From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹 1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records. 3. AJ began singing at 18 months. Her grandmother was a jazz/blues fan and played that genre of music for AJ. She fell in love with it very early on and has even arranged most if not all that she sings from age 8. What an incredible talent. 4. Currently in 2022 she is in her mid-teenage years, stands 6 foot tall and still performs barefoot. The backstory of her encounter with the homeless girl she met while she traveled with her family through Iran at age 6 includes the weather damaged bare feet of the child she gave her own shoes to. 5. The reason she performs barefoot is to bring awareness to her public of the children worldwide who can't afford shoes of their own. She has raised millions of dollars for clothing including shoes for those unfortunate children. 💕 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother). 7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since my age of 7.
That was my first experience with the the barefoot princess. I was so moved by it I became an instant fan of hers. There really isn't anything she can't sing with heart and soul...
Welcome to the world of Angelina ! I would suggest you listen to her Norway's Got Talent in 2014 especially "Summertime " ! She has been singing since she was 2 and has a jazz influenced background ! Her rendition of "I put a spell on you" black and white studio version at 9 yrs old will blow your socks off ! She has well over 100 covers on RU-vid and she manages to make each one her very own ! She has just released 2 original songs "Million Miles and 7th Heaven " live in the studio that are phenomenal ! Thank you for your wonderful comments and keep posting Angelina ! You will find out she has a huge loyal fan base ! We call her our barefoot princess and we love her dearly ! Thanks again 🤗👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🤗👍
Thank you for your great first reaction to Angelina. Oh, my friend, you are in for the ride of your life! 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! That’s what RU-vid is looking for from you. 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!
Great reaction ! Angelina is the best and most versatile singer of her generation. Over 150 covers to pick from, and 8 originals (that she herself has written). We are all addicted to her voice.
The biggest mistake you have ever made is not being aware of Angelina for so long. You’ve missed the opportunity to hear her 130+ covers and 5 originals to date.
My friend, welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan. And you will find out her extraordinary voice with the magical tones is matched by her wonderful persona. She touches people's hearts when she sings "for us" because her goal is to float the love in her heart into ours with the hope it will inspire us to become better people, kinder, more caring, more loving, to join her in her mission to make the world a better place to live for all the people of the world, particularly for those who have never experienced true happiness in their lives. WHAT?! I know, it's incredible and her fans ("Angels") around the world will be inundating you with all kinds of data about her and her music. Your life is about to change (in a beautiful way). When you listened to her sing did you get goose bumps? Did you tear up and feel the urge to cry? Did you find it difficult to string words together to make complete sentences during and right after her performance? Those are reactions from your heart trying to tell your brain what is happening to you! I look forward to more reactions to this one of a kind artist from you. Please read the comments. You will get a good feel about how everyone is touched by her and what she means to us. For sure, we love her very deeply.
You said you were ready to be impressed. Are you impressed now? Since you’re new to Angelina, I can make it simple for you. Angelina is the best singer you’ve ever heard. She covers R&B, jazz, soul, pop, ballads, and she just kills anything bluesy. She covers many artists, paying homage to them in her covers, but you get pure Angelina. As in Bohemian Rhapsody, she doesn’t try to outdo Freddie Mercury, but reinterprets the song so completely that comparisons with the original aren’t the issue. Queen immediately texted their approval, by the way. How good is she? Listen to anything from her over-100 videos. From age 7 when she will melt you with her covers of Billie Holiday to her next performance on AGT where she mesmerized the judges and audience again with Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road. You’ll see both her incredible vocal abilities and you’ll also see, once more, the best interpreter of lyrics singing today. That’s a lot for you to absorb or believe, but just start listening. If you’re still ready to be impressed, Angelina will do that every time.
Thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan. You certainly got this review right. It will still take a number of videos to fully appreciate this "Barefoot Angel." Yes, she performs barefoot. (touching back story about that) This performance of Bohemia Rhapsody is truly a masterpiece, and she did the arrangement, as well. Survivors of the band Queen twittered their appreciation of Angelina's performance and gave her copyright to this version of the song. If you continue reacting to Angelina, it will become an addiction. One that I think you will be glad to have. You will receive extensive background and recommendations for more Angelina reactions. Often the next video after this one that reactors watch is Angelina's take on, "I Put A Spell On You." She does a homage to the song's creator Screaming Jay Hawkins (1956). Her performance is at age 9 years and 2 months. It is important to view the Black and White (B&W) version. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html A couple of things you may wish to consider is to include the link to the original video. I'm sure all performers that you react to would appreciate that. Also, you may get more than one comment about the F-bombs. I appreciate that when something is too good for words, one can emote - WTF. Angelina is very much a class act. No half-dressed dance numbers. She simply stands and delivers, and does she ever deliver. And, she is still a kind and loving child. There is an appropriateness factor you may wish to consider for future Angelina reactions. Great job. Looking forward to many more Angelina reactions from you.
