That smile at the end, though! 👍💙🤟 I feel like this is her most "made it her own" cover, turning the original into kind of folk music. I've seen so many people say they didn't really pay attention to the lyrics before Aurora's version, but I hear that about many of her covers. She is such a great storyteller, and always draws you in.
Not sure if you've heard her acoustic version of Cure For Me (she performed it at this same radio session), but it's one of my favorite alternate versions of her songs - worth checking out. Lerche sounds like "jerky".
Aurora is my spirit animal ❤ She makes me proud to be Norwegian! Thank you for sharing your reactions to her music (and for loving her too), it for sure made me subscribe 🥰
I have watched all your Aurora reactions and I can’t believe there have been that many already. I too have pre ordered a bundle of Aurora’s new album and I LOVE the idea of covering the album as your 100th reaction. I had a collection of vinyl from when I was a kid to my early 20’s but moved so much I got tired of lugging them around. You have inspired me to start listening to Vinyl again and Aurora’s new album will be my first one to start my new collection. I am not a huge fan of Billie, but I have downloaded 3 - Lovely, Ocean Eyes and Hostage. I agree with you - it is so pretty
You got me hooked on her music 🎵🎶. I fell hard for her music. She is awesome. Such a pretty voice. I got a update on my phone today. The warning announcement. They are playing a handful of shows in Canada in October. Are you going. I just hope when they are in the area. They stop in Michigan. I missed them when they played in flint Michigan last time around. . Appreciate you channel. Everything you post makes my day. Keep up the great work n 💜 love of music 🎵🎶. Rock on ashlena. Peace 🕊️.
@@ashlenamusic I think. They are trying to play music. Where. Fans didn't get to see them. I. Myself have had to drive 5 hours to see bon Jovi at soldier field. I understand. Shout out to don music. He is frm Canada. U tuber. Lv from Michigan. Rock on. Peace 🕊️.
nice reaction, beautiful aurora tuesday. can't wait for the aurora spree. the album is launched at 7th june and there are still some songs you haven't reacted to.
I have dance so much on the original... but never listen to the lyric exceot shouting the chorus loll Her version is so story telling and cool, her little ''fun part'' feel some king of russian folklore and I love it. For me it's not a point of wish one is better, it's 2 complete different version that both bring me joy. Thank you.
It's a NRK P3 concept, give gifted artists 60 minutes to arrange and practice their own version of a famous song, and play it on public radio :). This was Aurora's take on Rasputin for that concept.
I like the original song but I wish this was on spotify, Aurora's voice just turns anything into one of the most beautiful things humans can listen to. Edit: I also love how shee looks, the blue dress its beautiful and with her beautiful hair and the most beautiful eyes, combined with the music this is like beautiful x10000
You can definitely tell she was having so much fun with this song. That original song is way too perfect, but her ver definitely come close too reaching that level of perfection. Can’t wait for that album reaction, you can even do a live reaction livestream to celebrate the 100th.
I’m so happy you added the Rasputin cover in your poll. It’s one of my top fav covers she did. Great reaction as usual! I’m looking forward to the other 3 you put in the poll.
I can't imagine no one else has mentioned it yet, but just in case: Aurora released a "remix" version of a song that will be on her new album, "A Soul With No King." The "remix" part is that nature sounds are added. The Earth being credited as an artist on the track means that royalties for it go to support environmental causes. ua-cam.com/video/p8gtGg83LRY/v-deo.htmlsi=qRywN2dCEy2ayhKr
Rasputin, by Boney M... I heard the original for the first time a long time ago, as a young kid, my parents enjoyed dancing happily to it. Only Aurora really made me listen to the lyrics, several decades later. Her lightness and subtlety are always a treat. And that final smile is a pleasure in itself.🙂👍
What a fun song to cover and her voice serves it extremely well. I saw Sondre Lerche in 2003 opening for Jason Mraz. "Lehr Kay" was the way he introduced himself and that's the what I've stuck with.
Seen Sondre live a couple of times. Toured the US and also lived there for a while, but I believe he's is back in Bergen now. Made the Soundtrack to "Dan In Real Life" back in the day. Very talented, and I think some of his songs deserve more recognition. The live version of "Why Would I Let You Go", performed with The Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra (KORK) during covid (no audience), is just lovely. His duet with Aurora too 😊.
however, it is incredible how he manages to give his own personal touch to each cover, making it unique. @ashlenamusic As for "a soul with no king" the last song he released, think about it regarding the reaction, it's not a dance remix it's a remix that I think is very in line with the original song and I think you would like it a lot.
i think "Under Stars" is a good choice of song if you haven't reacted to it yet. and the live performance, my favorite which i think is the most intense, Aurora - Under Stars (Live @ Øyafestivalen 2016)
Under Stars is one of my favorite Aurora songs. Personally I prefer the Nidarosdomen version. She bends the notes so perfectly. But any version of the song is amazing.
I remember when BonyM did this and I didn like it at all. In fact I almost hated it. Auroras version is amazing. Far from the original disco vibes. Thank you for sharing Aurora.
@Holgerdansk I was round 20 years and I was listening to progressiv musik like YES..Genesis..PinkFloyd..Mike Oldfield..BonyM was a big no no for me..and so was mainstream disco and pop musik.
Yeah, it's Tuesday!!! Love this cover, not a fan of Bony M, so for me, this is the best version of the song. Ruger (spelling?) sounds adorable, pick him up sometime so we can see the dog behind the bark, lol. Thanks for a great reaction, looking forward to your "rush" to get to the 100 mark, we all want that, 😍😍
... Yes very nice, it's my younger years in Disco (german style)... I wisch she does " Daddy Cool"; more crazy and iconic ... But I am the "old french great fan of THE WARNING" ... Sorry I know you like The Warning that's why ...
Hello Ashlena! Nice little bagatell yes. You must have so much to do but we must be inform you that AURORA realesed a new son g last Thursday. A soul with no king feat. Nature. It is so much to tell about it but i must prepare so much and i have not the time. But the song for me one of her absolutely best song and it is a remix (i usually don't like remixes) experimental and it have all the Aurorian elements in it. It 's real soulhealing song hope you get more suggestions of this masterpiece. Thanks for your Aurora tuesdays love them❤
@@ashlenamusic trust me ashlena you won't regret it, in any case I don't think it's very different from the original it doesn't seem like a too intrusive remix to me, and then she chose it specifically to celebrate this event, believe me it's an incredible piece, one of her best. Come on, you still have time for Aurora Tuesday! 😄
The smoothing over of the history of Rasputin will never cease to entertain me XD
That smile at the end, though! 👍💙🤟

