Literally, still now, I'm not over this performance because it's absolutely STUNNING. I went on an Aurora binge after this video, and honestly, I feel like her live version of this song is better than the studio version. There's something so beautiful and delicate about this performance, and I literally listened to it on repeat after we reacted to this. Would love to see her live or something one day because her voice is absolutely CAPTIVATING, and her control is amazing. The whole arrangement in the live version is so mystical too when paired with the stage. Anyways!! Thanks for watching this one :) Let me know if you want more!
Oh man you opened the floodgates now for all us Warriors & Weirdos (Aurora fans) :-) Aurora was 19 here in 2015 though she looks younger. She never wanted to perform just to write music, so the first 1-2 years she was very nervous and completely immersed herself in the song to "escape", but later she learned to enjoy it and interact with the audience (but she still embodies the music). "Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)" from this same Nobel concert is even more emotional: watch?v=vh0SWTVwXxw Other amazing live performance: Through The Eyes Of A Child (A cappella): watch?v=CFzExUN1N8I It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current): watch?v=9U-N6LqzdIM The Seed (HAIK concert): watch?v=qQQd5gNkIwU (The choir is a surprise to her arranged by the TV show) All Is Soft Inside (Live on KEXP): watch?v=P4AjzgOdG8E Churchyard (Live on KEXP): watch?v=nJLuG8c11Gk Lucky (Live at Nidarosdomen): watch?v=AmTiqR2_VAw Amazing covers by Aurora: Massive Attack - Teardrop: watch?v=GPTY6l_PX5k David Bowie - Life on Mars: watch?v=kJ095S0MmnA Oasis - Half The World Away: watch?v=s5QK3x-Bvo0 The Beatles - Across The Universe: watch?v=Zb4sIiGLXvc Naughty Boy - La La La: watch?v=qgTdhIkK_K4 Howard Blake - Walking In The Air (The Snowman): watch?v=GUeYTWXn0Qk These 2 covers she and her crew only got about 1 hour to prepare for (radio show gimmick): Ariana Grande - God is a woman: watch?v=fn_6i7Wed-c Imagine Dragons - Believer: watch?v=ucY21wLJhOo
Pls more Aurora. She is the most honest and kindest artist I know. I have seen many interviews and poscasts with her. She is incredible and something else in the best possible way. To the video itself. Aurora has backround singer. She doesn't like backtracks. Silja Sol mainly accompanies her, but the other two band members also sing along. I recommend Nobel Peace Price concert "murder song (5,4,3,2,1)" and "I went too far" live Honda Stage".
Silja has been her backup vocalist for quite a while and she is amazing - however in this performance the backup singer is Selma Frida Stang - also a very talented singer. The other two voices are Magnus her drummer and Odd Martin on guitar.
She is literally an enchantress in the best possible way. Her voice is just so enchanting. It pulls you in and you can’t get out of it. It’s just absolutely amazing☺️
Aurora said in a tv interview that the creativ process in making songs and having the control in the studio, to do what ever you want is liberating, but ones you perform the song live on stage it's out of your hands. You as an artist isn't important anymore. it's all about the song and she is just a tool, a vessel to the song. It comes to her from somewhere and goes through her out to us all. That's why she is so in the moment. Be safe Björn
She was 11 years old when she wrote this song. She is really something special Aurora 👌 And you haven`t listen much to Aurora if you belive she has a limited range in her voice! Greetings from Norway
Sean, I love the statement you made about a performer owning the space they're in. It reminds me of the feeling I got the first time I saw Christine and the Queens live on the Graham Norton Show a few years back. It was different because it was choreographed, but the same thing applied. She owned the stage. I normally dislike reaction videos but this one introduced me to a tremendous talent I hadn't heard before. Thanks to both of you for posting. kevin O'Rourke
Just a little comment on your comment. "limited range"? You guys have to explore her a bit more. She has a fantastic voice. And her range has been debated and settled. She is not just singing a song. She tells a story. Welcome to Warriors and Weirdos both of you
@@rx7dude2006 I totally agree. We can sit here and debate what makes Aurora so unique for the next quople of hours, lol. There are so many things. One thing I do love is that she never shows off. She never goes "look at me, see how good I am" Many artist do that. Take someone like Dimash for instans. He has that amazing high belt in his songs, but he does it all the time. I mean All. The. Frigging. Time. THAT, my friends, is just boring. Its like chewing on a piece of gum for to long. Aurora never does that.
