    Well brother, welcome to the world of Angelina...once your hooked, our Angel is the musical drug of choice. I'm a 68 year old rocker who discovered this Norwegian beauty 4 years ago. I was scrolling through RUclips and came across this clip and I've followed her since. Now at 16 with well over 160+ covers and 5 orginals, you have a huge rabbit hole to dive into. Angelina is in my top three of all time female vocalists. So, I just sub'd to watch your journey and will, with the rest of the Angels, help guide you through what she has to offer. Welcome, sit back and enjoy the ride.

    Angelina Jordan Astar is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. Angelina was first recorded on tape, singing a Whitney Houston song at 1 1/2 years old. She began teaching herself to sing at 2 years old. Her first studio recording was made at 6, with her singing "I Who Have Nothing." Angelina's primary focus has been on the great jazz masters, such as Screamin Jay Hawkins's 1956 classic, "I Put a Spell on You," sung in Hawkins own style.
    At 7, her parents relented; allowing her to audition on Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition, and no one was prepared for her. A diminutive 7 year old, mussy haired, barefooted, and teeth still growing in, stepped onto the stage of NGT. Her first performance was "Gloomy Sunday," Sung in the style of Billie Holiday. She went on to win shortly after turning 8. Her parents insisted that she should enjoy as normal a childhood as possible, which has been the reason she's down under the radar. Nonetheless, Angelina has performed around the world and performed for Heads of State and many others, such as Quincy Jones, Alan Walker, and Noah Jones.
    She's performed over 180 covers and has 5 originals, all by the age of 15. Angelina will be turning 17 in January 2023. She now lives in LA. Deciding on not signing a contract through America's Got Talent The Champions in 2020, she was prevented from being able to advance to the top 10 level. Her audition for AGT-TC was her own arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Her audition earned a golden buzzer, as well as a congratulatory tweet from Queen. Queen subsequently gave Angelina the rights to her version of their song. Angelina also turned down a contract with Disney. She did, however, sign with Republic Records at 14. Republic gave her complete artistic control and control over the release dates. As she graduates high school in 2023, we are expecting an album and possible live performance in the US.
    - The Barefoot Princess -
    Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz", amongst many other names. She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio performance. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at age 6, Angelina came across an orphaned girl, of her own age, sitting in the street, weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. Angelina said to herself, "I would like to share her life for one second to know what it is like to sit alone, wet, and damp, and barefoot in a corner of the street." Angelina could see the girl's bare feet were scarred and that it was cold outside, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina says that she really loved her shoes, as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them. But she saw the other little girl’s need for them, which outweighed her own desire to keep them. So she insisted the little girl take them.
    Angelina called her Princess, even though the girl said she didn't live in a castle, but the ruins of a building next to where she sat. After sharing their hopes and dreams, the little girl said of Angelina's wish to sing for the world, "You will become the one you dream of and when your dreams come true you, have to remember the poor children without shoes; and I will pray for you Angelina.” Later that day 6 y/o Angelina wrote in her diary, "The world is very strange. Right then and there, I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.”
    From that point on, Angelina takes off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world, who are orphaned, hungry, or in want of even basic clothing. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone continued to ask why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, created the artwork for the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina has performed alongside many other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars for children in need.

      @@Hey_Jamie, Your "opinion" differs from a lot of people. I'm 68 and have heard a LOT of really good singers over the years. None in recent years, until this young lady, has moved me or made me feel the music like she does. There are so many artists and groups that people claim are better, but without auto tune or blaring music to drown out the imperfections of their voices, they would be nothing, in my opinion. I happen to agree with @janeaustin3184

    Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - 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 the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html

    Hello sir. No soul crushing allowed. The fact you think you don't possess the talent Angelina Jordan possesses, doesn't necessarily mean that is so.

    It is normal for a reactor who listens to Angelina for the first time, especially this cover, to be displaced.
    He is a genius and cannot be labeled.
    If you liked it, have a nice trip to Angelina's world. It's very long, 200 covers of the highest level (some are masterpieces) + 5 originals, also masterful.
    I forgot, from the age of 8 she arranges songs often changing the lyrics.
    The very next cover to listen to according to the standard is: "Bohemian Rhapsody".

