Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.

The thing about Angelina is that in the middle of her participation in Norway Got Talent (she was 7 when she entered and had turned 8 when she won), she had earned the utmost respect from every notable musician in Norway. From the age of just-turned-8 she had the best musicians, from the fancy big orchestras to the best individual artists eager to work with her. That has not changed ever since, wherever she goes, the best musicians are ready and willing...

she is a 9 year old here in this video. there are no enhancements on her singing, she is just that good. Angelina Jordan has MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS AND FANS from around the world. today Angelina is 17 years old and is releasing her first full album on REPUBLIC RECORDS in just a few weeks. you need to go back to 2014 and work your way forward with her progress. one thing to remember, ANYTIME there is live music for her to sing to, she, ANGELINA, arranges the music to the way she wants it. even when she sings to a backing track, she changes the singing arrangement so its her own. and whenever she performs, she performs barefooted ! thats another story !!! you have so much to learn about this amazing singer and humanitarian !!!!!!!!!!

No matter how many times you hear her, you're always impressed! 3. One of life's great pleasures is watching people hear her for the first time! 4. She is destined to be one of the all-time greats - Music Mt Rushmore status

Welcome to the best singer on the planet

Wait until you see her other videos. She is shockingly good, every single time. Her talents are almost impossible to explain. She IS the voice of this generation.

Thanks for your reaction, she’s got you now so be prepared to be amazed, delighted, even moved to tears as you embark on the incredible Angelina Jordan journey. We are all very blessed to be on Earth the same time as the beautiful (inside and out) Angelina. Other fans have already filled you in on her life story so far, so all I can add is that I’m 70 years old and grew up in the 50’s and 60’s when music took off. I have many favourite bands and singers from this era but none have ever impressed me as much as Angelina.

She's musical Dynamite !!!

thank you and welcome to the Amazing Angelina Jordan .

She just makes you feel the music, she has that gift to convey emotion. Never heard anybody like her in my 70 years on this planet!

I think she was 9 then. It’s amazing. She started singing as an infant. Her grandmother got her interested. She is Norwegian of mixed cultures.

She's the boss. She's amazing. This is her arrangement.

"She has something that can't be explained".....That is at the heart of Angelina's talent. You listen and watch, and you just say how, how can perfection come at such a young age. Outstanding reaction, please react to more Angelina. You will not be disappointed.

You are correct sir. Angelina is (here) a 9 year-old jazz prodigy from Norway, currently 17, now living in LA with her family and about to finish school. Republic Records is poised to launch her career with a new album and probably a tour. Start watching her stuff, you will have your mind blown every time.

Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole... it's a deep one. She was 9 when this was filmed, and she's got many covers to watch from childhood. She's 17 now, writing her own stuff, and it's _still_ amazing.

Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on KZfaq. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English and Swedish. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot: At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 6 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway, including being named a national treasure, and her videos on KZfaq went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. A 9 years and 2 months old, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a KZfaq video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT that contractually bound her to Simon or AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on KZfaq. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On KZfaq, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”. In April 2021, her original "7th Heaven" was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina performed concerts scheduled in Norway in July 2022. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life in more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.

i am so jealous of people hearing Angelina for the first time, But even after listening to her a Gizilion times it's still nearly as good as the first time. The Gods blessed us with her voice even though we as a human race don't deserve it

If you take the journey, she will surprise you time after time after time. It's well worth it.

And she also did the arrangement, dude... at the age of 9. Glad you have found her.

I have this downloaded and watch it all of the time. She’s otherworldly, a force, a portal.

So glad you have finally discovered Angelina. Enjoy.

her talent came from another life time where she was a jazz singer

Ok, so now you have to react to her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on America‘s got talent. That‘s so amazing! She IS amazing!

One of the greatest young talents alive today and just keep getting better

My introduction to Angelina was on AGT at age 13. I became an Angelinaholic that night. It is a great condition to have.

I have watched probably hundreds of reactions to this song.. this is by far the best one thank you😊❤

Angelina started singing at 18 mo as a child prodigy. She does all of her own arrangements. Since you're on a roll, please go back further. Her first time in a studio at the age of 6 she sang I Who Have Nothing. You can clearly see, even at 6 Angelina knows e aptly what she's doing. Enjoy. There is so much to come. Angelina will continue to keep you in awe.

