I keep losing track of everything during that last part of this (Time feels like it stops and I forget what I'm doing), It's amazing catching the tiniest vibrations and stuff she's doing with each re-listen =,D Thank you Denning!
Thank you H S. Some positive stuff came out of the world being forced to stay still a little while... Have you caught up on all of her stuff over the course of 2 years?
If you like to have music when you need to cry, Angelina is your girl. She's done it to me several times and she's still doing it now. She's always enchanting.😎
Thank you Mike! I can't wait to hear more of her soon. I've been replaying this one and still can't get over the tiny intentional and perfect vibrations she's doing in each note.
They were mesmerized from the first flawless note that came out Anita! =D She is unbelievably gifted. Grown adults with decades of training have a hard time coming close to this
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan. This coming from a guy that is 74 and has experienced the best vocalists in the world, but none have captured that soft spot like Angelina Jordan does each and every time.
Thank you Larry! I keep replaying this just to hear the minor vibrations and stuff she's doing with each note, holding highs and perfect runs... it's insane... if she could only do a fraction of this stuff she would still be unbelievably good....
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'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Thank you Õle! We noticed her grandmother in the audience during the editing =) I also found out she's a poet, musician and artist (Mery). I'm so glad her family was there for this! Simon was very fortunately to be there for this performance....
Great reaction to a great performance. Thanks for the sharing. We either empathize or sympathize, but we're here for you, as well. Angelina is a soul balm who can promote healing and bring calm to a troubled world (individually or globally). I await more Angelina reactions.
Thank you Gary! We are really enjoying the start to this year and can't wait to get to some more Angelina :) My wife wants to get 2 animes going at a time and music (I'm thinking it's staying Aurora, Angelina and another) I want to still explore random genres and world music from tiny places this year too =D We hope to get through Angelina's whole library =,D Tonight the toddler has almost outlasted us staying awake though =\
The remaining members of Queen were so impressed that they allowed Angelina to copyright her version and it has been available on several streaming services since where she gets the royalties - She also performs this version often at public events and concerts.
Grauph, keep this little treasure in your memory, it will always brighten your days, as Angelina does for us. Thank you for letting us into your soul. Be safe and sound as always, be as healthy as you can be. God bless you and your family. Elmar from Germany.
Thank you again Elmar! My wife is pretty used to the random emotion dump and I'm glad I have them now. There are some doctors here that really want to go hard with pills.. it took a lot of work and some medical marijuana to fix the damage :) There were actually a few years of my life where I still felt everything inside but it couldn't come out to the surface and it was as if my tear ducts were dried up, antidepressants and other prescriptions made me feel like a numbed out zombie. And the doctor just kept wanting to give me more and more pills. I'm glad meds help some people get through, but not for me anymore O.o I'm trying to stay healthy enough to see what my toddler ends up doing with his life =,D
New subscriber! Yes, Angelina is so good that I started a channel devoted to promoting her. Love seeing the emotional impact that had on you. She is just out of this world!
Thank you BigAngieFan! I'm excited to hear everything she's gifted us with as we get the chance to. I'm really enjoying hearing music in this format... especially re-listening so much for editing and then getting to go see other people hear it for the first time after... I went and subbed to add yours to the list of post reaction viewing =D
@@grauph1up If you like to watch other reactors after you have heard a song, I could recommend a dozen or a channel that creates good reactor compilations.
@@grauph1up Unfortunately for the compilation, YT has removed the videos. Here are a few reactors: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9VuIWL_AR7E.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f0oIHzpvv1Y.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vG32ByPfusk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ypQMQ9cPtWc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XbKopENbPzk.html
Thank you Jonathan. It's taken a long time to learn to let it out and let the emotion pass... Nerdmuma's pretty used to me having moments =,D It's good to feel things again too... meds had me actually numb for many years
@@grauph1up Please continue with Angelina and Aurora as well. Both these wonderful Norwegian artists are a healing force. Both have literally changed my life in a very good way.
You two are going to love Angelina. I have listened to this young lady for over 6 years. I'm 68 and in my life I have never heard anyone that sings with as much feeling and emotion as Angelina. Even after hearing her sing a song hundreds of times, she can still pull tears from my eyes. She has about 200 videos on RU-vid, so your journey can be a long one if you want. Liked and subscribed in hopes of hearing more Angelina reactions. (Hers are the only ones I listen to)
Thank you Gary! We will definitely be listening to much more Angelina in our music exploration =) Tonight we are hoping to record a reaction to her Mount Everest cover =) Nerdmuma's gonna be busy editing again =D
You guys are going to love Angelina. I see some PTSD here from your days in the service. I love your openness about that and it looks like you're addressing it honestly and head on. Angelina is the best therapy you will find for addressing a lot of that. Her soothing, deep and powerful voice is known to change lives. On a personal scale and even a global scale. I hear stories about that often in the comments and even some reactors. Her voice is addicting. It would be wise to keep some tissues hand. Angelina has been known to bring grown men to tears. Please do more. We will be here to experience it with you. For many of us this is a way to recall our own experience when we first discovered this 8th wonder of the world. Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
Thank you Õle! Oh lee! Oh yeah it comes in waves when it wants but I've slowly learned to let the feelings pass after I address them. Years back that would have hung with me for hours and possibly taken me into dark places mentally. I finally started to understand "Amor Fati", the whole ride is one big package deal =D the 'good' and 'bad' Thank you again! Minnesota is WAY too much snow for me =D
What wonderful comments, Ole. I try to read as many comments as I can, and I find that so many people express my exact feelings about Angelina so I typically don’t respond because I feel I’m just echoing others thoughts. In the beginning, I thought that it was just coincidence, but I’ve come to believe that we humans have so very much in common. And even if we don’t all agree all of the time, when Angelina sings……it seems that we are mostly all on the same page in our own way. I especially appreciated your comments directed to the reactor here. It’s a nice feeling to hear other’s connect to the deep emotional level that we can find ourselves residing in when this little miracle child sings to us. She has changed me forever.
