if you’re looking for more weird musicals, there is a musical called “lizard boy” and it is REALLY good and SUPER underrated. it’s about a guy who is mutated to have green scales and how he lives while looking like a “freak” (as an allegory to racism, plot inspired by x-men and similar things, he has superpowers). but anyways, it has PHENOMENAL songs mostly in a guitar heavy, not very “typical” musical sounding style! i’d recommend listening to “trevor’s song / overture”, “a terrible ride”, “myth to live by”, “lizard boy”, and “don’t know where to go” in that order, because it is the order they appear in the musical (though missing a few in between). hope you are doing well!!
Billie Eilish told Vanity Fair: “When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video.Something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.”
If you’re doing Aurora again, "Murder Song" (live from the nobel peace concert) is an absolute MUST! Also recommend her covers of "nature boy" and "life on mars". Great reaction as always!
If u ever decide to listen to more AURORA i recommend the songs: - through the eyes of a child - murder song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) ACOUSTIC VERSION they both are from her first album and have AMAZING vocals :) hope u like it!
Please please if you want to do a part 2. I recommend The Seed Everything Matters Under the Water To Be Loved These songs are my favorite of hers and I would be so stoked if you checked them out!!!!
My first song I heard from her was "Lucky" and even if it was ages ago, it still has a special place in my heart. If you have a spare moment, listen to it please. It's really good in both vocals and meaning.
I came across Running With The Wolves when it was used as the theme song for the fourth and fifth seasons of a British TV show called Wolfblood, about teenagers who had the ability to turn into wolves. To this day, it is one of my favourite TV shows, and one of the very few that I own as a DVD box set!
When I was younger I used to compete in dance competitions and ‘Running with the wolves’ was one of my solos. I didn’t win much but with that dance something inside me just clicked. I’ve never been prouder of myself and every time I hear this somg it brings me straight back there. Such an emotional song for me
I'm so happy you got to check out Aurora. She is so magical! If you ever decide to do part two you simply HAVE to listen to The Seed and Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1). You'll be blown away!! 💕
Could you listen to a lesser known band called “Tally Hall.” They have lots of great songs like “The Bidding”, “Hidden in the sand”, and “Ruler of Everything.” It would be awesome if you listened to them.
You should really react to her latest album that she dropped in january. It's called "The gods we can touch". Each song is based off of a different Greek god or goddess. Also, how have I never heard of people doing that water drop sound effect?
GOOD GOD i remember a few years ago i recommended alt j to you and you told me you loved them, now i'm disappointed i didnt mention aurora then!! she's such an amazing artist im so glad you started listening to her now, all her albums are **chef kiss** it's never too late & i hope you get to enjoy her as much as us fans do💃🏽
MATHEW, you need to listen to the covers she did of God is a Woman, from Ariana Grande, and Beliver, from imagine dragons, THEY'RE STUNNING Also, try listening to "It happened quiet" from her second album/EP "Infections of a different kind"
AAAAA FINALLY AN AURORA REACTION VIDEO! i would honestly recommend songs from "infections of a different kind" and "the gods we can touch", two of my favorite albums of hers. it has the most authentic sounds of aurora that truly do feel as if they came from her soul. however i love all her songs and i adore how much she's developed over the years! i love ur reactions to her too, and i'm so glad more ppl are starting to appreciate her
Really enjoyed your reaction and thoughtful analysis of those songs by AURORA! So much great stuff to choose from when it comes to AURORA! For her music videos, I highly recommend THE SEED, WINTER BIRD, QUEENDOM, and APPLE TREE! Her live performances are incredible -- THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD, LUCKY, and IT HAPPENED QUIET at Nidaros Cathedral; INFECTIONS OF A DIFFERENT KIND, THE SEED and DAYDREAMER at her 2019 HAIK concert she performed in a forest; ALL IS SOFT INSIDE and CHURCHYARD at the 2018 KEXP concert in Iceland; FORGOTTEN LOVE at the LINDMO concert on NRK; and a number of very recent live performances, especially the acoustic and piano ones! Then there are her covers -- RASPUTIN (Boney M), LIFE ON MARS (David Bowie), TEARDROP (Massive Attack), to name a few.
If you want to get into her really experimental music, listen to "Wisdom Cries". My personal favorite song (along with Warrior) is "In Boxes", and I think you'd really enjoy "Conqueror" as well! Also, fun fact: One of her songs (Under the water) even has a version in Simlish (the made up language in The Sims), which you can find on the "spooky" radio station in the game! By the way, I think it's funny that you started with a cover, when she is known for writing her own music, but it is a very good cover, so no harm done!
