I've always wondered why doesn't go for super fame. I think he does the right thing by thinking of family life first. Going for quality is much better.
Never a wife but mother of two of his kids and it wasn't 2 months but a year and 7 months after winning his first Idol contest and a full year after winning World Idol, is when he and Kristine Jacobsen broke up. They were together for 11 years.
I just realised from hearing the opening lines that no matter the urge to go abroad seeing all the greatness of the various places of the earth, there's just no place like home.
The most important thing he says before he start to sing is that he has written the hole album by himself (important info to the ones who thinks he sings only cover songs) :p
"Its a fucking shame is isnt big to the rest of the world"
Why do you care about that? Do you really need the approval of everyone else to know what you and I already know that he's one of the most talented male singers in the world when it comes to vocal capabilities, live performances and text writing skills? I don't want to share him with every John and Jane! lol
Hurt has his head on straight. He could go tour the world but limits himself so he can spend time with his family. I respect the guy, hope he sings for a lot of years to come and wish him a long and happy life.
I agree with you! i just love this guy i was in Oslo in 9/5 and saw his consert, and it was awsome, he is the best singer i haver ever known in my life, I LOVE Kurt Nilsen!!!! Come to Sweden and let us know about your talent and your beutiful voice please!!! We won`t let you down...
yeh, thats obvious, but it is not common to play with the strings upside down. Left handed guitarists usually use strigns like EADGBe and not the other way around
well, if you were used to deal with guitars you would have noticed that hendrix plays just like i said earlier, (and as you said too). the thing is, kurt just did't changed the way the strings normally are. we picked the guitar and started to play upside down. i've already tryed that and it turned to be easyer than i thought =P
I love this song. It's so soothing to me. I voted for him to win world idol as well. I also just bought his cd "Part of Me" and I look forward to playing it in my car wherever I go. Kurt, you are an inspiration to all.
I am an American - I voted for him to win World Idol. I still think he is the best singer! I want to get some CDS of his! Any suggestions? Keep singing, Kurt!
He has 2 solo albums on the market - "I" and "A Part of Me". They are quite different in style (or I think so). Both are available through amazon. In June of this year he and three other Norwegian singer/songwriters released a Live album - "Hallelujah Live" This has only been released in Norway, unfortunately, but you could try "zailor" He also has a pre Idol CD with the group he sang with Fenrik Lane, called "Come Down Here"
That man makes me shiver (because of his music) :D Keep it up Kurt! Fortsätt med vad du gör för det är sjukt bra. Hälsningar från Göteborgi Sverige =)
one of the proudest moments in my life must be when Kurt won world idol... This i a nice song, but nothing compares to 'Never Easy'! Norway represent!
Saw him live yesterday... He's got talent, for sure.

Well spotted m8. I bet MagnusFromNorway feels rather foolish now. LMFAO.
It always pays to do your research before opening your mouth and making yourself look very silly.
Go Kurt go. Magical stuff.

Well.
Maybe he has just put on the strings the other way just like Hendrix did with his right hand strat!
It's so obvious, just think for a moment.
