  • Wow, his voice is amazing.

  • give this guy some country music to play.

  • @TheGamerMan33 Kurt has recorded a country album, "Rise To The Occasion", which included a duet, "Lost Highway" with Willie Nelson :)

  • I hate talent shows with a passion and don't know how I got here but MY GOD, what an absolutely brilliant singer. Seriously, seriously impressed.

  • best voice everrrrrrrr

  • Why do Scandinavians have such good English? 

  • @SB9101 We learn it from a early age. I first started at a age of 9 in school and I think it's ven earlier today. If you practise it on a regular basis it becomes more natural. But it's really hard for us to avoid our Scandinavian accents when we speak english, for that you would need to live in a english first language country a few years.

  • WOW. just WOW. this man has one of the best voices i have ever heard. A MAN's VOICE!!!!

  • @SDupe44 Hehe sorry.. you are wrong. Not have,

  • @SDupe44 You have wrong. Sorry but is not "little above average". He is one of best singers today. search for "Kurt nilsen live" and send me a message when you have been listening to about 15 songs and tell me if I am wrong.

  • This guy has got the perfect voice for country.

  • ÄHHHHHHHHHHH AWESOME??????

  • Great vocalist ... AND HE BOWS! Wow, when was the last time you saw a pop/rock singer bow? Almost never in America. Maybe Scandinavians are just more civilized.

  • That is the best voice since Freddie Mercury.

    End of.

  • i would love to hear some more country songs from this guy his voice is amazing....but braces please im not a shallow person but that just makes me cringe a bit

  • @max918358201 try looking for Rise To The Occasion, Country Music, Don't Have What It Takes - all from his 4th solo album, which was country based.

  • @max918358201

    I find it so funny how people like Anna Paquin (True Blood) and Madonna are praised for not fixing their gaps, while Kurt Nilsen is always critizied for it. I love Kurt, I would hate it if he "fixed" his gap just to please this shallow world.

  • My grandfather was Danish and my grandmother was Swedish, his accent is ten times better than Hank Williams, Jr. The racist...

  • He has a strong country twang to his voice... i'm not the only one who hears that, right? lol

  • @ThePixelFaerie He has made a country cd, so. I think he knows himself ;)

  • I heard Kurt said this was the performance he was most unhappy with in his whole Idol career... so ya :)

  • He sounds like a country singer... Not that that's a bad thing or anything, just saying.

  • What an amazing tennor voice. This kid has so much talent. 

  • @holdemstacy Hehehehe... Kid at a age of 32??

  • @ollo1982 Thanks for your correction.  You are doing a fine job their internet police. I'll try harder to be better informed before posting such a strong statement. LOL! Get a life!

  • @ollo1982

    That was in 2003, he was 25 and had a childlike face.

  • @123milkamilka

    and I like him very much

  • @123milkamilka Ye ye ye... 25?? still not a kid tho :P

  • Elton's voice has more power, more emotion, and it fits better with this song. Kurt's talented, but he's not an angel. his voice is too country.

  • amazing voice, this is what this shows are about

  • In my eye, he is handsome and nice and is so cute when he is smiling. Since I heard him ten days ago, I listen in him every day many time and I'm so happy about it.

    Sorry for my english.

  • he has a similar tone to Crash Test Dummies front man!!! I'd love to hear him sing the mmm mmm mmm song!!!

  • Heja Norge!!

  • my heart goes to all the families, think its up to 92 dead now, it keeps going up

  • love this guy :)

  • PERFEITO!

  • He's hard to look at but he sounds amazing lol

  • He did this song justice. Completely.

  • Nice  voice

  • I love his look, it's special in the good way

  • fuk yes............

