Having seen her live 3 times I can honestly say no one comes close to her ability to move emotions in people like she dose,as a songwriter Aurora has an incredible catalog of material,seriously she never fails to write a bad song her lyrics always make you think about life and the world we live in,then you add to that a voice that’s so full of pure honesty and emotions that take the whole package of Aurora to a different level,honestly I’m a 67 year old man who over the years has seen scores of artists live but no one has ever moved me emotionally like Aurora to say she is special would be an understatement,I only have one word for her Genius ❤️

It's truly remarkable how Aurora's music and performances have had such a profound impact on you. Her talent as a songwriter, coupled with the emotive power of her voice, clearly resonates deeply with her audience. It's a testament to her artistry when someone with a wealth of experience in live music, like yourself, finds her performances uniquely moving. Artists who can connect with their audience on such a personal level are indeed rare and special. Aurora's ability to evoke emotions and make listeners reflect on life and the world around them is indeed a sign of a gifted musician. Thank you for sharing your experience and appreciation for her work!

I agree ! - Im 63 year old - and Its like Aurora have a special Connection to something out there....

I confess, I'm an Aurora junkie. She is different, in every way. All her sons are different and she constantly revisits them. As she tends to sing in the moment she is generally better live. She sees the world in a different way to most of us and this shows in her lyrics. This song is just a love song but it captures the feelings of new love perfectly.

AURORA is a genius, she is so special.

If you wan't to check out a performance where she really shows her impressive technique (like really eye-bendingly impressive) I'd recommend 'It happened quiet' live at the current.

For another amazing example of Aurora and Silja harmonizing, check out It Happened Quiet, live at the Current. Amazing

Excellent choice!

She is a master storyteller. Her pitch control is very accurate live if she needs it to be. She often ornament with quick little spontaneous arpeggiated note runs that are unsurpassedly precise live. But she mainly focuses on getting the right feelings across and has zero interrest in showing of as a pitch perfect "singer". Her main focuses is the total emotional expression of the story. She uses extended glissando. Has a very rich tone (that works exellent a cappella). Predominantly light and airy, but when her chest voice kicks in, it can be very powerful and have a strong emotional impact on the listener. She has tons of different live performances (They all differ according to the atmosphere and venue), and you will get enough suggestions so I will leave that to others 😊

It's fascinating to hear about the intricacies of Aurora's live performances. Her emphasis on storytelling and emotional expression over technical showmanship is a hallmark of a truly authentic artist. Her skill in pitch control and the use of spontaneous arpeggiated note runs demonstrates a high level of musical proficiency, especially impressive in a live setting where precision is challenging. Aurora's use of extended glissando and her rich tonal quality, which shines even in a cappella performances, adds layers of depth to her music. The contrast between her light, airy voice and the powerful chest voice showcases her versatility and ability to convey a range of emotions effectively. Each performance being unique to its atmosphere and venue suggests a deep connection with her environment and audience, adapting her style to create the most impactful experience. It's clear that her focus on conveying the emotional essence of her stories resonates strongly with listeners, creating a profound and memorable experience. Thank you for sharing these insights into her artistic approach and live performances!

I was going to suggest some, but your suggestions are spot on!! 👍👍👍

Great natural artist with a lot of variation in her music and a lot of great songs. She has beautiful voice (although I think she was more precise in her earlier performances). Actually I love her all discography :). She is also very into the songs and emotions + great, open for interpretation lyrics.

Welcome to a better world, this huge talent with a matching kind and huge heart wrapped up in a tiny human, she is extremely authentic, unique and wonderfully weird. She is so much more than a great singer. You should explore the Nidarosdomen concert, it is, IMO, not a better performance by anyone, ever. Thanks for checking out my all time favorite MULTI talented artist, hope to see more Aurora on your channel soon.

You have to check out more!! She just keep suprising you every time!!

I think you are bang on. Aurora, in spite of her alt pop sound, is in my view a folk singer and as such she "tells" a story every time she sings. Perfection can very rapidly become an enemy of the soul, but Auroras voice is just "perfect" for every song she sings. I'v been following this woman for more that eight years now and I can say without a shadow of a doubt she makes the most beautiful sounds that exist on this planet. A once in a generation singer, writer, poet, human. So nice to get a pro's perspective on such a treasure. More please. Oh, and subscribed.