WP, asking our reactor to consider using appropriate language was a nice thing to do and it was beautifully done by you. I recently listened to a new reactor to Angelina and her speech was overloaded with salty comments. But, we need to give these people a chance. Remember, they are in a state of shock when they first hear her and and all kinds of under the table phrases blurt out of their mouths. Then, I saw her during a "streaming video", or session (whatever they call it) and, OMG, she spoke like a drunkin' sailor! Well, here's the ending to this story. I saw her again and she was reacting to another Angelina song. I said to myself, oh oh, I wonder if she took a lot of people's suggestions to clean up her act. And, btw, maybe she thought about it without any encouragement from anyone else. Anyway, she went through the entire video never uttering anything that could be considered offensive. She got it. And, good for her. I'll bet Mr. Bend The Curve will come around, too.
Angelina is 15 today (born Jan 10,2006). She got signed last November to Republic Records. She released 2 singles since then: "Million miles" & "7th heaven". Unbelievable vocal versatility in her sound. Unbeatable by any female singer dead or alive as to her low vocal range (How great thou art), sings all types of music genres except Hip Hop or Opera. Everytime you listen to one of her covers, you'll get a different vibe. You mentioned Ella & Cher. At times she's got the Adele vibe, the Amy Winhouse vibe, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Nora Jones but the fact is that she has mostly the Angelina Jordan vibe. Looking forward to more Angelina Jordan reactions.
Thank you for your genuine reaction. Here is an introduction to Angelina for you and your viewers who might not be familiar with her. Angelina is Norwegian, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Her father is Swedish, her mother is Norwegian from a Japanese father and Iranian Mother Mery Zamani who is a poet and a painter and was a child prodigy in her own rights. She started singing at the age of one and a half when she fell in love with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. A year later she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and showed lot of interest in artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong. Angelina pestered her mother to enter her in “Simons Show” as she called it from the age of 3. Her mother relented and entered her in Norway Got Talent at the age of 7 where she auditioned with Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She went ahead to win the the big prize at the finals where she received 46% of the votes while the remaining 9 finalists combined received 54%. Angelina said she likes singing because she wants to bring joy and love to the whole world. One of her dreams from a very young age was to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She accomplished that at the age of 8 singing Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. After winning NGT, she was flooded with offers from major music labels as well as Disney but they were all turned down by her and her family in order for her to continue her education and to protect her artistic integrity. Her uncle/manager in an interview last year he talked about music labels top executives who would fly to Norway on private jets with huge contracts offers but would leave mad and frustrated because they never expected being turned down. Angelina is fluent in Norwegian as well as in English. She also speaks some Swedish which is very close to Norwegian and probably learned it from her father. She also speaks Farsi which she learned from her grandmother as well as some Japanese that she picked up from her grandfather as well as her mom and uncle who lived for a period of time in Japan. She actually performed a Japanese song at a concert in Japan. Most of her performances after NGT were for charitable children organizations where she helped to raise millions. At the age of 6 and while travelling in another country with her family, she came across a young orphaned shoeless girl who was weighing people on a bathroom scale for some coins in order to support herself and her siblings. After chatting with her for a while and without prompting from her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. She recorded that incident in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind herself and us about the many needy children around the world. At the age of 9 she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. Proceeds from that book are donated to children charities. Angelina Jordan has about 140 songs in her repertoire. Late last year she signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Her versatility is unmatched. She will wow and surprise you all the time. 15 years old today who is an excellent role model for today’s youth and her best is yet to come. Thank you for reading and I subscribed
Angelina Jordan has broken the talent meter,in full musical flight she owned the audience and judges.She has a gift,and she is a gift to us all.Enjoyed very much your genuine shock and awe.
Just scrolling through the comments. As you can plainly see, Angelina's fans, her Angels, are vocal, loyal and somewhat intense, and rightly so. Angelina is an amazing vocalist that can move you to tears or bring a smile to your face. Add her to the mix of artists you cover, and your subscriptions will increase dramatically. Enjoy,
Angelina does things that ought not be possible routinely! 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 (135+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library. 2 things: An unspoken goal of reactions is that the artist would watch the reaction. Given that (and that Angelina is 13yo), how about cleaning up the language a bit? Also please put a link to the original video in the description so the artist can more easily get direct views. It is the respectful and ethical thing to do. Thanks.
