🇳🇴 AURORA - Rasputin (Boney M Cover Acoustic /Live) | REACTION & REVIEW

[@MrTombre]

She also sang cure for me during this session. P3 (a Norwegian national radio station) sometimes hands out song assignments to artists who are guests, i think this is one of them. They have done it before with Aurora, they gave her Ariana Grandes God is woman and she got 1 hour to rearrange it with her band. This song came totally out of the blue so i think its one of the surprise songs by P3. You can tell they are having fun with this one =)

[@sandyloveday7292]

I like her version better than the original.

[@JeanDeLaCroix_]

I don't need a cure for me

[@vanessa_42]

I feel like the original song is very much about how horrible Rasputin was and about his rise to power. I feel like when she sings the exact same song, it’s more tragedy about the women and the queen truly putting their hopes and dreams into a man like that. It’s crazy how tone can almost change the meaning of the song

[@Goldun-nah]

Never thought about it like that! Absolutely spot on

[@jamesstubbs2228]

I remember this from the school play ground. As with all Auroras covers I listen to the lyrics like I never did on the original. I was not expecting that. At 58yrs old this young lady has blown me away and I have bought my first concert ticket in over 20yrs.

[@chrislowe4789]

Same here, my last concert was queen, it's a kind of magic tour. As soon as tickets were avalable I snapped them up for Glasgow. At 49years old iv never been so impressed with an artist, not just her voice but her whole performances.

[@anthonyharburn1103]

@@chrislowe4789 55 same hear... lol... she is awesome...

[@lailajensen8012]

This recording was a spontaneous challenge from P3. Only about 30 min to prepare it.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

that is a fantastic concept and shows, how talented the guests are. believer and god is a woman is also taken from this show

[@mechminded2207]

That surely cannot be true? I need to investigate.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

@@mechminded2207 i think they have one hour to prepare, anyway, absolutely fantastic results. "believer" is in my opinion way better than raputin. you know the song?

[@mechminded2207]

@@soleywolfgangsdottir only beacuse of Aurora. I possibly heard it on a radio and didnt think much of it, but Aurora's cover popped up when i was binge watching / listening.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

@@mechminded2207 its one of her best performances, together with live on mars and it happened quiet live at the current. but i have to say, that i'm an absolute fan of her live performances, but not her studio versions. she is great, of course, but the mixing of her records is not my cup of tea. for example, regarding susanne sundfor i love both, studio and live versions. in my opinion she is the best singer of our time.

[@Lixmo]

I love her style and interpretation of her and other songs. Aurora is a celestial being. You make great reaction videos. I like your voice and your charisma. Keep up the good work and stay as you are. Love greetings from Germany.

[@petermay3861]

From the moment I heard her, about 4 years ago. I've thought I'm witnessing the birth of one those "once in a generation" talents. If you really want a treat you should check out some of the stuff she did with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. Soulless Creatures stole a piece of my heart

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

twice in a generation, i'd say. the other one is susanne sundfor

[@timgrodesky4694]

That Bergen 2020 performance is stunningly beautiful and Soulless Creatures a work of musical art. Absolute best from Aurora each and every time...

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

well, not exactly once in a generation. susanne sundfør is also a "once in a generation-artist"

[@andreasclaussenwahl5518]

Sometimes folky but sometines there is a medieval sound to ut, which is fitting. Aurora, to me is a storyteller, or rather THE STORYTELLER. That’s what troubadours often did! And great reactions! Thank you!:-)

[@davidplanet3919]

Aurora and her band had 1 hour to learn and perform this cover by the TV/radio station. All of her covers are very good and worth checking out or a reaction. Thank you.

[@TheJoker718]

Omg really?!! Do they have a “behind the scenes” video about that? That makes this even more impressive!

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

If Im not mistaken she came up witn this in 15min Aurora is the Best of the best unique!!

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

That grin that slowly spreads over your face during the first line she sings….yeah, that one. It’s happened to all of us.