  • he sings like a cowboy hhahahaha and hes from norway

  • i'm from uk, and I can't name an idol or x factor winner..but i've been a fan of this guy for years. he's reached somebody from another country purely because of his talent, with no marketing whatsoever

  • @ssjbardok

    I know what you mean,This guys Musical talent is unspoken. goosebumbs everytime he opens his mouth :D, Greetz The Netherlands

  • Omg...I agree with @sinnisterone.....All everyone notices are his teeth...I should know I noticed them right away....can't judge a book by its cover people.....You never know what lies beneath the cover

  • Das ist die Beste Omage die ich jemals von diesem Lied gehört habe. Elton John wäre extrem Stolz auf die Version, da sie alle enthält was er verkörpert. Die sollte man Elton mal mailen. PS: hat jemad die E_Mail Adressse von Elton???.

    Danke und weiter so..........

  • Tribute to Osam Bin Laden

    "Sandle in the bin"

  • @shanem365 Sandle in the bin HAHA LOOOOOL

  • Twenty people are either deaf or jealous.

  • I think his gap between teeth makes him unique and as long as he doesn´t mind it, why should we?

  • Agreed. Go with talent. I dont think any country has yet produced a person with such an awesome voice as this mans

  • at the end of the day its not all about looks. he has amazing talent and thats what matters. besides its not like he is ugly infact i dont think he is that bad

  • Cmon people this guy isn't even ugly he just has a gap in his teeth... There wouldn't even be this discussion if that wasnt there. He's wonderful!

  • At the end of the day music is about stimulating your hearing ... People who base music on looks are frankly ignorant and imcompetent. This is music.

  • This guy isn't so ugly tbh i've seen worse, also music is about sound not looks. Besides this guy is a pussy magnet with his voice look at 1:14

  • i thik him treadmill like that made it better

  • I heard this guy was a plumber!!!!!!!! Wow . What talent!!!

  • actually if he fixed his gaped teeth, he would be pretty handsome.

  • @Selina4061 by the way: take a look at morten harket and even roxette... they both got gaped teeht too - looks it's more normal in skandinavian :-)

  • @bumsahr

    im just saying that if he fixed his gaped tooth, it would be a bonus. get it?

  • @bumsahr Normal for scandinavian people, haham.. Take a look at the country lovers from AMERICA.

  • Haters gonna hate

    awesome song!<3

  • A singer has to sing properly and a model has to be handsome.....that's it

    Aretha Franklin is fat, Nina Simone was ugly, Freddie Mercury had horse teeth.....and nobody gives a shit. Tell me why Ray Charles should need his eyes to make us shake with emotion!

  • Jesus. He sounds like a country star.

    Which...isn't really a good thing. Maybe that works for Norwegian folk, though.

  • @Suitecake And yet AMERICA is in the lead with Country Stars and lovers :P

  • His performance and that of Craig David are the best! after Elton ofcours :)

  • I'd marry him I think he is SO cute, I don't know why anyone else would think otherwise :/

  • He sounds like Elton but I didn't like the first soprano thing he did at 00:36

  • You know, for English being this man's second language he sure does own this song. Don't get me wrong, Elton John is an amazing performer but this guy did Elton some justice. Beautiful voice and an example of "true" talent. Kuddos from the US of A =)

  • Whoever thinks he's ugly most likely listens to lady faga.

  • What a voice! amazing vocals :-)

  • He is the best

  • Well, thank God for Youtube..I would have never listened smth so amazing like this if it weren't for it

  • Man his tone of his voice is to die for! so amazing!

  • Is it me or does he sound alittle like Elton? only abit darker voice.

  • @SexiiDorf Yes. I think he actually sounds better than Elton on places. Elton is a Bloody genius when it comes to writing and playing Piano, but he has a tendency to write music even he has a hard time hitting.

    I like this guy.

  • charmed eyes

  • Voted TOP World Idol from around the world,..!!! He beat out Kelly Clarkston the USA, And also other Idol winners from 10 other countries. He is the greatest Idol to date, and I am talking 2010,,!!! Go Kurt..!!

  • some video's he's bad, but i think it's the people recording them, he's good in this one!!!!

