I have been a year following this little angel redention. When she start singing, my tears start falling down. But I can't stop listening to her song. Yesterday was Angelina Jordan's sixthteen birth day. Angelina has given so much happiness and hope to millions of people aroung the world. In turn she deserves a happiest birth day. From Indonesia with love. Thanks Danny for reacting Angelina Jordan GBU
I believe this is one of the greatest and most creative vocal performances of all time, and just a hint of what will come from Angelina.
Just 9 years old here, Angelina really shows that she was born to do this. You mentioned that you don't care for runs. I don't either... when they are just runs for the sake of showing off. That is not how Angelina uses runs. She uses them in a more natural way that feels like they are just supposed to be there. Her AGT performances were a little heavier on the runs than normal but this is part of the setting. You have 2.5 minutes to stand in front of the entire world and show them what you are capable of. With that Bohemian performance she definitely did that ;)
And as is customary for anyone new to Angelina, I will leave this little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...bare foot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
- Updates: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist".
On Nov 6 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"!
On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven"
She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
She is a treasure. She has several great, great artists reincarnated into one body. She deserves to be at the top.
When you get over the initial shock at the talent of a nine year old to give us this, the thing to remember is that Angelina is a pro, even at this age. She was paying tribute to Screamin’ Jay Hawkins here, so she gave us an over-the-top version of the song in the style it needed to acknowledge the original. Angelina covers many, many genres with the same authenticity, and as you saw in Bohemian Rhapsody, her voice is unique. It’s too early for you to realize how good she is, but just listen to a few more. She makes everything she sings her own. Her voice can be absolutely mesmerizing, and I will also say that she is now the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard.
To see these qualities come together, watch her cover of Stay, (a Rihanna song), or Someone Like You, (an Adele cover). Or to see how truly amazing a child singer can be, try “I’m Still Holding out for You”, which Angelina recorded when she was 10. What’s good (and also bad) about that performance is that it’s not a video of her singing, but a montage of photos of Angelina along with the lyrics. So you don’t see the 10 year old-all you hear is Angelina’s nuanced, emotional, powerful voice full-throttle, leading us on a melancholy journey through dark lyrics. I think it’s one of her best early songs. She is a powerhouse of talent. But there are so many great songs, I can’t ever say there is an absolute favorite for me.
The way Angelina has taken every component of this somewhat wayward song and put it in such a concise arrangement is mind boggling.
Angelina's tone, emotion and timing is just a natural gift. No matter what she sing. I listen to constantly. Love her. Feeling Good.
If you notice, the director was reading a piece of paper at the beginning and those are the directions for some of the arrangement changes from Angelina. She does many of her own arrangements, and certainly she did the entire arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody and made it her own. By the way she is only 9 years old here!
Angelina just turned 9 here. You want to see even younger, react to Angelina Jordan, I Who Have Nothing , she was 6 years old!
Hello, Danny..
Welcome to the Angels, Angelina Jordan fans.
You are in for a treat! She has 5 originals and 2 songs written for her to sing and 133 coversongs. She has raised million for charity and toured all over the world.
She IS music and brought up under grandmothers love for jazz. She is Norways youngest published author and is a very nice Child. Swedish father and grandparents on her father side. Her Mother has Iranian and Japanese parents.
Angelina has absorbed the best from many cultures.
God resa videre. Hilsen 🇧🇻
Tackar!
Angelina can do any type of run you ask of her.. the magic is that she doesn't... unless she thinks it adds to the song and the emotion she is trying to portray. It's my opinion, I don't know of any other artist that I have heard in my lifetime that can stir emotion (chills, shivers, happiness, sorrow,...) in their listeners as she does. The confusing thing is how can she emote so incredibly while being so young and surely not have experienced life situations yet to draw upon... doesn't matter.. she is 110% believable and portrays *exactly* what she needs to.. as you said her 'tone' is unequaled.. You will not get shivers from all her songs, but the number of times you do after just a note or two is unmatched... She is a gift. Plain and simple. And the cherry on top is that she is just as good a human being as she is an singer/magician.
