Angelina was nine when the "spell on you" video was made, and she not only sang it, she also arranged it. The sheet that the band leader is perusing at the beginning of the video is Angelina's notes on the arrangement. Her understanding of music composition and arrangement at this age is astounding.
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
She was actually 9 in the second video and the song was arranged by her. The musicians called her 'The Boss' because she had a very clear idea of what she wanted to do. 😎
The bare feet come from when she was 6 years old. She wrote and published a story about it, "Between Two Hearts." Which made her Norway's youngest author. When at 6 she was traveling in the Middle East (Grandma Mery is Iranian and a prodigy in her own right) Angelina came across a homeless 6-year-old girl weighing people for money. They talked about their dreams, the girl wants to be a doctor, Angelina obviously a famous singer. Angelina was wearing her favorite shoes, she took them off and gave them to the girl and promised to never wear shoes when she performs until there's no more homeless kids. Her winnings from NGT, she donated to charity. By the time she was 12, she help raised over $21 million Euro for charities.
At the age of 7, on Norway's Got Talent, the judges asked Aj if she understood what she was singing and she explained to them what it was about. They of course were blown away.
This is my first time reacting to your reaction and I want to say thank you for not stopping the video every few seconds to give a fake face of astonishment and then a guttural exclamation of "I can't believe this." My reaction to your reaction is well done.
Thank you guys she had just turned 9yrs old here this is her own arrangement after listening to Screaming J Hawkins original , and it was her own choice no one choses her songs, she is self taught her voice is so unique her family and music teachers agree not to mess with what she was doing naturally she may of had guidance for vocal heath but she is so advanced she has worked everything out for herself . Frank Sinatra's "My way" belongs to her now it was her encore at her recent concert in LA she is totally unique she sings for love not to impress her art comes first she will demote herself to achieve her vision for a song she is a giant talent with an even greater heart this girl is love embodied and her loyal legions angels adore her as she does with us.💜👣😇
Have you never heard of punctuation? What you have above is one long single sentence that is hard to make sense of. For gosh sakes, take an English class somewhere! That said, your content, when finally deciphered, is excellent information on Angelina.
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (now 18 y old) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul. Greeting from Germany.
@@hansevers8605 I know Emma Kok and I really like her singing. She is a very good singer. But there is a young woman whose voice speaks to me much more. Her name is Angelina Jordan, by the way. 😉
@@jensstawicki1870 Of course I also know Dimash. He is an excellent singer with an outstanding technique, an asset to the music scene. I wish him much success. I have been starting my day with Angelina Jordan for almost 9 years now while I drink my morning coffee. Her voice, her interpretations and her personality touch my soul in a way that I have never experienced with other artists. 🙂
I am so jealous, that you are just discovering the wonder, that is Angelina Jordan!!! You are truly in for the ride of your life 😊I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or what genre she fits in, & I have accepted, she does not fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in league all of her own.....❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A BLESSING*** ❤ 💚 💜
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend, now living in LA. (curent 18 Years old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe! All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody! (Translated by Google) Today (18 years old) Angelina Jordan is no longer a talent, but a world-class singer!
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RUclips video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage. On May 16, 2024, the first fruits of Angelina's cooperation with Tobi Gad were released. This German composer and record producer based in Los Angeles invited Angeline to an intimate concert at the Hotel Cafe JESSE & FRIENDS, the same one where Adel sang and was discovered. Tobi then took Angelina to London, where she performed His song If I Were A Boy at the London Palladium, and they recorded two versions of the song, Live At Saint James Church, and another studio version illustrated with a film from the streets of London. It seems that Tobi has started cooperation with Angelina and there are several joint songs in the pipeline. At the May concert in Los Angeles, one of them was presented: BAD VALENTINE. Angelina perform Concert at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA on Sept. 20th, 2024. On the same day she released her new orginal singiel in cooperation with Tobi Gad Bad Valentine.
I've seen these two performances over a million times, or so it seems, but it NEVER gets old. She is such a wonder, so very special, so much fun to behold, pure joy to your soul. Thank you for your reaction. I loved it!
I have been hooked on Angelina's music for over 6 years now & I have listened to her every day since then. I've never seen anything like her before & I've been listening to popular music since the 60's. She has a mesmerizing, calming effect on me that I have never experienced from any other singer. She is a true "Vocal Artist" unlike many so called artists today that require autotune or pitch correction as well as other production wizardry to sound good.. All of her fans say she is better live than in studio productions & I am one of them. Great reaction from you guys, I liked & subed for more Angelina reactions. She is something else!!!
Glad you included both of these in the same.... Its the Ultimate showing of Angelina imo, Other than the NGT show clips when she was doing it as a Child.... Born again Talent is the only word
For I Put A Spell On You - Angelina was 9 years old - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/80f3t3dmBbk/видео.html
AJ is not just your average genius prodigy. Angelina Jordan's musical talents extend beyond her captivating voice; she is also skilled in playing multiple instruments like the keyboard, flute, violin, and guitar. Her prolific songwriting has produced over 100 songs, including a special anthem for Oslo, which showcases her ability to compose and arrange music for an orchestra. Indeed, Angelina's multifaceted genius sets her apart as a unique and extraordinary artist in the world of music.
Great reactions. AJ has a bunch more at a young age that will almost certainly impress you as much as these two. Hope you follow up. And then there is the more recent originals when her voice is more mature and her skills even more developed.
I saw her for the first time when she was 7 and the voice posted the videos. Like the judges, my jaw dropped when she sang Gloomy Sunday at the age of 7. That was absolutely incredible. I'm very excited to see how her journey continues.
Great reaction! I have watched this a hundred times, maybe more. I have never, in my 80 years, heard anything like Angelina, and what a pleasure to see people hearing her for the first time.
