She does move her arms/body quite a lot when she's singing in other performances I've seen. Seems to really feel the music and expresses it through movement.
When you sing with your hands, playing the piano at the same time is a bit problematic. The piano more of a prop than anything. Also I do appreciate the insertion of the Batman run into the piece...
This was from a radioshow where the artist featured would get to play a couple of their own songs live. But there would also be a suprise cover choosen by the host. They had about an hour to prepare for it.
Silja Sol (back up singer) is amazing. She's also a musician, and an artist herself. I recommend It Happened Quiet, live at The Current, for more Aurora and Silja harmonies.
@@kippys1 yes.... but different reason why ... Aurora tweeks everying to get the right feel, even timing and rythm, so Silja watches her to get the timing right 🙂
@@RunarNyrud There's something "deeper" than just a musical connection between these amazing young ladies. Their voices 'blend' & 'compliment' each others' so well & they're fully engaged with what each other is doing. Aurora's music, most parts, makes me feel happy & inspired & with Silja as her support/back-up singer Aurora couldn't go wrong.
When Aurora was little she used to spend most of her days outside in the Norwegian woods, her mother had a bell she rang when she had to come home for dinner. So you are not wrong, she is our own Norwegian wood elf and we love her for all her quirks and weirdness
It's interesting that you only saw her covers. Personally I loved her Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) at UN Peace Concert and It Happened Quiet at Nidarosdomen
More Aurora, please. The "hand thing" is normal. In fact, she's a lot more expressive. Watch her KEXP session and see for yourself. "All is soft inside" is a good example from that particular session
Oh, definitely! For me KEXP session is Aurora's most vibrant energetic powerful performance, and AISI is the diamond on top of that evening. Among the audience was Bjork, probably Aurora gave 110% for her too.
Aurora is divine - angelic, ethereal, mystifying - i especially love the way she feels the music through her body and her eyes speak volumes....she is totally immersed in the song - she is adorable!!
Spot on reaction. She has stated in interviews that all the movement she makes while performing is b/c she is full of energy. In her early performances it leads to awkward hand movements etc.. But in later performances she grew more comfortable performing and dancing to release the energy.
What you see here is what she is. She IS otherworldly, she IS one of a kind and she has her very personal style when it comes to song compositions, lyrics (poetry), outfits and relations with fans. I fancy your reactions, and would love to see you react to one of her own songs, I suggest Murder Song 54321 from the Nobel Concert 2015 or It Happened Quiet live from Nidarosdomen Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. Both performances show her uniqueness.
Aurora is my secret non-metal pleasure, having discovered here when she duetted with Wardruna. She is so fantastic and reminds me of a Scandinavian Kate Bush with her theatrics. Her voice and delivery are sent from above. Edit: new subscriber here mate, stay safe.
And she also likes metal herself. She mentions Gojira, Mastodon, Tool/APC, and that she stopped being a Metallica fan after dislocating her knee at their concert once.
Ken: the sexual part did not fit her version of the song; so she changed it... I am 90% sure that this version of he song was made for this radio program on short notice. If you look closely you can see a pice of papir on the piano, and Silje (the backup singer) has a papir also. Aurora is DEEPLY in the music... she does not think about what she is doing, she opens up and let it flow.... And you are ABSOLUTELY correct: she "wakes up" after the song, seen this several times. BTW: I have looked at A LOT of reacts video's lately......... You are one of the best... I would suggest reacting to a live preformance, of one of her own songs. The consert from Nidarosdomen are VERY good... ua-cam.com/video/ncG9zTzsisE/v-deo.html
Those movements are her signature. When she sings live, you can see how she feels what she sings through her body . She's so awesome! Please react to her live performance of "Runaway" (nobel peace prize) 😭🙌🏻
The unique cadence and emphasis, and her supernatural tonal control are stunning. Not exactly singing, at least not the way most people do it. She gives me the feeling that I'm watching a living breathing embodiment of music. Have to say, her singing is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Aurora is quite something! So unique and mesmerizing! To my way of thinking, there's an existential beauty and clarity to Aurora's music that seems to emanate from within. Please react to live performances of her own songs. As an example, "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside" from her KEXP performance in Iceland. Or "Infections of a Different Kind" and "The Seed" from her 2019 HAIK concert performed in a forest. She also gave an amazing concert at the Nidaros Cathedral: songs like "It Happened Quiet," "Through the Eyes of a Child," "Little Boy in the Grass," "Lucky" and others.
