Vocal Coach Reacts: AURORA ‘Rasputin’ by Boney M Live!

[@ninaschofield]

Let me know which tracks I should look forward to from The Gods We Can Touch below 👇🏻🎶

[@annesophie57]

Hello Nina, I would suggest "everything matters" in duet with the French singer Pomme. It has been recently posted.

[@khrys3326]

All of them xD. Personally I like "Heathens", "A Temporary High" and "You keep me Crawling" the most even tho all of them are amazing. It is honestly worth it to rewiev the whole album at once.

[@allergic5]

“Everything Matters” featuring Pomme live performance

[@Geralt26]

Every ppl has his own favorites but I especially love: Everything Matters, Inhale Exhale, Blood in the Wine, Dangerous Thing, The Innocent. Also love Heathens and You Keep Me Crawling. And can not tell there is a song I dont like :). Generally whole album is different than her previous ones but for me great as usual. There are also much variety on this one and different production/sound than on previous ones.

[@joskogeler6421]

Blood in the wine! Probably written after watching a Western?

[@allergic5]

So glad you are back to Aurora. Please check out “Everything Matters” feat. Pomme , live performance. !

[@mjolnir426]

Thanks for your reaction and thoughts! Aurora’s comment on the video, after someone mentioned the short prep time for these P3 cover song performances: “Yes we rehearsed around 15 minutes for this!” Enjoy The Gods We Can Touch 😊 (and rather than watching the lyric videos, have a reliable lyrics website open. Quite a few errors in the lyric vids)…

[@tmsvanes]

She is the Storyteller, and that folky style is so suitable for her storytelling and her voice. Again she draws us in, and we are mesmerized. Now you can look forward to her fantastic new album. Contains so many lovely songs and you can watch Aurora and Pomme live doing Everything Matters, Heathens Vevo live and Giving in to the Love, video. But in fact, the whole album is magnificent. 😁

[@roegoleg]

On first hearing, I also heard that breath that she took and held. I think she actually caught herself jumping ahead to the next verse and had to abruptly pause to stay in time. But in Aurora fashion, she made it part of her performance. I like to think that her wry smirk at the end is her acknowledgment of her mistake of which she proudly embraces with no shame as she often does when it happens in other live performances.

[@Ohimoke]

I love how you talk about breath-control with all those pug related pillows in the backround... and such!!!

[@SkibidySkid]

ahh yes the tortured dog breed

[@einark6568]

Lovely reaction Nina! I think Aurora was happy after this performence because it was under one hour since she heared this song for the first time. Moust of Auroras covers on NRK P3 is made as so called "challenges". She and her band comes to promote one of her own new songs, and is given this challenge in addition. To make a cover of a song not known from before under an hour.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Always best live. Aurora sings in the moment and, as the moment is always different, her song changes.

[@RunarNyrud]

Aurora commented that this was performed after 15 minutes of rehearsal, so my guess is that is was a type of "cover challenge" by the radio station...

[@hakanandersson1276]

I missed you Nina. So glad you is back.....for a while at least. Love this cover. My favourite is Exhale inhale for me the most emotional and interesting for her vocals and the instrumentation. Only problem is it little to short. Thank you again for this nice reaction and analys.

[@WhiteTiger333]

I just love how she turned a showy, disco romp into a story that we were hanging on to know what happened next, and really feeling the heartbreaking history of the dynamic of the Queen and Rasputin. Someone else's song and lyrics, but her special, special energy.

[@fredsafary6864]

Like what you said, she reposese every song she performs with a lot of her hands movement. Makes me pay attention more to her singing.

[@X_ch4ng3]

Awesome! Can't wait for the new album reaction! But are you not reacting to A different kind of human (step 2)?

[@ninaschofield]

Yes I plan on doing both ☺️

[@Einyen]

@@ninaschofield Aurora wrote in the youtube comments they only rehearsed ~15min on this song. This cover was not planned and rehearsed before, it is something they do on this NRK P3 radio station. Same thing with "God Is A Woman" and "Believer" she did years ago on P3, though some people has said they rehearsed up to 1 hour back then 🙂 I'm not sure how well Aurora knew this song in advance, or if she knew it at all. You can see her reading the lyrics in the beginning at 1:09 in this reaction video (0:04 in original video), and again at 3:43 (1:07 in the original). The extra pause/breath at 3:53 (1:19 original) I think is her almost forgetting the lyrics, and also the reason for the missing word at 2:12 (0:54 original), since the phrase: "There was a cat that really was gone" is pretty weird today because it is 1970s jazz slang. I also had to look up what it meant, even though I was born in the 1970s: "He was a very cool dude that was crazy / out of this world" I think it is amazing they put this version together in 15min even with those small mistakes, and it is so refreshingly different from the original. It is not meant to be a flawless "official" release of the song, it is just something they do for fun in this live radio show.

