Her victory was accompanied by a prize of 500,000 crowns. Reflecting on her transformative stage presence, Angelina shared in an interview with TV 2, “When I sing, I transform into a different person. It was like a beautiful dream.”
Angelina’s success captured international attention, with media outlets such as People, Time Magazine, The Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, The San Francisco Globe, The Hollywood Reporter, CNN, and Brazil’s O Globo covering her triumph.

In the same year as her Norske Talenter victory, Angelina performed at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. Her fame expanded globally after her appearance on the American television show The View in September 2014, where she performed “Fly Me to the Moon,” originally written by Bart Howard in 1954 and famously associated with Frank Sinatra.
