Saucey, she did it all herself, she said "music is like air for me, can´t live without it". I heard that myself.

[@roddiener]

She's a singer of music, not songs or lyrics or notes, she sings music...and it is beautiful

[@SauceyDad]

Perfectly said!!

[@omarsoliman2355]

MIND BLOWN!!!! She is outRAGEOUS!!!! The worlds greatest living singer, hands down. Wait until you see her other videos.

[@soledadmonticelli6091]

Please!!!! More!!! More!!! More of Angelina!!!!! Me suscribo para verte reaccionar a ella!!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!🧉🧉🧉🤗🤗🤗👌

[@stellasweden]

She was born to sing and she LOVE it! No one have ever pushed her!

[@barrycook867]

How Ms Jordan sings that last word is like she's whispering in tune. (ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING)

[@elmarwinkler6335]

What her parents did went right with Angelina. They decided, that she was mostly (only) doing concerts for charities and for families. She sang at 8 yo for the Nobel Peace Prize Recipients, because she had dreamt of it since age 3. PLEASE accept, that Angelina is a highly gifted (High IQ) child, she knew at age 3 what she wanted to do, and saw it through, she even sang for the Obamas. Me, I am following her since 2020 and was corrected many times.

[@robertwhite6248]

She LIVES to sing and perform. Very humble and very caring and true to her word,, best in the world !

[@leonardbellinger5223]

Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina sings in 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts)"Norway's youngest published author" a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. In her younger years before age 13, she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother and or her Grandmother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 160 covers, 6 originals and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this"rabbit hole" not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own is just unbelievable. Angelina writes her own music and produces it Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, and what is Life to name a few. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, and her father is from Sweeden The artist's grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather and her original cut Shield is about the people that protected her and watched over her during her performances and travels. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2020 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, and Save the world she's on her way, after school, to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.

[@isteinskjellerud3097]

It's so funny. Everyone says she's an "old soul", but usually the "I'm speechless" part does not come until you see Angelina's cover of "I Put A Spell On You"!😀Link :kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU

[@bengtovesandstrom4980]

When she was 9........

[@nikosmastrakoulis3377]

Which she arranged herself, both for voice and instruments. Apparently at 8, the year before that performance.

[@nunnaurbzznzzz1734]

I cannot wait to see your reaction to 9 year old Angelina singing I Put a Spell On You!!! She makes a change in the arrangement and passes it to the band leader. She has corrected full orchestras during a recording. Her sense of music has been developing since at least age 6. The Angelina rabbit hole is going to really blow your mind!!! Please so a reaction to this recommendation from 0istein!!!

[@lengould9262]

Agreed.

[@phillipscott7049]

I love her interpretations of modern music but she clearly has a Jazz and Blues influence so these songs are her forte. Is crazy a 16 year old taught me to appreciate Jazz and Blues at 52.

[@toddstacey6385]

DUDE...ANGELINA'S SOUL IS SINGING WITH HER...YOU KNOW WHAT SOUL IS...RIGHT?

[@McDevittMike]

Angelina doesn't do many interviews; and her responses are usually only a couple of words. She says everything she needs to say in her music. Her childhood has been well-protected while at the same time her family has given her every support. She has been the driving force in her career since she was 7. And she has never had vocal lessons, although she has studied music. She is just a genius. 😎

[@gebendeavors907]

Angelina’s manager from the beginning is her uncle Michael Astar. From article of Music Norway interview we learn that Michael was raised in Japan and music was always his passion. After his family moved to Norway, Michael became a hip-hop DJ. As a 16-year old he was a DJ at 21+ night clubs in Oslo, Norway, getting the gigs because he looked older and no one asked his age before being hired. After getting tired of being a DJ, Michael started a music management company in 2013, and 3 months later, with no clients yet, Angelina signed-up to try out for Norway’s Got Talent. Angelina’s first audition when 7-years old was a cover of Billie Holiday’s song “Gloomy Sunday” that went viral when it got uploaded to KZbin. Then Angelina won Norway’s Got Talent, had other viral KZbins, performed on Norway, US and other TV shows and her career started to take off. Eventually she had over 1 billion views of her performances on KZbin and Facebook before Angelina’s appearances on the American’s Got Talent - The Champions show. Her performances there further accelerated her career. At this point, Angelina asked her uncle Michael if it was possible for her to move to the US to pursue her music dreams. Michael says this was a tough call, and he asked himself questions like; how on earth are you going to pull this off? What about a VISA? What about finances? Are you willing to sell everything you have and own, and also get a loan to risk everything? Michael related that “These were questions I had to ask myself, several times a day. Then, I remembered, what did my mom do when she went to Japan? She didn’t even talk Japanese or knew anyone. She did it because she risked everything for a better future.” So, Michael flew alone to Los Angeles, studied and learned anything he could learn from the people he got to know during his time in the Industry. After gathering a bunch of people, he came back to Norway and started the process. He indicated that “A few months later, I told her, PACK YOUR BAGS! We are going next week to pursue your dream! All in baby. Her smile made it all worth the hassle.” “We stayed patient because the way this industry works is bizarre and you have to dodge bullets right and left to get anywhere. But would I do it again? Of course! Life without challenge is boring," Michael says. For Michael, a lot of his time involves talking with industry people, to see what’s happening out there. Having recently become a father and with COVID-19, time has become even busier and more crazy than usual. “There is a lot of stuff happening with Angelina, and it requires daily briefings with a lot of people.” America’s Got Talent had always been interested in bringing Angelina to the show, but with their normal contract, artists are being locked into a label, management, and other things for many years. Michael says that it did not matter if you get exposure or not, it was out of the question to give away that many rights. This kind of patience eventually paid off. Michael said that “Some time passed and they again contacted me, asking if she wanted to sing on their show. I convinced them to give me a contract where Angelina is free from any deal if she performs, she is great for their TV show and Angelina will get the exposure she needs to breakthrough, because I knew, the talent is one of the kind like no other, I just needed her to be seen and was on a daily hunt for how to get the right spot for her in the USA.” After, Angelina’s success on America’s Got Talent, she eventually signed with Republic Records in August 2020 where Angelina was told she was Republic’s highest priority new artist. Michael says the commitment with the right interest in mind has been one of the most important things when choosing a team and partners to be part of Angelina’s team. “You also need to choose someone with the right chemistry. These are the people you have to deal with on a daily basis, you have to have a good feeling and chemistry with the team you choose.” Although no specifics yet, Michael says that the plans for Angelina include going global. Advice from Michael: “Go with your instinct, it never fails, crazy how nature does that. Always be humble, you get way further being a nice person, people tend to be nice back. Always read the contract. Find a good lawyer (It’s super hard to find the good one, but with dedication, you can). Don’t rely on people, you want something done? Do it yourself. If you are good at something, never do it for free (Quote from the Joker).”

