Welcome to the Angelina Jordan journey. Many here will suggest which songs to react to next. I would just like to say that there is no right or wrong way to follow Angelina' road, but whichever way you go, she will surprise and amaze you around every bend. Thanks for a great reaction!
Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at age of 1.5 years and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina sings in 3 languages, designs her own clothes, and has written a very popular book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts)"Norway's youngest published author" a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's got talent when her audition for Billy Hollowday's Gloomy Sunday went viral and she got world press she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. In her younger years before age 13, she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle, a manager, who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform but even so from age 8 years to 12 years old or so, she has been all over the world (Mother and or her Grandmother never more than a breath away) Angelina has donated millions to environmental causes and children's causes around the world. Angelina has produced over 160 covers, and 6 originals and she makes all of them her own, all of which will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this"rabbit hole" not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own is just unbelievable. Angelina writes her own music and produces it Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, and what is Life to name a few. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, and her father is from Sweeden. The " world-known artist'" grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran, and her grandfather (recently deceased) is from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, and Angelina's song a million miles is about losing her grandfather and her original cut Shield is about the people that protected her and watched over her during her performances and travels. Although Angelina didn't win AGT champions 2020 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, and Save the world she's on her way, after school, to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate.
The remaining original members of Queen were so impressed with Angelina’s arrangement and performance of Freddy’s song that they gave Angelina a their permission to copy write her rendition of this iconic song.
She has about 170 videos on RU-vid, so if you decide to take the journey and "go down the rabbit hole" or "Jump on the Angelina train" you are in for the treat of a lifetime. I'm 67 and I have NEVER heard anyone that sings with so much emotion and feeling as this young lady. It's like she has lived every song she sings. She ALWAYS sings barefoot in public in remembrance of a young orphaned, homeless girl she met when she was 6 and in the Middle East. The girl was barefoot and her feet were scarred and Angelina gave the girl her own shoes (short version) I am going to post a list of songs below that "I" feel are must hear/see videos of Angelina. Use them or not as you wish, but they show her progression and various genres from 6 years old to her present age of 16. I am subscribing, and I look forward to many more reactions to her. 6 years old-first time in a studio singing "I Who Have Nothing": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OtPkxHf_r0M.html 7 years old audition for Norway's Got Talent singing "Gloomy Sunday" by Billie Holiday ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d3gSho9yf88.html 8 years old Finals of Norway's Got Talent singing "Summertime" (turn on closed captions) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zN4kAof1is0.html 8 years old on 'The View' singing "Fly Me To The Moon'': ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBGMQ9Kx9iI.html 9 years old black and white tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put A Spell On You": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html 10 years old leaked video of her demo of "I'm Still Holding Out For You": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv8mjCh5iiE.html 10 years old at "LIVE on The Stream Gir Tilbake" singing "Feeling Good": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p8kAL-sGJx8.html 10 years old (audio only) cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ma7sa_n7k-8.html 12 years old "How Great Thou Art": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WLAEy1LIHrc.html 12 years old at Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018 singing James Brown's "It's A Mans World": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html 12 years old (almost 13) "Tribute to Whitney Houston-I Have Nothing": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTcvvO6B3Io.html 13 years old on America's Got Talent singing her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qF0JV28vgLw.html 13 years old another Queen cover "The Show Must Go On": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6NJv02ot5jg.html 13 years old written for her by TRXD a Norwegian EDM (electronic dance music) duo, "Above The Water": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rpdHJJQAd9Y.html 14 years old, Original written about her grandfather that passed away, "Million Miles": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.html 15 years old Original about never giving up hope, "7th Heaven": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM8DzMRbiIc.html 15 years old, cover of Adele's "Easy On Me": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mpw5Q76hWWE.html 16 years old cover of "My Funny Valentine" more recent video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWiLOnHJYxg.html 16 years old, latest cover and tribute to Elvis, of "Suspicious Minds" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RTbKhkceR00.html
ANGELINA JORDAN now 16 years old - Signed with Republic Records only 14 years old. Her first album is at work with Republic Records for release. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. She started singing when she was only 1 1/2 years old!!!! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RU-vid and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RU-vid performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. The reason they still take it fairly slowly is that she is only 16 years old - This in agreement with Republic Record, the family, and Angelina herself. She is now working on her record. Angelina has already sung in many countries, and all important people in the music industry know who she is. They only need to press the button when the time is right for the next step. No point in "burning out" a 16 year old jewel of a singer and I think many people forget how young she really is since she is so mature for her age! Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RU-vid and almost 2,5 billion on facebook. Angelina, the young legend with the diamond vocals. Many consider her the best and most versatile young female vocalist in the world! Give credit to Angelina Jordan by subscribing to her official RU-vid Channel!!!
