    Angelina was 9 yrs and 2 mo. when this was recorded. She did this arrangement herself, and you saw her making last minute changes and the producer reading them and smiling. He later said in an interview that she is always polite, and referred to the changes as "her wishes". The picture on the candle she was holding was Screamin' Jay Hawkins the original singer of this song back in 1956. She worked with this band several times, and they fondly referred to her as "The Boss", because she knew just what she wanted and how she wanted it done. This is one of the most requested videos of hers, and if you continue your journey, her "Angels" (her name for her fans) will fill you in on everything including why she always sings barefoot. I am including a list of what "I" feel are her must hear/see videos. They start with her first time in a studio and go to her present age of 16. (as of Jan.10) Great reaction, if you take this journey I will be a faithful subscriber, as hers are the only reaction videos I watch.

    Hey Curtis. So many comments will likely address your question "Does she know what she's doing?" It's such a fair question, especially after only seeing this one performance from Angelina. And everyone will chuckle a bit before responding, "Yes, she knows exactly what she's doing." Angelina is 9 yrs old here and not only performed this amazing rendition of this classic Screamin' Jay Hawkins song, but she also arranged this entire thing. She's a musical genius. When she was 7/8, she won Norway's Got Talent - she got nearly 50% of all the available votes in the final performance (against 9 other adult groups). Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole, my friend! It's very common that reactors next watch her performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on Americas Got Talent - Champions (she was 13). It's as unbelievable as this one. Then, you have about 160+ other covers and originals of Angelina's that you can choose from - they will all blow you away. Seriously, keep reacting to AJ - learn about her from her fans' comments here (her "Angels"). You won't be disappointed. Ever. Peace!

    She absolutely knows what she is doing Curtis...she arranged this song after studying the 1956 original from Screamin Jay Hawkins. Simply put, she is a music genius/prodigy who started studying Jazz as a toddler thanks to her Grandma who exposed her to this music. This is a masterpiece of music, no matter the age, created by this child here. Really enjoyed your "first" reaction to this generational talent....Angelina Jordan Astar. There is so so so much more to listen to from her that will absolutely astound you each time. Here is the future of music and you get to see and enjoy with the rest of her millions and millions of fans. Cheers to you and stay well and hope to see you in the next Angelina reaction., If you decide to except the mission with Angelina you will garner a whole lot of Subs....including myself....hope you do, this was great.

    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.
    The musicians are part of KORK.

    Curtis, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!"
    Curtis, she was 9 years old here and, let me tell you, she knew what she was doing. In fact, when you go back to the beginning of the video you'll see she handed the band's director a piece of paper. It contained notes of how she wanted to make changes for the band. What!? Yes, she has been rearranging classic songs since she was 9.
    Probably a good idea if you spend some time reading the comments because you will get a truck load of info about her and it's all good. Wait till you find out about why she sings barefoot.
    I just subscribed. Curtis, welcome aboard and the journey you are about to join us on is a trip you will never forget. As the saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

    ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. 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. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old!!!!
    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.

    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.
    The reason they still take it fairly slowly is that she is only 16 years old - This in agreement with Republic Record, the family, and Angelina herself. She is now working on her record. Angelina has already sung in many countries, and all important people in the music industry know who she is. They only need to press the button when the time is right for the next step. No point in "burning out" a 16 year old jewel of a singer and I think many people forget how young she really is since she is so mature for her age!
    Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RUclips and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.

    Angelina knows exactly what she's doing. She chooses the songs she sings and does the musical Arrangements
    At the beginning of the video you see Angelina making changes on the Musical sheet, director smiles, grandma wishes her luck and a picture of Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle, the original artist. She said she wanted to honor Screaming Jay by requesting the video be shot in black-and-white as the original.
    The man in the background may be her uncle. The musicians are professional studio musicians.
    She actually just turned 9 in this video. Previously, Angelina competed in Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 yrs
    Old. She WON when she just turned 8 singing Ella Fitzgerald Jazz classic
    "Summertime". Her first two songs she chose were by Billie Holiday "Gloomy Sunday" and " I'm A Fool To Want You". The other song she sang was " Bang Bang I Shot You Down" by Nancy Sinatra.
    Great first time reaction. As so many other reactors, they can't believe this is coming out of a little girl and are totally amazed when they watch other videos of her.
    By the way, she just turned 16 earlier this year.

