Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina speaks 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) 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 she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. Her younger years before age 13 she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle 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 7years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced over 130 covers, and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this road of experience 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. Angelina writes her own music and produces it. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, her father is from Sweeden The artist grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran and her grandfather (recently deceased) from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2021 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, Save the world shes on her way to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.
Lady, Angelina sang already in her cradle when 18 month old, in English, WHITNEY HOUSTON, Went to the Academy for music and performing Arts at 4, won NGT 2014 when barely 8. The videos of NGT went viral and half a year later, she was a superstar in Asia and the Middle East. When 9 they did this video. Her parents rented the studio including the band. A band member later told this story, that became a legend in Scandinavia: We thought it was a joke for the little girl there, but about 30 seconds into the song we didn't see a little girl anymore, we saw a professional musician, with an uncanny feeling for music. Every change in arrangement she had made, was top on. That people, is why we call her THE BOSS. The respect of musicians world wide has grown for that "little" girl. Today at 15 years, she is 186 cm/6,1 feet tall. Musicians around the world want to colaborate with her. In the year since NGT 2014 she gathered around 30 MILLION USD for Charity and ecological reasons. Here is a concert in 2017 in Seoul/Korea where she was asked by NORA JONES to partisiate just befor NORA: ruclips.net/p/PLqV9F8qHdpZjQ3BghLSPQuPDjKsxkd2Tj Here is an interview where she tells a bit of her story: ruclips.net/video/IeGKKELSpjk/видео.html OK I am a FANBOY, yes, but I researched her carefully, downloaded her book and read it. It is becoming cristal clear, she is not only a musical genius but a genius in the usual sense. Because of her maternal side she was able to learn a lot of languages and is able to communicate fluently. Her dad is Swedish, Mom is Norwegian with international roots, Grandma is a Iranian painter and poetess, and her maternal grandpa was Japanese. Yes she speaks all those languages FLUENTLY. A Japanese paper attested her a very good pronounciacion. I know she plays piano and guitar, it is said she also plays the flute and violin, but that could just be invented. She writes and composes her own songs, sometimes with the help of some friends, and of course she arranges all her cover songs herself. In the hope, that I did not scare you, please stay save and healthy, German greetings God bless
Fantastic reaction, I warned you! She wrote a book about a true experience she had as a 6 year old, that was published when she was 9. You think her singing is like OMG! Get her book, off her channel and read, she is no ordinary child, but gift from God! After you read how this 6 year old thought and put it into words at 9 is mind blowing! "Check out Love on the brain" and God Bless!
Yes she was born to sing, if Elton's your man your in for a soul inspired treat with Angelina's interpretation of " Yellow Brick Road" on her AGT performance, mind blowing!
Yes, 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 music director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. 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. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
There has never been anything like her....ever ! To better understand why she is the most versatile singer of excellence, taking in numerous genres, who has ever graced this planet. It may help your brain a bit if you go through her 130 + catalogue of songs since she was 6.
Yes it is very hard to come to grips with what Angelina has done in this song, what she has done is impossible for a 9 year old to do , but with Angelina "The barefoot Princess of Song" , all established norms do not apply to her, she has started out at at professional level while still just starting grade school. Love your refraction , typical jaw dropping reaction ,no one can ready for Angelina does right from her first note of this song, utter doubt and unbelief is natural when listening to Angelina
Angelina was two months past her 9th birthday at the time of this performance. Here she is seen writing some notes regarding the musical arrangement, bringing a smile to the musical director's face. The barefoot thing is explained in an earlier comment. The girl who received Angelina's shoes promised to pray for Angelina, who would go on to win Norway's Got Talent two years later. Angelina has kept her promise. She has done 100s of covers and more recently has done a few originals as well. At the very least, do check out Angelina's performance of Bohemian Rhapsody in AGT, the audio-only version of It's A Man's World, and Million Miles (an original). She truly is something special.
At the start she hands the production director score changes. Then she commands the studio. The musicians realize that something very special has just happened. They call #AngelinaJordan "The Boss".
Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
She'sso dinky..LOL...never heard that before...now the shocked reaction is a very very common thing when listening to this...lol...love the reaction and thank you again😇💞💞💞💞
Since you like allsorts of music you can search Angelina Jordan Jazz/Pop/Disco/Country/EDM/Classic/Godspel/Elvis ....... Doesnt mather what song she always deliver at any age.
