    From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹
    1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
    2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records.
    3. AJ began singing at 18 months. Her grandmother was a jazz/blues fan and played that genre of music for AJ. She fell in love with it very early on and has even arranged most if not all that she sings from age 8. What an incredible talent.
    4. Currently in 2022 she is in her mid-teenage years, stands 6 foot tall and still performs barefoot. The backstory of her encounter with the homeless girl she met while she traveled with her family through Iran at age 6 includes the weather damaged bare feet of the child she gave her own shoes to.
    5. The reason she performs barefoot is to bring awareness to her public of the children worldwide who can't afford shoes of their own. She has raised millions of dollars for clothing including shoes for those unfortunate children. 💕
    6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother).
    7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
    8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since my age of 7.

    Bob, this video was produced by 16 yrs old Angelina Jordan on Valentine's Day for her Fans around the world. Please go back went Angelina was around 9 yrs old at home videotaping the "My Funny Valentine" song, which brought tears to my eyes. Her ability to pour her whole heart and soul into a song as though she was singing only to you, would bring a tear to any adult.

I look forward to your other reactions being cleared from copyright restriction and posted.
    Oh, I know what you mean about struggling with adjectives to describe her. There is a young girl from Malaysia that I believe is around 9 or 10, that goes by KEIMEI on her RUclips channel, and she does reaction videos. Every reaction to Angelina, she simply states, "It's the Amazingly Amazing Angelina". I think that pretty much covers it. LOL

    Angelina's family is very loving and smart. When they signed Angelina with Republic Records, in August 2020 at age 14, they requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible. How wise and refreshing. Here is my new updated bio for Angelina.
    Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
    Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.
    Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese and Swedish.
    Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
    *Why Angelina always performs barefoot*
    At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
    Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
    Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
    Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 year old.
    At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
    Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
    In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
    In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
    Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
    In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration.
    Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
    A 9 years and 2 months old, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs.
    At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RUclips video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances.
    When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident.
    On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year.
    During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each.
    In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT.
    Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
    The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her.
    In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
    Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”
    In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song.
    Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram.
    Angelina has concerts scheduled in Norway in July 2022.
    Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be.
    I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.

    One of the problems with so many people doing Angelina reactions, is that sometimes the good ones go under the radar. You are one of the good ones, and I have only just found your reactions to Angelina 12 days after you did the first. You have so much more to hear from Angelina. The amount of masterpiece level work she has done is just staggering. I usually leave this on a first reaction, but I missed yours so I'll leave it here....
    For anyone new to Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
    *Angelina Jordan*
    - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 16
    - She began singing at the age of one and a half
    - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
    - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
    Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
    - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
    - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
    - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
    - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
    - Angelina has covered more than 160 songs and over 70 artists. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
    - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
    - Angelina has written five of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", "Million Miles", and "7th Heaven" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
    In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
    - Updates: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist".
    On Nov 6 2020 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"!
    On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven"
    In Dec 2021 her cover of "Mercy" was in the opening credits for the movie "The Hating Game"
    She has done so much already, but at 16 she is just getting started!!!

My impression of her is she knows exactly what she wants. Anyone trying to steer her away from that might find out thats not as easy as he thought😂

Angelina just sat down on the couch to try out her new birthday present and knocked out this masterpiece.

    Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy born into a unique family. One of the only families I know of who put family values above money for them her education is more important grant it I don’t think the Astar family has ever had to worry about money her father is a oil engineer her grandmother is a well known artist from Iran ( child prodigy herself ) before she was a teenager she had already traveled the world, sang for prime ministers and presidents and celebrities. Yet because of her upbringing still just a humble little girl wanting to sing for the world. It doesn’t get any better than Angelina Jordan.

    I could have so many comments, but I'll focus on one topic. Angelina is blessed to have a strong determination of what she wants, and a supportive family keeping her centered. She has a caring heart, and empathetic soul. In addition, she's had a number of mentors in the industry who seem to want what is best for her. In the past these have included Quincy Jones and David Foster. Most recently Rob Christie of Republic Records (her label) seems to have taken her under his wing and introduced her to some of the legends of jazz. He's also accompanied her on several of her recent recordings. Truly a generational artist and person.