    This is an Angelina creation from start to finnish. The band are musicians that had been working with Angelina for some time by this point. 9 yrs old and the best musicians & professionals are lining up in the corridors waiting for a chance to work with Angelina at this point in time. Angelina has been a pro & in charge since she was 7-8 yrs old. She chooses the music, she arranges it and she instructs the band as to what she needs. They call her "The Boss" Those are all professionals surrounding her in this video. Only her Grandmother makes an appearance at the beginning just before Angelina shows Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle. Her tribute to him. I can almost guarantee her family was close by which would be her mother Sarah Astar, her little sister likely Juliette, and her Uncle & manager Michael Astar. They have been supporting and protecting her from the beginning. Angelina and her family have been in the sights of the biggest in the industry since she won Norway's Got Talent at 8 yrs old. They were flooded by offers from the biggest in the industry. Her manager uncle Michael said they flew in on their private jets with lots of money and high expectations but would leave surprised & disappointed when they were turned down. Even Disney. Today at just 16 she is already the Best Jazz Singer on the planet. IMO. Soon she will be among the immortals, among her idols like Billy Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Adele and the rest. Here's my list of suggestions.

    Andy Schnell has asked to provide this brief background bio of Angelina:
    Angelina found her natural talent and passion at such an early age. Many people never learn what their natural talent is. Angelina is a prodigy but I don't know of another vocal prodigy who was so advanced at such a young age. She also creates her own arrangements and has done so seemingly from birth. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist. 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 and guitar, plus 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 7-year old.
    At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
    Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
    In the semi-final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
    In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
    Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
    In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration.
    Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
    At 9 years 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 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 TikTok and Instagram.
    Angelina has concerts scheduled in Norway in July 2022.

    She was actually 9 years old here, and created this arrangement. You saw her writing it up for the band at the beginning of the video. Angelina is from Norway and is a national treasure ever since winning Norway's Got Talent at age 8. She also paints, speaks several languages, and raises money for charities. She vowed to perform barefoot until all the children of the world have shoes, after giving her shoes to a girl in the Middle East who had none. Angelina wrote a book based on this experience, making her the youngest published author in Norway's history. I recommend you listen to her cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, which is more recent, to get a sense of where she is now. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/видео.html

    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.

    Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to jazz at early age. Mery is somewhat famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is ten-year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: ruclips.net/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/видео.html
    ---- Mery has RUclips channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ruclips.net/channel/UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz
    ---- Mery illustrated book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) that Angelina wrote and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in November 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: ruclips.net/video/6p6iL989P_8/видео.html
    There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery:
    ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: ruclips.net/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/видео.html)
    ---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: ruclips.net/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/видео.html)
    ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html]
    [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html]
    [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ruclips.net/video/whH6fnKAooo/видео.html. As 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/9sYypd1yGR4/видео.html]
    ---- 7th Heaven (co-wrote as 15-year old. Produced by Stargate. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: ruclips.net/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/видео.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: ruclips.net/video/N0yK_07a1_U/видео.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: ruclips.net/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/видео.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: ruclips.net/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/видео.html)
    [Stargate is Norwegians Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen and based in LA. They have won 4 Grammy Awards. They also worked with Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, and others]
    [Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away. I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven’. The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finished song. We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it.”]
    [Angelina believes: “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.”]
    [Angelina tells how studio video will look: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it. I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
    [Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music.”]

    [Angelina said: "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]

    Just another quick note, yes, she knows what she's doing. She entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 years old after finally talking her mother in to taking her. Just after turning 8, she won the whole thing with 46% of the votes and the other 9 contestants shared the remaining 54%. You see her grandmother at the very beginning, (who introduced her to Jazz) but other than that there are no family members in the video. Her Grandmother was also a child prodigy in iran as artist and poet, and was married to a Japanese man. Angelina's Dad stays out of the spotlight and is Swedish. Angelina is Norwegian and speaks several languages and plays several instruments. She signed with Republic Records at 14, on her terms, and now that school is over, we all hope to hear a lot more from her. She has sang and performed with MANY big names, and has around 170 videos on RUclips.