I'm not technically savvy about musical production, but as far as I've been able to research, Angelina has never used auto-tune, nor needed to.

This is one you need to listen to 50 times to catch all the subtle nuances.

This young music prodigy is 9 here but just turned 17 now. She sings all the great songs. That's how she has gained mastery of the texture, tone, nuances of her voice. By 9 she had already sung all over the world having won Norways Got Talent audition at 7 and 8 by the final. At 9 she published her book based on her diary of when she met an orphan with bare scarred feet in the middle East and gave her her shoes and promised to never forget. This is why she sings bare foot and has helped raise millions for children's charities.

Yes! You finally reacted to her! Dude, she is only one that has even dared to take on Bohemian Rhapsody and make it her own. She is a prodigy. Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole and it’s a long, amazing, WOW one! Thank you!

Angelina was 9 when she did this. She is even better now

WOW. I just woke up expecting some 15-20 odd comments. There's almost 300 comments by you absolutely beautiful people. I promise I will read every single one. I might not reply to every single one but I will read what you took time to write, I promise you that. Thank you for all the insight. I love you

Since she was very young the bands she sings with her call her the Boss. Love her so much she is such a beautiful human being, she has worked so hard from such a young age and deserves every blessing that comes her way. She makes this 77 year old gran so proud, I live alone and spend so much time with her. Blessings to you from South Africa.

✒️yes for Angelina...her angels are in the whole world...start the party...greatings from Berlin😉👌

Her covers should be legendary. Her cover of Born to Die is incredible

Sir, Angelina Jordan sings since she was 1,5 years old, YES. Discovering JAZZ and Soul at age 2, She decided to practice singing since age 3 for 36 hours weekly. At age 4, she also started visiting the music academies, first Oslo then LA, for technical advice. Angelina Jordan (AJ) was at age 9 years and two months a veteran. From age 8 on she gathered and donated around 30 million USD for childrens charities and ecological causes, she also helps the homeless community in LA, where she works today. YES, work, she is a professional singer at age 17. Salem, my friend. Be safe and sound. Elmar from Germany

This was a bad thing. Now you will be hooked. Angelina is so amazing. There’s no going back now. Welcome to our Angelina world. It’s great!

I love watching reactions of first time ever seeing or hearing Angelina. It’s usually this song. Reminds me of first time I heard her. I was down the rabbit hole for 2 days watching everything available. Not sure how anyone, outside of reaction channels, can wait to hear the next one and the next one. It must be torture having to wait a week or more between songs.

Her Bohemian Rhapsody is so soulful and refined. She’s a little older. Not as jaw dropping but she owns It. I think she gets residuals from it because they loved her version so much.

Respect from the band,who know her as "Boss" because they are playing her arrangement. At the start she is giving them her final "wishes" on how to play the song (she commands with the velvet glove approach,not the iron fist one).

There comes a time when description like child or kid no longer apply and words like singer ,artist and performer will take over . She has a gift that makes her and music one

She was giving notes to the band!!

Its 4/1/24 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯

What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 17 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! IMO Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻 Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻 There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru KZfaq of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own. Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻 She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻 She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she just turned 17 January 10th. They finally signed with Republic Records about three years ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon. She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and a couple of songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won NGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings here in mid-Minnesota USA wherein lies a huge proud Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻

Your close, now it’s the first rabbit hole immediately in front of you You will encounter our living Valentine as pure as her beauty 💁🏻‍♀️

She's a child prodigy.

She has the soul of an ancient...

"Look at the respect she's getting from the band, by the way." I love that insight. They call her "the Boss"! She's 9 years and 2 months old here. Also, her ancestry is 25% Iranian. Her grandmother, Meri Zamani, is a renowned artist and poet....a prodigy once herself. You'll see much of Meri's work in Angelina's posts. Finally, and most important about Meri is that she's the one who inspired Angelina to take an interest in jazz, which is AJ's wheelhouse. I hope you continue your journey with Angelina. Many like me who are in their 70's have said she's as good as any other singer we've heard in our lives.