[@devon7008]

Don't worry about Angelina ever being forced to do anything. She has said many times, that singing is like breathing for her, and all she has ever wanted to do is sing for the world... Have a look at her Instagram and TikTok .... she will sing every chance she gets....🙂👍

[@poolhallshark]

MAN! I'm totally enjoying your reactions to Angelina. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you're speeding head over heels into the rabbit hole. There was no doubt after the first reaction tbh...LOL NOW LISTEN..... I have the perfect suggestion for you, one that quite a few reactors have done before you. Because, you see : - On Valentine's Day, at age 10, Angelina dropped a rendition of "My Funny Valentine", the 1937 jazz standard that has been covered and included in 1300+ albums through the years, and that performance was absolutely beautiful! But here's the thing : If you want to listen to what Angelina sounds like as of RIGHT NOW, she dropped a new rendition of that song on Valentine's Day this year. - The two performances are down to the date 6 years apart, and serve as a perfect example of her unbelievable development as a singer and a vocalist. I'll give you the link to both of them here : "My Funny Valentine", Angelina, age 10 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYuVZntqlpeahqs "My Funny Valentine", Angelina, age 16 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4WqfZWpfKl0f5I (Bonus - Here you also get to see how incredibly beautiful she has become. She's got it all.) Consider showing her the respect of doing a double ?? You won't regret it, I PROMISE :-))))))) LOVE from Norway :-)

[@jefftofte9419]

Great reaction! From all we know of Angelina "She" is the driving force, and has been since at least the age of 5 when she told her mother she was ready to audition for NGT, (had to wait till she was 7 due to her mom requiring her to wait). Her family is incredibly supportive, if anything they have consistently put the brakes on and insisted she finish school and have as normal a childhood as possible. Her mother could write a book on how to raise a child prodigy in the music industry the right way. It was even part of the deal with Republic Records that they will not promote her till after she finishes school (that's why she is still somewhat of a hidden talent). She arranges the songs herself, she is supremely confident and has never been nervous on stage, only excited to be singing, once on stage she does not want to leave (she has said this herself in several interviews). She is super intelligent as well, and on top of that she has a wonderful heart! She literally has it all! From what I have read, she is mostly self taught, (she even blurted out in an interview once "I taught myself") she did have vocal coaching, but they (wisely) did not attempt to mess with her voice, because it is so unique. So now, if you really want to lose your mind, check out "I Put A Spell On You" the black and white vid when she was 9 years old. It is a shocker and in my opinion, it's how the song was meant to be sung! Can't wait to see it with you!

[@clydeatrowbridge]

NGT had a age restriction of 7 years. however i saw a video of angelina and her mother in the living room and angelina told her mom that she was going to call simon...that 2 year wait must have been excruciating ...

[@dalesavoy8129]

Great information. Thanks. Glad to hear that she is the driving force and her parents are controlling outside influences.

[@markkleckner3060]

Fantastic reaction and Angelina is well protected by her family. After she won NGT, they turned down offers from all kinds of Record Labels, including Disney! Her mom lets her per sue her dreams, but limits when she is not in school. In fact her mom has been caught in several interviews saying she wants Angelina to have much of a normal childhood as possible. When she signed with Republic Records, Mother and Uncle (Manager) insisted Angelina has last say on anything released and not to promote her except on You Tube until she is 18 and has finished school. You need to check out her versions of "My Funny Valentine", at age 10, then released this year at age 16. Then go to in her 1st time in studio at age 6, "I Who Have Nothing", you will see this child enjoying herself. She also said in an interview, "I have to sing, it's like breathing, I have to do it". Enjoy your journey down her Rabbit Hole and God Bless!