Hi NGB, thanks for that awesome reaction. On “I put a spell on you” 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.” Why does Angie performs barefoot, Angelina's interview explaining why she performs barefoot. ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html 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 yo & remember, Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions.
Un gusto conocerte!! Por favor escucha mucho más de Angelina, su versión de Summertime y Bang Bang te encantarán...Is amazing !! Todo lo que canta lo es!! Saludos desde Argentina!!🧉🧉🧉🤗🤗🤗
That was NOT her dad. It was the music director looking at her changes as she does all of her musical arrangements by herself. Yes, she had JUST turned 9 when this happened. When she was 6 she gave her favorite pair of shoes to a girl that didn't have any and vowed to always perform barefoot until every child in the world has shoes. She also makes her own clothes & she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 though it ended JUST after she turned 8. 🎶👱♀️👗👠👠💓
Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever is a reason to believe in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️ 💚 💜 **R.I.P. Screamin' Jay Hawkins** ❤️ 💚 💜 Enjoyed your reaction!
Just as a judge said om NGT (which she won at age 7/8) you were born to sing. There is a beautiful story about her bare feet, you will get it. Love you reaction.....
Great reaction ! Everyone does the same thing ! If you like Elton John you must react to "Yellow Brick Road " from America's Got Talent in 2020 the Champions edition it will amaze you ! Thanks for reacting and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Nothing to except welcome to Angelina Jordan the 9 year old superstar. She will end up right by Elton in your book. Start your Angelina reviewed list you are going to need it.
Love your reaction and yes she us incredible the boss the director at 9 and 2 month keep reacting .. as you can close the mouse now .. she is talented and an old soul
Best kept secret (Because her parents did a great job!) Wait till you do "I'm still holding out for you" and count how many "Once in a lifetime performances she has done! One would be amazing, and I lost count with her! It's not possible! "She is"
Angelina was on a street in the middle east walking with her family . She came across a girl around her age weighing people for money. Angelina and the young girl had a conversation where they talked about their dreams. The young girl said she wanted to be a doctor but it was impossible because she had no parents and had to make money for her siblings. Angelina said she wanted to be a superstar. Angelina noticed the girl has no shoes on and had scars on her feet. Angelina took off her favorite boots and gave them to the young girl. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Our bare foot princess of jazz said she would always perform barefoot until all the children in the world had shoes and to remind herself that there are less fortunate people in society. Angelina has participated in raising millions of dollars for charitable causes. To this day she continues with her vow to sing bare footed.
Great reaction,, you hit the second phase of being an angel "DENIAL" of what just happened,, now I like to see after the final phase?? you're next reaction,,lol,,, 👣🌬🌎
This masterpiece of a 9y old girl has to be in the hall of fame. And it's her own arrangement. She is a complete full artist at very young age. She writes now wonderful own songs and we all are waiting for the release of her new album. Please release to her latest single 7th Heaven, there she created a new genre JazzPop 😊😎❤️
Also, as a side note she is now 15yrs old(b.1/10/06) other people are now covering her AGT arrangement of Bohemian Raphsody and her own original song "A Million Miles. Amazing a 15yr old being covered!!! She is real!!! A living legend. Her version of "I Put A Spell On You" is a classic on a classic. Screaming Jay Hawkins, the writer and original performer from 1956 would be proud. Good reaction.
That was the band leader, reading Angelina's 'wishes' as to the musical arrangement. The picture on the candle was of Screaming Jay Hawkins, 'composer' of this song and whose performance she is adapting. There's a brief glimpse of her grandmother, very important influence on Angelina, among other things in her acquaintance with jazz and blues.
"By choosing to be our most authentic & loving Self, we leave a "Trail of Magic" everywhere we go." - Emmanuel. Thank you Ms. Blue!!! So Much Extra Fun Here... We felt it earlier... Thank U for sharing this reaction with others. Miss. Jordan is outstanding OMG!!! DD.
