Thanks! It would be great to see your reaction to "Once Aurora." It's produced in conjunction with NRK ( PBS equivalent), so copyright issues should be fine. There are a couple out there already. It's a bit intense and really shows the challenges an introverted Aurora went through to become AURORA, or at least the merger of the two. Tears, panic attacks, and the battle for creative freedom on Infections of a Different Kind. Won multiple awards. Norwegian with English subtitles. Here's the admission price, no reaction required.

This concert is like a compilation of her saddest songs and at the same time soooo uplifting

25:09 I just noticed the Audience,they're all sobbing!

I was there and it was magical. Not a dry eye in the hole cathedral ❤🇳🇴😊

Throught the eyes of child... what a master piece! Half of the song is without words and still so mouving and touching... thank you for the part 2 the same day 🙂

Aurora ❤❤❤

Aurora smiling at her audience like she does is just enough to love her.

Ah, just heaven...

I’ve had the privilege of seeing Aurora live 3 times and honestly at my age of 66 I’ve seen scores of top mainstream artists here in the UK but seriously none of them moved me emotionally like Aurora,her covers are amazing but her original catalog of songs written by her from the age of 9 are astonishing,it’s hard to put into words how special an artist she is each and every song she performs is like an incredible theatrical performance she literally becomes a vessel to express what she is seeing and takes you to that very place,for me she’s the essence of what the true art of music should be all about and as a live performer I’ve no hesitation in saying she’s the best I’ve ever seen and I’m truly blessed to have her words of poetry her words of medicine in my life.❤️GENIUS

They say that her conserts can be almost like life changing.. I hope to experience that one time..

Any excuse to watch this performance again is okay with me. More so with someone who appreciates the magic that is Aurora. The perfect venue to hear an angel sing. So glad you got to experience this spectacular performance and look forward to whatever you choose next!

Masterpiece. She is always best live as she sings in the moment. I never really understood "Life on Mars" until I heard her arrangement.

And now you can look forward to the HAIK concert, which has a totally different vibe. But it is still magical 💚💚💚💚💚

If you have not seen Aurora Haik documentary, you are in for a special treat ❤️ And icing on the cake with the concert in the forrest afterwards ❤️

Her HAIK FOREST CONCERT is wonderful aswell. Look into it. ❤

I LOVE SOFT UNIVERSE THROUGH EYES OF A CHILD AND All IS SOFT INSIDE EVEEER!!!

Absolutely mind twisting moment… I´m not a religious person, but that felt like a deep spiritual experience, rather than a concert… mesmerizing… hypnotic… flawless (overall, as a musician I could pick up some minor details that prove that Aurora is only human, perhaps an improved version of us all) … a perfect imperfection… I can see why you connect with this amazing being… by the way you were so concerned about the noise on the background and the way that affected our perception of the moment that you´ve created (around that stellar performance) and provided to all of us… that shows that you care about your surroundings ( like our forest fary) and you’re not just a product of our selfish ego centered society… Allow yourself to build a soft universe, wear love in your words… Wish you all the best… Love from Portugal…

😊👍

aurora documentary nothing is eternal is good too.

Everytime I listen to her live I keep being amazed with how outstanding she is live. How’s even possible for her to sound so heavenly?? Argh, I can’t 💜💜

When I saw her live last year, literally the first second she came out on stage and sang, I cried. She performed at The History venue and sounded amazing. I can't even imagine how it sounded at Nidarosdomen. I probably would have bawled even harder.

Aurora sings with every fiber of her being. She's as magical as can be, and as close to an angel here on earth. These performances are stunning! Thank you for viewing this with us.

😅 you should listen to Aurora's live version of Leonard Cohen's "famous Blue Raincoat". It really shows her voice and story telling abilities.

The studio albums of her is insanely good produced. And this concert is no different. Her crew is amazing❤

Thanks for this reaction! Best concert ever IMO!

The cathedral authorities were initially reluctant to let this secular event take place. Thankfully for posterity, they were convinced to change their minds. It is an artistic masterpiece of the highest possibly quality in all respects, setting, staging, recording and the performances of all the artists. Congratulations Ashlena, your reaction is one of the best that I have seen.

