoes.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Thats fair enough!

[@hu._-]

AJ is sometimes called the girl of a thousand voices, her vocal style changes, sometimes dramatically, to best convey the message and style of what she is singing. She has around 200 videos covering the greatest songs by the greatest artists across many genres, many decades, and often is considered to have outperformed the original artist. She has helped raise 10s of millions of dollars for charity, often those associated with children. When she won Norway's Got Talent (she was 8, having first auditioned while still 7), she donated her 1/2 million in earnings to childrens' charity.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Oh wow she donated her whole purse to charity? Thats so nice of her!

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

In Angelina's inspiration and musical research, Amy has a very special place, also for this reason it's a bond that listening to her, often comes spontaneously to mind, due to the splendid jazz-soul connotation of both. Angelina sang several songs by Amy and often as she did here, she had to modify the lyrics herself, due to the particularly raw language of Amy's, nevertheless her versions of her songs are always extremely respectful and balanced, thanks to the wonderful passion with which she sings them. 💛 🧡 ❤

[@rogergraetzer5992]

AJ is for me the best female singer of this world she is the Barefoot Princess and Queen of Jazz I love❤her Voice so much.She has 180 Covers and 5 Orginal Songs. Most of which she sings better than the performers‘ original songs.She is amazing !!! Love❤from Switzerland 😊

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Her voice is truly amazing 😁

[@adairmartin]

The fact that Angelina is barefoot is proof this is a “Performance”, and not, as many think, a rehearsal. Angelina wears shoes when she rehearses, but never for a performance. When she was 6 traveling in the Middle East, she met a homeless girl on the streets. They struck up a conversation. Angelina speaks Farsi. And Angelina gave the poor girl her shoes. She vowed then to always perform barefoot until all the children of the world have shoes. Mind you, this was BEFORE Angelina appeared on Norway’s Got Talent! She has remained true to her word.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Yes I been reading in my comment section haah thanks for taking the time to explain and leave a comment I really appreciate it 😊

[@OleOlson121]

Angelina's Mother Sarah Astar was not happy with the lyrics of the song as being too adult. She insisted Angelina change them if she wanted to do the song. Angelina finished writing them in the car on the way to the recording. My understanding is that they fit so well that KORK had no need to change the arrangement and that to me is astonishing! Angelina's roots are in Jazz. She been listening and studying these icons from the past century since she was 2-3 yrs old on you-Tube. Also Angelina arranges, at least in part, if not in total, total control of all her performances. She has since she was 7-8 yrs old. She knows what she wants and gets exactly what she wants out of the artists and musicians she works with, many of them who are some of the most accomplished in the industry. ♥👣 Some have referred to this as a rehearsal and I will be happy to be corrected by someone who Knows but I suspect this was no rehearsal but a scheduled performance with recording this performance being the purpose. KORK is the Norwegian National Orchestra known as the Norwegian Radio Orchestra & I don't believe I have heard this performed with this arrangement with these particular members in a live event. She did do a live performance of "Summertime" with the full Orchestra. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have recently learned that KORK actually contacted Angelina for the purpose of this recording plus several others. I'm guessing National Orchestra requested her because of her talent and because she was declared by Norway as a National Treasure shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent. I believe this booking was arranged for the purpose of this recording. It's on her Album as well as others for a project KORK was doing. Thus the scheduled time slot. I'm guessing the arrangement was made ahead of time and each party was working with this. Angelina was informed the night before I believe and had the night and next day before the performance to make the changes. I believe she worked on it that evening but didn't quite finish it. She visited an amusement park on the day of and before the performance. I've watched video of her in an interview at the park with a friend. It looks like they had the whole park to themselves. She finished the lyrics on the ride to the recording session. The remarkable thing is that the lyrics fit so well they had no need to change the arrangement. I believe this performance was the second take. Again I will be happy to be corrected on this if I am wrong but regardless this performance was typical Angelina Magic. Smooth Velvet Perfection! ♥👣If there is a performance and a recording of it I'd love to see & or hear it. I know she did it live a time or two but not with these members and this arrangement. ♥👣

