Kurt Nilsen - Idol-audition

[Soccertz1]

@anarbk21 I was thinking the same thing. He could be an amazing country singer.

[lehaiviet]

240p we meet again

[wusnoOk1991]

very clever judges.

[7h1ngm4n]

He was actually kinda mediocure in this when you compare it to his verse in Hallelujah

[leos147]

There's a reason they skip the T at the end when singing... IT SOUNDS BETTER. Norwegians and they're sick obsession with grammar. pfff

[majotnf]

damn, that was close

[strongsock]

Wait what? Pearl jam is pop rock??

[monchazote]

fuck yeah

[ltlrenati]

Douche bags.

[SlimJimwtf]

"du aer ingen pop-idol" jävla idioter

[CoDisafishy]

Pop?... -_- Pop doesn't take half as much talent as this guy has

[SeBBe3111]

is it possible to get this song downloaded some how??

[wind2dk]

What they actually mean is that he doesn't look like someone they can manipulate how they want...

[jorgenmac]

He says Dave Matthews Band and the subtitle says Matchstick Man. Great.

[denisplesa]

recording potatoe... we meet again.

[basurka94able]

inclined to send him further?! he has a fabulous voice and that bitch is just "inclined" to send him on. What the hell is that kind of nonsense

[Koaloism]

Fuck these haters judging on people look

[ennylekalb]

No way is he better than Kelly Clarkson!

[Anderssonlizzm]

@ennylekalb 403204230 years later and you still cant accept that you got your ass kicked, beat it dumbass

[Shoumaniac]

@ennylekalb Well, he IS. Look it up.

[foo614]

[magixtwister]

@foo614 sounds German or Norwegian

[AlmightyFade]

@foo614 Norwegian.

[TheLegendof2009]

@foo614 Norwegian 

[U0Suck0Downs]

@foo614 the best language!

[Kainosielu]

He's not ugly, he's cute!

[Z0diiaaC]

Did u record this with a calculator?

[KorkEmeriss]

[SuperScorb]

[TheSoloGuy1]

@SuperScorb Norwegian....

[MrRandomFraps]

It's Motorpsycho, not Motor Cycle.

[taekwondo1337]

no way in hell the judges can sing well..

[Reneg53]

@taekwondo1337 urm, whats your point?

[lennybiaatch]

@Reneg53 isn't it clear?

[4thel0ve]

@lennybiaatch maybe not to reneg, but it was clear to me! :p

(Agree with you)...

[anarbk21]

wow!! he should go for country music.. suits him best!!

[jimmider2]

God... that downs kid sure can carry a tune....

[thomas0504]

@jimmider2 HAHAHA!

[zebrabarn]

I like the jury cause they look like "normal" people, now show offs.

[MrVeninn]

stupid idiots!!

[MultiBoris14]

thumbs up if you like that "yoo" at 2:10

[barhab]

But damn these judges play "hard to get" ! haha it's ridiculous. These talent shows rarely have ANY TALENT WHATSOEVER.

[barhab]

Kurt doesn't look like a 12 year old girl, so he shouldn't go through. Ok Ole ...

[barhab]

The guy who said that Kurt shouldn't go through is apparently some "Ole Evenrud"? A guy who has worked with A-Teens and danish pop duo Creamy. Why is he even on this show? haha

[chrisxcapone1]

not sure whats the most funny... the fact that his lyrics sound like broken english or the fact that his lyrics sound like broken english and most mainstream radio rock songs at the same time

LOL

[Chesterfever]

@chrisxcapone1 ahh yeah, thats so funny! not.

[lashlashlashlashlash]

Dat sweater.

[uberrawesomee]

LOLOL He pronounced the words with "t" at the end the same way any primarily English speaking person would say it.

[Hunlover123601]

I get shivers all over my body when I hear his voice, it's awesome!!!

[coyote7272]

I would have chosen a different song for him, incredible voice

[garciaianpaolo]

judges sucks



[Secondbloodbrother]

i don't understand these guys

in my opinion he has an incredible voice and they act in such a cold way without any emotions.

And he doesn't need any chances he sings probably ten times as good as all of them together.

[chubbypescatarian]

why are they trying to change his voice its nice the way it is

[exklusif7]

I really hope the judge's is shamed, by their rediculas performes. They barely lettet him true but he won the world idol..

[brownfingerr]

Best singer in the world!

[SonyPlaystationNL]

this is audition like a boss!

[simen931]

Håper de dommerne skammer seg idag!

[gilmore103]

I haven't noticed any missing T's in his singing... Whatever...

[TheDigitalvlogger]

It should be about who sings well and does a great performance, Not about apearance. fuck sake.

[poliiipo]

If i would get 1 dollar for every pixel in this video, i would have 1 dollar....