I know you have started listening to her already but let me take this opportunity to formally, "Welcome you to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" I see you have already found out quite a bit about her and that's nice because besides being a once in a lifetime singer and an artistic genius she is a kind, caring and loving human being and her 'connection' to her fans (her 'angels') is extraordinary. It takes a while for your head to figure out what is going on when she sings but not for your heart. Your heart, within seconds, opened it's door and let her love come right in. And, once there, she will never leave you. The journey you will be taking with her will leave an impact on you which will affect you so positively you will notice changes taking place in your daily activities. People around you will notice the difference. They don't know exactly what happened but something changed and they like what they see. In a word, everyone discovering Angelina will experience forms of love and the whole process is 'remarkable'.
Thank you Robert! I've learned so much in the last day or two about her and every fact I learn makes her seem that much more amazing and unreal. She has such a natural gift. I keep losing track of time during the last part of this song with each listen, she just takes me away somewhere where time doesn't mean anything.
This hole entire reaction had me in tears guys. I wish you guys would have seen her getting the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum and Angelina's reaction to it. This performance was my first seeing her I was so moved by her ability to break through my walls and show my vulnerability. She is beautiful in every sense of the word for just as a 6yr old humanitarian to a brilliant artist with the ability to touch one's heart to the extraordinary future one can look back and be proud of.
thank you so much, the specific video we watched did not have the golden buzzer part, also sadly those moments can often cause copyright issues. she really does have a gorgeous soul
Great reaction. I too am a Viet Nam Vet. I appreciate you opening up about your time in the middle east. The Barefoot Princess Rabbit hole is a very deep but pleasant rabbit hole to go down. There is one more rabbit hole for you two to go down. Most of us angels are in this rabbit hole also. This would be 3 sisters from Mexico called The Warning. They are mostly hard rock and learned how to be a band by playing the Video Game called Rock Band. Angelina is by far the best Singer ever out there. The Warning is the Best hard rock band out there..
Thank you Larry! That's awesome learning through gaming. Gaming taught me how to frame and overcome certain tasks. My only goal this year was to find some new music and figure it out on the way =,D We will have to check out The Warning as well! It's awesome to know we have almost 200 more Angelina songs to hear =D
A good start to the reaction...very touching! Angelina has been a source of much enjoyment--her music, her adventures, her humanity! This AGT performance is something I never tire of...!
Thank you Philip! I feel so much more connected to her after learning that about her shoes. I can't believe her lung capacity still at 13... I'm excited to hear something really recent now.
Thank you Gary! Just one of these aspects in a grown adult would be unreal... to see all of this together not even taking into account her age is hard to process. Today I found out Angelina means messenger and it fits perfectly..
Thank you for this second beautiful reaction and for your sweet and painful testimony. This interpretation of her is absolutely memorable, for her incredible technique, for the ability she had to re-read such an iconic song in a more intimate way and for the intensity of her interpretation, at only 13 years old! This is a splendid example of Angelina's extraordinary and unique work, her extraordinary intelligence and musical sense, through which she absorbs and transforms into her interpretations of her the great songs she loves so much. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time.💛🧡❤
Thank you claudio! I honestly lost focus on the fact she's 13 by being too distracted from how perfect it was =,D I can't wait to hear something with from her "adult lungs" =,D Even beyond her genius level ability to understand difficult music .. the fact she could product the right sounds and have such wildly good breath control is crazy....
Thank you so very much for your service to our country. We Angelina angels have at least a dozen reactions to her each day to chose to watch or not. Sincerity from reactors means the most to me. You took the time to read the comments from your first reaction and then talked about what you learned. The story of the 4 year old girl in Afghanistan brought a tear to my eye and then to understand Angelina's empathy was heartwarming. Then you had a photo of Angelina with her grandma Mery. I subscribed to your channel right away. I have no doubt you will love each and every performance by Angelina, just as I did after I learned of her nearly 3 years ago. Simon is very much involved with all the "Got Talents" from countries around the world, so he had known Angelina since she was on Norway's Got Talent. Was the proper comment by him to say Angelina created a genius arrangement for one of the most beloved songs on Earth. This performance by Angelina is my favorite. How it is possible for a 13 year old to create such an arrangement and then stand on one of the biggest stages on Earth and sing to someone she admired so much and deliver a flawless performance? Beyond comprehension.
Thank you Andy! Haha yeah this channel is pretty rough but genuine =,D We are just learning a lot of this (editing and stuff)... all of last year was mostly just a hellish amount of exercise =,D I'm thinking she might be a conduit for spirits.... Like Freddie being approached in the afterlife to do another performance of this but it has to be original and performed from within the mouth of a 13 year old girl... I can't wait to hear something really recent just to see the actual lung capacity difference. She had already mastered the tiniest of fluctuations in these notes...
Hey Andy is there any song by Mery you would recommend? I saw she put out an album as well maybe multiple languages? I'm not sure. I could tell it's her artwork from the pictures.
@@grauph1up I think the music video for Angelina's original song "Shield" doesn't get reacted to very often and as with all of the music videos, is art at its highest level. Others are "Fly Me to the Moon", "When You're Smiling" and "Suspicious Minds"
Thank you Lars! If a fully grown woman who spent her whole life training and studying music had come out and delivered that performance I would still be in shock... to see it just be performed effortlessly at this age is crazy.
What a beautiful reaction video, thank you for being so open. You will soon learn that AJ's fans (angels) are very protective of her and for the most part very kind and mature people, I just can't wait.j to continue on this journey with you 2!