Angelina's world is magical welcome, there are videos from when she was 6 years old until now she is 16. own covers and songs, do not stop seeing it and listening to it, you will not regret it. sdos 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 thank you.
Thank you, Mello, for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! It won’t be long before you will be inundated with other comments here that will give you excellent information about Angelina, her prodigious talent and her huge humanitarian heart. We all know your main purpose is to react to the performers (and you do it very well) but, let me just say, the more reactions you do to her, the more you will see your subscriptions, likes, views and comments go through the roof. Just know that Angelina’s millions of fans around the world are very, VERY loyal and will follow you to the ends of the Earth for as long as you continue to react to her!
Her performances are akin to the Wright Brothers's first airplane being a F18 fighter or Henry Ford's first automobile being a Tesla. Out of nowhere she springs into the world consciousness and none of us will ever look back (except to listen to all the songs prior to this one). An absolutely awesome reaction. Thank you, Mello.
Very nice reaction and review. You've just opened a door that you never knew existed. Welcome to the world of Angelina and her fans ... it's a lovely place that will fill your heart with joy.
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sony & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded my her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rs language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru RU-vid of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. Since winning NGT she has sung for celebrities and heads of state and some of the biggest venues all over the world. The industry is well aware of Angelina's immense talent and her family were inundated by offers from the biggest promoters in the world including Disney. All turned down by Angelina and her family. They have protected her while she finishes school. She has sung mostly for charities raising millions for children and climate change as well as a few festivals and occasionally some huge venues like opening for Norah Jones in Korea in front of about 40 thousand. Angelina finally signed with Republic Records a couple of years ago and has since released her 1st two original performances with 'Million Miles' and '7th Heaven' released at 14 & 15 respectively. The family waited till she had contractual control of her Artistic Vision. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. I don't know if you will dive deep into this girl or not but you will be missing out on one of the most Iconic rises to stardom since Elvis or Michael Jackson both of whom she has covered many times. If you do I will follow to experience it with you. Again, Welcome from The Land of Vikings, home of The Kensington Runestone, and the largest population of Norwegian Heritage in America, Mid-Minnesota. ♥👣👸🏻

Brought tears to my eyes I think she sung it better than Freddie and I know almost ever word to 80% of Queen's songs I love them so much. In fact I hated Vanilla Ice so much for Ice Ice Baby because I kept thinking I was about to hear Under Pressure. But man this girl has real talent not auto tune or synthetic anything.
Subscribed, in hopes for more Angelina Jordan Reactions.... I love her, I ain't going to lie. *Thank goodness my fiance loves her as much as me... She's getting a Angelina Tattoo even. lol*
Angelina started singing when she was one and half, and won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. I've listened to her every day for over two and half years now. She is 16 today and signed with Republic Records. She is the most impressive singer I've ever heard. Here she is getting the Golden Buzzer for the performance you just watched: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D7SE6c1Htds.htmlm17s If you want to hear what she sounds like today, here is her latest release, Suspicious Minds: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RTbKhkceR00.html
I’ve seen this 100 times and I still get chills. She’s a legend. You go girl. I’m sure many will tell you her history. Love her. Her newest video on utube is a cover of Elvis superstition. She has held her ground. Not a victim of the recording companies. Yes she has signed but will finish her education first. She also speaks 5 languages.
Mello, I came back again to your video because I enjoyed your reaction so, so much. And, like listening to an Angelina song for the second time, your reaction was even better the second time around.
She is just amazing! The kids that are on AGT always seem to blow me away. I wish they would do a spin off show on just the kids lol they are better than the adults.
