Aurora - Teardrop | REACTION | First Time Hearing

[@tx0h]

she has a massive catalog, just dive into the rabbit hole and you don't need to look for other artists for at least one year. never boring, always exciting. thanks for your reaction. i'm curious what aurora song you will pick next. btw: she is best live in unplugged sessions and she isn't capable to write bad songs.

[@kevdenn]

Check out Aurora performing "Lucky" from her concert at the Nidarosdomen cathedral in Norway. She performed a whole concert at the cathedral some years ago, and it's purely magical. Aurora Aksnes 28 from Bergen in Norway started forming melodies at the age of 6 with the words coming when she was 9. She never intended to be an artist and had no thoughts of being in the music industry. She is a singer-songwriter, producer, musician, and a trained dancer. She has recently released her latest album, "What happened to the heart."and is currently on another world tour. Aurora is great live in concert. Thanks

[@garygreen1782]

Aurora is weird and wonderful and altogether delighted.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

weird and wonderful sounds amazing!

[@user-ji3yw9sm1d]

Yes she's the master of the slides and vibratos,angelic to the core!!!!!!

[@hakanandersson1276]

Hello there! Great reaction Lady! Not dumb in fact the opposite! Welcome to AURORA´s world were everyone would be happy and little shooked. I would suggest one song that already been suggested LUCKY in Nidarosdomen or Through the eyes of a child in the same venue. Two hauntig beautiful song especially the first one. For me that is the best performance ever been made. Hope to see ya soon in an AURORA reaction

[@stephenbarlow2493]

Great reaction. Elizabeth Fraser, was long one of my favourite vocalists, and still is. But Aurora is just sensational. Do check out, her Vevo live performance, of A Soul With No King, from her latest album. I think it is one of the greatest live performances, ever.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Seconded.

[@mokasajin]

please reaact to Aurora performing live in Nidarosdomen, also her song the murder song (5,4,3,2,1) from The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert you will LOVE it ❤

[@sapphosmuse1243]

I’m totally here for more Aurora content :)

[@timgrodesky4694]

Great song choice for an introduction to Aurora. She has done a number of covers and interprets them all with such care you would think she wrote them. Try Across the Universe/Beatle cover or Life on Mars/David Bowie cover or Believer/Imagine Dragons cover. Look forward to watching more in the future. !!

[@chuckletourneau5542]

Did I lie? She's Norwegian. Aurora covers everything amazingly. Check out "Across the Universe", "Life on Mars", "Rasputin" (yes, Rasputin by Boney M!).

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Rasputin? Really!? Holy carp, I have to check that one out for sure. I've written all of these down, thank you!

[@tx0h]

i really prefer her original songs.

[@adriWHTTH]

"Life On Mars" and "Across the Universe" holy sh*t! Yes!

[@chuckletourneau5542]

​@@tx0hSo do I... and I love her live studio versions of her own songs even more than the album versions in most cases.

[@laluba3603]

@@chuckletourneau5542 Except "The Seed" that MV is an artwork in itself, and so beautiful.

[@adriWHTTH]

❤❤❤ Aurora is amazing, her art is transcendental, her impact is something unique to me

[@reverbva]

I’ve been a fan since 2018. Discovered her through NPR’s Tiny Desk performance. Luckily I’ve been able to see her twice and I have another concert coming up in December (DC). Her live performances are out of this world! Welcome to the wonderful world of Aurora!

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Nice reaction to this really fantastic cover. Aurora is an amazing song writer, she has a very large discography for you to explore, please continue on your discovery of her with her own songs too. She is really a lyrical genius along with being a great live performer, she is really performance art live. Thanks.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

Aurora has vibrato, she can sing like an actual angel, and she can belt as well. I think Aurora is probably the most underrated vocalist on the scene. She has amazing vocal control. She can dance, beat her chest, run around, lay down, and never miss a note. Her range is crazy. She does some of the best vocalizations and earth chants I've ever heard.

[@slavaukraini404]

I think Eivor is the most underrated vocalist given she is probably one of the greatest ever, maybe the greatest ever, but little known. Eivor can go form throat singing to Opera in a heartbeat with perfect pitch and her ability to improvise is beyond belief. Never does anything the same way twice. Eivor is the singer where you often can't believe what you are hearing. Aurora is brilliant, love her too. I have been lucky enough to see both live and consider both the best artists since Kate Bush.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

@@slavaukraini404 I mean underrated as in people think that Aurora doesn't have the vocal ability. I've heard several people say "She may not be the strongest vocalist..." etc. several times in the past. I think she proved herself on this album.