Thank you G G :) Thank you for being there with us! Sometimes talking through some stuff is rough (Hearing your words and not just your thoughts) but it's always better to let them through when they need out.
You have (in my opinion) discovered the best singer on the planet!. Her fans (the Angels) will support anybody who supports Angelina and welcome you with open arms. Angelina Jordan promotes love, caring and understanding and her fans reinforce those feelings. Enjoy your Angelina journey guys and great reaction.
Listening to Angelina is an addiction for me that I don’t intent to find a cure for. Her voice has a profound healing and therapeutic affect on me and others as well. She just turned seventeen years old on 1/10/2023. Her debut album with Republic Records is reported to be coming out later this year. Angelina will be graduating high school this year so I would think that she and the record company will wait until after Angelina graduates to release her album and to begin a world wide tour to promote the album and to formally introduce Angelina to the world. I can assure you that there are millions of Angelina’s fans all over the world that can’t wait for her album to come out. Once it does Angelina will undoubtedly achieve her dream of becoming a super star. In fact she will achieve mega star status.
Thank you again blaster! That world tour is going to be sold out everywhere and I'm sure she's going to have people following from venue to venue. I'm excited to hear what she's already gifted us. That debut album is going to set some crazy numbers when it comes out.... I saw her book is sold out.
@@grauph1up What Angelina already has going for her is an already established world wide legion of loving and adoring fans. She also will start her professional career with the most age diverse fan base in the industry. Given that far and wide age diversity, we can expect to see her album sales shatter records. There is also no doubt that her concerts will sell out fast.
Great reaction to our Barefoot Princess. We positively love her. Have been following her career for several years now and each time and everytime, she just captivates my heart and squeeze's it tighter and tighter. She has had me shed so many tears. But they were tears of happiness, and tears like a proud grandpa. Hope you enjoy your Angel journey as much as I have. You have also won me over as a subscriber.
you've been AJ'd 😁 AJ wants to be a superstar so she can share her love with the world. never lose your compassion for the children and you never be ashamed for it, they need all we can do for them, all we can give them ... money, time, love
Thanks for sharing that story from your past, Angelina tends to bring out the best in all of us. We just feel compelled to try and be a better human being. She inspires us, she inspires me at least! You two are good people, so i'm adding my subscription to the tally. Looking forward to more Angelina with you!
Angelina Jordan got several things with this performance: 1. Heidi Klum's golden buzzer, sending her to the finals, where she wowed again with Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." 2. Praise from the surviving members of Queen and they gave her the rights to her arrangement of the song. 3. Huge exposure to the North American continent and any other place this show reaches 4, Several months later (by then she had turned 14), she signed an incredible deal with Republic Records that focuses on her artistic vision and the family's desire that Angelina finish school. 5. An ongoing friendship with Heidi Klum. I'd be a dolt to ignore the PTSD displayed here. Afghanistan. My son did a tour there. He was often pulled into medical assistance, when the helicopters landed with the wounded. It is hard to put into words the change I saw in him after his return. I spent a year with my soul on knees begging for his safe return. And here you are, also. Returned. A woman who clearly loves and supports you does these reaction videos with you. It sounds like there is new life depending upon you now. PTSD is real and thank you for being real in front of us. Taking a journey to discover Angelina Jordan's talent and experience as much of her empathic sound as you can will only bless you. If you want an original song by Angelina Jordan I recommend two. "Million Miles" was written by Angelina in response to her maternal grandfather's death. She was very close to him, the same as her grandma. The style is ballad. The other is 7th Heaven, written later, during Covid shutdown is my understanding. It is very upbeat and like a pep-talk she gave herself and is sharing with us as well. The style is jazz/swing. She wants people to dance to it, and you can't help it---one dances in their seat. LOL! It is getting late and I should try to sleep. Grandma Ellen, out.
Thank you Grandma Ellen :) I'm looking forward to hearing Million Miles but I know it's going to be a painful one. As a parent I can't imagine how it must have been knowing your child was there. I hope time is healing the things he had to witness there, please remind him he's never alone. Thank you for the comment and for raising a soldier son Grandma Ellen :)
@@grauph1up , well, everyone cries with her Million Miles----it is cathartic more than painful. We all know loss. But you can gor for 7th Heaven first.
Thank you Ricky! I need to go try to find an upload that left the rest of the judges stuff on it. I don't think I've seen an audition be such a perfect full performance.
Talk about the arrangement... omg... she is making the song a ballad, a beautiful version thats grabs your soul and just holds on... the way she make the words sink it to your heart... if you are really listening you will hear it... it captivated me ❤️
With her performances, storytelling and her personality she has a way to tap into your emotions and make you feel it. Not all tears are bad and they can help you release penned up emotions and deal with past hurts. Listening to her makes me feel good, relaxed and forget about the world for a little while. Feel tired? Feel wiped out? Feel sad? Listen to her singing and up it goes :-) At times she stays close to the original and other times she totally remakes the song in her own imagination as is the case here. If you want to compare there two types: she totally remade Michael Jacksons Billie Jean into a jazzy version and she stayed much closer to the original with Heal the World. In each case she puts in things of her own unique talent and in each case it is still a tribute to the original artist.
Thank you Bart! Every time I see a new song mentioned that she's covered I just continue to be more and more amazed. This is going to be a wonderful journey...
What an awesome reaction and critique from you both, it was a pleasure. Hang in there and keep the faith that time will make things better for you Grauph. Thank you for your sacrifice to our country, I have so much respect for you, and you deserve all the praise that you have been getting here. Take good care, and your lovely sidekick too!