Loved the video! Aurora is amazing! I would love to see your reactions to Thomas Sanders, he does covers and his voice is amazing! He also has a yt series called Sander Sides and it does have some original musical-type numbers!
I'm glad to know that you liked Aurora, I hope you can react to her live performances, I'm sure you'll love them. Aurora is simply magical and she is releasing her album so I recommend it to you 😊
He should play Sky:Children Of The Light Aurora does all the mystical beautiful vocals, and rn u can go to a concert by her in game! I did it and it moved me so much You can learn more about the concert through the game and the game awards recently
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to will wood, hes like my favorite musician my recs would be I/Me/Myself, 5oh 6up CopOut, and Love me, Normally. Hes also in a band Will wood and the Tapeworms that also make really banger songs!
PLEASE listen to songs from the infections of a different kind(step 1) and a different kind of human(step 2) albums, especially the title songs. Queendom is also an absolute must watch. Auroras music is beautiful and im super happy that youre checking her out !!
I didn't expect this reaction, but she's one of my favorite singers, so I won't complain :D Also, I would recommend listening to her entire last album "The Gods We Can Touch", it's just so beautiful
I would love to see more Aurora reactions from you! She has so much more to offer, i just know you'll love her other songs. I recommend Exist for love, All is Soft inside, Murder song, The seed, and Queendom.
Love your reactions. Here's a fellow Norwegian that you might consider analyzing. Shortly after turning 9, this little barefooted girl arranged and performed a masterpiece cover of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 original, "I Put a Spell on You". Although this song has been performed time and time again, many think this studio performance got closest to the original artist's intent. To further confound the issue, it also just doesn't seem rational that this is coming from a little Angelina Jordan. You may not prefer critiquing child singers, but this child prodigy is like nothing we've seen before. "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" (black and white studio performance) - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html - A Child Prodigy - Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy who: began singing at 16 months old; shows a clear preference for jazz/blues (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Etta James, Ben E. King, and Amy Winehouse), a talent which always work its way into every performance with her vibrato and riffs; she arranges all of her music; entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 y/o, and ended up winning; has performed around the world; her parents have kept their focus on her having a normal childhood so 90% of requests and offers have been turned down. The largest performance she has sung for was for over 40,000 people, while still a preteen in Norway. Having won Norway’s Got Talent, she was invited to compete America's Got Talent "The Champions" in 2020, at 13 y/o. She auditioned with her own arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", earning herm a pass straight to the finals. By 15, she has over 160 cover performances and 5 originals. She has signed with Republic Records at 14. Her parents have still tried to preserve a normal childhood as possible for her and her little sister. She turned 16 this January, and Angelina's presence in the music industry is increasing (Here is Republic Records' page about Angelina - www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan ) Here are 2 other videos you may wish to sample. The first is her "Bohemian Rhapsody" audition for AGTC and the second is her final performance on Norway's Got Talent, where she arranged and performed "Summertime". This second video has English CC and is broken into 4 parts: a spotlight on Angelina's experience on NGT; her performance of "Summertime"; the judge's responses to the impacts Angelina has made on them; and the announcement of the winner. Here are the time breakdowns of this performance: spotlight 0-1.40; performance of "Summertime" 1.40-4.20; judges summation 4.20-8.00; winner selected 8.00-12.48. If you wish to only listen to the song, I've included the judge's comments below. I've also included the backstory on why Angelina always performs and records barefoot. AGTC - "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" (includes golden buzzer) th-cam.com/video/tC1hD7k_WTw/w-d-xo.html NGT 4 - "SUMMERTIME" (spotlights Angelina, pre/post performance, winning NGT, and has English CC) - th-cam.com/video/zN4kAof1is0/w-d-xo.html - Norway's Got Talent Judges Reflections on Angelina - Omer Bhatti: “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”. Judge Lisa Tønne: “…I am so happy that there is a human like you on earth. For me, this is not human like talent, I can’t explain it. … I’ve never ever experienced such a talent in my life.… “Don’t think. Just sing”. Judge Mia Gundersen: “Angelina, you have a gift that you got at such an early age. And to be able to convey this talent to the world is a huge task for an 8 year old, but you nail it. There’s almost no one that can convey in the way you do in this age. There are a lot of singers out there, and some of them sing great. But you have such a unique style. You have to protect your style. You have to understand that for yourself because it’s a gift…" Judge Bjarte Hjelmeland: “It won’t help how many times you say ‘Don’t you cry’, I can’t help it but to cry. You know I promised you and myself to not cry, but you hit something inside me whenever you sing, and you hit something in many people when you sing. And I’m thinking to myself, in 10 years… I think that is unimaginable…You sing so amazingly good.” - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz Backstory - Angelina is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl about her age sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefooted, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She remembers that girl every time she takes off her shoes to perform. Of the encounter, little 6 year old Angelina wrote in her diary: “The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The book and her attire Angelina wore for her AGTC audition (above) were designed by her grandmother, who was herself a child prodigy in poetry and art. She has performed in charities for children, helping to raise 21 million euros and millions of dollars.