[@Einyen]

@@ninaschofield I like the term another youtuber came up with for her cover songs: She is "Aurorarising" / "Aurorising" them 🙂

[@awkipintee]

Good reaction comments and I applaud the respect you have for this remarkable lady.

[@kippys1]

I highly recommend AURORA's live performance of EVERYTHING MATTERS dueting with French singer Pomme! Also, her new songs: BLOOD IN THE WINE and EXHALE -- INHALE!

[@davidplanet3919]

Aurora only had 20 minutes to learn this song and practice. So impressive.

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

'The Gods We Can Touch' ... 15 brilliant tracks to listen to and the first one is a 40 second instrumental! You have to listen to them in the order that Aurora put them on the album, there's a reason ... 😊

[@Einyen]

Yes, the first song is an "intro" and the last song is an "outro" but also a bridge to the next album she said.

[@rosemay75]

Yes it's curated in a particular way.

[@nightmusic8]

Oh my word, didn’t know this song was sung by AURORA, I’ll let you all know what I think afterwards. Must be great.

[@nightmusic8]

@Nina Schofield yes, guitar as a rhythm instrument. Totally boney m & also totally AURORA. For me the first time hearing her sing with such a disco vibe. Emphasis on the beat.

[@NicolasTatro]

A Temporary High (live performance on Lindmo) and the recorded versions of A Dangerous Thing and Heathens are favorites. The live Aurora-Pomme performance of Everything Matters is very engaging,

[@ovekkjlstad7703]

Great reaction. Since you are into Norwegian female singers, you could also make a reaction to Bertine Zetlitz.

[@mariopardillo8618]

Lovely reaction! I can't wait for the album reaction. So many good songs on it, but I personally like "A Dangerous Thing", "Everything Matters" and "Heathens". Oh, and "You Keep Me Crawling"!

[@joar93]

Hi! 🎶

Great reaction

this is why we play and listen to World music from all artists, lands and cultures........why are you still sitting? get up and dance!

[@Kimberlyannkent]

Ones from the new album I suggest Blood in the Wine, A Dangerous Thing and Everything Matters to me. This is my first watch of you, but if you have not seen official video of The Seed, Winter Bird or Runaway you should…. They AMAZING

[@ThePavanB]

Nina, i really love how you explain. My Uncle looks like the mad dude in Boney M and we call him Daddy Cool. If and when you can, could you do Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue where the wild roses grow. My love says that i grumble like him. Thank you for all.

[@Colgan1]

I am not normally one who prefers the cover to the original, except for a few exceptions like Johnny Cash Hurt. But this version of Rasputin to me is better than the original one and that dance remake, she some how tells a different story of Rasputin but with the same lyrics. I do like her cover of Oasis Half the world away too

[@ferenromero5364]

Everthing mattera with pomme its amazing

[@Kimberlyannkent]

I believe the breath was that she was going to do the humm like she did after the other phrases, but thought the better of it and stopped herself because she knew it was not the time to do so

[@stoneshack2000]

👍🔥🔥👈🎯💕...

[@paulblazev9367]

She is so cute and very good 👍 Nina you are so beautiful to

[@andreasclaussenwahl5518]

I saw an interview where she taljs about not using autotune because she looses control. No proof of her never missing tones, but if she wants to put emotions into a song and «miss» a tone I suspect using autotune might screw up her intention?:-) (not very eloquent but hopefully pissible to understand. Thank uou for a great reaction!👌👍🙏🏼😊

[@TomTomson81]

3:53 I don't think that was intentional, but a small dropout. I think she took a breath to hang a few notes on it like in the first verse and quickly changed her mind. Or at this point there were no notes at all this time, which she forgot for a short time. I think that's what it looked like and that would be fit for Aurora. The perfect imperfect. 😁

[@fabrice7211]

Honestly I think that big breath in the middle was a "mistake" and she was about to sing something else. That would not be surprising considering that, if I'm not mistaken, she had less than 1 hour to prepare this cover (supposedly even less than that). Anyway, brilliant performance, and great analysis :) As for her new album, personally, my top 3 would be : Everything Matters, Blood in the Wine, and A little place called the moon, hoping to see you review the whole thing anyway ;)

[@rosemay75]

She does do this quite a bit live... when she gets overwhelmed by the audience's reactions it sometimes throws her off. But she recovers with a giggle and no-one holds it against her in the slightest. On the contrary.

[@fabrice7211]

@@rosemay75 I'm certainly not holding it against her ;) Those "mistakes" and lyrics forgetting are what makes her human and relatable :)

That odd big breath... I think it was down to the almost zero rehearsal for this song, and she thought she was coming in a measure before she actually did, and panicked slightly.