    Regarding the musicians: By the age of 7, this little girl was already a national superstar and treasure. When she was 12 (3 years after this) she recorded an EP with the Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces. We are talking about one of the best professional wind bands on the planet with a 204-year-old history. So these musicians - are some of the best session/jazz musicians you will find in Europe (jazz is somehow a Norwegian treasure too). Regarding her family - she is still a young woman at the age of 16, now living her best life in L.A. You will always find her mother, her grandmother and her uncle close by. She has an awesome family (by extension including 5.5 million Norwegians). And we are all very protective and focused on her living her best life as she grows up. Because we have known for a decade now that her international professional career can easily last half a century once she starts it.
    Here at 9, she is using "special tricks" to compensate for short vocal cords. Now at the age of 16, she is singing circles around Adele - by covering Adele. Her talent is unmatched. And I am not saying that. Quincy Jones - the legendary producer for Micheal Jackson has said this much. Asking AJ to come to sing on his birthday.
    In a few years you can casually say "Yeah, I have been aware of this girl for a while" as she explodes into the public limelight internationally. 👍

    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 after 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 on 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

      Yes, Angelina definitely knew what she was doing. She opens the video with a candle burning, showing the creator and original performer of the song. Even though many singers have covered this, her performance pays tribute to Screaming J Hawkins. Listen to the original here: ruclips.net/video/2he4tlOGud0/видео.html to learn the inspiration for how she arranged this performance. Yes, her writing at the opening of the video was her giving instructions to the instrumentalists.

    Hi Curtis, nice that you took a peek down Angelina's rabbit hole. You are at the very beginning and I hope that you embark on the further journey because there is a lot to discover she is the best singer in the world but you will find out for yourself and believe me you will become just as addicted as all the fans (Angels) are after her voice, she is also called the barefoot angel with the 1000 voices because she can adapt and improve her voice to every song and also conveys a lot of emotions and she not only has covers but also 5 originals which are all amazing and already legendary.
    I'm looking forward to further reactions and have now subscribed to you, greetings from Germany

    Curtis Beard, she's not 7 here. She's actually the "ripe old age" of 9 years & 2 months! Lol! This was in March 2015, two months after she turned nine on January 10. She was born January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway. She not only killed this 1956 classic by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, but she does it in English, which is her 2nd or 3rd language! She knows Norwegian, English, Farsi (her grandmom is Iranian), Swedish (her dad is Swedish), and some Japanese (her granddad was Japanese). She is a prodigy for sure! If you noticed that she doesn't wear shoes, well, she NEVER wears shoes when she performs -- and there is an astoundingly heartwarming story as to why that is! She wrote a book about it the same year she did this video, making her the youngest author in Norway's history! She is now a strikingly beautiful young lady at 16 with an equally beautiful heart, soul, vocal skills, and empathetic love for people, especially children. I'd say she's one in a billion! Welcome to the rabbit hole!

    Sorry Bro, somebody slipped a 9yo ringer onto your channel (not 7 as you thought). Angelina knows exactly what she is doing and always brings it! Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You're done now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (145+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
    If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you figure out why sh3e performs barefooted!
    Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
    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 in English (her 3rd language), 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).
    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).

