A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
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. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake.
Wow. I hope that you have this tucked neatly away someplace in a text file! Thank you so much for this comprehensive and informative comment!
Amazing how much info we Angels have. Definitely need to have this fabulous comment saved away. I am an Angel fan for over 7+ years now and I am impressed. Thanks to Waldemarwojtan for taking this time to give you so much info on our young lady. So many dedicated AJ fans, you will be amazed Pentagenarian....we are millions and millions strong supporting this fabulous young lady....Thanks for the great reaction BTW!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 NEW Sub here my friend....this is a deep deep Rabbit hole, spectacular though I might add, hope you will continue on as Angel fans will be coming, Angelina's fan base is huge (kind of like the Warning Army) and we are quite dedicated. For me, she my top Female vocalist and The Warning my top Rock Band (male or female)...have a broad music interest though have been a Rock/metal fan for over 60 years....talent is talent...does not matter.
@@CarlD70 I understand completely. I have also developed the theory based upon what I have read.
Consider: Her parents have guided her career. In doing so, they have entrenched her within a demographic that is notoriously hard for younger artists to break into.
Consider: She will soon have complete creative control.
If we stop for a moment and consider that there is a plan in place for her to unleash that power that is so evident once she has "official" control, she will hit a younger audience as well. In doing so, she will already have millions of fans in a hard to crack demographic before fully taking on the rest...
Prepare for world dominance.
Just a thought.
Thank you very much for your comment!
@@ThePentagenarian 😅 Angelina and herstory is amazing indeed 😊👍
@ThePentagenarian Thank you for that well thought out reply...much appreciated...and lengthy too...😁😁
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
I think one of my favorite things to discover is the fan dedication that some of the artists have. Thank you for this information and for being so excited about a music artist. I appreciate your comment!
You have just met the best singer ever. Angelina is a genius and prodigy.
… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored and speechless 😮!! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!!… Phenomenal!! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
I have watched this a hundred times or more and enjoy it each and very time. I marvel that it still grips my heart and brings tears to my eyes. Stay tuned -This girl is a gift and her journey is just beginning.
She does all her own arrangements. She has been doing them since she was 7 years old. She takes Iconic songs of long ago and rearranges them for the better. Shes a music Genius. She is the G.O.A.T in my books. great reaction Buddy
Angelina Jordan Astar, she is not only a brilliant good singer, her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.

Welcome to Angelinas world great reaction 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🏴
Angelina is awesome!
Indeed she is!
She's awesome over 200 covers and originals wild bill
Welcome to the world of the Barefoot Princess. She is a force with which to be reckoned.
Loved reaction and have subscribed to join you on your aj journey. You will be so pleasantly surprised by the variety of voices Angelina has.till the next time. You will be calling yourself an angel by the third reaction you do. Love from Scotland.
I am looking forward to it! Thank you very much for your comment and for subscribing!
In addition to all the covers that Angelina has done - she has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time.
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.
In my opinion, a performance that demonstrates the depth and the power of her voice is her cover of "It's A Man World" live in concert when she was only 12 years old.
Subscribed for Angelina!
You have no idea sir. Shes an angel with a gift. You can catch her first video on here from when she was six and go from there. 👍
This was a great reaction .😀New subscriber here for more Angelina.😀
Thank you very much!
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
Great 1st reaction to Angelina, the future G.O.A.T. I have subscribed to your channel in hope that you will react to more from her. She is just amazing. Take care! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥
More reactions to Angelina are pretty much a given. Lol. Thank you for your comment!
"She's something", I think, will be your biggest understatement as you continue your exploration down this rabbit hole. You will find that she has an enormous fan base, one that has watched and listened to her 200+ Utube videos and believe they are all treasures, deserving of frequent revisits. You will find that it's hard to stop once you start. I believe she was sixteen for this rendition of Elvis' classic,. She will be eighteen come January. Nevertheless, I hope you start with what made Angelina, Angelina, around age six and make the journey forward. I believe it will make your life better. It certainly has mine.