  • Kurt Kicks any "American Idols" butt! (PS...I'm American ;) LOL )

  • My goodness! Why don't I know him? What a tremendous voice!

  • I was brought here by the roosterteeth drunk tank podcast, Thanks rt I love this dudes voice

  • Kurt Nilsen is just superb 

  • hhaha his teeth! but his voice makes up for that

  • Wow, how dare they hide this guy from us Australians, lol.  What gorgeous voice!

  • think he's better than oryginal

  • better than Elton John !!!!

  • @1nocook you are on crack.. he's good but this version is NOT better than Elton's.

  • @john40047 yeh i agree it isn't as good as elton johns, but this guy is a better singer all round, in my opinion, peace.

  • @john40047 i'm not on crack !!! i have ears !!!

  • john I think you are on crack... it's not about the version... i like Elton... but Elton's voice does not compare to this guy... It's 2011 now and I haven't heard a better voice ever.....

  • @john40047 sorry but I disagree. Elton is a brilliant singer and writer. In nearly EVERY original well-written song, it is the original singer that is the best by far, ESPECIALLY when it comes to very experienced artists such as Elton. But Kurt is very much the exception to the rule. I have never heard a voice like his before. EVER! Kurt truly is one of a kind in his talent for singing!

  • OMG..the best ever....after EJ of course!!!! KURT,,,,our future Queen would have loved you!!!!!!

  • OMG..the best ever....sfter EJ of course!!!! KURT,,,,our future Queen would have loved you!!!!!!

  • Absolutely amazing voice . . . he truly can sing any type of song and does a beautiful job yet his own style shines through.

  • This guy has the perfect voice for country music, IMHO. But NOrway isn't the right country for that.

  • @Goldberry2007 Kurt's 4th solo album was country based, "Rise to the Occasion" It has a duet with Willie Nelson on. It is his 2nd most sold album I believe.

  • what a legend love him so much wish he would come to aus

  • 34-38 secs pure genious what he does with it so different

  • Annoying voice. Sounds like he needs a lozenge.

  • @plaidzinc are you tone deaf????.......his voice is intense

  • everything is perfect except his 2 front separated teeth, love him though....

  • i actually think hes verry attractive in some ways, his eyes are lovely n he has an amazing voice

  • @xxHollyxxPandaxx kinda sexy actually, isn't he?!

  • kurt would give a roundhouse-kick in justin bibers face with his voice!

  • a gift !!

  • awesome voice

  • he sounds like the guy from crash test dummies

  • @oitotheworld23 yeah ive been thinkingthat too lol be cool if he did a few covers from them

  • he is fantastic!

  • fyyy fan for en stemme!

  • his voice is so amazing

  • :)=

  • @shishajzone  LOL

  • He missed the octave at 0:35, he had to bail himself out of this mistake fast so he had to almost shout the sylabes of next word and slowly get back to in the right melody, he knew that trying to get fast back to right melody = fail. Even tho he missed it, the thing he was able to change the mistake into 'feature', shows he's good in what he does. Interesting voice as well.

  • Fantastic

  • It is a sad song. Why is he smiling?

  • @morgand536

    Because the audience set the mood for him, I'm sure

  • Really smart this man. He is great.

  • America's main mistake was for many times picking the person with the best looks for marketing, not always the best talent. Obviously Norway was smarter and went with the amazing talent this guy has.

  • @sinnisterone uh tell that to ruben studdard over clay aiken

  • @sinnisterone They actually almost denied him from his audition for his looks. Was pretty pathetic

  • @sinnisterone I agree...We let Daughtry go way too soon off of the show. Turns out, he is one of the best talents to have come out of the show! We often get that wrong over here on this side of the pond lol!

  • @sinnisterone not at first, they werent gonna let him through because he didnt look like a star...

  • @sinnisterone i think they got it right when they chose ruben studdard though.