Thank you Newtron! she's been tolerating me for 8 years now =,D We hope to get better at the a/v stuff and all as time goes. This is a much different journey than last year. I'm grateful the past led me to where I am. I hope you're doing well where you are!
I admire you, Grauph, your courage, your strength, your humanity, and your willingness to let us see your vulnerability. I truly believe there are Angels here on earth, it's just that some are more visible than others. Angelina Jordan is one of those visible Angels...you can tell by the profound effect she has on people, including me. We Angels can't wait for you to continue your journey.
Thank you Bill! I kind of accepted death a long long time ago (November 1, 2003) the day I hugged my sons goodbye and deployed. everything from mid 2004 on has been sort of like a second chance at life with the catch being having seen the world as it is. I've struggled through a lot and talked about some of it as I did burpees last year. I told my wife when I die I don't want to be sealed up in some super coffin I want to go back to the ground juices as quick as possible and she really hated the term ground juices =,D It took me 'getting over myself' to finally expose the demons I had locked up to the world... it took me realizing it might help one person and that would make all of it worth it. Thank you again Bill!
Thank you Bill. It's weird... me and a few guys ended up taking a greyhound from AIT to Airborne back in 2000. We were still in uniform since it was a training post to training post thing. People were clapping and cheering and we had only just left 'school' we hadn't 'done' anything yet so it felt undeserved.... . I know people mean it when they thank us. One day I'm hoping my brain wont jump to the worst scenarios when I hear it out loud though. All of it was worth it to have 3 sons and be home now. If you're ever super bored it's like 25 minutes but I talked about 4 mortar attacks (The whole intent of me really starting up a YT was to hopefully help save one person/vet from themselves) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z9jSxzY4izY.html
Thank you Duncan! I'm glad her experiences impacted her life so positively. I hope both the angels that we encountered are living as best they can today. We are looking forward to a lot of Angelina this year :)
Here is a great example of how Angelina sounded like in the Summer of 2022 at age 16 - this video is part of a documentary about the 2022 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway - There is a short interview of Angelina in the beginning followed by her performing two of her original songs live in concert: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HKK66K5u1Fc.html
Keep going you two on Angelina's journey of joy and happiness ! I guarantee anyone of her 200 covers and originals will be fabulous ! There isn't a disappointment ever from this amazing young singer ! She is a humble, sincere, compassionate and loving soul ! She had my heart and soul for so many years ago with her cover of " I Put a Spell on You ! and I have loved watching her grow up into this beautifully talented young woman ! She is medicine to my soul and I love her dearly like she was my granddaughter ! I'm 71 and not a day goes by that I have not listened to her sing ! Congratulations and thank you so much for your continued support of our barefoot princess ! Enjoy the journey and we'll be watching ! 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thank you Ron! I'm still slowly absorbing all of this song... Each time I go back to listen it's so flawless I forget what I'm doing =,D When they pan to the girl in the audience with her mouth just agape that's how I feel still =,D
Such a great, wonderfull reaction guys, both to Angelina`s empathic story, and to her immense musical performance. This, to me, was rather unique as a reaction. So Thank You 🥲 I also totaly understand you`r connecting this performance to what Aurora has done to "Life On Mars". They are both so special in each their ways in the world of music. I will love to follow you around as you get to learn and enjoy ever more about them. I guess I think you by now should get into Angelina of today as your next, to see where she is by now, and then you may go back and find out more about her career up untill now. As you now know, she started out in public as she was still only seven. Her audition at "Norwegian Talents" should be a must for you to react to. Even her three other performances I think you might love. But first; maybe a glimps into her summerconsert last year will be a great update on her present level as a performer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BkvsnY7J510.html Angelina is singing Whitney Houston, which she also did already at 18 months "old" 😵💫 😉 This was her last song of her last consert (out of 3 + one TV show appearens) in Norway last summer. I hope you will enjoy the whole of this video, as she will even get a thanks and love from the consert hosts at the end. There is also an official MV on this song, if you`ll rather react to the very top-noch audio 👀🎧 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iX0g99jN26U.html
Thank you Jollyo! We still need to get Life on Mars edited but yeah we both grew up on Bowie and 'know' that song... to hear someone take something that's so solid in your mind from decades of hearing it and then recreating it totally new but keeping it the same somehow is incredible. I thought I knew this song well and I knew Freddie's pain through the lyrics but never thought I would hear it emotionally delivered to me like this. I can't wait to see what the original judges had to say too!
180 covers and 5 originals later, Angelina Jordan turned 17 on the 10th of January 2023. She will graduate from high school this spring and will then go on to her full-time professional career as a musician. She will drop her first album under Republic Records later this year, likely timed to her graduation. - Who is Angelina Jordan - Angelina is a Norwegian born child prodigy in music. She's a singer/ songwriter who began singing at 18 months old. At 2, she began teaching herself how to sing, focusing primarily on the jazz masters of decades gone by. These are artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Etta James. She's also influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and Adele, to name a few. She's also been said to be the girl of 1,000 voices. Yet even though we can hear the phrasing and style she puts in the songs, it's always Angelina that we hear. At 7 years old, she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. She was the last to audition. The judges had no idea who she was or what she could do. They saw a diminutive mussy haired, barefooted girl with her teeth still growing in. For her audition, she performed "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holiday. On TV-2, they've reported over 14 million views of this performance, making her a worldwide sensation. This does not take into account the many hundreds of reactors showing this audition to millions more. Needless to say, Angelina went on to win the 2014 season of NGT shortly after her 8th birthday. The family was bombarded with requests for performances, interviews, and record label offers. They turned down 90% of the requests, as they insisted that Angelina should enjoy a normal childhood. This largely kept her out of the attention of many. That didn't stop Angelina from performing at select engagements around the world, singing for Heads of State, and even Barack Obama. She's spent time and worked with musicians such as Quincy Jones and Alan Walker. She first appeared on American television, The View, at 8 years old. Angelina auditioned for America's Got Talent The Champions at 13 years old. She performed her own arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." This performance earned a congratulatory Tweet from Queen, and was followed up with by the band giving Angelina the rights to her version of their song. She made it just up to the final selection of the final 5 when she dropped from the competition. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough to be in the final 5, but it was because she refused to sign with an AGT affiliated label, should she win. She knew very well what production hungry labels could do to her music. She even turned down Disney. At 14, Angelina signed with Republic Records. Republic gave her complete artistic control as well as control over the performances she would make.