Mello, after repeating, what 9Ballr had to say, he is also trustworthy, I forgot something. In late summer of 2014 Angelina Jordan Astar was declared "THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF NORWAY" by the people, the government and the royal family. This was confirmed by a few Norwegians, when I asked about it. Every musician in Scandinavia felt honored to work with her. A experienced military band conductor asked through a rehearsal the 11 year old for advise. I think that shows how respected AJ is.
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 (150+ 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. 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!
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of Angelina's masterful reinterpretation & performance of Queen's epic song. To better understand her influencers at a young age, please consider reacting to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - &/or to truly appreciate her raw talent you must watch her black & white performance of I Put A Spell On You (which she also arranged) - at age 9. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan. Btw - IMHO she is the best female vocalist that I've ever listened to in my lifetime (& I'm 72:)
Fab reaction mello. I have just subscribed and look forward to seeing you react to others Angelina Jordans material.this is only the beginning for you... I am a bit jealous as you have so many great moments ahead. Love from Scotland.
Yeah, She's something else isn't she? Heidi gave her the Golden Buzzer. Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan Astar and Believe The world will soon be hers. Congratulations! You just discovered the best Vocal Artist on the Planet! IMO This opinion is quickly being reinforced as her career is finally starting to I believe explode. I'm surprised there are still many who know nothing about her but again I think that is going to change.If you want to hear music listen to anyone. If you want to feel it listen to Angelina. You have a lot of catching up to do if you decide to follow this girl and it would be a mistake in my opinion not to. Not just a great artist but an even greater Human Being! Hang on. Her angels will soon fill you in on her incredible journey & accomplishments When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norways Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent. Her cover of 'When You Believe' by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carie. Watch the studio version first if you haven't seen it. One of her Best! Never one to show off this simple beautiful rendition shows her mindset in approaching her music. Nothing theatrical, just soft Velvet perfection! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uAlVzI8-5hQ.html Also if you loved Amy Winehouse, Check out one of my favorites 'Valerie' with her having fun with her sister Juliet on Venice Beach. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sqmJLkgk2Ik.html Perfect again! After that I'ld use Rusty Schackelford's Chronological playlist and jump around to those you are familiar with. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.html You can't go wrong with anyone of them. And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBGMQ9Kx9iI.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old!
Brilliant review! Love your wording: "If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel it, listen to Angelina." Exactly... and does she ever make you feel it! Thanks for sharing.
Great reaction ! One of the few best singers I ever heard in my life. Her sincerity, soul, tone, and musical intelligence is unrivalled. If you like, please react to "Suspicious Mind", her latest cover from Elvis Presley, she is 16 now.
Congrats Mello, you have just discovered the most accomplished child vocalist of all time, Angelina Jordan. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for my all time favorite musical artist. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on 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 considered a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and has sung a song in Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. Angelina plays the piano and guitar and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on 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. A 9 years old, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a 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. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon 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 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. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina has concerts scheduled in Norway on July 1, 7 and 10. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.
A great resource! Thank you. And I'm glad you got one detail mostly right that almost everyone gets wrong. She was 7 when recording "I Who Have Nothing," or perhaps has just turned 8. It was somewhere during the NGT timeline. That other recording in the same studio was done even later. How do I know? The teeth don't lie. Of the two front teeth, the left has barely erupted at her NGT audition. Look at 1.18 in the "I Who.." recording, the left is over halfway grown in. So there's no way she was 6 during the other song done in this studio. Same dental proof. Both front teeth fully grown in, so definitely 8. (Not listing even the title, YT sometimes drops Comments that make a lot of recommendations. Those bots are vicious!) That age 6 error occurred when the song first appeared and is now ineradicably embedded into the internet. A tiny quibble. I think that recording studio was at the after-school program she went to, not her actual school. Or was it off-site completely? I haven't seen the location identified elsewhere , but then I haven't followed the details as deeply as some.
Also, her studio recording of "Hurt" actually was done when 6 or an early 7. She has almost all her baby teeth. The right front tooth was apparently the first to drop out and the first to grow in.