Perfection??? you never stopped once no plundering songs on this one for the sakes of a reaction that is perfection I salute thee Lady Ash!!!!! OMG this is one of the first things I listened to and Aurora simply got me forever She is such a great company she can turn darknes into pure light Little and Sweetest Aurora with her Love and Magic we've been blessed more people should have access to this wellness holy shit she's brilliant and insanely cute!!!!!!! Amen

Aurora live is quite literally “music to the ears”, omg 💫 ❤️

Aurora made me cry a little when I last saw her live. This Christmas concert included three covers: Nature Boy (Nat King Cole), Walking In The Air (A Howard Blake song written for the animated children’s film “The Snowman”, based on the Raymond Briggs book) and Life on Mars (David Bowie). The other songs are her children. Love her and her music.

yes, amazing! love your reaction. She is performance art, she literally becomes her song/music. You are so right, there is no one like her and I am so happy that she is here in this old womans lifetime and that I got to see her perform last year. Thank you for a awesome reaction, see ya on the next one 😍

Thank you so much for your great reaction to the most beautiful concert ever🙏💖💖

This concert is perfect on so many levels, starting with Aurora, of course, but also the musicians and singers backing her, the way it was shot, the lighting, the sound mixing, the venue, everything. It's just an amazing piece of art. And what's more, it gets even better the more you watch it. It's just awe-inspiring. If this one had you tearing up throughout, KEXP Iceland 2018 (about 30 minutes) will have you with a big grin throughout. It's a different kind of perfection. Aurora at her most energetic and fun self. An absolute joy from start to finish. I hope you find time to check it out soon, as it's really something special too. It was awesome getting four (!) Aurora videos from you today, including a full concert (and it's not even Tuesday yet here). That was a lot of fun watching with you, and the background noise wasn't a big deal at all, so don't worry about it. Thanks and take care! 🤟

It would be fun for you to react to the Haik Documentary and Concert in the forest . I think you would really enjoy that. Not sure if any of your Patrons have mentioned that one, but I think you'd really like it. Aurora should do another Concert in the forest. She looks so in her element there. As for this Concert, Through the eyes of a child was one of the first things I ever heard from Aurora. I spent the next Month watching everything I could find on KZfaq. She just really sucks you in. And, Of course, after watching the interviews you see what a quirky and authentic person she is, so it makes you want to hear more. I envy the way she can just be free and not care what others think of her. If only I was that smart at her age. I'm still not as smart as she is. The world needs more Warriors of love like Aurora. We have too many of the other kind. Glad you enjoyed the Concert. I watch it at least once a Month.

Aurora makes me believe in magic. I mean, how else could you explain a rock/prog/metal guy, who hates most pop music, connect more with Aurora than with any other artist? I'm absolutely blown away every time. This concert in particular is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen. This needs to be in a time capsule or something.

The reason everyone is so quiet is because this cathedral is built on top of King Olav II's burial site. It is the been the site of the crowning ceremonies of Norwegian royalty for hundreds of years. It's a very important cathedral in terms of Norwegian history, and I think it was expected that everyone be respectful by only applauding after the songs.

Me: “I MUST get to bed early tonight. Oh shoot, it’s Tuesday…..HELL YES….4 Aurora videos. Okay, early to bed tomorrow night. 😆 THANK YOU! My favourite concert. My daughter and I watch this on repeat. Recommendation: Aurora covering The Beatles “Across the Universe” live for Like A Version. 💕

🥰 Thank you, Ashlena, for sharing your reaction to Aurora's Nidarosdomen concert from late 2017. You emote feelings and comments that are so very pleasing and enjoyable. Next, please try the KEXP for Icelandic Airwaves concert from late 2018. This the the mini-concert in a very tiny venue (hostel) with a beautiful performance and inclusion of audio playback and instrumentation to closely replicate the songs as the album tracks ... with the power of LIVE performance and dancing!! (Edit: noticed that you've reacted to two of the six songs. The other four are also excellent!!) Almost forgot. I saw Neil Young at Massey Hall back in the day (1971). 'Road trip' with friends from Louisiana. 😉

❤❤

Likely one of the most beautiful and spectacular concerts that will ever be performed. Thanks Ash for all of the Nidarosdomen...never get tired of watching this Epic performance....❤❤

A fantastic concert and with natural reverb in that venue it must have been an incredible experience watching this fairy sing ❤️ Through the eyes of a Child performance was a masterpiece IMO ❤️ Have a great day 👍

This isn't money making rap or beyonce. This is PURE

3:21 I LOVEEE SO MUCH THIS PART ❤

I would love to go to a venue like that and see Aurora! I watched her live at a small record shop, for a signing, it was quite small and intimate, wonderful and magical, but a setting like this, I would probably die xD Great Reactions Ashlena!!