    I understand your reaction to a 9 yr old child prodigy, Norwegian Jazz singer Angelina Jordan. I listen to her arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins's original song "Spell on You" over & over in disbelief! I found her performance on the "Norway Got Talent" 2014 season went she was 7 years old. I was blown away by her version of "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday and Her last performance of "Summer Time," winning the show and a worldwide fan base she calls her "Angels." Warning, You may fall into Angelina's "Rabbit Hole" with no way out and become another "Angel"!

  • @McDevittMike
    @McDevittMike Год назад +52

    No, you're not supposed to be able to sing like that at 9, although Angelina had already demonstrated that she was an incredible jazz singer by the time she got to this ridiculous arrangement - her own - and probably the best video produced so far this century. There is so much more to learn about this genius child. 😎

    What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! 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's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens 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. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon.
    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 rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple 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. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota wherein lies a huge Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻

    9 years old, singing jazz for 6 years. Billie Holiday is her base to include other mentors of Ella, Etta, Louis, Frank, Elvis, and many more. She soaks up styles and singing characteristics like a sponge. We know the confusion when first hearing this and other songs she does. It comes from seeing this little child but hearing a seasoned professional with jazzy bluesy qualities. It's only the beginning of discovering her music in Angelina's Wonderland. Her musical skills and her humble humanitarian heart are already legendary at her now 16 years old.

Some other reactors even ask the people to watch the original video too and like it too for to support Angelina - you know: Because of the algorythm... 😉
    (all the links to her web sites, YT-channels and the web site of Republic Records with her introduction you find in my first comment 😃 )

    The Original was by the author Screaming Jay Hawkins the more famous version is by Nina Simone from the 60's, I think, and now Angelina. Though I'm sure numerous others have sung it. You may have thought, Any Winehouse, but there was a bit of Louis Armstrong in there. She was brought up on the Jazz Masters Ella, Washington, Armstrong, Gershwin, Billie Holiday.

    I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
    Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.

    We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares.
    You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻

    Hi there just subbed for your journey with my Granddaughter by heart Angelina Jordan Astar - we all saw her grow up in Front of our eyes and every Angel (she gave us Fans that name) has adopted her too - maybe one thing to add is that you have not heard from her because her family is very protective and tried to grant Angelina a somehow normal childhood and best education in turning down a lot of big record companies and even Disney who showed up in Norway at her door with big Whalets after Angelina had won her National Talentshow at age 7/8 - she was allowed to do charity events and concerts in her holliday time only - after 2020 agt the Champions her family and she wisely joined Republic Records with the complete freedom to do her Art as she please and dont get promoted until she graduates school (hopefully she will finish highschool next year as we all wait for her new Album to come up) - Mark my words - next year Fall or Winter you can listen to her music everywhere on Radio - cheers from a 58 year old fanboy from Germany (soon 59)....

    JUST SUBSCRIBED. YES, Angelina (AJ) is a prodigy. Her grandmother Mery Zamani is an internationally known artist (painter) who introduced Angelina to jazz from the time she was born and Mery is considered a prodigy as well and she has always been an inspiration for AJ. We are privileged to witness the evolution of this incredible artist from age 6 to now 16 with over 200 videos from about 100 different artists plus 5 originals, 2 written for her and one demo that was never released (at 10). AJ is a humble, generous, kind, empathetic and elegant young lady and soon to be the next big superstar. She signed with Republic Records at 14 and will be 17 next month (Jan.10,2023) and is due to release her first album with RR sometime next year. Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT at 13, Feeling Good at 10, and Suspicious Minds at 16 is a good start to see this artist's talent. Cheers from Florida

    Welcome to the amazing world of Angelina Jordan! Your confusion is not unusual. I know several singers who refused to believe she is really singing this. You will find she is a musical chameleon who can blend many different styles from many different singers to create her own style. There are plenty of good suggestions below for what to listen to. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose. She is that good!