You can also see videos of Angelina singing: "Feeling Good" "I'd Raither Go Blind" "It's a Man's World" "Suspicious Mind" "A Natural Woman" " Billie Jean " "I Will Survive" " I'm Still Holding Out For You" " Autumn Leaves " **** " Something's Got a Hold On Me" " Ain't No Sunshine " "What a Difference a Day Makes" "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

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 ❤💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS***

The musical Chameleon strikes again 😂🥰 she is an amazing artist and person. You are in for an awsome ride 🥰

holy crap I have loved Angelina Jordan for like 7 years and for some reason never heard this cover?!?! damn this is a hell of an introduction to her.

Its only been five months. She gets into your everyday, and its good

Your reaction was priceless and not unexpected. You will not escape this rabbit hole! Angelina was only 9 here. Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 17, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She has not been widely promoted yet, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, she graduates school this year, and her new album of originals should be released within the next few months, followed by a world tour, possibly this summer. Here is a link from ages 6 to 17 of over 100 Angelina chronological KZfaq performances with five originals. Here is a more comprehensive playlist of approximately 190 videos including tiktok and Instagram. Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even donated her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Don't worry; she's a better singer than just about everybody. The band called her the boss because of how she directed the studio. There's no one like her. I doubt she took more than two takes (if that) in this song. She rarely does. She is that good. 😎

Enough cannot be said about AJ’s parents dressing her age appropriately. ❤

She's a master Maestro.

"This is amazing.....This is WOW!" sums it up quite well. Most of us had the same reaction to this masterpiece. She's NOT a child singer; she's a singer who happens to present her old soul as a child. What a discovery, eh? Lots more to check out, younger ( 7) to the present (17). Enjoy this journey.

I’m dying! Omg ! Ahahah guess what! This was done in 1 take! This version is available on Apple Music! Lmaoooo love it.

I'm not a fan of Jazz, but this young lady nailed it like a pro.

Thanks for the wonderful and shocked reaction, this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also sung by great singers. 💛🧡❤ Wonderful passion and incredible talent, this is Angelina.

Angelina rarely needs more than one take and if more than one is needed, it is due to the musicians. Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created this arrangement, then took control of the studio and musicians to deliver a powerful, emotional performance. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on KZfaq.

At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Musicians working with Angelina would call her the boss since she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song and would confidently instruct the musicians. While one could say Angelina was mimicking other artists, there is no doubt she had her own style and created her own arrangements, even at this early age. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing.

In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. The vast majority of the prize money was donated to charity benefitting poor children. Record company executives flew their private jets to Norway to attempt to sign 8 year old Angelina but all were thankfully rebuked. Disney also made an offer but not accepted. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore and Mexico among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter and allowed Angelina to copyright her version. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT which would give Simon any control over her career. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on KZfaq. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On KZfaq, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. Personally, Angelina as a great human being and her music came into my life when I needed it most. Her music has improved the quality of my life more than I can express. I now introduce her to as many people as I can, with the hope her music will do the same for others. We know once her family believes the time is right and allows Republic Records to fully promote her, she will become the superstar she has always dreamt and believed she would be. I encourage others to use this biography to help educate others about the love, empathy, magic and beauty that is Angelina Jordan Astar and her unique music.

I love your pinned comment. As you've obviously figured out by now, Angelina has an army of thousands of supporters and admirers from around the world. Most of us have watched her grow up into the wonderful young woman she is today. We're very protective of her, but welcoming to anyone who genuinely appreciates her talent. Welcome to the family!

Angelina entered Norway's Got Talent at age seven, but had her eighth birthday before she won the final show with 46% of the listeners' vote. She was 9yr 2m on this recording, and had already sung live televised stage performances in Norway, Germany, Singapore and USA by this time. At age 10, her vocal abilities took another huge leap forward; many followed. Released her first jazz album at 12. Only 180 videos of cover songs, most better than the original artist; five original songs; this year aged 17, her first "proper" single and album with Republic Records will launch. Angelina has covered Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Paul Anka, Elvis Presley, Nina Simone, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, The Animals, the Mamas & The Papas, Queen, Lana del Rey, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Shirley Bassey, Rihanna, Duffy, and many others. No other artist has shocked me on so many video performances - but then, I'm only 69, there is time......

