Angelina can touch you with her voice like no other singer.
Happy 15th Birthday Angelina Jordan,
may you enjoy many more. I listen to her daily, thank you for
sharing . Seattle, Washington
@ Otto Larsen. I lived in and around Seattle for 40 years before moving to Costa Rica. Take care of our precious green gem, and I hope to run into you on our mutual Angelina journey.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Miki, and Happy Birthday Angelina!
❤️ your reaction to Angelina 👍🙂,and Happy Birthday Angelina from a big (108 kg 😩) fan 🎂🎁🌹🌹🌹🎊🎉🎈👍🙂❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday Angelina🎂🎈
Simple and profound. Good reaction.
Happy birthday Angel.
Angelina composed the lyrics and music herself. She was ten years old when she wrote this and released it at 11.
Lovely reaction. When I listen to her old-time sound, I think of the fact that she once said if she hadn't discovered Billie Holliday, there would be no Angelina Jordan. Happy 15th birthday, Angelina!
@Rachel Dacus. I thank Mery for all she has given us through Angelina.
@@ericdavison5434 So true!
Angelina sure can melt our hearts...
Angelina's compositions always are honest, genuine and meaningful. I love she chose a jazz vibe for this one.
Thanks Miki!
No comments, we re celebrating her birthday here...just enjoy.
Thank you for a 👍👍👍 reaction🙏
Angelina is one of a kind I think she’s been touched by an angel! She plays to the music ! We feel so calm and relaxed all I can say she’s a shining star that’s going to shine for a really long time to come!!!
Nice reaction. Happy 15th Birthday! Angelina Jordan, the barefoot angel.
It's a lullaby. Kids, its time for bed. Listen to this.
it is now several months that I didn't hear this song and I remembered it as if it was just yesterday, I think it's a amazing thing about this
With all the difficulties around the world I believe Angelina brings nothing but joy to our hearts and lives. Beautiful.
you are right. she appears to write music about something that's dear to her. Her country (Oslo), about life (What is life), about her family (Shield) and her deceased grandparent (Million Miles). She is a good and genuine kid. She has not tried to appear somebody that she is not. And that is one of the main reasons her fans love her.. Love your reaction. You eloquently expressed how her fans think of this song. And I look forward to more of your reactions.
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Julius Eli instablaster =)
@Tripp Kristopher Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Tripp Kristopher It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Julius Eli glad I could help :D
This song makes us forget a few minutes of what is going in the world. Very beautiful
Michal, thank you for this wonderful reaction with Angelina on her birthday. I loved the analysis of her lyrics and the formulation of the song, really this is a song that tells a lot about her ... this is the life of an 11 year old girl who manages to ask herself these questions by offering her answers, not it is so normal for a child of that age, leaving us with the hope that he can always live his life with such awareness. 😊 😍
... "Maybe life is a warm embrace / From someone safe / Maybe life's just a memory / We come, we see, we go" ... for me this is a wonderful poem ❤️
Thank you 😊
When she went to a song writing workshop and this one of 3 results
Thnx for the info!
As an aside here,Dylan Meek was a child jazz piano prodigy.Loved your reaction,thank you and Happy Birthday to the incredible Angelina Jordan.
So gooood, so positive, she is a breath of fresh air on a spring day. Omg yes I agee. Loved this reaction
You're right about the comparison with the songs these days. It shouldn't be surprising because she likes old school music especially jazz and I believe that she will bring younger generations to enjoy that style of music too
We mature adults adore her, but the young music buyers seem to ignore her in favor of Billie, Grace, and Taylor Swift Their Bad!
You get my support. One thing. She has an intuitive feeling toward the emotion in songs. It belies her age. She is the song.
A "musical time capsule" for all times.
So amazing Angelina
Angelina's positive message (especially here) and her demeanor and choices overall are causing us to remember to be better versions of ourselves one AJ lyric at a time.
Refreshing.
It’s just a beautiful combination of talents. The music behind Angelina is refreshingly real. And it’s done so well, standing on its own at times, but mostly backing off for the the vocals. Angelina’s lyrics are what we’ve come to expect: personal, introspective, and genuine. And this song is a definable old school style with Angelina giving us a voice that slides and glides so smoothly, making us understand the surprising lyrics perfectly. And after we’ve heard Angelina’s magical voice for most of the song, she gives us a complex, but smooth, extended run that seems like a perfected ending-until she repeats that complex run once more with an even more breathy, old-time slide to the finish.
It’s real music. And that’s so unusual and refreshing. Beautifully done.