@@maxsteiner1964 LOL I know don't like Dimash just for that reason, he uses vocal gymnastics to impress instead of letting the music speak to people like Aurora does.Being humble goes a long way in my book.
My favourite live cover from her is Bob Dylan's "Make you feel my love" at the SOS Ole bull 2020. She really makes it her own and you can see that she feels every song she sings even if it's not her own. I also absolutely love Lucky live in Bergen 2020. Warrior from the Haik documentary. I don't think you can choose wrong honestly.
Loved the reaction! You're in for a treat if you watch more of her live performances. She's probably the most emotive artist I've seen. Even her live covers are amazing, especially Life on Mars (at Nidarosdomen) and So Long Marianne (Chicago concert) which she sang in tribute of Leonard Cohen after learning he died earlier. Her own work is awesome too (Running with the Wolves - Pandora Sessions and Through the Eyes of a Child - at Nidarosdomen just to name a couple). You can't really go wrong with her.
@@AndreaSilvestro Thank YOU for the reaction! One more thing. Aurora often changes the arrangement of her songs so any given live performance can be totally different than another one with the same song. She basically covers her own songs.
Very nice reaction! Murder song - Nobel Prize concert It Happened Quiet - Current Through the Eyes of a Child - live Nidarosdomen Lucky - Nidarosdomen Nature Boy - Nidarosdomen The entire Nidarosdomen concert is incredibly beautifull. You should also react to Angelina Jordan - THE most emotional and versatile singer in human history!
I appreciate how you two recommend artist that are great storytellers and lyricists! That has reinvigorated my hope and love for music. (By the way sir, don’t forget the No.1 sitting beside you. She tops them all)
Really enjoyed your reaction! Please react to more live performances -- especially AURORA's more recent performances. I strongly recommend reactions to her highly energetic KEXP performance in Iceland (with Bjork in the audience), where she sings "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside”; as well as the Nidarosdomen Concert (in a cathedral with orchestral ensemble and choir), particularly the songs "It Happened Quiet," "Through the Eyes of a Child," "Little Boy in the Grass" and "Lucky." ; or the HAIK 2019 concert she held in a forest: "Infections of a Different Kind," "The Seed," “Daydreamer” and others; and most recently, the Bergen Philharmonic concert where she sings “Soulless Creatures” live for the first time!
Do "Through the eyes of a child" live from Nidarostomen. That shows her true vocal ability in my opinion. She definitely does not have a limited range. I've listened to every song of hers now and her range is amazing.
I’ve seen this performance dozens of times and somehow still get chills. It’s awesome how throughout most of the performance you two are just lost in it. Nice reaction vid!
She is an absolute wonderful human being who happens to be a magnificent artist as well.She is also the most pure new artist around today, doesn't use vocal gymnastics to impress she just tells the story in her own way.
She genuinely ascends to the astral plane when performing at the right venue. The "letting us into her world" is the best description of her stage presence I have heard.
Great reaction to a great artist. The reaction left me curious to hear more of your thoughts, Andrea. Maybe your friend could leave a bit more space for you - balance and harmony?
Once your heart is moved by an Aurora song or performance, you just want to live on her planet. Right outta your head and into your heart and body. I don't know of any other contemporary artist who does that with their sound and presence. Very powerful, like a force of nature or the impact on others that a talented human can have when standing fully in their own truth.
If you watch enough of her live, typically with three or less accompanists, you’ll see that she’s not doubling her own voice, but rather a cappella or not, one, two, or three of the accompanists are harmonizing with her. The drummer (forget his name) is her producer, be comes in way low under her, and the female (Silia) behind her (a guitarist in other performances) often comes in above her. In this one, I’m pretty sure the keyboardist is also harmonizing.