A kid singing. She sings Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent. You MUST see that.

I knew this was gonna be comedy gold once i saw the title😂And here is some more mindblowing funfacts for you,she is completely self taught. She watched tons of KZfaq videos at just a few years old,and tried daily to sound as good as they did. The papers she handed over was last minute adjustments to this cover. She composes,arranges and writes with passion. And its not the parents pushing her,when she was this young it was her pushing her parents to do more covers. They had to stop her with too dark or explicit lyrics. Always very protective towards her,letting her and her little sister Juliette be kids and have fun,always being safe. Shes just a wonderchild as I have called her since she was 6-7 years old and won Norways Got Talent. 🥰

Yes, she's leading the band. Didn't you see her giving them her written instructions for how she wanted the arrangement to go at the beginning!? They call her - affectionately - ' The Boss'! 🤣 9 years old here, already a very experienced performer, having sung with numerous band and orchestra's since winning Norway's Got Talent, aged 7. Noe 17. Enjoy exploring the early evolution of this remarkable unique talent. Already a massive international following. A career to watch.🤩

Amazing, singing at 1.5 yrs old. God given gift! And arranged music around 7 yrs old. Wow! Wow!

This might be fun 😂😂😂

English is her 3rd language among several. Been singing since 18 months. She can only be described as - WOW!

What a wonderful and refreshing reaction! I love this little girl and now shes 17 yrs old with a dynamite new ep out! Love her!

Yeah Angelina is incredible and it's very hard to comprehend and very easy to love. Even more incomprehensible she has gotten even better a lot better in fact. She entered the line might at age 7 when she participated in Norway Got Talent with Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday. Quincy Jones asked her, at age 11, to sing at his 85th birthday party in the O2 arena. She sang his arrangement for Frank Sinatra of Fly Me To The Moon. She wasn't on the programme, kicked of the show and afterwards was all the talk. Quincy compared get talent to Michael Jackson's. At 13 she entered America For Talent and went viral with her own unique arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen praised her and recently repeated that she killed it. Last year she sang her jazzy rendition of Billie Jean for Jonathan Sugar foot Moffet, MJ's drummer, while sitting crosslegged on the floor. He loved it and said she was channeling Michael. Earlier this year she performed at the FIFA Awards just before the big awards were announced for millions of viewers. Afterwards she made a TikTok with big football stars and it got 30 million views in a matter of weeks. If you want to hear what she does know, you could listen to her rendition of Suspicious Minds: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLqSfsucyMu2YGQ.html and My Funny Valentine: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7p3f8WkrKqleWQ.html Thanks for this reaction and enjoy this journey :-)

What is wonderful about Angelina is her family is willing to turn down money to allow Angelina to go to school and live a regular life. She only really does concerts and public events during school breaks. Also, even this video (when she was 10?) she put together the arrangement. She knows what she wants it to sound like and she isn't intimidated by adults to change how she performs.

well...as we Angelina angels(thats what she calls her fans) know today is that she is able to captivate you after only one listening,no matter witch song it is,no matter her age,she is able to change your way you see and feel music...and this...peace of cake for Angelina,just a tribute to screaming jay hawkings classic song-56...the true is that Angelina is born to sing,thats the fact,welcome to the magical world of Angelina

She’s 17 now, and you will not believe what she sounds like now. She’s been considered a generational artist, and will be held within the highest regards with frank sinatra, Etta James, Billie holiday, michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse. Part of me really wants you to see what she sounds like today but it would only be right for you to start from the beginning and watch some performances from her younger years. Please keep in mind she recorded this AFTER she won Norways got talent at the age of 7/8. You’ll get hit soon with the rest of the fans and will be given much more descriptive run downs and playlists !

thanks for giving this girl the respect and honor due... I've seen dozens and dozens of reactions to this performance and sometimes the reactor gives a reluctant, good job for a kid with a shoulder shrug. Your reaction tells me that you know something 'special' when it comes by.