[@user-ji3yw9sm1d]

Yes, she's the master of vibrato!!

[@yarsheets4572]

I'm so glad you discovered Aurora. When I was watching your first two Ren reactions over the last week or so I kept thinking that you would really like Aurora. You've got a journey ahead of you sister. She just released her fourth (or fifth, depending on who's counting) album "What Happened to the Heart" in June and it's a banger. It's absolutely worth listening to some of it to get a sense of who she is now and what she is thinking about as the album is very contemporary in its theme. But very worth visiting her older music too. As many will tell you, her live performances (especially early on in her career) are the best. This is because her stage presence is just something unique. But she also has a lot of music videos which are very worth watching. I don't think I've seen a bad video. So enjoy Aurora. You have a lot to hear and see.

[@Geralt26]

She is amazing Artist with a lot of variation in her music. She sometimes do also covers (amazing ones). It is worth to check more from her as she has so much great music. .

[@arctic-1878]

I'm here for more Aurora, you have so much good stuff to look forward to! Her live performances are amazing.

[@high5petservice944]

You are in for a treat with this woman!

[@RunarNyrud]

Aurora Borealis, the northern lights, are one of the most magical wonders of the world..... Aurora Aksnes? Same thing! She is a fantastic ARTist, and human! She is wierd (uniq), funny, child like (she think it is important to keep her inner child), highly intelligent and just a fantastic inperfect human! Please check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen!

[@scottlaurenson3390]

Through the eyes of a child live is stunning ✌️♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

[@juggletom]

Yes please check her out! Nice reaction , i liked it.

[@Tarkus_]

She claims to be from Norway, but rumor has it that she's actually alien. 👽😏 I really hope to see more Aurora on your channel! 👍🤟

[@johnytwo]

There is a second version of this cover, where you can see at the end, how deeply is Aurora immersed in her performance. It is her thing. And one of the reasons I adore her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laiqoHWQbbymn9U

[@slavaukraini404]

AURORA's cover of The Beatles Across The Universe is the best cover I have heard by anybody, ever. Her and Eivor are must listen too artists, both very different, but both brilliant in different ways. I rate Eivor the greatest vocalist on the planet, but I love AURORA's vocals also and in particular her arrangements. In songwriting both are prolific in volume and quality. It's amazing that we have these two artists at the same time and they come from a similar region, Norway and The Faroe Islands. Best artists since Kate Bush. Both have collaborated with the same people, but I'm waiting for the AURORA/EIVOR collaboration patiently.

[@Toxicdemon2]

She is indeed Norwegian. And her voice is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. She is multi talented. She sings, writes, composes, dance, paint. And on top of her being gorgeous... She also has the most beautiful and funny personality. Als that combined made me fall in love with her.

[@HalkerVeil]

This is going to be an interesting journey to watch if Aurora is new to her.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Aurora is different in all ways. All her songs are different as is each performance. Stick to her live performances, they are generally best as she sings in the moment. She has some good covers but most of her work is original. I would point you to her concert at the Nidarosdomen a few years back. It's a master piece.

[@jefferyedoherty]

Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole. You have stumbled into a truely magical place. I hope your journey hear is long and beautifully strange. You need to listen to some of her own songs.

[@Harald4340]

I liked your reaction very much. Please continue with this incredible unique artist.

[@zpookey]

You need to see her whole concert at Nidarosdomen and especially "Through the eyes of a child". All her original songs are out of this world.

[@KittyKarenpoo]

Norwegian, and one of the most inspirational vocalist/performers/writers/producers on the planet. She has a lot of outstanding original songs. Her best cover is God is a Woman, so check that out, also done on the fly in a radio station. But to be honest, listening to Aurora for covers is kind of absurd. You must see her own work, and you need to see it live. Nidarosdomen concert is outstanding, with the songs: Lucky, Murder Song and Through the Eyes of Child, best in that concert. The best place to hear her vibrato, since you mentioned it, is in the Piano version of her song, Temporary High: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIPFdJSrgNCkpdk For insane emotion in vocal work, listen to the following: Best song to knock your socks off is Lucky: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d563mqSIZ8SJd9k or the song Murder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLZl3d6es9jkM0

You just stepped into the Aroura rabbit hole, good luck. Your in for an amazing journey. .

