Watching people get blown away hearing AJ for the first time never gets old! 😂❤
yeah😀
So, so good!
YES 🎉
WELCOME TO THE MOST AMAZING RABBITHOLE YOU WILL EVER FIND.
Sir, the Norwegians declared her THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY for a reason. For them she still is that treasure and they are immensely proud of her, even when she now resides in LA.
I am not sure what you mean with that statement. I have never seen anybody declaring her as such. I tried searching "nasjonalskatt Angelina Jordan" and didn't get any relevant hits. I mean, some people throws in the word when they talk about great people, but you make it sound like she got some official title or something. I consider her among the greatest musicians born in Norway (along with Ole Bull 1810-1880, Edvard Grieg 1843-1907, Kirsten Flagstad 1895-1962, maybe Arve Tellefsen 1936-, maybe Jan Garbarek 1947- it's hard to say exactly who should be included in such lists, but I think Angelina should be included). It is not like every Norwegian remember who she is, but she obviously has many angels in Norway as well (and when she become as famous as I expect, I am sure Norwegians who has forgotten about her will be proud as well 😀).
I believe it was the Queen of Norway who made that comment. @torejorgensen5344
@@davidfryer9218 Thank you friend
@@torejorgensen5344 Norwegians wrote here in YT about it, and later on I saw comments from many others. PEACE
@@elmarwinkler6335 I highly doubt the story about queen Sonja calling Angelina a national treasure. I can find no trace of Sonja talking about Angelina. Anyway, I think that the way you emphasise it, it looks like something along the lines of queen Elisabeth knighting someone, and even if Sonja at some point used the word, it would still not be anything like that. Angelina is such a beautiful soul and has so many expectations around her that I don't think we as fans need to glorify her further with invented stories. Even though she has her family around her and does what she love, it must still feel like a pressure to not step wrong. That is why I reacted to your statement. No hard feelings, I know we both love Angelina, but she is such a fabulous person that it saddens me when I see statements I believe to be untrue that might further build up a glorified image. I am rambling, but at the end of the day she is just a young lady at the entrance of being an adult, and I think it is important that we as fans don't create a gloss picture that it's impossible to live up to. Anyway, enough rambling, peace and love and looking forward to the next song/performance by Angelina.
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 - by the age of 10 Angelina was already at Master Class level.
YEPP Correct. Greetings from Germany
Yeah...you just found the best female vocalist ever.
The Angel's are coming to you.
Just remember, she entered Norway’s Got Talent at 7 years old and won it at 8 years old. She begins singing at one and a half. By 10 years old, she was already a seasoned singer. there is so much more for you to see.
She started singing at the age of 2
and the human brain is calibrated to learn language at that age.
Music is language.❤
Even earlier than that! At the age of 1 and half. At that point 6 months makes a big difference, so let's get the numbers right.

Nick, thanks for your first reaction to Angelina Jordan, who has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. Here at age 10, she was already a national treasure in Norway. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for Angelina.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway.
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 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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website.
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.
Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age.
Angelina was near her 8th birthday 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, and was not performed in front of an audience.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang.” 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”. The money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
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’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 playlist now exceeds 200 songs.
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 had concerts in Norway in July 2022.
In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles.
On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions.
On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go"
On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes”
The finance company SoFi is using Angelina’s original song “Our Time” in a commercial and the full song was uploaded on CZcams on October 27, 2023.
On November 25, 2023, Angelina attended Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France.
On December 11, 2023, Angelina performed at the tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize ceremony, when she was 8 years old.
Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian.
We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change.
February 29 2024, Angelina performed 2 shows at the Westgate Resort in Las Vegas. She debuted her new original song, “Princess of Ruins” which tells the story of why she perfoms barefoot. No doubt, it will be her signature song.
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 desired to 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.
Nina Simone's rendition is considered by most to be 'The Gold Standard' for this song, but Angelina, here at 10,
brings forth a rendition that I feel is 'The Platinum Standard' for the song. I've never heard anyone sing it better.
SHE BREATHES SONG
This rabbit hole is deep. I’ve been in it for 5 years and can’t get out! You ain’t seen nothing yet! Welcome to our world
I am both daunted and determined.
