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 CZcams 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 CZcams 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 CZcams and almost 2,5 billion on facebook.

Thanks so much Mr. Rex for sharing. She is really so incredible and awesome😍thanks too for your tips and suggestions. I will definitely subscribe to her channel 😍
Angelina is in a class all her own.
Yes indeed, she is so amazing💕
Angelina made the outfit she is wearing in this performance also.
Oh wowww, she is really amazing, thanks for sharing Ms. Lori
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising!
Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood. Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 165 chronological performances, including five originals.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Thanks soooo much again for all of your recommendations. I will definitely have more reactions on Angelina💕😍💕i am her fan😍💕😍
Thank you, Aaliyah, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and, as an accomplished vocalist yourself, you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Hello Mr. Robert, thanks so much for your recommendations and suggestions. I am one of her big fans now too. She is super amazing not only as an artist but as a person as well. I learned so much about her from all the sharings. I am already awed by her incredible talent and then read about her as a person, she is so inspiring and a great example to us. I will definitely react more on a lot if her performances. I love her😍😍😍
Thank you Aaliyah for a very nice reaction and comments to Angelina. You may find that you may get overwhelmed with information and requests for Angelina now that you have uncovered the Angelina rabbit hole. There will be a lot of information here for you and hopefully you find the time to read as many comments as your are able. Cheers, have a great day Aaliyah.
Hello, i read all of the comments and i have learned so much about her, her amazing personality and incredible talent. I am looking forward to watch all of the recommendations and will definitely have more reactions on her💕😍💕have a great day💕😍💕
Angie can sing everything a cappella. I truly believe that once she knows the song she wants to sing, she practice’s it a cappella over and over. Then once she has it to the point that she wants it , she then adds in the accompaniment.
Oh wow thanks so much Mr. Dave, she is so amazing🌺💕🌺
The most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen on a talent show ❤️ Angelina is amazing and I look forward to watch 2 of her concerts this summer ❤️
She is indeed mesmerizing and incredible💕😍💕oh wowwww, nice that you can watch 2 of her concerts this summer. She is so amazing😍💕😍

Thanks for the welcome. She is so amazing🌺💕🌺
You have not seen or rather you have not heard anything yet because every time you hear her sing you will get something different, enjoy ... 👑🗣🎙🎷

G'day Aaliyah. It's always lovely to see another young artist share their thoughts about Angelina, not only from a vocal and performance perspective, but as a singer yourself, you can fully appreciate the hard work and sacrifices that you and your family need to make to achieve your dreams. All the best from Australia. 🙂

