She met a young homeless and shoeless girl when she was around 6. She gave her own favorite boots of her own feet. She vowed to never perform in shoes again to raise awareness of children in need. She also has raised millions of dollars for charities with her performances. As to the set/cart. I can only think the gist of it was remembering the comfort of young childhood when we rode in carts our parents pushed us in.
Angelina was walking with her family one day and came upon a young girl her age (6) weighing people on a scale to make money. Angelina struck up a conversation with the young girl and they talked about their dreams for the future. The girl had no shoes on and Angelina noticed she had scars on her feet. Angelina took off her favorite shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl said she would pray for Angelina. Angelina vowed to never sing with shoes until all the world's children had them. To this day Angelina sings with no shoes to remember the girl, and as a way to draw attention to the plight of the less fortunate in society.
@@markuss7249 I believe in the interview on Norwegian television for her book release the interviewer indicated it was Iran. Angelina agreed but interjected “it could have been anywhere “.
She has the ability to take any song and make it her own, while staying true to the original. She was studying old jazz singers from the time she was a blank slate.
its been suggested that sitinging in the cart is to remind us of the days of our childhood....when our mothers would take us shopping and push us around the supermarket in the trolley
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RUclips and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RUclips performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. 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 RUclips and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.
Thanks for a great reaction. I have listen to Angelina performing her version of this classic Beatles song dozens of times. Paul McCartney's lyrics were written and then sung expressing a dissolving relationship from the male perspective. Angelina changes that and places the focus on the relationship from the female perspective. It is a powerful and meaningful change and she does it with her usual flair. She sings "I'm not half the girl I used to be", "Why I hd to go , I don't know, he wouldn't say", "I said something wrong and now I long for yesterday". Each of those phrases, sung with emotion and angst, comes across so personalized...it almost brings me to tears every time I hear them. She has an unmatched ability to make every song her own and she does it in an extraordinary way with this classic.
You're right, many people call her an old soul and she's just 15 in this video. Regular people as well as pros and famous people say she's already a seasoned singer/jazz singer. She's been getting these comments since she was a little girl! Best singer today in my humble opinion!
Nobody ever mentions the shadow that stands up and walks away. He's behind the bookshelf to her left. After she sings, There's a shadow hanging over me, he stands up when she sings suddenly. Great reaction! 🇺🇲😎👍🌟💯
She was highlighted as one of the best musical storyteller from her all star musicians at her Christmas online show last year. She arranged her songs since her winning NGT performances and is called with the nickname..The Boss in a lovely way for all of her musicians around. She knows and tells everyone how she wants to go with her Songs. A complete Artist 🎵✌️👍💃💞
I interpret the shopping cart & shop to represent her yesterday when she would go shopping with her family, & as with a lot of young kids, ride in the shopping cart. The song talks about a time of innocence & I think there is a message from her that perhaps the "grown up" world for her now has lost that.
While in the Middle East visiting relatives with her family (at a very young age), she saw a girl offering to weigh people in the street - no shoes, raising money to help her family. Angelina took hers off and gave them to the girl - decided from that moment would never wear shoes while performing until people like this didn't have to be shoeless
It's so nice to see you back. Angelina recorded this and Michael Jackson cover at a studio called the color crib in LA. I'm not sure if there is a significance to the shopping cart. It is part of the orange room at this location. Check out her Michael Jackson ""Billie Jean" for a multi color experience.. but very Angelina jazzy. So good!
So special that she can afford to do so little, with so little accompaniment, so slow and still sound so interesting and captivating! Less is more, I guess! With Angelina, that is!
Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California is playing the piano. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her.
Great to see you back with Angelina....long time. Love your reactions and comments always. Angelina possesses a vocal skill set the likes I have never heard in over 60+ years of listening to music. She captures you, captivates you and mesmerizes you in just the first few notes she sings. She puts her passion and soul into everything she performs and personally have to listen to Angelina every day, just makes my days better all the time. A few other vocal teachers that have listened to Angelina refer to her as a Master Class vocalist already. Just think, she is just 16 now and has been uploading a lot to her IG and TikTok and simply gets better and better almost on a daily basis...it is mind blowing how talented this young girl is. Hope to see you come back with more Angelina.
An English version is available from her web site as a digital download. Well worth $20. The thoughts she wrote in her diary at 6 years old are amazing. My guess is that intellectually. She is a genius. There is a video of her reading from the diary on a Norwegian talk show at 9 or 10.
This is the first time I've turned on your channel and I must say I'm very impressed with your honest critique. Your thought that someone who ventures into the world of music must do so with a genuine feeling of love for what they are doing is right on. It is their line of communication with their audience and without that the performer is only a shell. Angelina certainly scores a 100 in that department, deeply connecting with her audiences all over the world and their gender, age, color, religion are not distinguishable, they are as one, Angelina 'angels'. You said that you have received hundreds of comments referencing Angelina. In fact, before hearing her sing a note you knew you were about to hear something very extraordinary. With 71K subscribers you have your hands full to keep everybody happy but I'm wondering if you have learned what she is all about personally. The soulful tone you hear is obviously something that cannot be taught. It's within her and when she sings it comes out in the form of love which touches people's hearts. Overly dramatic? No, not at all. Thousands (maybe millions) of people around the world have Angelina's love in their hearts and that love will never leave them. I can give you an example of the affect Angelina has on people who listen to her sing. Because of who she is as a humble, kind, caring and loving human being and someone whose desire in life is to do what she can to make the world a better place to live for everyone, she actually inspires people to be the best they can be. She believes love is the absolute prerequisite to achieving harmony around the world. She sings 'for people', rather than to them and her object is to make them happy and feel the love in her heart. You need only to walk up to an Angelina 'angel' and ask them the following question: "Are you a better person since you have discovered Angelina?" From my experience, they will pause for a second, then look up to me, and smile. I don't know if you're still with me. I know I went on and on. But, I've taken this time to encourage you to find out more about her. If you don't know the story already, why she sings barefoot in public is a good start. Thanks and I hope I see you do more Angelina Jordan reactions.
Thank you, Robert! Your comment has made me smile today and I really appreciate that! I hope you find more videos that you like on the channel and i'll see you soon!