Angelina is an amazing young lady with a beautiful voice ! You may want to check out another amazing young lady doing a cover of Back to Black ! You have to take it to the streets to enjoy this young lady , she performs live on the street in front of an audience ! Check out from 3 years ago a young lady and her guitar in her yankee cap, you’ll find this video on her KZbin channel. The young lady is Allie Sherlock, in this video she is 14 years old, take a look and enjoy ! 🎤🎸🎼

No need to thank me! Thank you for watching and have a good one 😁😎

[@ronraskind]

Many thanks for providing a genuine and informative reaction. Please remember to leave links in your description for BOTH original video and official channels if you have not already done so. In addition, it is important to educate viewers HOW to best show the artist love, which includes WATCHING every video on Angelina's Official and Cover Channels in their entirety, LIKING, SHARING, COMMENTING, and SUBSCRIBING to Angelina's Channels. Doing so will boost her analytics, and therefore KZbin will recommend her videos to countless more people. Of course suggest viewers show the same love for your channel! Everyone please show love to both artist and reactor alike! Peace and Love.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

I appreciate you no need to thank me 😊 I always link original video in description so people can go their if they havent yet. Thanks a lot! Much love! ❤️

[@ronraskind]

@@JayWyattOfficial I am certain that Angelina and other artists appreciate you providing the link in your description. But if you reread my comment, it is about much more than a link. Viewers need to be encouraged by you to go to the description and interact with those links. The vast majority do not go to the description on their own. Also, you would normally have some valuable information of your own in the description and by directing them there they will find yours as well. The idea is to help the artist as they deserve, but also to help your own channel which will grow with subscriptions as you create fan loyalty from helping their favorite artists.

[@andyschnell58]

Reactors who spend a few extra seconds educating viewers how to support BOTH the artist and their own channel, in my opinion get many more subscribers. Also reactors who learn about the artist from the comments do far better. Shall see if Jay learns much about a once in a lifetime musical artist.

Why Angelina always performs barefoot♥👣 For those who do not know. 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. 'Between Two Hearts' Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV "Lindmo" 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo ♥👣👸🏻🎷

Thats such a heartwarming story thanks for explaining that more detailed. Appreciate it. Have a good one 😊

Thanks, nice reaction Jay...It's just a rehearsal.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Thanks heaps mate! And yeah I figured. Take care 😊

[@susancrane7518]

The feet are famous. That's because we know they must have transported her from the Plane Of The Immortals to the place where we mere humans live. We pay hommage to those feet as clearly they have gifted us with sounds we could otherwise never have experienced. All of Angelina's fan recognize this, as certainly did the cameraman.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Fair enough. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting, means a lot :)

[@dojoswitzer]

Not every reactor understands what they see and hear with Angelina, but I think you do. And I think Angelina’s fans could help you get closer to that coveted 10%, but like some other reactors I admire, I think you would need to make some minor adjustments when reacting to her. “Including ‘customer’ feedback in your product is a method for increasing sales.” It IS your channel, and it is your choice.

[@itschmitt]

Hi Jay, thanks a billion for this reaction - it's a while since you reacted first to Angelina, so you might forget the story, I gave you a link to an interview where she tells us, why she performs always barefoot (or you may be didn't read my entire comment? ;-))) So for you and all the spectators of this reaction who wants to hear it from Angelina herself, here are the links again in the citation from my first comment: "... And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d16yfH-pobRqars and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo ..." Stay well and healthy and CU in your next AJ reaction ...there are so many videos with Angelina worth to react to! 😎

[@JayWyattOfficial]

No need to thank me ! Thank you for watching and taking time out of your day to comment. Have a good one 😊😁

Angelina performs barefoot to remind her of all the less fortunate children in the world. When Angelina was 6 and traveling in the Middle East when her family, Angelina saw a young girl about her age weighing people for money in the streets. The girl was barefoot and her feet were scarred and it was cold. Angelina felt compelled to talk to the girl. Angelina struck up a conversation and Angelina took the shoes off of her feet and gave them to the girl. Angelina published a book about the experience when she was 9 and is the youngest published author in Norway.