I remember back in 2014 when I came across a video of her on Facebook (warrior) it was the first time I was introduced to her, I've been following her ever since
O. Martin is one of the background vocals. He also is one of the producers behind this song, which Aurora wrote at the age of 7. Made management, in Bergen. They've also worked with Sigrid, dePresno and many other talented artists
Instant sub. You are the first "reactors" to identify that this is a waltz (or 6/8 metrics for the prog-fans). God, you made me happy 👌 Fun fact, she was a tiny little kid just getting attention here. She was sick to her bone by nerves (the Noble Peace Prize concert could reach a few hundred million viewers). Fun fact 2 - you got to see more of her recorded professionally. Check out her being challenged to take on "Life on Mars" unplugged. Check out her own "Through the eyes of a child" stripped and live on VEVO. Check out her entire live HAIK concert (half an hour) and her Nidaros cathedral concert that she recorded at age 22 reorchestrating her almost entire catalogue of music for string orchestra, male choir and organ. Check out her (and her band) being challenged to do a version of "Teardrops" live within an hour on Norwegian radio. This girl, "weirdo" as she is what we in Norway call "whole wood". Her songs grow dimensions live compared to the studio recordings. Check her out doing "the Seed" in angry "Warrior"-more at the HAIK concert and check her out doing the same song unplugged at VEVO. There is a reason fans label themselves "Weirdoes and Warriors". Then check out one of the most beautiful things that happened in the year of Covid. Aurora first dropped a love song (exist for love, with zero irony). Then she created the "somewhere else festival" (A one-hour long webcast concert to support creative artists - that also happens to be a fully-fledged video installation piece as she roams from room to room in the 1930s Art Nouveau building known as "Forum" in her hometown Bergen. Did I mention that this girl covers Bowie's life on Mars? Yeah. She is currently honouring "Ziggy Stardust" by expanding and exploring her own already big canvas. As a massive fan of Bjørk since the Sugarcubes days and Laurie Andersson since "oh Superman" in the early 80s - some very few are to become defining artists. Find "Lucky" live at Nidarosdomen and contemplate a 22-year-old singer-songwriter of electronica/alternative music create that moment, my friends. Find the moment when she sings "do not speak over my voice" in the same concert - it works even on youtube since nobody is doubting her from that delivery. PS - the background vocals are from a Norwegian star in her own rights - she is called Silja Sol. You will encounter her a lot if you keep probing. To the point that you may want to check out her own originals.
Billie Eilish and the also amazing French singer, Pomme, both asure they decided to become singers because of this very song; so Aurora is responsible for at least this two amazing singer/songwriters to step out.
Here is a challenge for you, react to her song Wisdom Cries, completely different from everything else she has written but shows what an eminent songwriter she is!
Love this! One person who knows her and one who is completely new :D If you want to do another live performance i love "Under the water" live at VEVO Halloween. Or if you want to do just any song, my favourite music video, and chronologically appropriate, Winter Bird is such a wonderful song. I guess if you want to listen to something more conventional, though the topic is not "The Seed" is a common go-to.
dont know if anyone has commented this yet but she does use the same band, backup singer(silja sol who is an artist in her own right she also has great harmony with aurora) and dancers when she records or performs. on the topic of not being able to get into covers you should check out some of the covers aurora has done like "god is a woman" and "life on mars"
nah i wouldnt say her range is limited. i feel like a lot of ppl will put singers in a box, like billie for example, they have the soft yet powerful tones but can go high or low if they so pleased
Another great reaction. Words that come to mind are ... atmospheric, ethereal, enchanting, otherworldly, captivating. Of course having great lyrics helps. It would be interesting to hear you guys do something similar. Here's a poem of mine that might make an enchanting song with the right music, if you're interested. I have had 26 poems set to music by 12 different composers. Will There Be Starlight by Michael R. Burch Will there be starlight tonight while she gathers damask and lilac and sweet-scented heathers? And will she find flowers, or will she find thorns guarding the petals of roses unborn? Will there be starlight tonight while she gathers seashells and mussels and albatross feathers? And will she find treasure or will she find pain at the end of this rainbow of moonlight on rain? If you like this one, I have others. If not, no problem.
I subscribe for more Aurora.. She is sooo good and her lyrics should be published in a book and been on the curriculum for every school in the world! She deals with meaningfull universal topics.. 😊 I would like to point out that we have another Norwegian gem ; Angelina Jordan, singer/songwriter. She has a huge fanbase too and will blow your mind. Just take any song from her. She has 140+ on RUclips.. 🤗😊 Nice reaction!
Being a bassist I know I can be a little nitpicking about these sort of things but Runaway is not 3/4 but 6/8. Some might say this is the same. I don't agree. However, loved this reaction. It makes me happy to watch people appreciate her music. :-)
it’s actually a 6/8 time signature. Nit picking, but this mistake is made a lot. The subdivision pacing of the Eighth notes are tripled not doubled, making it 6/8 instead of 3/4. It’s subtle. It’s a weird compound time technicality. You can hear the swing of the 6/8 really well in the bridge.
Great reaction, not seen you before :). You just need to have a look at some of her songs from "Nidarosdomen". And.....maybe you also would like another young Norwegian singer/songwriter - Angelina Jordan. Have fun.
I really liked the reaction, definitely subscribing to the channel. You guys just earned a Saudi subscriber 🙂. And pls react to Faouzia’s - born without a heart (Stripped virsion), I promise you will be blown away.
