- Even though I've heard of this singer before, I have never really listened to her at all. Thanks to a suggestion from one o my subscribers, I decided to do a blind analysis of her performing this huge song of hers.
I must say, I understand het huge following after watching this live performance. And, I am also keen to go and check out more of her work, as I find her intriguing.
Let me know what you think... are you a fan? Is her live performance as good as her studio version?

She wrote this song at 11. she is self taught and she goes away to another place when she sings. She was 19 in this performance and really nervous. Dont think she had performed that much before this consert, shes one of a kind!
She was actually 19 (and a half) here. This was in Dec 2015 and she is from June 1996.
@@thomashoglund5671 my bad, tnx:)
@@thomashoglund5671 Right, but she wrote the song aged 11... and she performed it as you say 19... and a half? lol. I thought we stopped saying things like that when we are 8.
@@rkempo Sure, it was just to emphasize the difference between her actual age and how old she looks. Most people agrees she looks very young in this performance. So I could "increase" her actual age by saying 19.5 instead of 19 without exaggerating or lying.
@@thomashoglund5671 Oh, Okay my friend, we are going 19 and a half, so we not ask any questions, its okay, my guy.
Aurora is a musical genius. If your only going to go by a black/white analytical perspective you will miss the magic.
She's pure art.
I truly enjoyed her! Thanks for watching 😊
He's just reacting to her technique. You don't have to be a fanatic. He also says that he likes it.
@@2filos cool. I don't think he'll have react to her again. Fans are going to do what fans do. Thanks for your participation
@@Roy-mw5js hahahahahahaha
@2filos If he was only reacting to Aurora's technique, he wouldn't have commented on every aspect of her appearance. It doesn't matter to me either way, but I"m certain that the amount of makeup she wears and the color of her hair are irrelevant to Aurora's singing technique.
What does it matter what she is or isn't wearing on her feet or how she looks? Is this still a vocal analysis?
Idk if he understands his position he's super trash compared to her and he's been working his whole like on listening and judging so he's going to point shit out
I know right ? I switched off when he started talking about how she looked. This is from the guy who wipes his nose with his finger what a grub. @@duototreolife
I felt there was a condescending tone in his voice. And this is not a reaction. It was supposed to be an analysis, yet he was rambling about that nonsense with her shoes. WTH
he was just observing, some perople would think its odd and hes a human being too, all he did was state what he was observing on a human level not on an analytical one. He was very interested in the performance and said so many nice things, and gave what i think, a good analusis. Saying things like "hes super trash... or idk if he understands his position" is more cruel than anything he ever OBSERVED in the video- i know it wasnt you who specifically said this, im more talking about the comment above, but seriously, you guys are judging his observance, its not very nice either. @@phuonglemackay2244
He is definitely turned on by her looks. I love that voice but yeah this dude just wants to talk about her, I didn't hear analyzing
Aurora brings a little magic to a magicless world
If she's magical and in the world then the world would be magical as well....
oh there's a ton of magic, just look for it
@@SistoActivitatemAtm the figure of speech, goddamnit
Definitely listen to her sing 'through the eyes of a child' live at Nidarosdomen which is the oldest Cathedral in Norway and the acoustics are as insanely gorgeous as her performance. It really highlights the range of her voice and will give you chills. It's actually made a lot of reactors cry, she evokes such emotion...she touches your soul. ❤
absolutely couldn't agree more.
Thats is the most beautiful live preformance I’ve seen
It makes me cry everytime. Little boy in the grass always gets me
She wasn't aware of her movements and was shocked when it was pointed out to her and she saw herself later. Her movements are more flowing these days, but she still moves a lot. She cant help it 😊. She does make some pop songs, but makes a lot of different version, and some of my favorite performances are just with a guitar or piano and maybe someone on harmonies. Constantly evolving artist, and her latest album is always the best in my opinion.
I confess, I'm an Aurora addict. She is best live as each performance is a reinterpretation, some times radically. She sees this world in a different way, hence the lyrics and the intensity of performance reflect that she is her song. The lyrics of this one also show her age when she wrote it, 11.
Her concert at the Nidarosdomen is a masterpiece. Mainly her originals but some wonderful covers.
Thanks for the comment, and for watching 😊
I can’t stand this kind of self ego narcissism. This girl has no interesting or unique perspective on life, she’s nothing more than a celebrity with a cult like following amongst certain people. Only the most basic of humans will actually believe this woman has some unique outlook on life. She’s only repeating what many before her did.