@@TempleMusicAcademy You may think Robert is an obsessive fan, but it is truth. Angelina’s angel’s are legion and will be the first to tell you they are better humans because of her. A six year old child has changed the life of hundreds of thousands maybe millions of people. There will be documentaries, movies and her music will be taught at universities across the world. You certainly should delve into this incredible human.
Angelina is flexing to the music executives that she can paint a room orange, sit in a shopping cart, and just barely sing and STILL crush and slay without shaking her bon-bons for attention.
that quivering vibrato kills me softly. I listened/watched this performance and always get reminded of my own "yesterday", when I pushed my kids in shopping carts around in the store parking lot. I truly miss those sweet moments.
You are doing right - a big screen for the artist and a small of your self👍🇧🇻 Whatever, I'm going to Angelina's concert on July 10 in Kongsberg, Norway🤗
The SUBJECT matter of the book she wrote is based on an experience she had in her travels. Walking down a road with her Grandma, she noticed some people gathered around a young girl, near her age. Angelina struck up a conversation, this girl had scarred cut up feet and earned money with her old scale, aspired to be a doctor, but having siblings and being an orphan, didn't think she'd be able. She asked Angelina what she wanted to, of course, she told her she wanted to be a superstar and sing for the world . The girl said she'd pray for her success.. and commented on Angelina's shoes, that they were very nice. So, she took the shoes off her feet and gave them to this girl, vowed she would perform barefoot in her honor and would until all the children in the world had shoes... Angelina has been a philanthropist since a very early age, and donates ALOT of $$ to these causes.. .her age when she was moved so greatly: 6 yrs old. And this is what makes Angelina so unique, in tune with emotions of every sort.. in that moment she didn't only feel sympathy, she SHOWED COMPASSION.. All this goodness is reflected in her talent, and what she wants to accomplish in life... Angelina is truly, one of a kind, her voice is one of a kind, her beauty is one of a kind ... Because these things come from her heart... PEACE.
This is one of my favorite songs of the Beatles. Angilina doesa great rendition. She doesn’t wear shoes when she performs. Because when started performing she encountered a child with no shoes. Angelina took her shoes off and gave them to the girl. To this time she performed barefooted to bring tribute to those with out shoes.
Very informative analysis and I look forward to more. Your question about Angelina and being barefoot is answered by many below. She came across a barefoot orphan girl with scarred feet when she was 6 years old in the Middle East. She befriended the girl and gave her her own shoes off her feet and they talked for a while after. Angelina vowed that she would never again wear shoes while performing as a tribute to all those less fortunate. But your question goes further. Angelina is a true humanitarian as she donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children's charities. She also helped raise since then over 21 million dollars for children's charities and environmental causes. Her stated goal is to sing for the world to bring love and peace. Angelina is an old soul and a special one at that. We should all support values like this in our youth and reaction channels should do all they can to help this gift from above to achieve their goals. Thanks for what you do.
Welcome back to Angelina's content. I would love to see your take on her Billy Jean cover, in which she takes one of the biggest hits from the King of Pop and masterfully converts it to Jazz.
Excellent reaction and breakdown! Surprised you've only reacted to 4 of her songs in a year. You aware she has 161 Covers and 5 originals? She befriended a 7 year old, when she was 6 years old that was so poor she didn't have shoes and Angelina gave her shoes to her. The girl said she would pray for her and Angelina told her she will perform barefoot until all the children have shoes and to remind her of the little girl. She has a book she wrote and was published when she was 9 and available on her Official Channel about that experience. All proceeds go to Children's Charities, God Bless
No shoes when performing is to honor a little around her age of 6 years old girl she found on the street in a foreign place who was weighing people with a bathroom scale to support her and her orphan siblings and who had no shoes and scars on her feet. The girl admired Angelina's shoes so Angelina at just 6 years old took off her favorite shoes she was wearing and gave them to the girl. Angelina then vowed to always perform barefoot to bring attention to those children who had no shoes, and Angelina has honored that vow for the past 9 years. The shopping cart to me is a symbol of days past when she was small enough to actually fit and ride in a shopping cart and was a child who had no cares. , thus the song "Yesterday". "when all my troubles were far away" She is quite the artist all around even in her settings for performing.

Hi William! Angelina is best known as a Jazz Singer and was 7 - 8 years old when performing on and winning Norway’s Got Talent. Best to double-check your facts when commenting where Angels tread! 😇
Angelina 6 years old while traveling in Iran where her grandma is from , met a poor girl who didn’t have any shoes and the feet were sore , Angelina befriend the girl who was also 6 years old and in conversation the girl told Angelina her dreams for the future, Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and vowed never to wear shoes until all the children in the world have shoes! How Amazing is that from someone so young!
Since this was recorded during the hight of the whole covid thing my immediate reaction to the set coupled with the song itself was to think she was speaking about pre-covid life and showing post-covid life. The shopping cart may or may not be associated with shortages, but to me it definitely expressed being confined. There has been a lot of ideas from fans interpreting this set, but I haven't seen anything from Angelina herself. It's just a mind boggler.
This video was made by Angelina & her maternal uncle/business manager, Michael Astar, for her YT Cover Channel, not for her record label, Republic Records. There are monochromatic rooms of different colors at a studio in LA. So they rent the studio, she brings her own mic & a karaoke track sits in the shopping cart & sings all scrunched up (6'1" tall) while Michael records & edits it. Done! They did the same thing with her "cover" of Michael Jackson's iconic pop song, Billie Jean, except they used 3 different colored rooms & she switches back & forth while she sings in her "new" jazzy/pop style. We now have 2 Masterpiece versions of that song. Her arrangement skills are genius & she's been doing it since she was 8, maybe younger. Here's the link for that. ruclips.net/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/видео.html
This is the vision of one of the young producer AJ is working with, she is supposed to be a basket case to emphasize the emotion she really feels while singing this song. She is 15 at this performance.
My goodness it has been awhile since you reacted to Angelina. Appears you have been busy and best of luck on Twitch (a better platform for livestreaming). We angels have been busy too while we continue to be patient, waiting for when Angelina's family feels the time is right to have Republic Records promote her. We have been suggesting to reaction channels to go beyond their wonderful reactions in supporting the artist. Thanks for providing links to the original video and to her Official RUclips channel. Sadly, few people read the description so please verbally encourage viewers to use those links to boost the analytics for the artist. It has become a movement, with well over 100 channels now implementing these simple suggestions and some going further, including links to the artist's social media. Fans of the artist love the support and are more likely to sub to your channel. Much love.