I've seen so many people say they didn't really pay attention to the lyrics before Aurora's version, but I hear that about many of her covers.

No! I've never read or heard anything about any of this!😉
Not sure if you've heard her acoustic version of Cure For Me (she performed it at this same radio session), but it's one of my favorite alternate versions of her songs - worth checking out.
Lerche sounds like "jerky".
She can transform an odd song into a symphony... I love her 🤍
So true
She clearly was having fun. The twinkle in her eyes is wonderful.
It’s the best!
Her joy is everything!
Happy Aurora Tuesday ❤ I love the way she made this a slowed down fun version of a classic disco song. Looking forward to next weeks song ❤
Same here!
Aurora is my spirit animal ❤ She makes me proud to be Norwegian! Thank you for sharing your reactions to her music (and for loving her too), it for sure made me subscribe 🥰
Awww thanks for the sub! I look forward to seeing her live one day!
I love that you can tell how much fun Magnus is having listening to her little vocal solo. He had the biggest smile on his face.
Again a lovely performance! I had almost forgotten about this cover. Tuesdays are great. Thanks to you and to the voters!
Thank you for watching!!

They are playing 2 hours away. So strange that they didn’t do a Toronto show 😭 and evanescence usually comes here.

nice reaction, beautiful aurora tuesday. can't wait for the aurora spree. the album is launched at 7th june and there are still some songs you haven't reacted to.
Which ones?
@@ashlenamusic 'when i'm gone' or simply 'gone', 'all my demons' and 'i had a dream' to name three. if you want me i could provide links.
Alles was Aurora covert wird zu ihrem eigenen Lied.
Everything Aurora covers becomes her own song.
Agreed!!
I have dance so much on the original... but never listen to the lyric exceot shouting the chorus loll Her version is so story telling and cool, her little ''fun part'' feel some king of russian folklore and I love it. For me it's not a point of wish one is better, it's 2 complete different version that both bring me joy. Thank you.
I totally agree!
Yyay aurora