Aurora has made her own version of Into the Unknown, which I prefer to the original. It sounds more fitting for a Disney movie imo th-cam.com/video/FcDYP0oDB5A/w-d-xo.html
I saw her live two years ago and Warrior is one of those songs you must scream out loud in a room full of people. The energy flowing around the venue was simply powerful and beyond description 💙
LOVED ur reaction after the bridge ended!Love all of ur unexpected reactions to songs!I love vibing to music as u,dude!Keep up the amazing reactions and content,man!Also fun fact,did u know Running with the wolves was one of the theme songs for the teenage drama fantasy show called Wolfblood?
YOO i love Aurora her voice is so angelic ALSO I recommend half•alive they're epic I think you'd love TrusT it has an amazing beat drop I personally prefer their older music like the songs from Now, not yet but What's Wrong is also pretty cool Hope you make a video on them, I'd love to see your reaction :D
Loved your reaction! Please do more of Aurora! I recommend All is soft inside, Queendom, The Seed, Forgotten love, Exist for love and/or A different kind of human to name a few ☺️
I reckon you might like Au/ra her music is slightly more haunting sounding, but uses harmonics in a beautiful way. I would easily recommend her to anyone who has a passion for music
i think another band you should react to if your interested in is Steampowered Giraffe, songs like Honeybee, Clockwork Vaudville, and brass goggles are some of my favorites, or the band Tally hall, they're really cool and interesting bands if you wanted to check them out!
Auroras music helped me through moments of depression, art block and so much more. I love her aethereal sound, she's my favorite musician and I love seeing other people recognize how great her music is.
DAY TWELVE OF ASKING FOR A REACTION TO NCT Who is NCT? NCT is a 23 member k-pop group that is divided into 4 separate sub-units. Each subunit has something different about them. Every few years they do come together and release a song consisting of all members. In the past, it's either been a mashup of songs or a dance track with only a few lines from a few members. NCT 127 is a 10 members sub-unit that primarily promotes in Seoul, South Korea; hence the '127' is the longitude of the city. They are known for their experimental sound in music and having their once sense of uniqueness in every release NCT Dream is a group consisting of all the youngest members. They debuted with a very youthful image, but have matured more in their content. A lot of the fans favor this group over their sound of music. NCT U is a rotational sub-unit that switches between members per comeback (song release) depending on who fits the concept best. They only release singles due to the rotating. WAYV is the Chinese-based sub-unit that promotes primarily in China, of course. The name change is due to legal reasons between China and Korea (I think- don't ask me tbh) I personally think this group has a very futuristic sound throughout their songs. It's very present in songs like Turn Back Time and Bad Alive. SONGS RECOMMENDATIONS NCT 127: Sticker, 2021 (highly recommend) Simon Says, 2018 Cherry Bomb, 2017 NCT Dream: We Go Up, 2018 Deja Vu, 2020 My First and Last, 2017 NCT U: Make a Wish, 2020 7th Sense, 2016 Misfit, 2020 WAYV: Action Figure, 2021 Turn Back Time, 2020 Bad Alive, 2020 FULL GROUP SONGS 2018: Black On Black 2020: Resonance 2021: Beautiful I chose songs that personally think have unique sounds and think will make a good video. If anyone has any other recommendations, please, I would love to hear feedback.
Man, you've gotta do a part 2, and if you do, I highly recommend Heathens, it's one of her newer songs, and Helvegen, for something completely different.