[hallo1HOJT5]

@poliiipo original..

[kipdevoh]

@poliiipo stfu your fucking like-hunter....

[CoDisafishy]

@poliiipo I wish I could thumbs down your comment right now :)

[Scandinavian89]

@poliiipo if i would get a dollar for every time i c the same dollar pixel comment i would be a fucking billionaire by now.

[americaneagle791]

@poliiipo Actually, no. You would have 76,800 dollars. ...Maybe you could use some of that money to get a better education.

[lucarox123]

@americaneagle791 You obviously don't get the joke do you?

[americaneagle791]

@lucarox123 Yes, haha. It's hilarious. It's not funny at all.

[lucarox123]

@americaneagle791 I never said it's suppose to be funny, it's still considered a sarcastic joke.

[americaneagle791]

@lucarox123 Nifty...

[theladykt]

Teach ya to never judge a book by its cover. Nice voice

[Elajtenfor]

Fuck I hate these kind of judges....

[911robban]

[mklvonbiatch]

240p we meet agian



[mathiasvandenbergh1]

@littlemontev no you are retarded he was speaking bout judges...

[TheJcexpress]

so they shouldn't be talking.

[Rhunon666]

@TheJcexpress they can sing -.-

[lawerancerivera]

He wasnt missing t's in his english? dumb judges.

[Taylormade169]

@lawerancerivera Listen to when he sang regret, he sang regree

[Tesseract1976]

Just goes to show you could use monkeys for judges and they would do better.

[TheAniawin]

[GenyaArikado]

[Debbie321lopez]

Topcommentception D:

[learntodrivenow]

[XjonteeX]

These judges is a joke !

If Kurt with his amazing voice and personality almost cant go through to the final rounds then who can ???

And they didnt thought he was a pop idol...... well look who won the whole Idol !

Owned ;)

[ilightbite]

Forged lef regred not really a big deal LOL

[MrGrienko]

HAH! jokes on judges, no one gives a shit about who they are, KURT is the star here.

[Fiddez12]

Matchstick men! WFT?

/Dave Matthews Band. :)

[brillefint1]

That they almost did'nt let him through because he did'nt LOOK like a pop idol. And then he won World Idol. IN YOUR FACES.

[MrHansi301]

I gues its 2002 idol. I know that guy. We live in same city. Bergen.

[EastFrigginJabip]

yes u nazis, this is called singing, thts wat the show is for, yet u didnt pick this guy, so one question nazis, U MAD BRO?????? (im not racist, im german myself)

[eywazzuplol]

@EastFrigginJabip It interests me, how would calling someone a nazi make you a racist?

[Leowen2]

Was this guy an unknown before his countries Idol program and what year was this.

[muhald715]

I´m not gay, but I almost melted when he started singing..

Go fuck your self retarded judges! you don´t even know anything about true talent!

[jellybeanthorazine]

"You can sing beautifully, but we're actually looking for someone who can't..."

[lyppan]

240p we meet again

[Hokitt]

Skandinaviens bäste sångare just nu.

[pinkandbluecow]

i remember when i watched this on tv.

and holy shit... im proud of being norwegian.

And yeah.. RETARDED JUDGES. they are alot better now!

[xMLGx21]

DAMN !!!!! NICE VOICE!!!!!

[TheRockingChar]

Fucking retarded Judges lol :LL

[jeffrety1]

I love how everything kurt nilsen is 240p yet its still amazing thumbs up if you agree

[mollan95]

Älskar hans röst!

[008cook]

lol did they film this with a ancient lenze or something.

[Kikora21]

Kurt Kilsen is one of the BEST singers that I have ever heard... That said... This song doesn't do him justice. His voice sounds rough around the edges, and the melody seems just a little bit lacking without musical accompaniment. Also it is a bad idea to audition with an original song because no one is familiar with what it sounds like, so the dips and twists just sound off. Still he has an awesome talent, and it is amazing to see how far he has come.

[Ichibaz]

They totally judges him by his looks when they said he wasn't a "pop idol"

[pumukellll]

hes an awesome singer, but i ddnt like this...



[candyrn16141]

I should say, Danish is the second closest to old English, obviously, English is the closest.

[candyrn16141]

I agree his American/English is perfect. Look, Danish is probably the closest language to old English; Norwegian probably the second.

[damian8868]

it would be evn better with music ;3

[rockiejohnnykrismaar]

I'm American. We don't pronounce the "T" at the end of words either. His English is perfect~ Idiot Judges

[ilikechiken2]

@rockiejohnnykrismaar speak for yourself, most americans that speak correctly pronounce the t sound at the end of a word. we say forget, not forge

[rockiejohnnykrismaar]

@ilikechiken2 It's more like a 'd' sound. I seriously doubt that you say forgeT abouT iT. You probably say "forged aboud id". And that's real. Jamaican Americans enunciate "T's". Are you Carribean? Probably not. So you don't pronounce T's either. Bye ;-P

[ThePixelFaerie]

Idiotic judges... plain and simple.

