That interview always brings a tear to my eyes. Watched and read subtitles then rewatched seeing Angelina’s expressions and demeanor. Such a precious child. Agree, protect at all costs
7 years ago a video showed up in my youtube page randomly. It was the barefoot angel singing "bang bang." I fell in love with that voice. Not long after I found the shoe story. To say this girl holds my heart is an understatement.
Britt, you were very moved by this video and you took all of us on your trip with her. Her poise, confidence and maturity at 9 and 10 years old is remarkable and, personally, to me she is a Messenger of Love.
Talking to an audience in Norwegian (her 1st language) as the youngest ever published author in her country, regarding a book she wrote about a conversation in Farsi (her 2nd language) she had with a girl in the middle east and then singing a song in English (her 3rd language) - it's indeed not a common thing to do for a girl at age 9.
😉 "Not a common thing to do for a girl at age 9" is a huge understatement, but yes, you are correct. And to think that she also speaks some Japanese because of her Grandfather, and some Swedish because of her dad is way more than impressive.
@@JockeSwedenGeek I remember her TV interview in late 2014 where she mixed some Swedish terms into her answers so the TV host had to translate them into Norwegian. Interesting detail, apparently they were visiting her paternal grandparents during the Christmas holidays. I didn't know that both languages are so different, I got the impression that speakers of both sides can at least understand each other. I also remember short interviews on Swedish television, as well as a charity gala in Stockholm, where the host asked his questions in Swedish and Angelina answered in Norwegian.
She has indeed been declared a National Treasure by the Norwegian population and heads of government after she won Norway's Got Talent. The book she wrote at 9 yrs old is beautiful and made her the youngest published author in Norway's history. From the mouths of babes...
Thanks for taking the time to share this mesmerizing interview with Angelina & a shortened version of her cover of Unchained Melody (made famous by The Righteous Brothers in the mid 1960's). To hear a young girl be able to express her deep feelings & angelic thoughts much better than most adults is truly remarkable & a real blessing for us listeners. Always look forward to your Angelina reactions. Highly recommend one of Angelina's original songs - Million Miles - which she wrote & performed as a tribute to her late grandfather (& it was her 1st release with Republic records after signing with them at age 14.) There are several versions available: animated lyrics, music video & live in studio. I believe the live in studio is the best.Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you, Greg. Angelina performed Million Miles during her concerts in Norway last summer. She slowed it down and extended that last belt, which surprised and blew everyone away who were there. The Angelina Jordan Fan Club - The Shield posted it: Angelina Jordan (16) - Million Miles - Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord, Norway - July 10th, 2022. This version is worth reacting to!
She has a God given voice, I agree with you she's definitely an old soul inside her and we're blessed to experience it and enjoy the journey with you, Thank You Ma'am and hope you have a blessed day 🙏
Well worth watching, especially due to the interview... However she sang this song again when she was 11 or 12 that is much improved. Mostly due to the new skills she developed between the 2 performances.
Great reaction Britt. What a gift of a child. One that not only expresses thru music but that also shows you through an act. Angelina is singing about a love story spiritual in content. At the end of the song she looks up as if she was communicating. There is so much innocence in her.
Angelina was 9 in this interview just after the release of her book. But the thing that amazes me the most, was she was reading her beautiful cursive handwriting that she wrote when she was 6. She talked to the girl in Farsi, which she learned from her Iranian Artist/Poet grandma, Mery Zamini, who also illustrated the book. I don't believe in reincarnation, but I sure believe in prodigy children & Angelina hit the jackpot with genetics & an extraordinary nurturing family with the financial means to provide everything she needed. Imagine if Angelina was the poor girl with no parents or shoes. I shutter to think about it!
Your reaction to the interview and also the song was similar to most who see it for the first time. I saw it two years ago and it brought tears to my eyes, especially when she read from her diary. I could not believe what I was hearing from a 9-year-old, and to this day it still brings a tear to my eye when I hear it. Britt, I have messaged you a couple of times about supporting the artist, in this case Angelina. It is not only the experience of giving away her shoes that touches people. When Angelina was seven, she stated that her lifelong goal was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. I believe that wholeheartedly. Angelina deserves all the help and promotion that we can give her as the world now needs what she brings. Please help boost her algorithm on RUclips by providing links to her original videos (thank you) and official channels, and watching till the end, liking, commenting, sharing, and subscribing to her channels. Support Angelina yourself and direct your viewers to your description to do the same. Of course you can do the same for your own channel. This helps boost the algorithms for both of you and you both deserve that recognition. Thanks for what you do.
A six year old having such compassion for other individuals amazing . now aged 17 and as we all have , will make mistakes as she grows into adulthood , but we should not be over harsh with any criticism , she is not a Saint just a special human with a special talent.