When I binged on Aurora I then tried to share with another her style/character: elf, fairy or alien. Her interviews hammer that home, she’s of another realm. Cheers!
Thnx, yet again for a smashing good reaction, Ken. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this version of God is a WO-man ;) AURORA is truly unique and 100% herself. at age 6, she found the piano in the attic, and she thought it looked lonely (her sister had stopped her piano lessons) and AURORA started playing with it, and continued playing WITH the piano afterwards. Add to the equation her ability to embody the song, eminate it in a trancelike state, she does the most interesting performances. She's normally not aware of what she does whilst performing, you will notice it more and more as you continue reacting to her music. This version, was created in 1 hr. The radio program they attended here, has this thing, where you, as an artist, showcase a couple of your own songs, and then the host has chosen a song for you to perform a cover of, and you get 1 hr to prepare. ;) Happy Holidays from Arctic Lo-Ve Islands
@@Sandrisph its 100% true, she has legs. I have a friend, whos friend's brother's cousin's girlfriend once said she has actually seen them. Auroras legs, and they were raidiating with magic 😉🌸
@@Sandrisph No legs due to the fact that she always wears long skirts? Aurora stated: "I love long skirts, because they make me feel like a witch and you know, we are connected to witches, us, women especially really clever ones which I think most of us are." - NYLON interview, 2018
Seen pretty much all of her live shows on UA-cam, can't get enough. Finally saw her live in Oslo in October 2019. Best concert I've ever been to. She's just amazing live. Not only is her band stellar and they come off as family, but Aurora fills the entire venue with truly radioactive energy. I've never seen Sentrum Scene literally filled to the brim with such energy and colour. Incredible to watch her live on UA-cam or TV, but watching her live, oh man.
Aurora stated in an interview that for the longest time she wasn't self aware of the fact that she gesticulates a lot when she sings, she only took notice when her band pointed it out to her, she's still doing it subconsciously, it's not an act :P
This was done at a radio-station, when they get 30 minutes to make a cover of another famous song. Shows true talent. Next, please do "Murder song". Live at nidarosdomen. Her best performance for me. Absolutely amazing, and the setting is otherworldly.
"Is that normal?" Yes. Aurora gesticulates a lot when she sings. When she's standing, she does it even more, also stamping her often bare feet and sometimes moving her whole body. It's just what she does; it's her thing.
Through the Eyes of a Child performed live in Nidarsdomen should definitely be one that you go to next, and without a doubt Aurora and Wardruna performing Helvegen live in Bergen, Exist for Love.........Stay safe - from Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa - Peace☮ Thank you for your reactions Ken - they are great!
Her movements are very normal for this special young woman. She is unique and so wholesome. I adore this girl. A little wood nymph. Fairy. She is precious.