That was Angelina’s arrangement. There are videos of her sitting at the piano working on it. Her grandmother, who was a child protege herself, recognized Angelina’s talent at an early age (18 months), and made lots of home videos of Angelina as she was growing up. No other artist I know of has such a well documented life. Once you have watched many of the “performances”, it’s fascinating to go back and watch the rehearsals. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
The stage is Angelina's playground , she is most at home when she is on stage performing. A pro singer while still in Elementary school, no one like this Barefoot little lady, as you will come to realize as she sings one genre after another to perfection with her own musical arrangements to boot.
AJ is a true gift to the world. I just hope LA doesn't tarnish her with the crazy people there
Queen Angelina Jordan, 18 years old, a young woman with a prodigious voice, is already considered by many prestigious musicians and composers, winners of multiple Grammys and Oscars, the best vocalist currently with a complex, unique and incomparable voice, the rest of the artists Only in dreams would they achieve the level of Angelina Jordán, Mexico
She is astonishing.... large audiences have never fazed her one bit - the larger the better... she just loves performing and never gets nervous. And by 10 she was already up there with the great singers... Incredible talent and a lovely person.
You've only just begun.....
to be blown away even more, watch "I Put a Spell on You". Trust me, your head will blow up.
We are from different places, but when it comes to music, we 're on the same wavelength.
Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James,Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official CZcams channel on March 29th, 2024.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Angelina won Norways Got Talent at 8 years old,she has around 180 upgrades of songs and 14 original songs, Angelina takes a classic song and arranges it still pays homage to the original but makes the song her own, Angelina has a beautiful unique silvery vibrato and a amazing soulful jazzy pitch perfect voice, she is also a master of singing the lowest notes,Angelina signed with Republic Records at 14 years old, her Uncle Mike is her manager and Angelina’s grandmother Mery is involved with production, Mery introduced Angelina to the classic song and jazz when Angelina was 1 1/2 years old,Angelina is mainly self taught you cannot teach this she was born to sing , I attended Angelina’s live concerts recently in Las Vegas on the 29th February, Angelina’s stage presence was outstanding her live vocals phenomenal, Angelina has always been known as the barefoot Queen of jazz with a thousand different styles and vocals, she can sing any genre,welcome to one of the if not the best singer I’ve ever heard or seen, great reaction thanks 🙏 Checkout Angelina’s arrangement of ( I Put A Spell On You ) black and white studio version when Angelina was 9 years old!
And “I’d Rather Go Blind” age 12
Welcome to AJ's world. As a musician, i hope you'll also pay attention to her musical arrangements. Flawless!!! Also watch her during rehearsal, she has always been in charge, which is the reason that musicians began calling her "boss." Enjoy the journey.
Welcome to the Jordan Journey. Best place to be.
(Edit) to be fair Angelina has the vocal capabilities of an adult at 10 years old. She literally mastered her kid voice.
Chrono? Start with "I Who Have Nothing" she was 6 and it was her first time recording in studio. Find the subtitle video.
She was honored to just have her first Las Vegas concert (2 shows in one night) back in feb.
Her music totalling over 200 songs. She has TWO YT channels where you find them.
Welcome to the future of music my friend. Be seeing you around. Oh and she started singing at 18 MONTHS old.
Sir, AJ started "singing" at age 18 MONTHS, discovered Jazz shortly after, and decided to practice nearly every day for many hours since around 3 years old. From age 4 on she visited the music academy of Oslo for technical advice and practices still today. She excelled in Mathematics and languages (speaking 6 languages) playing at least 2 instruments (piano and guitar) I am sure of.
She designes clothes (tutored by her artistic grandma Mery), is/was a good seamstress and has a "perfect ear" for music, hence her nickname THE BOSS. If AJ tells a musician how to play a certain part of music, it IS better so.
Be safe with yours.
Respectfully, Elmar from Germany

Prepare to be blown away again and again and again with Angelina.
Yes, the unexpected should be expected.
Angelina started singing in the crib, literally, started being astounding around the age of 6. She won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 and ten years later, last month, she she had her first Vegas show. I'll be following your journey Nick.
I always love the first reactions to Angelina, her lovely appearance and then the voice. Watching someone see her for the first time. So wonderful.
Plus... it's even better with a little bit of, an anticipation of Angelina being a typically cute little kid... then WAMMO!
Angelina's "fame" in the public eye began at 7 - 8 years old, winning Norway's Got Talent.
There are 4 great performances to react to from that competition.