I know your brain can't compite what you just heard. At the beginning she was doin the arrangement and gave it to the orchestra dude lol. I just love she does the old classics check out fly me to the moon, Summertime, Gloomy Sunday. Great rabbit hole the girl just has to sing!!!! Cheers
Well this should be fun. Watching amazing reactors watching this video for the first time is some kind of special. Let's see if your head actually explodes or only figuratively does. ✌️😁
After reacting to two of her performances you are starting, but only just starting, to understand the world class artist that Angelina Jordan is (at whatever age)! It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). She starts low, rising in intensity throughout and finishes in an unexpected and practically operatic style. You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I put A Spell on You" ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html Her talent is only matched by her compassion. She performs barefooted after making a commitment to do so at 6yo when she befriended a homeless street girl in the middle east and gave the girl her shoes. Angelina vowed to perform without shoes to remember her and all those children who need need shoes clothes, etc. Angelina published a book about the experience at 9yo. She has kept her commitment for 8+ years (and counting)! Since you're a big Elton John fan you won't want to miss Angelina 's cover of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" which she sang in the 2020 American's Got Talent- The Champions (based on Sara Bareilles' rendition with some extra "Angelina only " touches)!
This is no less shocking than seeing a spaceship land and offering to give you a ride on a journey that transcends both space and time. There seem to be few limits on what you will be shown by Angelina Jordan. This is truly a journey of a lifetime. You have given me one of the top 5 reactions of all time. Can't wait for your next one.
Angelina is currently 15 years old and living in Los Angeles as a signed artist with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Angelina's family requested two things of Republic before signing, First Angelina has total control over what she sings. Secondly, to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and this is why Republic has not promoted either of her first two singles (Million Miles and 7th Heaven) released since she signed. I highly recommend you react to Million Miles, either Live in Studio or the Official Music Video. We angels (fans) are the ones sharing Angelina's talents and we thank you for doing your part (please consider verbally suggesting your viewers subscribe to her two official RUclips channels, links provided). ANGELINA OFFICIAL CHANNEL ruclips.net/user/AngelinaJordanOfficial ANGELINA COVER CHANNEL ruclips.net/user/AngelinaJordanCoverChannel
Elton John, eh? Well, are you in for a treat! React to Angelina's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on America's Got Talent Champions. You won't be disappointed. Ever, really. Then watch Bohemian Rhapsody. Same show. Half the time I need tissues. Freddy would be so proud. The remaining members were. 😎
Great reaction to the masterpiece that brought many of Angelina's millions of fans down the rabbit hole. You have only just begun Nerdy Girl, long ways to go and hope you continue your journey as I am a new Sub to your channel.
Nerdy blue girl; Fun fact,Angelina is the youngest published author in Norway's history at I believe at eight. it explains why she wears no shoes on stage.In a nut shell (without ruining it to much)she wears no shoes on stage for the children who don't.😀,She has raised millions for many children charities.My choice for your next little Angelina reaction is gloomy Sunday when she was seven on Norway's got talent,this song won it for her,Again at SEVEN,singing BILLY HOLIDAY!!!!!!! #still in therapy afterwards.😷🇨🇦😃
I had a feeling you were going to be a good reactor. I had already subscribed last time, giving some of your time to Angelina will be one of the most entertaining things you can do IMHO. She is incredibly versatile, gifted, in many genres. Great start down rabbit hole is deep and she is my favorite singer. Thumbs up Nerdy Girl Blue.
Another spell was cast by 9 yo Angelina. 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 talk 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 the world that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Great reaction NGB, look forward to watching more from you. When Angelina (from Oslo) was 6 years old, she met a homeless girl around her age in Iran. (Her grandmother is Iranian artist Mery Zamani.) The girl did not have any shoes, and Angelina says her feet were scarred. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. Not only does Angelina honor the young homeless girl she met by performing barefoot, but she also wrote a book about the experience. It’s called Mellom to jherter (“Between two hearts”), and was published in 2015, when Angelina was only 9 years old. According to her website, Angelina then “vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them.” She keeps that promise to this day, as she says that little girl “is always in my heart.” She arranges all of her own music.
Surreal right? Just some direction Started singing 11/2 (Jazz) First recording at 6 became widely known at 7 singing in Norway got talent. You will have to do all 4 of those. Feeling good at 10 and she is now 15 check out all I ask by Adel and has 5 originals for you to check out so if you think you can't be more mind blown well I said it was a rabbit hole.