A timecapsule, a beautiful comment. Her Song looks like a promise for her future working. Her Song Oslo Show us her Love to the world of her hometown, shield her social Attention to her protecting Family and Million Miles her embrace with memories. A Song to calm down from a hectic day 🌅💖🌺
Just hearing her talk is musical
Michal many thanks for yet another reaction to our barefoot angel. Angelina's grandma, Mery Zamani, was considered a prodigy in poetry and art and has certainly been a close loving mentor to Angelina. Mery it has been said got infant Angelina interested in jazz. Angelina spent countless hours listening to jazz, and other music, both at home and the local jazz cafe in Oslo. Born with incredible talent and raised in such a loving, intelligent environment, has nurtured the Angelina we now know and love. Angelina's other original songs are Oslo, Shield and Million Miles, each worthy of review. Personally, I believe, after hearing only the first song from her upcoming album, the album will turn the music industry in a new direction. Of course I can only be proved right or wrong after maybe 10 years to fully learn the true impact. We can say, we are witnessing potentially one of the all time best singer/songwriters.
God, I love this song! Definitely takes me back decades in it's style. I can't put my finger on it, but it's so reminiscent of some old style composition.
Angelina has published three other original songs: *_"Oslo",_* a song about her home town, *_"Shield",_* said to be dedicated to her mother, and *_"Million Miles"_* which she wrote in memory of her late grandfather (recently released through Republic Records). She's credited some co-writers for the last two songs, but from what I understand, all lyrics are 100% her own and they seem to me as if they are based on entries in her diary.
She's also been commissioned to do vocals on two other original songs: *_"Song For A",_* written by the Russian classical/crossover composer _Nico Cartosio_ especially for her to sing, and *_"Above The Water",_* a typical EDM song by the Norwegian production duo _TRXD_ (Truls Dyrstad & David Atarodiyan).
I strongly recommend you listen to all these songs. The represent a wide variety of music styles and demonstrates that Angelina is not afraid to try new things.
I should probably have left some links ...

She can sing many genres, but to me, she always sings with a jazz accent - and, jazz seems to be her home. She reminds me of the famous jazz singers singing pop songs on American music variety television shows in the 50s, and 60s. I love jazz!
Happy birthday Angelina!!
And thx for react to this Michal
I love this young woman.I love her peaceful and loving soul.Many people love her voice.I love the person angelina jordan.
Her other originals include Oslo (about her home town), Shield (about her family) and the new single Million Miles (tribute to her Grandfather who passed).
You need plenty of tissues to listen to Million Miles.
@@jonathanwetherell3609 wow, i so agree. : )
loved your analysis not only of Angelina's musical style & freshness, but of the kind of matured innocence she has about her, quite apparent that she's surrounded by a family that cares & loves her very much, to pursue her love of music, but not let her miss out on her child/teenage years,,, she has sooooo many great years ahead of her, I"m from the boomer generation, so I truly LOVE her style & choice of music..keep up the reactions, you're very perceptive, thanks again for your commentary....
She is stirring everyone's emotions s. So relax. You are not the only one who feels her.
This song is very refreshing and beautiful.
Angelina is irresistible and quite possibly the most likeable person on the planet. Who else would be?
Fantastic,fantastic,fantastic...
Loved your reaction, thanks so much for sharing!
Love to see you are well. Last time I saw vou had a fever. I am an Angelina fan and always felt she sings her heart out, even when the lyrics seems to be little beyond her age.
Such a strange and wonderful journey with this one 🦶👸
I guess this is the fifth time listening to this song, and this time I began to cry.
How? SMH.
So RICH!
Love you Mickie! (sp?)
Can you imagine this set in a speakeasy with professional production that includes a full band with a brass section would be out of this world.
Such a beautiful and insightful song from such a young person.... she is wonderful! Thanks for your reaction to Angelina.... please keep them coming!!
I just started binging your reactions to Angelina. Came from the BagiBagi channel where you were mentioned.
I appreciate your analysis of the most complex and sophisticated vocal artist as you are an intelligent vocalist yourself. After hundreds of watched reactions it's nice for an Angel to get even a slightly new educated insight in the miracle that is Angelina Jordan. Thank you for that.
I'm not that far yet but I hope to see you react to her EP OLD ENOUGH and to her rendition of UNCHAINED MELODY at the last Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Stay safe. Love and Kindness. Greetings from Germany
There’s another version with the lyrics that’s really sweet. I understand she wrote this at age 11.