    (Continued from comment above)
    Despite the fame Angelina earned winning NGT 2014, her parents were insistent that she have a normal childhood. They turned down record labels and performance requests, limiting her appearances to about 10% of the requests. This is the reason why she flew under the radar for many of us. Yet she did perform around the globe, including on "The View" at 8 years old in the US. As an international "Got Talent" winner, 13 year old Angelina was invited to audition for America's Got Talent, The Champions (AGTC) Season 2020. She owned the audience with her first few lines. She sang her own stunning arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", earning both a golden buzzer and a congratulatory tweet from Queen for her performance. This is a must see performance (link below).
    Despite not winning AGTC in 2020, Angelina was the golden goose everyone wanted. Although many record labels, including those most associated with AGT, and even Disney were knocking on her door, she said no. Yet, at 14 she chose to sign with Republic Records, as they shared a common vision of her music, giving her complete artistic and timing control. RR made a sound decision as while Angelina is still a child, she will become a significant voice to the world. Angelina has appeared on television shows and at music festivals, all while she was still a single digit midget. Although her parents still insisted that Angelina should have a normal childhood, teenaged Angelina is sings with the voice of someone decades older. The largest live audience she sang for (while a preteen) was 40,000, and the more she grows, the more her voice grows, exponentially. Angelina’s received over 1 billion views on RUclips and almost 2.5 billion views on Facebook. She has been featured in TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. At 8 years old, she performed in the Nobel Peace Prize Concert - Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration, for Peace Prize Laureates Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi. She has sung for Quincy Jones, Barak Obama, Whoopi Goldberg, Forrest Withaker, and numerous dignitaries in Europe.

    Angelina turned 16 in January 2022, and lives with her parents, grandmother, and her little sister Juliette in LA. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, was an Iranian born child prodigy in her own right, but in poetry and art. Mery is Angelina's mentor, and they have an incredibly close relationship. Mery films and designs most of her performance attire. Mery and Angelina also worked together to create the artwork for her original release, “Million Miles” (lyrics version). This was written while she grieved over the loss of her grandfather. Angelina (14 y/o) sings from her heart, and offers up her performance to others that grieve the loss of friends and family. “Million Miles” was also released as a studio version, and later as a music video, featuring Angelina and her little sister Juliette, (15 and 8 years old respectively). Juliette performs as a ‘young Angelina’ in the video. I imagine it was a cathartic experience that both sisters could share in.
    As you are watching her perform, you will undoubtedly notice she’s always barefooted. Why doesn’t she wear shoes when she sings?
    - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz -
    Why does Angelina sing barefooted? Angelina Jordan is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that while living in the Middle East, at age 6, Angelina came across an orphaned girl weighing people on a bathroom scale to earn money. She 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, so she offered her own shoes to the girl. Little Angelina loved her shoes as they were very nice and she knew she would miss them, but she saw the little girl’s need for them 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 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.” Angelina wrote in her diary that day "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 never performs or makes a studio recording without first taking off her shoes, in honor of ‘Princess’ and all the other less fortunate children of the world. In 2015, at the age of 9, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter, as everyone asked why she sang barefoot. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, a child prodigy in her own right, but in poetry and art, created the artwork in the book. So at 9, Angelina Jordan became the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina performed alongside other artists, raising attention and helping to raise over 21 million euros and millions of dollars.

    Angelina was 9 years old. She is a junior prodigy. The comments tell you why.
    I want to diffurt towards the context which explains that she is a child prodigy: the mixture of ethnic genetics. She is of Scandinavian (her father), Iranian (her mother and grandmother) and Japanese (her grandfather) descent. The mixture of ethnic groups does not generate sub-humans but super-humans. Like Angie.
    I am from Quebec, a Canadian province, the only French-speaking state in the Americas. A 21-year-old quebecer boy is in the top 10 of professional tennis: Félix Auger-Aliassime. African father, white Franco-Quebec mother. A 19-year-old Quebecer girlie is in the top 15 of women's professional tennis: Leylah Fernandez. Latin father, Filipina mother. Felix is ​​bilingual. Trilingual Leylah. Trilingual Angie. All three supergifted.
    Mixing genetics promotes giftedness. Racists who hold to the purity of the race prepare the degeneration of the race. Racism is stupid. The problem: can't fix stupids!
    Let us add that Angie is the most brilliant contemporary interpreter of black music from the 40s and 80s. I put a spell on you is a cover of Jay Hawkins, whose photo she shows on a lantern. Few people, even in the US, know Jay Hawkins. Angie, in Norway, knew him... at 9 years old! And she did an incredible cover of his song.

