Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges was, at the time of this tribute, on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". "Unchained Melody" comes from the film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release.

I'm super happy to see you again, because for your age, you're plain and simply DIFFERENT. And it is fairly obvious to me that different attracts different. I guess you understand what I mean by that. And I agree with you, in this one Angelina again does what SHE wants to do with it, not what others MIGHT want her to do. She's never been one to show off anything, despite her undeniable skills and qualities. She's DIFFERENT. See ?😉 Btw, that documentary you spoke about, called "Angelina Jordan - 10 Years In The Making" is a PRIME video, and one you should definitely react to, particularly given all the reactions you have done to her so far. That docu is bound to teach you EVEN better who Angelina is and what she stands for. The executive producer is her mother, Sara Astar, and the whole thing is absolutely beautiful. I'd really appreciate if you would react to it, it would definitely make my day. And I'm not just saying that. I mean it. I hope you've had a wonderful Easter, and I wish you a great week ahead. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

No matter how many times I experience Angelina's performance here I get chill bumps, my eyes tear up...I am moved.

We have missed you! Nobody but you calls our Princess "White Chocolate..." missed that!

Angelina also performed Unchained Melody at her spectacular Las Vegas concerts. Please consider reacting to Angelina Jordans mesmerizing unforgettable performances at her historic concerts at the Westgate in Las Vegas on Feb.29th. Angelina has a treasure chest of masterpieces, but she must be experienced live to get the full effect of her greatness! The band was awesome and let Angelina's magical vocals wow everyone in the audience. There are 4k video and hi rez audio by Merrilee Gaines of some of Angelina Jordan's performances from this concert including the must watch One Moment in Time, and her new anthem masterpiece Princess of Ruins which is about why she sings barefoot in every performance on stage. Other spectacular videos of this concert by James Thiel of some of Angelina's performances from this concert including Diamonds are Forever, Hero, When We Were Young, Mercy, Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) and Suspicious Minds, and All I Ask also BigAngieFan has 4k Princess of Ruins, Moon River, Stay, and My Funny Valentine!

This performance is a Masterpiece by both Angelina & the KORK Orchestra. You should watch that video you mentioned about 10 years in the making. It's great & will bring you up to date on her career.

Glad you enjoyed it, Dame. Like you said, Angelina's a pro. She knew the setting and Nobel Peace Prize circumstances here. And the fact that she had an entire orchestra behind her (an orchestra that she'd worked with in the past, even). Her job wasn't to belt this song into oblivion or to riff and melisma all over it; her job was to sing like the Angel she is, and she did just that. Hope to see you back reacting to Angelina again soon! 👼

They kept this rendition subdued because of the occasion. Angelina and KORK (Norwegian Radio Orchestra) just did a magnificent rendition of Unchained Melody! The perfect song for Narges Mohammadi Nobel Peace Prize! Third time with KORK, she did Back to Black and Summertime when she was 10! Has been invited twice to Nobel Peace Prize, previously appeared when she was eight! Narges is in jail for leading the fight for women’s rights in Iran! And let’s not forget Angelina’s Iranian heritage and Oslo is her hometown! At the end Angelina puts her hand over her heart acknowledging Narges children who were on stage and happen to be Angelina’s age and are living in exile in France! Nobel Peace Prize is presented in Oslo, Norway and the others I believe are presented in Stockholm, Sweden. Angelina has been known for her lower register from an early age! She is so talented there is a behind the scenes video of her working with the director of KORK and a pianist doing the arrangement for this performance. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gpOXtqmMkaW8etI.htmlsi=0uE48FOz9QB15QyI She crushed the ending! Would recommend her new unreleased original song: Princess of Ruin! Angelina debuted the song at her recent Las Vegas, Nevada concert, she tells the story why she wrote the song! Would recommend letting her videos play to the end, you will miss little nuances that are so important to who she is as a person and vocalist! 🇳🇴🇺🇸

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. As usual, a vocal master piece. 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 KZread. 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 KZread 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 KZread 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 KZread. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On KZread, 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 has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. 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 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi. On february 29, 2024 she had two concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada,on the Elvis stage.

Excellent reaction to this young superstar in the making.❤

Thank you DAME for a great reaction. You understood her desire to perform this version of Unchained Melody to fit the purpose of the event. You have always provided thoughtful and considerate reactions to AJ.

The Queen of song on stage !!!