Thank you Christian! I'm really glad she's finishing school before her debut album... that speaks so much for her parents and guardians. I really want to dive further into Mery's art and poems as well now. We really have a full journey ahead with 180 covers and 5 originals already =)
There are many people who have trained for decades to come close to this skill... She is one of the people that prodigy is properly used to describe.. She performed this flawlessly not even taking into account any of the other stuff.. age, her own arrangement, the giant crowd... she delivered this flawlessly.... Thank you Andromeda!
Thank you Primordialsimilarity! I'm excited to get to them! Even just after recording when I can go and listen to that one song over and over again =,D
Angelina Jordan 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 (160+ 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. You won't regret it! She will carry you places you can hardly imagine. But sometimes a few tears is the price of admission.
Thank you Ken, oh I could tell within the first few notes of this flawless performance what she's capable of.. It's something beyond understanding though... she's making this look effortless and carries herself wonderfully. To hear her go from Screamin Jay to better than Whitney was incredible =,D I'm glad to be alive in a time when we can hear her whenever we feel like it... I can't wait to hear what she's gifted us with!
Thank you Ricky! She's going to be a regular listen and react for us for sure! We have a few to react to now just waiting for the little man to leave us with some time and energy after he finally sleeps =,D
Guys, I absolutely love watching and listening to you. Completely down to earth and I think everyone can identify with you in terms of all of us having vulnerabilities and difficulties in life at some point. I discovered Angelina over 4 years ago, being introduced to her video A Million Years Ago by Adele. That one is in your future for sure, and for me the emotion and passion that she conveyed at 12 years old was extraordinary. And I was hooked for life. Angelina has a way of making you feel like you have experienced everything she is thinking about even though she is only experienced a fraction of it at a young age. On her humanitarian side, you told the story so well from hers and also your experience. She is a very special individual and she is making a lot of lives including mine better. I hope she is granted the opportunity to sing for the world to bring love and peace as she had vowed to do when she was younger. As I know you admire and respect her, the reaction world is a better place when both the reactor channel and the artist channel get equal priority. To grow, I suggest you support both your channels by encouraging viewers to go to your subscription, and to watch, like, comment, and share the original videos, and subscribe to both your official channels. That boosts analytics for both of you. The additional benefit is that supporting the artist in this way also generates more fan loyalty And you are certainly on a good start with that. Thanks and peace and love.
Thank you Ron! Someone mentioned last video and I had to go back and re-add the original links. Hopefully after a while it will look like we know what we're doing on our end =,D This channel was originally mostly just me doing 50,000 burpees... joining the reaction part of youtube is a lot more to learn =,D I'm probably going to be looking deeper into other's formats and how they present stuff within the descriptions. Nerdmuma is slowly teaching me the editing aspect as she learned stuff. It's very fitting that Angelina's name means Messenger.
You both deserve every sub and more..I love your energies. You’re a good man sir..I genuinely think that listening to Angelina will help you through your healing journey..sending you a huge hug from England..and to the lady, your empathy brought a tear to my eyes. This was one of the most touching, moving reactions I’ve ever seen..just beautiful 🙏
Thank you Kevin! One day we will be over there so my wife can show me where she grew up in the rain =D Time is stopped during this performance, and the best summary of it is the girl they pan to the in the audience with her mouth wide open in still silence.
Great reaction guys 😊, u understand how special she is our Barefoot Angel 🥰 ,had to subscribe also 😊 Angelina are truly once in a life time singer / artist . Like u said in comments she's girl with the 1000 voices, since i re discoverd her just over 2 years ago , i never heard her sing the same song the same way twice ,her voice are pure magic 🥰 But one thing that stands out to me , is her incredible musicality arrangement's off songs she puts her spin on them ❤ You soon find out , if u continue down the Rabbit Hole . Have a good one, take care an stay safe . greetings from Norway ; ))
Thank you Tom! Norway dispatched 2 angels out into the world within the same lifetime and it's amazing! Every fact i learn about Angelina makes her more and more wonderful. A 13 year old speaking 4 languages is incredible.... before you add in music arrangements, vocal talent, stage presence =,D She's unreal...
Thank you for sharing, meant a lot hearing that from you. Angelina brings out the best in all of us by giving us her best. Big heart, special human and my favorite singer. Thumbs up you two, see you on the next one.
Thank you Julio! I'm fortunate to have found someone who understands why my mind drifts out sometimes. Hopefully within the next couple of days we can have something recorded and up. We wanted to listen to a few things tonight but the kid read our minds and outlasted nerdmuma and here I am at 1am trying to respond to everyone lol. =,D I hope you're having a good day or night wherever you are!
After four years we still listen everyday at some point. The youtube best of compilations for AJ just makes the day better. And watching the newbies discover I Put a Spell on You , seeing faces getting gobsmacked and confusion of what tha?cross thier faces is priceless. Enjoy your rabbit hole.
Thank you Oso! I keep forgetting how old she is when I close my eyes, but I keep closing my eyes to see the notes better =,D I'm still not even really processing her age given the flawless talent and sound coming out. I'm looking forward to her NGT stuff.