Just as a side note - The remaining members of Queen liked Angelina's version so much they allowed her to copyright her version and it is available on several music streaming services - In fact, if you want see how she performs the song now at age 16, check out a live concert performance from just last week on her 2022 Norway Summer Concert Tour: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TqMqyAi-bsc.html
Ohhhh! Pentatonix has covered this as well and is WELL worth a listen. If you like this you might want to check out Austin Brown, Tim Foust, Geoff Castelluccii, Pentatonix, Home Free, and VoicePlay. All amazing vocalists and even some vocal percussion that will blow your mind.
Mello, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" What a wonderful reaction. Mello, I'm sure when you play this for yourself you will begin to cry during the song. And Mello, when you find out what a beautiful person she is, humble, kind, caring and loving she will knock you for a loop. I am so happy for you that you have discovered her. Believe it or not, she hasn't been officially marketed to the world yet (family decision). They want her to finish her education and have some kind of a life as a teenage girl before she commits herself to her career full time. Although there is well over a million people who follow her and feel her love in their hearts, there are so many people who haven't discovered her, yet. She's doing a 2022 summer Concert tour right now in Norway (her home) and an album is due to come out very shortly. When that day arrives where she is formally introduced to the world and those same people who have no idea who she is, they will react as you did when they hear her sing her version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Won't that be a glorious day for them! Mello, join all of us on her journey. I'll leave you with this for now, you will find out she is much, much more than a singer. You will understand. Your heart will explain it to you like only a heart can.
I'm an artist so I get it. She doesn't need to be marked and she's already discovered. Her power shows within the fans she already has and she doesn't need a record label, marketing etc to confirm this. She's an absolute star!
Great reaction! There's actually a special reason why she performs barefoot and it will tug at your heart! One of the Angels (what Angelina's fans call themselves) down below will tell you the exact story of how this came to be and why she still does it now at the age of 16. This is why we call her The Barefoot Princess. A child prodigy that fell in love with jazz music at such an early age thanks to her grandmother playing jazz records when she was young. She has a lot of songs, covers and originals to go through, so you'll have a fun journey down this rabbit hole! I would recommend for your next song by her is called I Put A Spell on You by Screamin Jay Hawkins. She was 9 when she did this and, well, you might have to pick your , jaw off the floor! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html When she did this performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen actually saw her performance and tweeted the next day, "Wow, what a rendition!" Such high praise from a legendary group!
A note on her age: She auditioned for Norway's Got Talent when 7, the video went viral. She turned 8 by the time she won it. The natural talent is overwhelmingly evident. Her voice is rich and textured at 13 for Bohemian Rhapsody, and promises even more to come - which you can hear in a recent clip of her singing the beginning of it very recently - acapella! You'll get a lot of recommendations for "I Who Have Nothing." She's *8* when singing it; many people will tell you she's 6, but that's an error that got imbedded in "internet facts" and won't go away. Her growing-in-teeth don't lie! Anyway, for a reactor like you that's not the best song, wait awhile to do it. I implore you, trust me. A great choice to proceed to instead is "Feeling Good" at 10, the version at Gir Tilbake (somewhere in Norway). The power is there! Enough to knock you over. Also the range. She started going to an after school music program when quite young, that helped develop the control she has over her voice. You noted her ability to use runs in just the right way, not stuck in randomly to show off. The Bohemian Rhapsody you just heard is *her arrangement.* That's the deep down relationship Angelina has with music. Finally, a suggestion I make often: When reacting to a song in a talent contest, as soon as the song ends, pause and give us your raw immediate reaction. Then listen to the judges.
Correction: The frequently recommended song at "age 6" is "I Put a Spell On You." She's 8 in that studio recording, *both* front teeth are fully grow in, same as her finals at Norway's Got Talent at 8. "I Who Have Nothing" was recorded before that, but after her NGT debut. The internet is full of errors, but the teeth don't lie!
