Vocal Coach/Musician Reacts: AURORA Life on Mars! 

I was there in the tiny audience, it was pure magic

In a world of copy paste artists and "do whatever has succeded before" it is so refreshing seeing someone that is completely different and so very much them selves.

Please react to AURORA's album: "Infections of a different kind" and "a different kind of human" (2-staged album) I absolutely love it and I'm sure you will. There are no fillers. Every song is unique in its own way and has so many different elements to unpack which I think you will shine at.

hi nina, please do listen to aurora's live performance of 'it happened quiet' in nidarosdomen :) it's so ethereal and wonderful, would love your take on it.

I love watching vocal coaches react to Aurora, because you can see them at first thinking they are gonna teach us something, but instead you see them learning things they didn't know, and didn't expect. Humbling hm?

The sadness and fragility within the human condition written so brilliantly in the lyrics by Bowie are brought to the forefront in Aurora's version. Breaks my heart every time in the best way possible.

AURORA made me believe again in this new generation of artists. She's absolutely amazing! Could you react to one of her original songs? I recommend you "it happened quiet" 😊

you absolutely have to react to her own songs, she is an eminent songwriter too: "through the eyes of a child", "the seed", "queendom"," worrior", etc,etc. And i will recomend you to listen to some of the many interviews of her, she is a very wise and funny girl.

"I wasn't expecting that" seems to be the theme regarding Aurora!

When you hear and see her, you know she's on another -far, far away- level. Words no more are needed. We're are lucky to live in her era.

Forget all your over sexualised mainstream artists aurora is in a different class,she is what the art of music is all about,if you want to find out the real aurora check out her own songs.they take you on her journey, a deep insight of every emotion.simply put her songwriting is on a different level her words draw you into a place where you think deeply about life itself.this girl is special.welcome to our Queendom.

Really good reaction. She has a lot of integrity in her approach to covering other artists. This was another enchanting performance.

I strongly recommend her insanely incredible NPR Tiny Desk studio performance (in some library) where she does 3 if her early songs... she's about 19 or so at the time of the performance and it's really a showcase of her vocal talent (her and her old acoustic guitarist/backing vocals)

Her 2019 Haik concert is astounding.

Anything from her performance at nadirosdomen is just awesome. Really shows her talent. She's really become a guilty pleasure musically for me.

I recommend Aurora's cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack. Its brilliant.

Through the Eyes of a Child live version. Aurora is a treasure.

Really loved this reaction! And I completely agree, she focuses on the small things that make the big difference and make it her own. Looking forward to more Aurora reactions!! ☺

Beautiful rendition, her eyes are captivating. I recommend you for the next one "AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1)" at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vh0SWTVwXxw.html ].

Love Aurora. She is very good at describing the small, fragile and brittle thing in my heart.

Well done. I would add my voice to those requesting you react to Aurora's prodigious body of original work. She lives in her own world musically and repeatedly says in interviews that she doesn't really listen to a lot of other people's work. She does covers well (check out her Massive Attack and Beatles covers on Triple J). And if you want to see Aurora's power vocals then the Seed or Queendom would be something to assess.

I can't wait for you to react to her songs next!

this is my favourite cover of all time

I am surprised Nina is covering an Alternative Pop artist. Very refreshing. We need them, not all the time the manufactured Pop artists like Little Mix and Arania Grande.

I'm so glad you're covering Aurora. Would love to hear your opinion on her original content. ESPECIALLY Infections of a Different Kind (Step I) and Different Kind Of Human (Step II). Some of the most ambitious and crowd pleasing alt-pop since Lorde. They're the total package; incredible vocals to dissect and production that you'll get lost in. Step I is a quick listen too. Every song on it is perfect IMO.

She's just treasure. And what a voice, amazing

I am always mesmerized by her beautiful vocal, song writing and performing abilities. Beautiful music. Her songs are in my head all day.

Love this ❤️ Cant wait for more AURORA

For a "better" Aurora version, I would say you should check out the songs she sings at the Nidaros concert. She sings this song there too, a whole lot better than here.

Yeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!! 😄 Now go for the Albums and then more live performances.

Lovely reaction Nina, Thanks ;-)

Try reacting to some of her OWN songs.. theyre amazing.