Chronologically, you need to see her singing a snippet of "I will always love you" at age 18 months old. It is in the short documentaries "10 years in the making"( on her official channel, and "Angelina Jordan-the early years"( on the wrapped in a warm blanket channel.
I love watching ppl reacting to Angelina for the first time! This is a good "first" one. Enjoy the trip!
Angelina Jordan is a genius and prodigy. She will blow you away with everything she sings. Arguably the best female singer of all time.
Definitely, the most versatile singer of different genre songs, going from the stratosphere to sing like
Whitney, and then still able to go into the lowest of low registers to sing 'How Great Thou Art'. Not even
Elvis held the same low register for as long a sustained time as she does in the song.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice.
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 a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran.

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.

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. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “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 had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage.
Wow
For your next one you can either jump back one year to 9 yr old with I Put A Spell On You or you can jump forward a couple of years to 12 yrs old to an outdoor concert in Norway when she sang It's A Man's World ❤❤❤❤❤
Deep rabbit hole.
Welcome.
I'm 65, a traditionally early rock and blues fan and I've been a fan of AJ'S for 4 year.❤ her
Hah...ok Nick..you just been Angelinaized...we all love this one for sure, but you ain't seen nothing yet!!! She has over 200+ covers and originals on YT...we fans are millions and millions strong that support her. She is a once in a lifetime prodigy/genius vocalist that started at 6 years old. She won Norway Got Talent at 8 years old competing against adults. She is a generational talent who is now just 18 years old. You will get a lot of comments and information on her here, hope you take the time to read through them. A WTF moment happens a lot. 🥰🥰
Nick, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" I could go on and on but I will let Angelina take it from here! You will definitely enjoy the journey you are about to go on.
Nick, thank for the beautiful reaction to this amazing performance by Angelina and welcome in her magical world. Her very personal reading of this classic, which she has developed on her own, is sensational not only for a 10-year-old girl, but for an adult as well, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in a very personal way. The natural talent of this girl is simply unreal and that ending of it ... Angelina is sure my preferred singer, she is a kind of daydream that has been going on for 10 years now and continues to excite me. Now she is a girl of 18 old years and, if is possible, is even more amazing, this girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, she will find a way to transform them with her extraordinary musical intelligence.💛🧡❤
I'm adding two link of her piano sessions of this song, 2 years before this show (at only 8 years), to also understand how a fantastic young artist works.

Dear Claudio ... thanks so much for your lovely comment. Oh, the joy of being able to reflect on such extraordinary musical intelligence ... and the manner in which she packages it for us! j in nz
A ten year old singing with a band of this caliber. It just doesn't happen unless you're damn good.
Welcome my friend to the world of Angelina Jordan. A child prodigy and a musical genius. One Norway's Got Talent at the age of eight singing a jazz classic "Summertime." As you can tell by her jazzy tones, Angelina was exposed and influenced by jazz from a very very young age through her grandmother Mery. Her mentors being Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra and modern mentors like Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Nora Jones, and the fabulous Elvis Presley. Angelina is a combination of all these great artists in her DNA and she can pull any of them out at any time and sound like them. But really, Angelina is their own person and has her own style and vocal ability. So so mature at a young age. It's uncanny to witness this child and a mature voice coming out of that little body. She has raised millions of dollars for charity over the years and has performed for millions and millions of people including royalty all over the world. Now at 18 is coming out into mainstream pop music and just recently performed in Las Vegas and is on the way to becoming a superstar in the global mainstream music scene. I want to thank you for coming on and enjoying the fabulous journey that we all have of our beautiful barefoot princes as she is known. Her fans are known as angels and they are very, very protecttive. As you will see in a lot of the comments that you get. I would suggest another fabulous song one that will blow your mind even more when she was only 9 years old. Her cover of Screaming Jay Hawkens " I Put a s Spell on You " live in the studio in black and white. This is the most mind-blowing rendition you will ever see in your life performed by a 9-year-old and she is leading the band in that studio. Keep posting my friend. You only have 250 originals and covers to go in her complete wonderful catalog of music. Now at 18. Enjoy some of her older music. When you get a chance to you will be nothing but amazed and become a fan like we all have been. Keep posting and sending much love and thanks from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Hi Nick and welcome. Ten years old and she sang like that! Crazy, right? And just think ... she's 18 now so just imagine what she sounds like today! Enjoy exploring Angelina's YT rabbit hole; there's no place like it.