[@linnf4313]

Angelina was amazing in the age of 6-7 year old. And she is stil amazing

[@adetresnaRoyana]

Absolutely beautiful beautiful Singing perfectly

[@rmcc42]

I have been a fan of Angelina since she was 7 years old; have heard everyone of her songs (160+ on KZbin) over 100 times. Only one person has ever pushed her, and that person has pushed her unbelievably hard! That person is Angelina herself!!! Her family has fought to hold her back, to keep her childhood as normal as possible, and to keep the sharks away from her! Having a normal childhood has been the most important thing in every choice they have made. They only agreed to finely let her sign with Republic Records after RR agreed to give her virtually total control over her song choices, and how she sings them, and agreed to not promote her till she finished school.

[@rickettelman2952]

She is loved all her work is hers hard work

[@ugomartinelli7436]

New Subscriber and fully understand where you are coming from. Angelina is the real deal and not one of these Disney manufactured singers relying on autotune and multivocal dubs. I am 60 and have been waiting all my life for a singer like Angelina that can connect straight to your soul. After becoming a Angelina fan no other singer can now impress me after hearing Angelina. Don't worry about Angelina's childhood, Angelina is fully in charge of her destiny and surrounded by loving supportive family and management. A icon in the making🥰🥰

[@stevenhambek846]

Yep

[@lengould9262]

Concur.

[@FlameCold258]

The reason they still take it fairly slowly is that she is only 16 years old - This in agreement with Republic Record, the family, and Angelina herself. She is now working on her record. Angelina has already sung in many countries, and all important people in the music industry know who she is. They only need to press the button when the time is right for the next step. No point in "burning out" a 16 year old jewel of a singer and I think many people forget how young she really is since she is so mature for her age! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on KZbin and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

There were no pressure from her family. Angelina was born to sing and breaths music. She wanted to sing for Simon from 3 yo. She wanted to take part in NGT but was to young. Watch her 4 performances on NGT when she was 7 and won when she was 8. Watch her performed in the studio, cover " I who have nothing "when she was 6 and how excited she was. Her second performance on NGT was " I'm a fool to want you" ACAPELLA.

[@frankphillips5660]

Your children are very fortunate to have such a caring "sauceydad". Your concern for Angelina and I'm sure any other child is warranted and shows your true compassion toward their well being. Rest assured that Angelina's family is extremely protective of her and in a couple of interviews when Angelina was 9 or 10 she stated that education and having as normal a childhood as possible is her main concern. Sara, Angelina's mother is seen shedding tears at Angelina's audition at 7 years old on Norway's Got Talent and was told that those wear tears of joy and she responded with "No, I know now that Angelina belongs to the world". Here is a video of all 4 performances condensed without the judges that happened over a 6 month period. This is the very early stages of her rise to stardom. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWPFiWRrqb55jM0 Thank you for a very genuine reaction!

[@stevebeck7704]

Yes Angelina was born to sing and NO she was not forced into it !! She has been the driving force of her career in music since the beginning !! Angelina - also known as The Barefoot Princess , The Queen of Jazz and The Angel with 1,000 voices first started singing at 1 1/2 years of age . Her Grandmother Mery Zamani introduced her to Jazz via you tube when she was only 3 years of age ! Her family is very supportive of her career , Her uncle Mike is her manager . They signed a record deal with Republic records in late 2020 and part of the deal is that they don't push or promote Angelina until she finishes school so she can have an normal as possible childhood!!! So you can see that you have nothing to worry over concerning this bonified child prodigy ! Angelina has quite an extensive catalogue of music ( over 165 covers and 5 originals to date ) . Angelina turned 16 on January 10 , 2022 and if you want to hear what she sounds like now check out her 2022 version of My Funny Valentine it will blow your mind !!

[@mariellecouture6059]

Congrats, you have just discovered the most accomplished child vocalist of all time, Angelina Jordan. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all-time favorite musical artist. 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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and has sung a song in Japanese. 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. Angelina plays the piano and guitar and also paints. 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. 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. A 9 years old, 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. 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 which would give Simon control over her career. 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. 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 has concerts scheduled in Norway on July 1, 7 and 10. 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.

Please do more Angelina Jordan reactions. She just released a cover of Elvis Presley's suspicious minds and it absolutely one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard ❤️

[@joanokeefe6316]

Angelina is well protected by her family which is why she is still at school and just putting out videos but holding back from getting on the world stage. Once you see all that is available on her you will realise she is not being pushed in anyway.

[@sedigives]

From the age of 6, it's all her & her family protected her better then anyone could have. School first and no inappropriate songs but that's not a problem because she loves Jazz. She is the driving force and is the youngest person in Norway to be published, her book at 9 tells the story of her not wearing shoes when performing. English is her 3rd. language Norwegian, Iranian, Japanese & English. Her Grandmother was a prodigy artist. You can't stop her! At 56 I have never been completely blown away like this and not just one you will never forget and almost don't believe, many! There is no one like this, she's so good you wonder if she's here for a reason? That good! or maybe they all sound this good on her planet because this has no name!