Her new jazzy version of Bad Valentine, the Piano Diaries version, is her most recent technique encyclopedia, where she shows many, many of her jazz techniques. Highly recommended. She is 18 now by the way.
That was really fun. My 13 yr old daughter has told me about Angelina but I had never heard her before! Incredible! As always I love your technical insights along with the appreciation for the unique artistry of the performances.
You just witnessed one of the greatest child prodigies to come along in decades, if not centuries. Buckle up if you choose to follow more of her career. And trust me, she knows exactly what she’s singing about. By the time she was her age in this video she was speaking 4 or 5 languages and playing several instruments. She published a children’s book at 9 and became Norway’s youngest published author. In an interview at the time, she describes the meaning of IPASOY as a song about deep obsessive love, almost like voodoo. So, she knew exactly what she was singing about and how to convey that.
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments. Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest jazz recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which is only her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album. Here is a semi-chronological RUclips playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love. Please continue to include in your description the artist Official Channel as well as the original video, if you have not already done so. Verbally encouraging your viewers to like comment and subscribe to yours and the artists' videos and channels boosts subscriptions and algorithms for both of you.
She’s nine years two months here. She wasn’t pointing, she was directing the band. This is her arrangement. The band called her “The Boss.” She heard Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ version and is doing her version. Y’all should watch her four performances for Norway’s Got Talent at 7-8 years old!
Angelina Jordan is a once-in-a-millennium talent Jordan has consistently amazed both the public and professionals alike. Her ability to convey deep emotion through her music, coupled with her distinctive barefoot performances, has not only earned her a global fan base but also recognition from reputable media outlets and a contract with a major record label. Indeed, her natural gift for music and her mature interpretation of classic songs suggest that this artist came into the world with an innate brilliance that sets her apart. Angelina Jordan's journey from viral internet sensation to a celebrated young artist is a clear indication that her once-in-a-millennium talent continues to evolve and inspire. What AJ has cannot be taught, she was born with this phenomenal talent and a signature voice.
Thanks guys, I enjoyed this very much =) Greetings from Norway

All I'm saying - Angelina Jordan - A Million Years Ago. Freakin' magic. And also "California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas (Angelina Jordan Cover)". Absolutely amazing.
At seven, Angelina covered Gloomy Sunday, by Billie Holiday. I'm hopeful that she will NEVER experience the kind of harsh reality that song is talking about, yet she managed to bring this old grey bearded man to tears with her rendition. There is reason why she always performs bare foot. It's worth the time to look up the story.
I have listened to most of your reactions and I find myself agreeing with all of them, you seem to have it right almost every time. As I have been in the music industry for fifty years now you have a my attention now for all the right reasons you have been saying about the artists
Hi Charlie, pls show Andrea this comment: even if you already got some comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard newbies comment" (SNC) - maybe you can find some for you new information in it ;-) So, here is my SNC: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! Maybe you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it 😏
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... 😏 A little explanation: Her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) based on the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956) - Live: ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html or another version of it: ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ruclips.net/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/видео.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ruclips.net/video/82cdnAUvsw8/видео.html) that's real fun - if you watch this too and may be after this watch Angelinas cover again you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins 😃 At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano 😃 The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;) At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 😏 Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;) ...I hope this story isn't a HOAX 😃
Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to 😏 ... Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on RUclips with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo! She is born January 10th 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language 😏), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ). Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… 😏
First of all, here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ruclips.net/channel/UC1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - ruclips.net/channel/UCv-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg Angelina Jordan VEVO Channel - ruclips.net/channel/UCD9xBPlntT45VN6dY1LNhng Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ruclips.net/channel/UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ (on this web site you can find also her accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) her TikTok-channel: www.tiktok.com/@angelinajordana and the site of Republic Records with her introduction: www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan

In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield"). So, she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ruclips.net/channel/UC55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA), Andy Schnell, ...
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany 😃 Best regards Andreas 😎
Grandma Mery was the first to stand in the audience in recognition of what AJ had just accomplished. Mery Zamani, the tree from which the beautiful blossom has grown. Angelina Jordan's artistic lineage, with her grandmother Mery Zamani being a world-renowned recognized painter, poet, and child genius prodigy certainly suggests a rich environment of creativity and expression. It's well-documented that Mery Zamani has been a significant influence in Angelina's life, nurturing her talents from a young age, and providing financial support to further AJ career. While Angelina co-wrote "Million Miles" about her maternal step-grandfather's passing with the Grammy Award-winning Norwegian duo, Stargate, the emotional depth and maturity of the lyrics could hint at the wisdom passed down from her grandmother. Angelina's ability to convey complex emotions through her music at such a young age is a testament to her unique upbringing and the artistic influences around her, including the mentorship of her grandma Mery.
This girl is about to take over the world! Only 17 years old and she is already being called the GOAT! We've all heard "Bohemian Rhapsody a thousand times, none better than Angelina! And YES she won "America's Got Talent"!
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Angelina is mature way beyond her young years but yet she is still a very humble little girl of 13 and 9 years old here. Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far: From 18 months with a portion of a Whitney Huston song in her crib while holding a microphone almost as big as she was, to now 18 years old with two Peace prize performances one before her teen years and one in her later teen years' , here is a short list of about 80 different artist she has already covered with absolute mastery and even improving on a great majority of them , while still a pre-teen and barely into her teen years as well. : Adele, A'Ha, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Audrey Hepburn, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Charlie Chaplin, Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Duffy, Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Estelle, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Fred Astaire, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lionel Ritchie, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, November Ultra, Paloma Faith, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, The Weekend, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. and I may have missed some as her list keeps growing , not to mention her own originals as well. Welcome to her world full of many vocal surprises.