[@artlonga8647]

The best covers she has made must be Massive Attack "Teardrop", Naughty Boy "La La La" and David Bowie" Life on mars" and Ariana Grande "God is a woman". Must say that her acustic sessions are fantastic ( Christinas radio festival, "The Seed" from earth day, National Geographic. "It happed quiet" at Current. And so many more...) The one concert that is going to blow your mind is KEXP from Island.

[@symplyeargasmic]

Across the universe for me is her best, second to the leonard cohen joint.

[@artlonga8647]

@@symplyeargasmic Thanks for replying. Maby Beatles cover was clocest to original, still tastefully and beatifully done. Somehow Cohens melody just does not exite me, witch is probably my loss. Lets agree- she have not made a bad cover yet.

[@symplyeargasmic]

Yes wide variety for us to enjoy.

[@LunarCauldron]

I only knew about God is a woman, I need to hear the others now thank you!😍

[@annebritraaen2237]

Don't forget Imagine Dragons "Believer" and The Mahogany Sessions

[@hezvandermeij]

Hadn't heard nor knew this one at all yet and I'm an avid listener of hers. Reacted alongside ya mate. This was amazing

[@kippys1]

AURORA really surprised me with this folk ballad version of RASPUTIN! She gave it new life as only she can!

[@FlameCold258]

AURORA, is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.(From the same country as Angelina Jordan). Among artists and in the music industry the Norwegian singer AURORA is synonymous with quality, and she can fill a record with masterpieces time and time again. Many others are glad they manage one hit. Billie Eilish said in an interview that it was AURORA that made her become an artist and were inspired after listen to Aurora. She is a true genius artist who does not make plastic / bikini music, but is true to real creative art.

[@jollyo9276]

No doubt, this song deserves this!! Quite a few songs deserves something like this. Auroras magical take on music.

[@RunarNyrud]

Aurora surprises us again and again..... 👏😎🇳🇴

[@markunating821]

Waiting for your Aurora live at KEXP 2018 man.. Youll see Rocker, magical and energetic Aurora.. 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@aeropilot4419]

… or the KEXP produced Iceland Airwaves concert, just after the release of IOADK 🙂🦋🐚✨

[@veronicaambler1846]

I got the Dolly Parton thing too! There was a bit of a Jolene feel to this!

[@kippys1]

I noticed this as well

[@PeterLGଈ]

Thank you for reacting to this. I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. An amazing version.

[@jorgediaz1013]

She is angelic

[@BKBM30]

You are so much fun to watch reacting. Something about your energy made me trust you immediately

[@nickbrooks3807]

Loving your Aurora reactions, I think we stumbled upon her around the same time... Never heard of her before, bizarrely! She blows me away with every song she sings & she's such a talented, beautiful free spirit 🕊️

[@Geralt26]

She said they did it in 15 minutes (in YT comments). Also there are information for other her covers to this station that there are very limited time to make cover (like 1h). Yes this cover was very unexpected for me but great:). And in case of Aurora if she performs it does not matter a lot if it is big stadium or 2 persons she is very in music:).

[@vincentmb238]

Realy nice reaction. Why did i just discover your channel only today ? I know what I have to do now.

[@frankieshankly703]

Watched quite a few reactions of this song, you are the first that names the country queen, an obvious inspiration

[@eldridbakk8623]

Enjoying your reaction of Aurora 😊.thank you!

[@lillm6874]

Everything she touches becomes gold, YESSS! She’s unique!😍😍❤️

[@garethalford682]

Her Voice is Pure Magic 🎶🪄✨👂🏻♥️

[@SanxBile]

Wait... Is Rasputin a beautiful song? I never knew! Wow!

[@emmari0601]

Loved, l o v e d, LOVED this reaction! She IS something else, - so proud of her! Much love from Norway

[@JimboKM]

Somehow I was totally unaware of this. Thanks. I'm all for her recording a complete album of acoustic folk music with her band.