Well said Tom! Like everyone, I worry about how much she’s affected, but I also worry about the effect of a lifetime of adulation. There’s only so much anybody, even the most humble can absorb unscathed. I actually hope she doesn’t read too much of our praise.
@@danspicks Thanks for your reply, I'm a relatively new fan of ANGELINA perhaps just over a year ,but I was hooked from when I first came across " bohemian rhapsody " and have since soaked everything up like a sponge, you make a good point of over adulation it worries me also and to be honest some of ANGELINAS decisions/ choices relatively recently have surprised me , I would had advised her differently but that's not my place that's for those around her .as I've said she will make mistakes but I hope ANGELINA and those around her learn from those mistakes.
Yeah angelina is a real angel, so wise what she is speaking and doing, its crazy and what a vocal performance, heaven on earth. Such a gorgeous diva, unbelievebel. Britt i love your beautiful reactions to angelina, wooooow 😊
She's great writing skills at a very early Age. The Story is unbelievable beautiful written. How she was able to write this as a young child with so much passion for others 🙂 I am happy to got one of the last hardcopies. A beautiful Artwork with the illustration of her grandma. It's also available in English as an ebook on her website. A must have for all Fans to understand her amazing songwriter skills ✌️I am sure we will well surprised with her new Album. Rob Christie is very proud of her. He talks at her birthday party 🎵👍🎈
She asked the little girl she met, What do you want to be when you grow up? The little girl said, "I want to be a DR" The little girl asked Angelina, What do you want to be? Angelina said "I want to be a singing star" She then told the little girl, "I will never wear shoes singing until I am a Star and you are a DR"
When you watch Norway's Got Talent and see her audition you will notice her mother Sara crying. She said later that at that moment she knew she was giving Angelina to the world. Her family clearly recognizes what she is and diligently watches over her. Yet even they can be seen at times with that same amazement you and fans like me have. This is not your average pop star. She is valuable whether singing or not (although l think she must sing all the time). An international treasure with a flock of Angels out there to protect this gift to the world. Well done.
Angelina has a loving family, and now a studio, watching over her and taking care of her. But, just in case we're needed, she has thousands of "grandparents" around the world willing and able to come to aid. Many of us have watched her grow up, and she really has a special place in our hearts. She is a special young woman.
Not many reactors do both back to back despite my many requests , so pleased you did this thanks.edit I'm not sure this was my request though as I've made so many.
She is truly an angel, and when she looks at the staircase to heaven, she is looking at where she came from. And you are right, she must be protected at all costs. I pray for Angelina and her family every day.
Great choice for your very nice reaction, Britt. This interview video has always been one of the sweetest moments of Angelina's public appearances, her naturalness, her shyness, her adorable convictions, are a kind of manifesto of human beauty, at only 9 she already had ideas precise about what she wanted and about her positions as an empathic child. It's always a pleasure to see her again and even Unchained Melody's version of her is simply magical. Plus her book from her diaries is just adorable.💛🧡❤
And she was 6 when she did this, wrote this, and committed herself to the path of a humble barefoot angel. While I do not believe in reincarnation, I do believe that she was given such an inspiration. She wrote that her heart was opened up and filled with lots of light. She then climbed the stairs that opened from her heart up to her from heaven. I know where Angelina's inspiration comes from because she just told us. Several times in the intervening years, she has said that when she sings, she goes away to a place where the music is and that it's an endless and happy place.
Wonderful reaction. When the host asked Angelina if this happened in the Middle East Angelina said yes but it could have been anywhere in the world. That simple answer shows her compassion and knowledge of the poverty situation.
Great point.. it struck me the same way... The depth of her awareness is stunning and inspirational... There is hope for todays children... Obviously, it's grown and fostered at home... Not a guarantee, but one strong foundation upon which to build..
Nice comments, Britt. Her comment about a vision of a stairway to heaven (4:20 in the video) was on page 27 of the book, with a beautiful illustration that I scanned for the Community tab of my channel. Angelina was six years old when she wrote those words in her diary. She was in Tehran, Iran with her grandmother.
Contemplate that the words you read were written after returning to where she was staying after meeting the girl in the street. They talked for around an hour in the cold while her mother and grandmother waited for her. The words were written by a six year old. Buy her book. I cried while reading and still do at age eighty.
It is often mentioned how deep, insightful and - yes - beyond her years her thoughts were at such a very young age. What keeps baffling me is the fact that everyone seems to take it for granted that a 6 year old would WRITE her own thoughts in her own diary. I remember that she reported (in another TV interview) that she stepped on that bathroom scale several times to make the girl feel better and that she took off her shoes to keep the scale clean.
It really is so hard to comprehend how mature and caring a person Angelina is, she is a very deep thinker, she wrote those feelings down when she was 6, WHAAAT!!! Every time I see this interview I just about lose it and start bawling like a baby. thx Britt
She is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven. And a pray that being in the music industry does not ruin her.. the barefoot princess is truly a gift sent from God.