I'm totally on board Andy. Many of the reactors I have worked with on this issue have implemented the suggestions and find that their channel is growing more quickly. The main reason is that the fans appreciate what the reactor is doing. And of course the biggest part is that it's helping the artist with their algorithm and their career. Some of the reactors are also using text boxes and banners on their screen to encourage viewers to utilize the artist links provided. Thanks for sharing this information with as many reactors as possible, and also the viewers
Thanks for the informative reaction.. Considering that she is over 6 feet tall that must be a huge cart. I think that is the same set she use for the jazzy cover of Billie Jean which I highly recommend.. Ray Charles sang Yesterday, I believe before the Beatles because my copy is vinyl. It is solid blues/jazz. You might enjoy it.
👍👍 My belief on the scenery of this video was in 1965 when this song was written and recorded George Martin broke his leg/foot skiing in the Alps so they had to push George in a shopping cart back an forth from the Studio and the apartment that he was staying,,, the orange color was the label color of the record I do believe??? (But I can be wrong on that) but this is a way that Angelina showed respect to the Beatles,, If that was the case"THAT'S BRILLIANT" if you ask me,, 👣🌬🌎
Hi. I remember your extraordinary analysis of her cover of "The show must go on". Since then, i have waited for more analysis from you about Angelina Please react to “I’m still am holding out for you” (demo): ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html It was recorded one week before she turning 11. Some consider it to represent one of Angelina's best vocal performances. It would be important to know your criteria about that.
This, if released, should have been a #1 song. The story was that her mother wasn't comfortable with the ending, which implies suicide and the demo was not given to Baby Fuzz the song writer. He later released his own version. They obviously are ok with this being on the internet (or it wouldn't be). No one could deprive the world at this point. Remember she was age 10. Most of the photos of Angelina in the accompanying video show her older than when she recorded this. It is in my top 3 songs of hers, sometimes #1 depending on my mood. Everyone knows how hard it is to make up a top 10 Angelina list.
I thought that too,, but I did know that George Martin broke his leg/foot skiing and was pushed to the Studio and his apartment in a shopping cart and I believe he stayed above a convenience store or next to one,,, 👣
She’s 15 here. There is a book she wrote and was published at age 9 about why she doesn’t wear shoes while performing. I don’t know if it’s been translated to English or not, but the bottom line is that she has promised to not wear shoes until all little children in the world have shoes.
Hi DJ, it's so great to have you back to (15) Angie. (Here's why Angie performs barefoot from herself) Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min. Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) ruclips.net/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/видео.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction Also She did another interview at (13) at AGT-C & give's a little more reason why she performs barefoot & fills in some blanks about it from the interview when she was 9. ruclips.net/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/видео.html The theory on the orange set & her cramped in a shopping cart, is reflective of when things were simpler & mom pushing us around in a cart etc etc, Hence the song. Below this link will blow your mind for how she takes this fun song from Frank Sinatra. “You Make Me Feel So Young” cover by Frank Sinatra ruclips.net/video/MQN3ecsutLs/видео.html She’s 13. She did her hair & clothes in the era of the song. She's singing this in a type of duet style, this will really blow your mind. Her range in this song gets down into her low lower register into the 2nd octave. She sings both parts in this. (Male & Female)
When she was 6, she saw a poor girl "weighing people" to make a little money. Angelina was very drawn to her and she went and sat by her to talk to her. She found out the girl's parents were dead and she took care of her siblings. She wanted to be a doctor so that she could help people who got sick like her mother. She asked Angelina what SHE wanted to do and A said she wanted to sing for the whole world. A noticed the girl had no shoes and her feet were scarred and sore .. A took off her shoes and gave them to the girl . they fit perfectly. The girl told A that she would pray for her every day to have her wish of singing for the world come true. Angelina promised the girl that she would perform barefoot until all the children in the world had shoes. It is now ten years later and Angelina has continued to keep her promise ... she has also done many concerts to help feed and clothe poor children around the world. She has raised millions for donations for needy children. (not sure of amount but it is impressively high.) She did write a book about this event with the girl (she and her grandma illustrated it ..) and she became the youngest published author (9) in Norway.
If it can be done better, the only way you will see it is if Angelina does it. "My Funny Valentine" is an example. "Crazy" is another. Her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" has been bested by her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" done on her Christmas 2021 livestream.
Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: ruclips.net/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/видео.html ---- Mery has RUclips channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ruclips.net/channel/UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: ruclips.net/video/6p6iL989P_8/видео.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: ruclips.net/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/видео.html) ---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: ruclips.net/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/видео.html) ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield 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: ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ruclips.net/video/whH6fnKAooo/видео.html] [as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/9sYypd1yGR4/видео.html] ---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old.

I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]
Please notice how she geniously changed the perspektive in the text compaired to the original by The Beatles. Her text is using "I" instead of The Beatles using "she".
Angelina also has set of short and long covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. There happens to be several TikTok versions that there are also complete covers in studio setting. Some examples include following. ---- When You Believe (This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey. Song is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song. As 15-year old, Angelina sung Republic Records studio version: ruclips.net/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/видео.html.

Song itself refers to how she is ready to love again after her divorce and hints at her relationship with new boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul. As 15-year old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano sounds like recorded in studio rather than at home on cell phone: ruclips.net/video/PXbYrvP3v4I/видео.html) ---- Lost On You (This 2015 song is by American recording artist LP. It topped charts of thirteen countries. As 15-year-old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano leaves you to want more: ruclips.net/video/W1RN0nRK9Tk/видео.html) ---- Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (This 1961 song by Elvis Presley was on his Blue Hawaii album. Melody was based upon French love song “Plaisir d’amour” that was written in 1784. As 11-year old, Angelina recorded full version of song: ruclips.net/video/pBOoDXFdD70/видео.html.

Sir, first the bare feet. While in the Middle East in a town of higher altitude, in winter, she met a shoeless girl, scared feet, and weighing people for a few coins, begging is a criminal offence there. Angelina gave her her shoes and vowed to not wear shoes while performing until all children wear shoes, she was 6 years old. PLEASE read her book, you find it one her website. Angelina told last Christmas of an accident, she had in NYC at a fundraiser concert. She stepped barefoot in a mousetrap in a dark corner, hurting herself. So in a few videos around that time period, she does not touch the floor with her bare feet. Second. it´s just a set. They found it in a studio Downtown LA, they didn´t want to do her covers in the homestudio of Rob Christie. He also plays the piano for AJ. You stay safe and sound. German Greetings.