Im glad someone could put my love and admiration for Aurora into words. Loved watching someone feel all the same emotions i had hearing these songs for the first time
If you want to listen to Aurora again I would also recommend one of her few Norwegian songs that she made called "Stjernestøv" which was made for a Norwegian advent calendar show (which we have yearly, meaning we make a new show for every December that slowly unravels as a calendar would and finishes on Christmas day
YESSS I love aurora :D if you’re ever doing another video on her I definitely recommend blood in the wine and this could be a dream from her new album; they’re absolute bangers
Oh to be able to go back a few years to when I first listened to each song and the feelings of discovery they evoked in me being so new to me. My friends told me about her music and I started out with 'the seed' which is quite a powerful song and I fell in love with the music almost immediately. And what a time for Mathew to start listening, just as the new album dropped, giving us even more variation and new song styles. Every single song is brilliant and refreshing/distinct whilst also having songs like 'a different kind of human' and 'mothership' being similar and even overlapping their audio in some places to tell her stories from each album. She creates these worlds of both calm and safety but intense power and naïvety of sticking to the status quo. Anyways, some cool facts. 'Half the world away' was for the John Lewis Christmas advert about the man on the moon. Such an iconic thing to be able to do as the John Lewis adverts were practically a Christmas tradition lol. She also sang a haunting cover of 'nature boy' for one of the Alien movies. 'Running with the wolves' got a second version made to better fit the film Wolfwalkers. She sang as the mystery voice in Frozen 2. So she really does have a lot under her belt. When Mathew said he felt like chanting the lyrics to 'warrior' with a bunch of other people I couldn't help but laugh because that's exactly what happens at an AURORA concert when she sings that song. Everyone sings along and those fists go in the air during the chorus, every song is just as excellent in live form as well because she really is that great at singing. Certain songs are slightly different when sung live to better fit the concert narrative, cause even her concerts tell stories. Got my second concert seeing her in less than a month and I am so hyped
This was a great and sincere reaction to the talent of Aurora. I'd love to see your reaction to her singing 'It Happened Quiet' live at The Current. It's one of the best performances I've ever seen from anybody and always gives me the chills. I think you'd really like it.
SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN. I get to her concert in the USA! (Her live singing is fantastic) Overdue reaction to such an idol, but I think I want you to see her most powerful songs!!☆ My suggestions: 'It Happened Quiet' (acoustic version or normal) 'Murder Song' (Nobel Peace Prize 2015 Live) 'Churchyard' (Original) 'The Seed' (Music video - my personal favorite) 'Athena' (the lyric video) 'Exhale, Inhale' (lyric video) I think these are interesting in lyrics, composition and in their power!☆
that first song was a cover, and then you jumped ahead from her older original songs ie. Warrior, all the way to stuff from the newest album, Cure for Me, and THEN you went back to 2015 (Runaway.) So you definitely got a bit of super-change-of-sound whiplash, lol. BTW, Billie Eilish saw the video for Runaway when she was like 12 and said in an interview it was part of her inspiration to do music herself.
Aurora is the #1 artistic phenomenon that I've come across in my 42 years, and I doubt anyone more spectacular will show up anytime soon. I would suggest Lucky & Through the Eyes of a Child (Nidarosdomen concert), Queendom (Loustic or Paste Studio sessions), Heathens (Live - Vevo).
For next Aurora songs definitely don't miss out on Murder song (especially good live) and my personal favorite- It happened quiet (live in nidarosdomen (? Not sure if it is spelled this way)) both are very emotional so if you want more happy then there is Exist for love and Conqueror I love your reactions and the way you edit your videos, you just gravitate fun vibes!
Thank you for coming along! I hope you enjoyed the video 💙 let me know what you'd like to see next!
Can you please react to tally hall? They have some really great songs!
I really recommend the "Into the woods" soundtrack aswell :D (up to you obviously!)
@@SodaPop-sw3vs Vouch
Please listen to enemy by imagine dragons it’s a really good song :)
Edit: also listen to rare Americans, they have amazing music
if you’re looking for more weird musicals, there is a musical called “lizard boy” and it is REALLY good and SUPER underrated.
it’s about a guy who is mutated to have green scales and how he lives while looking like a “freak” (as an allegory to racism, plot inspired by x-men and similar things, he has superpowers). but anyways, it has PHENOMENAL songs mostly in a guitar heavy, not very “typical” musical sounding style!
i’d recommend listening to “trevor’s song / overture”, “a terrible ride”, “myth to live by”, “lizard boy”, and “don’t know where to go” in that order, because it is the order they appear in the musical (though missing a few in between).

Wow deep 😔❤
What can I say, Aurora has the power to touch hearts of any kind
If you’re doing Aurora again, "Murder Song" (live from the nobel peace concert) is an absolute MUST! Also recommend her covers of "nature boy" and "life on mars". Great reaction as always!