  • @sinnisterone see even more smarter since we live in a world that is exactly like that money > everything else .

    as long as the rules wont change and we live in a society were money and costs are always more important if not the even the only factor that mathers , we wont ever get the best of everything , or make the right choices for the problems. Cause lets face it , whats the best financially is usually not what is the best for people in general and society , they are imcompatible...

  • @sinnisterone what you saying he's ugly!? way to judge someone on their looks -_-

  • fantastic

  • A wonderful song, sang by a wonderful artist!

  • Kurt tiene una voz increible y un estilo que propio que pocos poseen.

  • amazing!!!! and just so ya know you have a very cute smile! :)

  • When you question life, listen to Kurt's music. We are blessed by his talent. Life seems better after listening to him sing.

  • Dont understand why people complain about his looks... ok he might not be a super model but he look normal in my eyes and thats not ugly, like alot say

  • @Raidern92 And he has a cute smile. =) Only his teeth aren't pretty, but further he looks quite cute. :)

  • Amazing... i got chills omg... better version tho.

  • this is an amazing person with amazing voice.........i love this guy....regards from philippines.......

  • He's really good and can sing alot of different styles... he looks like shit but his voice is a golden one !

  • @gitarische Can we say Mick Jagger?? Or maybe Stephen Tyler? How about Elton John! I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  • wow, i love the version:>

  • ur the best!!!!!!!!! great voice...

  • wish i was the gap between his teeth...

  • @nwijesinghe lol

  • @nwijesinghe haha u just made my day! lol

  • absolutely incredible. as much as i dislike the 'idol' programs, this time they have absolutely struck gold, without them, Kurt may have never seen the light of day. sadly de to the image driven teen pop culture, he will never get the recognition he truly deserves. he is stunning, he should be a massive star.

  • If there is anyone left who still wonders if this guy can sing, listen to Lost Highway. I just heard him for the first time this week, and I'm hooked. He's amazing.

  • world idol for gap in his teeth for sure..

  • 2/5 :S

  • I would say Kurt has the best midrange vocals I've ever heard along with Willie Nelson. Crisp, clear, powerful.

  • He is such a sweetie pie!! Wish he'd come to the U.S. :)

  • he's got a beautiful voice he sounds irish sometimes in his voice

  • he deserved the world idol title... so agree....a no brianer actually...

  • yes he is a star with a star voice. darling personality. full command of the stage too. I can see why he won. I will be buting his music. I wish he would come to america.

  • Seen him live 3 times. Sings like an angel!

  • i thought only Elton John could only sing this song brilliantly ... i was SO WRONG !! . he's frigging fantastic !!!

  • remings me sometimes of garth brooks style of singing!! all in all i love it

  • Realmente maravilloso!!!

  • he is so cute and i love his voice! im proud to be norwegian <3

  • @Heavymetalpunker92x You have every right to be proud. The best male voice is from Norway and it belongs to Kurt Nilsen. He recorded with Willie Nelson just up the hill from where I live, and I didn't even know it till he was gone. Wish he would come back and perform in the USA again.

  • wooww!!!!..i just type 'world idol'..and start listening to him!!!..this is damn gooooooood!!!!...come to malaysia!!!!...the best from male...meet jaclyn victor, our own malaysian idol!!!!!!..shes got powerful superb voice!!!..the best in asia!!!...u guys should check on her vid "jac awesome performance part 1&2'..u will be amazed by her as i was amazed by kurt's voice!!!..this is really good..

  • supergood love his voice

  • Norwegians rock! Kurt is just awesome- what a talent

  • He is a really good singer, but that's the wrong song. it is a requiem. really, it is kind of strange listening to that cries and applause. Strange.

  • What a voice ;o) I wish I had a voice like that.

  • Yep...the WORLD IDOL 2004...

  • he has an amazing voice, really big talent, people in norway should be proud of him!=)

  • We are;)

  • fantastic... and did he win ??

  • @ComedyHannover Hell Yeah he di1d =)

  • WOW !!!

    THANX @ChibiCath