Cool 👍🏻
Angelina Jordan - All I Ask (Adele) this is going to blow your mind
Let us all agree - this is perfect music - fantastic band, great song, and supernatural singer.....generational talent. What can you say ? Speechless...
The best part is that you have 100+ songs left to get chills from. Every single one is mindblowing
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole!! We all go down and are happy to stay!!
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. With two "doses" of her, 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 (125+ 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 Etta James to Amy Winehouse (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 find out why she 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 something of a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again...
Just curious, as a Swede I am curious if you have heard of or followed Angelina's exploits in past years (before you reviewed Bohemian Rhapsody)? She has been working on her craft and singing iconic songs for quite a while (if we can say that about a 15yo).
She tests out a new mic with Etta's " I'd rather go blind". My personal favorite Angelina performance
Thanks!
Danny please take the time to read the biography I complied for my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan Astar.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
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 and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
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 befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no 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.” 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 so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. 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 asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on CZcams recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT 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.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of 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. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8.
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 CZcams went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, 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 Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon.
This is Angelina's version of the Screaming Jay Hawkins original. She was barely 9 when this was recorded and 10 when it was released.😎😎😎😎
You start questioning things because of this little girl. No matter the distance, she reaches out and touches you! Your going to be shocked like this a dozen more times it's that crazy! Likes, shares & subs are going up for you now.
Thanks!
Not just her magical voice.....the way she physically inhabits n interprets song through her bodily musicality is nothing short of cosmic wonder perfection......her facial nuances and perfect jazz head sways are beyond her own being.....
gotta check her out on Norway Got Talent at 7 yrs old.....her 4 songs live are fantastic!!!
Danny can u imagine these seasoned xperienced musicians just amazed by this little 9 yr old? She controlled the whole session with her ability....she sings like she's lived what she's singing! U need to watch her at 11 singing "Its a man's world" another wonder....she was born to sing!
Yeah, amazing!
Fly Me To The Moon, live at 8yrs old on the View (US TV show). You won't be disappointed!
This is destined to be a classic performance! Thanks for your reaction!
Thanks!
There is so much out there to explore when it comes to Angelina Jordan. My own suggestion would be to start with her earliest performances and follow her as she matures. Some of the early performances are truly amazing because she is so young and it just seems impossible that the sounds that she can produce are coming from a young girl. You MUST watch all of her songs that she sang for Norway's Talent Show at the age of 7-8..
Cool Thanks
...and she did also the arrangement :-D
Danny totally agree that she was put here to sing. At this time in history with her persona and sweet spirit coupled with her unparalleled vocal artistry is just what the world needs. Already she has brought millions of people together and impacted the world in a way not witnessed before, not to mention the monetizing she has achieved for reactors .
You have just begun a journey, with so many unexpected treasures to be found on the way. What makes it so special is that she shares all steps of the journey with us, rehearsals, live concerts, studio recordings. She has been inspired by a diverse list of artists, and has steadily developed her own unique style.
Here she is 9 years old, having entered Norway's Got Talent at age 7, won when she had turned 8. In the video you see her writing notes, this is the list of changes to the musical arrangement that she requested. She has a very clear idea of how she wants the song to sound.
I could give you a very long list of performances where the tone and expression of emotion are front and centre, but you mention Fly me to the Moon. She has sung this many times from the age of 8, but perhaps for her the most important occasion for her was in 2018 (age 12) when she was invited by Quincey Jones (who did the arrangement for Frank Sinatra) to open his 85th birthday concert at the O2 arena in London. There is no video of the actual performance, just the audio. It's not her own arrangement, she shows respect to Quincey by using his version. She has a symphony orchestra behind her, much as in the old swing days. Lady crooner is the term often applied to this kind of performance.

