American RAP band FIRST time EVER hearing ANGELINA JORDAN Amazing seven year old sings Billy Holiday 

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 RU-vid. 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. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RU-vid 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 RU-vid 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 RU-vid. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RU-vid, 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". Angelina will be performing in Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023 - there are still some tickets available.

Yes! This was fun! By all means we need to see more of these boiz!

Yes she was six years old when she met the shoeless girl in the Middle East. She actually gave the little girl the boots off her feet! She wrote a book about this experience when she was 9 years old, “Heart to Heart” and became the youngest ever published author in Norway. She is truly an amazing person!

You should hear her message with her intro to Heal the World to the King of Norway, she is so amazing . Her version of Billie Jean is one I am sure you would love. Best wishes the UK

AJ is awesome, ya cant pick a bad song from her

She was a 7 yr old Diamond in the rough, today she is now a beautiful young 17 yrs old Diamond!

4:22 To vocalize the honey bee tones of Billy Holiday, yet still have the inhale sound of a child (listen close for that K sound when she breathes in) is really quite astonishing to me. I'm sure there are professional vocal coaches that could break down exactly what that is called and why. I'm listening with headphones on and caught the sound that my daughter sometimes makes when she's excited about something and is rapidly speaking and breathing in often. Maybe it was the nerves for her. I don't know. My ears caught that and thought it was dope!

You got most of the story correct :-) You missed the part where she gave her boots to that girl. If you want crash down in tears, you should watch her interview with Lindmo where she tells about this story and about the book she wrote. You'll be killed by her adorable cuteness. The interview before and after on this show are very nice to watch as well. This was Norway got Talent which she entered at 7 and won competing with adults. Thanks and keep it coming!

Her cover of Billy Jean is amazing

Perceptive new guys 😊 One knows who Billie Holiday is, one knows brass instruments, perceptive thoughts about the performance, she is right up their ally 😊

To introduce Angelina to your friends adds so much enjoyment to viewing your reactions. These two gents are prefect examples. Tell them for me I was very impressed. Thank you, all three for sharing.

Angelina is the impossible singer. There is no explanation for this kid at 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12… yo to sing like a 40 yo pro singer from another time! Her first hundred covers+5 originals are out of this world and will make history.

This was Angelina when she was on Norways got talent. Which she won.. This was one of the songs she auditioned with. Im not really into talent shows and that but i actually watched this when it aired on Tv2. And i been following her ever since. I wanna do a recommendation because you probably gonna do at least a couple of more Angelina reactions. I want to recommend Bohemian rhapsody because its so good but because you said the things about copyright and that i got another one. *Im still holding out for you*. This is a leaked song she recorded when she was 10 years old so no label or anything is gonna come and claim this. This song because its a leaked song not alot of people know about this. It really is a hidden gem. But alot of the Angelina Jordan fans (which are called Angels) that do know about this song says its their favourite song that shes done. And i agree. To be 10 years old and making a song like this is unbelievable. This is not a cover this is a demo she did when it was given to her from a artist called BabyFuzz. Since this was never released and BabyFuzz never heard anything from Angelina he recorded the song himself and made a music video to it. So both songs were released about the same time.. So close that i dont know who posted it first. Well the version Angelina did is a fan made video and not her releasing it but Angelina did record her version first. There is alot of controversy around this song and the comments on the fan made Angelina video is turned off. The reason it was never released is not 100 % confirmed i think but the rumors i heard is that her mother didn't want her to released it because of some suicidal lyrics at the end of the song. Im not gonna write a whole essay here but i really think you like this song. So many Angels (Angelina fans) cant be wrong. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv8mjCh5iiE.html ^ Link to the video to make it abit easier if you decide to do this..

Angelina is a gem. Glad you are showing her skills BP👍🦇

That was the start, the beginning of a musical journey for the people of the world to join her and it hasn't slowed down a bit (she is now 17). For the two guests: Guys, I don't know exactly what you do but if it's not in the reaction business start listening to more of Angelina. She has more than 170+ songs on you tube for you to enjoy. She has adapted well to her voice changes while she is growing up and you will soon realize she's not just good. You will find out she's near or at the top of the list for all time best performers. Guys, if you know the song 'Crazy' (Patsy Cline) it is an American classic song. Listen to Angelina's version of the song when she was 16 on tik tok.

Nice one! We could all take a lesson from her!❤

Nearly 10 yrs ago. Now, she is transitioning from an obvious child prodigy into an adult singer.

Actually, she visited with the girl (who earned money by weighing passersby on a bathroom scale) for over an hour. They talked about dreams and goals and at some point the barefoot girl noticed Angelina's (favorite) green sneakers. As they parted, Angelina gave them to here and vowed to always perform barefoot to make people aware of all the children in the world that live in poverty. A few years later, she wrote a book about this and became the youngest published author in Norway.

Thanks for introducing others to the miracle that is Angelina. An added note to your well-told story about the shoes: she gave her own, very fancy shoes to the girl. So presumably, Angelina walked away barefoot. She is still performing barefoot (but wearing shoes at other times), at 17-1/2. You might enjoy reacting to the other Norway's Got Talent performances she did.

This is Norway's Got Talent, Angelina's audition for the show and first time being on a competition show. She was actually constantly asking her mom if she could be on the show 1 to 2 years prior to this appearance! She has 3 more performances f you plan on continuing in watching her journey on this show. 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 be a superstar, 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!

Great reaction guys.🤗🎼👍🏼

English is her third language😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰

Just subscribed for our beautiful barefoot Princess, Angelina.

I'm very Excited for you young fellas Angelina Jordan is now 17 years old and I can guarantee ya I believe in my heart you guys will love every video she does. She goes a step above all the covers she has done It's pretty insane. She's from Norway and she won. Norway's got talent At eight years old just keep diving in and you'll be amazed so glad you are following Angelina Jordan. Keep doing that. God bless y'all.