Interesting trivia: She commented on Angelina's somewhat unusual outfit for this performance. The outfit is actually composed of 6 pieces of art, which were originally painted by Angelina and her grandmother Mery Zamari, who is an artist. Grandmother Mery is in the crowd next to Angelina's mother - lower right hand corner at 3:54 in this video.
Ive been listen to her since she been 7 she amazing i could listen to her allday long i get chills and brings tears to my eyes my little barefoot angel❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
Hi, guys! She definitely understand the message of every song she sings. (Btw, she was 9 here.) Occasionally she has to alter the lyrics to make them appropriate for her to sing the song (like Amy Winehouse songs). When she obviously is singing a song where the lyrics present a life situation that we know she could have never experienced we still get affected by her soulful voice because she looks for the message of love in the song (any song) and relates to the love and we hear that and feel that, so whatever she is singing sounds believable. Really extraordinary. First time reactions to her usually include goosebumps, tearing up (with an urge to cry) and finding it difficult to speak normally during or right after she sings 'for you'. Yes, she is not singing to you, she is singing 'for you'. There is so, so much more about 'who she is' which will entrance you to such a degree you wind up thinking about her with thoughts so endearing you soon realize the feelings you have about her are feelings you've never had before in your life. Her poise and confidence? During interviews when she was very young she was often asked the question, "Do you ever get nervous in front of large audiences when you sing?" She replies to that question by saying, "I am most comfortable in my life when I am on stage singing for people." Yes, she was born to sing and she sings for us. Charlie and guest (you are very lovely) please react to Angelina more. The fascination of listening to her will never ebb. The next song you listen to might be the best you've ever heard her sing. That is, until you hear the next one. Her voice speaks for itself and what is equally at a level of performance which is incomprehensible is her artistic qualities which musicians in particular are astounded by. She rearranges 'covers' according to how she interprets the original message of a song and she literally makes her arrangements an entirely different song and at the same time STILL PAYS HOMAGE TO THE ORIGINAL SONG AND ARTIST. She does have plenty of original material on you tube and her story telling style is captivating.
Subscribed..Everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks for the reaction to the best female singer in the world nowadays…👍👏
For everyone who doesn't know yet: Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrengement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (There are now over 19.5 million streams on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
Angelina is 9 years old in I put a spelling you. Saying that she does not understand what she is singing may be incorrect. Angelina right from the start in childhood has been able to express and elicit emotion from adult events sis has not experienced. It is said that She hears the story and applies it to experiences in her own life. For example, when she sings about love and an adult situation, she thinks of Love for a family member, and if that love is lost, she thinks of losing one of her family. She feels the emotion because she experiences it in her own way. It is remarkable and at this age she is a prodigy.
She was nine when this was recorded. She had already won Norway's Got Talent after just turning 8. This is her full-time band, hired after she had won. Angelina had been working with them at this point for almost a year. They called her, "Boss," not because she was that, but because they knew they were working with an incredible talent. She, even just before this recording, was changing the arrangement. Angelina, to this day, arranges her own music. You have no idea what you have just discovered. English was her third language of 4. I suggest you now listen to her performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Tribute Concert last December in Norway. She sang Unchained Melody with the KORK orchestra. One of the 10 best orchestras in the world. It was broadcast live worldwide. By the way it was her second time to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony. She is the only person to ever perform at 2. In Norway, she was declared a National Treasure after winning Norway's Got Talent. All her performances went viral here on RUclips. She is a gift to us all. Most say she is an old soul in a young body.
Thank you for the wonderful reaction and your beautiful facial expressions. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic Queen's song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation and make such an intimate and emotional version at just 13 years old! These two performances together are a wonderful example of Angelina's extraordinary and unique talent, her extraordinary intelligence and her unique musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms the great songs that she loves so much and has been doing so since she was 6 years old. Her phrasing, supported by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and gives me goosebumps every time, even though I have listened to it hundreds of times. This unique girl is simply a wonderful gift to all of us, her voice is absolutely indescribable and mesmerizing. 💛🧡❤
Please listen to her version of “back to black” they change the lyrics because of her age, but she gives an amazing performance, and you can tell the musicians are pretty impressed with her!!❤
FANTASTIC and real reaction. If this video would go on with the around 300 AJ songs... I wouldn ' t leave till the last tone ! thanks a lot. Try bad valentine... 3 versions... live from 05/24, then the pop video, which cries for a grammy, and than the yazzy version from 10/24 -piano diaries / Toby Gad , which cries for a minimum of 5 grammys ! Was no. 1 in norway. This song is unbelievable... a masterpiece
That was a great reaction. I loved watching Andreas eyes in disbelief as she heard this remarkable young soul(as we all have done). You two are great together and should collab more. Charlie, keep up the good work, both as a singer and a content creator.
She performs barefooted to raise awareness about children around the world who do not have shoes. She was travelling in the middle east when she was 6 and befriended a shoeless street vendor about her age. She gave the girl her shoes and wrote a book about it. "Between Two Hearts". She writes her own arrangements... in the studio she is known as "the Boss".
No, she does understand what she’s singing. On both of the songs you heard today, Angelina did the arrangement herself. She inhabits whatever genre she’s singing, and she makes you understand the lyrics in a way you didn’t before-like Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina is easily the best popular singer I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been listening to music since the 50’s. No gimmicks, no auto tune, no processing-a voice for the ages, and the musical wisdom that seems impossible, but is there is on dozens and dozens of her performances from age 7 to now at 18.
"No, she does understand what she's singing". I think you're misunderstanding. Please listen more closely to what they're saying. AJ at 9 doesn't understand what feeling angsty about lust feels like, and you're not going to convince anyone she does. Please listen more closely to what they're actually saying.
