@@grauph1up It's the Norwegian version of what BBC is to the UK. When I was growing up in the 70s, we only had one norwegian tv channel, nrk. Because I lived somewhat close to the border with Sweden, we actually had options, but for most norwegians NRK was what you'd get on the telly untill late 1980s. I still mainly watch NRK because they have no commercials.
I honestly don't ever really get emotional when I hear of a 'celebrity' passing but I broke down at work when I heard Bowie found his rest. He has truly inspired me since childhood... She did this song so beautifully and Bowie would embrace this so warmly...
Looking at Graups reaction, I remembered my own reaction when I heard AURoRAs version of this song.🥰😢 And I Imaging David's looking down at her with his signature grin and givving 👍👍up! Thnx for sharing, guess your both fellow Warriors and Weirdos byy now 🤔😉
Great reaction for this incredible cover. In one interview she told she love Bowie. I also like how she puts her stamp one the covers. I love emotions she puts in her performance and you are just suck into the story she singing. It looks like Aurora is somehow able to just make her magic every time.
She sang how I feel when I'm thinking about the moments I had listening to Bowie growing up... This rendition would move Bowie as well. Thank you Bjornar!
You really hit it on the head when you said it was like a musical box. I found Aurora through this song and have listened and cried to it for years struggling to figure out what that special ingredient was to make this such an experience--now everytime I see this performance I will imagine it is like opening a musical box. Just a perfect analogy to a perfect song. So many of her stunning songs to explore and look forward to more of your reactions in the future.
Thank you Tim! All I could visualize was how precise and delicate each note was even when she let it out it was still so controlled within where she wanted it... I'm really hoping we get to the full Haik documentary soon, each day brings us a new thing to sap some energy before we get there and I want to go in 100%...
@@grauph1up That Haik doc is exceptional. You will learn what makes her a very special person. And the concert at the end is superb! I will take any excuse to watch it again!!
Great reaction, you both looked hypnotized while watching it. It really did seem as if she was vocalizing her inner thoughts. As usual, a Resounding "Wow" performance.
Thank you! Aurora is so easy to be drawn into. Our 3 year old actually stops what he's doing to watch most of the Sky concert still. Like the only time in the day he will stand still even and for entire songs...
Oh no! I listened to this at work, and now my coworkers wonder why I am crying.... This preformance "killes me"... Aurora and her sister makes her outfits. Her sister is a clothes designer. (I am sure somebody said it before but....)
@@grauph1up She has 2 older sisters, Miranda born 22 december 1986 is a makup artist (and does Aurora's makeup when possible) and Victoria born 30 january 1990. Aurora was born 15 june 1996.
My heart is still thumping noticeably after going through this experience again. I am so satisfied that I could share this performance along with you guys. More Aurora reaction videos, please. Thanks, Grauph and Nerdmuma.
Thank you Greg! I'm still hoping to record the Haik documentary really really soon. The last day and a half has been sick toddler time so we're running on fumes O.o
Being a child of the 80's, I grew up with Bowie. Both of my parents were huge Bowie fans. I'll never forget the day we lost him. My dad texted me at 4am to tell me that Bowie had passed. I don't think any other celebrities passing has affected me in the same way his did. Maybe it was the shift in social climate at the time that compounded the feeling of loss, but it really felt like we lost him when the world needed him the most. I just remember listening to "Five Years" constantly over the following months. Little did I know that in five years, we would be in some of the darkest days we've ever seen as human beings. I don't think any other artist could cover this song as beautifully or respectfully as Aurora. Like Bowie, Aurora is a shining light in the dark.
Thank you Tamago Chan! His post mortem gift to us was also beautiful... Bowie was a true artist who gave this world a lot of special music and ideas. I wish he could have heard her sing this and we are so fortunate to have known both in one lifetime =)
When she sang this in Nidarosdomen, she said “This is a really, really beautiful song. It’s not mine, but I wish it was. Perhaps in a way, it’s everyone’s song.” She sang it to close the concert. I think you would enjoy the whole Nidarosdomen concert.