The River and The Seed are so good as well!
Also daydreamer! :) (the haik performances are especially good)
If u ever decide to listen to more AURORA i recommend the songs:

My favorite part "but I know that is time to let go....huuu...uuu...." Ugh 😩
Ive been listening to AURORA for 6 years. She is one of the most talented singer/songwriters out there.
I recommend "exist for love" its a very beautiful song.
Yes!
I came across Running With The Wolves when it was used as the theme song for the fourth and fifth seasons of a British TV show called Wolfblood, about teenagers who had the ability to turn into wolves. To this day, it is one of my favourite TV shows, and one of the very few that I own as a DVD box set!
I cried when i heard it now again the nostalgia AAGHHH
I KNEW IT I KNEW I RECOGNIZE IT, I MEAN WOLF BLOOD WAS LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD SHOWS!!!!!
AHHH! IM SO GLAD YOU LISTENED TO AURORA!! HER VOICE IS THE DEFINITION OF MESMERISING
When I was younger I used to compete in dance competitions and ‘Running with the wolves’ was one of my solos. I didn’t win much but with that dance something inside me just clicked. I’ve never been prouder of myself and every time I hear this somg it brings me straight back there. Such an emotional song for me
Recommendations for if you decide to do a part 2:

- Different Kind of Human
- Infection of a Different Kind
Seconded
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
(I also suggest watching her live performances it’s a whole different experience!!)
I'm so happy you got to check out Aurora. She is so magical!
If you ever decide to do part two you simply HAVE to listen to The Seed and Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1).
You'll be blown away!! 💕

i concur :D
GOD YES PLEASE
I'm going to keep asking for this on every video that he posts until he does it.
YES
VOUCH
You should really react to her latest album that she dropped in january. It's called "The gods we can touch". Each song is based off of a different Greek god or goddess. Also, how have I never heard of people doing that water drop sound effect?
I feel like everyone in the UK knows Half the World Away, it was used in a very popular advert here

Loved the video! Aurora is amazing! I would love to see your reactions to Thomas Sanders, he does covers and his voice is amazing! He also has a yt series called Sander Sides and it does have some original musical-type numbers!
I discovered her music from the sky concert, she is my inspiration.
I'm glad to know that you liked Aurora, I hope you can react to her live performances, I'm sure you'll love them. Aurora is simply magical and she is releasing her album so I recommend it to you 😊
He should play Sky:Children Of The Light
Aurora does all the mystical beautiful vocals, and rn u can go to a concert by her in game! I did it and it moved me so much
You can learn more about the concert through the game and the game awards recently
The Seed is genuinely her best song. Make sure to react to the music video!
You should totally listen to some more of her music. The Seed, Queendom, Eyes of a Child, and Exhale Inhale are a few I think you would really enjoy
You wouldn't happen to be a Skykid would you?
@earphones_guy lmao, yes. Yes I would

I love Aurora so much! All her stuff is great. I listened to her new album, exclusively, for a month. Temporary Vice is probably my fav of hers.
I just want you to know that I actually have days where I just rewatch your videos all the time. You are my favorite TH-camr.
I love runaway. It is probably one of the songs I most strongly connect to.
Rewatching some of your old stuff!
So happy when I saw your Warrior reaction, it being my second favorite Aurora song
My personal favorite is The Seed
Half the World Away is actually a cover of an Oasis song! Both songs are really awesome :)
PLEASE listen to songs from the infections of a different kind(step 1) and a different kind of human(step 2) albums, especially the title songs. Queendom is also an absolute must watch. Auroras music is beautiful and im super happy that youre checking her out !!
If you react to her again you should check out her cover of "teardrop" and "god is a woman"!
I didn't expect this reaction, but she's one of my favorite singers, so I won't complain :D
Also, I would recommend listening to her entire last album "The Gods We Can Touch", it's just so beautiful
I was listening to her new songs so many times the last two months and suddenly i get the notification. I am exited for this :D
Exist for love is so hypnotic and beautifully written.
I recommend Everything Matters and It Happened Quiet!
Would recommend everything from her new album, especially Blood in the Wine and Exhale Inhale and You Keep Me Crawling
I love how she expresses herself, it looks like she can feel the music literally
I would love to see more Aurora reactions from you! She has so much more to offer, i just know you'll love her other songs. I recommend Exist for love, All is Soft inside, Murder song, The seed, and Queendom.