Enjoy The journey, my friend she has very substantial catalogue out there for you to be View and review. Hopefully you’ve only just begun and I promise you you’ll be more satisfied with every song you hear from her again enjoy the journey.
The Hagstrom Red Guitar used in this video is a modern up to date copy of the one Elvis used in 1968, and belongs to Rob Christie, AJ’s A&R rep from Republic Records/Universal Music Group.
The Hagstrom Red Guitar belonged to musician Al Casey, a member of Elvis’ backing band during the special in 1968. According to an accompanying letter from Casey, he was asked to let Elvis use the guitar by the producers, as they "thought it would look beautiful on camera and with the set."
Elvis Presley’s 1942 Martin D-18 acoustic guitar may have recently sold for $1.32 million, but fear not - another of the King’s axes, this one his cherry-red Hagstrom Viking II electric guitar, famous for its use in the legendary '68 Comeback Special, is hitting the block.
The semi hollow instrument is a highlight of Kruse GWS Auctions’ Artifacts of Hollywood & Music auction, which begins on March 27. It's being offered with a starting bid of $250,000.
By Matt Owen published March 31, 2021 Now, it has been confirmed that the legendary semi-hollow has been sold for a whopping $625,000, with the proud new owner of the lot managing to outbid six other plucky bidders to get their hands on the prized piece of music memorabilia.
The ‘68 Comeback Special marked Elvis' return to live performance after seven years spent focused on acting in Hollywood films. The televised concert, which launched Presley's return to live touring, featured him playing the Hagstrom for the opening segment as well as during one of the live "stand-up" segments. Suspicious Minds was the last hit Evils had in his career. © Larry D. Pifer
Thank you! I live info like this!
💗💗💗 *Only Angelina Jordan, can take an amazing song, from a phenomenal artist, & make it her own* 💗💗💗 I have often been lost for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's unique vocals, & I still cannot express, or even come to terms, with what my ears are hearing, most times, but one thing I absolutely do know, is that, when I hear her voice, it always touches my soul, & can make me feel things I didn't even know existed!!! To me, that is her gift, & what makes her, not only a singer, but an incredible soulful artist 💝 *SHE TRULY IS A GIFT* 💝
The slapping has only just begun!
Welcome to the birth of a legend. Here’s a little background info on Angelina.
“When I sing I go to another world. The world is endless. It's like, full of happiness. I love it. It's amazing. And when I am on stage, I don't want to go [leave the stage]. [laughing]. I just want to be on stage" A snippet of Skaylan’s interview of Angelina Jordan (age 12) on Norwegian TV - November 2018. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru RUclips of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus the opening soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. Some call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She recently dropped Her EP 'Old Enough' which includes 6 original tracks. She has been indicating she will be releasing another EP of originals by Christmas.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the copyright for. Her version is available on iTunes and Spotify & is included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. After Heidi's golden buzzer for her audition of BR, Angelina went directly to the finals where she sang YBR. After the "secret voting", she placed 6th in the competition and was eliminated from the competition. After first refusing to sign with AGT because of contract demands, a re-worked contract was eventually signed which freed Angelina from any commitments or record deal if she performed.
She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings ♥👣👸🏻
Black and white version, 9yr 2mth, Angelina cover "I put a spell on you".
At 17 years old, she now has a recording career longer than that of the Beatles lol...she's a seasoned professional who has performed like an adult since she was 8...you should go back to then and see her performances on NGT and then 'What a Difference a Day Makes a few months after.
Listen pops. Welcome to the club. There’s somuch older folks that have been captured by this young lady. You would be surprised. Even guys in there 87, and up. So welcome again
LOL - Why do I feel like I am being addressed by one of those older folks? ;-) Thank you for your comment!