After this we can find you different genres for you to sample, just give us a hint at what you might like...
Thanks!
@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 No. Her performance on The View czcams.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/video.html At 8 yrs old is her Best in my Opinion. It's her arrangement. Just her and a Guitar.
Check out Norway got talent. She was only 7 years old. She sings Gloomy Sunday.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips! In the last week since I started doing reaction soneone else said I looked like Bale but that was the first and this was the second time in my life.
7:40 "It's about the emotion you provide when you sing" I couldn't agree more. I'm a musician too and I haven't seen anyone who can convey emotions as strongly and directly as Angelina does (this is my subjective perception of course). She reminds me that music is not about the art itself but rather the emotions you evoke through music. We tend to stick to the composition, the note values, the harmonies, the reference recordings, and try to meet the expectations,... but when I hear Angelina, she turns everything upside down, she doesn't do anything with her voice what you would expect, the growls are even out of this world of tonality, which singer nowadays would use growls anyway?, so I don't know how she does it, but 3.5 minutes of her singing always feels like 1 minute, every single one of her performances is captivating.
Thank you! The funny thing is I’ve always disliked when female singers growl like that but here I didn’t even mind it cause she’s so good 😁
awesome comment
One important thing to remember about AJ is that she owns the rights to everything she sings. She refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot, sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old! We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
Thanks! She doesn’t own all the covers she sings. Those are owned by the original artist and publisher.
Don't let that sweet innocent little face fool you when she starts singing she is a beast 💪. There's not a better vocalist out there at any age
♥️♥️♥️♥️ glad you are enjoying. She does I'm a fool to want you by Billie Holiday. Now, she first does it at age 7 acapella and again at 13 I believe in the studio. Amazing to watch her growth. Thank you for another great reaction to the Queen of Jazz
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess. She is always amazing.
One of my favorites of hers is her first Audition at Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 years old singing Gloomy Sunday by Billy Holiday. But whatever song you choose her unique ability to convey emotion through her music will make your soul smile 😊.
If you want to melt in your seat, check out her outdoor performance of What a Difference a Day Makes. She was 8 years old but, in my opinion, no longer a child singer.
Thank you, Jerry. I have been trying to promote that performance for reactions lately, without any luck (or support..) so far. Hopefully Danny will be the next one doing it 😊
@@sarlina1 I will always support you on that. The whole experience was a respectful interpretation of the original by Dinah Washington, complete with the two backing singers! Such a professional performance, and with such control and confidence! Stood alone in the middle of a vast audience!!
Thanks!
@@lesgray6183 Thank you, and indeed yes. So impressive, and she was not even one bit nervous. At 8! Mindblowing!
@Fedor Ivanov I am happy you agree, Fedor. Hope you are doing well, my friend 😊
She has the perfect voice for jazz and blues.
Agreed
Just 9 years old here. This is in 6/8 and her mastery of timing is insane.
Hello Danny. Great reaction. Welcome to the society of people who have been captivated by this incredible young artist. Knowing the Screamin' Jay Hawkins original version of this song, I find it completely incredible that this 9 year old girl can create such a composed and melodic version from where it started. She stayed true to the original song structure but greatly improved it to make it more enjoyable. She is completely in charge of what she sings, where she sings, and how the song is arranged in all of her performances. In this video, the paper she handed the band director at the start was some changes that she wanted in the arrangement.
In almost all of her performances, she only inserts her "flourishes" and runs where they will enhance or emphasize the story or intent of the song. She does not typically do a lot of vocal gymnastics or insert unnecessary runs into her performances. The performances she did for AGT had more than usual simply because that's what they tend to want to see when judging a performance. I look forward to your next reaction.
Because you mentioned "Fly me to the Moon", here are two different performances that I recommend. The first one is when she was 8 years old, performed on "The View" television show - czcams.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/video.html. The second one is when she was 12 years old and was a rehearsal with the London orchestra for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday celebration in the O2 Stadium in London - czcams.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/video.html.