She always performs barefoot. When she was 6, she met a poor orphan girl in Asia and gave her the shoes she was wearing so the girl's feet could be warm. The story was documented in a 2015 book she wrote entitled: Mellom to hjerter (Between Two Hearts).
Angelina always sounds like a 45 year old woman with a broken heart who has drunk a pint of whiskey and smoked 2 packs of cigarettes every day for the last 25 years. She does the blues like she grew up at the knee of B.B. King. Amazing. On another note, you may want to check in on a new 4 man group from Korea called Freshella. They are decidedly not K-pop.
You have been missed of your reaction to AJ. And you have missing a couple of her latest cover, "Mercy" a soundtrack from the movie "Hating Game, a MJ cover "Billie Jean" in jazzy version and the latest "My funny Valentine. And now she is 16 years of age. Check it out.
What should we make of the shopping cart? Is it just a casually chosen handy prop or an item with significance which Angelina has thoughtfully arranged?
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): ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html] [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: ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html] [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ruclips.net/video/whH6fnKAooo/видео.html] [as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/9sYypd1yGR4/видео.html] ---- 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 RUclips: ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html) ---- 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: ruclips.net/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/видео.html] ---- 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: ruclips.net/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/видео.html) ---- 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: ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html]
One underrated cover from Angelina IMO is this one : ruclips.net/video/eml4tIAqWUY/видео.html I'll always love you when she was 12 with just a guitar and her microphone. One of the most emotional covers of this song I've ever heard.
I imagine that Angelina got tired of being called an "old soul" long ago because it is mentioned so often going back to her first NGT performance at seven. Angelina is only one of a few artists that can "wow" an audience without doing anything extreme like demonstrating an incredible range or belting really loudly or any of the other things most singers think they need to do to impress. She can do all of those "wow" things and occasionally does so when she thinks a song requires it but more often than not she just calmly sings with such feeling. There are songs where she barely raises her voice above a whisper and evokes more emotion than singers who are belting and throwing in all kinds of vocal gymnastics.
It's a set without a deep meaning. Affordable. Simple . Yesterday, and her version of Billie Jean, were done by her and her manager uncle Michael. They prepared 4 rooms of one color. You really should react to Billie Jean. She makes a Jazz version and makes it her own. She tells this in a way that you'll feel the words and understand the story. It's not just a song. She's a story teller. I've never heard the line "eyes like mine" the same way before. Like the baby looks just like him and implies that it probably really is his child that he is denying. Nice reaction 🍁
Please comment on AJ’s cover of “How Great Thou Art” which she sings completely in her lower register. In the style of Elvis but she goes lower than EP if you can believe that
There are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following. ---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: ruclips.net/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/видео.html] ---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 2018. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: ruclips.net/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/видео.html) ---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: ruclips.net/video/Nryuk21mXkQ/видео.html) ---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: ruclips.net/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/видео.html) ---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: ruclips.net/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/видео.html) ---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: ruclips.net/video/i0rSKumJE8s/видео.html) ---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: ruclips.net/video/8glJLHUd7uo/видео.html)
I'll let her speak for herself (short pre-show Interview): ruclips.net/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/видео.html There is some speculation, the color choice might be a homage to the color of the vinyl label of the original (which appaerently was orange). Its the multicolored set they used for Billy Jean, each room having a different color. This one felt a bit of an afterthought quickly recorded in the remaining time they had on the set to me, but I might be wrong. She was 15 in this video.
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.
It is so audacious of her to take iconic songs like this and sloooow them way down. I found it annoying at first until I slowed down my listening, then I got it.
Nothing wicked, ever about Angelina. Use respectful language here. She deserves that. All beautiful, clean and talent! Otherwise, I will un-subscribe from your channel, period. No crisis on the no shoes. She met a girl that was poor, had no shoes and loved Angelina's shoes. She took them off and handed them to the girl. The girl told Angelina she was going to pray for her. Angelina promised she would never wear shoes when performing and woyld see one day that every single human being had a pair of shoes to wear. ❤❤❤🙏🤗👸
She met a young homeless and shoeless girl when she was around 6. She gave her own favorite boots of her own feet. She vowed to never perform in shoes again to raise awareness of children in need. She also has raised millions of dollars for charities with her performances. As to the set/cart. I can only think the gist of it was remembering the comfort of young childhood when we rode in carts our parents pushed us in.
It's a peek into her mind, that part that's bean coloured in, indelibly so too speak.
Angelina was walking with her family one day and came upon a young girl her age (6) weighing people on a scale to make money. Angelina struck up a conversation with the young girl and they talked about their dreams for the future. The girl had no shoes on and Angelina noticed she had scars on her feet. Angelina took off her favorite shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl said she would pray for Angelina. Angelina vowed to never sing with shoes until all the world's children had them. To this day Angelina sings with no shoes to remember the girl, and as a way to draw attention to the plight of the less fortunate in society.
It was in the country of Iran, where grandma Meri is from.
@@I_scribbles She never said, where it was. We can assume, because of her speaking Farsi. But she always said, it could be everywhere...
@@markuss7249 I believe in the interview on Norwegian television for her book release the interviewer indicated it was Iran. Angelina agreed but interjected “it could have been anywhere “.
RIGHT
Angelina said in the interview that it was in the Middle East but it could be anywhere.
She has the ability to take any song and make it her own, while staying true to the original. She was studying old jazz singers from the time she was a blank slate.
its been suggested that sitinging in the cart is to remind us of the days of our childhood....when our mothers would take us shopping and push us around the supermarket in the trolley
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old !!!!
Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RUclips and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RUclips performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences.
Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history.
Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.
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 RUclips and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.
Her cover of My Funny Valentine is extraordinary
Thanks for a great reaction. I have listen to Angelina performing her version of this classic Beatles song dozens of times. Paul McCartney's lyrics were written and then sung expressing a dissolving relationship from the male perspective. Angelina changes that and places the focus on the relationship from the female perspective. It is a powerful and meaningful change and she does it with her usual flair. She sings "I'm not half the girl I used to be", "Why I hd to go , I don't know, he wouldn't say", "I said something wrong and now I long for yesterday". Each of those phrases, sung with emotion and angst, comes across so personalized...it almost brings me to tears every time I hear them. She has an unmatched ability to make every song her own and she does it in an extraordinary way with this classic.