I understand what you are saying about the current pop scene. After she released Million Miles I started looking at the charts to see if it might show up on there. OMG. Just the titles alone were embarrassing. I thought, she’s too nice and innocent to be a part of the pop world. The piano player Dylan is a Grammy winner. Great reaction and comments
What you said is so true!! I agree with you 100%! It is absolutely refreshing to hear a positive and genuine song that’s no so provocative or even insulting like some of these songs today! Thank you for your reaction always great!!
She wrotted herself at 11 yo. Impressive !!!!
youre one of my favorite reactors. so chill and intelligent. you seem to appreciate angelinas style and basic ability. i really respect your opinions . thanks for supporting angelina
Hi Michal, I think it would help many if you continue your journey with Angelina and bring some goodness to people's lives.
Very smart, insightful, and sensitive comments for which we thank you. This is one where I especially like Angelina's "borrowing"/riffing in Ella mode -- Fitzgerald, that is. It's Ella, always (at least for me) who brings out the best in Angelina. She's the very finest of students, Angelina is, and she'll perhaps one day be the finest of teachers to other young artists. Not that Angelina isn't wonderful in and of herself even now, and we of course love her for it. But she's just fourteen, and there's no not guessing that the best is yet to come.
Hello Michael Did you melt when she colored the ending of the song. She could Rift a Whole song like that. The melodies within her voice is out of this world
So you're say she's like a breath of old air.
Thank you Angel for making these AG requests.
You provided an EXCELLENT analysis here. Talk about "intelligent"!!!
Awesome reaction ❤️🇨🇦
She has 2 other originals, Oslo and Shield that you’ll love plus a new one Angelina did with Republic Records Million Miles. When you react to this one use the Studio version. She’ll pull on your heart ❤️ and then gently massage it back in place.
I think it makes us see how short life can be with a this covid-19 going on. Beautiful song !!!
Thank you, Miki, for yet another great Angelina reaction. You are right that the songs she has written are based on experiences in her short life, but she covers a lot of songs that express emotions about which a 7-8-9-10-11-12 year old girl should not know. It's amazing how she can tap into feelings that are way beyond her years. Here's one example. Her cover of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" is haunting and the expression of unrequited love is astounding. Your reaction would greatly be appreciated. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html
It's so Go0oOoOoOoOooood!
Nice reaction, Miki! I think you should have a look at "Shield" which I believe is primarily about/for her mother, whom she has called her shield. She says her grandmother is her mentor and inspiration. This live performance of "Shield" occurs immediately after an interesting interview where she reveals a bit about herself and breaks into a phrase from "Diamonds Are Forever". Have a look at the interview first, they switch to English at 0:38. It's not a spoiler for the song...ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html. Then, here's the "Shield" video: ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html
Her Original Oslo she wrote on the flight from USA to Norway, lyrics because
Sorry composed hit the wrong key sorry check her song Oslo
Wonderful reaction. I don't know all the details on how this song was written but she does play the piano the guitar and a couple of other instruments, I believe she wrote and composed the music to this by herself, please someone correct me if I am wrong. I know with her song "Shield" she had help with the composition, she was wanting a very Bond sounding song. With "Oslo" she wrote the lyrics on a plane, going back to Oslo after being in the U.S. but I don't know about the music on that one. I do know she can write lyrics quickly, she loves singing Amy Whinehouse songs but her mother does not like the lyrics, so she rewrote them, she has done that with Rehab changed it to about school. She also rewrote Back To Black, changed it to Back to Love, She also changed the lyrics to I'm No Good to I'm So Good, She also sang Valerie but I am not sure what she changed in that, I don't notice anything changed but I can't say I know the lyrics that much. She has been writing since she was very young in Diaries and has many of them, also she is the youngest published author at 9 written in Norwegian (English "Between Two Hearts) a story about why she sings barefoot and her grandmother did the art for the book. Her language ability amazes me, I have seen her reading English lyrics a 5, and English is her 3rd language. Her native language is Norwegian, she speaks Farsi, from her grandmother and they have stayed some time in the middle east, her grandfather was Japanese and her mother and uncle lived in Japan so she knows some Japanese and has sung in Japanese in Japan. and she is fluent in English. I was not reading English at 5 and it is my only language. And Happy 15th Birthday, Angelina!
Lynette, I'm glad I read your great comment before I wrote one, because you covered everything I planned to say. I believe she wrote the melody for Oslo since there are no co-writers I know of, but I'm not sure. Thanks. Happy Birthday Angelina. We love everything you do.
@@keithserafy THanks Angelina blows me away with her language skills and of course singing. I just saw on another comment elsewhere that the other two instruments are violin and flute
@@lynettepascua4730 Sometimes Angelina uses Swedish words in her talks because her dad is Swedish. Norwegian and Swedish people can understand and talk to each other without any problems.