You are one of my favorite new reactors. Thank you again for reacting to yet another song from our angel. The interview she did revealed her heart so well and I appreciate your helping to open more eyes to her. Please keep doing reactions, as your beautiful heart fits in so well with our group of angels. Very warm reaction from a warm-hearted person. Thank you and I look forward to your next one.
Really love your perspective as a parent, Britt. Crazy good reaction, as always! BTW you'll love AJ's cover of Michael Jackson's "Heal the World" when she was 15: ruclips.net/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/видео.html
Britt, this video was a great way to begin my RUclips day. I have enjoyed your reactions to Angelina so much, I had to make the donation to have you watch this interview from when she was 9 years old. Her diary entry was written, obviously, right after the encounter when she was 6 years old. We are truly blessed to be alive at the same time as Angelina Jordan Astar. Hard to imagine you don't know "Unchained Melody". You absolutely need to react to the most popular version by the Righteous Brothers as any reaction to that gets mega views (do a search and see for yourself). Angelina sang it again a few years later and of course improved and sang the entire song. I get more emotional listening to this version, probably due to the connection with the interview. Awhile back, Angelina's team told her angels (fans) through her fan clubs that they believed reaction videos were hurting her RUclips analytics. Certainly if we spend time watching reactions, then we can't spend as much time watching the original videos. We enjoy reaction videos and have suggested reactors always encourage viewers to use the link provided to watch, like and comment on the original video. This way both the artist and the reactor win. Angelina would want you to do so for each aspiring artist you feature. Peace out.
Love this interview and your reaction to it! I don’t think I truly realized how remarkable she is until I came across this interview and realized she was keeping a journal and recording such inspiring remarks prior to Norway’s Got Talent. What 6 or 7 year old does that? She has been blessed and her voice gives her the platform to share that with us.
Still love this performance and along with the interview, showcases our Angel for those who want to learn where she comes from, both spirituality and "Between Two Hearts." Let's go to age 12. Another interview on Norwegian TV where Angelina talks about her orginal song Shield and the meaning of the song. The interview starts off in Norwegian (no subtitles) but very quickly switches to English. After the interview, Angelina sings her song Shield. Once again, so looking forward to your reaction on this and again, you will be amazed. The two links are below in order. Interview ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html Shield ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html
Keep in mind that even though Angelina is 9 years old in the interview - she was reading a diary entry she wrote when she was only 6 years old - amazing writing skill for that age.
When I first read her book, I was just floored! It felt almost as if I had the wind knocked out of me. The profound thoughts she expressed at 6 years old are just mind boggling. She is without doubt the most beautiful soul I have ever experienced in my life.
Do you want to hear her original song she wrote when she was 11 or. Please, it's so beautiful. It's a honor to her family being so patient with her carrier. The songs name is SHIELD 🛡 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Britt, what a beautiful reaction and start to my day! You got it. You truly got it. For a 6 yo to articulate, in writing, her feelings and story, and then at age 9 write the book with the encouragement of a family friend who is an author and her grandmother who illustrated it. Her intelligence, musical and otherwise, has been nurtured. I'm so happy to witness the emergence of this Light, this talent, this wonderful human. Have the day you deserve, Britt---full of beauty. Love, Grandma Ellen
Angelina was born who was a genius. The best description of her was given by reactor Gianni Bravo Ska: "She was born a butterfly and every day she adds a magnificent color to her wings".
Britt, when you said, “She needs to be protected at all costs.” it made me smile because I have uttered that exact same sentence, word-for-word, several times. I believe that Angelina is a gift to mankind from God and to be on earth at this time, during all of the geopolitical craziness going in the world to spread peace, love and joy through her music. When feel the profound affect of Angelina’s voice connect to our hearts and souls I say that’s God speaking to us through his angel, Angelina.
hi theblaster54.i agree with you completely.a child/teenager/young woman like angelina jordan, especially at this time when we are facing the greatest existential crisis and challenge,that can't be a coincidence.i'm over 60 now,but a child like angelina has not been there in my time. god protect them.
It gets me every time when I hear her, as a child herself, say, "I care very much about children"! That's an amazing statement of empathy, awareness, understanding, and compassion coming from a 9-year old who is typically in the "Me, Myself, and I" stage of life.
so humble so polite so tslented snd appreciative and always talks about being blessed. when angelina travels she visits cultural centers and museums. an excellent student and skipped 6th grade. mother teaches at the japanese school in oslo and grandmother has a masters in psychology in addition to being a child prodigy at 9 - painter artist poet and author...angelina has inherited all these traits...
The depth of her inner life at this age is remarkable. If all our children grew up in this way, we'd have a better world. Thanks so much for showing this interview, Britt!