Angelina is a genius at bringing out the emotional essence of a song, both in her musical arrangements and in her vocal mastery.
You're right, many people call her an old soul and she's just 15 in this video. Regular people as well as pros and famous people say she's already a seasoned singer/jazz singer. She's been getting these comments since she was a little girl! Best singer today in my humble opinion!
Nobody ever mentions the shadow that stands up and walks away. He's behind the bookshelf to her left. After she sings, There's a shadow hanging over me, he stands up when she sings suddenly. Great reaction! 🇺🇲😎👍🌟💯
She has been described as "the" old soul all other singers draw on. I have to agree with that statement.
She was highlighted as one of the best musical storyteller from her all star musicians at her Christmas online show last year. She arranged her songs since her winning NGT performances and is called with the nickname..The Boss in a lovely way for all of her musicians around. She knows and tells everyone how she wants to go with her Songs. A complete Artist 🎵✌️👍💃💞
I interpret the shopping cart & shop to represent her yesterday when she would go shopping with her family, & as with a lot of young kids, ride in the shopping cart. The song talks about a time of innocence & I think there is a message from her that perhaps the "grown up" world for her now has lost that.
While in the Middle East visiting relatives with her family (at a very young age), she saw a girl offering to weigh people in the street - no shoes, raising money to help her family. Angelina took hers off and gave them to the girl - decided from that moment would never wear shoes while performing until people like this didn't have to be shoeless
It's so nice to see you back. Angelina recorded this and Michael Jackson cover at a studio called the color crib in LA. I'm not sure if there is a significance to the shopping cart. It is part of the orange room at this location. Check out her Michael Jackson ""Billie Jean" for a multi color experience.. but very Angelina jazzy. So good!
So special that she can afford to do so little, with so little accompaniment, so slow and still sound so interesting and captivating! Less is more, I guess! With Angelina, that is!
Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California is playing the piano. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her.
Great to see you back with Angelina....long time. Love your reactions and comments always. Angelina possesses a vocal skill set the likes I have never heard in over 60+ years of listening to music. She captures you, captivates you and mesmerizes you in just the first few notes she sings. She puts her passion and soul into everything she performs and personally have to listen to Angelina every day, just makes my days better all the time. A few other vocal teachers that have listened to Angelina refer to her as a Master Class vocalist already. Just think, she is just 16 now and has been uploading a lot to her IG and TikTok and simply gets better and better almost on a daily basis...it is mind blowing how talented this young girl is. Hope to see you come back with more Angelina.
Lol
I’m getting a retro vibe of the set of an old school grocery store of “yesterday” instead of the new automated grocery stores we have today. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
About why she's barefoot: She wrote a children's book about it when she was 9 years old, and became Norway's youngest published author!
An English version is available from her web site as a digital download. Well worth $20. The thoughts she wrote in her diary at 6 years old are amazing. My guess is that intellectually. She is a genius. There is a video of her reading from the diary on a Norwegian talk show at 9 or 10.
This is the first time I've turned on your channel and I must say I'm very impressed with your honest critique. Your thought that someone who ventures into the world of music must do so with a genuine feeling of love for what they are doing is right on. It is their line of communication with their audience and without that the performer is only a shell. Angelina certainly scores a 100 in that department, deeply connecting with her audiences all over the world and their gender, age, color, religion are not distinguishable, they are as one, Angelina 'angels'.
You said that you have received hundreds of comments referencing Angelina. In fact, before hearing her sing a note you knew you were about to hear something very extraordinary. With 71K subscribers you have your hands full to keep everybody happy but I'm wondering if you have learned what she is all about personally. The soulful tone you hear is obviously something that cannot be taught. It's within her and when she sings it comes out in the form of love which touches people's hearts. Overly dramatic? No, not at all. Thousands (maybe millions) of people around the world have Angelina's love in their hearts and that love will never leave them.
I can give you an example of the affect Angelina has on people who listen to her sing. Because of who she is as a humble, kind, caring and loving human being and someone whose desire in life is to do what she can to make the world a better place to live for everyone, she actually inspires people to be the best they can be. She believes love is the absolute prerequisite to achieving harmony around the world. She sings 'for people', rather than to them and her object is to make them happy and feel the love in her heart.
You need only to walk up to an Angelina 'angel' and ask them the following question: "Are you a better person since you have discovered Angelina?" From my experience, they will pause for a second, then look up to me, and smile.
I don't know if you're still with me. I know I went on and on. But, I've taken this time to encourage you to find out more about her. If you don't know the story already, why she sings barefoot in public is a good start.
Thanks and I hope I see you do more Angelina Jordan reactions.
Thank you, Robert! Your comment has made me smile today and I really appreciate that! I hope you find more videos that you like on the channel and i'll see you soon!
@@TempleMusicAcademy
You may think Robert is an obsessive fan, but it is truth. Angelina’s angel’s are legion and will be the first to tell you they are better humans because of her. A six year old child has changed the life of hundreds of thousands maybe millions of people. There will be documentaries, movies and her music will be taught at universities across the world. You certainly should delve into this incredible human.
Angelina is flexing to the music executives that she can paint a room orange, sit in a shopping cart, and just barely sing and STILL crush and slay without shaking her bon-bons for attention.
Angelina doesnt just cover a song, she completes them.
that quivering vibrato kills me softly. I listened/watched this performance and always get reminded of my own "yesterday", when I pushed my kids in shopping carts around in the store parking lot. I truly miss those sweet moments.
You are doing right - a big screen for the artist and a small of your self👍🇧🇻
Whatever, I'm going to Angelina's concert on July 10 in Kongsberg, Norway🤗
The SUBJECT matter of the book she wrote is based on an experience she had in her travels. Walking down a road with her Grandma, she noticed some people gathered around a young girl, near her age. Angelina struck up a conversation, this girl had scarred cut up feet and earned money with her old scale, aspired to be a doctor, but having siblings and being an orphan, didn't think she'd be able. She asked Angelina what she wanted to, of course, she told her she wanted to be a superstar and sing for the world . The girl said she'd pray for her success.. and commented on Angelina's shoes, that they were very nice. So, she took the shoes off her feet and gave them to this girl, vowed she would perform barefoot in her honor and would until all the children in the world had shoes... Angelina has been a philanthropist since a very early age, and donates ALOT of $$ to these causes.. .her age when she was moved so greatly: 6 yrs old. And this is what makes Angelina so unique, in tune with emotions of every sort.. in that moment she didn't only feel sympathy, she SHOWED COMPASSION.. All this goodness is reflected in her talent, and what she wants to accomplish in life... Angelina is truly, one of a kind, her voice is one of a kind, her beauty is one of a kind ... Because these things come from her heart...