@@capitalizingcapitalist1202 I vehemently disagree with this sentiment. Every person has a unique perspective, and simultaneously if you reduce every experience and perspective to its core then nobody has a unique perspective. But this is missing the point entirely - music doesn't merely convey a message, but as with all interpersonal connection from language to gestures to images it is a medium through which emotions are communally explored. Even you are participating in the evident disdain you feel towards this celebrity and the cult like elements of her followers.
"She’s only repeating what many before her did."
Aren't we all?
@@capitalizingcapitalist1202nobody cares your opinión
Her real name is Aurora Aksnes and she is a singer and songwriter from Norway, and she was 19 here even though she looks younger, and she is 27 today.
She had been performing for 1.5 years at this point, but she still didn't fully enjoy it, she said later in interviews. She was still very nervous, and this was her biggest performance so far with ~8000 people in the venue and being broadcast on TV as well (not sure if live or not). She was a songwriter first (and dancer), and she never really planned to be a singer.
Her movements are somewhat involuntary and a way to express her feelings that she gets from the music, and during 2016 and later when she got more used to performing, she turned them into voluntary movements and dancing.
She writes all her music and lyrics, and has released 3 albums and 2 EPs so far, and now she is currently working on the 4th album.
I suggest her song "Through The Eyes of a Child", and she did a pure a cappella performance of the song in March 2016, the video is also called Vevo UK Lift on her main channel, where she and her band members are doing amazing harmonies.
Also "It Happened Quiet" live at The Current, it is an acoustic performance from March 2019 with incredible vocals from both Aurora and her backup singer Silja Sol, I've seen several vocal coaches reacting to this one.
Thanks for the lovely feedback! I'll check out more of her stuff for sure 😊
@@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach this one is amazing! AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert
She wrote part of these lyrics at age 9. I believe she's 19 here... Her sister designs her clothes. She's on the spectrum, so she has always experienced and expressed herself in unique way. Compelling. Seeing her live truly takes you on a journey in her world. I love her lyrics and melodies. Exist for love makes you giddy. Lucky pulls on your emotions in a different way. The seed gives energy and power. She is truly a performer. But she herself says that she is truly herself when she creates and writes music. She describes performing as just being a wessel for the music that flows through her.
11 not 9
Really enjoyed your reaction to Aurora. You are very much correct when saying she is natural when performing and as you continue you will see and hear just what a wonderfully unpretentious person she is. Would love you to watch her performance of It Happened Quiet -Live at the Current or perhaps Through the Eyes of a Child -Live stripped at Vevo. But really anything you choose will be fantastic because everything she does is worthy of your time! Looking forward to future reactions!!
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback!
Yes! The live version of Through The Eyes of A Child 🖤🖤🖤
I think all the quirks you hear is her emotions in the song taking form. This song no matter how many times I hear it brings so much emotion forward that I’m brought to tears. Aurora is just one of a kind and a beautiful vocalist and song writer.
Nice reaction! Interesting that you say that she appears to you as an experienced performer. It was her first performance in front of such a big audience, and she was very nervous. 19 here. But then, she is a genius. A free spirit. Experience her live! And listen to her messages. She is as authentic as it gets. Quirky as you say, but one of a kind. Truly unique. The murder song from the same concert you need to watch. Then the backstage interview to get an idea of her personality.
Hey Smaugyyy🥰
I hope you’re doing good❤️
Have a great weekend (from today😉)🥰
@@lillm6874 Hello Lill! I am fine thank you, but quite busy. Wish you a great start into the week! 🥰
@@Smaugyyy Nice to “see” you once in a while🥰
Aurora's a gift to the world. Tears fall so unintentionally when I listen to her. Authentic - great word choice. ❤
she sings with such passion, it’s amazing
Im 73……love music and recently stumbled upon her…….excellent
Thank you for reaction. I love this Artist. And she is very natural artist - including that she does not have music education and she just started to learn all by herself to make music, to play piano, to sing. She even did not wanted to be an artist just used music to express her emotions and she love to create something. She is very artistic and creative person. She started to write music when was 6 and to make English lyrics from 9 years old (she is from Norway). I love many things in her music but this things including her voice and voice tone, expressiveness, emotions she shows and transmit and original sounds (as you said she is somewhere popy in some of her songs, but it is different kind of pop :) ). She is very original and artistic even outside the scene. She has a lot of great songs (not like only several great ones) - for me it is generally her whole discography:).