[@davidherd1855]

I am so pleased that you are giving time to Aurora, if you like what you have seen and heard in just a few visits, prepare to be gobsmacked. The gig in the Cathedral is outstanding, so much so I have played the whole thing, or in part every night since I saw it. I love what Angelina and Aurora are doing for music, they are both a breath of fresh air. Aurora makes me laugh, and sometimes cry, check out some of her interviews, she is quite quirky, and I love her for it. Thanks for doing this. Take care 😄

[@roderickmacd2841]

Aurora is out there, that's her style and what she grooves too.

[@celinel9750]

I agree so much with what you said, I knew that song, kind of pop rock that we were dancing on, but she is such a stong story teller that she gave live to that old funny hit, making it almost a new thing. Thank you for your reaction.

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Aurora is a musical avatar - she is the music. Thanks !

[@mariahhall3401]

Loved the comparison to Dolly Parton. They do have that same piercing, haunting quality on the high notes. Just two ladies of the forests and mountains bringing beauty to our world 💛

[@christopherbaker7005]

You nailed it with the Dolly Parton comment - bluegrass Jolene rhythm carries this song into northern-Euro folk.

[@davidhines68]

You undersold the original. Not only was it very 70s and bouncy, it featured a dancer as lead vocalist, a dancer in metallic harem pants and without a shirt, and, oh, by the way, didn't actually sing. Brought to us by Frank Farian, who also brought us Milli Vanilli. If it weren't a hilarious spectacle, it wouldn't be much of anything except perhaps a bit catchy in spots.

[@PeterLGଈ]

Ah, you had to be there, in a disco at 3AM after a night of drinking when Boney M's version started hammering through the speakers ... it was a different time 😂 🕺🏼

[@johndennison3140]

Apparently she is going to sing the phone book next,but let’s face it she could do that with ease GENIUS ❤️

[@Fingfafa]

Aurora -Gentle Earthquake (Live on KEXP) super lovely dance in this live video, u have to watch it

[@Gh0stHack3r.]

The Aurora Nidaros Concert is a Christmas Concert done together with local TV here in Norway, should be fine without pause. Go for it great one.. Also the one from KEXP reikavik island. (15474) Aurora - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) - KZbin

[@Rackelhane]

She is just wonderful. Can't wait to se her in Kristiansand in july. Great reaction. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@Bwachaauh]

Aurora does awesome covers. And you're right. There's something very Jolene about this cover.

[@gustavobrito3655]

Yes!

[@RuneMoenHolmen]

You react as I did. She's amazing. This was a great one (again)

[@walterF205]

7:57 "... That smile!!!" XD Man, I liked your emotion, I heard in your voice.

[@peterjack840]

You need to watch the live concert "Aurora - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)", it's performance energy and charm are unbelievable!

[@PiercedBrosmen]

There are quite a few covers by Aurora on youtube and as far as I know, the majority of them are one-off performances, performed for radio stations and such. Others are songs that are very close to her heart. Once you do the Nidarosdomen concert, you'll experience 3 of them. 😍 To avoid recommending something already mentioned in the comments, I'd throw in a suggestion for her "Across the Universe" (The Beatles) cover.

[@KWHrusov]

she had some country-western tones that reminded me of the Dolly Parton vibe from joline. I think that is what you hear

[@caseya463]

I try to steal myself from the inevitable way her voice grabs at my heart in such a way that I feel my soul as a tangible thing... I don't know if that makes any sense at all. The beauty of it makes you sad that you don't have longer to live and feel. Those pipes have been blessed. God please keep Hollywood away from her.

[@torfinnjensen5052]

Listen to her cover of the Beatles «Across the Universe» or David Bowie «Life on Mars»

[@einark6568]

The australian radio station "Like A Version" made two times a "on the go challenge cover" with Aurora. One time with her alone, when Massive Attacks "Teardrop" was the task. Anonther time with her band when "Across the universe" was the challenge. They also made a hillarious interview with her...ehe

[@1246basse]

Yes,agree! They are both amazing.

[@jollyo9276]

Totaly agree!!

[@TomTomson81]

Rasputin is just one of several covers Aurora has made. But they all have one thing in common... Aurora makes these her own. 😁 In the original, the lyrics are by no means as important as they are here. In the original a party song... here is something to think about. Next Aurora "I went to far" live at honda stage pls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2Okoph-ZqyDqZY

[@mauriceholder1386]

You're right it has a hint of Jolene from Dolly Parton.