Angelina was born in January 2006, making her 16 today. When Angelina about 1 1/2 years old, her mother had returned from shopping and overheard her baby beautifully singing (there's a video of this baby/toddler singing lines from a Whitney Houston song). Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy in music. She grew up listening to jazz and the blues on records and CZcams; styles you will hear come out time and again. At age 3, Angelina set her sights on one day singing for Simon Cowell (her dream was fulfilled 10 years later in AGTC). She had wanted to sing in talent contests, and her parents finally relented at age 5. At age 6, we can find videos of this child prodigy singing in her school's recording booth. At age 7, again at her insistence, Angelina made her audition on NGT. While she's learned to play the violin, piano, guitar, and flute, in school, it's uncertain whether or not she received formal voice lessons, as all we've seen shows her singing in her school's studio. This would largely leave Angelina's inspirations and musical arrangements up to her at this earliest age.
Angelina 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 when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefoot, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she said she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She considers her agemate every time she takes off those shoes.
Of the encounter, little 6 year old Angelina wrote in her diary: “The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The book and the attire Angelina wore for her AGTC audition (above) were designed by her grandmother, who was a child prodigy in art. Angelina now lives in Los Angeles, CA.
Now that you've heard her AGTC performance, there's another song that's considered as 'essential Angelina Jordan listening'. Shortly after turning 9, Angelina arranged the music and lyrics for her own cover of "I Put a Spell on You", as originally performed by Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 jazz standard. Angelina created a 'black and white studio performance' that many consider as a masterpiece cover of Jay's original. Although she's performed the song since the studio version, her voice has developed to the point that she never recreated this performance, perhaps as a result of the continuous maturation of her vocal chords. (As trivia, Angelina performs on the fly, as you will see Angelina occasionally glance at the pages during the performance that she drafted at the start of the clip. Also, the candle she holds up has Hawkins' picture on it as an homage to the artist.)
Here are the links to her Norway's Got Talent performances. I recommend that if nothing else, you listen to her first and last performances on NGT. In her audition (NGT 1), we see a barefooted, bush haired (Amy Winehouse?), snaggletoothed (you can watch the one tooth grow), 7 year old girl performing her cover of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" (you will find many instances of Angelina incorporating Billie's singing style). This video contains English subscript, and captures little Angelina speaking with a NGT interviewer. I recommend watching the entire video. Probably Angelina's best NGT performance was her last, as her voice and presence has continued to mature. The NGT 4 video is similar to an America's Got Talent spotlight, featuring Angelina. Sitting with her feet far off the floor, Angelina speaks about her NGT experience. The spotlight immediately segments into her performance of Gershwin's "Summertime", sung in the style of Ella Fitzgerald. Immediately afterwards, the video picks up on the 4 judges speaking about the impact Angelina has had on them throughout the season. If you prefer to not include these remarks in your reaction, I attached them to the bottom of this comment (spoiler alert). Most reactors will stay with the video until it then transitions to the naming of the victor at the 8 min mark. The victory video continues for almost 5 more minutes.

The judges on Norway's Got Talent Season 2014 said of her:
Omer Bhatti, speaking of the barefooted 7 year old with a serious Amy Winehouse styled hair (who had one prominent permanent tooth, and one on the way) “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) 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…”