To really understand aurora you have to look at her childhood,picture the lakes and forests of Norway as her playground and you can see how nature(Mother Earth) is so important to her and then add in the fact that as a child growing up her family never had a TV or radio,only an record player where she listened to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohan both great wordsmiths in the art of music,it's then you can start to understand what makes this girl become the amazing artist she is today,and to think at the age of 6 she found an old Brocken piano and taught herself to play without being able to read music is astonishing,to then at the age of 9 write a song called Lucky which you must listen to its a masterpiece and by the age of 16 have enough songs for her first album.(all my demons greeting as a friend )WOW! She is so special,for me she is a GENIUS .As a lover of music all of my life, like most of you we all have at times enjoyed certain artists,the reasons for this can be many fold,but I can honestly say that at this moment in my journey no one has touched my emotions or moved me like this young artist from Norway and there is a reason for her to have a huge fan base all over the world. She is such a great songwriter, singer and performer - for me there is a unique quality to her voice and the way she expresses her feelings in every word she sings is a quality that not many singers have She is not mainstream as she has created her own genre, and therefore she is not topping any charts. But that is not what aurora is about she has never craved for that she is a child of the earth and so grounded in what she believes in .So for me a musical journey with Aurora is a journey with meaningful lyrics and comforting vocals that makes you ask yourself questions and think more deeply about the kind of world we want to live in,for someone so young to write and produce songs plus produce all her own videos is outstanding.yes Aurora is a Genius
Everything you said is exactly my sentiment as well! She is absolutely hypnotic and apparently the hand gestures are indeed her "thing" and people commented on a video where she couldn't use her hands and kept sort of doing it out of habit anyway. Lol I cannot believe how she transforms this song into some sort of incredible holy experience. And she only had an hour to prepare? Wow. It is hard to believe anyone could hear this and not want to immediately go dancing in the moonlight with Aurora. Heh
Ariana Grande's original video is like a SuperSexiStarWars kind of production, this version is like you go to the raydio station, play your music and they give you a surprise cover to do, and like a little time to sort it out....and this masterpiece is what she came up with. And let me tell you, this version is a million miles ahead of the original. Aurora is the Best of the best.......and her Magic is unique. You should check her own music, in every version you can get a hold of...she's so freaking good and wise. Love this beautiful lady forever.. She is just being herself, all the time, she's a different kind of human. I suggest you check an interview or two...you'll get a better picture of the amazing perrson behind the artist..........Peace
Hey Hakan we'er Warriors and that's wha we Warriors do...ha ha Have a Blessed Xms and a very Happy New Year hey , you and your loved ones!.....and for sure 2021 is gonna be just awesome
I love that you pointed out the background singer. I have listened to this cover so many times and I am continually impressed by that background vocal.
The entire 2019 HAIK concert in a Norwegian forest among her friends and family is wonderful. It shows her sweet personality and how special she is to so many people. Be sure to check out the amazing documentary before the concert.
It's a concept on this station, they have 60 minutes to prepare a completely new song. Aurora and Silja produces some of the most amazing harmonies. Yes, Aurorora is a bit outerworldly, you should really try out one of her Live performances in Nidarosdomen. Mind blowing, and very moving.
Another amazing Norwegian voice is Susanne Sundfør, try "Undercover" live or "White Foxes" live at the Nobel peace prize concert. But stick with Aurora too, she is amazing.
At the end it really is like she realizes that she's not alone, she gets so easily and naturally into the flow state in her music. It happens a lot too, in many of her live videos, not just this one.
She is within the music. She IS her music. Her body and voice, facials, and playing is all music you can see that. All performances are like this. I understand you’re stop and start to speak but if you are just experiencing her performance, the entirety of her makes sense.
Thank you for your HQ comments, appreciate! If i think of Aurora and her exceptional talented voice, which is so different in many aspects... then comes inevitably Rosalia to my mind. Yes, she is produced very professionally and pushing into this new spanish-english pop, but she has a much wider versatility in her voice to offer. She started singing with flamenco, has arabic, gypsy and catalan aspects all that in a variety from classic and folk to HipHop combined with modern effects. An amazing new spectrum of sound...Yes, she uses in some performances autotune-live-plugins but not to correct her voice, instead to extend her variety with effects that you hear very obviously, so no cheating (as you can hear at her various live sessions)! Very precious voice with an expressionism that injects emotions beyond language barriers. Goosebumps guaranteed! Here an example of here voice and a virtuous guitar play... ua-cam.com/video/6O192OAzMH8/v-deo.html Thanks again and Feliz navidad!
She performs with her hands.. I dont find it distracting. Tori Amos plays piano and uses her hands as well. I love this more than the original honestly lol I like Ariana but this version touches my soul xoxo Aurora is in her own world.