“She was literally born for this.” Nerdy Girl Blue This quote needs at the beginning of every collaboration video of Angelina from this point forward. Quote at 4:37
Thanks for this great reaction :-D ...no, it's not her father (he is only seen in 2 or 3 videos from her - very rarely) that was the band leader who read the last "wishes" of AJ for changes on her arrangement for the piano... (You can read more about this cover in my comment on your first reaction to AJ ;-) ) All the best Andreas
@@andyschnell58 : I have read (I don't know anymore where) that the man with the blond and curly hair to see 6:16-6:25 (hugging Angelina at 6:19) in this video ruclips.net/video/d3gSho9yf88/видео.html is her father. I have seen another video when Angelina sang for the prime minister of Norway ruclips.net/video/fEVfEMQwZyY/видео.html where I think it's also her father who is taking photos at the end standig beside her mother and sister. And in this video ruclips.net/video/zDd_NIFTDsM/видео.html I think it's also her father you can see at 1:54-1:57. And in this video ruclips.net/video/2Cq49E1HnHw/видео.html at 0:10-0:11, 0:41 (besides her uncle), 2:28 (only half of the face ;-) ), 2:36 (filming with the smartphone). But I'm not absolutly sure - please correct me if I'm wrong :)
@@itschmitt Many thanks for your reply. I had never seen anyone before say they had seen her father so I was interested. Hopefully someone can tell us for sure.
@@itschmitt I just watched each video and it certainly seems to be the same man in each. I always thought that man in the Gloomy Sunday video was either a music teacher at her school or an employee at the Jazz Cafe in Oslo, but that was just my guess. Hopefully someone can properly identify that man.
Angelina is a very special singer and person. I suggest you to react to her performances in NGT, a contest that she won with 8 years old, starting with "Gloomy Sunday" By Billie Holiday.
When she was six and visiting the mid-east, Angelina met a young girl in the street who had no parents and was trying to make money by weighing people so she could help herself and her siblings. The girl was shoeless. Angelina gave the girl her favorite green sneakers that she was wearing and vowed that she would NEVER wear shoes when performing. She wants people everywhere to be reminded that many in the world don't even own one pair of shoes. She has done numerous charity concerts throughout the world, raising many millions of dollars for the less fortunate. Even when she won Norway's Got Talent, when she was 8, winnings from that show also were given away by Angelina. If Mother Teresa had a granddaughter, it would be Angelina, for sure.
Hey nerdy girl blue, first time to your channel. Love the accent!! I was married to a Brommie for awhile 40 years ago but am from Texas. Love your reaction and welcome to the AJ rabbit hole!! 😎😎😎😎
Angelina's Family Held Her Videos n the Vault for at Least 1 yr before releasing her songs except the Adele song. Easy on me. It was held 2 wks after Adele Released it
No its not her dad. Its the musical director. The intro was to show that angelina writes her own musical arrangements. She had just turned 9 here and had been writing her own arrangements and rewriting lyrics since she was 8 after she had a disagreement with a musician on norways got talent at age 7. She is a perfectionist and has been studio recording since she was 6 and started singing ehitney houston and billie holiday at 18 months old
All songs from the beginning she arranges her self and many she just plan makes the song her own,,, queen even gave her the rights to her version of their song,,, the only time they had ever done that they love her version
No that´s not her dad. It´s the band´s conductor Angelina who tells how she wants some small changes should be done so the song suits her voice. This song blew me away. It was the first time I heard it performed, by someone else than Nina Simone. It also shows what a brute force she is to reckon with in the future. She once said in an interview singing is just as important as breathing to her. I really do hope she doesn´t lose interest in breathing when she gets older
So glad you have found Angelina,have watched 4 of your reactions so far and you have reacted just the way I did when first hearing her,and if I can I try to listen to her at least once a day! There are many songs of her you have not listened to,but I will be subscribing as I enjoy seeing reactions to her! So hope to see your next one.stay safe p.s think you would like her version of feeling good when she was just 10 years old.

Here is an interview where she tells a bit of her story: ruclips.net/video/IeGKKELSpjk/видео.html
OK I am a FANBOY, yes, but I researched her carefully, downloaded her book and read it. It is becoming cristal clear, she is not only a musical genius but a genius in the usual sense.