She’s one of a kind my friend. Angelina won Norways got Talent at the age of 8 ! She sang “Bang Bang and Summertime “ Please check those out before you listen to her current music. It will blow you away. Her covers of Adel , Whitney , Elvis , Rihana are better than the originals. She performs in bare feet because she met a child in Asia that didn’t have any shoes. After talking to her AJ gave her the shoes she had on and ever since she goes barefoot to call to attention all the children that don’t have shoes to ware. She did an interview in Norway that will melt your heart . She tells about meeting the girl and giving her the shoes. She also sings during the interview.
You've only just begun........
You’re going to love this very talented lady. She releases her power only when she feels the song calls for it. Just when you think you know her voice she surprises me again and again. She won Norway’s Got Talent in 2014 at the age of 7 with the song “summertime “. Great reaction.🎼👍🏼🤗💞

Thank you! 😊😊
You're welcome and thank YOU for commenting!
Pleace react more of angelina
Will do!
Great reaction
Thank you!
Angelina is amazing and well worth a deep dive starting from her childhood and if you expect childish performances you'll soon be proven wrong. I'm 79 and she's one of the most surprising singers of my lifetime!
Wecome to the world of Angelina Jordan. Angelina is a child prodigy and has been singing since the age of one and a half. She is known as the barefoot princes as she always performs barefoot when she sings. She befriended a little girl in her family's travels in the middle East and gave her her shoes because the girl could not afford any shoes and she has since never performed with shoes on until all the children of the world have them. Angelina won Norway's. Got talent at the age of 8 singing Gershwin's Summertime in the style of Louis Armstrong. Angelina is very jazz influenced from a young age with her mentors being Etta. James, Ella Fitzgerald, Lewis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and modern mentors like Whitney Houston, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Nora Jones and even Elvis Presley. Angelina has recorded over 225 covers and originals in the last seven or eight years. She has just released her newest EP with six fantastic tracks that I hope you get a chance to listen to in the near future. Angelina is now 17 years of age and starting her journey into more mainstream music scene. She is a vintage timeless artist who is able to bring her jazz influenced vocals into the modern realm of pop and give us a taste of something very fresh and very new. You will find that all her fans are called angels and they are very protective of this young creature as was her family when she was growing up. She signed with Republic records at 14 and is touted as their most cherished young artist in their catalog. They gave Angelina her own recording studio to work on all her new music and are taking the time to let her develop her unique and natural talents. Angelina you will find is a very humble, sincere and loving compassionate soul. Angelina has raised millions of dollars for children's charities over the past 8 years and has sung for royalty and huge crowds all over the world. I would suggest a listen to her at 9 years old in her cover of Screamin. Jay Hawkins" I put a spell on you" the 1956 version. Her studio black and white video is a mind-blowing and eye opening experience that I'm sure you will really enjoy. . Keep posting my friend as you enjoy the journey that we all have. Sending you much thanks and love from Canada.👍🇨🇦❤️
Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful comment. I'm looking forward to exploring this amazing artist. I appreciate your stopping by!
It doesn't matter what your wheel house is. She will fit in very nicely with whatever you like. This girl can sing anything and she can sing it about as good as anything you have ever heard.
Great reaction. You have no idea what you were in store for. Please continue with your Angelina Jordan journey. I subbed.

That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, three years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records
Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
AJ now lives in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the record company Republic Records has built a separate music studio for her. She states; "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record companies in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music. There will also be a lot of concerts in the future because I have released an EP. I will soon go on a world tour and play my songs, (This was stated to TV2 in Norway on Aug. 21, 2023) © Larry D.

Simply amazing. Thank you for this detailed and well written comment. I truly appreciate it!
show must go on
Follow this girl and you will have wonderful journey;) From roughly 7 years old to current 17, she will never disappoint! She is about 200 for 200 so far! lol She doesn't miss! You just pick a vid a win;) The person, the story, the vocals are all amazing! Enjoy;)
She sang for Quincy Jones and he was so impressed he remarked that she is the next best thing since Michael Jackson. High phrase indeed. You can choose ANYTHING she has done, original or cover and you are going to be blown away. Yes she is that good.