Angelina first sang at age 1 1/2 - and has been singing professionally since age 8 - she turned 18 on January 10th, 2024 - To catch up with her check out this 16-minute documentary Angelina Jordan 10 Years in the Making in which she tells her story in her own words: czcams.com/video/I_59PZXkusc/video.html
Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan. It's a great place to be!
Best rendition of this song ever !!!
Already an experienced performer at age 10 having sung in many countries, Angelina is now 18 and has just done her first Las Vegas show, you have a lot to find out about the barefoot princess, thought to be the best female vocalist by many including myself, iconic songs to react to are "i put a spell on you" age 9, bohemian rhapsody and "its a mans world" at 12 yrs old(the one with a full military orchestra outdoors) she also has about another 200 performances which will all blow you away, this girl is a phenomenon.
I see the Angels have filled you in on this Child Prodigy and now Our Barefoot Queen Jazz. A magnificent performance by our Barefoot Princess. Beautiful 😊♥👣
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you figure out why she performs barefoot!
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.
✒️👌😉...let's go to the Rabbit hole...happy birthday to Angelina's world 😂
Her first tv appearance was at Norway’s Got Talent when she was seven years old! She performed Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday! The video went viral! Recommend watching all performances with closed captions on! 10 year old girl on stage with a band and just kills this song! She knows how to work the camera watch as the camera goes around her and she makes the brief eye contact without missing a beat, there are seasoned performers who can’t do that. She then walks us up the scale and smash’s it with a Nordic Hammer! Smiles at you at the end, yep I did that! But in a humble way! She turned 18 in January and had her first concert in Las Vegas, Nevada! Performed on the same stage as Elvis Presley, she has covered numerous songs of his! Would recommend looking at her videos 7-9, 10-12, 13-15, and 16-18. She is affectionately known as the “Boss” by her bands! She arranges her cover songs and her originals! Angelina is known for her deep register, natural vibrato, and only doing one possibly two takes for a complete production! Well over 200 videos plus 12 original songs and has stated she has written 100 songs! She is an amazing vocalist and young lady! Always performs barefoot to remember the unfortunate children! There is a specific story behind this and she wrote a book about when she was nine years old making her the youngest published author in Norway! 🇳🇴🇺🇸
In addition to almost 200 covers where she wrote her own vocal arrangements- Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina performed an unreleased original song Princess of Ruins at her Las Vegas concerts - if and when that is officially released it will be her 13th original.
Angelina is the best talent on the planet. She is a gift from above. Enjoy the ride, and she is incredible
Best wishes
Congratulations. You arrived and opened the door to AJ’s music. If you want to explore the rabbit hole chronologically, you should start with her cover of “I who have nothing” by Tom Johns at age 6. Then go to her 4 songs on Norway Got Talent-2014 at age 7-8. After that the road is long. I’m not sure, but I think she has more than 200 videos on CZcams. It will take you some time to catch up. Enjoy the journey my friend.
This is the 1st time I've heard a reactor use the F... expletive in response to our Barefoot Angel, Angelina Jordan. I won't hold it against you, I've had the same response to many of her 100s of performances. Angelina brings astonishment, thrills, tears, and many other emotions to her listeners. Subscribed..
Three year stage veteran at this time. Everything she touches is better for it. Subscribed, genuine reaction thanks.
The queen of songs with 1000 voices ! The best femalesinger sure actually !!
She is all that you said, and so much more. At some point, when you're able to get past her amazing singing talents (yes, plural, as she has plenty of them) you will also find out about her true humility, her humaneness, her love for those less fortunate than she. Most of her fans don't just love her gorgeous voice, they love her, the person, and everything about her. She's 18 now, and nothing has changed (other than her voice being more mature and even more beautiful), but now she is an elegant, very classy, and all those other superlatives, singer, worthy of her own Las Vegas show, Elvis' old stomping grounds, the Westgate Casino and Resort, where she appeared several weeks ago. You will truly enjoy this rabbit hole. It's a deep one.
You will soon be getting a lot of information about Angelina from her angels. 😇 Welcome!
To get a better understanding of her, you might watch her sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” on AGT which she did at age 13, and “I Put A Spell On You”, black-and-white, she did at age 9
Thank you Nick just another angel, everything every one said and then some. AJ mini jazz queen at 7yrs old veteran professional at 10 yrs old and the cutest most adorable thing at any and every age. AJ every day essential experience. Prepare to be Angelinarised.💜👣💎
Angelina is the rare artist that only gets better the younger you go...