Angelina sings in 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts)"Norway's youngest published author" a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when her audition for Billy Hollowday's Gloomy Sunday went viral and she got world press she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. In her younger years before age 13, she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle, a manager, who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 8 years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Her mother and or her Grandmother never more than a breath away) Angelina has donated millions to environmental causes and children's causes around the world. Angelina has produced over 160 covers, and 6 originals and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this"rabbit hole" not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own is just unbelievable. Angelina writes her own music and produces it Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, and what is Life to name a few. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, and her father is from Sweeden. The " world-known artist'" grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran, and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, and Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather and her original cut Shield is about the people that protected her and watched over her during her performances and travels. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2020 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, and Save the world she's on her way, after school, to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.

    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. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz. And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Lastly, did you notice how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing.
    The barefoot is part of Angelina's mission to get shoes all kids of this world and she set up a charity for this. When she visited Iran, her grandmothers country of origin, she saw a young girl barefoot begging at the side of the road. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and decided to always perform without shoes. Along with her grandmother, who is a known artist, they wrote and published a book about the incident. It made Angelina the youngest person in Norway to publish a book. The proceedes go to her charity, so far she has collected, along with others, over 21 million Euro's.

    She was 9 when she recorded this. Just to set you up a little, she entered a Talent Show at 7 years old (turned 8 during the taping of the Show) and won. The final song she sang was George Gershwin's 'Summertime'. You have no idea what you just stumbled into!

She has nearly 200 songs and a very loyL fan base called Angels. My favourite of her recent ones 16 years old SUSPICIOUS MINDS. Watch the one in the antique shop as the arrangement is pure Angelina. The one live with the band is not as good because the band goes back to a more traditional arrangement.

    • @ryanjacob3338
      @ryanjacob3338 Год назад +3

      The arrangement in suspicious minds is pure Angelina, but it is credited to Rob Christie, her pianist in every video since republic records signed her, and head of Republic LA, Grammy winner etc. Because as you say it is pure Angelina, as if she wrote it herself, written perfectly for her, I took it as a message from Rob that he's on board with what she does and isn't trying to change her in any way.

    Your curiosity is going to get to you anyway after you’re bombarded with info about her, so may I humbly suggest that your first couple of songs of hers to look at be those from Norway’s Got Talent when she was 7 and 8. You might then jump to her version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ America’s Got Talent. After that, she does three or four of Adele’s songs and finally, I’d suggest that you end with her third version of Whitney’s ‘I Have Nothing’. Of course, in between there are another 175 other songs to knock your socks off. Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan…PS: we’re all hooked.

    Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz.
    She is now 16 (as of 1/10/2022 ) years old and stands around 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one : ( ruclips.net/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/видео.html )

    plus a new release in month April 2021 of '7 th Heaven" link: (ruclips.net/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/видео.html )

    And her latest awesome cover of "My Funny Valentine" at her current age of just 16. : ( ruclips.net/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/видео.html )
    She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song.
    she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :
    To bring you up to date on her background: ruclips.net/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/видео.html
    (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the link ruclips.net/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/видео.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old )
    later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
    She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing
    1, Shield ,, ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html
    2. Oslo,, ruclips.net/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/видео.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway)
    3. What Is Life,, .ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html
    4. Above the water,, ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html
    5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html
    ( plus a few more recent originals from her not listed here)
    Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert.
    When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road".

    She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan girl she met girl whom was around her own age of around 6 years old who had no shoes and had scars on her feet; and also to bring awareness to children around the world who are in a similar situations . The little girl was weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings.
    Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made becuase of the encounter with this little orphan girl from then on . Angelina has honored that pledge to bring awareness for orphan and shoeless children around the world by performing always barefoot since that time , now ten years ago ,as she is currently 16 years old as of January 2022

    Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a octave range that matches Whitney Huston but she excels in her lower register and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021.
    Angelina any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..

    Hearing her for the first time challenged my beliefs about what is possible. Many have been stunned and thought “how can such a young child convey such mature emotions?” The “old soul” explanation probably has some truth, but it’s also worth realizing that young children experience intense emotions, possibly more intense than at any other time. She gives a voice to this intensity in a way that goes right to the Heart. You can hear a different side of her in each song she sings. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions to her music.

