context_page_description: Angelina Jordan is a Norwegian child singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talent at the age of seven, singing "Gloomy Sunday" in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online, and led to worldwide press coverage. She went on to win the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
  Jordan has released multiple digital singles, two EPs, and one album called It's Magic, but refused offers to be signed to any record label while she was growing up. She appeared on the first season of Little Big Shots in 2016, and the second season of America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. In August 2020, her manager announced that she has signed with Republic Records.
context_section_description: After Jordan's performances on Norway's Got Talent went viral online, she was featured in People, Time, The Mirror, and other news outlets around the world. She also realized a personal ambition by performing for Peace Prize recipients Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi at the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
  In September 2014, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the US television show The View, bringing her wider fame in the United States. She also performed on several TV 2 programs in Norway over the next few years, including multiple appearances on Allsang på Grensen (Singalong at the Border, referring to the border fortress of Fredriksten where outdoor concerts are held) and on TV4 in Sweden.
  Jordan had a small guest role in the final episode of the Netflix series Lilyhammer, playing a girl who sings in a bar.
  In April 2016, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the first season of the noncompetitive children's talent show Little Big Shots. A year later she performed "What a Difference a Day Makes" on the UK version of the show.
  In December 2016, she performed on Alan Walker is Heading Home, a live concert broadcast from Bergen, Norway, where she sang Walker's songs "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded".
  On 27 June 2018, Jordan performed "Fly Me to the Moon" for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London, as part of his 85th birthday celebration.
  In 2019, Jordan performed for former president Barack Obama and other public figures at the Brilliant Minds conference in Stockholm.
  In 2020, she competed in the second season of America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her first appearance on the show, singing an original arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", received a "golden buzzer" from judge Heidi Klum (meaning that Jordan would pass directly into the finals). As with her Norway's Got Talent audition six years earlier, the video of Jordan's performance began to go viral, and garnered praise from Queen's official Twitter account. Shortly afterwards, the video was taken down from the show's official YouTube channel and Jordan released a studio version of the same arrangement under her own copyright. Jordan's second performance (in the finals), a similarly reworked "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", was also well received, but she did not make the top 5.