This young lady is the best ❤
Subscribed for your Angelina Jordan journey. This is gonna be fun ride. You’ll see.
I have no doubt. Thank you for your comment!
The best I've heard since I discovered Elvis in 1958 !!!
She is the best documented prodigy ever. Videos going back to 1 1/2 with her matching notes with Whitney Houston. She will go down in history as one of the best ever.
Angelina is sixteen years old in this performance. She is currently seventeen and she will be turning eighteen on January 10, 2024. She is the most musically gifted and talented young artist I have ever heard. Pianist Rob Christie is a two time Grammy award winner. He wrote the musical arrangement and Angelina created the vocal arrangement to this cover.
A complete and amazing performance and rendition. I was surprised, to say the least. Thank you for your comment.
A nice first reaction! Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, helped produced this. She used the same store (Melrose Gallery in L.A.) she used for her My Funny Valentine and I Have Nothing videos. Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano once again. He is also the music director of Republic Records, the music company she is signed with. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis from his comeback concert. What a performance and homage to The King!
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone . Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 17 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out later this year. Angelina just recently released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to be a superstar, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
I love when artists have fans like Angelina apparently has. It is so nice to see people get invested into an artist that they love. It seems to happen so seldom these days. Thank you very much for your comment and the information!
@@ThePentagenarian As such a fan myself... I think it is partly a RUclips phenomenon in the sense that we can follow, via YT videos, her career (and some aspects of her life) over so many years - her Grandma Mery recently released a video of Angelina singing Dolly Parton's song I Will Always Love You (the Whitney version) in her cot at the age of 18 months and it is amazing - and we become addicted followers who feel pride as she progresses.... also she has a very compelling (kind and compassionate) personality.
More please
Addictive
Thank you for your reaction to Angelina Jordan. I am sorry that Angelina doesn't belt often. We have countless singers who can and do. Angelina only belts when she believes the song calls for it. Angelina is my all time favorite singer storyteller as she makes me FEEL her music more than any other. Every beautiful note has an intention to take us on a journey through the song and her rich, deep, full tone conveys the emotion. If you want to have more stories sung to you, then you have more than 200 to choose from by Angelina. If you want belting, you have more than 2000 singers to choose from.
For comments was in no way intended to be any type of a critique. It was merely my stating that I would like to hear her about something out because of the power she holds within. I have had a few people recommend her rendition of the Whitney Houston song that she did, so I will be reacting to that. The entire point of that statement was to emphasize the fact that I think she would put pretty much all of the other ones out there to shame. Thank you for your comment and I hope this clarified my meaning.
@@ThePentagenarian I would have guessed that was your meaning but I couldn't resist emphasizing how great a storyteller Angelina is. So many classic songs, which I have heard countless times in my 65 years, that I never heard or understood the lyrics and the meaning of the song until I heard Angelina sing them. She has re-imagined so many of the elite artists of the past and now is blessing us with her own music. I greatly appreciate the exchange of comments.
Yes Andy. Belting is just one of the many things in Angelina’s tool box. She uses it when needed to tell the story. Never just to show off which unfortunately some singers do. Her take on this song definitely does not call for belting.
@@pjg58x oh, don't misunderstand, I think this rendition is perfect. I am merely saying that after a single listen, I want more because I can only imagine!
Thank you for your comment!
GREETINGS EARTH GUY: Your happiness quotient will increase to the degree you go down this rabbit hole.
Never know.. I might be the Pentagenalien.... :-)
Thank you for your comment!
