Vocal Coach/Musician Reacts: AURORA ‘Believer’ Imagine Dragons - In Depth Analysis!

[@mammastenhjerte]

Yes, this was last-minute. This is on the radio show P3 LIVE where the artist come for an interview and get to sing one of their own songs and then the twist, they have to perform a cove,r but they only get to know the song when they arrive at the studio, so there is a short time frame for them to make an arrangement and learn the song. Aurora has done several songs on this show like this; God is a Woman, Wrecking Ball and the Christmas song Det hev ei rose sprunge ("Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" (literally "A rose has sprung up") )

[@tinntinnamp]

wrecking ball was beautiful!

[@Einyen]

And "Rasputin" was the latest one in that series of covers and the first one without "Christine Dancke" as the show host.

[@nicelynnpelep1126]

Thanks for the info on that. Never knew thats how they did that, WOW, that is impressive. That goes to show how talented Aurora really is! Love it❤️‍🩹❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

[@eleanor4759]

Never knew this. Absolutely insane

[@mcm8737]

Why is she not enormously famous? She is so amazing, just true artist, give me the feels. Am always so enthralled with any song she does, she is a real life fairy. 👍🍀

[@wooshbait36]

Because she's not the best vocalist, and she's possibly autistic.

[@theuzumakikay8647]

Hey she sung for Disney. One of their best songs “Into the Unknown” for the sequel of the movie Frozen

[@paulkossak7761]

She pulls on you like the moon pulls on the tide. Can't take my eyes off her.

[@reiiyalwayswithpixy]

Every song that aurora touch become Magical

[@vincentcarrot]

7:40 exactly that. She travels between worlds.

[@timgrodesky4694]

Absolutely stunning! She also performs from this same set her own rarely performed song Animal Soul which is a MUST MUST see!

[@hatai]

THIS!

[@Einyen]

Yes!!! "Animal Soul" is an unreleased song which only exist in live versions no studio versions. There are 3 beautiful live versions (besides phone recordings from concerts), maybe NRK P3 is the best, but the other 2 deserves a listen/view as well: NRK P3 (Dec 2017): youtu . be / aXtAVhyqY7I (Aurora on piano with 2 backup singers) TV 2 Norway (June 2017): youtu . be / i3WK73eXK14 (Aurora on piano alone) Verftet Online Music Festival (March 2020): youtu . be / CADUQIDjc8s (Aurora on piano alone)

Here are the watch codes only, my comment was blocked even when leaving spaces in the links like I normally do, I guess I'm blacklisted somehow 😞 NRK P3 (Dec 2017): aXtAVhyqY7I (Aurora on piano with 2 backup singers) TV 2 Norway (June 2017): i3WK73eXK14 (Aurora on piano alone) Verftet Online Music Festival (March 2020): CADUQIDjc8s (Aurora on piano alone)

[@hakanandersson1276]

For me it is the verftret performance The NRK venue is horrible to much distractions

[@tinntinnamp]

YES Animal Soul is a MUST

[@X_ch4ng3]

Great reaction 😊👍The notes in front of her are probably lyrics. This video is from a Norwegian radiostation. And this show gives their guests a song to do a cover of. They only get an hour or so to prepare. It was the same on her "god is a woman" cover.

[@RunarNyrud]

This is on my "night" playlist.... The playlist of preformances that makes me forget everything about the days challenges, and just listen to the music..... I just love it..... Her voice.....

[@kennethviar7534]

Masterpiece ! She made me like the song better actually .

[@notvochkin]

Re the lyrics, she did change them, the rappy sections are much shorter and slightly different, and the outro part "You're the fires of the future..." was another verse starting with "Last things last..." and the lyrics somewhat changed there as well. I like Aurora's version much better and part of it is that her style makes the lyrics more intimate, more like she is acknowledging pain as part of her, whereas the Imagine Dragons seems more raging against it.

[@jailaye6929]

I like her version better to. Like you said, it's more intimate and Aurora knows how to draw us in. Her voice just seems to get better with age . . . .

