Rasputin - AURORA Reaction with Mike & Ginger 

She made a folk song out of it. Its effing great. That smile she had at the end... just have to love Aurora.

Aurora makes every cover she does her own song. I actually had never heard of that song before. I had to go listen to the original. I was very surprised. I did wonder why she didn't sing all the lyrics, but that's not unusual for her either. She does like to interpret things her own way. I really liked it. She makes even songs I don't like better. If was fun. And I always feel like I'm in an alternate universe when I'm listening to Aurora. That's just her way

Love her cover of it, she makes everything magical.

Such a fun cover. Love the folky vibe and the Pentangle like air to it. The harmonies are spot on as always.

I totally get Mike here. Aurora started by highlighting the old Russian folk music vibes that Bonney M used as the skeleton for their outrageous showpiece from the 70s. But after the "ba-di-ra-di-ra" section one can see it in her eyes. She knows this is just a silly funny song as she embraces it. (My parents who discovered this thing called "charter holidays" back in the 70s - falling in love with Bonney M live shows down in Benidorm during the days when shoes and pants, shirts and jackets were outrageous compared to pretty much everything in human history) This is vibing so hard with Aurora's humour, which is hard for reactors to pick up on. Her songs are deep and sad, serious and often brutally beautiful. But as a person, she is truly exceptionally funny (in her Scandinavian/British understated and deadpan way). That smile at the end is precious - saying to me: "You did not really think I would lull this silly song into some Aurora existential seriousness, now did you? - Gotcha" Thanks for the giggles on this Friday M&G.

she really is extraordinary

4:02 - Magnus having a blast. Wonderful reaction, Aurora had _a lot_ of fun doing this and singing those lyrics (as you can clearly see. :) She mentioned that they only had 15 minutes to rehearse the cover. (The) P3 (studio) is where Aurora performed the God is a Woman cover, Believer, Animal Soul, and several others. Usually these kinds of covers are given to the artists shortly before the appearance as a neat little “challenge.” I think it’s been explained better under previous videos. Some people think Aurora is Very Serious… well… no. Not so much. Another reason the cover is such a nice “surprise”. :) Hope you’ll find a few minutes to get back to Susanne Sundfør (it’s been a little while), Highasakite, and maybe Sigrid (who has a new-ish song out). Cheers!

Everything she touch turns to gold!Even if we talk for a world class disco pop song or about an out of this world mid tempo song by david bowie ...Every little thing she does is magic!

👏🇳🇴👏 I think this is the playfull Aurora we see here.... And I love it!

Aurora's folky style is delicious. Soooothing and fun!! Great reaction as always you two!!

Totally loved that cover. Finally heard all the lyrics. More Birkenstock than platform boots.

What to expect? A beautiful folky version from Aurora. Yesss.

I love, love, love it😍😍😍 this is so good

What an absolutely beautiful cover. Then again I think everything Aurora does is absolutely beautiful she really sings to your soul. Thanks again to both of you for creating such awesome content. You know I’m a huge fan of yours 💯. Sending you both much love & blessings all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 love ♥️🌹🙏🏼 you guys.

So interesting and cool how she brought out the folk elements in a song that I never thought of as folk!

Was a great reaction. 😁 It's amazing how only the musical part of a song has to be changed, that it conveys a completely different mood, even though the lyrics are the same. Aurora did a great job again. Aurora has now talked more about the upcoming album, which will be more cheerful. But it is rather interesting that she has already talked about the following album. In it, she will then deal more intensively with death. Is one of the topics that has occupied her since her youngest years.

I did not know she made this cover. It really good!

Aurora never bad,always awesome ❤✌

Loved this one from the very first moment I have heard it... Aurora is a bit like King Midas... as far as covers are concerned, everything she touches (musically), turns to gold.

I keep wanting to sing Dolly Parton's Jolene to the chorus of this version.

The dress and the way she sings this song honestly gave off Dolly Parton vibes. And I don’t know why I love it though

My late mother loved this song, it always reminds me of her and Aurora does it justice.

Loved the folk tune feel to it. Reminded me a bit of Dolly Parton =)

Nice the way that song seemed it was hers even if not her type of song

I think you guys would love to watch her cover "Scarborough Fair". She did when she came to Brazil and it was amazing! Also, i would LOVE to see you guys react to "AURORA - The Seed [NatGeo Earth Day Eve 2021]" or "AURORA HAIK Full Version".

The guitar probably reminds you of the music composed by Morricone for the spaghetti westerns staring Clint Eastwood

Love Mike reaction 👍💯🙏🙏❤️

Have you heard Auroras cover of Leonard Cohen Famus Blue Raincoat? As canadian you have to check it up. It’s here on RU-vid from a concert in honor of him … think it’s NRK .

Here you are The Dyamic Duo always good to see ya and yes I used to go to the Sauna with my associates on Fridays and there was BonniM singin Rasputin and we watched the vid as we sipped our scotch and then back to the oven and sweat out.....staying healthy kindof And this Aurora version is lovely, kinda Folkish.....and check her princess dress, and with white sportshoes! she's so freaking cute. Well Rasputin was a hell of a character, and the Romanoffs had a very tragic and sad end, and the Zarine, she definitely was having a rotten time and they planted on her being the Weird Monk's lover like the cherry i the pie Aurora is even lighter than the real thing that is cool no need for downers chau chicos!

To me, her rendition had Loreena McKennitt vibes with the ballad quality. As always, she rocked the cover that P3 gave her. :D

love it ❤️❤️❤️

Aurora Warrior at Paste is a great one too

This is «storytelling» Aurora. Just like her version of Into the Unknown

Unexpected but great. i wonder if there was limited time for cover (I know that previous one in P3 was made in a short time. Someone confirmed such thing in previous comments. Where she said about 15 minutes?

The Boney M song Rasputin is my favorit "disco" song from the 70's...... love that song so this will be fun

this is why we play and listen to World music from all artists, lands and cultures....why are you still sitting? get up and dance!

This song was good in the day but the radio stations played the grooves off the record and ended up hating it. Don’t mind this version though ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺

Nice hair decoration G!

Definitely took the cheesy side of the song out of it. Just beautiful. Everything Aurora does is perfect

There was some instant deja vu here, some similaritous with her majesty Dolly Parton herself in some parts from her most famous song Jolene. Not complaining though:) So it is a hidden double cover :)

I don't know if this is as appearant for non-scandis, but the vocalization part reminds me of the bandit song from the Ronja Rövardotter film from 1984.

Jolene vibes … great cover

Try not to cry challenge? 🥲🙂 The Avett Brothers - Ballad of Love and Hate (live) Tool - Wings for Marie pt.1 & pt.2 Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow, Wendy Band of Horses - No one’s gonna love you Iron & Wine - The Trapeze Swinger Chris Cornel - Nothing Compares to you Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

Thanks

wowowow! There's a Putin in Rasputin! Only disco shit I ever bowed to. What a take! Thanks!

I definitely like this better than the original!

I had thoughts of the song Jolene when i heard this one.. :)

Kudos to the songwriters. Tuirisa's version is also great.

Plz plz plz...react to Aurora's cover 'The famous blue raincoat' orginal by cohen. Plzzzzzz react..

This one is also not in your Aurora playlist (Just a heads up)

Listen to Beste Zangers 2021 Anneke van Giersbergen "Sobreviviré". She translated it into english or listen to Karsu "Hije de la luna". You will love both these songs.