Hey Ken. I'm from Brazil and I came into your channel by another Aurora's video (the one that she performs Life on Mars). I just love the way she sings and her songs. I would like you to react to It Happened Quiet (Live at the Current) (sorry about my bad english, love your videos)
when you find out they have an hour to do their arrangements for a song and play it, you get how good they are... BTW Ken, your knowledge and the way you approach the rest of us: AWESOME. props
Good reaction, thank you and yes your comments hit the ball about her personality. Imagine you hear the song without seeing her... will it be the same experience?
Love your reactions! 😊 You have to listen to some of her original songs soon. The Seed, Through the eyes of a child, It happened quiet. You'll be mezmerised😊 Keep up the work, great content🥳
Awesome reaction! And this isn't the only video where she has that 'oh wow there are cameras or people here' at the end, I think the best example of that is her performance at the 2015 Nobel Peace price concert where she performed her original 'Runaway' - ua-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/v-deo.html - if you ever want to watch her lose herself in a song, thats a great one!
Love Aurora, she just escapes into the music. You are also right, seeing interviews with her she is unembassionately herself, and such a quirky and bold person. Also another good artist to check out is London Grammar. She has such a powerful voice.
Would love you to react to one of Aurora’s original songs! She’s a really great lyricist too! I’d suggest anything from the Haik concert (my favourites are All Is Soft Inside and The Seed). And yes, the arm flourishes are very much a signature of hers. She’s also a dancer so the arm movements come out a lot in her live performances. You can really see her move in the Haik concert.
Great Reaction! Ken: "Is that(moving her arms) what she normally does? Is that her thing?" and I'm just grinning from ear to ear nodding frantically :D
you are exactly right, there is a documentary of her and concert created for her called "Haik". She is wonderfully authentic and a pure soul. That can be found on UA-cam and worth the watch.
I’m a pottery teacher, sometimes, and I discovered Aurora some years ago. I find her style of singing very seductive. Hearing your comments about her style and voice puts in perspective my pottery wheel throwing and the parallels between the two. Food for thought for me.
![Vocal Coach Reacts: AURORA God Is A Woman by Ariana Grande [First Listen]](/img/n.gif)
What’s most impressive about this performance is the fact she didn’t know what song she’d be covering. They gave her the song and one hour to prepare
WHAT
I didn't know this, but I'm glad I do now 😭💙
It's probably why she said "nananana" in some parts lol
@@bluebeeboo I had heard it had something to do with the lyrics in that part sexualizing the song. I can’t confirm if that’s true or not.
@@grudge6648 Well, that kinda makes sense too
@@bluebeeboo She isn't really a fan of that kind of music
she's very physical ala florence and the machine, also she must be protected at all costs she is perfect lol
My two favorite artists lol
If she falls, we all will. She must be protected.
well she does have ASD so it could be stiming (:
She does move her arms/body quite a lot when she's singing in other performances I've seen. Seems to really feel the music and expresses it through movement.
She has said that she wasn't aware of her movements when she started out performing. I guess she does this almost unconsciously.
When you sing with your hands, playing the piano at the same time is a bit problematic. The piano more of a prop than anything. Also I do appreciate the insertion of the Batman run into the piece...
This was from a radioshow where the artist featured would get to play a couple of their own songs live. But there would also be a suprise cover choosen by the host. They had about an hour to prepare for it.
W h a t
Shut up what- that's incredible
Silja Sol (back up singer) is amazing. She's also a musician, and an artist herself. I recommend It Happened Quiet, live at The Current, for more Aurora and Silja harmonies.
You are so right Toril. 💚💚
Oh yes!!!!! And the she read Aurora! Look at her, she is following Aurora with her eyes always....
@@RunarNyrud I think everyone is following Aurora with their eyes
@@kippys1 yes.... but different reason why ... Aurora tweeks everying to get the right feel, even timing and rythm, so Silja watches her to get the timing right 🙂
@@RunarNyrud There's something "deeper" than just a musical connection between these amazing young ladies. Their voices 'blend' & 'compliment' each others' so well & they're fully engaged with what each other is doing.
Aurora's music, most parts, makes me feel happy & inspired & with Silja as her support/back-up singer Aurora couldn't go wrong.