Thanks for this great reaction. Aurora is my all time favorite multi talented artist and you are spot on calling her authentic and quirky, that is part of the reason we Aurora fans love her so much. Also, movement is a big part of her life, she loves to dance and she took 10 years of dance lessons as a child, also, she just lives the song, especially in her early years of performing, it was her disconnect from being uncomfortable performing. She now embraces live performances and her movements are much more fluid and graceful. Looking forward to more Aurora on your channel.
Great comment my friend🥰🥰
@@lillm6874 Thanks 🥰🥰
Chills. Always chills when watching Aurora perform.
I'm always amazed by her way to immerse herself into her songs and offer us awesome deliverings, as powerful as it is beautiful and full of subtlety. For her first time, so young then, in such a large venue, this singing little moth is just dazzling!🙂
Thanks for this nice reaction to Aurora, this so endearing and talented little Giant.🙂👍
Excellent reaction to this extremely talented and very special artist. I have never seen or heard anyone like her. Please react more to her, she has SO many layers. Love from Norway ♥♥♥
except eivor.
Many singers don’t wear shoes on stage as it allows them to feel the tempo of the floorboards or stains Aurora is a personal friend of mine and she sings just as beautifully in her home in Bergen no way as she does on stage. As true gem. I attended those 2016 peace prize awards. Please review her song “it happened quiet”
Thank you for this great reaction to my favourite artist, had to subscribe for this and I hope you keep reacting to this unique artist.
I think you were on point with your interpretation of her.
She’s said that life is better without shoes, and she likes to be barefoot on stage to feel grounded, and she likes to stand on her tipi toes.
Her hand movements in the beginning was very uncontrollable, when she saw herself performing she thought it looked like she had a seizure or something.
Now she’s more confident on stage, and her movements are more gracious.
She wrote this song when she was 11 years old, and at that age she didn’t quite understand the meaning of the song, but as she grew older she knew that home meant home to her parents.
It means a lot to her and and are one of few songs that are about herself.
Aurora (Aurora Aksnes) is a Norwegian singer/songwriter/dancer and music producer born on the 15 of June 1996
So she’s 19 years old in this concert
She started writing music at the age of 6 after finding an old electric piano in the attic, she added lyrics (English) when she was 9 years old.
She’s self taught when it comes to singing and playing piano, and her family didn’t know about her talent until she was about 14 years old.
She took dancing lessons from 6 - 16, but then she quit to become an artist.
She actually didn’t want to be an artist, but her mom convinced her that she should share her music because it could help people.
It for sure has helped me through difficult times.
I love everything about this amazing “different kind of human” (she has a song called that.
Could you please react to:
“Through the eyes of a child” live at Nidarosdomen (cathedral in Norway) 2017
This is also an important song for her
“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.
What lovely feedback, thank you! I love about artists who are new to me 😊
Aurora is a natural, in this performance she is 17, you should check out her live performance at The Current of "It Happened Quiet" or "Through the Eyes of a Child" live at Nidarosdomen
I checked your channel page and didn't see Angelina Jordan.. For an intro you might try her performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on AGT Champions, (13 yo) or "Summertime" on Norway's Got Talent (*(yo)
Thanks for the comment. Angelina is definitely different...
Aurora is 19 in this concert😉
At this same concert, immediately following this, she performed a brilliant version of her some, 5-4-3-2-1, Murder Song. You won’t be disappointed; I recommend it for you next. And if you want more, It happened Quiet, live at the Current, as well her adaptation of David Bowie’s Life on Mars, specifically a live performance, just her alone singing and playing on a Rhodes organ. I’ll give you links for both.
^ that’s a good cross sample of her, and only scraping the surface, but I think as good as what you just reviewed, each of these may impress you more than the last.
She is absolutely different from the run of the mill singer but authentic and honest. A true talent. I agree that her somewhat overdone hand and arm movements could be distracting BUT that is who she is. It is not intentional.
I have watched a number of vocal analysts reacting to this song ,,, over the past two or three years and I have Yet to come across a rather indifferent response. Just praise.
I agree though, as you pointed out their are some little things she could improve on BUT generally a truely great performance, Thank You.
Thank you for the lovely feedback 😊
I enjoyed this review. I’m an Aurora fan and she is genuinely like this❤ she loves nature and spent much of her childhood in the woods alone😊
Hard not to be immediately enchanted by Aurora. ❤
Just subscribed. Hope you keep reacting to her. Writes and sings lots of unique and varied content. Seen her live, the girls a treasure!
Awe, you felt that burn. Cant help it. Its joyous to see one so blessed and sharing their soul talent. The frequencies she hits or something, cause reaction within.
Thanks for the reaction! I love your shirt!