ANGELINA JORDAN......FUTURE MEGASTAR.!!!......WINNER OF NORWAY GOT TALENT IN 2014......she was 8 yo......she is 15 yo now......THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS CAN SING ANY GENRE......she is amazing!!!
Bruce Dickinson: I'll be honest.. fellas, it was sounding great. But.. I could've used a little more cowbell. So.. let's take it again.. and, Gene? Gene Frenkle: Yeah? Bruce Dickinson: Really explore the studio space this time. Gene Frenkle: You got it, Bruce. Bruce Dickinson: I mean, really.. explore the space. I like what I'm hearing. roll it.
Aurora has developed her persona over her career. Here, in 2015, she is an innocent young girl. Go next to Nidarosdomen 2017, "Through The Eyes Of A Child", where Aurora is a more seasoned performer but there is still a shy element and she is a vision from a Botticelli painting. Then, the HAIK concert 2019, "Daydreamer", where she is a confident, smiling, dancing, beguiling forest spirit. Through all the changes though, Aurora's charisma dominates and her vision of the world shines in the compelling lyrics she writes. I am not aware of another artist who writes so inspirationally on difficult and sensitive subjects.

Aurora is amazing. React to The Seed and Murder Song. I think the best singers always sound better live.
Great reaction guys - hopefully you didn't binge so much that there is nothing left for you to react to - ;)
Nice reaction😊
The seed, her music video is a must😍
Pure ART
Aurora's concerts are something else tho, she interacts with her crowd alot😍
Oh man you opened the floodgates now for all us Warriors & Weirdos (Aurora fans) :-)

Pls more Aurora. She is the most honest and kindest artist I know. I have seen many interviews and poscasts with her. She is incredible and something else in the best possible way.
To the video itself. Aurora has backround singer. She doesn't like backtracks. Silja Sol mainly accompanies her, but the other two band members also sing along.
I recommend Nobel Peace Price concert "murder song (5,4,3,2,1)" and "I went too far" live Honda Stage".
she is amazing! legit lost in her performance
Silja has been her backup vocalist for quite a while and she is amazing - however in this performance the backup singer is Selma Frida Stang - also a very talented singer. The other two voices are Magnus her drummer and Odd Martin on guitar.
She is literally an enchantress in the best possible way. Her voice is just so enchanting. It pulls you in and you can’t get out of it. It’s just absolutely amazing☺️
"Through the Eyes of a Child" from the Nidarosdomen concert!
This song and some others really show off her vocal talents!
Yes,, next..
Aurora is angel
Aurora said in a tv interview that the creativ process in making songs and having the control in the studio, to do what ever you want
is liberating, but ones you perform the song live on stage it's out of your hands. You as an artist isn't important anymore.
it's all about the song and she is just a tool, a vessel to the song.
It comes to her from somewhere and goes through her out to us all.
That's why she is so in the moment.
Be safe

ty for watching!
Her voice is like we are in heaven 😍
Definitely more AURORA, please.
I always recommend her live performances. She inhabits her songs like few other artists.
it’s the best
Just a little comment on your comment. "limited range"? You guys have to explore her a bit more. She has a fantastic voice. And her range has been debated and settled. She is not just singing a song. She tells a story. Welcome to Warriors and Weirdos both of you
Exactly she has amazing range and perfect control but that is not what makes her the most unique grounded artist of our time.
@@rx7dude2006 I totally agree. We can sit here and debate what makes Aurora so unique for the next quople of hours, lol. There are so many things. One thing I do love is that she never shows off.

Frigging. Time. THAT, my friends, is just boring. Its like chewing on a piece of gum for to long. Aurora never does that.
@@maxsteiner1964 LOL I know don't like Dimash just for that reason, he uses vocal gymnastics to impress instead of letting the music speak to people like Aurora does.Being humble goes a long way in my book.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing when he said that
Aurora is flawless she’s like a feather swaying in the wind!
My favourite live cover from her is Bob Dylan's "Make you feel my love" at the SOS Ole bull 2020.

Murder song - Nobel Prize concert
It Happened Quiet - Current
Through the Eyes of a Child - live Nidarosdomen
Lucky - Nidarosdomen
Nature Boy - Nidarosdomen
The entire Nidarosdomen concert is incredibly beautifull.
You should also react to Angelina Jordan - THE most emotional and versatile singer in human history!