Love your reactions. Here's a fellow Norwegian that you might consider analyzing. Shortly after turning 9, this little barefooted girl arranged and performed a masterpiece cover of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 original, "I Put a Spell on You". Although this song has been performed time and time again, many think this studio performance got closest to the original artist's intent. To further confound the issue, it also just doesn't seem rational that this is coming from a little Angelina Jordan. You may not prefer critiquing child singers, but this child prodigy is like nothing we've seen before.

- A Child Prodigy -
Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy who: began singing at 16 months old; shows a clear preference for jazz/blues (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Etta James, Ben E. King, and Amy Winehouse), a talent which always work its way into every performance with her vibrato and riffs; she arranges all of her music; entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 y/o, and ended up winning; has performed around the world; her parents have kept their focus on her having a normal childhood so 90% of requests and offers have been turned down. The largest performance she has sung for was for over 40,000 people, while still a preteen in Norway.
Having won Norway’s Got Talent, she was invited to compete America's Got Talent "The Champions" in 2020, at 13 y/o. She auditioned with her own arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", earning herm a pass straight to the finals. By 15, she has over 160 cover performances and 5 originals. She has signed with Republic Records at 14. Her parents have still tried to preserve a normal childhood as possible for her and her little sister. She turned 16 this January, and Angelina's presence in the music industry is increasing (Here is Republic Records' page about Angelina - www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan )
Here are 2 other videos you may wish to sample. The first is her "Bohemian Rhapsody" audition for AGTC and the second is her final performance on Norway's Got Talent, where she arranged and performed "Summertime". This second video has English CC and is broken into 4 parts: a spotlight on Angelina's experience on NGT; her performance of "Summertime"; the judge's responses to the impacts Angelina has made on them; and the announcement of the winner. Here are the time breakdowns of this performance: spotlight 0-1.40; performance of "Summertime" 1.40-4.20; judges summation 4.20-8.00; winner selected 8.00-12.48. If you wish to only listen to the song, I've included the judge's comments below. I've also included the backstory on why Angelina always performs and records barefoot.

- Norway's Got Talent Judges Reflections on Angelina -
Omer Bhatti: “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”.
Judge Lisa Tønne: “…I am so happy that there is a human like you on earth. For me, this is not human like talent, I can’t explain it. … I’ve never ever experienced such a talent in my life.… “Don’t think. Just sing”.
Judge Mia Gundersen: “Angelina, you have a gift that you got at such an early age. And to be able to convey this talent to the world is a huge task for an 8 year old, but you nail it. There’s almost no one that can convey in the way you do in this age. There are a lot of singers out there, and some of them sing great. But you have such a unique style. You have to protect your style. You have to understand that for yourself because it’s a gift…"
Judge Bjarte Hjelmeland: “It won’t help how many times you say ‘Don’t you cry’, I can’t help it but to cry. You know I promised you and myself to not cry, but you hit something inside me whenever you sing, and you hit something in many people when you sing. And I’m thinking to myself, in 10 years… I think that is unimaginable…You sing so amazingly good.”
- The Barefoot Princess of Jazz Backstory -
Angelina is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl about her age sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefooted, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She remembers that girl every time she takes off her shoes to perform.
Of the encounter, little 6 year old Angelina wrote in her diary: “The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The book and her attire Angelina wore for her AGTC audition (above) were designed by her grandmother, who was herself a child prodigy in poetry and art. She has performed in charities for children, helping to raise 21 million euros and millions of dollars.
Me before discovering her: great, another depresed soft voice singer
Aurora: *_Laughts in Range_*
YOU NEED TO HEAR ’THE SEED’
i just found out that she was the “voice” in frozen 2 from into the unknown
Aurora has made her own version of Into the Unknown, which I prefer to the original. It sounds more fitting for a Disney movie imo th-cam.com/video/FcDYP0oDB5A/w-d-xo.html
Oh if u do another one can't miss "it happened quiet" live at the current! I love watching her weave together the story as she sings in that one 😍🥰
WAIT HAS NOBODY MENTIONED "EXHALE INHALE"?‽!?
If you wanna do an album listen then the Concert Soundtrack for Sky Children
I saw her live two years ago and Warrior is one of those songs you must scream out loud in a room full of people. The energy flowing around the venue was simply powerful and beyond description 💙
Pls do more from her albums 🙏 😭 pls do Winter Bird/Murder Song/ Exist for love/ Queendom/ Black water lilies !!!