@@mathias61 wow one more to put on the list.
I have never heard anything to suggest that anyone helped Angelina write this song or Oslo. Presumably Dylan and Ivan helped with the arrangement for this acoustic recording. Dylan Meeks (piano) has a Grammy nomination for a song he cowrote as part of the soundtrack to the movie “Into the Spiderverse“. If you Google him you’ll also see that he has absolutely mind-boggling piano skills. Shield was a collaboration (she wrote the lyrics and no doubt had considerable influence on the music and arrangement) and Million Miles had producers who obviously helped with the music and arrangement. But according to Republic Records it’s her composition.
For me, the deepest line of the lyrics that sqeezes my heart till it hurts remains this one: Maybe life is a warm embrace from someone safe!!!! From 3:47 to 4:04.
I could write an essay on how kids nowedays need so much love through the safety of our warm embrace.
It is a crazy and fallen world outside, and they sense it.
Thank you, Michal!
I think she was 10 when she wrote this song... maybe with her family/grandma...
This version is slower than the one on her album from yrs agl.
Angelina Jordan is fighting back against modernity and corruption and greed. If she knows it or not ;) it´s very refreshing to see..!
Angelina Jordan was born in Oslo, Norway on Tuesday, January 10, 2006 (Generation Z). She is 15 years old and is a Capricorn. Angelina Jordan Astar, also known as Angelina, is a Norwegian singer who won the 2014 season of Norway´s Got Talent, singing classic jazz pieces, including “Gloomy Sunday” and “Fly Me to the Moon”. Her performances went viral on RUclips and she was featured in People magazine, Time, and other news outlets around the world. She used her weekends to sing her favorite melodies for her family.
She discovered RUclips when she was one and a half years old. She used the platform to find her favorite songs growing up. The education details are not available at this time. Please check back soon for updates. Angelina Jordan is a member of Richest Celebrities and Pop Singers. 9.4 Million dollars
Yes she doesn't need sex to enjoy her songs her voice surpasses all the bells and whistles of current pop
7th Heaven video is out OMG ❗️
Enjoyed this review very much. I wonder what the song would sound like using the lower keys of the piano? Just curious. This was awesome.
"RUclips overlords". Lmao
Dylan played keys for Grace V during her imagine dragons support tour. Grace has gone down the road you were describing,and some. Carly Rose Sonenclar is putting out songs riddled with expletives and so it goes on ....
Grace is getting nasty now days!
@@leebrn8588 NASTY is being kind. All rather boring, being as she hardly has the background to make it justifiable.
She does sing about things she couldn't possibly have experienced in her young life; I would call your attention to her cover of Chris Issac's "Wicked Game" (ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html). To me, it is one of her absolute best and she gives it all of the emotion it merits, yet I can't imagine she has experienced that (at least not in this life.)
Thanks for your reaction to AJ. It is such a rare opportunity to track an artist’s development from 3 to 15! Please review Haley Westenra singing “I Dream a Dream” recorded live in Belfast. Also a child prodigy 15 year ago, she is now #3 on the Classical charts this century. Thanks
It's strange for a couple of seconds it goes into almost like a ragtime piano and it really throws you off
whoa she's from the 1920s looking at me
I think the guitarist is her cousin.
What! where is the beautiful chair?
I hope it's not like going to school.
Original composition yo totaled a song called shield 12 years & 7th Heaven records
I showed how to create the song Oslo we’re getting in with quite a professor from what she did she write like a storyboard that this is the paper and she go through each one of those everything is accurate and precise. This is willy-nilly about her everything‘s gonna be per side same residence Bellinger those piece of paper, Shannon think it was like a story about mold out and everything she did not really Nellie. It was just my everything is rehearsed and done to her where she wanted to say it. Yeah he does not do nothing on a random everything is like she looks like a we got to see how she performed the song how to write a bit of peace. If you want some more than just sing it he’s got another piano and she sang I wish I bring up the whole song also as a tribute to where she lives glorify Norway explain patriots hawk, grocery list how much you love Norway.
Angelina Jordan Astar It’s certainly a prodigy singing jazz at one and a half years of age she asked her mother if they do three but she wanted to sing for Simon Cowell she tried the Internet no worries got talent at the age of five and they said you have to be seven so she did it at seven she I just saw this gloomy Sunday bang bang summertime I’m a fool for you unusual pics for lunch baby girl but that’s what she loves she gravitated towards it just her grandmother introduced it to her and she took that like duck your water
Music and lyrics written by Angeline Jordan no Collaboration with anybody
All her