Beautiful version!! Out of all the Pentatonix you've done, I am surprised you've never done their version as well.. Both of these are the best I've heard!
Great reaction! Freddie was railing against death, Angelina was calmly accepting it. Such an emotional rendition! Angelina is my favourite singer of all time, almost everything she sings is food for the soul. Her singing is a balm on my grief.
Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest price from the legendary Queen. Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". ✌😎✌💯 *AJ* 💯🎙
Great reaction. Hope you do more reactions on her and be amazed. Greetings from Norway and yes i voted for her to win in NGT. She got 46% of all votes in the final!
Thank you so much for this wonderful reaction! I have been following her since 2014 when she was just a little girl, and I continue to find her to be more amazing with each song she sings. On an unrelated note, I love your bookshelves. They are completely different from anything I've seen. A lot of the reactors sit in front of their books, but theirs are not sideways. I love it. That alone is worth the subscription.
Thank you for reacting to the diamond vocals - The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is a young living legend. No need to hurry, I'm sure Angelina has good people around her. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 600 Million Views on RU-vid and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via RU-vid. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years I know that we will see great things from Angelina. If you need to identify who she sound like, I can tell you that she has 1000 different voices to choose from, depending on the song choice and type .. It's Angelina.
Wait till you hear her other performances! Or should I say "Witness" How often are you moved by a performance like this? Then ask yourself after 20 or 30 others, how in the hell does she keep doing these once in a lifetime events? Any great performer would love to have one, and she has more then you can count! That's why she's the "Next Level Event" because "She is"!
Angelina has sung around the world. She is 15 now and late last year she was signed to Republic Records and she has 5 releases since she has been there, 2 originals and 3 covers. There are over 130 videos of Angelina to explore on you Tube.
She is known for winning Norway Got Talent at I believe 7 years old! She embodies Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse in her tone. You need to check out her other stuff, but start with Norway Got Talent in order of the performances!!!! WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ANGELINA!
Brilliant reaction. There’s a lot of excellent performances for you to discover. I suggest you start with her Norway’s Got Talent performances. Enjoy the ride 😉🎶👣
Angelina has done amazing cover songs for these artists, so far: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 4 , James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson....
You are correct that there a lot of singing shows, however, almost all of them have age limits (usually 16-29), so AGT and it's international counterparts, are the only shows for younger singers, or those who are older to showcase their talents. We would have to wait years for talent like Angelina Jordan to appear and we would never get to see someone like 52 year old contestant Storm Large (her real birth name) due to her age. Thanks to AGT, we have enjoyed talent like Grace VanderWaal, Courtney Hadwin, Emanne Beasha, Angelina Jordan and others over recent years.
I enjoyed your reaction of Angelina’s performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. You have just gone down the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. And what a fantastic journey this will be. I suggest you go back to her performance of “Summertime” in Norway’s Got Talent. Also, her performance of “Feeling Good” at age 10 is phenomenal. Look forward to more AJ reactions. Thanks.
Just suscribed because of Angelina. She’s a music prodigy. The singer of the 1000 voices. She’s amazing. Hope you’ll continue reacting to her. Waiting for more!!
Definitely "Behind the Curve" on this one as the rest of the world is still awaiting a paved road. No Yellow Brick Road will suffice this girl's journey, only streets paved with gold are in order as all those she covers shall lay the golden bars before her bare feet.
She has sung at bigger events than this, she opened for Nora Jones to 40,000 thousands in Korea because Nora asked her to help her, she opened for Quincy Jones at the O2 arena for his 85th birthday party because he asked to do it.