@@Biomirth There are many levels of understanding for a song like this. You’ve chosen a level of physical love that a nine year old could not have experienced yet-and used that to say she doesn’t understand what she’s singing. I think that’s completely wrong. Do you reject her interpretation of If I Were a Boy? How about Bohemian Rhapsody? She’s obviously not experienced any of those those feelings firsthand. My point is that there are many reactors and commenters who believe that someone must have personally experienced an attitude or feeling to sing about it legitimately. That’s completely untrue, and Angelina is a great example, but there are countless other singers who can as well.
@@Biomirth I think we’ve reached an impasse here. I listened to this video again from start to finish. I understand exactly the point in their conversation you’re addressing. I still feel the way I did initially. Evoking feelings of physical or carnal love is one way to interpret these lyrics (although the lyrics themselves don’t do that explicitly), but a singer can perform the song as convincingly and authentically at other levels. We just watched Angelina do that.
I first heard Angelina years ago. Right after her first Audition. I've always been a HUGE Billie Holiday fan and her song Gloomy Sunday gave me shivers. She "felt" like the embodiment of Billie Holiday. The fact that tiny little child could evoke the spirit of Billie Holiday and sound soooo much like her was astounding. I've been a fan since the first. Her version of Bohemian Rhapsody was absolutely sublime.
Being classical singers you might enjoy "A Song for A" as in Angelina, it was written expressly for her to sing. The composer is Nico Cartsio, a contemporary Russian classical composer as the final movement in his piece " Melting" and the only movement with vocals. The lyrics are from a 18th century Scotish poem by Robert Burns. It should by used in a classic movie. So a modern Russian composer writes music for an old Scotish poem and asks an 11 year old Norwegian girl to sing it for his album.
I find that Summertime, from her Norway performances truly highlights how deep into that soul/jazz era she was at the time. That music and covering it is one of the ways she discovered her range, and all the flavors of her voice.
Gloomy Sunday is her oldest ... and that is none other than the queen of dark blues Billy Holliday .. and thats hard stuff for a pro adult to deliver yet she does brilliantly.
Style to emote over precise diction. Angelina Jordan's unique pronunciation style is a deliberate artistic choice that enhances her emotive singing performances. This approach has roots in the jazz tradition, where vocal expression and the emotional conveyance of lyrics often take precedence over precise diction. Jordan's style has captivated audiences worldwide, showcasing her ability to convey deep emotions and connect with listeners on a profound level. Her talent and distinctive style have earned her a place among notable artists who use their voice as an instrument to evoke feelings and tell stories through music.
AGT To win AGT you must sign a contract with Simon, and he then has control of your future. AJ's family would not allow that to happen because they wanted her to have as much of a normal life as possible and still pursue her goals, and money was not an issue because her family is somewhat wealthy. Several producers flew into Norway in their private jets after AJ wone NGT and tried to sign her, but the family did like the terms of the contracts. I believe one of the producers was David Foster. This video of Angelina Jordan performing Bohemian Rhapsody has been viewed over 150 million times.
To be fair, she was 9 years and 2 months old when she recorded.I put a spell on you.... Her arrangement of the lyrics,,, I think it was a collaboration on the instrumental
Angelina was nine when the "spell on you" video was made, and she not only sang it, she also arranged it. The sheet that the band leader is perusing at the beginning of the video is Angelina's notes on the arrangement. Her understanding of music composition and arrangement at this age is astounding.
Awesome, thanks for the info. Incredible gift
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
She was actually 9 in the second video and the song was arranged by her. The musicians called her 'The Boss' because she had a very clear idea of what she wanted to do. 😎
The bare feet come from when she was 6 years old. She wrote and published a story about it, "Between Two Hearts." Which made her Norway's youngest author. When at 6 she was traveling in the Middle East (Grandma Mery is Iranian and a prodigy in her own right) Angelina came across a homeless 6-year-old girl weighing people for money. They talked about their dreams, the girl wants to be a doctor, Angelina obviously a famous singer. Angelina was wearing her favorite shoes, she took them off and gave them to the girl and promised to never wear shoes when she performs until there's no more homeless kids. Her winnings from NGT, she donated to charity. By the time she was 12, she help raised over $21 million Euro for charities.
….. not making them this way anymore ❤.
At the age of 7, on Norway's Got Talent, the judges asked Aj if she understood what she was singing and she explained to them what it was about. They of course were blown away.
Discovering Angelina is Life changing (for real) ❤ You barely scratched the surface. Fasten your seat belt. You will be amazed ❤
This is my first time reacting to your reaction and I want to say thank you for not stopping the video every few seconds to give a fake face of astonishment and then a guttural exclamation of "I can't believe this." My reaction to your reaction is well done.
Just giving our take as singers. Not trying to trick anyone here or anything haha. Thank you
Thank you guys she had just turned 9yrs old here this is her own arrangement after listening to Screaming J Hawkins original , and it was her own choice no one choses her songs, she is self taught her voice is so unique her family and music teachers agree not to mess with what she was doing naturally she may of had guidance for vocal heath but she is so advanced she has worked everything out for herself . Frank Sinatra's "My way" belongs to her now it was her encore at her recent concert in LA she is totally unique she sings for love not to impress her art comes first she will demote herself to achieve her vision for a song she is a giant talent with an even greater heart this girl is love embodied and her loyal legions angels adore her as she does with us.💜👣😇
Have you never heard of punctuation? What you have above is one long single sentence that is hard to make sense of. For gosh sakes, take an English class somewhere! That said, your content, when finally deciphered, is excellent information on Angelina.
Angelina knew what I Put A Spell On You was about - at the time she described it as a song about obsessive love - like Voodoo.