Thanks!
I am a fool to want you. A cappella 7 years old. The 2 song in Norway got talent. Really unbelievable
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
Thanks :-)
Every time she says 'mine' that first time..I feel something!
The power, the authority coming trough in this one word!
Gets me every time!
Another great reaction. If you listen to Fly Me to the Moon, there are two classic versions out there that most react to, but they are very different. There is one from when she was, I believe, 8 years old, on the American talk show The View with Rosie O’Donnell. And there is another from when she was, I believe, 12, performed at the O2 in London on the occasion of Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday celebration. He invited her personally to open that gala with that song, that he arranged in 1964 for Frank Sinatra and Count Basie (and that I’m sure you know went on to become one of the greatest jazz standard recordings of all time). There is no video of that performance but there is an audio recording that you can hear as a straight audio track (it’s on CZcams) or synch’ed after the fact with the rehearsal performance of the song with the Senbla Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jules Buckley.
Needless to say, the two versions differ in some very predictable ways. The earlier version is just dripping in cuteness and it’s also an extremely impressive performance for anyone, never mind an eight-year-old kid. The Quincy Jones version is next level in terms of the quality, maturity and sophistication of her performance as well as the backing of a truly spectacular symphony orchestra.

Performance on the View. (8 yrs) czcams.com/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/video.html
I should have mentioned that there are other versions out there but these are the two I suggest you choose from.
Listen to her at 7
Also listen to her version of Wicked Game
It's worth checking out the song "Summertime" where she won Norway Gut Talent. She's the Princess of jazz 🎷🎻🎺
Thanks!
Unbelievable voice . Incredible. I love her
Screamin' Jay Hawkins wrote and performed this as the over-the-top showman he was. There have been hundreds of covers of it. Angelina took it and reworked it into a jazz/blues classic that will live forever. At age 9!!! If you are going to react to her singing "Fly Me To The Moon", she has about 40 different versions of it on CZcams. Some of my favorites are when she was on The View at age 8 in 2014, the acoustic video at age 10, and the rehearsal for her appearance at Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert at O2 Arena in London on June 27, 2018. She was 12. Be sure to use the video labeled "best concert sound".
Thanks!
Thanks Danny ,great reaction. Welcome to the world of Angelina!!!!
She has covered: Willie Nelson, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse, James Brown, Freddie Mercury, Nina Simone, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Bill Withers, Elvis Presley, Frankie Valli, Patsy Cline, Shirley Bassey, Lesley Gore, Etta James, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Bobby Vinton, Andy Williams, Miley Cyrus, Misora Hibari, Michael Jackson, Mama Cass Eliot, Chris Isaak, Adele, John Legend, and Rihanna. Often her cover, while respecting the styles of the original artists, meets and exceeds the original performance. Her versatility is unmatched.
She did the arrangement by watching a Screaming Jay Hawkins video and taking the parts she liked to put lit together, not bad for a 9 year old.
Not at all bad - even for an adult it would not be bad :)
HI Danny, awesome reaction & input you gave on Angie. I always give a welcome info pack to new Angie reactors, please read. Angie chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you ” at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent).
On AGT Angie made her outfit from patterns of her grandma's art work. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 4 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd or 4th. Angie turned 15 on 1-10-21 & she’s around 6 ft tall. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. Others will explain this or you can look it up. I'll give you a link to her 1st released single by Republic records titled “Million Miles” She wrote this shortly after her fraternal grandpa died in Nov. 2019, she was 13 & her other grandpa died in 2018. Angie & her grandma did the art for the (official lyric video). 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 you heart, as it comes straight from mine”. Stargate producer singer/songwriter Dakota posted on her instagram regarding the collaboration with Angie, said “This girls talent is freakin insane.” Angie has arranged over 130 covers & written 5 songs & had 2 written for her.