Hi again guys. Angelina/Aurora fan so I will always be here for both of these great artists. I do believe she is playing a Fender Rhodes piano built in the 1960's and very popular in the 70's. Invented by Harold Rhodes, who invented the electric piano. Very unique sound for sure and Aurora plays it beautifully. Absolutely love her version of this iconic Bowie song. Having grown up during the Bowie era, saw him Live NJ in the early 70's, can really appreciate what Aurora has created with this song. Her version at Nidarosdomen Cathedral is equally beautiful.. Thank you both for another wonderful reaction with another great Norwegian artist. Cheers, stay well and carry on.
Thank you Carl! Man that's awesome I need to look up this piano now. The tones it made accompanied her voice so well. It reminded me of church organ but more bell/glass like.
Thank you HA Sarpsborg! Aurora is actually leaving me in some kind of elevated state of mind... Nerdmuma's doing all the work to make us entertaining =,D
I still can't think of the right words for how well she did what she did to this.. the deep respect and appreciation of each word she sang... How delicately she handled it... Like a music box ballerina. Thank you Derek!
So there you are guys. Thank`s 🎹🎵🎶🎶 I`m so greatful to pay yet another visit to this breath-taking performance even one more time. I feel almost like being transported to Mars whenever I listen to this 😊 Awesome reaction guys. As ever 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Jollyo! Aurora takes me somewhere in her voice. Near the end of the sky concert when her giant angel is pulling you into her hands .. she keeps bringing me there :,D thank you again!
Oh I promise the only reason we haven't is our toddler absorbing most the energy for the day. I want to be fully ready to take it in. I've been asking @nerdmuma regularly as well :D I want to be there 100% for the whole documentary.
A very lovely reaction as always🤗 You guys have become some of my absolutely favourite Aurora reactors👍❤️ I really love this cover by her, but she always nails it imo👍😍 She has many great covers, and one of my favourites are “Believer” by Imagine Dragons. Yes it’s a beautiful cover, but the story behind is so cool👍😊 She didn’t know she was going to sing this song until she arrived the radio station, and when she had picked the song she had one hour to rehearse before singing it live. And she hadn’t even heard it before😳 This is what she said: “I'm not very good with new music as you probably all know. I also went through their list of songs and saw the name Imagine Dragons. I hadn't heard of them before and thought it was such a cool name - DRAGONS ARE SO COOL!” AURORA 👍😅❤️ Btw, I believe David Bowie did hear Aurora’s version of “Life on Mars”, because the last time he performed this song, he sang it slow with only a piano❤️ I’ll leave the link below in case they delete it👍😊
Hey Lill M! That story was incredible =,D Now I'm excited to hear it knowing she went in with such little knowledge... she's so beyond genius and maintains such a genuine innocent kindness =)
@@nerdmuma Can you see the link I sent? I’m asking because often they’ll delete it, and even if they delete it I can still see the link🤔 It’s kinda sad performance by him since it’s his last❤️
She always makes every cover her own. I love this version, but for some reason, I like her rendition of it live at Nidarosdomen better.(You should definitely check out that version as well) But, no matter what performance she does, I always love them. She's fabulous.
Did she have the orchestra/choir backing her for that one there? Thank you Julie :) that cathedral is incredible and we will definitely be checking more of it out.
@@grauph1up I hope that you at one moment will do the Nidarosdomen concert. It is a piece of art and any song will do. If I should pick one it must be Lucky. A song that helped me a lot after I had cancer surgery. Love from Norway
Unlike most of her covers, she's done this one many times. She even sang it at the Nidarosdomen cathedral, where she did the Boy in the Grass performance you recently reviewed. She also did this on Howard Stern. And it was on a television show called Girls (if I recall, I have never seen the show). I'm glad you liked this so much, especially as Bowie fans. I'd never heard this song before I heard Aurora singing it. I've listened to Bowie's original since then, and even have it in the same play list in which I have her version. It's a great song either way (though I secretly like her version better).