Judge Lisa Tønne said to Angelina “…I am so happy that there is a human like you on earth. For me, this is not human like talent, I can’t explain it. … I’ve never ever experienced such a talent in my life.”… and … “Don’t think. Just sing”
Judge Mia Gundersen told her “Angelina, you have a gift that you got at such an early age. And to be able to convey this talent to the world is a huge task for an 8 year old, but you nail it. There’s almost no one that can convey in the way you do in this age. There are a lot of singers out there, and some of them sing great. But you have such a unique style. You have to protect your style. You have to understand that for yourself because it’s a gift…” .
Judge Bjarte Hjelmeland said “It won’t help how many times you say ‘Don’t you cry’, I can’t help it but to cry. You know I promised you and myself to not cry, but you hit something inside me whenever you sin, and you hit something in many people when you sing. And I’m thinking to myself, in 10 years… I think that is unimaginable".
Oh wow thanks super much for sharing and taking the time to recommend. I will definitely check all of them. Angelina is so amazing😍
awesome reaction and singer....your voice is really beautiful......
Thanks so much Mr. Bruce for your kind words and appreciation. Have a wonderful day💕
Aaliyah, No one is ever prepared to listen to this. It is truly a MASTERPIECE production ( she is responsible for the rearrangement).
It was so nice to hear your complimentary remarks about Angelina. True artists, like yourself, recognize pure talent and it was wonderful to see a classical singer emotionally moved by her.
Yes. her soulfulness is genuine and if you choose to find out more about her you will understand what her desires are in life.
Aaliyah, I wold love to hear more reactions of Angelina by you.
I have subscribed.
Oh thanks so much Mr. Robert, i will definitely react on her more, she is so incredible. I am sooo amazed by her great talent. Angelina is an inspiration to me😍
Aaliyah Capili you are a beautiful soul
Awww thanks soooo much💕🌺💕
You must experience "My Funny Valintine" that was dropped of Feb 14 of 22, AJ is now 16 and over 6 feet tall.
Oh wow she is so stunning, i will definitely check it out too😍💕😍
Excellent Aaliyah. Well done. You are clearly very talented yourself, as well. Best wishes in your career.
Thanks so much Mr. Len for your kind words and appreciation💕🌺💕have a wonderful day🌺💕🌺
@@AaliyahCapili I'm coming in late. Angelina is no stranger to acapella. She did this same amazing thing when she was 7-8 years old for her second audition for NGT 2014. Here is the link to that performance. This was the first thing I heard from Angelina. How a young singer could do what she did was unbelievable. You watch and tell me what you would do had you never heard of her and at walked up to the Mic and did this?!!
czcams.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/video.html Angelina 7-8 'I'm A Fool To Want You'.
Aaliyah, three nights before I found Angelina, I found another 'wunderkind'. Her name is Daneliya Tuleshova she was 10 years old at the time in November of 2017 and 6 months younger than Angelina. She hadn't gotten but two notes into her blind audition when the heavens opened up and a white light passed through me and I felt like a lightening bolt had pierced my heart. I could not see anything but white for almost thirty seconds as I listened to a voice that was an impossibility. I have never had any experience like that in my then 68 years of being alive.
Anyway, I ask you to please listen to this young girl sing. She does 2 songs. The whole audition is 10:30 long but it has the subtitles so you know what everyone is saying. That audition went viral and has been viewed over 84 million times. She is 17 now and moved to the U.S. two weeks after her 16th birthday to pursue her career and finish school. I hope you watch the video and that it would pique your interest enough to want to see more. Thanks for your consideration. Here's the link. Oh by the way she won the whole competition and was and still is the youngest to ever win that competition.