Hope you enjoy and share a deeper dive into AJ's life work. She was 16 when she recorded this version of Suspicious Minds. Feel free to go back in time to when she was six years old. I suspect I am a decade or two older than you and have enjoyed all kinds of music over my life. I have never encountered anyone like AJ, her talent, her character, her innate beauty, all converge into a presence that cannot be ignored. She literally lights up any room or stage she enters. Her stage presence is commanding now and has been since she was a child and there are probably more than 250 videos on RUclips to demonstrate that. I am sure you will hear much more from her dedicated fans.
I heard it was Rob Christie's arrangement...how to confirm?
You may well be correct. I have seen no attribution for the arrangement but as the pianist he would logically have much to do with it. So I have edited my comment and provide no attribution. Thanks for your comment.
@@nyima04011
@@nyima04011I understand Rob Christie was responsible for the piano arrangement .
I am an 80yr old doowop lover and I love Angelina, I think she's the best female singer in the world. I listen to her every day. I'm also a Zappa fan
Very beautiful reaction, thanks and welcome in the magical musical world of Angelina. From the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, you just wish the song was much longer. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath and her peculiar jazz tone, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, I love this absolutely amazing, so personal rewrite of this iconic song, with so many Elvis tribute details. Now it's a different song, but it's also the same, it still has that harmony, but somehow (in a way only Angelina can process) it's even more emotional, it's slower, but it's so close to your soul flow that kidnaps you. 💛🧡❤
You want power? Check out her version of It's a man's world. Thumb up.
AJ is know as the girl with a thousand voices, all emotionally expressing the story of the song. She sings in many different genres and many believe her covers are more moving than the originals. She also has many original songs and may as good a writer as she is a vocalist. As good as her recordings are she sounds even better live.❤
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina the princess of 🎷azz music who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason...enjoy...👑🗣🎙

You are at the edge of one very large musical rabbit hole...over two hundred RUclips/TikTok recordings. She usually arranges her own music, and has been singing since before the age of seven.
Many years ago I stated, 'the girl with 1000 voices" ...still holds true
Thank you for discovering Angelina. I hope that you will continue featuring her on your channel, for she is worth every nanosecond you spend increasing your knowledge of her.
The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
listen to Million Miles ....Live in studio......she wrote......listen to her power at 9 yrs old singing I Put A Spell On You!!
Thank you for the comment and recommendations!
That was simply beautiful !!
Angelina is from Norway, currently age 17 she lives in LA now. She competed on Norway's Got Talent at age 7, won at age 8. Appeared on AGT Champions at age 13, and released an original EP this year. Her Grandmother is the one who played this classic music that she fell in love with. She does do the arrangements, she is the boss. She is still so young, but sounds like someone 30,40, 50 years older. She has been describrd as "an old soul", to which I completely agree.
Unleash the Power, you ask??? Try one of my favorites, her cover of "I Put A Spell On You" ,at age 9. Check out her version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody from the AGT appearance at age 13.
And some songs from her new EP, "Love Don't Let Me Go", "Now I'm the Fool", and "All My Fault"
Thank you Chris. You are my "Encyclopedia Musical"!
@@ThePentagenarian LOL. Just a lot of extra time to research the stuff I found, and continue to follow, when the world shut down . 😁
@@chriso6719 It is appreciated!
Great reaction and insight. Here are all the basics!
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 the youngest ever vocalist 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 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 unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not 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 are changing rapidly as she has now graduated school. She has recently 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. The four other songs have been released as visualizers, but where it is that videos are coming. A world tour is in the works, likely for the fall, accompanying her full album release.
Here is a chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of Angelina's 200 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The list begins with some originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday at age 7 on NGT.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. 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 donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and 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.
I always include the artist name and original link. In addition, I do not plan to monetize individual videos. I guess I am old school in that respect. Back in the day of Music critics and such they were paid by newspapers, in the newspapers were paid for by the readers. Eventually I hope to see people pledging a dollar a month on Patreon should they decide what I do is worth it. :-)
Hey RON!