Thank u so much! If you want to react to her on live: -It Happened Quiet live on Niradosmen. If you want to react to her songs and music videos: -Runaway

Please listen to her albums Infections of A Different Kind and A Different Kind of Human - they are two "steps" of one project, and I'm sure you'll love them. If looking for a single song, please look at "It Happened Quiet" live at Nidarosdomen

Aurora is above all herself. She proves it with her rendition of this song, wich is one of my favourite Bowie songs.

I tear up every single time i listen to the second chorus of this cover. It just gives me goosebumps

I was waiting for this!

Wow this was so beautiful!!!

You’ll love her albums !

Try Nat Cole's Nature Boy next. She's got an ability to interpret a song that I haven't heard in a long time. I read an interview she did quite sometime ago where she stated that she really didn't know what she was doing that she was self taught. It would have been around the time of this performance. She still says that she never had being an artist as an ambition, she kind of got discovered by accident. To quote Bob Ross Happy Accidents. I don't know if there's something in the water in Bergen Norway but the amount of quality talent coming out of that city is unreal.

I extremely recommend her cover of Into the Unknown. It's the most beautiful thing i've ever heard

please continue to react to Aurora. i have exhausted the supply of low quality react vids out there. my favorite is it happened quiet (live at the current)!!

You should try Believer cover by AURORA its awesome

Aurora's voice is just so mellifluous

Please react to Infections of a Different Kind ♥️♥️♥

You should listen to her concert in Nidarosdomen

That was great to watch! I'd known AURORA for a while now but had not come across that particular performance yet. Amazing vocals, as usual; It's like an Angel singing 😇 And she's actually even better on the keys than I'd thought, especially considering she's self-taught! 😀

I just love your reaction :-)

Nina, I watched this video only because I subscribe to you and love your excellent breakdown of the artists you review. This was beautiful! So glad I watched this today! I’m a fan!❤️

Great reaction Nina! Please could you react to AURORA's 'Infection of a Different Kind- Step 1', I think you will love it 😀

please react to her original stuff. shes a amazing songwriter

Also react to her albums!!!!! Pure art💕

Love her rendition of one of my favorite songs. She has the skill to make that sound unmistakably Aurora in the same was as Johnny Cash did with the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt.

As I watch all these reaction videos of vocal coaches, more and more I notice their shock, but I feel like they shouldn't be shocked. Singing used to mean something back in Bowie's and Lennon's times, and it was about conveying a meaning and a story... It was about singing your heart out and making each song your own and then sing almost as if your not singing at all, you're talking with a bit of flourishes, but it's like your singing voice is your way of talking naturally, and you're talking to me (the listener of your story)... So it's not about deciding beforehand to do these technical flourishes, it's about practicing a couple of times, completely owning the story behind each line, and then delivering it any natural way it comes out... It's not a outside/in approach, it's the other way around. Thankfully you didn't have this problem as much as your colleagues, and maybe that's why I felt like I can say it to you ... Aurora's doing it normally, it's all those other artists of today that are just singing some words and don't really mean their every word... Whereas it's their job to be imaginative, and paint the picture both in their own mind and in ours ... We should be shocked at ourselves for taking things for granted and forgetting along the way...

An aura around Aurora :D

One too many pauses and a thousand years ago. Aurora is magic.

I subscribe you for Aurora. I love your reaction. You have to react to her live performance and her own songs. She is amazing. And if you really want a challenge as a vocal coach you have to react to Angelina Jordan. She is a camelon, cover stars as Billie Holiday, Adele, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Queen, Elton John .........often better than the original. She is only 14 years old, she won Norway got talent in 2014 then she turned 8 years old through the competition. She has listen to jazz from she was a baby.

I REALLY like your accent!

She is the most exquisite storyteller. Every song of hers draws us completely into it. When the song it through, we have been on a journey and almost have to shake ourselves back to the present. She did another stunning...and somewhat different rendition of Life on Mars at her exquisite Nidarosdomen performance. It was the closing number and had the audience quiet for a good long stretch after the last note as they savored the journey they had just been on. In that performance, you will hear a lot more power in her voice. If you want to hear it for yourself, I would recommend the video that contains the entire concert. The other video, that picked out just that song, has the subtitles in Portuguese instead of English. She does introduce the song. On the full performance video, it begins at 52:23. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XXVwFvkNTEg.html

I recommend "It happened quiet" studio version above al for future vidsl. Great vid btw ^^

Please react to a live video of her own songs. Her best is Aurora "It happened quiet" live at Nidarosdomen!!!!!! Please react to it!!