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (now 18 y old) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul. Greeting from Germany.
Did you hear Emma Kok? If not please try and keep a box of tissues ready
Would also recommend to try Dimash Qudaibergen , he is an amazing singer
@@hansevers8605 I know Emma Kok and I really like her singing. She is a very good singer. But there is a young woman whose voice speaks to me much more. Her name is Angelina Jordan, by the way. 😉
@@jensstawicki1870 Of course I also know Dimash. He is an excellent singer with an outstanding technique, an asset to the music scene. I wish him much success. I have been starting my day with Angelina Jordan for almost 9 years now while I drink my morning coffee. Her voice, her interpretations and her personality touch my soul in a way that I have never experienced with other artists. 🙂
I'm here for your reactions to Angelina Jordan ❤🎉
Yes I think 'it's just perfect' sums it up nicely!
I am so jealous, that you are just discovering the wonder, that is Angelina Jordan!!! You are truly in for the ride of your life 😊I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or what genre she fits in, & I have accepted, she does not fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in league all of her own.....❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A BLESSING*** ❤ 💚 💜
Welcome to the rabbit hole called Angelina Jordan, watch out you’ll never get out. She is the best jazz singer of our time.👍🏻
Great reaction guys.
Even crazier, she does her own arrangements.
My all-time favourite singer in over 50 years.
The Norwegian singer, Angelina Jordan is a young legend, now living in LA. (curent 18 Years old ). She is an elegant artist for the big occasions. Which artist has sung for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, and she sings FIFA's official song before the upcoming World Cup. She has sung for 40,000 in concert with Nora Jones. She has helped to collect 21 million for children in need. Performed for many countries' heads of state on many big occasions. Concert in Las Vegas, with a number of other live concerts. Signed record deal with "Republic Records" at only 14 years old. The list is almost endless ... She is so talented that no one can ignore her, and together with Rebpublic Records, she actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song? The list of what Angelina has already been involved in is already so extensive that only a deep dive into her performances has to be searched online by yourself. It is too extreme to almost believe!
All important people in the music industry know who she is and what she is good at on big occasions. I don't think anyone has the guts to suggest to her a fast track that doesn't suit her. Her integrity is too strong for that! - The remaining members of Queen allowed her to copyright her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody!
(Translated by Google)
Today (18 years old) Angelina Jordan is no longer a talent, but a world-class singer!
yeah, she is a prodigy ❤ Insane talent ❤
You cannot explain the unexplainable. It's like a gifted artist's painting...no training ..it's just a gift. It's in their DNA and comes out somehow.
I’m here for Angelina 😊😊😊
New sub. Please more Angelina 🙏
Great reaction. ❤
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RUclips video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage.
On May 16, 2024, the first fruits of Angelina's cooperation with Tobi Gad were released. This German composer and record producer based in Los Angeles invited Angeline to an intimate concert at the Hotel Cafe JESSE & FRIENDS, the same one where Adel sang and was discovered. Tobi then took Angelina to London, where she performed His song If I Were A Boy at the London Palladium, and they recorded two versions of the song, Live At Saint James Church, and another studio version illustrated with a film from the streets of London. It seems that Tobi has started cooperation with Angelina and there are several joint songs in the pipeline. At the May concert in Los Angeles, one of them was presented: BAD VALENTINE.
Angelina perform Concert at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA on Sept. 20th, 2024. On the same day she released her new orginal singiel in cooperation with Tobi Gad Bad Valentine.
Merci pour votre réaction. J'espère que vous continuerez de découvrir Angelina que nous aimons tant. Alain from 🇫🇷
I've seen these two performances over a million times, or so it seems, but it NEVER gets old. She is such a wonder, so very special, so much fun to behold, pure joy to your soul. Thank you for your reaction. I loved it!
I have been hooked on Angelina's music for over 6 years now & I have listened to her every day since then. I've never seen anything like her before & I've been listening to popular music since the 60's. She has a mesmerizing, calming effect on me that I have never experienced from any other singer. She is a true "Vocal Artist" unlike many so called artists today that require autotune or pitch correction as well as other production wizardry to sound good.. All of her fans say she is better live than in studio productions & I am one of them. Great reaction from you guys, I liked & subed for more Angelina reactions. She is something else!!!
You said and you feel it well that's kind of her signature she makes you feel every song that she sings and that's what makes her SOOO special !!!
Glad you included both of these in the same.... Its the Ultimate showing of Angelina imo, Other than the NGT show clips when she was doing it as a Child.... Born again Talent is the only word
QUEEN GAVE ANGELINA THE COPYRIGHT TO HER VERSION OF THIS SONG WHICH I THINK IA AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤
In this song she is putting a spell on her fans, not a lover, it is all in a perspective. And she did cast a spell on us.
For I Put A Spell On You - Angelina was 9 years old - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/80f3t3dmBbk/видео.html
AJ is not just your average genius prodigy.
Angelina Jordan's musical talents extend beyond her captivating voice; she is also skilled in playing multiple instruments like the keyboard, flute, violin, and guitar. Her prolific songwriting has produced over 100 songs, including a special anthem for Oslo, which showcases her ability to compose and arrange music for an orchestra. Indeed, Angelina's multifaceted genius sets her apart as a unique and extraordinary artist in the world of music.
Phenomenal, you have opened Pandora's Box and the contents are an unparalleled treasure.
Great reactions. AJ has a bunch more at a young age that will almost certainly impress you as much as these two. Hope you follow up. And then there is the more recent originals when her voice is more mature and her skills even more developed.
I saw her for the first time when she was 7 and the voice posted the videos.
Like the judges, my jaw dropped when she sang Gloomy Sunday at the age of 7.
That was absolutely incredible.