@@ThePentagenarianLoved your speechless reaction 😉. I'm sure the artist appreciates your providing the link to the video in your description. Monetization actually has nothing to do with the reason for my comment. I am a very strong advocate for both reaction channels like yours and also aspiring young artists like Angelina. The algorithm drives the channels and liking, commenting, sharing, and subscribing are the things that boost the algorithm. But many reactors don't realize that the artist algorithm needs to be boosted as well as yours. They have their own channel and original videos which you are linking, and I encourage you to provide links to their RUclips channel, and suggest that your viewers also go to the artist channel and do the things suggested that of course you would also recommend for your own channel. After all, reaction channels would not exist without these inspirational artists! To summarize, what I really like to see in a reaction channel is a win-win with equal priority for both the reactor and artist. Having taken in thousands of reactions over the past few years, I find that the channels with more subscriptions and patreon are those who are actively supporting and promoting the fan's favorite artists. Peace and love.
@@stillracer2514 Racer! Are you following me around? 😁. Thanks for saying hi and hope you're having a great week. I'm sure we will touch base soon.
Hey Ron my friend and fellow Angelina Angel 😇 👋🇨🇭🙋♂️
Angelina has a beautiful unique silvery vibrato which she always had from 7 years old , the vibrato has matured now she is 17 years old, Angelina’s beautiful jazzy soulful pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul, she is a musical genius, yes she arranges everything she does even from 7 years old!
Yes, this was her arrangement; if you like a dusky voice I think you will love Angelina... She does have a powerful voice though she doesn't unleash it unecessarily.... I think she's fantastic and if you explore you will discover she has sung many style, mostly on the jazz / blues end of things... Pretty sure you are going to enjoy finding out more about her....
AJ is an extremely talented vocalist that has song many musical genres, all with a high degree of proficiency and from a very early age. She won the Norway's Got Talent competition at age 8 after auditioning when she was 7. AJ is a jazz goddess in the words of one the NGT members following her audition. Her recent originals, from her "Old Enough" EP, merge classic jazz and blues with contemporary hip-hop, rap and pop (and some other styles I have not identified). The vocal dexterity shows exhibits is, indeed, otherworldly.
I am looking forward to this journey! Thank you very much for your comment!
❤️ your reaction and Welcome to Angelina’s World, 👍🥰 from a Angelina fan ❤️
Another popular reacter commented after watching a few of her performances, "It's unfair to everyone else singing out there."
She's still minor and, as I understand it, her parents continue to guide her exposure.
What a beautiful tribute to the King. Loved your reaction to this song.
She does every kind of music and can flex her voice to suit, yet it is always distinctively her.... don't know how she manages that. So dont expect 2 songs to sound the same. Her new EP OLD ENOUGH celebrates the fact that her parents have given the OK for Republic Records to push her out now she's finished school at 17. She keeps her seductive vocal character consistent for her EP, but rings the changes with different cocktails of genres. Soul, Pop, Jazz, R&B, even one line of lyrical rap. Tied together with catchy funky beats. She rings in the new and encorporates her extensive education with the vintage greats. You never learn everything from one song as she is an artist and never shows all her vocal skills in one song. It's never about ego. From her earliest studio session at 6 years old she is astounding. Watch this 6 year old Norwrigan girl enjoying herself singing Tom Jones I WHO HAVE NOTHING after you have picked your jaw off the floor try her at 9 years old a gritty rendition of I PUT A SPELL ON YOU with a live Jazz band. By the way no one in her family is a musician or singer. They knew how to nurture a child prodigy because her grandma was a famous child prodigy poet and painter.
I hope you read the comment and the infirmation given by hrr duper fans, the Angels. Her fans mostky as old as you. Welcome to AJ world!