Hello Mello. Absolutely awesome reaction! This is my first time seeing your channel and I have subscribed. I was just checking your channel info and I see that you just started like 1,5 month ago. Based on this reaction alone, I know for a fact that you have a future in the reactions business. I'm looking very much forward to seeing more reactions to Angelina from you. I know this may sound cliché, but it really isn't. I think you should consider this your lucky day. Getting on board the Angelina train at just the right time, though you may wanna hurry up if you wanna catch up with her stuff before the train leaves the station for real for real. She has roughly 170 performances out on her socials, mostly covers, spanning 8 different genres, but also 5 originals. Angelina is 16 years old, as of January 10th, and as it happens, she is just finishing her work on her upcoming album, her first since she signed with Republic Records in 2020 at the age of 14. Angelina is Republic Records' highest priority new artist. As per the agreement with her family, they haven't promoted her at all. Her family has always wanted to allow her to finish school and have an as normal childhood as possible. Like I told you, she is now 16 and has just graduated from high school. Let's see if this is the time she and her family think the time is right. We will get a lot of answers with that album. Angelina now lives in LA, and recently came back to Norway for a few concerts and performances. I'll be attending one of them, on July 10th and I just can't wait 🙂 I am Norwegian, just like Angelina, and I have been following her since she won Norway's Got Talent in 2014. I'm telling you, there is no greater artist than her out there right now. She is the complete package. And no, I'm not biased.. LOL React to her some more, and we will talk again. I see that you have got a few suggestions on which performances you should react to already, so I won't. Not at this stage 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥
I recommend "summertime" from Norways got talent and "still holding out for you" from when she was like 10 or 11. Get ready to get your mind BLOWN! New sub here! ❤
... Oh - and another 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 😃 ) Thanks a billion and all the best Andreas 😎
Fantastic reaction and you like Covers, she has 165 or more and 5 Originals. She is 16 now and just released "Suspicious Minds" and reinvents that song as she did this one. Check it out and see where her vocals are right now, rhen dwell to the beginning when she was 7, God Bless!

The only thing bigger than her music is her heart. How is it possible? I have come to the conclusion "Because it is Angelina"

My dear , why don't you try her Suspicious Mind cover.the original of this song is the King of Rockand Roll Elvis Presley.by the way thanks a lot for your reaction to Angelina's cover of BR
Simon is salty...he never smiles during her performance! AGT demands that winning singers sign exclusive contracts; Angelina and her family made it plain early on that she was gonna sign with anyone but Simon! This is why it took her so long to be featured on the American version of the show, despite winning top honors on Norway's Got Talent at age seven. Angelina wants to decide when and where she performs; Simon's contracts would have robbed her of any creative control.
Wow! I wouldn’t sign with him either😂 To be quite honest, she doesn’t need to sign with anyone if she has the fan base that she has. The days of needing labels are over. All you need is the people
What an adventure is ahead of you! Next, do bookends: React to her first audition for Norway's got talent, "Gloomy Sunday" - yes, she takes on Billie Holiday! At 7! Then her best recent work, "7th Heaven," music & lyrics by herself, sung when 16. Listen to the "Official Studio Version," it's pure Angelina. The music video isn't as good for reacting.
Correction, "7th Heaven" was done shortly after her 15th birthday. Look for the "Official Studio Performance." It and the music video are on her YT channel, Angelina Jordan Official. Easy to mix up.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6 Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. 'Between Two Hearts Why Angelina sings barefoot interview. Reads from her diary. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cCLDY0CSZ8.html
She is great too bad the industry got to her. I feel bad for Billie Eilish too. Request you hear twenty-one pilots The Judge please no video for this one but I think that you are going to have a fun time with their catalog everything off the blurry face album especially Message Man made me cry happy/sad tears❤️
You do realise that Queen were so impressed with this version that they gave her permission to copyright? It’s available for download on the usual sites..I think I’d trust their judgment over some small minded, mentally ill fool.
There is a story behind her not wearing shoes. I don't want to quote as I'm unsure of the exact circumstances. She gave her shoes to another child who really needed them. Now she performs barefoot most of the time. Please check it out so you know the whole story.
Dear, Andy is allways trustworthy. Angelina Jordan Astar sings since age 1,5. Since age 3 or 4 she practices 6 days a week for six hours. AJ has a deeper voice than usual and a IQ that is very high. FACT. I met kids like her, so I should know. She was brought up in a family that values manners. Today the little girl is a statuesque woman of 16 year, 6,1 ft and a beauty, that Heidy Klum found intriguing. You Stay safe and sound. German Greetings.