A beautiful performance , her low register is tremendous .❤

We are so blessed to be able to experience her, she so deserves it, I have been following her for 4 years when I found her on AGT The Campions. Now I have to listen to it every day, it's part of my daily routine. For me she is like a healthy drug that my mind cries out for. She's 18 now and still getting better live, she's a superpower. There are over 200 cover songs by her that are mostly better than the original as well as 14 originals that she wrote and there are still over 100 songs written by her in the drawer waiting to be released so we still have a lot to look forward to . Greetings from Germany (translated by Google)

Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize Dec. 2024 This is Angelina Jordan the most extraordinary storyteller in my lifetime. Unchained Melody (AJ, at the age of 17 performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony December 2023 in Oslo, Norway.)I watched as Angelina Jordan stepped onto the stage, her presence commanding attention. The room hushed, anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate thread. She stood there, a young girl with an old soul, ready to weave magic with her voice. As the first notes of "Unchained Melody" filled the room, time seemed to slow. Angelina's voice wrapped around each word, infusing them with a depth that transcended mere lyrics. It was as though the song had been written for her, and her alone. The audience held its breath as she sang. Her voice soared, reaching heights that touched the heavens. The pain and longing in her eyes mirrored the emotions in the song-the heartache, the yearning. It was more than a performance; it was a revelation. The chorus came, and Angelina's voice swelled, filling every corner of the room. " Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch," she sang, and suddenly, we all felt the real meaning of the words. The magic in her performance was like nothing we had ever experienced in our lives. The lyrics came alive and had meaning as they flowed through us. In that moment, Angelina Jordan became a vessel for something greater-an embodiment of love itself. Her voice carried us beyond our own pain and loneliness. We felt connected-to her, to each other, to something intangible yet profound. As she held that final note, time snapped back into place. The applause erupted-a thunderous acknowledgment of what we had just witnessed. But it wasn't just applause; it was gratitude-for allowing us to glimpse love and longing through Angelina's eyes. And so, we stood there, hearts full, tears in our eyes. Angelina Jordan had given us something rare-a reminder that love exists even in our brokenness. And for those few minutes, we believed it with every fiber of our being. ©

The most Beautiful version I’ve ever heard! Stunning!👌🌟💎🌟❤️

Heads up: your AJ playlist needs to be updated. I count 37 reactions to her on your channel but only 13 in your playlist for her.

Super reaction to an Amazing performer. Angelina just finished a one night 2 shows sold out in Vegas.

Great reaction to the greatest version of Unchained Melody that has ever been performed in its existence since it was written in 1955 and performed by more than 1000 great vocalists.

Every time I hear the KORK Orchestra begin playing, I feel a surge of emotion because I know what is coming next: the most amazing rendition of Unchained Melody by the incomparable Angelina Jordan. She has a voice of an angel and a talent beyond words. Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 Some ask why Angelina Jordan would pick Unchained Melody for this event, Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist who received the prestigious award remains in Iran. One of the most popular and enduring love songs of all time, Unchained Melody, has a surprising origin. It was composed for a 1955 film called Unchained, which tells the story of a man who is incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. He yearns to be free and reunite with his wife and children, who are waiting for him outside. The song captures his emotions of loneliness, hope and longing, and has been covered by many artists over the years, but none in my lifetime of 76 years have conveyed such emotion as Angelina Jordan did at this performance. © Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 (the charity work of Angelina Jordan is only one of the many things that makes her so special.)

😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰

A masterpiece from the master of soul and jazz, I imagine Angelina is so excited and humbled to be in her home country with the Norwegian Kork orchestra, not the first time Angelina has performed at the Nobel Peace event, she performed there in 2014 when she was 8-9 years old, with the song ( What A wonderful world), Also Angelina her collaborated with the Norwegian Kork Orchestra before, once when Angelina was 10 years old with her arrangement of ( Back to Black) and another time with her arrangement of ( Summertime) also at 10 years old, great reaction thanks 🙏

I did like Bobby's version until I heard this and I did hear Bobby sing it a in live venue at the beach in Newport Beach California had to stand about 15 feet away from the stage, too bad he died so young from cocain poisoning.

🥰🥰🥰🥰

👍🏼🎼🤗💞

Awesome reaction thank you wild bill she is the best ❤❤❤

First, and foremost, I was a fan of the Righteous Brothers, but the cover that Bobby Hatfield did was not good. Hatfield took one of the most beautiful ballads and jazzed it up without the respect that it deserved. On the other hand, Angelina Jordan slowed the tempo down, and with her ethereal signature storytelling voice she paid honor to this timeless serenade making the finest rendition of Unchained Melody I have ever experienced in all my 76 years. ©