I appreciate how you two recommend artist that are great storytellers and lyricists! That has reinvigorated my hope and love for music. (By the way sir, don’t forget the No.1 sitting beside you. She tops them all)
she’s so good!
More Aurora please. She is sheer perfection
LOVE this song! Not seen this performance though. She sounds beautiful live! I need to listen to more of her stuff 💗
it’s SO STUNNING LIVE!
Really enjoyed your reaction! Please react to more live performances -- especially AURORA's more recent performances. I strongly recommend reactions to her highly energetic KEXP performance in Iceland (with Bjork in the audience), where she sings "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside”; as well as the Nidarosdomen Concert (in a cathedral with orchestral ensemble and choir), particularly the songs "It Happened Quiet," "Through the Eyes of a Child," "Little Boy in the Grass" and "Lucky." ; or the HAIK 2019 concert she held in a forest: "Infections of a Different Kind," "The Seed," “Daydreamer” and others; and most recently, the Bergen Philharmonic concert where she sings “Soulless Creatures” live for the first time!
Recommendations: Forgotten Love & All is Soft Inside KEXP performance, Soft Universe Live in Nidarosdomen
Its a short session, please do the whole KEXP
Someday that Peace Prize will be MINE!
Du är långskottet. Root alltid för underdog.
Do "Through the eyes of a child" live from Nidarostomen. That shows her true vocal ability in my opinion. She definitely does not have a limited range. I've listened to every song of hers now and her range is amazing.

it's legit CHILLING
I recommend Aurora Live at KEXP
Aurora is definitely amazing... the best pop artist arguably
Please react to AURORA live at KEXP
Backup vokal are done live by her band members, they are super tight on harmonies.
ah nice

Thanks for the latest musicians react episode wit Aurora. Just love the respect that you have for your fellow musicians.
awh ty!
Same old thing: once a reactor interrupts the performance "I'm out of here". These things keep popping up in my "recommended" recently
Silja Sol is on of Aurora's regular collaborating backing vocalists. Those two voices together in harmony are phenomenal.
she got the look of " stop talking about how good she is" ... aka she got the yandere look lol
She has a nice voice.
More Aurora! Thanks!
One word..... Captivating
thanks so much!
O. Martin is one of the background vocals. He also is one of the producers behind this song, which Aurora wrote at the age of 7. Made management, in Bergen.
They've also worked with Sigrid, dePresno and many other talented artists

norse folk music + voice microtuning + celtic elements
All wrapped up in 6/8 time. Love it.
Really nice reaction guys! I would highly recommend Murder Song live at this same Nobel Peace Prize concert and Lucky live at Nidarosdomen
Yes
please react to 'it happend quiet" live at Nidarosdomen. she's unbelievable!!!
Here is a challenge for you, react to her song Wisdom Cries, completely different from everything else she has written but shows what an eminent songwriter she is!
Love this! One person who knows her and one who is completely new :D
If you want to do another live performance i love "Under the water" live at VEVO Halloween.
Or if you want to do just any song, my favourite music video, and chronologically appropriate, Winter Bird is such a wonderful song.
I guess if you want to listen to something more conventional, though the topic is not "The Seed" is a common go-to.
i came here to see a reaction and i got lost in the song :,)
dont know if anyone has commented this yet but she does use the same band, backup singer(silja sol who is an artist in her own right she also has great harmony with aurora) and dancers when she records or performs. on the topic of not being able to get into covers you should check out some of the covers aurora has done like "god is a woman" and "life on mars"
Yeah.. go Aurora :)
nah i wouldnt say her range is limited. i feel like a lot of ppl will put singers in a box, like billie for example, they have the soft yet powerful tones but can go high or low if they so pleased
Another great reaction. Words that come to mind are ... atmospheric, ethereal, enchanting, otherworldly, captivating.
Of course having great lyrics helps. It would be interesting to hear you guys do something similar. Here's a poem of mine that might make an enchanting song with the right music, if you're interested. I have had 26 poems set to music by 12 different composers.
Will There Be Starlight
by Michael R. Burch
Will there be starlight
tonight
while she gathers
damask
and lilac
and sweet-scented heathers?
And will she find flowers,
or will she find thorns
guarding the petals
of roses unborn?
Will there be starlight
tonight
while she gathers
seashells
and mussels
and albatross feathers?
And will she find treasure
or will she find pain
at the end of this rainbow
of moonlight on rain?
If you like this one, I have others. If not, no problem.