Very authentic is a good way to put it. And yes her sound is incredibly clear! Love it
HI ! Aurora Aksnes is such a unique artist and human being, I can't describe it...
To keep this journey with Aurora, here is what you can do:
There is live performance that you absolutely need to fully react such as KEXP, Nidarosdomen, Honda Stage, The Current, Lismo (for the song Forgotten Love), Bergen in 2020, her Vevo LIVE performances, the HAIK concert and others...
Also, there's on youtube her unleaked song, none of them are similary or bad, they just would be perfect released this way.
There's song that alot forget to listen to but she made a cover of Pink Moon by Nick Drake, there's nothing the same she did it the way she want it to be ! She made songs or cover that arent part of albums but EPs like Under Stars, Awakening, In Boxes...
She colaborated with Askjell many times but one of their most beautiful song IMO is "to be loved", the live performance at Festspillene as the studio version. Also did a featuring recently with Tom Odell: "Butterflies", a gorgeous but unfortunately too short song, you'll get obsessed with !
Don't forget her singles, part or not of albums: A potion for love, Midas touch (for the TV serie Hannah), A dangerous thing, The Secret Garden (for the new film by the same): I really recommand you her live performace from Japan this is divine.
She also colaborated for the FROZEN PLANET II Documentary with Hans Zimmer, where she back vocals most of the song created for the documetary but the song "Take me back home" originally made by Hans Zimmer ft. Camila Cabello has been performed live by Aurora because this night Camila couldn't be present and to be honest, this is even better like litteraly.
As you should know she's the little voice calling for Elsa in FROZEN 2, but she also made her own version of the song.
Finally, maybe you could watch interviews or documentary of hers ?
Thats a lot i know, but I PROMISE you wont be deceived like there is nothing for, everything is special, unique, proper of this person she is.
AURORA is The Best genius so far. SO MUCH LOVE! ❤❤❤
she can hypnotize us with her lyrics and voice to take us to another world...
She didn’t wear shoes because she had so much e edgy inside her, she felt she needed to feel more grounded, and why not? I think that was rude of you to comment like that as an open8ng clip.
Totally agrees with you
Thank you. Enjoyed your AURORA reaction, she is a unique talent. I hope you enjoy exploring more AURORA, her live vocal performances are unparalleled in pop music. I love that Billie Eilish mentions this song as inspiring her to become a performer. Big Billie fan too...
She is amazing!!!
Your intros are legendary ❤❤❤
Love to see you react to more Auroa. She is one of my favorite artists. Her new music is being released this November, so there should be a lot of traffic to your channel if you do them now.
This song is amazing. I lissen it so many time
A more true artist will be hard to find, the best thing with her is her personality. If analyzing more of her, you really HAVE to now about her as a person, her magic is not in her voice believe or not.
Great analysis!
Aurora is a goddess, a warrior, I love her.
Great analys mister to my favourite artist of all time. But i have one big issue and that is that you never mentioned her emotions. This woman pours emotions through her skin and that is important for me. Hope you continuing to react to her. Then you definetly going to see this.
Please make more analysis of Aurora! Her voice and her music is so different!
Thank you for Aurora! See her performances at KEXP!
His explanation of her at first glance afte listening to first part is like spot on
Found your channel bc this video got recommended. I’m gonna sub and hope to see you discover more Aurora. She seems to have this way to speak to people on a very human-to-human level. I love getting more educated explanations and different ways to interpret what she does from different viewpoints. About her music tho: she’s got a new single coming out tomorrow, and when i heard the lil snippet she posted, i immediately noticed that she seems to be doing SOMETHING different with her voice compared to most of her singing before this. I don’t have the words or knowledge to explain what it is, but I’m excited to hear the full song + what her next album (and live performances!!!) are gonna be like. Would actually be very cool if someone would….. analyse her singing/music over the years…. this performance would be a pretty neat starting point i think 🤔🤫
Aurora is the greatest ❤
Me tornei inscrito por esse vídeo. Amei tudo que foi dito. Eu sou fã a AURORA, mas você conseguiu transmitir aquilo que sinto quando a ouço cantar. Muito obrigado!
I cry when i hear this song.
Bro :06 in and I’m done watching this video. The condescending tone killed this for me.
She is amazing. I was on her concert in Bergern - she was amazing.
For me, the most authentic thing we can see is when the song ends, it was like she was disconnected throughout the song and when it ends we can see how she returns to reality.
Definitely explore more of her performances, the more organic ones where she is performing in studios or in natural environments, they're very powerful, and you see more.of her range. She's unquestionably a free spirit and not of this world.