JUST SUBSCRIBED, Sorry late to the party. Loved this review. To do a Freddy song takes courage and Angelina (AJ) has it in spades. Fearless. Child prodigy, devoured jazz from 3 years old, which gives her the ability to interpret, arrange and deliver a song with unmatched vocal skill. You spoke of Aretha and Cher. AJ performed a tribute to Aretha with her interpretation of "Natural Woman" at 12 and Cher's "Bang Bang" while on Norway's Got Talent at 8. Yes 8, she was 7 with her initial audition song of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday". On NGT she also did Billie's "I'm A Fool To Want You" and ended with the Ella/Armstrong version of "Summertime". On this AGT, The Champions version of BR, she arranged it herself as she has done since NGT of Summertime and there is a video of her showing the trumpet player how she wants him to play it. At 8! There are several videos where she is explaining to the band how she wants it played esp. in regards to tempo and volume as young as 8. By the time she was 13 AJ had already performed worldwide on stage many times including world leaders, Quincy Jones' 85th birthday that he asked her to perform and many children's charities which she cares about deeply. Wrote a book at 9 about why she always performs on stage barefoot to become the youngest published author in Norway's history. I hope you continue with Angelina as you will never be disappointed and it will attract AJ's huge loyal following. Thank you for an extraordinary, detailed reaction and commentary. Cheers from Florida
A little bit funny of you saying angelica Jordan 🤣 You will know the name Angelina Jordan Astar for sure in the future because she is crazy good ❤ This performance is the most mesmerizing performance I have seen ❤
I've noticed that there tend to be two types of reactions to Angelina. The first recognize her virtuosity, but the second type just love what she does. You seem to be in that latter group, so I'd say start with any of Angelina's other performances. She has already created enough to keep you happy for years, and she's just getting started.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word 😊 *LOVED YOUR REACTION* 😊
Congrats! You just stumbled upon the greatest jazz/pop/soul singer of our time. And she is a super nice, humble and caring person as well. I'm sure you'll soon learn from other commentators why she always performs barefooted - an amazing story. Please do more Angelina Jordan reactions in the future. I suggest her rendition of "Every time we say good-bye" recorded on a rooftop in Oslo for a TV-station.
Hi Behind The Curve (can't find you real name ;-) ), even if you already got a lot of comments with good information allow me sending you my "standard firsties comment" - may be you can find some new information in it ;-) So, here it is (a wee bit personalized): Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this interesting and honest reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... There is a big pile of over 130 videos on RU-vid with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ).

And here is a video where it is explained (with English subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A-OKLslO74Y.html and here an Interview in the Norwegian TV (with English subtitles) from 2015 after she has published her book about the story why she is barefoot when performing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cCLDY0CSZ8.html In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield"). So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next... All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ru-vid.com/show-UC55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA), Andy Schnell, ... And a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her lastchanges for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7kGPhpvqtOc.html or another version of it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-orNpH6iyokI.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bb9ag8bch_U.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-82cdnAUvsw8.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas PS: There are so many links in the description... but I miss a link to Angelina Jordan, the video you reacted to or/and her channels :'-(... Don't you think it would be a nice touch, if you use her video on your channel to return the favor and post her links in the description? :-D You find all the links in my comment above :-)
Angelina is now 15 and putting out some of her own work. Following AGT she signed with republic records. Queen loved Her version Of bohemian rhapsody that they called her and gave her their blessing. Check out her audition for Norway's got talent singing gloomy Sunday. Then there's her version of screaming J. Hawkins I put a spell on you at age 9. Then there's It's a man's world And her Whitney Houston tribute I have nothing which will leave you on the floor. Million miles is an original. I much much prefer the official lyric video. But you can't go wrong with any of them just throw a dart and you'll have a diamond. You ended the video right before Heidi gave her The golden buzzer. Which most of the reactors I have seen have done. Great reaction
If you care to investigate this girl further, I would suggest you start with her NGT audition of Gloomy Sunday', by Billie Holiday. After that there are over 100 videos of her since then and her 'covers' are almost always the best you've ever heard. I think you'll find it well worth your while, both for your musical delight and your subscriber numbers :)
She is awesome, and a sweet kid, from what I've seen on social media. Unfortunately, she did not win AGT. But you should definitely check out her other stuff.
Welcome to AJ's rabbit hole. She is called by the "Angels" the "barefoot princess". I think she the reincarnation of "Jessica Rabbit":) You check out her cover of "I'd rather be blind". If you want to see her in beast mode check out the black and white of her cover of "I put a spell on you" when she was 9. Warning brace yourself!!
You've now seen ohne of the next big names in music. She's been mesmerizing audiences all the way back since she won in Norway. Her control, her consistency and her versatility are already totally crazy.
Look more closely at her recordings. You have so much more to be surprised at by this amazing, rising star. And she will surprise you!!! I promise. Follow her from her first performances to today. Her story will surprise and astound you. From why she always appears barefoot on stage to what she wants to do in the future.