Hello again, diear Ashlena ! So, first of all let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for reacting to the whole concert... and I think you havebn't regretted a single second, having had put all the effort into it, have you ? l Let me just say something anout this concert : It took place on the 2nd of November, 2017 at Nidarosdomen, which is a very special place in Norway. It is the oldest cathedral in Norway, built from arund 1070 to 1320, where every King and Queen of Norway has been crowned so far. It is, by the way, also the most northern cathedral in the entire world. Normally, there are no pop concerts, whatsoever, allowed to be played there, but for Aurorra, they made an exception, just to show her their appreciation for her artistry, so it was a REALLY great honour for her to play there. Very soon after this concert was announced, the 1200 tickets were sokl out in hours, so anyone who had the privilege to have been there, could call himself a VERY lucky person. Unfortunately, this concert remains unique until today, because she mever gave such a concert again so far. There is a concert from 2920,m live in Bergen, where she performs with the Bergen Symphony Orchestra... also very beautiful, but it doesn't reach the magic of this Nidarosdomen concert. I think we Aurora fans worldwide all hope she will do something like this again in the future... so let's cross fingers and hope. I am so curious to see what's coming next... I would suggest to react to the full documentary of HAIK from 2019, in which Aurora is taken on a journey full of surprises... and it ends with a concert in the forest, near where she lived and spent most of her childhood. You will also get some interesting insights into Aurora's private life. And you wll hear some hauntingly beautiful versions of some Aurora songs, as well. So please check out "Aurora - HAIK full documentary" (a bit more than an hour long, but definitely also worth doing a reaction to). Best wishes from Gernany : Gerry PS : And by the way... you've pronounced the name of the venue PERFECTLY ! 🙂

While listening to murder song I was thinking of how I hope she performs some sort of theatrical end to this song and lo and behold she just produced something so sublime. My admiration of her knows no bounds. Oh and the whole of the rest of the gig was just next level. When you think can she do any better? She just does every time

I highly recommend you watch these 3 other versions privately, at least 2 of them are better than the Nidarosdomen versions imo, and Through The Eyes of a Child is at least as good, watch codes only: Through the Eyes of a Child, a cappella version with incredible harmonies from Vevo UK Lift on 2016-03-10: CFzExUN1N8I Life On Mars on an NRK tv show on 2016-03-02 where she plays an old Fender Rhodes piano that sounds so atmospheric: kJ095S0MmnA Murder Song on the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert on Dec 11th: vh0SWTVwXxw

13:58 me every time I watch a live performance of her🤣💗

Love this so much ❤ Thank you again 😄

She is just amazing, and this concert is unmatched by anything I've seen! Kudos to the Norwegian Broadcast (NRK) whom produced this masterpiece! Loved your reaction to it! ❤👍 Looking forward to the next. Angelina and Aurora are our National gems! Love from Norway!

Thx for reaching to this masterpiece. Want more strings? Check this short consert from Stavanger, it is filmed by a fan on her mobile, but still fantastic! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJNmddt2sNndYI0.html

Aurora ist pure Liebe! Gruß aus Schleswig-Holstein, dem einzig wahren Norden Deutschlands.

👍😍😍❤️

four aurora videos on one tuesday! that's amazing. more AURORA! have you reacted to 'all my demons greeting me as a friend' yet? the unpublished title song to her album. .. and how could you watch this concert without tearing up?? i saw it so many times and can't.

I know this is older, but 9:45 As long as you experience it fully is all that matters.

if there's one song I would die to hear Aurora create a rendition of, it would be As the World Caves In. I feel she would bring something ethereal to an already incredible and heart wrenching song

Askjel on the piano.... if you get a chance , listen to his songs especially 'I have seen the apocalypse and I want to go home' the video version!

I did not know part 2 was instantly upload. Now I watched it also. And yes, this is very magic concert and I also would like to be there and hear and experience it live. And about Murder song: album version is my less favorite, then this version (and some variants of it) is much better for me and probably my favorite acoustic with only guitar f.e. on Nobel Prize Concert:). Ps. The background sound did not interrupt - there was only maybe 2 short parts I hear something = it was very good recording :).

I have not seen Aurora live yet either and I cannot wait to. I may have to wait awhile as I am very particular in the venue (standing in crowds has never been enjoyable for me) - will travel anywhere if I have to. This concert she did in Germany 3 years ago I think is exactly what both of us would want in the ideal world. It is in a small church with just her and her guitarist. The simplicity of it, The acoustics are amazing and the initiate setting is just PERFECT. The only video available is a fan and you can hear her sing at times but not too obnoxious. You dont have to react, but I wanted you to see it because I think as like me you will dream of seeing her in a place like this some day kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9aUY82E27rUeoU.html

Thanks for your tribute, this is the biggest church in Norway 🇳🇴

🧚

Loved your reaction, knew I would! I know others have mentioned it, but please please do HAIK. Check out the documentary leading up to the concert in the woods. You get to know her even better and the concert is pure magic. Keep it up! Can't wait for more in your Aurora journey. ❤🎉😊

Hi Ash, this concert is a work of art of absolute quality, after every page I would give the last thing to be able to be there (paradoxically, I had no idea about Aurora at the time of this concert), but when I watch YT, I listen through the speakers, quite well with a subwoofer and every time you drank and put the bottle down, it felt like a blow to the head, your microphone was probably close to the place where you put the bottle, don't take it the wrong way, I just want to say that it spoils the viewing experience , for the future

>_< lol...sometimes it seems like you're being haunted by invisible silent ghosts that we can't see or hear. Just to put your mind at east.... I've noticed in a few Aurora videos you'll mention something about intruding sounds or in one video "dust being everywhere." But unless it's a loud dog bark, I honestly don't register any of it. I think you're noticing it far more than us. It's never bothered me at least. Thx for the great content!