Great reaction hope you continue your Angeline journey...if you do I will be here.

Beautiful reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖
Thanks so much too for taking the time to watch💕🥰💕
Dear Aaliyah, thank you for following my suggestion and listening to and enjoying Angelina. Even at 7 years old she was an exceptional singer and she just gets better year by year. As you identified her singing touches the soul. In fact the most beautiful thing about her singing is she always respects the song and does not hit big notes or does amazing riffs just because she can (but she really can when she wants to). There are many, many other performances you could react to. But I'm certain that you will soon receive comments from her myriad of fans giving you full biographies and song lists.
Given that you listened to Bohemian Rhapsody, another singer you should listen to is the original singer of this song, Freddie Mercury of Queen. Despite tragically dying over 30 years ago, Freddie is still considered the best male vocalist ever. A good live Queen performance to listen to is "Somebody to love" live in Montreal. But interestingly maybe for you, Freddie loved opera, idolised Monserrat Caballe and dreamed of singing with her. Eventually this happened and he and Montsy recorded the first ever rock-opera crossover album. A song you could listen to is the title song Barcelona, which if you listen to the lyrics, is about Freddie dreaming of meeting Montsy and finally doing so in Barcelona (her hometown). But a left field song would be Freddie alone (exercises in free love). This is a demo of Freddie singing a melody for Montsy as a soprano (the piano was added later when it was released after Freddie's death) to see if she liked it, before he wrote the lyrics. When he played it for Montsy, she secretly loved it, but told Freddie she wasn't sure and asked if she could have the tape to listen to later. She then had a friend write Spainish lyrics for the melody and surprised Freddie by singing it for him at a concert at Convent Garden, London. This is just one of the many touching stories of the special relationship Freddie and Montsy had. For example, when they first met, Montsy asked why Freddie why he wanted to sing with her when she was so old and fat. Freddie's answer was "I love music and you are music".
Thanks so much Mr. David for your suggestion, i am glad i followed it💕🌺💕Angelina is an incredible artist and person. She is truly an inspiration for us. Thanks too about sharing the story about the original singer Mr. Freddie and about Montsy too😍what a touching story🌺💕🌺have a wonderful day🌺
@@AaliyahCapili Dear Aaliyah, thank you for your kind response. By now you will have received numerous biographies about Angelina's singing and kind ❤. So won't add more. But if you want to review a further song by her I would suggest her Norway's got talent audition (gloomy Sunday song) when she was 7, very cute little girl with big hair and a few missing teeth who sings like a 50 year old 1940s Jazz singer or her original song "million miles" which is about the loss of her grandfather, but she dedicated it to everyone who had lost someone dear to them. The live studio version is probably best for you, but actual video is also good, her uncle plays her grandfather and her younger sister plays Angelina. In the lyrics video, all the artwork is by Angelina's grandmother (Mery) who was also a child prodigy artist and poet, and it is probably because of her that Angelina's family have been so protective of her and allowed her to have a fairly normal childhood.
As for Freddie he is also a phenomenon with a unique voice. He is most famous for his fast (machine gun) vibrato, the range of genre's he covered and the fullness of his voice (multiple subharmonics and overtones). He is also probably the greatest showman of all time. He basically invented audience participation (before the 70s audiences didn't sing along at concerts until Queen arrived on the scene, they also invented the music video with Bohemian Rhapsody). Famously for the song "love of my life" the audience would do most of the singing with Freddie conducting them and he would always do a vocal warm up with the audience where he sang a phrase and the audience sang it back. Once on an interview Freddie was asked what is your favourite instrument and he immediately replied "the audience". Something showing this and Freddie the showman is the Wembley "live aid" set, where Queen did a 15 min compilation of songs. This is often claimed to be the best live performance ever, but Freddie was sick that morning and told not to sing by his doctor, he'd also had vocal nodules for years at this point (he was an untrained/self-taught singer.
Guess I don't need to tell you anything about Monserrat Caballe as she is one of the most famous sopranos of all time. But she also had a wonderful kind, fun loving personality.
Hope you decide to listen to Freddie, he like Dimash and Angelina has an army of dedicated fans who will boost likes and subscriptions for your channel, as I'm sure you're Angelina reaction is currently doing. But don't be like other reactors who just react to everything these guys sing to boost their algorithms. Do as you have with Dimash, just a few selected songs that reflect the range of their voices and the genre's they cover.
Would love to hear what you think of Dimash, Angelina and Freddie. For me, as I said yesterday, Angelina sings from her soul is about simplicity (never shows off, stands almost motionless when she sings and is either a Capella or backed by a single guitar or piano), Dimash is technically the best, but does frequently show off, is always striking poses and likes to have an orchestra, band, choir.... I.e. big production. Whereas, Freddie is the happy medium a natural showman (but actually a very shy introvert off stage), but rarely does things just to show off. But maybe I'm biased by having grown up to a background track 9f Queen and Freddie.
But think for yourself as a singer you can learn a lot from all of them and the common lesson from all 3 is not to limit your horizons or limit yourself to one genre. There's a big, big universe of music, so get out and enjoy it as much as you can
Angelina Jordan killing me softly with this song
🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations! You just discovered the best Vocal Artist on the Planet! IMO This opinion is quickly being reinforced as her career is finally starting to I believe explode. I'm surprised there are still many who know nothing about her but again I think that is going to change.If you want to hear music listen to anyone. If you want to feel it listen to Angelina. You have a lot of catching up to do if you decide to follow this girl and it would be a mistake in my opinion not to. Not just a great artist but an even greater Human Being! Hang on. Her angels will soon fill you in on her incredible journey & accomplishments When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. czcams.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/video.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! czcams.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/video.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. czcams.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/video.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. czcams.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/video.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! czcams.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/video.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old! Angelina is the Grand Master of Jazz!Her voice has been beautiful since she was 6 yrs old. Don't let her cuteness fool you when you see Young Angelina. When Angelina is on stage or in studio AJ don't play! I see you've got most of Angelina's story from her Angels so I'll just give you a few suggestion of some of my Favorites Angelina Jordan, The barefoot princess of Jazz. Girl of a thousand different voices. Velvet Voice and Mona Lisa smile. Her first song was Whitney Houston 'I Will Always Love You'? at 18 months. Angelina is the Grand Master of Jazz! She could teach a Master Class at 8 years old.