[@Mogwaii_97]

I recommend you to listen "Exist for love" ✨💖 it's magical.

[@konarudz9910]

This is literally the best version of the very same song... Can't get it out of my head no matter which other alternate version I hear😅

[@KarlOlofsson]

Seen comments about it here and there. Apparently the radio station just gives them a song which they have to interpret and perform on fairly short notice. Hence the out-of-character choice of tune you notice.

[@Paul.Chaffey]

She also covered "Life on Mars" from Bowie. That's exactly how to change a song and make it her own.

[@atco8435]

Just to let you know, she is going to Manchester in april. Tickets are already out.

[@beerye3]

If you’re looking for more words to describe her ability to conjure feelings and imagery, then I’d include emotive or evocative. She becomes an avatar or medium through which songs and just seem to flow. 🤷‍♂️

[@ainolcrystal6182]

tube has loads of Rasputin versions, mostly inspired of the Boney M version, now This, this is something completely different :)

[@Sarah-nc1jb]

I never would have thought of Dolly and Aurora, but I can can see ot a bit now. Jolene, Jolene..ra, ra Rasputin. Both very clear voiced story tells that can pull you into their world in just a few lines.

[@rocroc]

Gaelic. There seems to be a "maturity" to this song. I like it (as usual).

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

OK I think you're ready for "The Seed"

[@alyssaosborne3299]

Her song I went to far is amazing and sad and just I think you would love it so much

[@beatnpotatoes]

Please check out her song Exist for love….so so good.

[@joskogeler6421]

Agree. Cure for me from the same recorded session is worth checking out. Partly very different from the original.

[@Forbidaxe]

I think it's time to get one of AURORA's upbeat song's on the go... "Queendom"... I like it...

[@shireeni8665]

Who would've thunk!! Aurora is simply amazing and awesome 😇❤️- cannot believe I am enjoying something by Boney M!!

[@Gilmaru]

My favorite song of hers is "Under the water". You should try the live version on the Honda stage specifically.

[@paulkossak7761]

Turned disco into folk. Astounding!

[@Morpholaf]

Yes. This is Boney M meets Dolly Parton meets Aurora =) Loved your reaction =)

[@WendyBandurskiMiller]

THAT SMILE

[@andywessel]

i got the Dolly vibes too :) She actually made a disco song into a ballade.

[@KDashing]

Cure For Me is a much different vibe from AURORA's usual, but definitely worth a listen. Would love to see a reaction to it :)

[@cestriatherapy7832]

She needs to cover Jolene. I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it 😍

[@ispbrotherwolf]

She is a Sprite (look up European Mythology). Her power is to pull us in to a better world. How this world should, but is not.

[@twocardtarot6479]

To me this one song sums up Aurora's genius!

[@bjrnegillarsen1380]

One thing I would love is to see what Aurora, Candice Night and Richie Blackmore would come up with if they got together to write and perform

[@henrikp329]

Thank you. I can also strongly recommend 'Aurora - Churchyard (Live from Iceland Airwaves for The Current)'. Whether or not you make a video, just enjoy the amazing performance. Cheers

[@Bindilove]

I love the frozen into the unknown cover she did

[@s.epennington94]

You should check out her cover of David Bowie's Life on Mars!

[@GreyWolfTV]

ill be doing that one next, thanks!

[@FattyFPV]

The exact minute you said something about country, I was already thinking about Dolly. That one bit had hints of Jolene. Could Aurora sing Jolene?

She did the same with “Is there Life on Mars”. I think of her like Joni Mitchell and her lyrics that she seem to flow out of nowhere.

Another less radical but nevertheless interesting cover would be her version of the Beatles' Across the Universe...

[@johnnyshih498]

Nice reaction! If you want to check out another great unexpected cover try Imagine Dragons’ Believer at P3 Christine live. For an original try Soulless Creatures live at Bergen 2020.

+1 for Soulless Creatures … what a haunting song
