Yes, you messed up the barefoot thing - severely. The story as it goes from how it was told originally is like this. The family Astar was on vacation in her mother's home country, Iran when Angelina was six years old. Walking through city center they met a street vendor girl - pretty poor I'm sure. As the talk goes this street vendor happen to compliment Angelina for her shoes. Angelina gave her the shoes and asked her what's the dream and she is told it is to be a doctor, but as she realized - that's never going to happen. Angelina already knew at the time that she wanted to be a super star singer, but this dream had yet to be realized. Angelina tells her never to give up hope. When they split up they both agreed not to forget each other. When Angelina gets back to Norway, she decide her way to remember is by singing barefoot when performing before an audience.

@@KZread_Stole_My_Handle_Too Now see you got it a little wrong yourself. The little girl was an orphan who was weighing people for what she could get to help her brothers and sisters to get food. When Angelina got ready to leave the little girl said, 'you will go away from here and forget all about me.' Angelina then said, 'every time I perform I will sing barefoot, so that I never forget you, and to tell people that millions of people go without shoes and that she would perform without shoes until everyone has them . So originally Angelina went barefoot as a signal to that little girl that Angelina still remembered her. Then it grew into a way for lots of people to be reminded that millions of people live with out having shoes.

@@KZread_Stole_My_Handle_Too I always defer to facts and I'm not sure I ever ran across that interview. So I tip my cap to you and will adjust my information to reflect this. I've been reading stories about this for 5 years and I confess I will tend to romanticize details if given any wiggle room. So again thanks for the update. Is it possible to give me the link to that interview? Thanks for considering my request.

One of the highest points in my 75-year-old life is the ability to experience Angelina a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Angelina is known as the barefoot princess as at age 6, she gave her own shoes (shoes Angelina liked a lot) to a 6-7 year old street vendor in the Middle East. She wrote a book about the encounter, which makes her the youngest published author in Norway. In her own words, Angelina speaks about this encounter on NRK TV "Lindmo" with English CC (kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5d3rqaSYKa5ips.html ). She has committed herself to never wear footwear in her performances, until all children had shoes to wear. She's been extremely active in humanitarian efforts, helping to raise tens of millions of euros for those at risk.

Just saw this, Angelina's voice has been touched by the soul of God.

I'll add to the shoe story. She was 6, in Iran, it was cold, she met a little girl who was a street vendor and talked to her, probably in Farsi (Iranian). She ended up giving her her beloved green boots. She then went back to Norway and wrote in her diary (yes, this 6 year old had a diary) that when she did this a door opened in her heart and she climbed a stairway to heaven. "It is such great thing to help another person." After that she vowed to perform barefoot to remind us that there are children in need. She has since raised millions for kids' charities. She then wrote a book about this, illustrated by her grandmother, and became the youngest published author in Norway. Just your average 6 year old--genius.

exactly. thx a lot.

Angelina,The Barefoot Princess, English is her 3rd language. She leaned to read English from around 6, read the lyrics while singing. Incredible.

Angelina Jordan is a Norwegian singer who rose to fame in 2014, as an 8-year-old, by winning the reality TV show Norway’s Got Talent. Her performance in the competition’s audition round, where she had sung Billie Holiday’s version of Gloomy Sunday that was composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress in 1933, had gone viral and received global press …

All children over there are taught English in school and speak it very well. Most of the people speak more than 3 languages over there.

We're all "feeling good," now. Because we just listened to Angelina sing...

When I watch this girl it feels like I wasted my childhood 😂

Hi, AJ was 6 yo, when traveling with her mommy in Iran, the home country of grandma, there she met a barefoot girl with scars on her feet, It was bittercold winter and that girl, about 7 yo, was weighing people for a few coppers, so she could feed her younger siblings. Her mom and the older brother had succumbed to a disease. Very long story short, Angelina gave the girl her shoes and told her to NEVER give up. AJ had a sort of realevation and after the girl told her she would pray for AJ every day, AJ vowed to go on stage barefoot until every child wears shoes. AJ gathered between 20 to 30 MILLION Dollars since then for charity. Stay save and healthy. German greetings.

This beautiful young lady with the golden voice speaks 4 languages, writes, arrange her music and now 15yrs old has signed with Republic Records having full control of every aspect of her music she creates.

Hi guys! thanks for reaction to Angelina. For current age matters just have to know she was born on January 10th 2006. See you in next reacts! Peace & Hugfs from Barcelona - SPAIN

It's about Angelina, no one else, lol. She's the best

Angelina has helped raise millions for charities.

I just find it most interesting when other reactors to AJ make the statement that she knows how to pick a song that suits her voice. At that point you understand they have not explored her other performances, if they had, they would know she has no boundaries. AJ takes any song, no matter what the genre and make it her own.

She is building bridges between generations

In short she came across a shoeless girl in Iran and after a conversation she gave the girl her shoes..she vowed to perform barefoot until all kids have shoes to wear..she has raised millions for charity and has helped feed the homeless in LA. Please read her audio book Mellom To Hjerte...Between Two Heatts wher she talks about the meeting.