She did an interview in 2014 with TV4 Sweden. Swedish an Norwegian are similar enough and evidently to each other sound more like dialects than different languages .. fascinating to me .. ruclips.net/video/mLoUO7sNCAY/видео.html
Hi Edward! The interview video you posted for us is very good! I thought I had seen everything like this before and I didn't! This was new and interesting, thank you very much!!))
"I'm just an ordinary girl," she once said . Ha! Nothing ordinary about her! Her timing here was perfect, and her voice was like heaven. Long may she sing!
Notice how she answers the question about giving the girl her shoes. She doesn’t make some virtue signaling proclamation. The interviewer has to almost pull it out of her. She has to whisper it to the host three times to be understood. She’s just so humble beyond belief. At 9. And six when she had the encounter. I’m so grateful her family has protected her the way they have. She is a rare jewel to be sure.
Thanks Britt for your amazingly insightful AJ reactions, i just subscribed. Yes, she is an an old soul who has been here before. One song related to that which I would love to hear Angelina sing is Teena Marie's "Deja Vu - I've been here before" ruclips.net/video/hqSY3mbt2TY/видео.html
AJ speaks several languages: Angelina’s nationality She is Norwegian, she speaks Norwegian, Japanese, Iranian, and English. Her original grandfather is Japanese, and her grandmother is Iranian. Her father is Swedish. You can see all of these nationalities in her looks. (Just wait till you hear her sing in Japanese!
Lady "B"...we lucked out w/you watching this interview.. straight from Angelina herself... The reason she performs barefoot tribute, and how it came to be had been shared SOOOO many times inaccurately.. the excerpt from her diary is the final stamp, PERIOD. There's not doubt this child is a PRODIGY, gifted by God because her heart merits and understands the responsibility of using it for good, not gain. The influence of those closest to her in her family is laid bare before us.. and we're ALL wanting this child, this Angel, this gift to be watched over, protected, encouraged and loved.. that's our lot in being a fan, a surrogate parent, sibling, a person who wants her to bloom safely.. Since God gave her to us, she'll benefit by us asking Him for her protection; that the LIGHT always shine. Loved your reaction, BR, brilliant observations, articulated beautifully... PEACE & BLESSINGS 🙏🏻🎤🎹🎺🎷🎶🎶🎼🎵🎙️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your many reactions to Angelina. I have two suggestions. First, for your daughter and yourself buy a digital copy of her book, between two hearts, from her web site, $20. The words, of a 6 year old and artwork of her grand mother are amazing. Secondly,, listen to her interview on Tv2 on the show Slovian when she was 12 and the song she performed after the interview. The song is Shield which she wrote about hop her family protects her. You will be amazed one more time
@@rogerherbst6978 A good recommendation for everyone who has seen this interpretation of Unchained Melody and thinks that there can't be a more touching and beautiful performance. Here’s the link ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html There is also a short interview just before her performance, not as in-depth this time, but also very interesting and insightful. ruclips.net/video/NHP05szrixg/видео.html
@@paulwagner9303 Yes, Paul. Thanks. Notice the sparkle in her eyes, her confidence, poise, and maturity during the interview. And then that smile! Her rooftop "Everytime We Say Goodbye" is my all time favorite performance of Angelina, and I still revisit it often as I have for years.
Try singing this song! Really! This is just one more extremely difficult songs she tackles. That feeling of "She has to be protected" is the hand of God! It's that overwhelming feeling we all get, because we all agree, yet are uncomfortable saying "She is"! I have no doubt, history & her will be written! What that is I don't know? Based on her effects on us, It should be big!
One more suggestion, as a reaction read the book and comment on what you are reading. For copywrite reasons you should probably only show a few pages of the artwork. I don't think that anyone has ever reacted to the book and I have watched thousands of reactions. As luck would have it her 2014 audition showed up on my RUclips feed shortly after the audition and I have been addicted for nearly 8 years.
I am a helicopter pilot. There's a saying in my community. There's "by the book" then there's "reality". AJ understands the difference! Only experience gets you there
Angelina Jordan (born Angelina Jordan Astar; 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video 300 million views online and brought her worldwide press coverage at the age of 7 She went on to win the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl and giving her shoes to her. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
Britt I have watched many of your reaction videos. I am a huge fan of yours. Your a National Treasure too and should be protected at all costs. One of a kind. Thank you so much for sharing your heart. ♥ Go and have the life you deserve.