I'm very excited to see how her journey continues.
Great reaction! I have watched this a hundred times, maybe more. I have never, in my 80 years, heard anything like Angelina, and what a pleasure to see people hearing her for the first time.
Incredible reaction to an unreal singer🥰, thanks. 🌹🌹🌹
Her new jazzy version of Bad Valentine, the Piano Diaries version, is her most recent technique encyclopedia, where she shows many, many of her jazz techniques. Highly recommended. She is 18 now by the way.
That was really fun. My 13 yr old daughter has told me about Angelina but I had never heard her before! Incredible!
As always I love your technical insights along with the appreciation for the unique artistry of the performances.
Appreciate you Lisa. Angelina is incredible, glad you're here for the ride!
It was a great experience to hear your reactions; thank you. She has made a lot more music available, so I hope you will continue.
You just witnessed one of the greatest child prodigies to come along in decades, if not centuries. Buckle up if you choose to follow more of her career.
And trust me, she knows exactly what she’s singing about. By the time she was her age in this video she was speaking 4 or 5 languages and playing several instruments. She published a children’s book at 9 and became Norway’s youngest published author.
In an interview at the time, she describes the meaning of IPASOY as a song about deep obsessive love, almost like voodoo. So, she knew exactly what she was singing about and how to convey that.
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments.
Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest jazz recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which is only her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album.
Here is a semi-chronological RUclips playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu
Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Angelina has said.... " Love is Everything " and " Always Be Kind "
She’s nine years two months here. She wasn’t pointing, she was directing the band. This is her arrangement. The band called her “The Boss.” She heard Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ version and is doing her version. Y’all should watch her four performances for Norway’s Got Talent at 7-8 years old!
Angelina Jordan is a once-in-a-millennium talent
Jordan has consistently amazed both the public and professionals alike. Her ability to convey deep emotion through her music, coupled with her distinctive barefoot performances, has not only earned her a global fan base but also recognition from reputable media outlets and a contract with a major record label. Indeed, her natural gift for music and her mature interpretation of classic songs suggest that this artist came into the world with an innate brilliance that sets her apart. Angelina Jordan's journey from viral internet sensation to a celebrated young artist is a clear indication that her once-in-a-millennium talent continues to evolve and inspire. What AJ has cannot be taught, she was born with this phenomenal talent and a signature voice.
Thanks guys, I enjoyed this very much =) Greetings from Norway
All I'm saying - Angelina Jordan - A Million Years Ago. Freakin' magic. And also "California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas (Angelina Jordan Cover)". Absolutely amazing.
I'd love to see you react to Angelina singing "I Put a Spell on You" when she was 10. It's incredible.
Is that not the one at the end of this video?
At seven, Angelina covered Gloomy Sunday, by Billie Holiday. I'm hopeful that she will NEVER experience the kind of harsh reality that song is talking about, yet she managed to bring this old grey bearded man to tears with her rendition.
There is reason why she always performs bare foot. It's worth the time to look up the story.
She started singing jazz at the age of 18 months, first studio recordings when she was 6.
Following her for so long you should know this.
I have listened to most of your reactions and I find myself agreeing with all of them, you seem to have it right almost every time. As I have been in the music industry for fifty years now you have a my attention now for all the right reasons you have been saying about the artists
Glad you’re here :)
Hi Charlie, pls show Andrea this comment:
even if you already got some comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard newbies comment" (SNC) - maybe you can find some for you new information in it ;-)
So, here is my SNC:
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! Maybe you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it 😏
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... 😏
A little explanation:
Her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) based on the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956) - Live: ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html
or another version of it: ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ruclips.net/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/видео.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version: ruclips.net/video/82cdnAUvsw8/видео.html)
that's real fun - if you watch this too and may be after this watch Angelinas cover again you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins 😃
At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano 😃
The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo ;)
At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 😏
Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir ;)
...I hope this story isn't a HOAX 😃
Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to 😏 ...
Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on RUclips with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo!
She is born January 10th 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language 😏), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).
Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… 😏

In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So, she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ruclips.net/channel/UC55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA), Andy Schnell, ...
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany 😃 Best regards
Andreas
😎
Thanks for this! I just sent it to her. You’re awesome for including this much detail! Glad you’re here
Grandma Mery was the first to stand in the audience in recognition of what AJ had just accomplished.
Mery Zamani, the tree from which the beautiful blossom has grown.
Angelina Jordan's artistic lineage, with her grandmother Mery Zamani being a world-renowned recognized painter, poet, and child genius prodigy certainly suggests a rich environment of creativity and expression. It's well-documented that Mery Zamani has been a significant influence in Angelina's life, nurturing her talents from a young age, and providing financial support to further AJ career. While Angelina co-wrote "Million Miles" about her maternal step-grandfather's passing with the Grammy Award-winning Norwegian duo, Stargate, the emotional depth and maturity of the lyrics could hint at the wisdom passed down from her grandmother. Angelina's ability to convey complex emotions through her music at such a young age is a testament to her unique upbringing and the artistic influences around her, including the mentorship of her grandma Mery.
This girl is about to take over the world! Only 17 years old and she is already being called the GOAT! We've all heard "Bohemian Rhapsody a thousand times, none better than Angelina! And YES she won "America's Got Talent"!
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
Angelina is mature way beyond her young years but yet she is still a very humble little girl of 13 and 9 years old here.
Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far: From 18 months with a portion of a Whitney Huston song in her crib while holding a microphone almost as big as she was, to now 18 years old with two Peace prize performances one before her teen years and one in her later teen years' , here is a short list of about 80 different artist she has already covered with absolute mastery and even improving on a great majority of them , while still a pre-teen and barely into her teen years as well. :
Adele, A'Ha, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Audrey Hepburn, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Charlie Chaplin, Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Duffy, Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Estelle, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Fred Astaire, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lionel Ritchie, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, November Ultra, Paloma Faith, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, The Weekend, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson. and
I may have missed some as her list keeps growing , not to mention her own originals as well. Welcome to her world full of many vocal surprises.