Just finished watching the whole thing with you. That was fun! And I gotta throw a huge compliment your way in terms of how you do the whole reaction thing. At this point, I find reaction channels that pause a lot to be unwatchable. Watching someone destroy the flow of a song, to merely say _"wow, so, like...that was, i mean...her voice is like, so good"_ is almost soul crushing lol. It's like Yes....we know dude, sheesh. Did you have to share that? What on earth did that add? Is this a _reaction_ channel or a _banal commentary_ channel? Ok...getting off my soapbox lol. I'm 100% cool with comments while the song is still playing, or after it's over. But pausing every 10 seconds...just ruins the music, which is literally a time-based contextual art form. All that to say....I appreciate the fact you don't do that! You interject as it's playing which is cool...and go into detail when it's over which is awesome. You do it right. You win all the prizes! 🥳🏆

hey ashlena, i just got into your reaction vids and they are awesome!! i very strongly recommend that you react to the cop26 concert that aurora has done, it’s like my favorite concert to listen to ever. thank you for reading!! :)

Another excellent reaction. (one suggestion - a lot of the time, we actually can't hear the background noise - but make a note of it for yourself so you can drop your mic level in the edit for that section, rather than alert us to it. It shouldn't affect the song playback. There will always be exceptions - but that will be true for a lot of minor environmental noise).

we need a live performance from madison beer reaction!!

Thank you for the reaction! You like strings? Up next: KITE live at The Royal Swedish Opera

I know you've got tons to listen to but, I highly recommend listening to First Aid Kit. Phenomenal sister duo from Sweden. My wife got me tickets to see them play on Thursday in Toronto. First time seeing them live, I'm so excited!

Great reacton video thank you. Aurora is just very special. Two of the songs from this concert I recommend that you watch in other versions also (does not need to be as videos): Murdor Song 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 her performance at the Nobel Peace Price concert: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM5ghrqFu928qKs.html&pp=ygUdYXVyb3JhIG11cmRlcnMgc29uZyA1IDQgMyAyIDE%3D Life on Mars: Her version on Norwegian television is one of my favorite covers of all time. David Bowie's song is pretty old so her choise of keybord just matches it perfectly with her amazing voice: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obBgbJiElbPRnnU.html&pp=ygUTYXVyb3JhIGxpZmUgb24gbWFycw%3D%3D In case you have not watched it, my favorite cover of all time is a cover of Simon & Garfunkles song The Sound of Silence. It is Disturbed's live version on the Conan show: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNFnhbmomK-clZs.html&pp=ygUaZGlzdHVyYmVkIHNvdW5kIG9mIHNpbGVuY2U%3D I really urge you to react to that one :)

I've heard that Murder song is about a dog and its owner who has to kill her because the dog is sick... don`t know if is true...

I know this was two months ago, and you probably got a lot of comments about this already, but I can't hear the noises in the background at all 😆💖

How to get enough of this marvelous concert? No way, right?🙂 One day, hopefully you'll react to the song which made me know this heavenly singing Lady, a live song of another norwegian band, Wardruna, who featured her then (as an impressive white-glowing - mainly backing - vocalist and her goddesslike vocals). Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (Live): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNSbh9h5tZ_VY6M.html English subtitles are avalaible, fortunately, because it's sung in Norwegian, and the last part in Old Norse I guess. Better know what they are singing about, right? No real request here, I'm sure it will happen someday, even a far one, it's worth. Anyway, thanks for caring so much about the sounds in your video, which one was really good by the way. You did a great reaction to this masterpiece, and this wonderful artist.🙂👍

Are you willing to dive into Marina's music? Her last album is 😙👌 (chef's kiss).

And Noah Cyrus - The Hardest Part lol, LOVE binge watching your videos!

..Lex.. ?? Or Ashlena? Is that Yor name? ..does not matter.. I Love Your reaction .. I Like You

You should react to Plastic Hearts by Miley Cyrus! Her BEST album by far!

Gotta check out her nothing is eternal mini documentary.and her interviews there the best lol