[@douglaspensack3499]

When Angelina was 6yo she was asked what she wanted to be in life, she said a singing superstar. She hasn't deviated from that. Her parents have protected her, but encouraged her musical interest. She wrote the song "Shield" when she was 11yo, thanking her family for protecting her. They still do. Her uncle is her manager.

[@edmac3718]

Watch out Saucey you standing in front of a rabbit hole 'maybe the best jazz singer in this time' calls Angelina Jordan. I follow her the last 3-4 years now. She is incredible, she writes books, she writes songs, she plays 3 or more instruments. In short she is really incredible talented and not only that she is a great person as well. My daily shot of music, day in day out.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Great second reaction with her astonishing version of the old song of EJ, is another song. We don't have to worry about her childhood and adolescence, she is always very protected and supported in her choices. Her family has decided to move from Norway to the US precisely to help Angelina in her choice, strongly desired, since she was a child, to become a star of the song, she couldn't have better tutors. I believe that this fantastic girl has more than just a musical talent, she also has a special musical sensitivity and a capacity for vocal evaluation, which make the results she always gets, even more surreal regardless of her age. I feel like comparing it to a starred chef, for her particular ability to be able to change the very flavor of the songs that she reinterprets, modifies the ingredients, without distorting the song, and creates a completely new flavor to each song, she is simply extraordinary. I can't compare Angelina to any other singer, I just know that the emotion that shakes me every time I listen to one of her songs is different from what I feel when I listen to other singer interpret it. She has a totally unique way of engaging your soul and making her shiver, even after hearing her hundreds of times you can't resist her voice. 💛 🧡 ❤️

[@branscombeR]

The 'starred chef' analogy is a good one. The other one, more common, is the artist 'painting with sound' ... R (Australia)

[@dojoswitzer]

@@branscombeR Angelina makes many other singers sound like they are painting a picture with one paint brush and one pigment of paint. She has all the paint brushes, and brush strokes, and colors from the preceding masters that she has ever heard and uses them instantly without hesitation. Like a painter who has jar full of brushes and a palette full of paints and has studied all the works of the masters who preceded her; I believe that instead of singing notes, Angelina paints a masterful tapestry of emotions with her voice. Because she is both the musician and the instrument, I have come to describe her as Mozart and Monet building a Stradivarius.

[@21Modding]

Her dreams are becoming a star, she loves to sing and started singing when she was 1,5 years old. She says this herself on a tv show and there is a videoclip of her singing at home when she was very young.

I believe she turned 16 this year and keeps getting better and better. She has raised millions of dollars for childrens

[@alicialynn5411]

Charities around the world, published a book and speaks four languages. She sings to bring joy to the world not for the money.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

Angelina has been begging for it since she was 3. Angelina is the one driving this train. It’s her parents that have put the brakes things since she won NGT when she was barely 8. Her first NGT video where she sang Gloomy Sunday got 5 million views almost overnight. After she won the offers started coming in but her parents turned down 90% of them, including Disney so as to allow Angelina a normal childhood and education. They have been that way ever since. She didn’t sign a record deal until she was 14 and even then they had to allow her time to finish her school and give her complete control of her art. She is a child prodigy the likes of which only come along once in a lifetime , or in her case century. Anyway, have no fear for Angelina. She has been protected as well as you could hope for. She wrote one of her first original songs about it, “Shield”. You should definitely check it out. Her parents and manager deserve an award for how they have navigated these waters for the last decade. Angelina is one of the most humble, caring, thoughtful people you could ever imagine. And a musical genius beyond compare.

[@candicefinlayson7966]

I’ve listened to a lot of Angelina Jordan and read a lot and have never heard that she was pushed into this. In interviews she talks about begging her parents to let her go into competitions. I found that I understood a lot about Angelinas’ amazing talent by going back to the beginning and watching her perform when she was 7 & 8&9 She was born with these singing talents and the lessons helped her perfect them. A few days ago, on tiktok, she sang a short version of Crazy, Patsy Cline cover, at 16, it was so beautiful, I didn’t think she could get any better, but I was wrong.

[@fredneecher1746]

She was begging and pleading her family to let her on to the Norway's Got Talent show! This is all her own inspiration. She IS the music! She says herself that singing is like breathing to her. Her family have been immensely supportive and protective of her at the same time, which is why her incredible talent is still little known in the wider world. Have no fear - she is the real deal, and if you see her in her recent set of concerts you will see how happy she is to be doing what she loves.

[@carolynhess3812]

She made these choices herself. She loves singing and music. It's in her. She's amazing.

[@AvilaDreamer]

Hi Saucey. As you get to know more about Angelina and her family, you will come to see all the worry and fear you have for her youthful well being is unnecessary. We all want Angelina to have as normal a childhood as possible - and she has had that opportunity and is doing just that. Even her contract with Republic Records gives Angelina full control, and she is not being pushed or promoted yet at all. All this Internet buzz is just her talent speaking for itself through word of mouth and reactionists just like you. We are all incredibly protective over her - and in short, her family is simply amazing. Thank you so much for all the recognition and praise you have given Angelina so far. Please keep going - this rabbit hole is extremely deep, and worth every minute of the journey. Peace and respect!