Hey Yar! It's been like 20 years since I heard Stern =,D My first thought would just be I hope he wasn't an ass to her... I love that she wished she had written this song herself..
@@grauph1up The clip is mostly Aurora, with Stern bookending her performance. At least as far as the clip goes, he was quite polite, and duly impressed with her talent. I've never been a Stern fan myself. Back in the day my shock jock of choice was Don Imus. I don't know what the hell I was thinking.
Absolutely beautiful reaction! She really is quite amazing isn't she? Have you heard her cover of Imagine Dragon's "Believer" or for something completely different, her cover of Boney M's "Rasputin (yes, really!)?
Haha I can't wait to hear her cover Rasputin. One of my favorites in beatsaber to destroy me :,D both of those sound like they are going to be awesome with whatever she does with them. Thank you Mario!
Hey Jos! Yes I love Cohens voice.... similar I liked the aged Johnny Cash...when you could hear time on his voice. I'll be looking forward to that one :) Thank you.
Love this reaction. Aurora is so special, and her originals are the music of the Gods, but her covers are so completely something else as well. This cover of Bowie is such a lovely tribute to an artist for whom she has the highest respect. For something completely different in her collection of cover songs, her treatment of "Believer" by Imagine Dragons is another where she completely makes the song her own. She was on a show where she gave an interview and performed one of her own songs. but as a requirement for her appearance, she was given a task. She had one hour to chose a song, listen to and learn it. She had never heard it, but chose the song because of the word 'dragons'. Here's a link, just in case ua-cam.com/video/f84hwqj3k8Y/v-deo.html
Thank you Josian! =,D There's a few skyrim things floating around our room and Nerdmuma did those 3 small paintings for me for a birthday years back =)
Amazing reaction as always you should definitely react to aurora why did you have to go it’s about aurora ‘s friend who died in a car accident and she made a song about her it’s very sad and beautiful and the lyrics are the saddest part 😢❤
Thank you so much Taha! The more I learn the more I realize how much pain she has dealt with since childhood. I'm glad she continues to turn pain to beauty through her voice. I will add it to our ' to react to' list for when the kid is sleeping :) Thank you again! That one is going to be hard for both of us but I'm looking forward to it...
@@grauph1up she really has dealt with a lot of pain, specially when it comes to losing someone. I think you should check out her song Through the eyes of a child- live in Nidarosdomen, it's a really emotional song.
We are going to really soon I hope Gumi Ho! I really want to be 100% rested and ready to take it all in. we had a slightly sick kiddo the last couple days and feeling pretty drained but really soon I hope! :)
Great rendition of Bowie's song great choice maybe you could try her version of Fampus Vlue Raincoat from Leonar Cohen, as always, she does a great job......and just imagine what The Duke would do if he was able to hear her singng his song.......she's just stunning......great choice!
You spoke of her handling the song so delicately, with so much respect. (And I have watched this many times - very beautiful!). Another cover she did with same delicacy and respect was Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat". Absolutely breathtaking as she unfolded the story/song. It was at a memorial concert for Cohen, who had been one of Aurora's childhood musical inspirations, and who had recently died. You could see how emotional it was for her. Different artists sang one song each, so this was the one she chose: ua-cam.com/video/Oaf0gzQSiOM/v-deo.html
Thank you again Runar! I'm going to have to check out some stuff based around that piano now...I remember the more wildly playing electric piano sounds, acid rock and stuff.... The tones and her voice were so seamless at times like vocal bells :)
Very nice! My favorite version of this cover, and she's always great with just keyboard/piano or guitar. A short clip where she forgets the lyrics (not a first for Aurora 😊), and has to ask the audience for help : ua-cam.com/video/GbpIjkfA32Y/v-deo.html She's got great songs herself, but one of my favorite covers of hers is "La La La" from Radio Hamburg. Aurora with Odd Martin Skålnes on guitar/harmonies.