Your so right Britt. (She was 9 here.She was 6 when the incident happened and wrote it in her diary). She’s a world treasure that needs protection. The entertainment industry sees her as the goose that lays the golden egg. Her family is protective of her. But as her fans we need to add the special extra layer against the industry and those who would try and brain wash her into things that would slowly take away her innocents and or turn her into some (used as a metaphor) green haired sjw, here today gone tomorrow flash in the pan pop singer or entertainer. She’s a God given blessing to us in these end of the end days time. 🙏
Hello, so exciting, not only Angelina moved me singing, but also her interpretation, her examples, when reading and listening to her in an interview, I am going to leave you a video, of a super exciting talk between the Poet and Writer Erling Kittelsen, a friend of the family and Angelina Jordan, talking about her encounter with the barefoot girl, it is in these interviews where one learns from her, greetings and thank you very much for the reaction ruclips.net/video/6p6iL989P_8/видео.html
Here's a hymn that expresses these truths: 1. O my Father, thou that dwellest In the high and glorious place, When shall I regain thy presence And again behold thy face? In thy holy habitation, Did my spirit once reside? In my first primeval childhood Was I nurtured near thy side?
2. For a wise and glorious purpose Thou hast placed me here on earth And withheld the recollection Of my former friends and birth; Yet ofttimes a secret something Whispered, “You’re a stranger here,” And I felt that I had wandered From a more exalted sphere.
3. I had learned to call thee Father, Thru thy Spirit from on high, But, until the key of knowledge Was restored, I knew not why. In the heav’ns are parents single? No, the thought makes reason stare! Truth is reason; truth eternal Tells me I’ve a mother there.
4. When I leave this frail existence, When I lay this mortal by, Father, Mother, may I meet you In your royal courts on high? Then, at length, when I’ve completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you.

7 years ago a video showed up in my youtube page randomly. It was the barefoot angel singing "bang bang." I fell in love with that voice. Not long after I found the shoe story. To say this girl holds my heart is an understatement.
She looked like such an Angel in that performance, on a pedestal, where she belongs, and with a halo of flowers
She’s something very very special. If my son develops even half of Angelina’s capacity for empathy I’ll die a happy man.
Britt, you were very moved by this video and you took all of us on your trip with her. Her poise, confidence and maturity at 9 and 10 years old is remarkable and, personally, to me she is a Messenger of Love.
I'm a mom, and grandmother, and I feel such protection over her in the music industry. Prayers to keep her safe from any harm

She's great writing skills at a very early Age. The Story is unbelievable beautiful written. How she was able to write this as a young child with so much passion for others 🙂 I am happy to got one of the last hardcopies. A beautiful Artwork with the illustration of her grandma.

We deeply enjoy Angelina's singing, we adore here for her exceptional artistic sensitivity, and get inspired by her shining spirit. Wonderful ❣️
She asked the little girl she met, What do you want to be when you grow up? The little girl said, "I want to be a DR" The little girl asked Angelina, What do you want to be? Angelina said "I want to be a singing star" She then told the little girl, "I will never wear shoes singing until I am a Star and you are a DR"
When you watch Norway's Got Talent and see her audition you will notice her mother Sara crying. She said later that at that moment she knew she was giving Angelina to the world. Her family clearly recognizes what she is and diligently watches over her. Yet even they can be seen at times with that same amazement you and fans like me have. This is not your average pop star. She is valuable whether singing or not (although l think she must sing all the time). An international treasure with a flock of Angels out there to protect this gift to the world. Well done.
Britt, I don't know how you got through that without tearing up. I was a Kleenex mess and I've watched the video before.
Angelina has a loving family, and now a studio, watching over her and taking care of her. But, just in case we're needed, she has thousands of "grandparents" around the world willing and able to come to aid. Many of us have watched her grow up, and she really has a special place in our hearts. She is a special young woman.
Not many reactors do both back to back despite my many requests , so pleased you did this thanks.edit I'm not sure this was my request though as I've made so many.
Heaven is missing one choir member. The little Angelina's seat is empty for a while , while she performs her mission on earth!!
She is truly an angel, and when she looks at the staircase to heaven, she is looking at where she came from. And you are right, she must be protected at all costs. I pray for Angelina and her family every day.
Great choice for your very nice reaction, Britt. This interview video has always been one of the sweetest moments of Angelina's public appearances, her naturalness, her shyness, her adorable convictions, are a kind of manifesto of human beauty, at only 9 she already had ideas precise about what she wanted and about her positions as an empathic child. It's always a pleasure to see her again and even Unchained Melody's version of her is simply magical. Plus her book from her diaries is just adorable.💛🧡❤
Just love this beautiful young artist. Such a gift to the world. Thanks for this fantastic reaction.
AJ's grandmother, Mery Zamani, was a child prodigy, and is a famous artist, and has been a major force in AJ's upbringing.
This kid is unique, and that is one of the reasons we love her ❤️
And she was 6 when she did this, wrote this, and committed herself to the path of a humble barefoot angel. While I do not believe in reincarnation, I do believe that she was given such an inspiration. She wrote that her heart was opened up and filled with lots of light. She then climbed the stairs that opened from her heart up to her from heaven. I know where Angelina's inspiration comes from because she just told us.