Sorry I got a potty mouth I know.

[@nikosmastrakoulis3377]

Seriously, since you've been reacting to Angelina for quite some time, you should know by now why her singing barefoot is important. It's not the cameraman the one who needs to get his shit together. Other than that, nice reaction.

The shots of her feet tell a story of many words. It also remind us of some thing very important. You also have some questions. I have one question....why are you talking over the artist performance and don't stop.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Because Im reacting to the video... if you want to just her the performance check original but this is how I react. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

@JayWyattOfficial I know you react to the video.... but show respect to the artist, and you miss some times something that you also can react to because it's a reaction video. I didn't say you must not react. I asked you to stop the video when you reacted.

@@JayWyattOfficial you missed my point. But that's okay .

[@dojoswitzer]

@@JayWyattOfficial I know this is your style. Your words are said when they come to mind. You may feel that stopping the video breaks your rhythm. However, Angelina sings every note and inflection to perfection, and I think your Angelina fan viewers don’t want you to miss a moment. If you can’t pause the video, consider tapping the back arrow to skip back and hear again the part you over-spoke. Give it a try once.

[@shodanrich3317]

Hi Jay. Maybe, just maybe, if you aren't sure about something, like why AJ sings barefoot, and it obviously bothers you, rather than praddle on like a 4th grader a half a dozen times, read a few comments OR look her up in Wiki. 4 sentences in is your answer. Amazing how many so called "You Tube" reactors dont know how to use the internet. Jeeze. Have a great day.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Relax guys it never bothered me you can clearly see I was joking and being sarcastic. Was a joke. Its not that serious. Anyway, take care and have a good one guys appreciate watching none the less.

It would be really nice if you didn't talk so much during the video. It would be better if you pause the video to make your reactions!

Sorry thats just how I react. Hope you can enjoy anyway. Take care.

[@alberttenfoot]

Hi! I am rather disappointed that such a young person suffers from memory loss. It has been explained why Angelina's never wears shoes when she is singing in public, as the reason was given in your reaction on 6 Dec 2020 to her performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. Go back and refresh your memory. It will save you embarrassing yourself.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

I never noticed. Jusr because some one forgets or doesnt notice something and not only that I last reacted to her like 1 year ago doesnt mean I got memory loss. I have more important things to remember in my life than AJ not wearing shoes in a performance. Also it was a joke relax mate it isnt that serious.

[@alberttenfoot]

@@JayWyattOfficial I understand what you are saying, but surely as a mater of courtesy to the artist you are featuring, you should remember significant facts about them.

[@JayWyattOfficial]

@@alberttenfoot relax. It aint that deep.

[@leechap3]

@@JayWyattOfficial It is actually very deep. The act of selflessness she demonstrates with the bare feet thing is something hard for the average person to even fathom. I mean who does that? Did Ghandi, Buddha, even Jesus? And at the age of six???Angelina Jordan is regarded as a national treasure in her home country of Norway, as well as in the hearts and minds of her millions of loyal fans, myself included. So that might help to explain why her fans can get a little over-protective of her.

[@kevingood4644]

Before I press send I often ask myself “would Angelina approve of my comment”?

[@KieranSaighir]

This 'reactor' obviously has no respect for us. He says he's already reacted to other of Angelina's song, yet doesn't know why she is barefooted, only tells me he never even bothers to look at our comments (I'm sure people have mentioned the reason on each of his prior reviews). And in this he spends most of his comments mimicking the fact that she is barefooted. So many of these react seem to believe that they are more that they think. What ever happened to humble people?

[@JayWyattOfficial]

Mate it was a joke. I mention countless times in the video Im joking and gave my respect to AJ countless times too saying shes a great artist, has an amazing voice and is a great singer. But you gloss over that and want to be in your little own world and take it serious. Relax.

[@KieranSaighir]

@@JayWyattOfficial Hey Jake I get that you were mocking in fun. However, my point was, and you still haven't acknowledged, that there is a real reason she is barefoot and the reason why, which I don't know if you're aware of the reason or not.