[@gebendeavors907]

Angelina was born in Oslo, Norway. She has lived for extended periods both in Oslo and in Los Angeles where Angelina now lives since 2020. She also lived for a time in the Middle East where she met the young girl who inspired her to perform barefoot after Angelina gave the girl her shoes and the girl said she would pray for Angelina. Angelina's mother is Norwegian Sara Astar, daughter of Iranian artist and poet Mery Zamani and a Japanese father. Her father is Gerry Christian Slattman, a petroleum engineer from Sweden. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School. It is an integrated primary, middle and high school with around 550 pupils. The school is considered one of the most prestigious schools in Norway. The arts play a major role in the Waldorf's curriculum and the activities surrounding the school. The Oslo Waldorf School includes a professionally equipped theater hall. Due to its long waiting lists, pupils are often enrolled shortly after birth to attend the school. Angelina participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training and piano lessons. In addition to singing and playing the piano, she plays violin, guitar and flute, and also paints. Unlike the US, the Norwegian system of extracurricular schools of music and performing arts (SMPA) is mandated by law. These schools are designed to reach all children and youth aged 6 to 15 in Norway. The law governing it states that each municipality, "alone or in collaboration with other municipalities, shall provide courses in music and other cultural activities for children and young people, organized in association with the school system and local cultural life" (see Norwegian Education Act 1998, § 13-6). It is unclear, but the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program may be associated with The Norwegian Academy of Music which is also located in the west end of Oslo where the Oslo Waldorf School is located. It is the largest music academy in Norway and is considered to have the best music education. Throughout the years the Academy has educated many of Norway's most renowned musicians. It educates musicians within music genres of folk, church, classical and, quite notably, a string of successful performers within the jazz realm. Given Angelina's love of jazz, it makes perfect sense that she would have wanted to attend an after-school program at such a prestigious and world renown place as the Norwegian Academy of Music. Unfortunately, it is not totally clear whether the Academy also ran/is the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program that Angelina attended.

[@kristena9285]

Angelinas parents are the opposite of pushy. When she was 5 she was begging them to take her to Norways got Talent (NGT), but they thought she was too young. Same thing at 6.. Then at 7 they allowed her to go, and she went on to win the show.. She LOVES what she's doing and have said so many times in interviews. Her mother have been adamant she have as normal childhood as possible (her school grades have been excellent all the way) and she have turned down over 90% of engagement request for Angelina to give her time to be a child :-)

[@Driveum]

She was not and is not pushed. She actually pushed her parents to let her record and enter contests. In fact her family has tried to protect her by holding her back. I suggest you watch her 1st recording at the age of 6, “I Who Have Nothing.” Watch her excitement and enthusiasm in that session and it is quite obvious that she does this because she loved it!

[@SuperLiorr]

Dude, I can assure you that every decision she makes is made voluntarily. She has a family and supportive fans that she gained from the age of 7 in her performances in Norway Good talent and it is clear to everyone that if she wanted more she would have been there. A record company definitely says it does things at its own pace this is also the reason it has signed on to Republic recordings so that it will remain independent in its decisions and not just chase after the big money. She has been singing since the age of a year and a half and she grew up like any normal child in school and with friends and in between she has done so many songs of different kinds that every time you hear her think it is a different voice he sings. She has several interviews in which she explains what happens to her when she sings big she goes through an out-of-body experience and if you ask me she is a soul reincarnation of Billy Holiday 🗣🎙👑🎷

[@annebiebrich9155]

She has a way to sing right into your heart and soul

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

Yes, she arranges her own vocals. Angelina confirmed this herself last week on her Instagram... "ask me a question" (orange 🍊 hoodie) that she arranged Bohemian Rhapsody and most of the things she sings. Her jazz roots, her tone, her determination and work effort makes her a generational singer.

[@DonaldLancon]

Wasn't that on Instagram?

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

@@DonaldLancon oh right! I'll edit my post. Thanks.

[@branscombeR]

... but not 'Yellow Brick Road' ... that's closely modelled on Sara Bareilles' arrangement, which won the praise of Elton John ... R (Australia)

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

@@branscombeR Not sure if you're trying to discount Angelina's talents or just stating the obvious. I did not say all of the songs she sings are reinvented. Sometimes she sticks very close to the original while other times she reinvents the song, such as Bohemian Rhapsody or Billie Jean. Even if she is close to the original, there are obvious differences. She's not an impersonator or mimic. Adele's 'Easy on Me' is an excellent example of Angelina performing a song with her own nuances (a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound). Angelina's version of 'Born to Die' follows Lana Del Rey's and yet, they are very different. Angelina has a different tone and conveys much more emotion. Check it out. I thinks she's age 12.

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

@@branscombeR I'm a huge fan is Sara Bareilles. She's awesome.