Just kidding, she gets better the older you go as well. My favorite song by her is always the last one I've listened to.
Here is a great playlist of her Las Vegas debut last month at age 18:
czcams.com/play/PLlNOkArlAUPgTkrS2eNqvLO3owC-kmHz7.html&si=xOfY2UgVD9r970zC
Awesome! Another 1st time reactor to Angelina, there is nothing better than seeing someone "new" to her become entranced by the incredible music that she produces. Looking forward to seeing more Angelina on your channel.
that cute little curtsy... just goes to show how refreshingly humble this huge talent is. you gotta love her!
Enjoy the ride you will not be disappointed regardless of what song you choose to listen to
So pleased you have discovered Angelina, you are in for a wonderful journey as you catch up on her 10 years of over 200 covers and over a dozen originals and she’s still only 18! Apart from her incredible talent you will learn so much about her personality from all of her fans whom she calls her angels!
Great reaction...welcome to a rabbit hole that never ends...she is a phenom!
She won Norway got telant at 8 uears old. Be cateful what ypu comment AJ. She has a solid fan club, the Angels!!!
I've been following Angelina for 7 years. She could sing the phonebook and blow your socks off you. She makes every song she covers, better, and hers!
❤Welcome to Angelina, and thank you!!
You have just discovered a true gem. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. I’m in for your amazing journey. You will receive many comments from her Angels (that’s what she calls her fans) about her background. Looking forward to this ride.
… Nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class!✨💎✨ Thank you ✨💎✨
You will be amazed by any song any age she perform. I saw her live in 2014 in NGT where she won. I noticed at once she was a special singer. Saw her live in 2022 and had best concert ever (better than Springsteen, Rolling Stones, Kiss etc.). Live she sings better than her videos. You are in for a treat here, enjoy. Love from a new Norwegian subscriber.
Hope you listen to her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent at 13, and her video of Suspicious Minds...both excellent...just love her voice...she has an old soul...and yes, I also get Amy Winehouse vibes
"Seek your happiness in the happiness of all.!!!" - Zoroaster [ Miss. Angelina Jordan "Magical Vocalist & Songwriter + Published Book Author" ]
Ich verfolge sie seit 4 Jahren, als ich sie auf AGT The Campions gefunden habe. Jetzt muss ich es mir jeden Tag anhören, es gehört zu meiner täglichen Routine. Für mich ist sie wie eine gesunde Droge, nach der mein Verstand schreit. Sie ist jetzt 18 und wird live immer besser, sie ist eine Superkraft. Es gibt über 200 Coversongs von ihr, die meist besser sind als das Original, sowie 13 Originale, die sie geschrieben hat, und es gibt immer noch über 100 Songs, die von ihr geschrieben wurden, die darauf warten, veröffentlicht zu werden, so dass wir uns noch auf eine Menge freuen können. Grüße aus Deutschland
Sorry Nick, not from her 10 years old till now, but from her 8th years you have listen and watch.
Then you’ll understand why she is the best jazzsinger of our time.😃👍🏻
I love to see people discover Angelina! She is the most phenomenal female singer on the planet right now, and currently only 18 years old. I think starting at the beginning is an excellent idea. And the beginning would be her audition for Norway's Got Talent at age 7, when she sang Gloomy Sunday. Make sure you play the full sequence with subtitles to get the best out of it. I have subscribed and look forward to your next AJ reaction.
OK, you got me. I signed up for your journey down this "rabbit hole". Many of the comments below will give you a lot of information about Angelina as well as provide suggestions for further reactions. You will have 200+ performances to choose from (of course, there are fan favorites) and you can't go "wrong" with any of them. This is going to be fun!
I’m in my 70’s and have followed music all my life. About five years ago, I discovered Angelina. I listen to her everyday. I’ve never felt that way about any other singer-not remotely close. Angelina is the best at any age in so many genres.
More Angelina, please.🙂
Angelina es música en estado puro ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to Angelina’s world…. !