    Her family are protective of her which is why she isn't more known than she is. With her talent they could easily have exploited it to make money, but instead they have supported her dreams and nurtured her talent, focusing on school and development and doing a few concerts a year. As far as I can tell her heart is still pure and passionate. If things don't go askew, I do expect her to be mentioned along with icons like Édith Piaf, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston (though based on their lifes, she will get there even if some things do get askew). You are not the only one to get fatherly worries for her. I don't worry about her professional career because she is so good it will take care of itself, but I do wish she will get a good life. Far from all celebrities do.
    Some suggestions for reactions: Song for A (ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html) - written for her to sing and I think she was 12 at the time, I'm still holding out for you (ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html&ab_channel=GustavoDEYERMO) a demo that was leaked but one of the best performances ever to be recorded (about 10 years old I think), 7th heaven, one of her recent originals (ruclips.net/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/видео.html&ab_channel=AngelinaJordanVEVO).

    In addition to the family (with uncle/manager Michael Astar) putting the brakes on her promotion until they feel she is ready, they seem to have insisted on great flexibility in how and what she can perform. Angelina,while under contract, appears to still have great freedom in the genres, production levels, and wide ranging platforms in which she continues to share her music with public. We are greatly encouraged by the way Republic Records Studio Director, Rob Christie, has taken her under wing and seems to truly have her best interests at heart.

It starts in her heart and comes out in her voice.. FYI, she did this same song @ age 10.... If you like her classic style, she does covers of Everytime You Smile, Lovin'You, Feelin' Good, Something's Got a Hold On Me, and of course Billy Holiday (who she loves). Ella, Nina, she makes them proud... I'm happy for all you've yet to discover, we Angels never get tired of seeing the delightful times reactors are blown away...

    ANGELINA JORDAN
    Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age.
    Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RUclips and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook.
    Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RUclips performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
    At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences.
    Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
    In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good.
    As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
    This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history.
    Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.

    Angelina gives me the impression of being a tough girl. She has always been precocious and I wouldn't bother with the wolves or leeches of the industry. Here, for example, she offers the complete homemade package, 3x1. She is a model, singer and director. She is a Renaissance artist of many talents. One day it might surprise us, perhaps neglect singing to become a film director, painter or writer. From what I understand it is not linked to money, it has given a good part of the millions it earned in charity and if it goes wrong it could earn a living by modeling, certainly it does not lack the body to be able to do it and would have fashion houses queued outside from its door, as before the musical houses.

    I'm 66 and never heard of that Show and Tell. It would have been great to have! Loved Capt. Kangaroo and don't forget Mr. Greenjeans, LOL. I really enjoy the way you put together these reactions, very entertaining and fun. Love going down memory lane ( the crackling 78). Don't worry about Angelina going down the wrong path, she is very grounded and on a mission to be the best and she is protected every step of the way by her family and, believe it or not, her label Republic Records. RR know they have a future superstar and have given her the freedom to develop in her own way. IMO, they have made a long term investment and know the rewards will be bountiful if they are patient. Angelina is humble and empathetic and has grown into a beauty that many professional models would covet. Thanks Jim for another outstanding reaction! Can't wait to see the ones you are waiting to get released by YT. Take care my friend!

    She was listening to jazz music when she was really little thanks to her grandmother Mery (who she is very close to) and her love for it never ended. She is very grounded and surrounded by the love of her family, her mother Sara, her little sister Juliette, and her uncle/manager Michael. Even though she is signed to a major record label, Republic Records, the company and her family agreed to take it slow with Angelina and allow her to take her time and let her finish school and live a normal life as much as possible.
    She did announce during her virtual Christmas Concert that she is working on new music and planning on releasing a new album sometime this year. Also, she is going back to her homeland of Norway to perform in a couple of concerts around the summertime. This young lady is the real deal and I can't believe we are blessed to see the making and growth of this future superstar! Enjoy your Angelina ride because it is well worth it!

    Fantastic reaction and Welcome to Angelina Jordan's Rabbit Hole, the best on the Planet. Andy Schnell left a very good bio of the Barefoot Princess, few things he didn't mention. When she sang for the Peace Prize, even though having a bad cold, she insisted on performing, for it was a childhood dream and still sang barefoot keeping her promise. The other thing if you noticed she was making Modeling moves while the video was being shot. Angelina's work ethic is above and beyond belief and she hangs out with Heidi Klum and is taking up modeling. Angie is a perfectionist and has to Master anything she is involved in. She has a Pure Heart and full of Pure Love and that is what exudes from her in all her performances. That is why people feel better after listening to her, true medicine for the soul, God Bless!