[@fredt7518]

If you're worried about her youth look at her first recording in a music studio at 6 ! you will see how she have fun and enjoy singing

[@colinhuggins268]

Angelina has been her own driving force in her career. Her father has remained out of the spotlight, Angelina's Grandmother is her soulmate and mentor, her Mother Sara is loving, caring and protective, her Uncle Michael is her manager and Juliette is her younger sister. Angelina has stated on more than one occasion that singing is like breathing to her and she loves singing and performing. Her family has actually protected Angelina and tried to let her have a regular childhood, under the circumstances. Angelina was the one that convinced her mother to let her enter Norway's Got Talent.

[@barbararichardson9800]

She is amazing. Can't wait for you to react to her cover of "Fly Me To The Moon". I think she was 7 at the time.

[@charlesallison6385]

Put your worries aside Angelina is a SONGBIRD AND SONGBIRDS GOTTA SING !! SHE'S DOING WHAT SHE LOVES TO DO. Her family is not pushing her she's pushing her family. She's traveled all over the world to sing mostly for charity events. So don't worry about her she's doing what she loves to do !!!!!

[@laurasmith5128]

love watching you . . . I believe no one forces her she was born for this, she arranges her own music & the music of the musicians playing instruments with her, even at 9yrs old. She just sees and feels the music. also the youngest Author in Norway @ 8yrs old I believe and she designs and does the sewing of her clothing as well. Her grandmother is an artist & if I remember correctly she was introduced to Jazz via Grandmother at a very young age. her family travels with her everywhere and I read, wouldn't allow her to sign contracts nor be managed by anyone. she makes decisions along with her family and their support. now you know all I know . . . regarding this So Amazing Girl. Oh yea she during the pandemic covered Micheal Jackson's Heal the World and was honored by becoming An Ambassador to the USA from Norway ! cool cover . . have fun ps you sound like a great Dad. .

[@lisayoung4987]

Angelina is well protected by her family. This is Angelina's' Passion. She signed with Republic Records with Many Conditions She does what and When and How. Republic Knows She is Golden and no matter what they're good.

[@tctitans11]

As a dad too, i totally understand your concerns. Long story short, we can give her family the utmost kudos. Angelina was the driver of her successes and her family kept her grounded. They turned down numerous big dollar contracts and were very selective instead because they wanted to maintain control so she could have as normal schooling and childhood as possible. They turned down suitors for 10 years before signing her first record deal, and again, only when they/she could maintain artistic and schedule control. They are doing things totally right.. what best for her.. we know where she gets some of her amazingness (not as a singer, but as a human being) from...

[@rickyrheuark7989]

Nobody helps Angilina. She is Magic and she produces magic. The Baby Faced Asassan. She is a Killer. She has music videos all the way back to one and a half years old. Over 150 music vids. You will be astounded as you keep reacting to Angilina. You haven't seen her at her best yet. Great reaction. I'll sub for Angilina, and your bewildering astonishment. 🇺🇸👍💯🔥⭐

[@andyschnell58]

Saucey, I thank you for your concern for Angelina being robbed of her childhood. I could write a short book from what I have learned over the past two years which would alleviate your concerns. The most telling fact is, when Angelina signed with Republic Records in August of 2020, at age 14, her parents and her uncle/manager had two conditions (from what I understand). Firstly they requested Angelina remain in total control over what she wants to sing and secondly, that she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible. 20 months later, Angelina has released two original songs on Republic and neither has been promoted. I don't know of any other teen singer who got such a record deal and we angels (fans) are willing to allow Angelina's loving and wise family, all the time they feel they need before having Republic promote her. Once the genie is out of the bottle and Angelina is known worldwide, you can't put her back in the bottle.

[@gebendeavors907]

Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five songs: ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLXhpWMgMdjrNU] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2jLm4qdabmiiLM] [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mydJV3odeSapo] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZmrZ5mkgKaipdE] [as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6S8qqOaZt56iJY] ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebnp15nZqcn6c) ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2e2mp-to7dlkMU] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5KapJSVo5yeY5o) ---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCWnpuuhbJgq6M]

[@charlesallison6385]

She was exposed to jazz music when she was 3 years old and she loved to sing and she was begging her mother at 5 years old to go on the AGT show the Simon show as she called it she wanted to go on the Norway's got talent show but she was too young she had to wait till she was 7 years old and she won it she said in an interview that when she sings she goes to a special place in her mind a beautiful place and she loves to sing more than anything. She was offered record deals by a lot of different labels but they wanted to control and her parents wouldn't go for that she finally got to deal with Republic records at age 14 and she retained complete control of her music !!!

[@johnvasi]

Yeah, she’s the best. I’m in my seventies and I’ve never heard anyone who combines such an incredible voice with such an incredible delivery. Her musicality is spontaneous and off the charts. And Angelina is easily the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard. You’re shocked because you’ve truly discovered a once in a lifetime talent. But even better-you haven’t come close to hearing what Angelina can do. You’ve listened to two incredible performances, but they were both jazzy-bluesy. Angelina covers five or six totally different genres as effortlessly and authentically as you just heard. It’s hard to believe, but just start listening. She is now, at 16, a phenomenal singer, but I’m one of her long-term fans who is completely captivated by her younger performances. Yes, watch her at seven on NGT-all four songs will have you shaking your head even more. For me, one of her most incredible performances is before a huge outdoor audience at 8 years old singing What a Difference a Day Makes. It’s not believable. And I’m sure you think you’re ready for I Put a Spell on You, at 9 years old. But you’re not. No one is ready for that.