Angie never sings a song the same way twice, you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions.
(I do hope you buy & download her single & help support her art & music)

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Okay Danny, I've subscribed for your Angelina journey. There are so many directions you can go in listening to her, she is the most versatile singer I've ever heard. She has done brilliant covers of Adele (A Million Years Ago, When We Were Young, Someone You Loved, All I Ask), Lana Del Rey (Born to Die, Young and Beautiful), Rihanna (Stay), James Brown (It's a Man's World), classic jazz (Summertime, What A Difference A Day Makes, Feeling Good, Every Time We Say Goodbye) and many more, including a handful of originals even at this young age (also Wicked Game, as someone in the comments mentioned). Buckle up for the ride of your musical life!
Thanks 😊👍🏻
Girls that age have trouble singing Happy Birthday. Thank you for discovering this treasure.
Great reaction. We love our "Barefoot Princess"
Thanks!
She's an angel blessed with a fantastic voice! :)
Cute she is, cute like a Tiger cub. She was 9, I believe. Nice reaction, joining the Legion of Shock.
Please do her rendition of "Every time we say goodbye".
Absolutely beautiful.
Z.👍
2:19 The image of "Screaming Jay Hawkins" in Angelina's hand, she was very much influenced by this great entertainer in relation to this song but with her own twists added of course!
Here's a link below to show "Jay" performing the song "I put a spell on you", (there's a video that's from the mid 1950's of Jay performing this song on stage, behaving & singing like a mad man!) He was definitely into using shock tactic's to entertain his audience!
This clip is from the early 90's: [Screamin' Jay Hawkin's on Arsenio Hall]

Thanks!
Angelina Jordan voice of magic
Definitely a prodigy I’m going over 150 song in my folder that she perform never world
Well Danny, welcome to the Angelina Rabbit hole. This song for most of her Angels was an introduction to the incredible talent of this child prodigy. Generally after this one there is really no turning back since she is just 9 here. Head back to her Norway''s Got Talent performances at 7-8 years old to get a true feel for what is to come. Here Jazz/Blues roots run deep from an early introduction to great artists (Billy Holiday, Etta James, ) just to name a couple, from her Grandma Mery Zamani, a renowned Iranian artist. This only gets better and better as you take the journey.
Your journey has just began! Enjoy the ride!
She and Aurora are both amazing singers and very, very talented Norwegians! I can’t recall if you’ve done any Aurora, but you definitely should give it her a try! I am happy to be part ofYour reaction family and tell your wife I think she has an awesome smile and sense of humor!
At 9 years old....she is blessed!
Here's a quick bio of Angelina Jordan Astar: I'll bet you didn't know that her father is Swedish, her mother Norwegian, her grandmother Iranian and her late grandpa on her Mom's side Japanese? Obviously a great combination! Consequently, Angelina's first language in Norwegian, her second Farsi, her third English, and a bit of Japanese thrown in (while on tour in Japan, she sang in Japanese and a native said her pronunciation was perfect. I think I saw her speaking Swedish in an interview too. She has a calibrated ear and perfect pitch to drive her golden and unique voice. That helps her play the piano, guitar and, I am told, the flute and violin. She grew up listening to jazz records from her grandmother's collection, then found CZcams as a toddler and continued to listen to everything. She began voice lessons at about age 4 and went to a progressive school which allowed the children the freedom to develop their innate skills, and attended music classes after school.
At age 7 she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent and won it at age 8 by a landslide. After the audition, the judges said, "You ARE music," "You are a star," and "You were born to sing." That led the way to many appearances in concerts, TV, and for nonprofit and charitable venues all over the world, and the creation of over 130 marvelous cover and originals on CZcams, and some singles and albums.
She is entirely self-driven. She selects which songs to sing, rearranges them the way she wants, then directs the musicians as to the way to play them, sometimes showing them how.