It's amazing that Norway has sent out such incredible genius talent at such a really early age. Just to have 2 prodigies singing in the world in the same generation is amazing. Hailing from the same Country is unreal.
Thank you for sharing and for your raw and honest reaction. I give new Angie reactors a welcome pack, please read. She chooses all her own songs & does all her own arrangements ever since she was very young, even when she did Screaming Jay Hawkins “I put a spell on you” at barely 9, even at 7 & 8 on NGT (Norway’s Got Talent). On AGT-C Angie made her outfit from silkscreen patterns of her grandma's art work when she was 13 back in Norway. She makes several of her other outfits for shows & concerts too. She also paints great, plays 5 instruments & speaks & sings 4+ languages, English being her 3rd. Angie turned 16 on 1-10-22. Angie is a very kind, giving, loving, respectful, humble & a big hearted Christian girl. She always sings barefoot when performing & she wrote a book about it at 9 called “Between Two Worlds” & she was/is the youngest to be published in Norway. (Angie has always been the driving force behind her dreams) (Why does Angie performs barefoot. Please watch. Angelina gives a short little interview explaining why she performs barefoot. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cCLDY0CSZ8.html) at interview she sings (Song: "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wGjqXxQbFgA.html Angie's (9) here. ) Angie has arranged over 160 covers & written 5 songs & has had 2 written for her also & she’s mastered over 10 genre’s already. One of her nicknames is “The barefoot princess of a 1000 voices with a Mona Lisa smile” & the "Queen of jazz". Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. Angie sings like an instrumentalist, combinded with narrative music, another reason she’s so especially rare & great. Her musicality & music intelligence have always been of the charts, (Prodigy)
Thank you MyTime! just to be that young and have 4 languages would be super impressive, even without her amazing talent and skill. I just found tonight the book is no longer in stock on her site =,D It's going to be a great experience of music to discover!
@@grauph1up Maybe try Amazon or others. Please react to the 2 links above from her interview and her singing at it also when she was 9. You'll see how truly humble she is and please have a box of tissues for the both of you. God bless 🙏❤
Thank you My time :) It's looking like that might be one of my longer book quests haha. I'm guessing anyone that got hold of that book isn't going to let it go anytime soon.
What I learned the other day is, Angelina does not give out food to the homeless on Christmas, she does it year raound. As you surely know, there are a lot of veterans among this people. I imagine, that today Angelina is safe on the streets, because some homeless angels watch over her. That is just my fantasy, but I hope it is true. She honors the legacy of her japanese Grandfather, who did the same and more in Oslo. And YES, today Angelina cleared that in a interview, she is part japanese. You my dear people enjoy her. Here is the link to her at 8 years old singing "What a difference a day makes" one mont after winning NGT 2014. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZSfgCIGd7k4.html Yours truly, Elmar from Germany
The remaining original members of Queen were so impressed with Angelina’s arrangement and version of Freddy’s song that they gave her their permission to copy write her rendition.
Thank you Michael! we plan to listen to a lot more of her as the toddler permits us =,D She is beyond words incredible, more than just her vocal skill, music understanding, humanity..all of it.. she's wonderful.
Hey you two! Thank you for your raw reactions to AJ. And very seriously, thank you for your service! 🤗✨Obsession can be a struggle at times, but I've never regretted obsessing to quality music. Angelina will continue to move you - it's ok and truly understood. Welcome to the Angels family! Next, I recommend watching some (or all of) Angelina's Norway's Got Talent performances (there are many videos out there - find ones with subtitles so you can read what the judges say). Peace!
Thank you Avila! I want to hear NGT really soon for sure, especially with the judges reactions! A few good obsessions to bide the time till we go is a great way to live :) I'm excited to hear the rest of her stuff, I'm really enjoying the time between to reflect on single songs like this now too. Thank you again Avila!
@@grauph1up Hey, my friend. Thank you for your response! I've got another potential obsession for you to consider reacting to. The a Capella group, Home Free, are amazing. Consists of 5 amazing gents, and in my opinion, they are the best a Capella group that exists today. They perform mostly country songs, but they can do anything, and often change up genres from song to song. It's very common to start with their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow". I have a feeling they will touch your soul as well, and their fans (the Home Fries) are as loyal and kind as AJ's fans are to her. They will also light up your subscriptions when you start reacting to them. Just when you're ready. 🙂
Thank you Avila! I'm writing it down. Man of Constant Sorrow is an incredible song. That's going to be awesome to hear a 5 piece a cappella group do it.
As Queen fans my comment may make you smile . Queen saw this performance and liked it so much that they posted it on their official twitter channel with the comment ' Wow , what a rendition " and generously gave her permission to copywrite her version !!! Angelina also did a tribute to Freddie Mercury with a superb rendition of " The Show Must Go On " . Since you intend to fall down the rabbit hole with Our Barefoot Princess you have also gained another new subscriber . Have fun with your Angelina journey . All her loyal fans ( aka - Angels ) do .
Subscribed on this one!! Thank you for sharing your personal experience and how that tied in to Angelina's efforts to bring awareness to children in need. It was deeply moving and very sweet. So kind of you to open up like that, and I think, let others know that they're no different for having similar memories that stay with them! Respect to you, my good man! As to the performance, the real question would be: how did Queen feel about it? They loved it! They linked her performance on their Twitter saying, "Wow. What a rendition!" Then they did something I've honestly never heard of anyone doing before or since. They granted Angelina Copyright to her arrangement of their song! At 13, she owns her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! That's really crazy respect toward another artist. But, what she did was so beautiful, so unique, so emotional, and respectful of the song, that they simply agreed that she owned it, figuratively and then literally. I do hope you both are really well and having a super day! To both of you, and to all of the people you love and hold dear in your life, I wish you peace, I wish you joy, and I wish you love.