[@rongotwalt4487]

Super and honest reaction ! I really enjoyed your comments ! I have followed Angelina's journey of joy and happiness for many years now and she is the real deal ! A fearless, sincere, loving and compassionate young woman who is so passionate about her singing ! You don't have to worry about her upbringing because she is well grounded by her family and even though she is signed with Republic Records they will allow her to control her musical career ! She is still in school and I feel will really be allowed to break out totally after she finishes school! If you really want to be blown away I would suggest her rendition of Screaming Jay Hawkins sing " I Put a Spell on You " black and white studio edition when she was just 9 years old ! This is the one that sent me on the Angelina journey many years ago ! It is absolutely mind-blowing ! This is a vocal masterpiece ! So so unbelievable ! Thank you for reacting to our barefoot princess it was so much appreciated ! Please keep posting ! Sending you much thanks and love from Canada ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

[@angelightification]

Angelina became enamored with Jazz because her grandmother loved jazz & obviously at the age of 3 she pushed her parents to sing at Norway’s Got Talent but they thought she was young📌 She sang 4 Jazz songs at Norway’s Got Talent - one of the songs in a cappella.📌 Today she has over 140 covers & a handful of her own original songs. Republic Records signed last year at the age of 16📌

angelina came out of a piano class @ 5-6 years old and pulled down her sweater she was wearing to expose her back which was covered in chicken pox. she smiled her toothless grin said " nothing can stop my passion for music " and then broke into acapella singing a song. her mother said angelina chooses all her songs all the arrangements that her family is there to love support and protect her in following her dreams. angelina mom said no vocal coach that her voice was so unique they didn't want anybody messing with it. she studied music theory and plays 5-7 instruments.started at 18 months has been singing for 15 years was ready for world stage at 5....

Nobody could make her do this with the wonder of it all. This is a self-starter.

[@Christian-DH]

Angelina Jordan Astar's mother, Sara Astar, had come home from shopping, and overheard her 18 month old singing in her room. Her mother said Angelina was singing beautifully. There's even footage of the child singing part of a Whitney Houston song. At age 3, she decided she wanted to sing for Simon Cowell. Angelina had wanted to enter talent contests at a younger age, but it wasn't until she was 5 years old that they relented. Having recently won NGT 2014, Sara said during an interview that it was very important that Angelina have a normal childhood, and that it shouldn't go beyond her usual everyday life. Angelina is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". Angelina Jordan always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefoot, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She considers her agemate every time she takes off those shoes. Of the encounter, little 6 year old 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.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The profits from this book go to children charities. OH - Did I mention charities?   Angelina has performed in charities to help raise money and attention concerning children lacking basic needs. She's helped raise over 21 million euros for these. She wasn't exploited, and her parents didn't take advantage of this free publicity for the advancement of themselves or Angelina's singing career. Something you will notice about Angelina is her lack of fear in her performances. She's just totally chill about it, focused on singing the songs or even improvising during them. We all hope that as her childhood ends, as she's 16 now, she doesn't get pulled into the world of music hype. The contract she signed with Republic Records leaves her in the driver's seat, selecting the timing and artistry she desires. Her first RR release was "MILLION MILES", written while she grieved over the death of her grandfather. There's a music video, a black and white studio performance, and a lyrics version, illustrated together with her grandmother, a child prodigy in poetry and art in her own right. All three are located on her official channel. We are interested in sharing what we know of this selfless and talented young lady, and gladly invite you into that world. I recommend watching her musical arrangement and performance of "I Put a Spell on You", Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 jazz classic, made at 9 years of age. This black and white studio performance is largely considered to be her masterpiece cover of the song. "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" (black and white studio performance) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU Two of the few videos we have of Angelina at 6-7 years old (recorded at her school) are as follows: "I WHO HAVE NOTHING" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJu0i354pbuUm9U "WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD" a short 1 min video of Angelina singing along to a recording of herself - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6amWCBr7xonLM

[@HeartFireSessions]

Yes it’s what she wants, yes she’s done interviews, there’s a lot known! She does all her own arrangements, when it comes to the music there is video of her giving instructions and orders to the musicians. It has been her passion since she was tiny, singing along with Billie Holiday jazz at 2 years old!!

[@johnbattles1002]

She auditioned at age 7 for Norway's Got Talent with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday." But she actually turned 8 during the course of the competition and won at that age.

[@nfpnone8248]

Angelina’s grandmother is a noted artist and poet, and child prodigy herself, so this was not unknown in her family, and yes, Angelina herself has always been the driving force, she told the other girl that she gave her shoes to that her dream was to be a superstar, that was when she was 6, her mother however would not let her audition until she demonstrated she was ready, and she worked hard to get to the point that her mother could no longer deny her an opportunity to audition. However, after she won, her mother and extended family clamped down on access to Angelina to preserve her childhood, but that became increasingly difficult as the music industry became more aware of her, especially when you have people like Quincy Jones requesting her to sing a song he arranged for Frank Sinatra at his 85th birthday celebration, and he and Angelina became fast friends, but they still were able to keep things in check and part of her signing with Republic Records includes her being able to have a normal child, what’s left of it. So there is no concern about her upbringing and her childhood, it has been managed very well, and everyone who interacts with Angelina knows from the beginning that there are guardrails.