When Aurora was little she used to spend most of her days outside in the Norwegian woods, her mother had a bell she rang when she had to come home for dinner. So you are not wrong, she is our own Norwegian wood elf and we love her for all her quirks and weirdness
It's interesting that you only saw her covers. Personally I loved her Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) at UN Peace Concert and It Happened Quiet at Nidarosdomen
That Murder Song performance is one of my all time favourite performances
Runaway is a good one from the same concert. Murder Song, gets me every time.
More Aurora, please. The "hand thing" is normal. In fact, she's a lot more expressive. Watch her KEXP session and see for yourself. "All is soft inside" is a good example from that particular session
EPIC version of a magnificent song!
😁👍
Oh, definitely! For me KEXP session is Aurora's most vibrant energetic powerful performance, and AISI is the diamond on top of that evening. Among the audience was Bjork, probably Aurora gave 110% for her too.
AURORA is one of a kind! Her music is not just music. It is a sensual experience... we love her 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Aurora is divine - angelic, ethereal, mystifying - i especially love the way she feels the music through her body and her eyes speak volumes....she is totally immersed in the song - she is adorable!!

Both performances show her uniqueness.
Aurora is my secret non-metal pleasure, having discovered here when she duetted with Wardruna. She is so fantastic and reminds me of a Scandinavian Kate Bush with her theatrics. Her voice and delivery are sent from above.
Edit: new subscriber here mate, stay safe.
And she also likes metal herself. She mentions Gojira, Mastodon, Tool/APC, and that she stopped being a Metallica fan after dislocating her knee at their concert once.
Ken: the sexual part did not fit her version of the song; so she changed it... I am 90% sure that this version of he song was made for this radio program on short notice. If you look closely you can see a pice of papir on the piano, and Silje (the backup singer) has a papir also.

And yeah. The dancing/self conducting thing is part of her general aesthetic.
The unique cadence and emphasis, and her supernatural tonal control are stunning. Not exactly singing, at least not the way most people do it. She gives me the feeling that I'm watching a living breathing embodiment of music. Have to say, her singing is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

Ethereal
The chemistry with her backup singer is nuts. Insane talent with both.
I love Aurora so much!! She is so moving!! Everything she touches is magical!!!
She brings light and love to the hearts of many. She is beloved by us. Through her authentic form we find a piece of home
It's got a Celtic feel to it, doesn't it? Speaking of her vocal style.
not really
I wonder if Celtic actually has a Nordic influence from the time that they conquered and settled in the UK
@@mattm7378 the "celtic" is from isolated Irish tradition.
No vikings there

She always seems to end this way, like waking up, in a place where she lost.
She is simply fantasticly weird, authentic and crazy talented. Sucks you into her world and makes you want to stay there for ever.
You are right, Aurora is simply AURORA! Simply amazing! Subscribed!
She is amazing and such a beauty, very very talented💕

Aurora, hypnotizing, mesmerizing? Both? She is awesome!
Wow! That is all.
Sooo Good!
Her movements are one of the many important elements which make me love her.
Yes she does this in all her songs, with her hands, it's beautiful.
Ethereal! ❤
Enchanted ❤️
At the end it really is like she realizes that she's not alone, she gets so easily and naturally into the flow state in her music. It happens a lot too, in many of her live videos, not just this one.
She is incredible
She is within the music. She IS her music. Her body and voice, facials, and playing is all music you can see that. All performances are like this. I understand you’re stop and start to speak but if you are just experiencing her performance, the entirety of her makes sense.
Excelente! She is magnificent! Out of this word. Beautiful version .
Her backup singers are layering so nicely with her in this.
Thank you for your HQ comments, appreciate! If i think of Aurora and her exceptional talented voice, which is so different in many aspects... then comes inevitably Rosalia to my mind. Yes, she is produced very professionally and pushing into this new spanish-english pop, but she has a much wider versatility in her voice to offer. She started singing with flamenco, has arabic, gypsy and catalan aspects all that in a variety from classic and folk to HipHop combined with modern effects. An amazing new spectrum of sound...Yes, she uses in some performances autotune-live-plugins but not to correct her voice, instead to extend her variety with effects that you hear very obviously, so no cheating (as you can hear at her various live sessions)! Very precious voice with an expressionism that injects emotions beyond language barriers. Goosebumps guaranteed! Here an example of here voice and a virtuous guitar play...