Thank you Roger! I really think they felt Freddie speaking to them through that rendition/arrangement.... I hope life is being kind to you where you are!
Remember, that time making it easier/better for her, wasn't for her, it was for you and no one can ever take that away! We get what we need when we need it and some will never get it and they always want to control us. We all deserve better! Good job and thanks!
I'm so glad you liked this performance, and I was moved by your story of the little girl standing near you. You two obviously look out for each other, and that's so rare. I think you'd both enjoy Angelina's cover of Elvis's Suspicious Minds. Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RTbKhkceR00.html
I can only imagine, She is unreal at just a few songs in... She really looks like she's doing this so effortlessly and remaining flawless still.. Thank you Dean!
You have to listen to Angelinas original song Million Miles ❤️ Its about her grandpa passing away and dedicated to all that have lost a loved one and its my favorite song ❤️ Its a special one, because I lost my dad at a very young age and Million Miles helped me healing ❤️
You both are so lovely, just subbed. Angelina's voice and music has done wonders to heal my heart on a fundamentally human level. And her own heart she gives in full measure in every performance. 🙏🏼💜🙌🏽 Shifting gears, have you guys ever listened to Poppy? Former alt pop musician turned hard rocker, I find her music and videos endlessly fascinating! I'd love to see your reactions to it. There's no best direction to start with, really, so just spin the wheel and see where you end up 😸🙏🏼💕
I don't think I've heard recent poppy? I remember one time watching kids be terrified of poppy and I was really confused by their reactions =,D like Why would you run away from poppy! I remember 'weird' poppy and loved it. The best rock discovery I stumbled on last year was OR3O doing a cover of Unravel. We hope to get to lots more Aurora and Angelina this year and slowly discover new things from all over. Thank you Jessie!
Dear Grauph + Nerdmuma, Happy to see your enjoyment of Angelina's comfortable authenticity. You will get many recommendations of Angelina's covers, but I am giving my vote to "I'd rather go blind," a classic of Etta James back from the 60s. Many voice and music teachers love how Angelina captured that tune, transforming her style and voice to pay homage to the original singer and the emotion of that song. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction! A new subscriber.
Thank you Stephen! I love Etta! I'm actively writing all of these down and we are just working through as toddler sleeping time lets us :) I'm excited to go and listen to others reacting afterwards as well. I would love to know her education. She just seems to possess the knowledge and skill of all of this and displays it so easily and confidently at such a young age....
Fans of Angelina, known as her angels, know a great deal about her education and skill. The main lesson is that the natural talent of a child, encouraged and nurtured, can become transformative in many ways. In Angelina's first original song, What is life, she sings, "life is a warm embrace from someone safe." Not only is she a prodigy, but she is also an empath. Reflecting on the struggles and victories of life. Selecting and writing songs that uplift and encourage better angels. Enjoy!
Absolutely love your sincere honesty and kindness that emanates from both of you. Subbed your channel simply for that reason and your appreciation for a wonderful human being, Angelina Jordan. I have two family members, my nephew and his wife, both A-10 pilots who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan supporting our troops. I am a huge supporter of our veterans in any way I possibly can and feel honored to do it. Thank you SIR for your service!! Glad you shared the shoeless child story with us and so happy you read the comments regarding Angelina's reasons for being bare foot. You shall find as you journey farther into the remarkable life of this music genius young lady that she is simply the most humble, caring, sweet, classy and eloquent young women who's goal is to sing for the world and bring happiness and joy to all of us. She is not your typical "star" so to speak in this industry. At 8 years old when she won Norway Got Talent competition she donated the majority of her winnings (50K USD) to children's charities. Since that time she has helped raise over 22 million for children's charities through her performances at events. She is the REAL deal guys, just happens to be superlatively talented as well. So so looking forward to your journey with our other Norwegian Treasure. Cheers, and stay well. 🥰🥰
Thank you Carl! Everything I learn about her is amazing. Her ability to remain humble while containing that gift is incredible in itself. Air support is a wonderful feeling to have.. I will never forget the one time I saw it called in. That amount of destruction in that precise of an area was beautiful and horrifying. Those warthogs save a lot of soldiers lives. The layers of Angelina are unreal, not just the talent but her genuine passion, compassion for humanity, her actual understanding of the music, and multilingual... not even counting for her age...
@@grauph1up Just wanted to let you know the Angels can be a little much BUT there are a few things to consider well kinda just one. With her starting so young her parents made sure things were done sparringly and done right, it may seem like ALOT of content between the two channels and tictok and etc but its over 15 years worth. That being said there are many devoted Angels who have litterally seen her grow up from 8yo into present. Many Angels who care for her like family almost or like a surrogate family member lol. Some angels have more horn then halo so dont be taken back by some things said in comments. Lol
Thank you Scribbles =,D I can assure you no comment has come close to the first DM I got on a twitch stream when I was doing burpees last year, it wasn't even awful it just really caught me by surprise haha =,D I'm actually astounded by the amount of positivity in the comments.. We both completely understand what it is to be obsessed fans of things and people :) We have SO much ahead of us to listen to. Tonight we got to record Mount Everest from July 7 at Kongsberg, hopefully it will be up in a couple days.
Hello from Montreal Very powerful reaction from you both. Welcome to the barefoot Angel rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed. In addition, reactors that react to both Bohemian Rhapsody and I put a spell on you from Angelina, have “Angels” status bestowed to them from Angelina’s massive fan base (aka “Angels”)😇. With 500 million views on RU-vid (and twice that on Facebook), you’re becoming acquainted to something really special, the future Queen of Song. Congratulations to you both. P.s. the surviving members of Queen tweeted Angelina shortly after her performance: “wow! What a rendition” Pps. Quincy Jones (Michael Jackson’s producer) has called her the best raw talent since Michael Jackson. She was even invited to sing at his 85th Birthday party at the O2 arena in London.