PEACE.
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this pretty norwegian girl (now 16 y old) is imo the best singer on this planet! 🤩
Great analysis and commentary. This young lady is a true artist. She has it all. Thanks.
This is one of my favorite songs of the Beatles. Angilina doesa great rendition. She doesn’t wear shoes when she performs. Because when started performing she encountered a child with no shoes. Angelina took her shoes off and gave them to the girl. To this time she performed barefooted to bring tribute to those with out shoes.
She has made a personal vow at 6 to always sing barefooted until all the children of the world have shoes after meeting a poor girl with no shoes
Very informative analysis and I look forward to more. Your question about Angelina and being barefoot is answered by many below. She came across a barefoot orphan girl with scarred feet when she was 6 years old in the Middle East. She befriended the girl and gave her her own shoes off her feet and they talked for a while after. Angelina vowed that she would never again wear shoes while performing as a tribute to all those less fortunate. But your question goes further. Angelina is a true humanitarian as she donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to children's charities. She also helped raise since then over 21 million dollars for children's charities and environmental causes. Her stated goal is to sing for the world to bring love and peace. Angelina is an old soul and a special one at that. We should all support values like this in our youth and reaction channels should do all they can to help this gift from above to achieve their goals. Thanks for what you do.
Welcome back to Angelina's content. I would love to see your take on her Billy Jean cover, in which she takes one of the biggest hits from the King of Pop and masterfully converts it to Jazz.

ANGELINA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent reaction and breakdown! Surprised you've only reacted to 4 of her songs in a year. You aware she has 161 Covers and 5 originals? She befriended a 7 year old, when she was 6 years old that was so poor she didn't have shoes and Angelina gave her shoes to her. The girl said she would pray for her and Angelina told her she will perform barefoot until all the children have shoes and to remind her of the little girl. She has a book she wrote and was published when she was 9 and available on her Official Channel about that experience. All proceeds go to Children's Charities, God Bless
No shoes when performing is to honor a little around her age of 6 years old girl she found on the street in a foreign place who was weighing people with a bathroom scale to support her and her orphan siblings and who had no shoes and scars on her feet. The girl admired Angelina's shoes so Angelina at just 6 years old took off her favorite shoes she was wearing and gave them to the girl.
Angelina then vowed to always perform barefoot to bring attention to those children who had no shoes, and Angelina has honored that vow for the past 9 years.
The shopping cart to me is a symbol of days past when she was small enough to actually fit and ride in a shopping cart and was a child who had no cares. , thus the song "Yesterday". "when all my troubles were far away"
She is quite the artist all around even in her settings for performing.

POP SINGER???
Hi William! Angelina is best known as a Jazz Singer and was 7 - 8 years old when performing on and winning Norway’s Got Talent. Best to double-check your facts when commenting where Angels tread! 😇
Pop singer? 🤣🤣 No.
Angelina 6 years old while traveling in Iran where her grandma is from , met a poor girl who didn’t have any shoes and the feet were sore , Angelina befriend the girl who was also 6 years old and in conversation the girl told Angelina her dreams for the future, Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and vowed never to wear shoes until all the children in the world have shoes! How Amazing is that from someone so young!
Since this was recorded during the hight of the whole covid thing my immediate reaction to the set coupled with the song itself was to think she was speaking about pre-covid life and showing post-covid life. The shopping cart may or may not be associated with shortages, but to me it definitely expressed being confined. There has been a lot of ideas from fans interpreting this set, but I haven't seen anything from Angelina herself. It's just a mind boggler.
This video was made by Angelina & her maternal uncle/business manager, Michael Astar, for her YT Cover Channel, not for her record label, Republic Records. There are monochromatic rooms of different colors at a studio in LA. So they rent the studio, she brings her own mic & a karaoke track sits in the shopping cart & sings all scrunched up (6'1" tall) while Michael records & edits it. Done! They did the same thing with her "cover" of Michael Jackson's iconic pop song, Billie Jean, except they used 3 different colored rooms & she switches back & forth while she sings in her "new" jazzy/pop style. We now have 2 Masterpiece versions of that song. Her arrangement skills are genius & she's been doing it since she was 8, maybe younger. Here's the link for that. ruclips.net/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/видео.html
She is a damn good story teller
This is the vision of one of the young producer AJ is working with, she is supposed to be a basket case to emphasize the emotion she really feels while singing this song. She is 15 at this performance.
The set up is her YESTERDAY, being young she refers to shopping with her mother.
Did you know that Angelina plays the guitar, violin, flute, and piano and also paints? She also sings in at least 3 languages.
My goodness it has been awhile since you reacted to Angelina. Appears you have been busy and best of luck on Twitch (a better platform for livestreaming). We angels have been busy too while we continue to be patient, waiting for when Angelina's family feels the time is right to have Republic Records promote her. We have been suggesting to reaction channels to go beyond their wonderful reactions in supporting the artist. Thanks for providing links to the original video and to her Official RUclips channel. Sadly, few people read the description so please verbally encourage viewers to use those links to boost the analytics for the artist. It has become a movement, with well over 100 channels now implementing these simple suggestions and some going further, including links to the artist's social media. Fans of the artist love the support and are more likely to sub to your channel. Much love.
I'm totally on board Andy. Many of the reactors I have worked with on this issue have implemented the suggestions and find that their channel is growing more quickly. The main reason is that the fans appreciate what the reactor is doing. And of course the biggest part is that it's helping the artist with their algorithm and their career. Some of the reactors are also using text boxes and banners on their screen to encourage viewers to utilize the artist links provided. Thanks for sharing this information with as many reactors as possible, and also the viewers
set is in monochrome yellow…like old vintage photos from….yesterday….also vintage props from another era…
Thanks for the informative reaction.. Considering that she is over 6 feet tall that must be a huge cart. I think that is the same set she use for the jazzy cover of Billie Jean which I highly recommend.. Ray Charles sang Yesterday, I believe before the Beatles because my copy is vinyl. It is solid blues/jazz. You might enjoy it.