Great reaction 💙 Please react to her original work, All is soft inside live KEXP and It happened quiet live nidarosdomen with the orchestra are great ones...her energy is different.

please look her first song ,, puppet's at she was 14 or 15 years old.love her

To add to others requests there is also any song of her first album "@", she has written most of them between 9 and 13 yo and for me each one is a masterpiece. :o) Thank you for your accurate, on point and honest reaction. Big hug and Love.

love your reaction, i just found aurora from frozen 2 and now i'am really really admire her. react runaway / murder song from nobel peace prize concert please although all of her song are mesmerizing

It Happened Quiet (Live at Nidarosdomen) hopefully is on youe list.

Aurora is a Goddess, simple as that:-) Like many others have pointed out here, take a look at Aurora's own songs.

You should really check out her performance of this on the Howard Stern show. The power and beauty will truly impress you

FINALLY

She is my Queen of the North :-)

Aurora grew up listening to David Bowie & Leonard Cohen so their music means a lot to her. I have some more Aurora suggestions: Warrior - Live at Past Studios 15/25/18. Animal Soul for P3 Live. Forgotten Love, I like the version on O Globo Newspaper's channel. There is a short bit of talking at the beginning of the video & then at the end theres an interview which is worth watching but you don't have to react to that part if you don't want to. All Is Soft Inside - Verftet Online Music Festival. This performance is from a livestream that happened on 29.03.20 with no audience in attendance due to the Pandemic. (It's the video on Kenzo channel) "Little Boy In the Grass" & "Lucky" - Live in Nidarosdomen About the songs: "Little Boy In the Grass" is for the victims of the Utøya massacre that happened in Norway on 07.22.2011 & for someone who was important to Aurora who died. She would have been 15 at the time the same age as the some of the people who were killed. "Lucky" Aurora wrote it when she was 9 & she says "It's about realizing that you've been through dark tunnels in life, but still walking forward, both feet strong. We are all lucky to be alive, it's an important thing to remember". About the location: Nidarosdomen (Nidaros Cathedral) is a 10th century cathedral of the Church of Norway located in the city of Trondheim. It was built over a 230 year period, from 1070 to 1300. You want the video on Marcin Wieczorkowski channel called: Aurora Live in Nidarosdomen (Timestamps are in the description). Some more covers she's done: Across the Universe (The Beatles) (Live for Like a Version) Teardrop (Massive Attack) (Live for Like a Version).

Why can I imagine Aurora cover Love of My Life by Queen

Aurore does a version og Cohens "famous blue raincoat" at Cohen tribute in Oslo - She made it Aurora

Listen to her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" Truly wonderful.

I'm twinkling...... In the best way possible.

Please react to why don’t we !! ( you can start with their mashups and their acoustic live performances 😊❤️)

Infp vibes

have you checked out anything from 4th impact yet?

I LOVE David Bowie, but this is like putting a beautiful exotic and unic bird in a small cage. When AURORA sings her own music she is so powerfull, she is Gaia, she is an alien, she is all of us. Here she is enjoying singing one of her favorite songs, but she doesn't feel as poweful

I know its just a pug pillow but I keep seeing an actual humungous pug in the background lol

Thanks you was uploaded new video, so l can see you....😅 Good luck for you

You should listen to --> P3 Live: Emilie Nicolas "Feel Fine"

Check out The Current live, It happened quiet! It will rip your shorts off!

Thanks for your great reaction. Would be really cool if you wanted to check out her Imagine Dragons - Believer cover as well! =)

Check this: Jinjer - Perennial Live

React Diana Ankudinova Wicket game, Human, Rechenka, Голосом твоим!!!

Hey Beautiful NINA,have you forgott sigrid

Interesting to see what Cate Blanchett is doing during lockdown...

Could someone please tell me the key she is singing in?

Ahem...I just Luv your Bulldog... Hahaa.

Wardruna and Aurora is something totally different again, but gonna make you feel like being in Scandinavia a long time ago! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FnkTuHP9q3o.html And it seems as if you are one of the only vocal coaches on RU-vid that hasn't reacted to Nightwish yet. I highly recommend it from a singers perspective. Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken is incredible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JYjIlHWBAVo.html

Please react to FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

Those are not her songs those are just warm-up things. You can't stay the same world you live in by hearing her own original songs.