I think the members of Queen heard Freddie talking to them through this rendition.. I keep losing track of time and everything around me during the end of this song. Thank you D G! It's overwhelming and all of her Angels have been super supportive. we will hopefully get this better as we go too! Nerdmuma is really new to the camera and I'm really new to sitting still on it =,D I wanted to experience some new music this year and the universe heard me completely. Thank you again DG I'm excited to start this journey.
@@grauph1up Hello from Montreal again Thanks for your reply. Do not change much to your approach to reacting. Keep it natural. The pure and natural reaction to your hearing and listening to Angelina connected strongly with the “Angels”, much in the same way they have been touched by her voice and being. There is something special about her. Her massive explosion on to the scene came at the time of her appearance on AGT (at the beginning of the COVID lockdowns). Her voice hit just the right note to make us “feel” again. You mention the soul in her voice several times in your reaction. There is even 2 Angel “retirees” who created a podcast dedicated to those affected by Angelina. It is called “ Wrapped in a warm blanket”: youtube.com/@wrappedinawarmblanket In the meantime just thought you might be interested in other mind boggling stuff about Angelina such as - an interview on Norwegian TV (with English subs) with her mother 8 years ago (there’s a clip of Angelina singing I will always love you - at ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD in it): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5A_N1i00gFs.html Also see her singing “I who have nothing” in her school studio at 6 years old. Shirley Bassey (the singer of James Bond Films) better lookout : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.html To have your mind blown even further watch her covers of: -How great thou art - at 11 years old - who ever thought a young girl could sing as deep as Elvis : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WLAEy1LIHrc.html -Million Miles (live from Norway on July 7th 2022) - her original song dedicated to her late grandfather. Wait until you hear how she ends the song : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-joKQeVbThzE.html
Thank you again D G! Tonight we got to record our reaction to Mount Everest - July 7 at Kongsberg (might be a few days before Nerdmuma can get to the editing)... I only discovered the song this week from a comment and couldn't wait to hear Angelina perform it and it was as incredible as I'd hoped =,D I'm looking forward to hearing her dedication to her grandfather as well... Don't worry we wont' be changing our approach to reacting =,D just maybe some better settings figured out and lighting =,D
Blessing to you both. Angelina has been raised in a very giving family. She used to walk the atreets of Oslo in the morning with her maternal grandfather caring for the homeless (listen to Million Miles, an AJ original). Caring for the less fortunate is an essential part of her soul. As an Angel since 2016, I look forward to joining you on this journey.
Thank you Roger, we are going to try to get to Million Miles really soon. I know that one's going to hurt. I'm so glad she had her grandparents to lead her with examples. Their actions blessed the world.
Thank you so much for sharing that heartwarming story. I've been following Angelina (AJ) for nearly 3 years and she is the only artist that has ever truly touched me. I am not usually an emotional person but AJ just has a way of hitting me in the feels. You are never going to be disappointed with a performance and she will always give you a little surprise. Here is her 10 year old performance on stage with a great jazz orchestra performing her own arrangement of the classic "FEELING GOOD" ala James Bond: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p8kAL-sGJx8.html The stage presence is only outdone by her vocal prowess. Take care and keep these great reactions coming!!
Thank you Frank! Man every single song I see recommended sounds amazing... OH man I can't wait to hear what she's arranged around Nina! It's like she's a conduit to all of these souls.... I think that's how my brain is going to try to rationalize her now =,D
@@grauph1up when you get to interviews telling her story about the the 6yo shoeless girl. I’m guessing you will go back over and over again. Angelina reads directly from her diary 😂😂😂. She wrote a beautiful book about the experience becoming Norway’s youngest published author at the age of 9. Title of the book is “between two hearts “
First of all, thank you for your service. Your empathy for that little girl in Afghanistan matches Angelina's. I think it is a common thread in fans of our Angel to really feel the music. As a 68 yr old there are some AJ songs that bring tears to my eyes every time I hear them. Please continue down this path to discover the talents of our Angel. She is truly a healing force in the world. An original song by Angelina that illustrates this is "Million Miles". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.html
Thank you Roszyk! I look forward to hearing an original song by her after seeing her amazing handling of other's. A shoeless girl in another country will stay with you for the rest of your life. I hope to hear Million Miles soon! We just need to get the little man to sleep with enough leftover energy to record =)
She could probably convert the world to polka if she did cover it =,D I can't wait to hear how diverse she gets in all of her different songs and genres. Thank you DJ Switzer and Thank you 103Mrg =,D One day an AI version of weird al will be doing Angelina covers.
A second comment - Heidi's comment was the Golden Buzzer. Angelina and Heidi have become friends, and Heidi has been promoting Angelina in many ways, including an upcoming appearance on Germany's Next Top Model
Thank you Roger! I just went to look up the Heidi moment, I don't know why it was cut from so many after Simon talking.. Heidi looked so excited to hit that buzzer =,D
Hi Nerdmuma + Grauph 🙃, thank you a billion for this second - very emotional, honest and empathic reaction to Angelina Jordan ❤ On your path through the AJ rabbit hole you will find some more such songs which will make some tears stealthy comes out of your eyes ☺ ...but also some - and often these are the same 🙃- songs which fill your heard with joi and calmness and helps you to manage some difficult situations. Stay well and healthy and best wishes from Germany Andreas 😎
Thank you Andreas! She is incredible! I'm happy we somehow missed the time between then and now just knowing there's so much waiting for us =,D I think we are going to try to listen to Million Miles very soon, just working around us having any energy left after the toddler sleeps.