She is not well known out of Northern Europe since her parents believe that she needs to continue her schooling, despite many offers from Disney and other giants. Her fans believe that her acceptance to compete in America's Got Talent - the Champions, was mostly to get the American public to know her. Then at age 14, she finally succumbed and signed with a negotiated offer from Republic Records which is apparently allowing her the freedom to produce what she wants and even covers for her CZcams fans (a wonderful cover of Adele's "All I Ask" was just released.
I saw you reacted to bang bang from kills bill you should check out Angelina's version when she was 8 at N.G.T. it was great, great reaction Danny, I always like going back to her younger stuff, 👏👏👏👍🤘❤🇨🇱
Thanks!
U r good keep reacting shevus one if the best in the planet no surprise a gift and old soul and together with Marcelito and the King Dimash are the best and we are lucky to live in the same plato !!!
Thanks!
YEAP!
This' just SO SO GOOD!
As a musician you'll understand what an extreme talent it takes to do this at age 9.
Welcome to the club. ;)
All the Best from Arctic Norway o/
Thanks! :-)

Hi Danny - I really sense you are about to embark on an Angelina journey so you now have another Angel subscriber and I'm sure many more to come if you regularly react to this Angel. (who yes I'm sure was put on this earth to sing - but also I feel so much more than just singing :-) ) - Loved the reaction and so looking forward to Fly me to the Moon which she has done several versions of over the last 7 years. My favourite for that song is from her live performance at the o2 Arena, London when she was invited to sing at Quincy Jones 85th birthday celebration. This is the link to that recording. (it is audio only but wow is it good audio as it was broadcast on radio later that week) This was in 2018 when she was 12. czcams.com/video/GLdNc29qd70/video.html . She has also performed it much younger of course but that is my personal favourite for that particular song. But to be honest. you can react to anything next. I'm sure you will keep being more than pleasantly mind blown !!
Thanks!
Every time she does the screech I start laughing in awe, because I would have a coughing fit if I tried that. She is so good :)
Hey Danny good job of keeping your jaw from falling on the floor lol how about Angelina's vibrato and breath control at the end of the song at only nine-years- old
THAT WAS FANTASTIC...
YOU ARE SO RIGHT, IF WE ARE HERE FOR A PURPOSE ITS FOR HER TO SING....❤
May be you should react to Fly me to the moon and then What a difference a day makes and after one of her original songs call Shield.
She makes always her own arrangements.
She has done covers too to The Show must go on from Queen. Amazing cover and to Yellow Brick Road from Elton John.
Remember Danny that with Bohemian Rhapsody she was part of a competition, and she needed to impress the judges, not just the audience. Angelina has sung over 100 covers, and her style definitely does not include runs just for the sake of them. You hit the nail on the head when you used the words "soul" and "reincarnation". Most people who hear her for the first time are struck and they universally describe her as an "old soul" captured in the body of a little girl. She's very special.
Thanks!
Her rendition of Every time we say goodbye is simplistic in its delivery and quite beautiful, and also her version of Born to die by Lana del ray. Worth listening to.
Thank you for reacting Angelina I guarantee you the more videos you play of her Will bring all her fans to your channel.....It’s very nice that you’re reacting thank you
Thanks!
Please react to I'd rather go blind and stay by angelina jordan
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
You will enjoy this. No runs but a total tribute to Etta James. Glad you enjoyed this performance.
Yours is the best reaction I’ve ever seen she’s always giving me chills but you’re very spiritual and you’ve picked up on the fact that she is an incredibly old soul born to sing and to give people chills
Thank you! I'm always honest in my reviews and this is one of her best imo.
Hola Danny, bienvenido al mundo de Angelina, me encanto tu reaccion y me acabo de suscribir, con este video fue que conoci a Angelina de casualidad hace mas de 4 años, tengo 51 años, mucho Rock encima, The Police, ACDC y tantos mas, y llego Angelina, como que hizo encontrar ese lado incomcluso que se ve que tenia con la musica, me lleno por completo, todos los dias la escucho, su musica ya paso a ser mi aliado, una historia de vida hermosa y como persona es mejor de lo que canta, imaginate, es especial, espero por mas reacciones de Angelina, muchas gracias y saludos desde Argentina...