Every detail I learn about her I feel so much more understanding of her =,D Nerdmuma is used to me picking up somewhere in the middle of a conversation I've had going in my head =,D Thank you A Frisvold!
@@grauph1up "Conversations in my head" sounds familiar... I have some of those 😄. She's quite the introvert, and sometimes zone out on stage or during interviews. Comfortable with her flaws though, and handle it with humor. Most of her die hard fans connects with her personality as much as they do with her music.
So, how about some Leonard Cohen then? Back in 2017, producer Christer Falck was project managing a tribute concert to celebrate Leonard Cohen, who had died in November 2016. He had heard that Aurora was a big fan of Cohen so he contacted her management to see if she would be interested in taking part ... It took a whole 15 minutes before he got a yes. Aurora - Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen-cover) : ua-cam.com/video/Oaf0gzQSiOM/v-deo.html
Thank you Peter! That one is going to be as soon as we get to record again I think. Cohens voice is a comfort to me. I'm really looking forward to Aurora performing this...
Nerdmuma said Yes she does and she thinks I do.. but she's about to find out I still have no idea who Massive attack is =D She says I know who they are.... and now she say's it's the 'House' song like that's going to help me haha.... I'm really not sure why I can never remember them... but yes Nerdmuma knows it and keeps telling me I'm not retaining the conversation we've had about it =,D
Thank you Mathew! I wrote them both down I only remember the name Linda Ronstadt and I'm sure I've heard her songs but can't recall any names. Ah just looked her up and probably her doing Blue Bayou is what I remember. I don't think we've heard any Avett Brothers yet.
Yes, Aurora is an artist, no doubt. Angelina J, Aurora -- and Sigrid, could be counted in as a third very different option for a super Norwegian young woman power trio. Go Norway...
Did you notice anything strange sitting on top of her Rhodes piano? If it looks like 6 dead cockroaches......it's cuz it is lol. When Aurora was interviewed by Howard Stern she mentioned how she put them there....to help her feel less anxious. Aurora _loves_ bugs, especially moths. I've seen this a hundred times...and never noticed that until she mentioned it lol.
She is a “one of a kind” artist
This was my first encounter with Aurora, when it was first aired. I was gobsmacked.
This must have been amazing to see when it aired. What is NRK tv normally like? I've seen a few really cool slow tv things from Norway.
@@grauph1up It's the Norwegian version of what BBC is to the UK. When I was growing up in the 70s, we only had one norwegian tv channel, nrk.

I can tell that you truly and sincerely thoroughly appreciated the performance. Thank you for caring so very much...
I’ve said it on other reactor’s videos and will say it again;
David is watching and smiling, watching 🧚 Aurora🧚 perform her magic on his masterpiece.
I honestly don't ever really get emotional when I hear of a 'celebrity' passing but I broke down at work when I heard Bowie found his rest. He has truly inspired me since childhood... She did this song so beautifully and Bowie would embrace this so warmly...
@@grauph1up absolutely and I think David would be as big of a fan of her as she is of him 😍
Seeing her live last year was just amazing, the best concert in my 52 years on this planet.
That's awesome RX7dude! That had to be incredible to see an audience captivated by her voice and be there within it.
@@grauph1up For sure, I have some of the concert on my page if you wanted to see some of it.I got pretty close maybe 15 feet from the stage.
Aurora singing a song from the 70th and playing a Rhodes from the same area , quite fitting! Phenomenal artist!
Thank you Leo! That rhodes accompanied her voice beautifully. She plays beautifully.
Looking at Graups reaction, I remembered my own reaction when I heard AURoRAs version of this song.🥰😢
And I Imaging David's looking down at her with his signature grin and givving 👍👍up!

Great rendition of Bowie's song great choice maybe you could try her version of Fampus Vlue Raincoat from Leonar Cohen, as always, she does a great job......and just imagine what The Duke would do if he was able to hear her singng his song.......she's just stunning......great choice!
I love Cohen's voice so much, I'll try to get to that one soon :) . Thank you Panchio!