Strange girl, but mesmerising voice. Always takes me to another place. Very different but really interesting.

You can get away with not being strange as a singer. You can even get away with it if you are a vocalist. But as an artist your credibility lies in you somewhat being odd, weird or as you put it "strange". It's like you being a genius and people understand you.......that's no genius at all.

First time hearing Aurora and I'm really impressed.

Thanks, I really enjoyed that! Aurora is awesome, and I hope to see more of her on your channel. 👍🤟 It's interesting that you referenced this as folky, as the original has more of a '40s feel, like it could be in an old movie. And even the music video plays into that theme. But Aurora often changes songs up live, whether going full acoustic or not. She never just tries to mimic the original, as she remains creative, no matter how often she performs a song. I would love to see you break down "Murder Song" from the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert, which I consider one of the best performances I've ever seen by anyone. Another good one is "It Happened Quiet" live at The Current, with only Aurora and her lovely backup singer here, Silja Sol, who also plays acoustic guitar in that performance.

Oh Aurora! She is a treasure❤

Nice 😊. Very talented, but quite the introvert. Took time for her to get comfortable on stage. Never wanted to become an artist and turned down offers, but her mother talked her into sharing her music with the world. As someone already mentioned, I think she was concerned with singing "perfect" when she started out. Lover her acoustic versions, but she's great in any setting. "Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)" from the Nobel Peace Prize concert is must see Aurora. A different side of her .

check out her song 'in boxes'.

ITS NICE

She’s the best ❤

Here in the Philippines, the most viewed singer in spotify and itunes is Moira Dela Torre. She sings at the same range as Aurora. But still in the pop genre. Aurora is almost folk singing.

Hello Dr. Dan. Great analys. Welcome to our beautiful world of AURORA. Have been following this female being for eight years now and have enjoyed it constantly throughout the journey. I have listened to almost everything in my path during the 45 years of my life and really there are only two artists who have managed to grab hold of my soul in such a strong way and they are AURORA and Amy Lee (Evanescense). Both have a tone that is both strong and fragile. I'm not attracted to brutally strong voices like the ones you mentioned. There are other artists I like but these two are in a class by themselves (in my opinion). As for AURORA, it is not only her singing voice but her entire artistry that is so amazing. She really is someone who can make you relax and the feeling that she sings just for me is always so strong. a proposal for reaction and analysis. Is AURORA. Lucky- live in Nidarosdomen. For me this is the best performance ever been made. So fragile and yet strong. So haunted yet beautiful. and all the time with a presence that touches everything. Sorry about the long text and my english. I am really burning for this artist.

Hello! It's wonderful to hear about your deep appreciation for Aurora and Amy Lee. Their ability to blend strength with fragility in their voices is indeed captivating. Aurora's overall artistry, extending beyond her singing to her entire presence and performance, clearly has a profound impact on you. The way she makes you feel as if she's singing just for you is a powerful testament to her connection with her audience. Your description of her performance of "Lucky" live in Nidarosdomen as fragile yet strong, haunted yet beautiful, truly encapsulates the unique essence she brings to her music. It's always a pleasure to hear from someone so passionate about their favourite artist. Don't worry about the length of your text or your English - your enthusiasm for Aurora's work shines through brilliantly!

Yes you found Aurora!!! One of my fav coaches reacting to my fav singer ❤

Aurora is a great singer and songwriter...but as someone said...there must be something in the water in Norway. I recommend another Norwegian singer and songwriter. Angelina Jordan. She was born on January 10, 2006 in Oslo. Now she is 18 years old and lives in LA. But she started singing at 18 months (there is a video) She sang many covers of the old masters like Billie Holliday, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong etc. Quincy Jones became her mentor and invited her to his 85th birthday to sing at the O2 Arena. She was 12 years old then. There are over 200 songs on YT, but let's start with her cover and original arrangement of Screaming Jay Hawkins' "I put a spell on you" (black and white version) from 2015. She was just 9 years old at the time. I promise, you will be blown away...like everyone.