👍👍
My belief on the scenery of this video was in 1965 when this song was written and recorded George Martin broke his leg/foot skiing in the Alps so they had to push George in a shopping cart back an forth from the Studio and the apartment that he was staying,,, the orange color was the label color of the record I do believe??? (But I can be wrong on that) but this is a way that Angelina showed respect to the Beatles,,
If that was the case"THAT'S BRILLIANT" if you ask me,,
👣🌬🌎
Hi. I remember your extraordinary analysis of her cover of "The show must go on". Since then, i have waited for more analysis from you about Angelina Please react to “I’m still am holding out for you” (demo): ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html
It was recorded one week before she turning 11. Some consider it to represent one of Angelina's best vocal performances. It would be important to know your criteria about that.
This, if released, should have been a #1 song. The story was that her mother wasn't comfortable with the ending, which implies suicide and the demo was not given to Baby Fuzz the song writer. He later released his own version. They obviously are ok with this being on the internet (or it wouldn't be). No one could deprive the world at this point. Remember she was age 10. Most of the photos of Angelina in the accompanying video show her older than when she recorded this. It is in my top 3 songs of hers, sometimes #1 depending on my mood. Everyone knows how hard it is to make up a top 10 Angelina list.
I love to see her do her Christmas album of all the greats that Mike you can hear her breathing and I think she really likes it
The label on the original vinyl record was yellow and orange. :)
I thought that too,, but I did know that George Martin broke his leg/foot skiing and was pushed to the Studio and his apartment in a shopping cart and I believe he stayed above a convenience store or next to one,,,

She’s 15 here. There is a book she wrote and was published at age 9 about why she doesn’t wear shoes while performing. I don’t know if it’s been translated to English or not, but the bottom line is that she has promised to not wear shoes until all little children in the world have shoes.
Hi DJ, it's so great to have you back to (15) Angie. (Here's why Angie performs barefoot from herself) Angelina gives a short little interview when she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html
during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min.
Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9) ruclips.net/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/видео.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction
Also She did another interview at (13) at AGT-C & give's a little more reason why she
performs barefoot & fills in some blanks about it from the interview when she was 9. ruclips.net/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/видео.html
The theory on the orange set & her cramped in a shopping cart, is reflective of when things were simpler & mom pushing us around in a cart etc etc, Hence the song.
Below this link will blow your mind for how she takes this fun song from Frank Sinatra.
“You Make Me Feel So Young” cover by Frank Sinatra ruclips.net/video/MQN3ecsutLs/видео.html
She’s 13. She did her hair & clothes in the era of the song. She's singing this in a type of
duet style, this will really blow your mind. Her range in this song gets down into her low
lower register into the 2nd octave. She sings both parts in this. (Male & Female)
When she was 6, she saw a poor girl "weighing people" to make a little money. Angelina was very drawn to her and she went and sat by her to talk to her. She found out the girl's parents were dead and she took care of her siblings. She wanted to be a doctor so that she could help people who got sick like her mother. She asked Angelina what SHE wanted to do and A said she wanted to sing for the whole world. A noticed the girl had no shoes and her feet were scarred and sore .. A took off her shoes and gave them to the girl . they fit perfectly. The girl told A that she would pray for her every day to have her wish of singing for the world come true. Angelina promised the girl that she would perform barefoot until all the children in the world had shoes.
It is now ten years later and Angelina has continued to keep her promise ... she has also done many concerts to help feed and clothe poor children around the world. She has raised millions for donations for needy children. (not sure of amount but it is impressively high.)
She did write a book about this event with the girl (she and her grandma illustrated it ..) and she became the youngest published author (9) in Norway.
👍👍💙💙💙
Please check her Mikael Jackson jazzy cover of « Billie Jean »… insane.
A.J. was 15 yo when this was taped.
If it can be done better, the only way you will see it is if Angelina does it. "My Funny Valentine" is an example. "Crazy" is another. Her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" has been bested by her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" done on her Christmas 2021 livestream.
Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: ruclips.net/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/видео.html
---- Mery has RUclips channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ruclips.net/channel/UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz
---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: ruclips.net/video/6p6iL989P_8/видео.html
There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery:
---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: ruclips.net/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/видео.html)
---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: ruclips.net/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/видео.html)
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield 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: ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ruclips.net/video/whH6fnKAooo/видео.html]
[as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/9sYypd1yGR4/видео.html]
---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: ruclips.net/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/видео.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: ruclips.net/video/N0yK_07a1_U/видео.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: ruclips.net/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/видео.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: ruclips.net/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/видео.html)
[Studio video was created by Stargate who is top shelf record producing and songwriting team (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) that is now based in Los Angeles. Team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. They have won 4 Grammy Awards and been nominated 17 times. Besides Angelina, they have produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others]
[Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said.]
[Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared]
[Angelina said that studio video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s paintings as background: ruclips.net/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/видео.html. Audio only: ruclips.net/video/2D9qvBfx47s/видео.html. Official music video: ruclips.net/video/XA1_CUaM52I/видео.html. You reacted on December 31, 2020 to studio live performance)
[Angelina said "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]
Please notice how she geniously changed the perspektive in the text compaired to the original by The Beatles.
Her text is using "I" instead of The Beatles using "she".
Angelina also has set of short and long covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. There happens to be several TikTok versions that there are also complete covers in studio setting. Some examples include following.