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 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 nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: czcams.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/video.html
---- Mery has CZcams channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: czcams.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. 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 that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 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: czcams.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/video.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: czcams.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/video.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: czcams.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/video.html)
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: czcams.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/video.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): czcams.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/video.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: czcams.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/video.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: czcams.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/video.html]
[as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: czcams.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/video.html]
---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: czcams.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/video.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: czcams.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/video.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: czcams.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/video.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: czcams.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/video.html)
[Studio video was created by Stargate who is top shelf record producing and songwriting team (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) that is now based in Los Angeles. Team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. They have won 4 Grammy Awards and been nominated 17 times. Besides Angelina, they have produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz 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,” she explained. “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 finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said.]
[Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared]
[Angelina said that studio video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s paintings as background: czcams.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/video.html. Audio only: czcams.com/video/2D9qvBfx47s/video.html. Studio live performance: czcams.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/video.html. Official music video: czcams.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/video.html)
[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."]

@@AaliyahCapili No problem - You sound amazing also - Maybe someday you will meet Angelina - I hope you both win lots of Grammy Awards in your careers :)
Aaliyah thank you for your wonderful reaction to Angelina Jordan. She is a true prodigy. Her covers of jazz standards during her preteen years are so very special and I hope you will react to a few of them. Please read the biography I compiled 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 CZcams. 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 attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
*Why Angelina always performs barefoot*
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes.
Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on CZcams went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration
Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14.
At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs.
At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a CZcams 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 CZcams. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On CZcams, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video.
The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her.
During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.
In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”
In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song.
Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram.
Angelina 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.
Incredible comment for an awesome artist and - IMO - an even greater and wonderful human being ! Thank you - and I also like Aaliyah's most adequate reaction 👏🤝👍

Great reaction, looking forward to the next one
Thanks so much🥰
your adorable
Yes indeed💕🌺💕
An outstanding reaction on an outstanding singer....
Thanks so much. Angelina is indeed outstanding and amazing😍💕😍
Thanks for the insightful reaction, Aaliyah! I enjoyed it, but I was having a little trouble hearing your voice compared to the video audio level; it might be my equipment to blame. Getting back to Angelina, I agree with you and Simon that this is an amazing performance. If you dare, you might react to her most shocking vocal outing ever, arranged by her and recorded when she was just 9 yrs old: the black & white video of her cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' blues classic, I Put A Spell On You. Caution: everything you think you know about reality may vanish as you listen. Link below for your convenience:
I Put A Spell On You - arranged & sung by Angelina Jordan: czcams.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/video.html
Hello, awww super thanks so much for sharing💕thanks for your feedback and recommendations as well. I am looking forward to watch it🌺have a wondeful day💕
Your "Caution" cracked me up because, far from being "over the top" it's totally TRUE!
@@Membwayne 🥰🤗🌺
I hope you do a lot more of Angelina Jordan reactions :)
I will definitely do🌺
Actually, by the time the competition was over on Norway's Got Talent, she was 8, making her 14 for this performance. Producers, because of the timing of the show decided to change her age.
Thanks for sharing🥰
Sweet reaction... Welcome to Angelina world. The living members of Queen liked this rendition so much that they put it on their site and granted her copyrights.
Her story is heart warming, because her amazing talent is equaled by her honesty and caring for the world and fellow human beings.
Thanks so much Mr. Eric, she is really amazing💕💕💕
Hi,welcome to Angelinas world..you must react to her coversong,unchained melody,Rightehouse Brothers song when she was 11years old,you will love it and be shocked

