She recorded this song to a super cheap karaoke backtrack from SingKing at age 13. The recording was posted 9 days after she turned 13 so she may very well still be 12. Still she made it sound this good. Sitting in her room with no post-processing whatsoever. Much Love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️❤❤

At age 13 she already had extreme control. Her tone is unique and I think this is better than the original.

I'm so glad you changed your mind about Angelina not having control... I was going cross-eyed. Also your idea about Angelina opening up Pandora's box gets the idea of her advancing vocal 'growth' and technique. Your real enthusiasm is refreshing.

You need to hear a demoshe did at age 10 that was never put out by her team but was "Leaked" .... "IM STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU" you wont believe she is 10

Her voice is "there'. She only uses only what she needs. Listen to her other songs around this age. Thanks for your reactions to Angelina.

Birthday is 10th January 2006, in Oslo Norway. Her father is Swedish and Her Mother Sara is half Iranian and half Japanese. English is her 3rd language... she is very smart she's been in LA for about 6 years... she has sung some of her best covers while she has lived there.

I love John's line, where he talks about loving someone who has 'Perfect Imperfections', which is a perfect description for what a true 'Jazz' singer like Angelina does each time she performs the same song, but a bit differently each time. That said, this girl is 'The Queen Of Perfect Imperfections'.

Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway. 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. 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. 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 was near her 8th birthday 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 to trim the number of vocalists who passed their audition, and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang.” 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 money was placed in a trust and available when Angelina turns 18. 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. 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 playlist now exceeds 200 songs. 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. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go" On July 21, 2023, her “Old Enough” EP was released with 5 new original songs: “Fire and Rain”, “Diamond”, “Now I’m the Fool”, “All My Fault” and “Good in Goodbyes” The finance company SoFi is using Angelina’s original song “Our Time” in a commercial and the full song was uploaded on KZfaq on October 27, 2023. On November 25, 2023, Angelina attended Le Bal, the annual Debutante Ball in Paris, France. 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 desired to 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.

Buy the way, that painting you see behind Angelina is one of her grandma, Mery Zamani’s paintings. Grandma Mery was, herself, a child prodigy as a painter and poet. The Leader of Japan own two of Mery’s paintings.

😀😀😀😀😀

I think you need to see more of her videos around this age. You will always change your opinions each video you see. Love your reactions!!!❤

Thank you for your reaction. You must remember that Angelina is also called the girl with the thousand voices. Listen to her open air concert when she was 11. "Diamonds are for ever", "Lovi'n you"etc. Also " The show must go on" and "Its a man's world" when she was 12 /13. Then there is " How great Thou art" etc.

Watch, I’d rather go blind

Her voice has definitely matured but even at 10-11 she sang songs in a way that she probably couldn't duplicate today ..

Angelina has been a Pro since she was 8 yrs old, literally, traveling the Globe, getting paid and performing at an extremely high level since she was 8 yrs old, your just getting started in your Angelin journey bro, you aint seen nothing yet, some of her best performances are between the age 9 and 13 prolly like 100 of them or more

You're wrong about her "not having control" with the Adele song (Easy On Me) She's always had phenomenal control. I understand you're a vocal coach but I've listened to dozens of other vocal instructors express 😢contrary opinions. Watch her sing Feeling Good live at age 10. Incredible control of voice AND stage presence.

One of the most remarkable things about Angelina, and I am sure most fellow angels agree, many of her early performances will always be among my favorites. I think during her preteen years, Angelina was more in touch with her natural instincts, resulting in remarkable vocal choices that hug my soul.

Ela demonstrou seu absoluto controle ao cantar a capela com todos seus concorrentes atrás dela e quatro jurados a sua frente

kiedy zapytano pewnego futurystę, jaki będzie świat za 10-15-20 lat, powiedział: będzie tak jak teraz ,tylko bardziej, postęp możliwości wokalnych AJ to potwierdza

She did have the power, etc back then, I think part of what you are saying is due to how she decided to sing the song. Of course 17 yr old old voice is stronger than 13 yr old, but I think part of it on this song is just style. Either way, it's beautiful;)

Thanks for reacting to this beautiful performance by Angelina. Listening to the Barefoot Angel regardless of her age, 18th months or few days before her 18th birthday on Jan 10, 2024, makes each day more enjoyable for me.