Please do Aurora Through The Eyes of A Child live. Chills for day. Also Ren x Chinchilla How To Be Me LIVE VERSION. Chills even after the 10000x time I've seen it. Last is Chinchilla Fingers LIVE for Hunger TV 🔥
check out her mesmerizing performance from her Nidarosdomen concert (a cathedral in Norway), especially, "Lucky". Of the 12 songs in that perfect and excellent concert, only three are covers.
It’s my first video on your channel, and I’m sorry but the first thing you comment on is on how she looks!! And that she is not wearing makeup. What on earth does that have to do with her voice!!
Maybe it’s your style and maybe you are good at what you do but I’m not going to see the rest.
her throat comes from paradise, because the earth needs her to enchant her
She wrote this song at the age of 11 and she was 19 here.
Ps: She wrote this song when she was 10! She was 19 when she sang at this performance.
I came across AURORA (stylized version of her name Aurora Aksnes) three years ago. She is authentic and this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Aurora is probably one of the most exciting artists that I have heard in many years.
As far as the no shoes thing goes I believe this is just Aurora connecting with that energy under the stage.
If you get a chance to watch reaction and analysis by "The Charismatic Voice" (Elizabeth Zharoff) I believe what she says about performing without shoes.
For me, she is just the best, no matter what folks says 😊
You are in for a treat! check out her love songs!
I'm originally from SA, I miss ja 😆
Loving her music.
She is one of the best the best singer-songwriter
Great reaction. Pls another Aurora reaction pls.
❤❤❤
In a documentary, i remember her saying she was diagnosed with Aspergers at a young age but that she hated labels.. As a 30 yr old aspie myself, i know for sure she wasnt even aware of her physical gestures..we learn to look more "normal" as we age 😂 which im not sure if its a good thing or not. Gotta love Aurora tho. Great singer and songwriter.
Oh and Pls pls do her "It Happened Quiet" (current session) 😊
Oh! I'm a clinical psychologist and when I saw this I thought it looked like stimming and wondered if she had autism. Thanks for the information!
As a vocal coach for over 30 years, I love that you pointed out the importance of good diction. It is not just our job as singers to make sounds, but to tell a story. ❤
i don't understand why most of the comments are negative. i think this is doing a good music analysis
Fantastic shirt
you need to react to ''murder song'' in the same show (nobel peace prize)
Aurora!
7 secs is sufficient to not try with this video, his face. Who cares what others want to do with his life.
thank you
very interesting
I wish you'd react to her live performance with Wardruna. That's impressive in so many different levels...
why barefoot? easy one: "live is better without shoes".
Grounded, connected to the earth
@@dianneking3842 or just a better live.
Please react to “Murder Song” from the same artist and event. I found her control particularly impressive in that performance
Good reaction, I would recommend MURDER SONG 54321, live at that same concert. Its really good , just her accompanied by an acoustic guitar and harmony by guitarist. 👍🍀 I believe she wrote this song you just reacted to at age 11, I believe 🤔👍🍀
You should review one of her other songs, forgotten love.
Yea
murder song from the same concert is a must :)
The craziest part is that she wrote this when she was 11 the second most crazy part is that she sounds exactly like she does in the music video. 🇪🇹✌️✌️✌️
Please react to the Live Performance „Murder Song“ from Aurora at the Nobel Peace Price Concert. This song will blow your mind.
You choose the wrong song. This is the one you should listen to. It's from the same concert - AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1). It will make feel your heart been ripped out. She is so unique, no makeup and so authentic as a human can be. Just love her!!!
AURORA - Heathens (Live Performance) | Vevo
AURORA - A Temporary High (Live Performance | Vevo)
AURORA - The Woman I Am (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance
Aurora - Running with the wolves (on German TV)

😊👍
Those who can't do, settle for trying to teach. Those who have nothing to teach, become critics.
She is a dancer basically as I know, this is the reason for the things that she do with her arm .
He begins at 2:14 if you want to skip his self aggrandizing…
You should also look into Heilung. We have some incredible artists here in the North.
You should analyze GRIMES
she is just the best even billie eilish was inspired by her
please do a reaction on lee sun hee's fate (30th live anniversary)
Please react to The murder song that she performed that sand day. Just amazing
Why did you react to something 8yrs old? 😂 Her new stuff is amazing.
The song is about grief.
In my opinion you chose the wrong song from that concert. She sang another one that is called "54321- Murder song." That one leaves me in tears every time.
You should listen to murder song from the same concert