Because of her maternal side she was able to learn a lot of languages and is able to communicate fluently. Her dad is Swedish, Mom is Norwegian with international roots, Grandma is a Iranian painter and poetess, and her maternal grandpa was Japanese. Yes she speaks all those languages FLUENTLY. A Japanese paper attested her a very good pronounciacion. I know she plays piano and guitar, it is said she also plays the flute and violin, but that could just be invented.

Best talent ever seen, and I’m 64. No one like her
Angelina is a force of nature.

Yes, 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 music director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music.

Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.
She'sso dinky..LOL...never heard that before...now the shocked reaction is a very very common thing when listening to this...lol...love the reaction and thank you again😇💞💞💞💞
Since you like allsorts of music you can search Angelina Jordan Jazz/Pop/Disco/Country/EDM/Classic/Godspel/Elvis .......
Doesnt mather what song she always deliver at any age.
Hi NGB, thanks for that awesome reaction. On “I put a spell on you”
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.” Why does Angie performs barefoot,

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 yo & remember, Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions.
Un gusto conocerte!! Por favor escucha mucho más de Angelina, su versión de Summertime y Bang Bang te encantarán...Is amazing !! Todo lo que canta lo es!! Saludos desde Argentina!!🧉🧉🧉🤗🤗🤗
9 yrs 2 months is the new 45 😁
Always until all have shoes.
Fly me to the Moon official acoustic video
That was NOT her dad. It was the music director looking at her changes as she does all of her musical arrangements by herself. Yes, she had JUST turned 9 when this happened. When she was 6 she gave her favorite pair of shoes to a girl that didn't have any and vowed to always perform barefoot until every child in the world has shoes. She also makes her own clothes & she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 though it ended JUST after she turned 8. 🎶👱♀️👗👠👠💓
I love your reaction to this talented young lady. She really is unbelievable. Thanks for the reaction! Blessings. 🙏❤️
LOVE ANGELINA - Amazing Voice ‼‼‼‼
Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever is a reason to believe in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️ 💚 💜 **R.I.P. Screamin' Jay Hawkins** ❤️ 💚 💜 Enjoyed your reaction!
I'm really enjoying your Angelina reactions! Thank you!
Just as a judge said om NGT (which she won at age 7/8) you were born to sing. There is a beautiful story about her bare feet, you will get it. Love you reaction.....
Great reaction ! Everyone does the same thing ! If you like Elton John you must react to "Yellow Brick Road " from America's Got Talent in 2020 the Champions edition it will amaze you ! Thanks for reacting and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Yes she's 9.
you MUST watch her do Elton's Yellow Brick Road from last year at AGT Champions. She's brilliant!
Loved your reaction, she's so awesome. Looking forward to more Angelina reactions. 👍👍👍
Nothing to except welcome to Angelina Jordan the 9 year old superstar. She will end up right by Elton in your book. Start your Angelina reviewed list you are going to need it.
Love your reaction and yes she us incredible the boss the director at 9 and 2 month keep reacting .. as you can close the mouse now .. she is talented and an old soul
Best kept secret (Because her parents did a great job!) Wait till you do "I'm still holding out for you" and count how many "Once in a lifetime performances she has done! One would be amazing, and I lost count with her! It's not possible! "She is"
The 3 who put thumbs down need all the help they can get. Their hearing is impaired. Poor things
He vocal range is indeed amazing, but it's her fierce ATTITUDE that blows me away :)
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Another spell has been cast!
And to think you're just getting started! There's a lot more OMG's to come!!
A young legend!
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole she is a Angel. Great job keep them coming.
I love seeing new people watching her "I Put a spell on You" it's a shocker, what the hell was that moment
And here's another WHAT-?!! reactor, too.
Angelina Jordan is the best no contest 👌🥰
9 year old Angelina on beastmode ❤ Listen to the song daily on Spotify, gets me ready for work 👍❤
Angelina was on a street in the middle east walking with her family . She came across a girl around her age weighing people for money. Angelina and the young girl had a conversation where they talked about their dreams. The young girl said she wanted to be a doctor but it was impossible because she had no parents and had to make money for her siblings. Angelina said she wanted to be a superstar. Angelina noticed the girl has no shoes on and had scars on her feet. Angelina took off her favorite boots and gave them to the young girl. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Our bare foot princess of jazz said she would always perform barefoot until all the children in the world had shoes and to remind herself that there are less fortunate people in society. Angelina has participated in raising millions of dollars for charitable causes. To this day she continues with her vow to sing bare footed.