[@HAL-cm2ib]

Other great covers by her are: "La la la" by naughty boy - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5i3lZt_oLCSgZY "Make You Feel My Love" by Bob Dylan - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l17HYpuZq8Z9a6M Another, almost acoustic, version of "Teardrop" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/laiqoHWQbbymn9U Last but not leasr her epic cover of Leonhard Cohens "famous blue raincoat" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZLJYZqwhricha8

[@Einyen]

In my opinion this version of "Make You Feel My Love" she did on a live stream is even more beautiful: youtu . be / f2avKa4iMEY&t=5m45s

[@fredk3710]

Hi Nina, it is most likely that the notes on her keybord are indeed last minute arrangements. It's a recurring item on a radio-show on Norwegian NRK-P3 radio, that an artist who is invited to the show, is given a randomly picked song and is asked to arrange a cover of that song in less than an hour. AURORA's covers of "God Is A Woman" by Ariana Grande, "Rasputin" by Boney M, "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus and this song "Believer", are all examples of these "Less than one hour" cover songs.

[@lillm6874]

It’s not randomly picked, they choose from a list. But Aurora had never heard of Imagine Dragons before, she just loved the name cause she loves dragons 😊

[@Einyen]

@@lillm6874 What book? Do you know exactly how they do this? With Rasputin the hosts made it sound like Aurora chose the song in advance before she arrived, but then Aurora wrote a youtube comment saying they only rehearsed for ~15 minutes. In my opinion it is a bit annoying the hosts do not explain it a bit better, so we know the background. There is a big difference between doing a cover with 15-60 minutes of rehearsal to one you prepared before you arrived.

[@lillm6874]

@@Einyen She didn’t know which song until she arrived the radio station, there she was given a list (not book, my fault ) with songs to choose from😊 She said this at the radio station: “I'm not that good at new music - as everyone probably knows. I also went through their lists - and saw the name Imagine Dragons. I had not heard of them before - and thought it was such a cool name - DRAGONS ARE SO COOL!”

[@Einyen]

@@lillm6874 Thank you for the info. I wish they would be a little more specific at least saying that she chose it from their list, and then maybe specify even more like how many there were to choose from and even the other alternatives. Maybe that is just me, but I think everyone was surprised when she covered Rasputin, so it would be nice to know exactly how that happened instead of thinking she chose it herself out of the blue.

[@lillm6874]

@@Einyen agreed 👍

[@breathezen]

She also has a music video of her cover of Simon and Garfunkel's classic :Scarborough Fair", which sounds perfect with her traditional Scandinavian roots blended in - a medieval flair!

[@johndennison3140]

One word Genius

[@ninaschofield]

Agreed!

[@johndennison3140]

Hi Nina thank u for the reply I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her live 3 times and I can honestly say that she is without doubt the best live performer I’ve ever seen and trust me at my tender age of 66 🤣 I’ve seen many artists live in concert but no one else has ever moved me like this young artist,my friends often ask me for my favourite song of hers and to be honest that’s hard but if I were pushed it would be an unreleased song called animal soul,her live performance of this song is stunningly beautiful I honestly can’t believe it’s unreleased,would love you to react to it Nina,stay safe ❤️🍎❤️

[@nateped1]

@@johndennison3140 Yes I second, Third, and Forth that lol. Animal Soul is amazing! I don't see anyone react to it for some reason. I would have to say it's my favorite as well. Please check it out Nina....

[@desireeban4694]

I love her. Thanks Nina. ❤️

[@hakanandersson1276]

Hello dear!! For me this is my favourite cover from her. Her tone and phrasing is masterclass, Thank you Nina!!

[@maxsteiner1964]

Welcome back lovely Nina. This is one of my favorite performance ever. Love from Norway.

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

Nina, you've got to see her "Piano Sessions" version of 'A Temporary High'. You love how she covers other people's songs, well she does it with her own songs too 😲 AURORA - A Temporary High - Radio 1 Piano Sessions : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z53SgWSCesZ9fqc

[@warrior4633]

Yeees another Aurora reaction

[@warrior4633]

Thank you

[@peterjack840]

pretty amazing for someone who is self-taught on piano.