    There are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following.
    ---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: ruclips.net/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/видео.html]
    ---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: ruclips.net/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/видео.html)
    ---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: ruclips.net/video/Nryuk21mXkQ/видео.html)
    ---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: ruclips.net/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/видео.html)
    ---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: ruclips.net/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/видео.html)
    ---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: ruclips.net/video/i0rSKumJE8s/видео.html)
    ---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: ruclips.net/video/8glJLHUd7uo/видео.html)

    This performance is totally unique! Unlike what she is singing, she herselfs seems to be under some sort of spell! Many people feel like she is reincarnated! Nonsense, but she absorbed a whole lot of skills from many old jazz singers and more contemporary ones! She has great ears, is extremely musical and otherwise talented (storyteller way of singing) and gifted with a beautiful voice. It's almost unfair what nature gave her, compared to other people! I hope you enjoy. Always nice to see someone surprised and amazed by her.

    Angelina is a Jazz singer & she learned from the the best Jazz singers of Jazz & music history. Angelina immersed herself in RUclips video's of these Icons starting at 3-4 yrs old guided by her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani an artist and child prodigy in her own right. Her first Idol was Billie Holliday who she started with on her journey to the stage at Norway's Got Talent. She opened with 'Gloomy Sunday' which she inhabited and absolutely infused Billie into the song. The similarities are incredible. She followed with another Billie classic singing 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella pitch perfect and infused with the same Billie Holiday essence. I've heard this performance backed by the original music and it's like Billie Holiday was singing through a childs voice. A beautiful child voice. You want to know where she learned it. She learned it from the greatest in history going back to the 30s & 40s.
    This one she learned from J Hawkins himself. I have no doubt she had it on repeat on RUclips. And nobody forced Angelina to practice, they wanted her to sing children's songs. She would have none of that! Angelina has always been the driving force in her development. Begging to be on that "Simon show" by the age of 3 and insisting on getting on Norway's Got Talent at 5 & having to wait till she was 7.
    I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. Well perhaps this is what she does when she does play and 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 Generations and will remain relevant for decades, perhaps centuries. to come. Any one 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 alway 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!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. 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... Not to be morbid but when I'm lying in my deathbed 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. ♥👣👸🏻

    (The band and the producer were put together in this studio. Only her grandmother, Meri Zamani, is present and seen kissing Angelina before she started to sing.)
    This is one of the top 2 performances that lead people into the rabbit hole of Angelina Jordan's world; the first being "Bohemian Rhapsody". At 9 years and 2 months old, Angelina arranged and performed a black and white studio cover of the jazz classic "I Put a Spell on You", considered by many to be a masterpiece cover of the original song. There are 195 versions of the song performed by such greats as: Nina Simone; Manfred Man; Pete Townshend; John Fogerty; Annie Lennox; and many more. So the question is, how does Angelina Jordan come closer to the original than the other 194?
    Angelina went back to the source, Screamin' Jay Hawkins himself. She arranged the music and lyrics to honor Jay's work as close as possible, albeit to be performed by a 9 year old girl. She can change up her performance on the fly. The notes she scribbles down at the beginning of the video are the lyrics you can see her referring to during the performance. Singing is simply organic to her. The candle she holds in the beginning has a picture of Jay on it, again, honoring him. If you haven't seen one of Jay's performances, I gave a link to him performing on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989. I recommend listening to Jay 'after' your react to Angelina, even if you do it on your own time. Jay's version is, as always, way out there. After watching Jay, I jump right back to Angelina's cover, picking out how she adapted Jay's style for her own arrangement.
    Vocal coaches can point out what Angelina's doing with her voice and body in great detail, but have no clue as to how this little 9 year old girl can so control her body produce the sounds she wants. I stress that you watch the black and white studio performance listed below, from her cover channel. She has performed the song since this time, but she has never replicated the vocal performance she gave here. Individuals have cited that Angelina was cautioned not to perform the song as she did here, as it had the potential to cause permanent damage to her voice. All the more reason to watch this unrepeatable performance.