Several times in the intervening years, she has said that when she sings, she goes away to a place where the music is and that it's an endless and happy place.
Isn't she the most precious little Angel(ina) ever...!?
Wonderful reaction. When the host asked Angelina if this happened in the Middle East Angelina said yes but it could have been anywhere in the world. That simple answer shows her compassion and knowledge of the poverty situation.
Great point.. it struck me the same way... The depth of her awareness is stunning and inspirational... There is hope for todays children... Obviously, it's grown and fostered at home... Not a guarantee, but one strong foundation upon which to build..
Another angel subscriber 😀❣️
Such a light, bright shinny star.
Nice comments, Britt. Her comment about a vision of a stairway to heaven (4:20 in the video) was on page 27 of the book, with a beautiful illustration that I scanned for the Community tab of my channel. Angelina was six years old when she wrote those words in her diary. She was in Tehran, Iran with her grandmother.
Glad you put the two segments together. Thanks for this wonderful reaction and commentary.
Contemplate that the words you read were written after returning to where she was staying after meeting the girl in the street. They talked for around an hour in the cold while her mother and grandmother waited for her. The words were written by a six year old. Buy her book. I cried while reading and still do at age eighty.
It is often mentioned how deep, insightful and - yes - beyond her years her thoughts were at such a very young age.
What keeps baffling me is the fact that everyone seems to take it for granted that a 6 year old would WRITE her own thoughts in her own diary.
I remember that she reported (in another TV interview) that she stepped on that bathroom scale several times to make the girl feel better and that she took off her shoes to keep the scale clean.
It really is so hard to comprehend how mature and caring a person Angelina is, she is a very deep thinker, she wrote those feelings down when she was 6, WHAAAT!!! Every time I see this interview I just about lose it and start bawling like a baby. thx Britt
Yeah, me too Brent. Uncontrollably.
She is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven. And a pray that being in the music industry does not ruin her.. the barefoot princess is truly a gift sent from God.
You are one of my favorite new reactors. Thank you again for reacting to yet another song from our angel. The interview she did revealed her heart so well and I appreciate your helping to open more eyes to her. Please keep doing reactions, as your beautiful heart fits in so well with our group of angels. Very warm reaction from a warm-hearted person. Thank you and I look forward to your next one.
Really love your perspective as a parent, Britt. Crazy good reaction, as always! BTW you'll love AJ's cover of Michael Jackson's "Heal the World" when she was 15: ruclips.net/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/видео.html
Thank you so much!!
Britt, this video was a great way to begin my RUclips day. I have enjoyed your reactions to Angelina so much, I had to make the donation to have you watch this interview from when she was 9 years old. Her diary entry was written, obviously, right after the encounter when she was 6 years old. We are truly blessed to be alive at the same time as Angelina Jordan Astar. Hard to imagine you don't know "Unchained Melody". You absolutely need to react to the most popular version by the Righteous Brothers as any reaction to that gets mega views (do a search and see for yourself). Angelina sang it again a few years later and of course improved and sang the entire song. I get more emotional listening to this version, probably due to the connection with the interview.
Awhile back, Angelina's team told her angels (fans) through her fan clubs that they believed reaction videos were hurting her RUclips analytics. Certainly if we spend time watching reactions, then we can't spend as much time watching the original videos. We enjoy reaction videos and have suggested reactors always encourage viewers to use the link provided to watch, like and comment on the original video. This way both the artist and the reactor win. Angelina would want you to do so for each aspiring artist you feature. Peace out.
Love this interview and your reaction to it! I don’t think I truly realized how remarkable she is until I came across this interview and realized she was keeping a journal and recording such inspiring remarks prior to Norway’s Got Talent. What 6 or 7 year old does that? She has been blessed and her voice gives her the platform to share that with us.
An angel talking. An angel singing !!!!
Still love this performance and along with the interview, showcases our Angel for those who want to learn where she comes from, both spirituality and "Between Two Hearts."
Let's go to age 12. Another interview on Norwegian TV where Angelina talks about her orginal song Shield and the meaning of the song. The interview starts off in Norwegian (no subtitles) but very quickly switches to English. After the interview, Angelina sings her song Shield. Once again, so looking forward to your reaction on this and again, you will be amazed. The two links are below in order.

Keep in mind that even though Angelina is 9 years old in the interview - she was reading a diary entry she wrote when she was only 6 years old - amazing writing skill for that age.
How can you not LOVE her!
Clearly...
When I first read her book, I was just floored! It felt almost as if I had the wind knocked out of me. The profound thoughts she expressed at 6 years old are just mind boggling. She is without doubt the most beautiful soul I have ever experienced in my life.
