Aurora: - Fame is strange and unnatural | 2016 interview | English sub. | SVT/NRK/Skavlan

It made a lot of differences to have a physicist, an actress and a journalist, not a bunch of comedians talk with her. I kind of wonder how it was like that Aurora spoke Bergensk, some of other guests spoke Swedish, and it was also on Swedish TV. Did she speak differently in these occasions or? I ask because Martina looked baffled when Norwegians reacted accordingly.

I watch these interviews with Aurora and it makes me fall in love with Norwegian people. All those interviews are always respectful and not so hectic.

Yeah. As a norwegian I find media from afar hectic and even "messy". I don't understand why people can't just listen like they would when talking to a friend. A celeberty is just a normal human being with the same emotions and worries as others, and therefore we should treat them accordingly. I'm not trying to "degrade" Aurora. She's great and I love her songs, but she is still a normal, humble and relatable young adult.

[@anurishaasokan538]

“ I skipped the youth phase... young people have a little bit of small storms and it’s nice to be with adult people who have calmed the storms ♥️” how wise can she get ?

[@avedic]

lol indeed. Funnily enough she said in a livestream recently, like a year ago or so, that she feels like she's only NOW going through her "teenage years" as she put it. She said the pandemic gave her the freedom and space to relax a bit, drink wine, do weird random stuff, hook up with people, have fun, etc....stuff she kinda had to put on hold once her career skyrocketed. I'm glad she got the chance to balance things out a bit more. :)

[@Abbadonhades]

Aurora is a deep thinker as well as empathetic. It shows in how she considers each word and each sentence before she speaks. Aurora also wants to avoid being misunderstood I think.

[@reengineer2497]

but she often is misunderstood.

[@Abbadonhades]

@@reengineer2497 That is more down to many people's ideas of normality I believe. I'm thinking about her body movements. How she uses her hands so actively both in performances and interviews. How her eyes widens into intense stares. How when she dances, it is often something that might be called interpretive dancing. If one includes interviews Aurora is so refreshingly honest and blunt in her observations, which is unusual. She is so liberated and free from self consciousness. She is unbiased, speaks tolerance and acceptance. Aurora also speaks up for nature, for mental health et cetera. I think she is a wonderful human being, and a terrific role model. When you have freed yourself from society's conventions to such a large degree, it is easy to be viewed as weird and downright strange. Personally I wish to be more like her.

[@reengineer2497]

@@Abbadonhades the need to express our true selves or truth directly puts us in path of conflict mate. its a journey through adversity. life becomes a lot more challenging for those who see more. The Movie Dead Poets Society captures this very beautifully. I was too sure about myself that what I was doing by encouraging people in my life to observe more, learn more and trying to encourage people to their authentic selves was "good" but like a monkey that tried to save a fish out of water, sometimes making people see what was possible, because I was incapable of helping them figure out how to handle adversity my actions lead to lot of hurt and suffering, so it kind of looks like such encouragement is harmless and perhaps fruitful only for a subset of human population. I'm not contradicting you, I just wanted to share how trying to change the world by believing just that taught me how ignorant that belief is. which is why Aurora reminds me not just to encourage people to be authentic selves, but also to do something about creating a world that would be gentle with those who want to be themselves. in the end aren't practical actions what we need ? what actually brings change ?

[@reengineer2497]

@@Abbadonhades which is why I always also talk about anticipating adversity, its becomes absolutely necessary to understand where a person is coming from, the kind of circumstances they are in to reasonably assure so that we don't take away the choice ( red pill | green pill ) from the person. and when we are mindful that this is the case .. sometimes we help people by not helping, letting them suffer so they don't suffer more .. universe and life seem to be indifferent. this reasoning just shifts perspective so much, your r understanding of suffering, hurt, and life change drastically. almost liberating.

The sad comment about Katy Perry lost her freedom to just be a person could make me cry, but asthma and allergies battles have helped me gain "emo" strength. The balance will be interesting to find between saving yourself/ourselves with our freedoms and helping others.

[@wohdinhel]

We should go back to the music being about the music, not about worshipping the person that the music represents. Aurora is an incredible artist whose work I want everyone to be able to appreciate, but celebrity culture is toxic to artistry, and if she became “huge” like Katy Perry or the like, I’m sure it would run the risk of negatively impacting her music. It seems like this is yet another thing that Scandinavians are just a more evolved species about - plenty of Scandinavian artists have expressed similar anti-fame sentiments over the years, most notably Björk, and I really hope that Aurora doesn’t have to go through similar traumas in her career.

[@SantaCecilie]

She is getting bigger and bigger and has more and more followers that really adore her. But she is using that fame to be a good role model for them. To lift their spirits. Not for her own "pleasure". Sometimes people need role models to show them that it is OK to be in a certain way. She doesn´t settle with being a talented paid entertainer only.

I wonder to what degree there might be a slight language barrier in the conversation between Aurora and the other guests, since Aurora's mother tongue is Norwegian and she has to modify her normal speech a bit to make certain that that everyone can understand her nuances. One guest seems to be Swedish/Finnish based on his accent She clearly has the capacity to captivate her listeners through her unconventional endearing personality.

In hindsight, Aurora could feel what was wrong with Katy Perry and Katy had a tough time with Russell Brand which led to the eventual breakup.

Sai 97 AURORA is a young new Norwegian artist who comes from Bergen and has a style which one could caracterize as pop, but it is so much more than that. She really has her own style. Her music is very dreamy and the lyrics are very poetic. As they said in the video, she wrote some of the lyrics when she was only nine years old. You would just have to listen to understand. She is so unique. You should listen through her album All my Demons Greeting me as a Friend

[@OutOfRangeDE]

Norwegianeurovisionfancauseitsthebest I dont know much about esc and the election but here in germany there is a music show most times where you can vote via sms or phone call and the winner is the singer for esc then. But most times many newcomers are only listed for the show. But i barely know anything about the german music scene in genres with vocals. Most i hear from here is nothing special so i got uninterested.

[@sugarinmywounds]

We also have a national final. It's called Melodi Grand Prix, or MGP. We also have many newcomers listed. It differs from year to year though. This year we actually had mostly well-known people. Alexander Rybak went and won the whole thing. But I wish some of our most popular and unique artists would join MGP sometimes in the near future, with some great songs with a different sound. That would be awesome. Sigrid has said that she loves Eurovision. But I doubt that she will participate anytime soon, because the only problem with participating in MGP and eventually Eurovision is that it takes up a lot of time. When artists near their big break-through one could argue that this time is better spent in making new music, playing many conserts, and promo.