Wow that’s a long list! Amazing!
Interesting trivia: She commented on Angelina's somewhat unusual outfit for this performance. The outfit is actually composed of 6 pieces of art, which were originally painted by Angelina and her grandmother Mery Zamari, who is an artist. Grandmother Mery is in the crowd next to Angelina's mother - lower right hand corner at 3:54 in this video.
Ive been listen to her since she been 7 she amazing i could listen to her allday long i get chills and brings tears to my eyes my little barefoot angel❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
Hi, guys! She definitely understand the message of every song she sings. (Btw, she was 9 here.) Occasionally she has to alter the lyrics to make them appropriate for her to sing the song (like Amy Winehouse songs). When she obviously is singing a song where the lyrics present a life situation that we know she could have never experienced we still get affected by her soulful voice because she looks for the message of love in the song (any song) and relates to the love and we hear that and feel that, so whatever she is singing sounds believable. Really extraordinary.
First time reactions to her usually include goosebumps, tearing up (with an urge to cry) and finding it difficult to speak normally during or right after she sings 'for you'. Yes, she is not singing to you, she is singing 'for you'. There is so, so much more about 'who she is' which will entrance you to such a degree you wind up thinking about her with thoughts so endearing you soon realize the feelings you have about her are feelings you've never had before in your life. Her poise and confidence? During interviews when she was very young she was often asked the question, "Do you ever get nervous in front of large audiences when you sing?" She replies to that question by saying, "I am most comfortable in my life when I am on stage singing for people." Yes, she was born to sing and she sings for us. Charlie and guest (you are very lovely) please react to Angelina more. The fascination of listening to her will never ebb. The next song you listen to might be the best you've ever heard her sing. That is, until you hear the next one. Her voice speaks for itself and what is equally at a level of performance which is incomprehensible is her artistic qualities which musicians in particular are astounded by. She rearranges 'covers' according to how she interprets the original message of a song and she literally makes her arrangements an entirely different song and at the same time STILL PAYS HOMAGE TO THE ORIGINAL SONG AND ARTIST. She does have plenty of original material on you tube and her story telling style is captivating.
Subscribed..Everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy…thanks for the reaction to the best female singer in the world nowadays…👍👏
My whole life has led to this moment. I am ready 😃
She reminds me and sounds like Angelina Jordan!
??? Because she IS???
I love ❤️ songs and personality performances she the QUEEN OF JAZZ ANGELINA JORDAN 👸✨️💐
For everyone who doesn't know yet:
Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrengement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (There are now over 19.5 million streams on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
Angelina is 9 years old in I put a spelling you. Saying that she does not understand what she is singing may be incorrect. Angelina right from the start in childhood has been able to express and elicit emotion from adult events sis has not experienced. It is said that She hears the story and applies it to experiences in her own life. For example, when she sings about love and an adult situation, she thinks of Love for a family member, and if that love is lost, she thinks of losing one of her family. She feels the emotion because she experiences it in her own way. It is remarkable and at this age she is a prodigy.
I would love to see a reaction to her new, original stuff.
She was nine when this was recorded. She had already won Norway's Got Talent after just turning 8. This is her full-time band, hired after she had won. Angelina had been working with them at this point for almost a year. They called her, "Boss," not because she was that, but because they knew they were working with an incredible talent. She, even just before this recording, was changing the arrangement. Angelina, to this day, arranges her own music. You have no idea what you have just discovered. English was her third language of 4. I suggest you now listen to her performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Tribute Concert last December in Norway. She sang Unchained Melody with the KORK orchestra. One of the 10 best orchestras in the world. It was broadcast live worldwide. By the way it was her second time to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony. She is the only person to ever perform at 2. In Norway, she was declared a National Treasure after winning Norway's Got Talent. All her performances went viral here on RUclips. She is a gift to us all. Most say she is an old soul in a young body.
I listen without seeing and I feeeeeeel it, extraordinary
She’s back (from a previous lifetime)!!!
She does her own arrangements too and the museos love her
amazing musicians playing on the younger track, they and she are just amazinbg,
Canta soul desde la cuna...👏👏👏
You have a lot and lot more to discover and be amazed,..
Thank you for the wonderful reaction and your beautiful facial expressions. This interpretation of her is absolutely unique, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic Queen's song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation and make such an intimate and emotional version at just 13 years old! These two performances together are a wonderful example of Angelina's extraordinary and unique talent, her extraordinary intelligence and her unique musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms the great songs that she loves so much and has been doing so since she was 6 years old. Her phrasing, supported by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and gives me goosebumps every time, even though I have listened to it hundreds of times. This unique girl is simply a wonderful gift to all of us, her voice is absolutely indescribable and mesmerizing. 💛🧡❤
She’ll blow your mind.
i'm always struck by the quality of the band with her. They were just great and to me added a lot to the enjoyment of the video.
Please listen to her version of “back to black” they change the lyrics because of her age, but she gives an amazing performance, and you can tell the musicians are pretty impressed with her!!❤
FANTASTIC and real reaction. If this video would go on with the around 300 AJ songs... I wouldn ' t leave till the last tone ! thanks a lot. Try bad valentine... 3 versions... live from 05/24, then the pop video, which cries for a grammy, and than the yazzy version from 10/24 -piano diaries / Toby Gad , which cries for a minimum of 5 grammys ! Was no. 1 in norway. This song is unbelievable... a masterpiece
You have to listen to her sing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road! Even better!!!