---- When You Believe (This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey. Song is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song. As 15-year old, Angelina sung Republic Records studio version: ruclips.net/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/видео.html. As 16-year old, Angelina sung TikTok version: ruclips.net/video/Pue8y9avttI/видео.html)
---- House Of The Rising Sun (Song originally was traditional folk song from 1930s. Most famous version is by British rock band The Animals in 1964 when it became #1 hit. As 16-year old, Instagram version by Angelina with her playing electric guitar: ruclips.net/video/VQsRqVexLCI/видео.html)

---- Fields Of Gold (One of most famous songs by Sting that was written in 1993. Not big commercial success, this modern ballad has been covered by many artists. As 15 year-old, TikTok version by Angelina with simple guitar is wonderful: ruclips.net/video/4WwJHHxxHVk/видео.html)
---- Love Is A Game (This is on Adele’s 30 album released in late 2021 following her divorce from Simon Konecki. Song itself refers to how she is ready to love again after her divorce and hints at her relationship with new boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul. As 15-year old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano sounds like recorded in studio rather than at home on cell phone: ruclips.net/video/PXbYrvP3v4I/видео.html)
---- Lost On You (This 2015 song is by American recording artist LP. It topped charts of thirteen countries. As 15-year-old, TikTok version by Angelina with piano leaves you to want more: ruclips.net/video/W1RN0nRK9Tk/видео.html)
---- Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (This 1961 song by Elvis Presley was on his Blue Hawaii album. Melody was based upon French love song “Plaisir d’amour” that was written in 1784.

As 16-year old, Angelina posted on TikTok her singing song at night in her room sounding studio quality, and is one of best covers of song you will ever hear: ruclips.net/video/Vjc0riTGiGU/видео.html)
Sir, first the bare feet. While in the Middle East in a town of higher altitude, in winter, she met a shoeless girl, scared feet, and weighing people for a few coins, begging is a criminal offence there.
Angelina gave her her shoes and vowed to not wear shoes while performing until all children wear shoes, she was 6 years old. PLEASE read her book, you find it one her website. Angelina told last Christmas of an accident, she had in NYC at a fundraiser concert. She stepped barefoot in a mousetrap in a dark corner, hurting herself. So in a few videos around that time period, she does not touch the floor with her bare feet. Second. it´s just a set. They found it in a studio Downtown LA, they didn´t want to do her covers in the homestudio of Rob Christie. He also plays the piano for AJ. You stay safe and sound. German Greetings.
She always performs barefoot. When she was 6, she met a poor orphan girl in Asia and gave her the shoes she was wearing so the girl's feet could be warm.
The story was documented in a 2015 book she wrote entitled: Mellom to hjerter (Between Two Hearts).
❤️
Angelina always sounds like a 45 year old woman with a broken heart who has drunk a pint of whiskey and smoked 2 packs of cigarettes every day for the last 25 years. She does the blues like she grew up at the knee of B.B. King. Amazing. On another note, you may want to check in on a new 4 man group from Korea called Freshella. They are decidedly not K-pop.
You have been missed of your reaction to AJ. And you have missing a couple of her latest cover, "Mercy" a soundtrack from the movie "Hating Game, a MJ cover "Billie Jean" in jazzy version and the latest "My funny Valentine. And now she is 16 years of age. Check it out.
What should we make of the shopping cart? Is it just a casually chosen handy prop or an item with significance which Angelina has thoughtfully arranged?
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): ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html]

[as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ruclips.net/video/whH6fnKAooo/видео.html]

---- 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 RUclips: ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html)
---- 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: ruclips.net/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/видео.html]
---- 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: ruclips.net/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/видео.html)
---- 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: ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html]
One underrated cover from Angelina IMO is this one : ruclips.net/video/eml4tIAqWUY/видео.html I'll always love you when she was 12 with just a guitar and her microphone. One of the most emotional covers of this song I've ever heard.
She is barefoot until all children of the world have shoes
I imagine that Angelina got tired of being called an "old soul" long ago because it is mentioned so often going back to her first NGT performance at seven. Angelina is only one of a few artists that can "wow" an audience without doing anything extreme like demonstrating an incredible range or belting really loudly or any of the other things most singers think they need to do to impress. She can do all of those "wow" things and occasionally does so when she thinks a song requires it but more often than not she just calmly sings with such feeling. There are songs where she barely raises her voice above a whisper and evokes more emotion than singers who are belting and throwing in all kinds of vocal gymnastics.
It's a set without a deep meaning. Affordable. Simple . Yesterday, and her version of Billie Jean, were done by her and her manager uncle Michael. They prepared 4 rooms of one color. You really should react to Billie Jean. She makes a Jazz version and makes it her own. She tells this in a way that you'll feel the words and understand the story. It's not just a song. She's a story teller. I've never heard the line "eyes like mine" the same way before. Like the baby looks just like him and implies that it probably really is his child that he is denying. Nice reaction 🍁
Very very old soul
Please comment on AJ’s cover of “How Great Thou Art” which she sings completely in her lower register. In the style of Elvis but she goes lower than EP if you can believe that
Please put the original video link in the description so the artist (Angelina Jordan here) gets direct views. Thanks.
There are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following.
---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: ruclips.net/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/видео.html]
---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 2018. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: ruclips.net/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/видео.html)
---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: ruclips.net/video/Nryuk21mXkQ/видео.html)
---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: ruclips.net/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/видео.html)
---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: ruclips.net/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/видео.html)
---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: ruclips.net/video/i0rSKumJE8s/видео.html)
---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: ruclips.net/video/8glJLHUd7uo/видео.html)
I'll let her speak for herself (short pre-show Interview): ruclips.net/video/t4LsdNMX_-0/видео.html
There is some speculation, the color choice might be a homage to the color of the vinyl label of the original (which appaerently was orange). Its the multicolored set they used for Billy Jean, each room having a different color. This one felt a bit of an afterthought quickly recorded in the remaining time they had on the set to me, but I might be wrong.
She was 15 in this video.
She was 14
Check out the video Billie Jean Angelina Jordan
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.
It is so audacious of her to take iconic songs like this and sloooow them way down. I found it annoying at first until I slowed down my listening, then I got it.
Nothing wicked, ever about Angelina. Use respectful language here. She deserves that. All beautiful, clean and talent! Otherwise, I will un-subscribe from your channel, period. No crisis on the no shoes. She met a girl that was poor, had no shoes and loved Angelina's shoes. She took them off and handed them to the girl. The girl told Angelina she was going to pray for her. Angelina promised she would never wear shoes when performing and woyld see one day that every single human being had a pair of shoes to wear. ❤❤❤🙏🤗👸
It is possible that she sits in a cart because she is a product to be sold. Although I do not find her that cynical.
She is depecting simplicity.
STOP SAYING THE WORD WICKED. ITS DISGUSTING AND EVIL. ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL UNSUBSCRIBE.
Wicked.
Utterly Wicked! Well said! @Enrietta Lee don't focus on the adjectives used, it was positive. Dude couldn't have been praising her more.