    That was a wonderful video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every time I see a reactor like yourself respond the way you did it brings me back to the first time I saw Angelina. I enjoy seeing that over and over LOL.
    I have a few things for you, actually more than a few.
    1. Firstly, Angelina and Aurora are both Norwegian! There's the connection.
    2. Angelina sings many different genres. Jazz and Blues and the classics are her specialty, but I have heard every genre except Opera.
    3. Angelina is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices. When you say you like her voice, you are only partially right. The fact is you probably like her voices! She can adapt to any singer, song, or genre and adjust her tone and style and register to give props to the original artist and yet maintain her own style. Every song you hear she can sound different. In the ones you've heard, her voice is different in every one. This is an incredibly unique capability that I've never seen in any other singer.
    4. Angelina has the ability to express emotion very strongly, even for events she has never experienced as a young person. Throughout her childhood, she could sing about love and loss and relationships for example, and the emotion she exhibited was believable. Another unheard of ability.
    5. Angelina is surrounded by a wonderful family that is protecting her. From the time she was seven or eight, she had dozens of record labels banging the door down and they refused every one of them. Their goal was to protect Angelina and let her have a normal childhood and not promote her until she graduates high school, which is coming up soon. Angelina would likely be a worldwide phenomenon right now if they had not been holding back. But Republic records with whom she signed a year or two ago, is working with her on the family's terms and giving her independence with her music.
    6. Angelina for the most part does her own arrangements. Many of the cover songs you hear sound like The originals to some extent but also have her take on it. When she did I put a spell on You at 9 years old, she was involved in the arrangements as was shown at the beginning of the video. Apparently she also directed the video for My Funny Valentine.
    7. I'm sure you have an extensive list of songs that are recommended. Likely many of the ones I would recommend you already have. However I will give you one that you may or may not have which is probably the best example of pure blues and jazz that I've seen. She was only 11 years old in an outdoor concert. The song is called Lovin You, and this is another one of her 1,000 voices where she shows grit and attitude throughout most of the song.
    ruclips.net/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/видео.html
    8. Although you may have recommendations, Angelina has approximately 162 covers an originals on RUclips! Here is the link so you can scan it over and maybe pick your own. Ages 6 to 15 , chronological performances, including five originals.
    m.ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO
    9. Finally, an important suggestion for a new reactor. You mentioned requesting that viewers like And subscribe to your Channel, which I have already done personally. However, many reactors fail to realize that the young artists require the same benefits as your own channel. You have been kind enough to supply the links in your description, but most viewers do not go there on their own. I suggest encouraging your viewers to like comment and subscribe to the artist channels so that they may benefit and advance their careers. This is in addition to your own channel and not instead of.
    Thank you for what you do and so far I'm enjoying the ride. Peace.

    Angelina is managed (full time) by her uncle Michael Astar. Her mother Sara Astar and grandmother Mery Zemani moved to LA, with Angelina's younger sister, a couple of years ago in order to further Angelina's career. Angelina is still going to school and her parents make sure that she only does live concerts during school holidays.

    Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice.
    ( I just added this to my tribute to Angelina due to your request and concern for her protection and more info on her life) :
    ( Angelina has a family that is very protective of her and her career, they have turned down countless big wigs from all music producers coming to her big bucks to sign with them , even turned down a massive offer from Disney World .
    Her uncle is her manager. The family wanted her to have as normal a child hood as possible given her immense talent and they would not let anyone make merchandise of her as a child.
    But since she has turned 16 and almost out of school they are letting her out more and allowed her to sign with Republic Records , but the stipulation was that she would control what she did and how she did it and not dictate her agenda .
    When republic records get the go ahead from the family , they will probably start a massive promotion of her and the rest of the world will be amazed as we are who know and love her.)
    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 over 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 this month April of '7 th Heaven" link: ruclips.net/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/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:
    (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 linkruclips.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 he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she 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 to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years .
    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 5 octave range 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 can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..

Jealous that you get to experience all the incredibly beautiful material from Angelina for the first time. But hey, it's almost all good. I get to experience your reactions right with you. That's the secoond best thing I guess. Keep up the really great work! My crystal ball tells me that you will very soon be my favorite reactor :-)
    Have a great Sunday and take care! Love and respect from Norway :-)

      Hi! Thanks so much for the wonderful compliment. I honestly can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I'm very nervous doing these, probably because I'm so new, so "you're" reactions to me are so wonderful to hear. Thanks again. Hope I can keep getting better as I do more of these.