This happened, when she was six years old... She made that promise and kept it until today...
In fact, it's really a strange feeling to see her wearing shoes in the occasional rehearsal video....
All must read her book about her bare feet story to know the "next level" this girl truly is.
She told her mother to here hold my milkshake while I knock this out .. be back in a minute .. loved your reaction
Great reaction,, you hit the second phase of being an angel "DENIAL" of what just happened,, now I like to see after the final phase?? you're next reaction,,lol,,, 👣🌬🌎
If you keep REACTING to the BAREFOOT PRINCESS, I'll stay subscribed!! Keep digging into all she's done ! GO ANGELINA JORDAN!!!
This masterpiece of a 9y old girl has to be in the hall of fame. And it's her own arrangement. She is a complete full artist at very young age.
She writes now wonderful own songs and we all are waiting for the release of her new album.
Please release to her latest single 7th Heaven, there she created a new genre JazzPop 😊😎❤️
Also, as a side note she is now 15yrs old(b.1/10/06) other people are now covering her AGT arrangement of Bohemian Raphsody and her own original song "A Million Miles. Amazing a 15yr old being covered!!! She is real!!! A living legend. Her version of "I Put A Spell On You" is a classic on a classic. Screaming Jay Hawkins, the writer and original performer from 1956 would be proud.
Good reaction.
Thanks for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world! 🧡🧡🧡
That was the band leader, reading Angelina's 'wishes' as to the musical arrangement. The picture on the candle was of Screaming Jay Hawkins, 'composer' of this song and whose performance she is adapting. There's a brief glimpse of her grandmother, very important influence on Angelina, among other things in her acquaintance with jazz and blues.
With people like her around, we other humans are just guests to bow down to her absolute talent!
You are much fun to listen to. Tumbleweed out
"By choosing to be our most authentic & loving Self, we leave a "Trail of Magic" everywhere we go." - Emmanuel. Thank you Ms. Blue!!! So Much Extra Fun Here... We felt it earlier... Thank U for sharing this reaction with others. Miss. Jordan is outstanding OMG!!! DD.
I know your brain can't compite what you just heard. At the beginning she was doin the arrangement and gave it to the orchestra dude lol.
I just love she does the old classics check out fly me to the moon, Summertime, Gloomy Sunday. Great rabbit hole the girl just has to sing!!!! Cheers
Well this should be fun. Watching amazing reactors watching this video for the first time is some kind of special.
Let's see if your head actually explodes or only figuratively does.
✌️😁
You are looking into the true face of prodigy.
After reacting to two of her performances you are starting, but only just starting, to understand the world class artist that Angelina Jordan is (at whatever age)! It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). She starts low, rising in intensity throughout and finishes in an unexpected and practically operatic style.
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I put A Spell on You" ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
Her talent is only matched by her compassion. She performs barefooted after making a commitment to do so at 6yo when she befriended a homeless street girl in the middle east and gave the girl her shoes. Angelina vowed to perform without shoes to remember her and all those children who need need shoes clothes, etc. Angelina published a book about the experience at 9yo. She has kept her commitment for 8+ years (and counting)!
Since you're a big Elton John fan you won't want to miss Angelina 's cover of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" which she sang in the 2020 American's Got Talent- The Champions (based on Sara Bareilles' rendition with some extra "Angelina only " touches)!
This is no less shocking than seeing a spaceship land and offering to give you a ride on a journey that transcends both space and time. There seem to be few limits on what you will be shown by Angelina Jordan. This is truly a journey of a lifetime. You have given me one of the top 5 reactions of all time. Can't wait for your next one.
Absolutely, was a great reaction. I've been watching reactions to this song for about 2 years straight and still can't get enough :)
I got the impression, metal fans are often one of those hit the hardest by her. Funny thing.
Love your reactions, you are very expressive, lol.