Would be nice if they also heard a more or most recent to see where she is now. I think she would pick up 2 more fans;)

Great reaction, God Bless!

Not wearing shoes for the children when performing is a wonderful gesture, but she has gone far beyond that she gave most of her prize money from winning NGT to children's charities and has written a book about that and gives that money to charities also she has raised more than 21million Eruo for children. When she wrote the book she was 9 making her the youngest published author in Norway. Another then that blows my mind is at 7 she already knew 3 languages, Norwegian, Farcie, English and a little Japanese, her mother is Persian and Japanese.

Here is a chronological playlist from ages 6 to 17, of Angelina's 191 videos including tiktok and Instagram. The first dozen or so are her originals and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically at age 6. ru-vid.com/group/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.

Angelina is 7 years old in this performance.

bro that thumbnail. PAUSE😂

She took the shoes off her feet and gave them to the girl.

when I was 7 years old, I sitting outside eating small rocks

I very much appreciate how you’re introducing other musicians to Angelina while you review new songs of hers yourself.

Another great reaction! Angelina is so unique!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Waiting for your next Angelina’s reaction!!

Gretting's of peace,I hope you will react and analyze Putri Ariani performance wen she received the Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell in American Good Talent (AGT) 2023 event,🙏🙏🙏.

It would be a shame to stop here.

Ok, this is a new rabbithole! You should listen to Summertime also from Norway’s got talent, and I put a spell on you (when she was 9) and also her vertion of Whitney Hustons I will always love you. Not to mention her performance in AGT Bohemian Rapsody when she was 13. And many more, this rabbithole is deep. There is also one more norwegian artist you should react to: Aurora!

The youngest judge Omer Bhatti a couple of years after this when he was in the USA visiting the Jacksons, he introduced Michael's mother to AJ 's singing.

❤ Love Angelina

Hi Boyz, thank's a billion for this Angelina Jordan reaction! ...and a little plea: It would help Angelina - and I think you would like to help her - if you put the link to her video you reacted to and may be also to her web-site, YT channels,... in the description. Some other reactors even ask the people to watch the original video too and like it too for to support Angelina - you know: Because of the algorythm... 😉 (all the links to her web sites, YT-channels and the web site of Republic Records with her introduction you find in my first comment 😃 ) ...I promise to hit the like button if you add these or at least the link to the video you reacted to and let me know :)))) Thanks a billion and all the best Andreas 😎

Angelina and Dimash? You're about to skyrocket to 200k, Dude. 🤟😁

You have to listen to all of her stuff. She's amazing

For a clearer understanding of Angelina's bare feet in her own words. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cCLDY0CSZ8.html. I know no more than most but I think Angelina's family must be amazing. Her grandmother, a child prodigy in her own right has been clearly inspirational and helpful, always. Angelina's heart is way big and way before her age would indicate and that doesn't happen by accident others have helped. Her beautiful mother, her shield, is never far away and seems to always handle situations to benefit the child or young adult Angelina as a person, not Angelina's future as a world wide vocal star. Throw in her love of her grandfathers and attention of her dedicated uncle/ manager, she is genetically blessed from many fronts, is my take.

My daughter plays 7 instruments expertly and another 42 with some skill. She didn't get it from me

The orphan girl had scarred feet and Angelina talked to her in Farsi....she speaks multiple languages. She actually gave yhe girl the shoes dhe was wearing. Her favourite sea green ankle boots.

First time on TV, singing in her 3rd language with no shoes on at 7 years old and she has absolutely NO nerves ,,

That was the first of four songs she did in that competition. You've got to listen to them with your buds.

Good afternoon BP

♥♥♥♥♥

The American desire to “make children adults” is scary. This young girl will likely fall apart in her twenties. You’ve done it to so many talented kids. The kids beauty pageant ps are a prime example! Let her have her childhood, there’s plenty of time to have a career when she’s more emotionally developed. I really worry for her. 😢

♥👣👸🏻

Great reaction thank you 😃 wild bill

Amy Winehouse vibe 😅😅😅😅 Noooopeeee....😢 ALL BILLIE HOLLIDAY

You have the shoe thing half right. First when she and the other girl had to part ways the other girl said, "you will probably go back to your country and forget we even met." To which Angelina said, "to remember you I will perform barefoot to show you and every one else that I remember you and my promise to you. I will also be reminding people around the world that there are many children that have no shoes at all, so I will also perform barefoot for that reason". Angelina is basically Scandinavian on her father's side and Persian and Japanese on her mom's side. There are probably small amounts of other groups, but the biggest parts are those three.

That was a great reaction from all 3 of you guys...nice to see you sharing her music with friends BP as well as understanding how exquisite this little girls talent is. If you go listen to Billy Holiday's version of this song from 1941 you would be blown away at what Angelina just did here. BTW, thank you BP for reading comments and remembering most of the details of the reason she performs barefoot....the important part you left out was that Angelina gave the little girl the shoes off her feet. Cheers. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Good call on the bravado

🤩👣🧡🧡🙌❣️

The young legend.

English is not her first language.

Whatch er sing a put a spell on you at 9

And so a New Star was born !!!

Her, Dimash, and So Hyang are THE tippy top of "extra special" singers. Not sure if you've seen her "later" stuff yet, but to see how shes developed in her recent/teen years is crazy. DEFINITELY do her new cover of "My Funny Valentine"..just straight MASTERY

Yes, it was good.😁

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

If you want the whole story on her being shoeless you need to see her interview with Anne Litmo on Norwegian television. You will need to turn on cc to get the English translation.

Here her sing I’m a fool to want you Angelina Jordan

enjoyed!