I love seeing a new reactor to Angelina! You’re going to love her talent and personality! She’s beautiful inside and out! Great reaction!👍🏼🎼🤗💞
It’s gonna be really nice to have you as her reactor so excited for you and us. She truly is phenomenal. She’s now 18 years old. She’s already performed at two noble peace Occasions which is truly unheard of now at 18 just opened at Westgate Los Angeles were Elvis Presley performed and the best part of the whole thing is she Is incredibly humble and loves her fans and she’s well grounded. This is a big rabbit hole you’re going into her so very happy to have you thank you.❤. P.s. Angelina’s concert was sold out❤❤ Your timing is just right she’s just starting❤ ❤
Checkout all performances on Norway 🇳🇴 Got Talent, Angelina enters the competition at 7 years old and by the end of the show wins at 8 years old with a amazing performance of the song ( Summertime) !
Really nice reaction, you'll be amazed at her abilities, she's been so professional at such a young age, she's a great song writer also. Look forward to more reactions of Angelina 👍
For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 11 songs from age 7 to 17 (plus a recent feature about her): czcams.com/play/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3.html
1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral.
2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on CZcams, and many more on Facebook.
3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here.
4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier.
5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording.
6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family.
7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!"
8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records.
9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did.
10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was.
11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her recently released EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs.
If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough", and her even more recently released Christmas EP: czcams.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
She cites Billy Holiday as her biggest influence. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, and Sam Smith.
Her first time on TV was at NGT with the audition of Gloomy Sunday from Billie Holiday 7y old. She blows the audience and the judges out of their socks . After another 3 amazing Songs won the competition in a landslide. Manager from LA flew to Norway to see she's a real 7y old girl 😇 her family is a Strong Shield, shutdown all offers to make a normal childhood possible, but it's not normal to have over 200 Songs on YT. A difficult choice for you for your next reaction. Maybe start with Gloomy Sunday 🎁 a viral hit 🎯
Great first reaction. You will have many more similar reactions if you go down the rabbit hole.
Believe or not at 10 years old she was already a veteran.
Her introduction to the general public was at 7 years old on Norway’s Got Talent which she won, having turned 8 by the end of the competition.
She is currently 18 and just recently performed two shows in Las Vegas.
Originally from Norway, she and her family moved to Los Angeles in 2018 when Angelina was 12. She signed with Republic Records at age 14 and has yet to be fully promoted until Angelina and her family feel the time is right.
Nick, I see the "Angels" have landed, so I'll make it short. I discovered her 6 years ago & have been addicted to her voice since then. She is the best vocal artist I've ever seen & now at 18, is already a Living Legend, waiting to be discovered by the rest of the World. Liked & subed for your journey, I can tell she's got you hooked like the rest of us!
Greetings from Poland😀😀😀😀😀
Subscribed..everyone who reacts to our angel Angelina will has my subscription to the channel immy..thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👏👍
She only just turned 18. Actually I will second guess myself and ask you to react to her at 8 years old WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE the one where its a huge outdoor concert with her own backing singers then straight after 9 years old black and white in the studio with a jazz band ANGELINA I PUT A SPELL ON YOU AGE 9, then ANGELINA JORDAN at 10 IM HOLDING OUT FOR YOU leaked and fan made video 2 years later than her demo. This week I am reminding everybody to subscribe to Angelina Jordan. Her Record label look to see if there is growing interest with their investment so these metrics are important. Despite the growing numbers of new reactors her U tube subscriber numbers are not going up comparitively fast enough. After over 11 years of quality content it is only a fair acknowledgement. ❤ thank you.
I must have watched this 50 times and the ending gets me every, single time. So glad you are now here and will enter the rabbit hole. Love the Python snippets! George Harrison said the spirit of the Beatles continued in MP, and the spirit of the great singers like Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley and many, many others lives on in Angelina. She is the best singer I have ever heard. And I got caught by the algorithm that sent me one of her CZcams videos and I reluctantly watched and have not been the same since.
She's already 3 plus years into her public singing carear at this point. If you want to take it chronological you need to start with her performances on Norway's Got Talent which she auditioned for when she was 7 years old and won just after turning 8. Here's a link to the first one. czcams.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/video.html For some background information I'm going to include a bio put together by Andy Schnell. She refers to her fans as her angels and Andy and myself certainly count ourselves in that number. Here's the bio:
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 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. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial
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. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, 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”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children.
Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted.
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 and Mexico 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 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
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 and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career.
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 had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions.
Personally, Angelina is 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.