Not that it matters, but actually she won Norway's Got Talent at eight years old, but the first audition was at age 7 with an amazing rendition of Billy Holliday's Gloomy Sunday. I, among many of Angie's followers, need to listen to at least one of her performances every day. There is a calming and healing effect from her voice that is not available anywhere else. In my 81 years, no other singer has affected me more than Angelina. I have followed her career for 3 or 4 years and heard every rendition, some in the dozens, and do not tire of them. And she gets better every year! Most of her 135+ covers blow away the original artist. And, she has written 5 songs and 2 were written for her. Enjoy.
@@robertvirnig638 She had to say 7 in order for her to be 13 at the time of the performance when it was taped. It wasn't aired until the next year when she was 14.
Angelina was 1 1/2 years old, when she told her mother she will only sing Jazz and not any kiddy songs. She is born to sing Jazz. Watch her Norway got Talent auditions. Take the ones witrh the engl. subtitles to understand the judges. And an other must is the black and white version of "I put a spell on you" when she was nine. A pure master piece.
Steady on! At 1 1/2 yo she is recorded in her crib singing a bit of Whitney, perfectly in tune may I add; but she was 3 when she told her mum she wanted to sing for Simon. And started practising being on stage and performing a song for her family every week. A good thing her grandmother was a prodigy and the family is awesome ❤️👣🎶
Welcome to your Angelina journey. Too much to say about her. Fab! Watch all her singing in Norway’s Got Talent, follow that with her ( nine year old) version of “I Put aSpell On You,” the black & white production. You’ll be amazed. She now 15. Has written several songs and done over a hundred covers.
@Behind: Angelina did not win because, as I understand it, she refused to sign with Simon's company as is required by the finalists. That said, I suggest you go back to Norway's Got Talent and start with "Gloomy Sunday," her first audition there. If you are impressed here, wow do you have an exciting road stretching before you with her. You have no idea. :-)
hank As you understand it, you're wrong. This is from an interview Uncle Michael did with Music Norway: America Got Talent had always been interested in bringing Angelina to the show, but with their normal contract, artists are being locked into a label, management, and other things for many years. Astar says that it didn’t matter if you get exposure or not, it was out of question to give away that right. “Some time passed and they again contacted me, asking if she wanted to sing on their show. I convinced them to give me a contract where Angelina is free from any deal if she performs."
That was the proverbial tip of the iceberg my friend. You can go anywhere in her repertoire of nearly 140 songs and be just as blown away, but maybe the best place to begin is to go back to her winning performance of "Summertime" on Norway's Got Talent in 2014. This is just the performance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-443pBSpx5B4.html
Great Reaction , but could you leave a link to Angelina so that she gets the credit she deserves when you do a reaction to her, many thanks, keep up the good work"
"Shouldn't even be possible"? I dare say you'll be saying (or at least thinking) that many times as you continue to react to Angelina (which I assume you will be doing). That exact phrase was uttered almost 2½ years ago by a popular reacter (smylyface) about one of Angelina's _Norway's Got Talent_ (Norske Talenter) performances from 2014. In that case, she was referring to Angelina's ability to sing a cappella (which she did in the second round), but it could just as easily have been about "the heart and the soul" that she 'had in her voice", as you were talking about here. Singing with feeling is a particular specialty of hers, and she's been doing it from the very beginning - not only in her first performances "in the public eye", on NGT when she was 7 and 8 (as others have pointed out, she turned 8 during the competition), but even (IMHO) in her _very first_ singing performance caught on video, at 1½. (The clip is on RU-vid. You'll see it eventually, if you pay attention to the comments. But I would recommend you wait until after you've seen her NGT performances to seek it out.) Anyway… I suspect you'll probably react to other things of hers before you go back to her NGT days, but please do plan on doing that eventually. I've put together a playlist on my channel that can help choose which videos you should use for those reactions. (It should be easy to find, so I won't bother linking to it. But be sure to read the playlist description, otherwise it won't make much sense, as there are 10 videos for only 4 performances. :) Looking forward to more AJ reactions…
I really enjoyed your reaction video! And if you would have stopped your first listening to this performance, like so many others did, just to comment on it, i'd had left in a split second xD Thank you for sharing this moment with us! :)
you missed her golden buzzer! Love your reaction. Her voice is crazy good eh ... I would love to see you react to some of her Norway Got Talent performances where it all began for her. Summertime is the best one imo from that time because it really highlights her amazing jazz style
In terms of publicity AGT might be the biggest, but she’s done the O2 arena in London for Quincey Jones 85th birthday, she’s covered the Nobel Prize, she’s done a 40,000 stadium in Korea, and I think she’s sung for the Obamas too. She’s also fronted the Norwegian Forces Wind Band, and at least a couple of orchestras. AGT, a walk in the park.
