Vocal Coach REACTS - AURORA 'Life on Mars?' (DAVID BOWIE COVER)

[@felipecampos3045]

oh boy, you NEED to listen to AURORA - It Happened Quiet (Live at Nidarosdomen). it is as close to real magic as you will ever be

[@HadassaMoon144]

Yes. Her covers are nice but her OWN music is heavenly!

[@geenageenapumpkineater6290]

Or the live at the Current version. It's just Aurora and Silja and it's beautiful ❤️

[@damhood2033]

Good suggestion. I also adore her cover of Ariana's God is a Woman

[@georgiacarias2160]

Yes ! So true !

[@Daedalus-ed5nd]

Wait, she played IN the church? I've been to Nidarosdomen, it's awesome.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Welcome to the world of Aurora. You ain't seen nothin', yet, although this cover is one heck of a lovely introduction to her.

[@DoHeHa]

I'm a big Bowie fan and normally don't listen to covers of his song but this one is incredible. Love the interpretation and her voice is stunning.

[@gratefulpitnicker]

He's smiling, watching her sing this.

[@thefriendsandpj]

check out this cover. it s much better than that one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foecm2Zql8SCZ8U

[@CorkScrewer]

@@thefriendsandpj Aurora did this cover to honor Bowie (he died in Jan '16, this was aired a month later on TV).

[@blakebrouwer3266]

@@thefriendsandpj Ehhh, Aurora's Vocals are better, for me, the only thing impressive with that is the piano.

[@Mike_H76]

@@blakebrouwer3266 I'd have to agree with you there, the piano is more technical... yet lacking the emotion. I would consider Aurora's version to be an HOMAGE, while the other is a cover. Edit: I'd bet Bowie would like Aurora's version more!!!

[@SimenFulland]

Welcome to Aurora's world. Dude. "Murder song" Live at the Nobel peace price concert. It will blow your mind:-)

[@shuriken4852]

My favourite live performance of hers is AURORA - It Happened Quiet (Live at Nidarosdomen). The Nidarosdomen is a very old Norwegian cathedral with incredible acoustics and this performance is with an orchestra.

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

That entire concert is mesmerising.

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

This concert is so wonderful

Same:)

[@andreanatsuminadeau5608]

Same (well more a chix then guy but you get the idea). Love her so much I'm actually learning one of her song IN NORWEGIAN (there's not many of those cuz she prefer to sing in english).

[@angusrobertson2515]

[@maehlers]

Watching your facial expressions was the best. When she leaves us hanging, your eyebrows are alive with anticipation. Truly fun to watch someone emotionally moved by beloved voices and songs.

[@pastelitoseco]

The way his face lightens up at the beginning. Yup, that's Aurora

[@reverbva]

She is a treasure. She sounds great in a full band, acoustic, or accapella setting. She does what she wants. It is evident in her documentary called Once Aurora. She fights with her management and record label to produce music she wants instead of making music for the radio. In it, she states that she doesn’t want to make a radio song and that she would be happy making music for the fans she already has because she has a real connection with them. Since then, her following has grown by leaps and bounds. Welcome to the wonderful world of Aurora.

[@AnthonyBouttell]

OMG. What an extraordinary talent. Singer/performance artist. I noticed she actually got an interesting harmonic overtone between her voice and the keyboard near the end. After listening to this. I spend the next two hours listening to her at live shows on stages/studios/tv/ a cathedral. Just blown away by her talent!!

[@vincentcarrot]

I recommend Black Water Lilies from her debut album. The ending is breathtaking.

[@williamalexander7481]

Your face when she first sang is pretty much my reaction to her. It's beautiful.

[@kippys1]

A lot of people are recommending the Nidaros Cathedral concert, which is quite amazing, and you should definitely go there! However, I was equally impressed by her more recent concert that took place in a forest (HAIK Concert, 2019). Also her performance at The Current and at KEXP in Iceland (where Bjork was in the audience). Her music video of "The Seed" is also quite brilliant! She has 3 albums so far, with another due in November. For covers, check out "God is a Woman," "Believer," and "Teardrop."

[@phoebeel]

Wait what the new album has been announced?

[@kippys1]

@@phoebeel No title revealed, but she is recording now in a castle. Due out in November

[@dingbat19]

[@mathildeeide3138]

[@Somer-set]

Best cover of a Bowie song .. ever.

Dynamics. Dynamics. Dynamics. That’s why this cover is my favorite cover Aurora has done. She is so good at being powerful and then drawing back . It just reels you into the music 😍

[@s_amylee]

Yes! her voice is ethereal. and yes haha, Aurora is quite a character and isn't afraid to express with her face and hands. checkout her cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack

[@jongu71]

”Leaping Luna Lovegood”, you exclaim... Many people have called Aurora a real life Luna Lovegood, watch her endearing quirkiness in any interview with her and you will understand why. She is a Potterverse fan herself and of course was sorted into Ravenclaw on Pottermore.

[@byezer5309]

Really? Hahahaah It'is a good connection, never thought of that.

[@Unintelligentful]

She is one of a kind and a beautifully kind person too.

[@thomaskevinburch9479]

she made me cry in just a few seconds of that song

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Ye, she does that :)

[@UlverHyler]

I don't even notice she pronounces things differently, but I'm Norwegian too! Norwegian is more tone driven than English, we tend to add more tone when we speak. I remember trying to pronounce Portuguese a long time ago and the Portuguese guy told me to drop the tonality I was adding, it was hard 😂 Aurora is the cutest, I love watching interviews with her, her replies are always so thoughtful.

[@iceman00behave]

Jesus! I was listening to this laying in bed at night, and at 4:51, her voice lovingly wandered in, tucked me into bed, and gave me a kiss goodnight on the forehead.

[@momofawcraft]

I am 100% in LOVE with your PURE response to her vocals! Aurora is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE vocalist!

Terrific video. I've watched a couple of vocal coaches listen to Aurora for the first time. And they, like you, are first surprised and eventually are joyfully humbled by her voice, as I am. Glorious. I love your channel and have subscribed. Thanks for this video, I've watched it a dozen or more times.

Oh, yes! Is this your first exposure to Aurora? There is soooooo much good Aurora content. Her concert at Nidarosdomen is probably a great start. It is a good mix of her own stuff and cover work.

My mother warned me about girls that will mesmerize you, and take over your will. I was safe for a lot of years. Then Aurora came along. My mother was not alive when Aurora started singing. But I instantly reconised the danger she told me about. This is probably Beelzebub. But since I don't belive in angels or devils I just have to live with this angelic sounds and the deviish profeties of my mother. She sings like an angel :)