    Curtis, you made a bunch of wrong assumptions about Angelina, but that’s okay because it’s your first time. Angelina will absolutely stun you across many, many genres. She’s nine here, giving us authentic blues, but watch her deliver soul, r&b, jazz, ballads, and more just as authentically. There are 20 or 30 songs from Angelina that I could recommend that will leave you like this one did. Yes, she knows exactly what she’s singing and what her voice is capable of doing. For many of us, Angelina is the best singer we’ve ever heard. Period. No need to say anything else. You’ll get lots of recommendations for your next reaction. It doesn’t matter what you choose or what age Angelina is. She will kill it, and she will stun you.

    There's a reason she sings barefoot.
    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. 'Between Two Hearts'

    Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following songs:
    ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html]
    [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html]
    [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html. As 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ruclips.net/video/whH6fnKAooo/видео.html. As 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/9sYypd1yGR4/видео.html]
    ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html)
    ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 4 million plays on Spotify. This song is third most played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world. The 3-hour video New Year Mix 2022 - Best of EDM Party Electro House & Festival Music gives you an excellent look at EDM and the millions of people who love it (ruclips.net/video/gQlUknjUX0I/видео.html). EDM is so popular that there is a website dedicated to news about it. This song would be played by disc jockeys at a dance location as rave means a lively party or gathering involving dancing and drinking: ruclips.net/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/видео.html]
    ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: ruclips.net/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/видео.html)
    ---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html]

    Angelina Jordan is the most accomplished child vocalist of all time and few people know her.
    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 and guitar 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 7 year old.
    At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
    Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
    In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
    In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
    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 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.

Easy on me) Elvis( many inc How great thou art, where she explores how low she can sing she does it in his key). I have many favourites. Stay, Holding out for you, Lana Del Ray's Born to Die, many many more. Choose your medicine she has one for you.

    This comment is very lengthy, but it's worth getting to know the world of Angelina Jordan. Our Angelina performs in such a way as to open a window into her world, and it’s breathtaking.
    Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy, who began singing at 16 months old. Her mother came home from shopping one day and heard her baby/toddler singing lyrics from a Whitney Houston song (there's even a partial home video). As a musical prodigy, Angelina taught/teaches herself how to sing. She’s had formal training in guitar and piano, but not for her voice. At most, she is critiqued on her lines. The biggest constant with Angelina Jordan is that her performances are always amazing to listen to. She visualizes how she thinks the piece should sound, and works it out until it’s exactly what she wants. Although she’s been called a vocal chameleon or the girl of a 1,000 voices, Angelina does not parrot other performer’s music. Between 2 and 3, Angelina gravitated towards teaching herself to sing jazz and the blues, listening to records and RUclips. She’s a great consumer of the jazz and blues masters (Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, Billie Holiday, and later with Adele and Amy Winehouse). Growing up with RUclips at her fingertips, she could listen again and again to her favorites, and work out in her head how she would sing them. At 3 years old, Angelina set her sights on performing for Simon Cowell, a dream that came true 10 years later as 13 year old Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent, The Champions (AGTC).
    By 5 her parents finally relented to Angelina's wanting to singing talent shows. At 7, they again relented, and let Angelina follow her dreams onto the stage of Norway’s Got Talent auditions for Season 2014. The last audition of the day was a barefoot, snaggle-toothed, bushy haired, Angelina, who chose to sing of all things, Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" (link below). This is a song that's beyond many adult singers (link below). Omer Bhatti, one of the judges, said of 7 year old Angelina in a later interview “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”. She made a masterful performance of Gershwin’s “Summertime” for her final performance, with the people of Norway voting her the winner; a must see performance (see link below).
    Prodigies, by their nature, aren't limited to the rules everyone else has to follow. Vocal coaches reacting to her have said that she just knows instinctually control her body to sing the music the way she wants to, even at low registers. They can identify everything she's doing; they just can't say how she's able to do it. By 15, Angelina has performed over 160 covers and has 5 originals. Regardless of the genre she sings, you may be able to pick up the dulcet tones of Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and many other artists hidden in her voice or phrasing. Angelina also doesn't approach singing as the vast majority of very talented child singers do; belting the heck out of a song from start to finish. Her songs sneak up behind and capture you with kindness, often within the first few lines. Her runs are insane but totally organic. When she wants to belt, she belts.