Thanks again and Feliz navidad!
She performs with her hands.. I dont find it distracting. Tori Amos plays piano and uses her hands as well. I love this more than the original honestly lol I like Ariana but this version touches my soul xoxo Aurora is in her own world.
Hey Ken. I'm from Brazil and I came into your channel by another Aurora's video (the one that she performs Life on Mars).
I just love the way she sings and her songs. I would like you to react to It Happened Quiet (Live at the Current)
(sorry about my bad english, love your videos)
Aurora's movements are just me while listening to songs like that.
Aurora is our Queen who leads the Queendom of which we all live.
when you find out they have an hour to do their arrangements for a song and play it, you get how good they are... BTW Ken, your knowledge and the way you approach the rest of us: AWESOME. props
Good reaction, thank you and yes your comments hit the ball about her personality. Imagine you hear the song without seeing her... will it be the same experience?
Love your reactions! 😊
You have to listen to some of her original songs soon. The Seed, Through the eyes of a child, It happened quiet.
You'll be mezmerised😊 Keep up the work, great content🥳
I just googled 'It happened quiet' and wow. Just wow. So happy to have learned about her today!
+1 for Through The Eyes of a Child! Live from Nidarosdomen is my favorite version of it!
@@anneliessergeant8706 highly recommend this version also : ua-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/v-deo.html&ab_channel=iamAURORAVEVO
@@heyRJ7 try this ua-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/v-deo.html&ab_channel=iamAURORAVEVO
Murder Song - Nobel Concert a must view . Aurora sings with her whole body and spirit.
Interesting and well presented analysis. Very well done! - Elly
pleeease more from aurora! she‘s just awesome
Awesome reaction! And this isn't the only video where she has that 'oh wow there are cameras or people here' at the end, I think the best example of that is her performance at the 2015 Nobel Peace price concert where she performed her original 'Runaway' - ua-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/v-deo.html - if you ever want to watch her lose herself in a song, thats a great one!
You really should look her original work...she's a amazing songwriter 💙 Merry christmas and new year btw
I'd recommend checking out her Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) acoustic performance at the Nobel Peace Price concert
Love Aurora, she just escapes into the music. You are also right, seeing interviews with her she is unembassionately herself, and such a quirky and bold person.
Also another good artist to check out is London Grammar. She has such a powerful voice.
Would love you to react to one of Aurora’s original songs! She’s a really great lyricist too! I’d suggest anything from the Haik concert (my favourites are All Is Soft Inside and The Seed).
And yes, the arm flourishes are very much a signature of hers. She’s also a dancer so the arm movements come out a lot in her live performances. You can really see her move in the Haik concert.
Great Reaction!
Ken: "Is that(moving her arms) what she normally does? Is that her thing?" and I'm just grinning from ear to ear nodding frantically :D
you are exactly right, there is a documentary of her and concert created for her called "Haik". She is wonderfully authentic and a pure soul. That can be found on UA-cam and worth the watch.
Subscribing so I hopefully get to see you do more Aurora songs! Keep up the great work and love your reactions!
Yeah her backup singer Siljia is pretty awesome. Love Auroras version 🤟
Love that you're basically complimenting her for being authentically weird! (As opposed to other musicians whose weirdness seems inauthentic.) 😄♥️
I recommend It Happened Quiet, live at The Current
More aurora please ❤
More please!
Yes more Aurora
This is why her fans are "warriors and weirdos." Aurora definitely embraces her weirdness. It's all her.
I’m a pottery teacher, sometimes, and I discovered Aurora some years ago. I find her style of singing very seductive. Hearing your comments about her style and voice puts in perspective my pottery wheel throwing and the parallels between the two. Food for thought for me.