I subscribe for more Aurora.. She is sooo good and her lyrics should be published in a book and been on the curriculum for every school in the world! She deals with meaningfull universal topics.. 😊
I would like to point out that we have another Norwegian gem ; Angelina Jordan, singer/songwriter. She has a huge fanbase too and will blow your mind. Just take any song from her. She has 140+ on RUclips.. 🤗😊
Nice reaction!
I cant understand why you haven't done reacted to more of her performances , its been a long time
do you have any requests?
More aurora reactions
Gotta check her "God is Woman" live performance and "It Happened Quiet" in the studio performance.
Greetings from Norway =)
💖
Being a bassist I know I can be a little nitpicking about these sort of things but Runaway is not 3/4 but 6/8. Some might say this is the same. I don't agree. However, loved this reaction. It makes me happy to watch people appreciate her music. :-)
Wardruna with Aurora “Helvegan “ live
الاغنيه جميله فيها كمية من المشاعر 🥺🖤
Beautiful
The song is beautiful in which the amount of feelings
You still have not reacted to "It Happened Quiet..." Please do this one, Live at the Current. Now, please and thank you. 😁
Pls react to her album infections of a different kind
Silje Sol sings in the background.
It is Selma Stang.
In this performance it was Selma Frida Stang.
صوتها وادائها جميل على الرغم من صغر سنها لكنها مبدعه 🖤🖤.
it’s actually a 6/8 time signature. Nit picking, but this mistake is made a lot. The subdivision pacing of the Eighth notes are tripled not doubled, making it 6/8 instead of 3/4. It’s subtle. It’s a weird compound time technicality.
You can hear the swing of the 6/8 really well in the bridge.
When men get excited about aurora, youll notice their partners get even less so, 😆
Great reaction, not seen you before :). You just need to have a look at some of her songs from "Nidarosdomen". And.....maybe you also would like another young Norwegian singer/songwriter - Angelina Jordan. Have fun.
Did you guys react the music video?
Tray the leites from Aurora.«exist for love»bjuteful lovsong..!😊👌💟
8:52 - 9:00 So true.
Great reaction. I hear Enya, Bjork, and perhaps a touch of Delores O Riordan? Kanalen ska göra hudvård. Du glöder.
I think your girlfriend might murder you if you listen to more of aurora. Good luck
I really liked the reaction, definitely subscribing to the channel. You guys just earned a Saudi subscriber 🙂. And pls react to Faouzia’s - born without a heart (Stripped virsion), I promise you will be blown away.
Limited range?
She reminds me of Kate Bush.
Please react to Vera Blue singing "Breathe"
For those who think Aurora only brings it with her hands and movement, hear her with hands stuck on the keys: ruclips.net/video/ucY21wLJhOo/видео.html
ANGELINA JORDAN......FUTURE MEGASTAR.!!!......WINNER OF NORWAY GOT TALENT IN 2014......she was 8 yo......she is 15 yo now......THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS CAN SING ANY GENRE......she is amazing!!!
I’m pretty sure this is in 6/8 time, not 3/4
You are wrong. If you want to hear her amazing vocal range, watch the entire Nidarosdomen concert. You will be converted.
I’ve never seen a female react so blandly and dead eyed to Aurora. Love how the dude loves her.. chick is not convinced.
Her voice reminds me of Dolores O'Riordan.
Bruce Dickinson: I'll be honest.. fellas, it was sounding great. But.. I could've used a little more cowbell. So.. let's take it again.. and, Gene?
Gene Frenkle: Yeah?
Bruce Dickinson: Really explore the studio space this time.
Gene Frenkle: You got it, Bruce.
Bruce Dickinson: I mean, really.. explore the space. I like what I'm hearing. roll it.
Does he know that he's saying "uaah?" after many sentences?
Aurora has developed her persona over her career. Here, in 2015, she is an innocent young girl. Go next to Nidarosdomen 2017, "Through The Eyes Of A Child", where Aurora is a more seasoned performer but there is still a shy element and she is a vision from a Botticelli painting. Then, the HAIK concert 2019, "Daydreamer", where she is a confident, smiling, dancing, beguiling forest spirit. Through all the changes though, Aurora's charisma dominates and her vision of the world shines in the compelling lyrics she writes. I am not aware of another artist who writes so inspirationally on difficult and sensitive subjects.
U should react to Screaming idol hits by Dimash. He RAPS!!!!
its a world outside usa
What happened at 10:41?
«Limited range?» 🤔
little boy in the grass nidarosdem maybe :) ?
Sean... you should leave more room to your mate : a bit too cocky in fact

How can you conclude with her vocal range being limited?