Please please do more AURORA reactions! I really recommend her music as it is always changing and evolving into new sounds.
LOVED ur reaction after the bridge ended!Love all of ur unexpected reactions to songs!I love vibing to music as u,dude!Keep up the amazing reactions and content,man!Also fun fact,did u know Running with the wolves was one of the theme songs for the teenage drama fantasy show called Wolfblood?
YOO i love Aurora her voice is so angelic
ALSO
I recommend half•alive they're epic
I think you'd love TrusT it has an amazing beat drop
I personally prefer their older music like the songs from Now, not yet but What's Wrong is also pretty cool
Hope you make a video on them, I'd love to see your reaction :D
you need to react to more of her stuff dude. i recommend "the seed."
Loved your reaction! Please do more of Aurora! I recommend All is soft inside, Queendom, The Seed, Forgotten love, Exist for love and/or A different kind of human to name a few ☺️
Will be entertaining to watch you go through her discography, hugs from Sweden.
I got this notification while listening to her!
I suggest you listen to Will Wood. His songs are kinda trippy but really cool. 😁
Watching this video after Season of AURORA makes 5:53 and 10:21 hit different
Mathew: this is really peaceful 😌
Aurora: I can't take it anymore
I reckon you might like Au/ra her music is slightly more haunting sounding, but uses harmonics in a beautiful way. I would easily recommend her to anyone who has a passion for music
i think another band you should react to if your interested in is Steampowered Giraffe, songs like Honeybee, Clockwork Vaudville, and brass goggles are some of my favorites, or the band Tally hall, they're really cool and interesting bands if you wanted to check them out!
Highly recommend her live version with Silja for It Happened Quiet
One of the live versions of warrior was so good and powerful especially when she dances
I first heard 'half the world away' when I saw that one christmas ad and that with the music hit so hard that it made me cry
Auroras music helped me through moments of depression, art block and so much more. I love her aethereal sound, she's my favorite musician and I love seeing other people recognize how great her music is.
You have to see her live though! Murder song, through the eyes of a child, and infections of a different kind are so good live
DAY TWELVE OF ASKING FOR A REACTION TO NCT
Who is NCT?
NCT is a 23 member k-pop group that is divided into 4 separate sub-units. Each subunit has something different about them. Every few years they do come together and release a song consisting of all members. In the past, it's either been a mashup of songs or a dance track with only a few lines from a few members.
NCT 127 is a 10 members sub-unit that primarily promotes in Seoul, South Korea; hence the '127' is the longitude of the city. They are known for their experimental sound in music and having their once sense of uniqueness in every release
NCT Dream is a group consisting of all the youngest members. They debuted with a very youthful image, but have matured more in their content. A lot of the fans favor this group over their sound of music.
NCT U is a rotational sub-unit that switches between members per comeback (song release) depending on who fits the concept best. They only release singles due to the rotating.
WAYV is the Chinese-based sub-unit that promotes primarily in China, of course. The name change is due to legal reasons between China and Korea (I think- don't ask me tbh) I personally think this group has a very futuristic sound throughout their songs. It's very present in songs like Turn Back Time and Bad Alive.
SONGS RECOMMENDATIONS
NCT 127: Sticker, 2021 (highly recommend) Simon Says, 2018 Cherry Bomb, 2017
NCT Dream: We Go Up, 2018 Deja Vu, 2020 My First and Last, 2017
NCT U: Make a Wish, 2020 7th Sense, 2016 Misfit, 2020
WAYV: Action Figure, 2021 Turn Back Time, 2020 Bad Alive, 2020
FULL GROUP SONGS
2018: Black On Black
2020: Resonance
2021: Beautiful
I chose songs that personally think have unique sounds and think will make a good video. If anyone has any other recommendations, please, I would love to hear feedback.
MAT THANK YOU IVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO LISTEN TO HER FOR SO LONG!!
Omg running with the wolves bring me back to my wolf blood days
Man, you've gotta do a part 2, and if you do, I highly recommend Heathens, it's one of her newer songs, and Helvegen, for something completely different.