LOVE YOUR REACTION. Her voice is Amazing❣‼
I love it
Angelina is currently 15 years old and living in Los Angeles as a signed artist with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Angelina's family requested two things of Republic before signing, First Angelina has total control over what she sings. Secondly, to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and this is why Republic has not promoted either of her first two singles (Million Miles and 7th Heaven) released since she signed. I highly recommend you react to Million Miles, either Live in Studio or the Official Music Video. We angels (fans) are the ones sharing Angelina's talents and we thank you for doing your part (please consider verbally suggesting your viewers subscribe to her two official RUclips channels, links provided).

❤️ your reaction 👍🙂, she is 9 here 🙂, not her dad
Welcome to Angelina’s world. The barefooted princess 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The first gentleman was the studio boss, the second on the candle was the composer Screaming Jay Hawkins. Stay save lady
If you are a fan of Elton John - you should react to Angelina's live performance of Good-Bye Yellow Brick Road on AGT.
Elton John, eh? Well, are you in for a treat! React to Angelina's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on America's Got Talent Champions. You won't be disappointed. Ever, really. Then watch Bohemian Rhapsody. Same show. Half the time I need tissues. Freddy would be so proud. The remaining members were. 😎
YUP.. I was right.. typical reaction.. Loved it... I grew up listening to Slade BTW
😱🤔 😀 mind blowing
She is so good!!!
You love Elton John you should listen to "goodbye yellow brick road" she does an amazing cover
Great reaction to the masterpiece that brought many of Angelina's millions of fans down the rabbit hole. You have only just begun Nerdy Girl, long ways to go and hope you continue your journey as I am a new Sub to your channel.
Nerdy blue girl; Fun fact,Angelina is the youngest published author in Norway's history at I believe at eight. it explains why she wears no shoes on stage.In a nut shell (without ruining it to much)she wears no shoes on stage for the children who don't.😀,She has raised millions for many children charities.My choice for your next little Angelina reaction is gloomy Sunday when she was seven on Norway's got talent,this song won it for her,Again at SEVEN,singing BILLY HOLIDAY!!!!!!! #still in therapy afterwards.😷🇨🇦😃
I had a feeling you were going to be a good reactor. I had already subscribed last time, giving some of your time to Angelina will be one of the most entertaining things you can do IMHO. She is incredibly versatile, gifted, in many genres. Great start down rabbit hole is deep and she is my favorite singer. Thumbs up Nerdy Girl Blue.
this never gets old.....^^
Another spell was cast by 9 yo Angelina.
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 talk 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 the world that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
5.5 You see her grandmother....
Great reaction NGB, look forward to watching more from you. When Angelina (from Oslo) was 6 years old, she met a homeless girl around her age in Iran. (Her grandmother is Iranian artist Mery Zamani.) The girl did not have any shoes, and Angelina says her feet were scarred. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. Not only does Angelina honor the young homeless girl she met by performing barefoot, but she also wrote a book about the experience. It’s called Mellom to jherter (“Between two hearts”), and was published in 2015, when Angelina was only 9 years old. According to her website, Angelina then “vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them.” She keeps that promise to this day, as she says that little girl “is always in my heart.”
She arranges all of her own music.
She was handing the conductor / producer the arrangement she wanted for the song.
Surreal right? Just some direction Started singing 11/2 (Jazz) First recording at 6 became widely known at 7 singing in Norway got talent. You will have to do all 4 of those. Feeling good at 10 and she is now 15 check out all I ask by Adel and has 5 originals for you to check out so if you think you can't be more mind blown well I said it was a rabbit hole.
“She was literally born for this.”
Nerdy Girl Blue
This quote needs at the beginning of every collaboration video of Angelina from this point forward.
Quote at 4:37
OOHHH .. This will be funny....
Thanks for this great reaction :-D ...no, it's not her father (he is only seen in 2 or 3 videos from her - very rarely) that was the band leader who read the last "wishes" of AJ for changes on her arrangement for the piano...
(You can read more about this cover in my comment on your first reaction to AJ ;-) )
All the best
Andreas
I would be very interested to know where I can see Angelina's father in a video. Thanks.
@@andyschnell58 : I have read (I don't know anymore where) that the man with the blond and curly hair to see 6:16-6:25 (hugging Angelina at 6:19) in this video ruclips.net/video/d3gSho9yf88/видео.html is her father.