At 10 she had been singing for 8 years. She's an expert and arranges all her own music. She was introduced to jazz and blues by her grandmother at a very young age and she immersed herself in that. It is her most basic foundation and it comes out in most everything she does. Her "Leaked" demo song, I'm Still Holding Out For You, also done at 10 is phenomenal.

There is no repeating or mimicking with Angelina. She makes every song here own.

I have heard about this young lady, but until now, have not been blessed with hearing her sing. I look forward to learning more and hearing more from her. She is incredible.

Yes her voice is only growing stronger each year. Vocal coaches say for at least ten more years before she even reaches her vocal peak.

She's stand in the middle of the stage like in her living room doing serious homework, so sit back I'll be done soon! and the timing with the band, really!

Thats amazing!

The shoe thing, she was 6 years old in the Middle East and met a little girl on the street. Said she wouldn’t wear shoes while performing until all children had shoes. She gave the little girl the shoes she was wearing. English is her third language out of five, yet she has no accent whatever when speaking English.

She's been singing jazz since she was 1-1/2. She mentions this on The View when she was 8 years old.

This performance always impresses me for being impeccable, the voice, the timbre, the lightness and the extreme professionalism of a 10-year-old girl. The fact that Angelina accompanied by this high-level band and clearly she commands everything with her vocals, it's a precocity ... genius.

Nice reaction

Angelina has written a book about her childhood travels where she describes the small girl in Iran. She is also the youngest person in Norway to publish.

As you are doing reactions to Angelina's music, please respect this young artist by including the links to her original song and her YT channel to support her. Love your reactions to the barefoot Angel and I am sure her millions of fans would appreciate the links on your channel. Thank you. BTW, yes she has grown...6 foot now at 15

Tom, you appreciate how good she is. Sara, your impassivity at her performance and especially at her last run was startling to me.

her and her grandma were out for a walk and they ran into a young homeless girl without any shoes. Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the little. She swore from that day that she would not wear shoes for her shows until all the children had shoes. She supports many charities that provide clothing for children. A very young philanthropist

That ending is awesome ❤ A 10 year old did that.. the control and effortless is crazy 👍❤

Angelina appears comfortable in any genre but at heart, she's a very skillful jazz singer. That colours all her performances. This may be my favourite Angelina performance. It's perfect in every way; the band, the set-up, the sound, and her. Perfect.

She speaks 5 languages...Norwegian, English, Japanese, Farsi, and one more...(German/French)? Someone will let you know. She was also Norway's youngest published author at age of 9.

She definitely knows some Swedish too since her father is from Sweden.

She has so much experience already. She was 6 when she for the first time recorded I who have nothing. She´s now 16 when she sang I´m still holding out to you. That gives you one perspective of her as a singer. Because she has always delivered through these 10 years. And to listen to her with her voice that always is "in tune", it´s strong, she´s famous for her typical growls and vibrato. My first reaction when I heard, I put a spell on you. Was like so many else. "what I hear and watch is not physically possible". But now I have taken a more humble approach to A J. She will shine like a beacon over the years in the future. I only do hope people want to tare her apart like the music industry did with Avicii.

you almost got the story: She sings barefoot because when she was traveling through a poor country when she saw a little girl like her without shoes and she gave her the ones she was wearing. She won't wear shoes when she sings until all children have shoes. :)

She have said in early interview that she NEVER gets nervous, as she go into her own beautiful world while performing. I belive her...

This is my first time in your channel. Angelina is a big favorite of mine too. I love voices that are different and original. She's definitely gifted and a very special human being. Like an old soul, I might say. But this time I would like to recommend one of my favorite groups. I'm talking about the Korean band BTS. Have you ever listened to them? Would you consider giving them a chance? I'm sure you won't be disappointed, they're a group of 7 South Korean young men. Truly talented, very well trained singers with a surprising versatility. Among other things, they sing, write, compose and produce a lot of their music, their songs have deep meanings and talk about important social issues. They are young but they've been around for 8 years now. They are very professional artists, great performers with angelical voices and quite enchanting. They do a lot of genres so I guess you'll find a song that fits your personal taste. Here are the links for 3 of their songs: Life goes on, a song of hope during these pandemic times: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2mll8-TksiZhps.html .

Great reaction Tom ! Your wife has an excellent understanding of how young artists are influenced by what they hear and they tend to adapt their singing styles around that ! Angelina from the time she was born was heavily influenced by jazz that was played in her household ! That's why she is able to sing this style so effortlessly because it's natural to her ! Not to many young artists will sing jazz I guarantee that ! At 10 yrs old Angelina is a season veteran when it comes to performing ! She is confident in her own skin and it shows ! At 15 her voice is so mature that you she can sing so many different genres naturally and effortlessly ! Thank you for your continued support of our barefoot princess it is so much appreciated ! Keep enjoying the A J journey and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

Up in time, back in time, anytime, Angelina is great all the time. Thank you for another reaction of Angelina the genre queen. Thumbs up you two, super job.

I love listening to your wife. She is so soft and sincere and honest in her speaking!

Loved the reaction! Recommend her The show must go on cover (13), and her very own song Million Miles (14, black and white studio version) which she wrote to her grandpa who passed away.