Aurora is a pro when it comes to breath control. She might not be a power ballad singer, but in my opinion she has just as much skill, if not more.

Love Aurora ❤

Please react AURORA Stjernestøv live

Yes!! I recommended Aurora a while ago 🙂 While I don't particularly agree with her "woke" activism, I am obsessed with her as an artist (although I like her old songs better than the new ones). She wrote and recorded hundreds of songs! Only a few see the light of day. Some have been leaked, and it's so interesting to see her experimenting with completely different styles. I saw her live twice, and she has the habit of locking eyes with random people in the front rows. She really sings directly to you 😳 She puts emotion above all else in her art. I was going to suggest more of her live performances, but there's already a comment with a long list that seems perfect 👌 I hope you react to her again! I covered a few of her songs in my own channel. My voice has become a bit chipmunky from singing Aurora and Japanese songs so much, so now I'm working in the other direction to expand my toolbelt.

So you don't care about being aware and attentive to issues of racial and social importance. Got it. It's good for the world that we have Aurora then. She really cares about said issues. I don't particularly agree with selfish individuals, but can appreciate your "obsession" with Aurora. Maybe one day you will see the importance in taking care of our enviroment and each other.

@@lillia5333 Hi. Your many assumptions about me and instant hostility without bothering to understand my reasons show you live in a woke extreme-leftist fragile little glass bubble, which you must defend like the true justice warrior nobody asked for you all are. I support LGBT people. I care about the planet. I'm not racist. I would prefer to have peace in the world. I'm pro-choice (within limits). What I don't like is extremes. Extremes like blindingly defending the Q+ community even when it tramples over the safety of women and children and denies people their freedom of speech. Extremes like defending Hamas terrorists. Extremes like regurgitating Tiktok "information" like it's some kind of bible, without bothering to investigate both sides and have your own opinions on each issue. I've been following Aurora for years. She's young. So are you. I'm 40. Hopefully you'll mature and be yourself someday, rather than just another wokie.

The backing singer is Silja Sol, another Norwegian singer.

Next: it Happened Quiet, Live at the Current!!!

Nice reaction and Analysis coach! thank you! Liked n subscribed. What if a girl group? Here is a video you should check out ‘BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER’ (So Hyang Version) by a Filipino girl group 4TH IMPACT.

Gold dust

As wonderful as her singing is, I consider her lyrics as a songwriter to be profound and the true body of her art.

Dr Dan, I would love to hear you react to Haley Reinhart and PostModern Jukebox covering "Creep" by Radiohead. It currently has over 120 million views on KZread. I think you would be astounded by her voice and her many vocal techniques.

She's not the best voice in the world. But one of the best artists. You have an interesting analysis, I would love to see more analysis of her live performances. After all, it sounds better live than in the studio.

I have to say, something about the tonality of her voice and her immersive storytelling ability just takes me away every time. I've seen a number of great female singers in concert over the years, including Sinead O'Connor, Janis Joplin, Annie Halsam, Stevie Nicks, and Dolores O' Reardan of the Cranberries (whose voice and singing style in some ways remind me most of Aurora), and I have to say there is something very special about Aurora, her entire persona and amazing presence in a live setting!

@@kippys1 exactly. she is special. it just so happened, but my playlist is mostly the best in history, and Aurora has a well-deserved place among them. I think that she is a truly phenomenal artist, like Joplin, like Joe Cocker, and the rest who made history. and she is absolutely the best modern artist.

very nice analysis, a lot of good information that I haven't heard from other people. Aurora is a real treasure because she follows her own path - which can lead in some strange directions, interviews with her is like walking through a mine field, she can say anything. She's truly gifted. On that subject, while you are in Norway, here is a song from a 16 year old, at the time, she's 18 now, singer named Angelina Jordan Astar, AKA the barefoot angel of Oslo. Angelina has been astounding audiences since she was seven and now that she's finished high school she's been releasing a lot of stuff. This tribute to Elvis Presley gives an idea of where she now. Please give it a listen, You won't be disappointed - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIiWrcqkk8i4YJM.html

You should react to (early) Angelina Jordan while you are at it!