Aurora makes an asounding cover of Cohen's FBR check both versions, his and hers ypu'll see what I mean

You spoke of her handling the song so delicately, with so much respect. (And I have watched this many times - very beautiful!). Another cover she did with same delicacy and respect was Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat". Absolutely breathtaking as she unfolded the story/song. It was at a memorial concert for Cohen, who had been one of Aurora's childhood musical inspirations, and who had recently died. You could see how emotional it was for her. Different artists sang one song each, so this was the one she chose:

I think the instrument she played was a 1970s Fender Rhodes piano.
Thank you Kristen :) It's a beautiful instrument!
The piano is a Fender Rhodes piano that was popular in the 70's.
Thank you again Runar! I'm going to have to check out some stuff based around that piano now...I remember the more wildly playing electric piano sounds, acid rock and stuff.... The tones and her voice were so seamless at times like vocal bells :)
Very nice! My favorite version of this cover, and she's always great with just keyboard/piano or guitar. A short clip where she forgets the lyrics (not a first for Aurora 😊), and has to ask the audience for help : ua-cam.com/video/GbpIjkfA32Y/v-deo.html
She's got great songs herself, but one of my favorite covers of hers is "La La La" from Radio Hamburg. Aurora with Odd Martin Skålnes on guitar/harmonies.
Every detail I learn about her I feel so much more understanding of her =,D Nerdmuma is used to me picking up somewhere in the middle of a conversation I've had going in my head =,D Thank you A Frisvold!
@@grauph1up "Conversations in my head" sounds familiar... I have some of those 😄. She's quite the introvert, and sometimes zone out on stage or during interviews. Comfortable with her flaws though, and handle it with humor. Most of her die hard fans connects with her personality as much as they do with her music.
So, how about some Leonard Cohen then?
Back in 2017, producer Christer Falck was project managing a tribute concert to celebrate Leonard Cohen, who had died in November 2016.
He had heard that Aurora was a big fan of Cohen so he contacted her management to see if she would be interested in taking part ...
It took a whole 15 minutes before he got a yes.

Thank you Peter! That one is going to be as soon as we get to record again I think. Cohens voice is a comfort to me. I'm really looking forward to Aurora performing this...
Have you checked her
Massiv Attac.(Teardrop cover)?
Nerdmuma said Yes she does and she thinks I do.. but she's about to find out I still have no idea who Massive attack is =D She says I know who they are.... and now she say's it's the 'House' song like that's going to help me haha.... I'm really not sure why I can never remember them... but yes Nerdmuma knows it and keeps telling me I'm not retaining the conversation we've had about it =,D
That's a vintage Fender Rhodes she's playing, almost sounds like a toy piano at times.
The Avett Brothers - Ballad of Love and Hate (live) 😢
Linda Ronstadt - La Charreada
Thank you Mathew! I wrote them both down I only remember the name Linda Ronstadt and I'm sure I've heard her songs but can't recall any names. Ah just looked her up and probably her doing Blue Bayou is what I remember. I don't think we've heard any Avett Brothers yet.
Yes, Aurora is an artist, no doubt. Angelina J, Aurora -- and Sigrid, could be counted in as a third very different option for a super Norwegian young woman power trio. Go Norway...
Thank you Christian! Norway is putting out amazing talent. Is there something specific from Sigrid to start on?
Looks like you both are a little bit in love with Aurora, I get it, me too :)
Thank you Nueren! Absolutely! Aurora is the only music that has entranced our little one too :)
Did you notice anything strange sitting on top of her Rhodes piano?
If it looks like 6 dead cockroaches......it's cuz it is lol.
When Aurora was interviewed by Howard Stern she mentioned how she put them there....to help her feel less anxious. Aurora _loves_ bugs, especially moths. I've seen this a hundred times...and never noticed that until she mentioned it lol.
Wow that actually made the Sky concert mean that much more to me and the connection of moths... I will go back and point it out to Nerdmuma now =,D