I just loved your reaction I am laughing so hard, the girl has no equal on this planet.

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on KZfaq. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on KZfaq went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a KZfaq video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on KZfaq.

She is not kidding. She put that spell on most of us. There are few recommondations in the comments already. But right now she somehow released about 190 songs. And mostly the last one, you hear, is the best one. on the account of Rusty Shackleford you can find playlists with every song, she released, also a chronological one. Now, that you fell down that rabbit hole, this is the way. (The Mandalorian😉) Angelina Jordan Astar was born Jan 10th 2006, so she is 17 now, signed at Republic Records one and a half years ago, and her album, containing original songs, will be released in fall this year. A single from that album will be released allegedly in about a week. Great reaction, signed...

She was born and finally to get up and toddling around at one and a half and singing to Whitney Houston. She was born to give us what she's giving us. All those before her have come back. Just about a peek-a-boo if you catch her eyes in this performance. You see another Soul that's a bit older than eight years old. Oh yes she's an "Old Soul".

You have just discovered a true gem. This young artist is a once in a generation talent. In for the journey. It’s gonna be a great ride.

Angelina is the person who arranged this song. Those notes you saw her writing down were last minute changes. As amazing as her vocal talent it pales to her ability to interpret, compose and arrange music. The only person i can think of that had this level of talent in that is Mozart. She is a remarkable artist but also an amazing person, very authentic and altruistic working with numerous charities. She has been singing into a mic since she was 3 and she won Norways got talent at age 8.

As you will find in the comments, she is beyond any singer past,present, and probably future. She started arranging her own music at six, as she had been studying music theory since five. Also know she speaks Norwegian, Persian, and English in that order by age five,and is fluent at that age ,while reading English. I do not know if she reads Persian. She entered school at four. At two going on three she is seen scrolling through KZfaq for hours listening to jazz and blues. She is recorded singing at eighteen months of age. Learn you must as there is no one like her. She may be the most recorded and photographed person in history. Have fun.

Welcome to your Angelina journey. There are a very few musicians of this level of genius in the history of music a few have been mentioned, Mozart, Michael Jackson, etc Yes AJ is among that pantheon. As amazing as her talent is, her soul is even more amazing, Youngest published author in Norway, raised millions of dollars for homeless and under privileged children (someone will mention why she sings barefoot I'm sure) and is a humble and unaffected as anyone you might meet. My prediction is that if she chooses to stay in the US, she will someday be hailed as a national treasure.

I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 17 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻

😂Love your reaction ❤ Angelina is always amazing. Have follow her since she was 7 years old ❤

Thank you! I am so grateful when a musician who understands Angelina reacts to her. While this is one of the most amazing performances from Angelina, I think you will find that her vocals are always superior, and she is on a path to become the GOAT. How does the 9 year old do it? She is a child prodigy genius with singing, who craves to become a guiding light bringing love and happiness to the world through her singing. She has been capable and driven from an early age and has spent the hours developing what was given to her. Her musical sensitivity and vocal dexterity may be unparalleled by anyone remotely close to her age, at any age. She started singing at age 18 months.

I'm 73 years old. Of all the great singers I have heard and admire in my life, Angelina Jordan is my all-time favorite. She doesn't just sing a song, she EMOTES it. She is medicine for my soul.

What an awesome first reaction to Angelina. Everything you said is absolutely spot on. Angelina was just a little over 9 years old here, and she had already won Norway's Got Talent (NGT) at age 8, singing two Billie Holiday songs (Gloomy Sunday and I'm A Fool To Want You), Bang Bang, and George Gershwin's Summertime in the finale. Her evolution as a singer and an artist in just the four short months or so she performed on NGT was astonishing. I first heard her sing on January 6th, 2020. It was her incredible rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent, the Champions, and I have literally listened to her every day since then. She is the most impressive and most versatile singer I've ever heard. And she is just as great a person as she is a singer. Frankly, I find her inspiring. Today she is 17 and signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist, with a much-anticipated new album due out soon. She has dozens of performances out there that will blow you away, all the way from the age of 8 to today. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