I have seen another video when Angelina sang for the prime minister of Norway ruclips.net/video/fEVfEMQwZyY/видео.html where I think it's also her father who is taking photos at the end standig beside her mother and sister.
And in this video ruclips.net/video/zDd_NIFTDsM/видео.html I think it's also her father you can see at 1:54-1:57.
And in this video ruclips.net/video/2Cq49E1HnHw/видео.html at 0:10-0:11, 0:41 (besides her uncle), 2:28 (only half of the face ;-) ), 2:36 (filming with the smartphone).
But I'm not absolutly sure - please correct me if I'm wrong :)
@@itschmitt Many thanks for your reply. I had never seen anyone before say they had seen her father so I was interested. Hopefully someone can tell us for sure.
@@itschmitt I just watched each video and it certainly seems to be the same man in each. I always thought that man in the Gloomy Sunday video was either a music teacher at her school or an employee at the Jazz Cafe in Oslo, but that was just my guess. Hopefully someone can properly identify that man.
Nerdy Girl Blue: "Aw, look how dainty she is!"
Then "dainty" 9-year old Angelina opens her mouth .... and Dr. Jekyll becomes "Miss" Hyde! Lol! ;-D
Angelina is a very special singer and person. I suggest you to react to her performances in NGT, a contest that she won with 8 years old, starting with "Gloomy Sunday" By Billie Holiday.
You looked all shook up there Nerdy girl :D It was a treat to watch. Thank you for a fun reaction
Singing in "beast mode" at 9yrs old!!! Next: "Feeling Good" at 10yrs old.
When she was six and visiting the mid-east, Angelina met a young girl in the street who
had no parents and was trying to make money by weighing people so she could help
herself and her siblings. The girl was shoeless. Angelina gave the girl her favorite green
sneakers that she was wearing and vowed that she would NEVER wear shoes when
performing. She wants people everywhere to be reminded that many in the world don't
even own one pair of shoes. She has done numerous charity concerts throughout the
world, raising many millions of dollars for the less fortunate. Even when she won
Norway's Got Talent, when she was 8, winnings from that show also were given away
by Angelina. If Mother Teresa had a granddaughter, it would be Angelina, for sure.
Elton John always the same songs reviewed, unless they are blocked how about
Sacrifice
Nikita
2 of my favorite Elton songs.
Hey nerdy girl blue, first time to your channel. Love the accent!! I was married to a Brommie for awhile 40 years ago but am from Texas. Love your reaction and welcome to the AJ rabbit hole!! 😎😎😎😎
Angelina's Family Held Her Videos n the Vault for at Least 1 yr before releasing her songs except the Adele song. Easy on me. It was held 2 wks after Adele Released it
The 9yo supernatural show stopper.
No its not her dad. Its the musical director. The intro was to show that angelina writes her own musical arrangements. She had just turned 9 here and had been writing her own arrangements and rewriting lyrics since she was 8 after she had a disagreement with a musician on norways got talent at age 7. She is a perfectionist and has been studio recording since she was 6 and started singing ehitney houston and billie holiday at 18 months old
All songs from the beginning she arranges her self and many she just plan makes the song her own,,, queen even gave her the rights to her version of their song,,, the only time they had ever done that they love her version
Love your reaction
No that´s not her dad. It´s the band´s conductor Angelina who tells how she wants some small changes should be done so the song suits her voice. This song blew me away. It was the first time I heard it performed, by someone else than Nina Simone. It also shows what a brute force she is to reckon with in the future. She once said in an interview singing is just as important as breathing to her. I really do hope she doesn´t lose interest in breathing when she gets older
So glad you have found Angelina,have watched 4 of your reactions so far and you have reacted just the way I did when first hearing her,and if I can I try to listen to her at least once a day! There are many songs of her you have not listened to,but I will be subscribing as I enjoy seeing reactions to her! So hope to see your next one.stay safe p.s think you would like her version of feeling good when she was just 10 years old.
OH MYYYY GOOOOD ! xD
welcome to the club.
I'd rather go blind, million miles her own song at 14, yellow brick road x
The man on the cup is the original singer of this song "screeming Jay Hawkins".
❤️❤️❤️
Approximately 147 to go.... hang on tight...