    @alberttenfoot Год назад +3

    Thank you for discovering Angelina. She is well worth every moment you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on RUclips, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she con convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
    Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956. She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
    Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are
    (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
    (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
    (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
    (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
    (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
    (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand
    (g) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
    Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.

    Great first reaction! 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. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered 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!" 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 16 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out next year. She recently 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.
    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 shoeless homeless 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. 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!

    If you want, check out the original by "Screaming" Jay Hawkins, whose face was on that candle in the beginning. It was his original upon which Angelina, at age 9, based her arrangement. Yes, child prodigy, won Norway's Got Talent (competing with adults) at age 8 after auditioning for it at age 7 with old jazz. She is 16 in 2022 and has a birthday in January. Among her jazz influences, besides Jay Hawkins: Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, then the crooners that were in the next generation, ie Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Patsy Cline, etc. She's compared to Amy Winehouse and Adele, but she really has her own sound, though she admits to some influence. I don't know what you normally react to, but you seemed a bit spun around and unsure. You might want to check out her AGT Champions performance at age 13 of her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Grandma Ellen, weighing in. 💜

    Great reaction to (9) Angie. Angie said it in an interview a year later (when she was around 10 at interview) about this song: “It means love , Desperate love. It's very special, it's almost voodoo , The original is very nice, and when I scream it is a desperate cry that everyone should love each other.”- AJ.
    I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her
    own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a
    spell on you” at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C season 2 Angie & her grandma Mery made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back
    in Norway. They made several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Hearts” & she was/is the youngest
    to be published in Norway. (Why does Angie sing barefoot) Angelina gives a short little interview when
    she was 9) explaining why she performs barefoot & about the book she wrote. Angelina Jordan interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV “Lindmo” 14/11/2015 (eng & esp sub) (You really need to react to this) ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html
    during interview she is ask to sing. (Please do a reaction to this very touching story & also part 2 below is her singing) together their about 6 min.
    Part 2 Angie sings “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers at (9)
    ruclips.net/video/wGjqXxQbFgA/видео.html this is also a nice video to react to as a double reaction
    Angie has arranged over 200 covers from 70 different artist so far & written 5 songs
    & she also had 2 written for her so far. Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. She’s also mastered over 10 genre’s by age 13. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot Angel/Princess with a 1000 voices” & the “Queen of jazz”.

    Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me.
    Let’s analyze the video:
    1st you see how small and cute she is.
    2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
    3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
    4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
    5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
    6th the old soul in her voice.
    She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.

    Screaming Jay Hawkings was the orginal, she was 9 years 2 months in this video. Go to Angelina Jordan Norways got Talent on youtube and see her at 7 and 8 years old. Great reaction.

    Amy Winehouse is a common reference point when people hear Angelina, and Angelina has covered some of Amy's songs. Also, Angelina's voice is her instrument and she has more mastery over it than most singers with decades of experience. Many of the songs she covers originally had multiple voices and a full band (or more), but in her arrangements have only a backing guitar and her voice, and her fans still often feel her's is better than the original.

    She was actually 8 at the time she did this song, She was 7 when she won the Talent show in her country. She has been singing from the age of 1 year old.

    New subscriber here, my friend. You reacted the same way as most do when they're introduced to her with this performance. I see I'm already late to the party, so I won't repeat what others have probably already said about her age here and what not 🙂 But I will just reinforce what they probably have told you ; that you have absolutely NO CLUE as to what you've just discovered. IMO she is already, at age 16, one of the very best singers in the world, if not THE best. The G.O.A.T. status will be hers before she hangs up her vocal gloves, believe me. I guess you have got quite a few suggestions already, so I'll just sit patiently and wait for your next reaction to her. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥

    You just stepped onto the edge of the rabbit hole. Don't be afraid Angelina's "Angels",fans, will catch you. You were spellbound by Angelina Jordan at the age of 9. Heritage jump into the rabbit 🐇 hole with the rest of us. You must dig deeper into her past. At the age of 7 and 8 with Norway's Got Talent contest, 2014. Her additions will shine a light on your very soul. Also digging deeper down the hole at the age of 6 Angelina covers Tom Jones "I who have nothing". After doing this you should be able to click your heels three times. Welcome, only if you dare.