Anyway, I do like your lovely reaction to Norways treasure Angelina🇧🇻 July 10, I will be at Angelina concert in Sandefjord, Norway😄
Hello Mr. John, thanks so much for your kind words and appreciation. I am so grateful for each one, who took their time to share, give feedback and recommendations. I promise myself to always try to find time, either during weekends when I have no school or anytime i can be free to reply🙏I was able to learn a lot from all of it. I will work harder to improve my channel and someday to be able to sing beautifully too. Have a wonderful weekend Mr. John💕🌺💕
Thanks for blending analysis with heartfelt appreciation. Angelina is vocal genius. You might like to hear her latest cover (at 16) of Adele's new song, Easy On Me. Or her latest original 7th Heaven. She has loads of covers from Lana Del Rey's Born to Die to Rihanna's Stay to Aviccii's Wake Me Up. And every one equals or exceeds the original. Happy listening.
Thanks so much for sharing and for your recommendations, i will definitely check it out💕
I like classical music too. 👍🇸🇪
Oh nice, thanks Mr. Sven💕
Please react to her 1st song from Norways Got Talent "I'm a fool to want you" as an acapella version. Since this version I knew what musical potential she has.
Thanks so much for your suggestion, i will check it out too🌺💕🌺
:-)) Love your reaction :-))
Thanks so much💕🌺💕
This is almost a riot
🤗🥰🤗
Now you've done it, jumped into the AJ rabbit hole. Have a listen to her cover of fly me to the moon for Quincy Jones birthday
Thanks so much Mr. Tom for your recommendation, I will check it out too💕
♥️♥️♥️
Thanks mommy, love u💕💕💕
You sound beautiful as well :)
Awww thanks sooo much♥️🙏♥️
Ah thanks for your genuine and loving critique. You are beautiful.
Awww thanks so much Ms. Patty for your kind words and appreciation. I am truly grateful🌺
This was a beautiful version, but if you want to be really impressed by her voice, go listen to her her studio version of “I Put A Spell On You”!
Thanks so much Ms. Lisa, for your recommendation, I will check it out too🥰
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following five 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): czcams.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/video.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: czcams.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/video.html]
[as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: czcams.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/video.html]
[as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: czcams.com/video/whH6fnKAooo/video.html]
[as 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: czcams.com/video/9sYypd1yGR4/video.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 CZcams: czcams.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/video.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 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 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: czcams.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/video.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: czcams.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/video.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: czcams.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/video.html]
Oh wow thanks so much for sharing, i will definitely check it out. I am so amazed by her incredible talent. I am a fan😍😍😍
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: czcams.com/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/video.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: czcams.com/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/video.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: czcams.com/video/Nryuk21mXkQ/video.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: czcams.com/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/video.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: czcams.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/video.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: czcams.com/video/i0rSKumJE8s/video.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: czcams.com/video/8glJLHUd7uo/video.html)
Thanks again, i will definitely check them out. Angelina is soooo amazing and magnificent💕🌺💕
A beautiful professional reaction to the amazing Angelina.
Thanks so much Mr. Max😍
👍👍💙💙💙

Angelina Jordan is an absolutely extraordinary singer and an amazing person Rusty shackleford will probably post here. You should definitely read his comments. He maintains an up-to-date list of her songs on CZcams. It's 166 songs right now. Link czcams.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc.html
The first seven are originals. They're all extraordinary. They call Angelina the girl with a thousand voices for good reason. She can sing in many different styles and it can be very difficult to believe how good she is in so many different ways. Some notable songs that you should definitely react to I put a spell on You done at 9 years old in black and white WOW! WOW! WOW!. I who have nothing in studio for the first time at 6 years old wow. Every Time we say goodbye 10 years old beautiful I really like song for a..
Hello Mr. David, thanks so much for sharing. I really appreciate it. Angelina is so amazing💕💕💕
This was very nice. Thank you Aaliyha 😊 Angelina is special in meny ways. Like she is one of the most versatile singers I`ve ever heard. She has released coversongs from a great number of different genres. Here voice and singing skills was also picked by the russian composer of modern classic music (neo romantic style) Nico Cartosio, for the vokals on his song "A Song For A". This is the final track on his 2019 album "Melting", as he wanted to end his music album with a vokal piece. He had picked up on Angelina`s talent, and he asked her to do this song for his album. Angelina amazed us all again with this performance, as she revealed even one more side of her talent. I asume she might still have been 12 years old as she recorded this. I would love to see and hear what you tjhink of this. It`s wonderfull music from a great classical orcestra.