Do you want to hear her original song she wrote when she was 11 or. Please, it's so beautiful. It's a honor to her family being so patient with her carrier. The songs name is SHIELD 🛡 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Britt, what a beautiful reaction and start to my day! You got it. You truly got it. For a 6 yo to articulate, in writing, her feelings and story, and then at age 9 write the book with the encouragement of a family friend who is an author and her grandmother who illustrated it. Her intelligence, musical and otherwise, has been nurtured. I'm so happy to witness the emergence of this Light, this talent, this wonderful human. Have the day you deserve, Britt---full of beauty. Love, Grandma Ellen
Angelina was born who was a genius. The best description of her was given by reactor Gianni Bravo Ska: "She was born a butterfly and every day she adds a magnificent color to her wings".
@@francescogalesso1880 , yes, beautiful. Poems should be composed about/for/in response to Angelina Jordan and her sound.
Britt, when you said, “She needs to be protected at all costs.” it made me smile because I have uttered that exact same sentence, word-for-word, several times. I believe that Angelina is a gift to mankind from God and to be on earth at this time, during all of the geopolitical craziness going in the world to spread peace, love and joy through her music. When feel the profound affect of Angelina’s voice connect to our hearts and souls I say that’s God speaking to us through his angel, Angelina.
hi theblaster54.i agree with you completely.a child/teenager/young woman like angelina jordan, especially at this time when we are facing the greatest existential crisis and challenge,that can't be a coincidence.i'm over 60 now,but a child like angelina has not been there in my time. god protect them.
Is there such a thing as a "Perfect human being"? I think we've found her.
It gets me every time when I hear her, as a child herself, say, "I care very much about children"! That's an amazing statement of empathy, awareness, understanding, and compassion coming from a 9-year old who is typically in the "Me, Myself, and I" stage of life.
so humble so polite so tslented snd appreciative and always talks about being blessed. when angelina travels she visits cultural centers and museums. an excellent student and skipped 6th grade. mother teaches at the japanese school in oslo and grandmother has a masters in psychology in addition to being a child prodigy at 9 - painter artist poet and author...angelina has inherited all these traits...
I'm so glad you did this, BR.
The depth of her inner life at this age is remarkable. If all our children grew up in this way, we'd have a better world. Thanks so much for showing this interview, Britt!
Yes, we would have heaven on Earth if every child was brought up like Angelina.
Awesome reaction to a True Gem, God Bless!
Angelina never took her eyes of the interviewer, even when the audience laughed.
She did an interview in 2014 with TV4 Sweden. Swedish an Norwegian are similar enough and evidently to each other sound more like dialects than different languages .. fascinating to me .. ruclips.net/video/mLoUO7sNCAY/видео.html
Hi Edward! The interview video you posted for us is very good! I thought I had seen everything like this before and I didn't! This was new and interesting, thank you very much!!))
Yes, the interviewer spoke in Swedish and Angelina understood her and answered in Norwegian.
I love how she understands just which parts of a song to pull out for these abbreviated performances.
"I'm just an ordinary girl," she once said . Ha! Nothing ordinary about her! Her timing here was perfect, and her voice was like heaven. Long may she sing!
Notice how she answers the question about giving the girl her shoes. She doesn’t make some virtue signaling proclamation. The interviewer has to almost pull it out of her. She has to whisper it to the host three times to be understood. She’s just so humble beyond belief. At 9. And six when she had the encounter.
I’m so grateful her family has protected her the way they have. She is a rare jewel to be sure.
Thanks Britt for your amazingly insightful AJ reactions, i just subscribed. Yes, she is an an old soul who has been here before. One song related to that which I would love to hear Angelina sing is Teena Marie's "Deja Vu - I've been here before" ruclips.net/video/hqSY3mbt2TY/видео.html
AJ speaks several languages:
Angelina’s nationality
She is Norwegian, she speaks Norwegian, Japanese, Iranian, and English. Her original grandfather is Japanese, and her grandmother is Iranian. Her father is Swedish. You can see all of these nationalities in her looks. (Just wait till you hear her sing in Japanese!
One more delight: your Angelina reactions! Thank you 😊
Yes, I agree with every comment you made about Angelina. Very insightful. And what a delight you are yourself.
Our incomparable angel, Angelina, at any age. Thumbs up Britt.
Great reaction
I love your reactions. You're a doll.
👍😍
Great reaction!