Great reaction, Absolutely love your excitement over our "Barefoot Princess of Jazz" she will blow your mind no matter what genre she takes on. Angelina is an Atomic bomb of emotional content, no one but a heartless person can resist her voice. Looking forward to more of your reactions to the 'New Barefoot Queen of Song' as well as her awesome jazz. She is now 15 (as of 1/10/2021 ) years old and stands over 6 feet tall. After turning down every other major record producer and even Disney World, She has just recently been signed with Republic Records and she has just released her first self written single with republic Records entitled "Million Miles " , this is the link to that one ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhKRh5ZtuWk.html ) plus a new release this month April of '7 th Heaven" link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM8DzMRbiIc.html She is a rare special God sent gift to the world!!! , Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young singer , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs is very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background: (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VJjG68Dfr-8.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions (not including the one she just released from Republic Records) and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lQtUbVKb0vs.html 2. Oslo,, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6PsVu4iNmX0.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bv0r77KN7RA.html 4. Above the water,, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SC3F0bKKk3U.html 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bo3mhxPM-uA.html (plus some new ones not listed there ) Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina has been well known all over the world except in America not so much up until her AGT Champions mini concert. When performed her own arrangements of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Yellow brick Road". She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 15 years as of Jan. 10 ,2021. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist. Enjoy this 9th wonder of the musical world in song..
AJ has great talent and so young..it's impressive. I'm curious for your reaction to Forestella's Bohemian Rhapsody so badly. They are a crossover quartet from Korea (not k-pop tho) sang it with a grand respect for Queen I feel.
WARNING: This girl is addictive and you will get HOOKED! Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". And now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”.
Christmas Show AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
Omg you're the first person to say what I always complain about to my sister. I hate singers stealing the win from people who have unique talents. They should stick to xfactor. But I do love Angelina so she's forgiven lol
No longer the skeptic? Now that that is out of the way, let’s talk confidence. Between NGT and AGT, Angelina has been busy. As in a couple of world tours, concerts everywhere including in S. Korea to a crowd of 40,000 folks, an album, donating her Norway GT money and concert money to poor children and environmental issues, and I could go on for way too long. So, singing to Simon and the crowd is not something that made her anxious. In her words, she was “excited” . Welcome to access to 120+ videos to react to. Thanks for doing this.
If you think about it, how many other singer's get signed to a high caliber recording company like REPUBLIC RECORD? IM SHUR there's some kind of future for a dance group! NA!!!! THERE ISN'T!!! GO ANGELINA JORDAN!!!!!
Queen like this performance so much they put it on their website they relaxed wish copyright so Angelina could make the song her own how many 13 year olds have you ever seen do that LOL nice reaction thank you
You've been Smitten by the Barefoot Princess. She was recorded at home singing at 18 months of age, great Studio video at 6 yrs of age and well winning at 8 started at 7 in Norways Got Talent. Go to her Beginning and Travel on a Path of Mind Blowing Songs and Covers she has done. She is a child prodigy speaks 9 languages and yes she Won Norways Got talent. She sings Everybody and anybody and blows the originals away. Have a Blast oh Barefoot in all Performances due to a 6yr old that had no shoes. Angelina vowed to not wear shoes until all the children in the World Has Shoes. Oh yes Angelina gave the 6yr old her shoes.
Lisa Speaks 9 languages???? LMAO!!!! I thought it was 14!.....And she didn't make that vow you suggest. Amazing how people who are ignorant just make stuff up.
Agt is not a talent show its a reality TV program . This was supposed to be AGT THE CHAMPIONS .AJ was invited because of her huge fan base world wide , she agreed to be on the show to increase her American fanbase . A tumbling act won . Voted on by 50 mystery super fans she has over 140 cover song to pick from ,and yes she is special
That is what and who she was at 13. But at 9, she was already a prodigy. You should view her rendition of the joker Jay Hawkins «I put a spell on you». Personal rendition she decided herself parts of the music and the lyrics. The band recognize her as "the boss". And she did simulate Hawkins voice. Choose the black and white video. Before, should have a look on Hawkins performance she did cover, http here below. And attach yourself on your chair not to fall down! At the beginning of the video, she paid an homage to Hawkins with his pic on a candel. Her cover does not go as far as holding a stick topped with a skull smoking a cigarette ... Well! She was 9!
Try I Put a Spel on You by Angelina Jordan ! And This is a man’s world and Feeling Good and Fly me to the Moon and Bang Bang and her original Millions milles in memory for her grand fader etc