Thank you, I was going to mention this.
So cool!
Boney M was not very popular in the US, but I heard them a lot outside the US in the 80's. This song especially. I like this version.
I like the original song but I wish this was on spotify, Aurora's voice just turns anything into one of the most beautiful things humans can listen to. Edit: I also love how shee looks, the blue dress its beautiful and with her beautiful hair and the most beautiful eyes, combined with the music this is like beautiful x10000
Thank you. Aurora was given this song and had just 30 minutes to learn it. Then she performed it live. Isn’t that crazy.
You can definitely tell she was having so much fun with this song. That original song is way too perfect, but her ver definitely come close too reaching that level of perfection. Can’t wait for that album reaction, you can even do a live reaction livestream to celebrate the 100th.
I should!!!
@@ashlenamusicAnd so you did!
Love Aurora ❤
I’m so happy you added the Rasputin cover in your poll. It’s one of my top fav covers she did. Great reaction as usual! I’m looking forward to the other 3 you put in the poll.
Awesome! Thank you!
I like how clear you can hear Magnus in the background. Often he disappeares with the other voices.
Just a short info as I am in work: Aurora rehearsed it 15 minute (based on her YT post :) ).
Thanks for that! Insane!!
Perfect!! Thank you ❤
Glad you like it!
I can't imagine no one else has mentioned it yet, but just in case: Aurora released a "remix" version of a song that will be on her new album, "A Soul With No King."

I know!! I’m debating should I do it or wait for the original one
@@ashlenamusic Tough choice! I feel for you!
@@ashlenamusic I think you should do the remix now and then the original later. The remix is so awesome.
Rasputin, by Boney M... I heard the original for the first time a long time ago, as a young kid, my parents enjoyed dancing happily to it. Only Aurora really made me listen to the lyrics, several decades later. Her lightness and subtlety are always a treat. And that final smile is a pleasure in itself.🙂👍
Awwwww memories!!!

Same to you!

Very cool. And if you're doing a poll for having Ruger on as a cohost occasionally, my vote is a resounding Yes!!
😂😂
Hi Mama Ash.........always god to have you around on Aurora Tuesdays luv!!
Happy Tuesday!
Always love your passion
Appreciate that
She did a special version of Cure For Me on the same radio show - a Bossanova version! ua-cam.com/video/Ml0OPzGTZIY/v-deo.html
this is such a cool cover! her voice is great. now the lights in the back can get wrecked tho lol
Agreed they were annoying!
👍😍😍❤️🥰🥰
🥰🥰
She's really good at covers too, right? I have a hard time "accepting" covers in general but I still haven't got dissapointed by one if hers.
Same! She just makes them her own and they always sound so lovely
Cool
not the ad for the dog😂
Hahaha
however, it is incredible how he manages to give his own personal touch to each cover, making it unique. @ashlenamusic As for "a soul with no king" the last song he released, think about it regarding the reaction, it's not a dance remix it's a remix that I think is very in line with the original song and I think you would like it a lot.
I’ll check it out xx
🦋🦋🦋
It is most definitely better than the original (since I've never heard the original)! 😎
Haha you might be shocked when you do
❤
🥰
i think "Under Stars" is a good choice of song if you haven't reacted to it yet. and the live performance, my favorite which i think is the most intense, Aurora - Under Stars (Live @ Øyafestivalen 2016)
Under Stars is one of my favorite Aurora songs. Personally I prefer the Nidarosdomen version. She bends the notes so perfectly. But any version of the song is amazing.
@@GhostlyEcheveria yeah but ashlena has already seen the whole performance. I picked a different live version that sounds more raw and intense vocally
I remember when BonyM did this and I didn like it at all. In fact I almost hated it. Auroras version is amazing. Far from the original disco vibes. Thank you for sharing Aurora.
Totally agree! I didn't hate the original, but to me it was just commercial mainstream disco. Aurora puts it on a different level!
Fair enough! I didn’t like it either haha I only enjoy it now cause it holds a memory of a person to me now
@@ashlenamusic Totally agree! That is what music is made for! 😉
@Holgerdansk I was round 20 years and I was listening to progressiv musik like YES..Genesis..PinkFloyd..Mike Oldfield..BonyM was a big no no for me..and so was mainstream disco and pop musik.
😊👍
❤.
I cover a Zombie would be interesting, she was yodeling like Dolores did.... That's why I thought of this!
That would be epic
Yeah, it's Tuesday!!! Love this cover, not a fan of Bony M, so for me, this is the best version of the song. Ruger (spelling?) sounds adorable, pick him up sometime so we can see the dog behind the bark, lol. Thanks for a great reaction, looking forward to your "rush" to get to the 100 mark, we all want that, 😍😍
Haha will do xx
🧚♀️ O -
I think she got like 30min to prepare 🙂
🤯
... Yes very nice, it's my younger years in Disco (german style)...
I wisch she does " Daddy Cool"; more crazy and iconic ...
But I am the "old french great fan of THE WARNING" ... Sorry I know you like The Warning that's why ...

Yeah I’m thinking of doing it but then again I’d like to hear the original first