Lady "B"...we lucked out w/you watching this interview.. straight from Angelina herself... The reason she performs barefoot tribute, and how it came to be had been shared SOOOO many times inaccurately.. the excerpt from her diary is the final stamp, PERIOD. There's not doubt this child is a PRODIGY, gifted by God because her heart merits and understands the responsibility of using it for good, not gain. The influence of those closest to her in her family is laid bare before us.. and we're ALL wanting this child, this Angel, this gift to be watched over, protected, encouraged and loved.. that's our lot in being a fan, a surrogate parent, sibling, a person who wants her to bloom safely.. Since God gave her to us, she'll benefit by us asking Him for her protection; that the LIGHT always shine. Loved your reaction, BR, brilliant observations, articulated beautifully... PEACE & BLESSINGS 🙏🏻🎤🎹🎺🎷🎶🎶🎼🎵🎙️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your many reactions to Angelina. I have two suggestions. First, for your daughter and yourself buy a digital copy of her book, between two hearts, from her web site, $20. The words, of a 6 year old and artwork of her grand mother are amazing. Secondly,, listen to her interview on Tv2 on the show Slovian when she was 12 and the song she performed after the interview. The song is Shield which she wrote about hop her family protects her. You will be amazed one more time
And then watch her "Everytime We Say Goodbye" from the rooftop in Oslo to be delighted one more time.
@@rogerherbst6978 A good recommendation for everyone who has seen this interpretation of Unchained Melody and thinks that there can't be a more touching and beautiful performance. Here’s the link ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html
There is also a short interview just before her performance, not as in-depth this time, but also very interesting and insightful. ruclips.net/video/NHP05szrixg/видео.html
@@paulwagner9303 Yes, Paul. Thanks. Notice the sparkle in her eyes, her confidence, poise, and maturity during the interview. And then that smile! Her rooftop "Everytime We Say Goodbye" is my all time favorite performance of Angelina, and I still revisit it often as I have for years.
Angelina could change the world if she wants.
Angelina is an Angel and an old soul.
Try singing this song! Really! This is just one more extremely difficult songs she tackles. That feeling of "She has to be protected" is the hand of God! It's that overwhelming feeling we all get, because we all agree, yet are uncomfortable saying "She is"! I have no doubt, history & her will be written! What that is I don't know? Based on her effects on us, It should be big!
One more suggestion, as a reaction read the book and comment on what you are reading. For copywrite reasons you should probably only show a few pages of the artwork. I don't think that anyone has ever reacted to the book and I have watched thousands of reactions. As luck would have it her 2014 audition showed up on my RUclips feed shortly after the audition and I have been addicted for nearly 8 years.
And now you know why the RUclips community has dubbed Angelina as "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz"
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🇨🇦
Lol - most Norwegians are bilingual, and a lot learn more than 2 languages 😅
From a young age...
😀😀😀😀😀
The interview is in a very small picture we cannot read the translation.
From last count, she speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, some Japanese and from my understanding, is learning Spanish while living in LA.
Some German as well and Swedish… she is incredible!
I am a helicopter pilot. There's a saying in my community. There's "by the book" then there's "reality". AJ understands the difference! Only experience gets you there
❤❤❤
Wow! I see you're working hard producing so many videos each day. Please don't burn yourself out by doing so many. Keep up the good work! -Vickie
Thank you so much!
Angelina Jordan (born Angelina Jordan Astar; 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video
300 million views online and brought her worldwide press coverage at the age of 7 She went on to win the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl and giving her shoes to her. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
thank you very much for sharing this .
Another Awesome reaction Britt, keep Rollin with Angelina I'm right there with you ✌️
Britt I have watched many of your reaction videos. I am a huge fan of yours. Your a National Treasure too and should be protected at all costs. One of a kind. Thank you so much for sharing your heart. ♥ Go and have the life you deserve.
I couldn't have said it better sir!
Your so right Britt. (She was 9 here.She was 6 when the incident happened and wrote it in her diary). She’s a world treasure that needs protection. The entertainment industry sees her as the goose that lays the golden egg. Her family is protective of her. But as her fans we need to add the special extra layer against the industry and those who would try and brain wash her into things that would slowly take away her innocents and or turn her into some (used as a metaphor) green haired sjw, here today gone tomorrow flash in the pan pop singer or entertainer. She’s a God given blessing to us in these end of the end days time. 🙏
Hello, so exciting, not only Angelina moved me singing, but also her interpretation, her examples, when reading and listening to her in an interview, I am going to leave you a video, of a super exciting talk between the Poet and Writer Erling Kittelsen, a friend of the family and Angelina Jordan, talking about her encounter with the barefoot girl, it is in these interviews where one learns from her, greetings and thank you very much for the reaction ruclips.net/video/6p6iL989P_8/видео.html
How come no one is talking about the opra flair in this song? AJ's vibrato is money 💰
✌🛥
Angelina is the "Barefoot Angel" she gives more than she takes whereas, as a princess who would be entitled would take more and gives less.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful interview with Angelina. It’s very much appreciated.
Boy she is special, and Ashton Kutcher on piano, awesome!
Here's a hymn that expresses these truths:
1. O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?
2. For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, “You’re a stranger here,”
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.
3. I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav’ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I’ve a mother there.
4. When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I’ve completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.
WOW. She is amazing.