[@lillm6874]

Love your reaction 🤗 I really like the original, it’s a really great song. But Aurora makes it to a whole different song, and it’s sooo beautiful ❤️ And it’s easier to hear the lyrics and understand the meaning of the song 👍 Aurora visits P3 Christine Live: “- I'm not that good at new music - as probably everyone knows. I also went through their lists - and saw the name Imagine Dragons. I had not heard of them before - and thought it was such a cool name - DRAGONS ARE SO COOL!” AURORA Could you please react to Aurora with: “Exhale Inhale” live at VEVO This live version of the song is amazing 😍 If you’ve already seen it, could you please react to: “In Boxes” live at VEVOHALLOWEEN 2016 This song is about “Aurora” killing men and hides the bodyparts under her bed 😳😊 There was an old lady living in Auroras neighbourhood, and the children were scared of her. And with Auroras imagination she made this song. It’s a song that’s on the “Running with the wolves” EP ✌️🌍❤️

[@sevilnatas]

Isn't this a radio show where they give the artist the song they want them to do about an hour before? I believe this is the same show where they gave her "God is Woman" which is brilliant also. She basically remakes the song into something totally new.

[@kumarimanjula4416]

Wonderful. You are the best AURORA song reactor ever. World is waiting for our warrior another song reaction. Hi Nina you have to watch It happened quiet at current studio version. It was absolutely good

[@tylerhackner9731]

Awesome

[@1968usaf]

Have you seen this video "Aurora - Conqueror (Live From The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon)"? I'd like to see your reaction.

[@matthewmills7988]

Another great one to react to would be To be loved, by Askjell, which features Aurora as a singer. its such a unique and musically interesting song, with lots of emotion. id love for you to listen to it. its a piece of art.

[@esh1771]

React to "The Devil Is Human" by Aurora.

[@UlixNova]

I love your reactions

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you so much

[@Geralt26]

Aurora covers in P3 are usually made in a very short time. And if you get new song to cover and short time to do it then you have notes :). Thx for another very cool reaction :). Ps. And there are sill more cover she made :). Some of them I listed in the "URORA sings HARRY STYLES ‘Golden’" reaction (and it is also not complete list :) ).

[@markstuartwakeley]

Nice one Nina stay safe x

[@nicelynnpelep1126]

Hello Nina Schofield, thanks for another lovely reaction to the Enchantress AURORA. Can you please do a reaction to her cover of INTO THE UNKNOWN. It is absolutely beautiful and I think you'll agree when you hear it. Thanks 😊

[@roegoleg]

I had to comment about this same NRK session where she does an acoustic piano version of her own song I Went Too Far. If you thought her performance was impressive here, you will even be more in awe.

[@Kian-92]

❤

[@gliebzeit]

Thank you for your in-depth reaction and analysis of Aurora covering 'Believer'. Your insights reveal much more of the performance to me. I also love how you are enthralled by some of Aurora's ethereal techniques and magic. Thank you, Nina. Please have a listen to a couple of her own songs with just acoustic guitar and backing vocals ... excellently recorded/filmed. From 2018 'Forgotten Love' performed live in a Brazilian radio studio - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2tgqWOntmlqNE 'Queendom' live at du SON dans mon SALON, France - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKfIZmqCqdapfJI From 2022 the song 'Exhale Inhale' performed live in the VEVO studio - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvGeombqJJpqJY

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

while everybody talks about aurora, and of course without a doubt this song is one of her most brilliant ones, no one talks about susanne sundfor who is an absolute role model of aurora and one of the best singer, songwriter and composer of our time. i don't get it, really. i have a clip in my playlist where susanne receives the nrk radio award 2014 and a very young aurora is standing besides susanne, admiring her, and all i get on each reaction channel is aurora, angelina, dimash and so on. (they are all good and so on, no question)

Thanks for another very nice reaction to Aurora's very nice arrangement of this well known song. But since I'm also a huge fan of Angelina Jordan, I'd love to hear your reaction to any of the well known songs that she has reinterpreted such as: I Put A Spell On You (black & white version at age 9), Bohemian Rhapsody (On AGT at age 13) &/or her most recent cover - Suspicious Minds (at age16). Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless both Aurora & Angelina.

[@stianhaugsrud3495]

Great reactions again, thank you! Another beutiful cover she've did, is "Famous blue raincoat" by Leonard Cohen, hope you get time to react to that one. Even among Believer and Teardrop, that's my favorit Aurora cover. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZLJYZqwhricha8