Dicen que la música es una especie de terapia y desde que escucho y veo a Angelina sin duda mis días son mejores🥰👌👏👏👏

The Show Must Go On
Here Comes The sun
All of me
132 covers as of 2020and now 6 originals. All covers her own arrangements
I Have Nothing
There are time when you think. She can be a actor too. Those emotion really gives out the goosebumps. When I closed my eyes, you would’ve thought a guy singing out his feelings. Angelina Jordan definitely one those song killers. When they sing it’s way better the originals. 😁😍
Yeah she’s amazing
Angelina is simply the best like you say She’s definitely heaven sent I never get shocked with Angelina because any song she sings is always amazing to me,Did you know her father is Swedish Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶🦶👏👋
Thanks! Yes I heard her dad is Swedish.
Another spell was cast by 9 yo Angelina.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “list of suggested changes” to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talk with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a Doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind the world that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
Listen to her cover of Adeles - Someone like you or her cover of Rianah - Stay
The reason you had not heard a section in the original is because this was her own arrangement! Yep, reincarnation for sure! And afterward she ran outside to play with her friends. Extraordinary AND ordinary. Amazing.
💖Wonderful reaction. Härlig reaktion! 💖
Thanks!
Angelina aged 12 singing It’s a mans world is monumental
try angelina's cover of whitney houstons i have nothing
Her band called her “The boss.”
This was the first I heard of her. I had to stop in the middle to make sure I wasn’t getting into dark arts and then noticed who was singing. She’s a lot to take in at first. I haven’t stopped listening since. I’m a grandma in my seventies. I have to be careful not to listen to her close to bed time. More than once I stayed up all night listening to her.
Here her sing Rather go Blind by Etta James she was Angelina Jordan was 12 years old
You got to listen to “I have nothing” from her...I think she sings it better then Whitney...she sings it at 13 and Whitney sang it in her 20ties ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We all get chills when we listen to her! She makes old songs current again and just pulls you in! Also listen to her singing “ yellow brick road”
Unfortunately I don't like the original song "I have nothing".
Please consider Angelina's cover of
Wicked game. Just an amazing rendering thank you
Thanks! I might but, it IS my favourite song of all time and I see no way anyone tops Chris’ version, for me 😁
@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513, it’s pretty incredible how she handles “Wicked game”, you will not be disappointed...if it is your favorite song you will regret not reviewing it.
Hahahahaha...I so enjoy seeing you get chills Danny...Great great reaction my friend. Love it..Cheers..
Thanks Ponchai 😊👍🏻
I got some of your chills--and I've heard this many times. I like it better than Screamin' Jay's version. She's not just 9 year old vocal genius, she a 9 year old vocal genius with a band, a good band. As they have no doubt told you, she's barefoot because when she was 6, she had a conversation with a street vendor in Iran (probably in Farsi) who was so poor she did not have any shoes. Angelina gave her her beloved green boots, told her to never give up hope, and vowed to always perform barefooted to remind us there are children in need. She's kept that promise. You might like to hear her tribute to her friend Avicii. Her version of Wake Me Up is heartbreakingly lovely.
Cool, thanks!
Super reaction. Subscribed.
I am stil holding out for you❤❤❤
I think we all get them ❤️❤️goosebumps all the time when I listen to her
If you are looking for passion in Angelina's vocal art, here it is in its most obvious screaming energized form.
In my opinion, to talk about reincarnation, channelling or other sorts of human possession by musical spirits in reference to Angelina prodigy, intelligence and genius is supremely offending for the little girl who deserves alone all the praises and the glory.
Thank you, Danny, for doing justice to Angelina in that regard!