Thanks so much for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏👍👏

Great reaction 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

Thank you DV for continuing to support AJ, the thing with her is the more you discover, the more you realise you haven't discovered her yet and that never ends artistically and musically she is a constant surprise AJ's voice is what ever she decides it is at any given time and she's just getting started, the girl with a thousand voices might be an understatement . there is no definition because there hasn't been an AJ before and the world doesn't realise yet but our pioneer , breaking all the rules is the new renaissance coming from the deepest part of her heart for all of us.💗👣

MY FUNNY VALENTINE at age 10 & age 16 = the BEST‼️

World class

Check out her song Diamond from Old Enough EP

'Perfect Imperfections', love that.

Hi DV, You should check out her cover of Unchained melody from her portsmouth NH concert in sept of this year. Great power, Great emotion. Folks at the concert said that song was worth the ticket price alone. Great reaction Buddy. You Get Her, Some reactors dont. Thanks DV

If you don't think Angelina had the power at this age you should listen to her cover of its a man's world when she was 12. Having power and not using it is a choice....obviously the subtlety has escaped you.

AJ was born Jan 10, 2006. Appreciate your analysis. But so far as control. I mean, just listen to her cover of I Put a Spell On You at 9 yrs old. She's always had control more than most, it just got better with age. The crackle is commonly known as vocal fry, which has been described by many pros as natural and completely original. Thats John Legend overlay I think. By the way, even John Legend doesnt do those runs.

January 10th 2006 saw the birth of Angelina Jordan Astar in Oslo, Norway. Be safe man. Elmar

Nice job and reaction DV. They should of dropped down the piano and had taken some of the reverb from the panel and this would of been steller. Thank You!

Love your Reactions btw

Control? Lots!

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣💯

Love your channel! I just subscribed! AJ just released Driving Home for Christmas 🎄

She was born in January 2006, so it’s easy to count to the date on the video to determine her age. I’ve heard many vocal teachers say that the female voice continues to mature through the 20’s and even 30’s, so of course her voice today is much stronger and fuller than when she was younger. That’s why her fans can’t wait to hear what she will be able to do in ten years! Please take the “F” word off your trailer at the end of your videos-thanks!

Don you’ve done a lot it her covers on you tube from baby to young to teen but the best reactor I follow has posted 144 reactions and 200k plus subs in just over 12 months. So she’s a stay at home mom who doesn’t have to go back to get day job, so there’s a challenge for you. Another reactor has Angelina Mondays and gets a heap more views from his subs on Mondays. Just som ideas I love your reactions you got it so wishing you every success. I’m searching for every one you do.

Love your videos but I have to disagree with you on Angelina's power and control. She is 13 here or just turning 13 It is a song that doesn't require power. If you haven't already listened to her 12-year-old version of It's a Man's World, you are in for a surprise and a treat. She belts it out with the best of them! Just as impressive is her 11-year-old version of Lovin You (enhanced audio). I think you will change your opinion! By the way, in the Adele song you reacted to, she was only 15 so perhaps only 2 years older or just a bit more. Other suggestions, if you want to compare the same song at different times in her life.... My funny Valentine, age 10 sitting in her living room Age 16, in an antique shop Unchained Melody, age nine on Norwegian TV Age 11, at home Age 17, recently in concert Fly Me to the Moon, age eight on Rosie O'Donnell show Age 10, on the salt flats Age 12, rehearsal for Quincy Jones Those should keep you busy lol!

please do Angelina Feeling good song it's my fav.

10th January is her birthday.

AJS Bday is Jan 10 and she will be 18 next month

Hi. Totally agree with you that, amazing as she already is at this age, she gets even better as she grows older. However, if you have any lingering doubts about her control and power at this age, I respectfully invite you to check out her cover of Queen's "The Show Must Go On" (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLR6qZNj1NqZmps.html), where she manages to rather brilliantly portray the struggle Freddie Mercury was going through at the time: the almost heart-rending parts of the song that demonstrated his suffering, alternating with the powerful sections that highlighted his determination that despite everything, the show must indeed go on.

@Donvon bro react to GLYZZY WALK 3 bro that song is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Angelina performs the songs the way SHE imagines it should be delivered. Check out It’s a man’s world there’s many more in a couple of years you’ll have covered them all tell me that’s not Going to be a fun experience for you and your subs.

Plssss react to kid laroiii plsss😂❤❤

can you react to problematic by boywithuke

Angelina has always had amazing voice control even from a young age so I disagree with your opinion, Angelina’s technical ability surpasses her years, you need to listen to more of Angelina’s early renditions before you make such comments????

so, you're a belt fan. you want big belts in lieu of a more emotional vulnerable texture in certain phrases. got it. I like them both, but disagree with you that AJ is somehow lacking here in choosing the more vulnerable texture in this earlier recording and unable to belt it out if she wanted to.

Too much talking for me