Oh, don't you worry, I have been. I firmly believe that her parents have done a brilliant job thus far. If my thought processes are correct, I think that she is going to go supernova when she "takes control" of the trajectory she is on. Take a moment to consider what has been accomplished thus far. I have read multiple comments that her biggest fan base is presently "older" people. In doing this, her parents have entrenched her in a very hard to crack demographic of listeners that most new artists have difficulty breaking into. Now, imagine, if you will, her gradually moving into a younger audience by unleashing that power that is so evident. By doing that, she will conquer the ENTIRE music listening world.
Brilliant.
Thank you very much for your comment!
I'm here for more Angelina and of course The Warning!
Welcome to the 12 years and going Angelina Jordan Journey 🙏🏻 🎉
Over 200+ songs going back to 6 years of age and every bit worth to the ear!
Power you say my nordic folk fan friend, how about James Brown Its a Mans World sung at age 12 outdoor live concert backed by the Norweigen Military Corp band!
Angelina sings how Angelina wants to sing, she is the boss. She writes and arranges. Plays instruments and sings since almost birth.
Angelina never brlt.belts just to show she can. It has to be integral to her interpretation of the song. Her voice is so expressive in chest, mixed, snd head voice that she rarely needs to belt. In fact she frequently drops to her powerful lower register to convey her emotion.
"Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by the American songwriter Mark James. After this recording failed commercially, it was recorded by Elvis Presley with the producer Chips Moman. Presley's version reached No.1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and it was his last hit record.
Consider this; there are lots of performers that impersonate Elvis, and some can sound just like him. Have you ever experienced someone that sounds like Angelina Jordan, let me be the first to answer that question, the answer in no. That is because AJ is one of a kind, and on a level that supersedes all others. If you question what I have just stated just listen to the professional voice teachers after experiencing AJ. They all admit that they are speechless because they have never heard anyone like AJ.
The children are AJ two little cousins, they are the daughters of her uncle Mike, he is her manager, and the oldest girl is her younger sister, Juliette.
This is my 126th time experiencing this video, and each and every time it gets better. We must give credit to the support team behind this phenom. There is no one on earth that can match the talent of this STORYTELLER. AJ deconstructs a song then reconstruct it to make each individual hearing it feel it was written for them, a love letter to their comfort zone.
Melrose Gallery is the same antique store in Hollywood that she used for My Funny Valentine
AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book.
No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can.
At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been.
What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs. © Larry D. Pifer
Again, I must say I really do appreciate your insights. These type of additions are absolutely wonderful!

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, the little ones in the video were her cousins and the older child is her sister. Just in case u were wondering. Her grandmother I believe had a hand in their appearance. 🤗
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust. © Larry D. Pifer
Thank you very much for this insightful interpretation. I definitely appreciate your comment!
Oh boy. You are in for a treat when you tumble into the AJ rabbit hole. You will not encounter anything you will not like. I promise.
She had that powerful voice right from the beginning. She recorded I Who Have Nothing when she was 6 years old. I wish you could react to this song, because it shows how much talent she had even then. I really liked your reaction.Thank you.
If it is available, I will indeed react to it. I tend to walk on to artists like a Doberman when I enjoy them. Thank you very much for your consideration and your comment!

Nice job and welcome to the "Barefoot Princess. Angelina also has plenty of awesome originals FYI and thanks!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment.
Glorious voice, beautifully sung rendition but I am not sure it was the best way to present this song.
"She's something!" Yep and more! She can "unleash", but that's really not what she's about. You saw on the screen Whitney's "I Have Nothing" cover. Power if you want it. She's more about emotional nuance with a jazz feel. Her new EP, "Old Enough" shows where she is. Tons of stuff show where she came from. "I Put a Spell On You" at age 9 (b/w studio) is spectacular. Her Norway's Got Talent stuff at 7/8 is great. America's Got Talent has her version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13. Simply amazing. We are envious that you get to hear her for the first time in different voices, styles, genres. Enjoy!
Thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated!