Angelina has been singing since 1 and a half, she got hooked to the music her grandmother listened too. When she was 6 she was walking round a city and saw a child begging with no shoes on, Angelina took off her own shoes and gave them to the little girl. That's why she performs on stage barefoot, she said on a chat show at 7 that no child should have to be barefoot. Talk about old soul in a young body, she is a very humble young lady. Thank you Saucey for your reaction 👍💕👍

[@annebiebrich9155]

She wants to sing and bring love to the world through her voice! That is a quote from her

[@therealEmpyre]

You've started another deep-but-enjoyable rabbit hole. Here are some ideas: her first time in a studio, singing I Who Have Nothing at age 6, her NGT audition at age 7, singing Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday (You could react to all of her NGT performances, like you did for Pentatonix and Home Free on the Sing-Off), her astounding rendition of I put a Spell on You at age 9, her original A Million Miles Away at age 16, and My Funny Valentine at age 10 and 18 (double reaction video?). This still only scratches the surface.

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

"Singing is as important to me as breathing" - Angelina (age 8) You said you were curious if she was pressured into this. If you read some of the background the fans left in the comments of your last Angelina video, it might be more obvious that it is all her that has driven her singing career. But really, you don't even need the background to know that music is just in her soul. Not only did her parents not force this on her, but I'm not sure that anyone could have stopped her. Angelina's family has handled her unprecedented talent in such a graceful way over the last 10 years. You said you had trouble weeding through the reactions to find the videos... I recommend going straight to her cover channel and throwing a dart. It's all gold. But first do "I put a spell on you" ;)

About the pressure she must feel, she actually wrote a song recently about that. See 7th Heaven. :-) you're welcome :-)

Great reaction! Her family isn’t that interested in music. She started singing jazz because the only family member with a music collection was her grandma. She actually had to beg her mother to enter her into “Norway got talent” competition. Her stents have actually held her back a lot. They held back Angelina signing with a label until she was 14, and her deal includes a clause that keeps the label from actively promoting her until she’s graduated high school.

Angelina is a gift from heaven.. she’s an angel as in her name. Her last name is Astar.. imagine that.. how appropriate. There is a lot to chose from recently.. I’d like to suggest my funny valentine that she posted last Valentine’s Day. She also has another video singing it when she was ten I believe (could be wrong on that). Listen to them back to back.. you’ll be amazed.

She always preforms barefoot. If I remember right, when she was little, she saw a homeless person on the street with no shoes. In her support to help, she preforms with no shoes.

Here is some background information on Angelina and family: 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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish. 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. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. 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 6 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. 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. A 9 years and 2 months old, 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. 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. 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 has concerts scheduled 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. Courtesy of Andy Schnell

Most things are known about Angelina, because her maternal grandmother (Mery Zamani) was herself a child prodigy (painter & poet) and Mery is Angelina's "chronicler" (videographer, etc.). To ease your mind about Angelina's family support, watch this interview with Omer Bhatti (a judge from "Norway's Got Talent" when Angelina won, and now a friend of the family): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGqpqGxteNCpnZY Angelina wasn't "pushed" into any of this; she does the pushing and makes her own choices. She begged to audition for NGT at 6 (maybe earlier?), but they wouldn't take her until she turned 7 (at which point she pestered her parents to let her go on the show, which she subsequently won). A good example of how she works as a musician is this video of her rehearsing "Portrait of a Child" (her arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "Portrait of a Man") with her band at age 9: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmHJZKdpmdJ1mM0. You can see her mother (Sara) is there watching over her and protecting her, and her grandma (Mery) is doing the filming. Further evidence of the family's support is Angelina's original song "Shield," in which she thanks her family for protecting her yet letting her realize her dreams. My favorite line in that song is "Forgive me for all that I am," meaning I'm sorry for everything you had to do for me (like moving from Oslo to LA when she was 12 to further her musical career).

As far as we fans know, she has always done her own arrangements of her covers and there are several videos of rehearsals where she is instructing the band members, even at age 8. She has collaborated on a couple of her original songs. Angelina's mother has been in a few interviews. Look on Angie's grandmother's channel - look for Mosarz. Angelina has not had singing lessons but did attend an after-school music school for a number of years. She plays the piano, guitar and, I am told, the violin and flute. When she looked for professional voice instruction in Norway, there were no takers! She was already far beyond what they could teach her and they worried that they would spoil her natural abilities. This was one reason her family decided to move to Los Angeles when she was 12. Angelina admits that she taught herself to sing by listening to all the greats while growing up. She has only been in two competitions: Norway's Got Talent, auditioning when she was 7 and winning it at age 8, and America's Got Talent - The Champions, which you are reviewing (there is one more performance). Her parents have never pushed Angie to perform - it's all Angelina.