That was a great reaction. I loved watching Andreas eyes in disbelief as she heard this remarkable young soul(as we all have done). You two are great together and should collab more. Charlie, keep up the good work, both as a singer and a content creator.
She performs barefooted to raise awareness about children around the world who do not have shoes. She was travelling in the middle east when she was 6 and befriended a shoeless street vendor about her age. She gave the girl her shoes and wrote a book about it. "Between Two Hearts". She writes her own arrangements... in the studio she is known as "the Boss".
No, she does understand what she’s singing. On both of the songs you heard today, Angelina did the arrangement herself. She inhabits whatever genre she’s singing, and she makes you understand the lyrics in a way you didn’t before-like Bohemian Rhapsody.
Angelina is easily the best popular singer I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been listening to music since the 50’s. No gimmicks, no auto tune, no processing-a voice for the ages, and the musical wisdom that seems impossible, but is there is on dozens and dozens of her performances from age 7 to now at 18.
"No, she does understand what she's singing". I think you're misunderstanding. Please listen more closely to what they're saying. AJ at 9 doesn't understand what feeling angsty about lust feels like, and you're not going to convince anyone she does. Please listen more closely to what they're actually saying.
@@Biomirth There are many levels of understanding for a song like this. You’ve chosen a level of physical love that a nine year old could not have experienced yet-and used that to say she doesn’t understand what she’s singing. I think that’s completely wrong. Do you reject her interpretation of If I Were a Boy? How about Bohemian Rhapsody? She’s obviously not experienced any of those those feelings firsthand. My point is that there are many reactors and commenters who believe that someone must have personally experienced an attitude or feeling to sing about it legitimately. That’s completely untrue, and Angelina is a great example, but there are countless other singers who can as well.
@@johnvasi You didn't respond to what the people in the video were talking about and then ironically think I'm talking past you.
@@johnvasi That's not what they said in the video, though. He said "evoking", not singing.
@@Biomirth I think we’ve reached an impasse here. I listened to this video again from start to finish. I understand exactly the point in their conversation you’re addressing. I still feel the way I did initially. Evoking feelings of physical or carnal love is one way to interpret these lyrics (although the lyrics themselves don’t do that explicitly), but a singer can perform the song as convincingly and authentically at other levels. We just watched Angelina do that.
Thank you so much for this perfectly reaction!! Angelina Jordan deserves so much support. She IS an incredible talent!!
Outstanding star ❣️✨🌟✨
Great reaction, and comments. Thanks.
A child prodigy a barefoot princess future queen of jazz shes a Norwegian English is his 3rd language thanks foe your reaction
I first heard Angelina years ago. Right after her first Audition. I've always been a HUGE Billie Holiday fan and her song Gloomy Sunday gave me shivers. She "felt" like the embodiment of Billie Holiday. The fact that tiny little child could evoke the spirit of Billie Holiday and sound soooo much like her was astounding. I've been a fan since the first. Her version of Bohemian Rhapsody was absolutely sublime.
Fabulous reaction and comments. Please do more of Angelina. Thank you.
Being classical singers you might enjoy "A Song for A" as in Angelina, it was written expressly for her to sing. The composer is Nico Cartsio, a contemporary Russian classical composer as the final movement in his piece " Melting" and the only movement with vocals. The lyrics are from a 18th century Scotish poem by Robert Burns. It should by used in a classic movie. So a modern Russian composer writes music for an old Scotish poem and asks an 11 year old Norwegian girl to sing it for his album.
I LOVE the sound of this. So much intertexuality
Nico Cartosio (Nicola Cartosia)
welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. I truly believe she's going to be one of the greats that we will remember for generations.
I really liked the songs on her old channel. Her California Dreamin' cover is haunting. The Elvis songs are all really good too.
Angelina is an old soul.
She was nine and this was her arrangement.English is not her first language.The band call her the Boss.
She’s literally the best singer I’ve ever heard I have a lot heard singers she is just the best. Period period. Period.
I find that Summertime, from her Norway performances truly highlights how deep into that soul/jazz era she was at the time. That music and covering it is one of the ways she discovered her range, and all the flavors of her voice.
I've listened to Angelina sing Bohemian Rhapsody 15 plus times and it moves me emotionally every time.
^ years old! I have not heard this before. When I was 6 I was still trying to figure out which side of my pants had a zipper.
Gloomy Sunday is her oldest ... and that is none other than the queen of dark blues Billy Holliday .. and thats hard stuff for a pro adult to deliver yet she does brilliantly.
Great Reaction 👍🙏💯😎
Style to emote over precise diction.
Angelina Jordan's unique pronunciation style is a deliberate artistic choice that enhances her emotive singing performances. This approach has roots in the jazz tradition, where vocal expression and the emotional conveyance of lyrics often take precedence over precise diction. Jordan's style has captivated audiences worldwide, showcasing her ability to convey deep emotions and connect with listeners on a profound level. Her talent and distinctive style have earned her a place among notable artists who use their voice as an instrument to evoke feelings and tell stories through music.
AGT
To win AGT you must sign a contract with Simon, and he then has control of your future. AJ's family would not allow that to happen because they wanted her to have as much of a normal life as possible and still pursue her goals, and money was not an issue because her family is somewhat wealthy. Several producers flew into Norway in their private jets after AJ wone NGT and tried to sign her, but the family did like the terms of the contracts. I believe one of the producers was David Foster.
This video of Angelina Jordan performing Bohemian Rhapsody has been viewed over 150 million times.
Angelina ist Musik!
To be fair, she was 9 years and 2 months old when she recorded.I put a spell on you.... Her arrangement of the lyrics,,, I think it was a collaboration on the instrumental