Just bring Sarah to moore of the AJ reactions, please! Much Love 💙💛💙

At 10 yo I have no words to say she's incredible

Pure empathy was the reason for performing barefoot. This lead to "grounding", creating more empathy. The ultimate feedback loop.

She is now world class

She really is the complete package. She is a good and generous person, a hard working professional/artist, family member, activist. I could have kept going on, but bottom line, she has done more for others and the world of song than I can fathom at the ripe old age of 15. Thanks for the great reaction and commentary.

Excellent reaction, glad you had the better half with you it was very enjoyable! God Bless!

Great reaction. Loved your comments and observations. Keep the AJ reactions coming. Thanks.

To hear current songs at her age 15, you can try the following A million miles... Original 7th Heaven music video... Original All I Ask by Adele... Cover Heal the World by Michael Jackson... Cover You cannot go wrong with any of these, but I would recommend Heal the World to start because it is so appropriate for today's world.

Welcome back Sarah. Love it when you are able to join the Angelina's journey with Tom. Thank you both so much for your reactions.

She’s a wonder, and even younger than ten she arranged her music which is amazing! Thanks guys❤️

Thanks for your delightful reactions with Angelina. This is definitely one of her best covers, for me. That at the age of 10 only, on stage, so small and young and positioned right between an excellent band and the audience, she is able to calmly face the song and pour such vocal and emotional power into it, is absolutely incredible. Her particular depth of voice, her personal reading about her how to set the interpretation, the wonderful use of vibrato and the ending of her interpretation are exceptional, for intuition and execution. You can choose any of her interpretations, they are all fantastic and completely different, every time she takes a good song, no matter the author or the genre, and rebuilds it in her way ... builds a new masterpiece.💛 🧡 ❤️

Even at 7 in Norway's Got Talent she was barefoot. She was only six when she gave her favourtite shoes to a little girl who had none and she never wear shoes when performing. She speaks a number of languages, Her grandmother is an Iranian artist and her grandfather was Japanese. Her father is Swedish. She also plays a number of instruments, and she arranges all her songs. Band members call her Boss.

Angelina, for something completely different one of five versions of somertime 2016 with a full orchestra and so slowed down. This displayes her versatility.

Hi there. And thanks a lot for yet another great reaction to Angelina. Yes, she is 15 now ( birthday January 10th).

Just beautiful.

Just to let you know, she gave the shoes off her own feet, one of her favorite pairs, when she was 6 to another girl her own age who didn’t have shoes. She also wrote a book about that experience making her the youngest published author in Norway. She not only sang at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, she has raised and given huge sums of money to children’s causes and charities. She does nothing you would expect from a person her age!

Nice fun going on here.

Best description - so Bad Ass!

This is a song from a British musical in early 1960ies. There exists many versions of the song. AJ sings the Awicii verdion. His version was used for a Volvo commercial were he mixed 9 year old AJ into his existing version.

Here is a chronological playlist of 145 songs spanning ages 6 to 15! kzread.info/head/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO

No Shoes, Angelina’s Mother is from Norway, Daddy Swedish, Granny Irani and Grandpa was Japanese, so English is her fifth language because if she was to become a singing star she had t0 sing in English. Around age 6 the family lived in Iran for six months and one day AJ saw a homeless girl, her age, weighing people on a bathroom scale for whatever coins they would give her. AJ talked to her for a while and the girl told her she had wanted to become a Doctor. AJ told her to not give up hope. AJ had on her most favorite pair of Teal color boots but gave them to her anyway. The girl was reluctant to take them but eventually did saying she would pray everyday for AJ and all the kids with no shoes. AJ told her that when she saw her singing with no shoes, she would know that AJ had not forgot about her and would do whatever she could for the other children. When AJ got back to Norway she wrote a book about it. Her Granny, a Prodigy herself Illustrated the book and AJ became the youngest published arthor in Norways history at age 6.

SORRY people, me again, info: AJ STUDIES music ant the music academies in Oslo and LA since age 4 (FOUR). She wanted earlier, but they accepted her when four. Studying music means all genres including clasics like opera. As you talked about her language, GRIN, she speaks fluently, Norse, Swedish, English, Farsi and Japanese. German and French she knows a few words. Her music instruments are the piano/keyboard and the guitar, it is said, that she also playes the flute and the violin. So this young lady with a tremendous amount of IQ is a genius in more than one way, and no, this are facts. YES I am a fanboy. LOL. Bless you and your family, German greetings.

You have no idea. At 15 her voice is phenomenal and is still maturing. Her technical skill is masterful. Everything is so effortless for her which means she works very hard on every single note she sings until it is absolutely perfect. Should hear her covering “When You Believe” by Whitney Houston ft. Mariah Carey kzread.info/dash/bejne/p3WguNyCaJCbmLQ.html

Take your wife to hear her at 7 doing a cover of “Bang Bang”, a Cher cover. Also, “Summertime”.

She met a young shoeless girl in Africa, whose feet were of course messed up & she gave her her shoes. She vowed never to wear shoes while performing until all kids in the world had a pair.