Im glad someone could put my love and admiration for Aurora into words. Loved watching someone feel all the same emotions i had hearing these songs for the first time
If you want to listen to Aurora again I would also recommend one of her few Norwegian songs that she made called "Stjernestøv" which was made for a Norwegian advent calendar show (which we have yearly, meaning we make a new show for every December that slowly unravels as a calendar would and finishes on Christmas day
Great reaction brother. I love your energy. Cheers my friend
I cried when I heard running with the wolfs the nostalgia I get from Wolfblood geez
YESSS I love aurora :D if you’re ever doing another video on her I definitely recommend blood in the wine and this could be a dream from her new album; they’re absolute bangers
Amazing reaction! 🥰
I recommand: "Murder Song(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)"
"It happened quite"
"Through the eyes of a child"
HIGHLY recommend watching a live performance of hers... literally any, she is insanely good live!
Oh to be able to go back a few years to when I first listened to each song and the feelings of discovery they evoked in me being so new to me. My friends told me about her music and I started out with 'the seed' which is quite a powerful song and I fell in love with the music almost immediately. And what a time for Mathew to start listening, just as the new album dropped, giving us even more variation and new song styles. Every single song is brilliant and refreshing/distinct whilst also having songs like 'a different kind of human' and 'mothership' being similar and even overlapping their audio in some places to tell her stories from each album. She creates these worlds of both calm and safety but intense power and naïvety of sticking to the status quo.
Anyways, some cool facts. 'Half the world away' was for the John Lewis Christmas advert about the man on the moon. Such an iconic thing to be able to do as the John Lewis adverts were practically a Christmas tradition lol. She also sang a haunting cover of 'nature boy' for one of the Alien movies. 'Running with the wolves' got a second version made to better fit the film Wolfwalkers. She sang as the mystery voice in Frozen 2. So she really does have a lot under her belt. When Mathew said he felt like chanting the lyrics to 'warrior' with a bunch of other people I couldn't help but laugh because that's exactly what happens at an AURORA concert when she sings that song. Everyone sings along and those fists go in the air during the chorus, every song is just as excellent in live form as well because she really is that great at singing. Certain songs are slightly different when sung live to better fit the concert narrative, cause even her concerts tell stories. Got my second concert seeing her in less than a month and I am so hyped
This was a great and sincere reaction to the talent of Aurora. I'd love to see your reaction to her singing 'It Happened Quiet' live at The Current. It's one of the best performances I've ever seen from anybody and always gives me the chills. I think you'd really like it.
You MUST check out the Seed and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Murder, and eyes of a child.
Welcome to a better world better late then never stay safe.
This girl SHINES live. Honestly, any live performance will blow you away
SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN. I get to her concert in the USA! (Her live singing is fantastic) Overdue reaction to such an idol, but I think I want you to see her most powerful songs!!☆
My suggestions:
'It Happened Quiet' (acoustic version or normal)
'Murder Song' (Nobel Peace Prize 2015 Live)
'Churchyard' (Original)
'The Seed' (Music video - my personal favorite)
'Athena' (the lyric video)
'Exhale, Inhale' (lyric video)
I think these are interesting in lyrics, composition and in their power!☆
Mann!! I love your reactions!! If possible can you please react to the ‘36 questions’ songs? It’s a musical podcast
Running with the wolves is used in a gorgeous film called wolfwalkers, that was my introduction to her
THIS WAS GOOD IM LATE BUT AHH, saving this to my Aurora reactions hehe!!
i would LOVE to see another reaction to her- i have yet to hear anything from her i don't love
that first song was a cover, and then you jumped ahead from her older original songs ie. Warrior, all the way to stuff from the newest album, Cure for Me, and THEN you went back to 2015 (Runaway.) So you definitely got a bit of super-change-of-sound whiplash, lol. BTW, Billie Eilish saw the video for Runaway when she was like 12 and said in an interview it was part of her inspiration to do music herself.
Oooh! So glad to see someone new get introduced to the wonderful and amazingly talented Aurora!
Aurora is the #1 artistic phenomenon that I've come across in my 42 years, and I doubt anyone more spectacular will show up anytime soon. I would suggest Lucky & Through the Eyes of a Child (Nidarosdomen concert), Queendom (Loustic or Paste Studio sessions), Heathens (Live - Vevo).
omggg, in case you react to more songs by aurora, i completely recommend “animal”, it was the first song of hers that i heard and,,, 10/10.
For next Aurora songs definitely don't miss out on Murder song (especially good live) and my personal favorite- It happened quiet (live in nidarosdomen (? Not sure if it is spelled this way)) both are very emotional so if you want more happy then there is Exist for love and Conqueror
I love your reactions and the way you edit your videos, you just gravitate fun vibes!
Correct spelling😊🇧🇻
YES ive been waiting for this one, i love aurora so much