I'm not sure where your wheel house is, but I expect that in Angelina Jordan's wide spectrum of songs you will find many to enjoy! This young artist is 17 years old, but has been in the industry for almost 10 years. I think she is generally considered to be a Jazz singer, but she has not been afraid to reinvent songs by Elvis, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Freddie Mercury as well many female artists from the past and present. Her voice is so versatile, she can do so many things, but only as appropriate to the song. For Angelina the story is of prime importance, she uses her vocal skills to bring out the emotion of a song, she feels the music and invites the listener to join her in living the story. If passion is what you are looking for you have come to the right place.
You might like to start with her rendition of I put a spell on you, in the original style of Jay Hawkins. Here she is just 9 years old, but sounds so much more mature than you can believe and exudes the passion that Jay Hawkins intended, but her her there is less theatre and more musicality... ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html
I am a huge fan of very aggressive music, but that does not preclude my being able to enjoy other types of music and a variety of artists. I try not to pigeonhole myself. Thank you very much for your comments and recommendations!
She is a prodigy ❤ beautiful tribute to Elvis!
She has been arrainging her songs since she was 9 yo. For power try her cover of I HAVE NOTHING by Witney Huston.
I agree, for power this is one of her best, BUT, which cover? "I Have Nothing" is one of her most favorite songs and she has covered it close to 10 times that I am aware of! And that is the ones that are on RUclips! The first was at the age of 13! It is great especially for a 13 yo. She did it much the same as Whitney, and you can tell towards the end her voice was getting tired. Starting in 2022 at her concerts in Norway she did it several times and has done it several other times since. She no longer does it in the same key as Whitney because she has a much deeper voice, but the range and power are still there every time! As for which is better than the others, if you asked 8 different fans you would get 8 different answers! They are all great. To give you a hint as to her power and stamina, check out her first performance in Norway in 2022 ( Allsang pa Grensen, the outdoor sing-a-long concert that she has performed at several times since she was 8 years old). She was suffering from jet lag having arrived just a few hours earlier from California where she now lives. Also the wind was blowing very bad! There were technical problems, both with her and with the TV crew. They had her sing the song again and with only one minute and 47 seconds between performances. The second performance is the one used on TV and on RUclips. A couple of others that show her power (there are several more) would be "It's a Man's World" at 12 yo performed with Norway's military band, and Queen's "The Show Must Go On" at 13. Also I would recommend going to Rusty Shackleford's RUclips channel for an almost complete playlist of her songs (202 songs).
Enjoyed your 1st reaction to Angelina very much! I think I can confidently say that Angelina will definitely be "In your wheelhouse". There is just something about her that will draw you in, she is a storyteller of the highest level. Her cover of "I Put A Spell On You" at age 9 is a must reaction, it is a truly phenomenal performance. But really anything she sings is amazing, you'll see. I think i'll subscribe, because you are gonna fall in love with this girl, she is that good.
To see her releasing that power, Check out her "Tribute to Whitney Houston" at still 12 years old or just turned 13. It's in the list that I posted in another comment.
...another Angel Sir...first time see your channel! You have listen to the past and future gem of music, hope you'll follow here, it will be the best time of your live... Greatings from Berlin...😉✒️
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment! I am looking forward to this journey of discovery.
Congratulations, you just stumbled on my favorite "vocal artist," not just singer, of my lifetime. I stumbled on her 6 years ago & have been listening to her every day since then. Her ability to transfer emotion to her listeners is unmatched by any other vocalist I have heard, male or female, & I've been listening since the 60's. Liked & subed for your Angelina journey, just as she is about to explode in popularity when she becomes a legal "adult" on Jan 10, 2024 & her family lets her fly.
I think the world is about to go crazy! She is absolutely phenomenal!
Check out I have nothing I have put a spell on you stay easy on me for a few more current songs are great too. She has been directing her own accompaniment since she was 4 years old. She also has written 140+ songs of her own knows at least 2 languages well and plays 4 instruments. She won Norway got talent 7 to 8 yrs old.