[@Josian-ps7fb]

Her covers are sure amazing, and most of them I far more different from the original than is this one, which is very respectful to Elizabeth Frazer's thoughts, to me, while having the Norwegian's beautiful stamp, through the vocal variations which come to her. She really has a knack to catch the spirit of the lyrics and to rend them "as they have always meant to be", so to speak. To add to the list I've already seen in these comments, one whose original is not my cup of tea, and another one (to watch both absolutely, even if only privately, for your own sake!😀) 20181004 - AURORA - NRK P3 - God is a woman: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXqTqmlsqqeFl6M (original by Ariana Grande) 20171102 - AURORA - Nidarosdomen - 01/12 Nature boy (cover): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpiYi3Z_lpqNp68 (original sung by Nat King Cole) That being said, her own talent fits even better her own discography. Anyway, thanks for this reaction to Aurora, this genuine and endearing Norwegian artist.🙂👍

[@lillm6874]

Great reaction👍 Omg, what an adorable dog❤️❤️❤️ I subscribed in the hopes for more Aurora👍 Aurora has been my favourite artist for 9 years, she will be my favourite until the end❤️🦋 I highly recommend checking out her own songs, they’re fantastic😍 “Through the eyes of a child” live at Nidarosdomen (cathedral in Norway) 2017 “Runaway” live at the Nobel peace prize concert 2015 This was her breakthrough song, and is a great place to start. She wrote it when she was 11 years old😳 “The Seed”, I recommend both the music video + live at Vevo (two different versions) “It Happened Quiet” live at Current This song was inspired by domestic violence, she gets killed and in the end she comes back to haunt him. Aurora rarely write songs about herself, she’s inspired by our planet and the creatures living here💙🦋 All her albums are worth checking out😍

[@notvochkin]

Check out her originals, she is a great songwriter! As for covers, she makes the songs better. My favorites is her covers of Imagine Dragon's "Believer" .

[@rickb.4168]

She’s not making this song better. I like this cover. But it’s not not Liz F. 😂

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

@@rickb.4168 It is all a matter of personal preference and I like the original but I love this cover, apples and oranges, taste is different for everyone.

: ) She does alot of covers. Even covers of her own music done in different fashions. Even secret covers only released on fan yt channels. :)

[@jeremyEasley-kc6wz]

If you like that subtle vibrato listen to Lucky in Nidarosdomen live. Got to listen to that one.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you, that one is one of the next one's on my list!

[@jeremyEasley-kc6wz]

@@TheRealMommaOG awesome!!

[@HalkerVeil]

Aurora watches a lot of reaction channels and she does not copyright claim her songs on them. So you should be good to do any of her stuff. Maybe an exception on collabs. I'd recommend anything from Nidarosdomen concert. Or the full thing uploaded in parts? There's a lot of back story to her and she writes her own songs since she was a kid. Some of them are kind of dark for various reasons and I won't go into why here. But she has a happy contrast as well. There are documentaries on her that are worth watching some day.

[@ispbrotherwolf]

To take Aurora into account is that she is a Sprite (European myth). What ever she touches she makes her own. On the way she makes people calm and strong.

[@silversong4VR]

I love your outros lol. I'm here for more Aurora, & Ren and hoping you discover Diana Ankudinova along your reactions travels. ❤

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you... those are my babies in the outro. I could think of nothing better to use for them. I have a Diana Ankudinova song on my list so please stay tuned!

It's a cover for song by Massive Attack, feat. Liz Fraser, from 1998. Check it too

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Yep, I think I mentioned at the beginning that I am very familiar with that song and the band Massive Attack. Angel and Paradise Circus are two of my favorites from them, along with Teardrop. Love, love, love them! THanks for your comment!

[@melingtube]

Love this cover. I discovered this artist through this song, and now I've become a big fan! While her original stuff is fantastic, her covers are equally exceptional. I suggest you check out her cover of Life on Mars by Bowie. Also very good.

Having an Aurora party today but we call only play her unrecorded tracks. All warriors and weirdos and the odd demon are welcome xx

[@eckligt]

Please also check the band EPICA (from The Netherlands), and I suggest "Unleashed" (live at Retrospect) as a good first song.