[pimpss88]

He speak english better than many of my american bretheren

[lachlanSB]

are the judges trying to kill him with there stare?

[marceloflix]

Fucking Judges!!! and now!!!?? whos the best singer ;)

[ShuvitRewind]

Sykt fail av dommerne, sender han så vidt videre, så endte det med at han vant world idol og han er nå et pop idol :P

[SheBPadfoot]

What were those judges saying? He sings like an angel!!!! The embarrassment is on them because he won!

[jhlucky1]

Those "judges" should be released from duty. They are obviously unspectacular.

Sad...

[jhlucky1]

Haha!!! All the judges look like fools...1 million records sold...lol

[vaughanalderson]

How embarrassing to be the judge that didn't even want him to get past the first round... he should get a new job. Maybe a janitor?

[scheisskind69]

wow the jury sucks dick

[philipbm99]

did you film this with a potato?

[mindcux]

This clearly show how unprofessional the norweigan idol jury is, saying they cant see him as a pop idol, anyone can figure out anything can be hyped when it comes to looks e.t.c. as long as your skilled and have luck.

[FucklyDuckly]

haha, funny how that hag bitch about his english.

[codelyokoist]

Actually I couldn't understand shit he said so stfu

[thementalmuse]

his english was perfect..................wth?

[nowy5]

przeszedł, ale bez szału

[MrMoritzmunch]

lol, wtf Judges? they fail so hard! :D

[krollaostmedburger]

Nilsen, kurt Nilsen

[Henrib0409]

Retarded judges!

[codelyokoist]

Kelly Clarkson is better Idc wat anyone else says

[crushni]

@codelyokoist kelly clarkson is the perfect example of the american way, ignorant. Nilsen is ofc alot better

[Bookygamey]

Are these judges retarded? Who hired them??

[littlemontev]

@Bookygamey lol your obviously retarded have you ever seen him perform? check out hallelujah cover by him

[majdnem2]

Theese JUDGES are RETARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!! they can say only good comments on that !

[Henrik1516]

DRITI PÅ LEGGEN

[grambonjovi]

@zerztogkill Nesten like ille som når folk fornorske bøyinga av et adjektiv på engelsk og bruker det i en setning.

[zerztogkill]

ka faen??? pop idol er lameste navnet i verden!!!

[Omgimacow]

At this audition he sounds pretty much like Kurt Cobain. :)

[loladinn12]

lols.. 0:24 Do you sing alot? (Norwegian) Hell yeah xd atleast it sounded like that

[27POP27]

ironisk

[OzSpud72]

honestly .. judges are retarded .. ..

[patriota54]

@OzSpud72 no ..the judges are right...some people should stay with their bands instead to be...public servant..who have the desire to be desire...like pop idols...image Eddie Vedder, or Maynard James Keenan without their bands....they would not be the same as they are today

[patriota54]

@OzSpud72 the judges are looking for something who his stupid and beautiful, just someone that can be a product;..just a public servant and Kurt is smart, that s the problem, a pop star, can t be smart..so the judges are right

[maririth]

MEDIA VOZ!! ^^

[thebluefish177]

1:28 ..... therrrrrr .......... ahhh as a singer thats 1 part was horrible

[leshkaka]

Fucking dommere. Helt utrolig.

[101YTFAN]

i love kurt so so much, but am grateful i wasn't one of the judges that night, because the song wasn't flattering to kurt's range, talent or voice. plus, our poor guy was so nervous, that i might not have seen the gift that "lay beneath" either. but, pls help me here, why did the judges keep saying they "saw him in a band?" is that music code for "ur not too good, so keep ur day job?" or maybe, " ur voice would be better hidden in a band, don't even try to go solo." seems kind of insulting....

[Petercobourg]

Damn! Can you imagine if those turkeys were having a bad day we might not have one of the best singers ever! I imagine that second guy slaps himself every time he watches this clip! And so he should!! :)

[TwistyTiesGH]

I wish she would speak english so i could correct her every mistake and tell her how she pronounces the words wrong

[Fox1991]

Dude if I was the judge my jaw would've been hanging. He was incredible. I have no idea how they managed to keep that mono attitude of theirs.

[borbies]

he has a great voice but i didnt like the song

[MrChillywilly1234]

is Oslo the Hollywood of Norway?

[12388753]

@MrChillywilly1234 Maby Washington D C

[arlovebt]

awful judges.

[adifik]

omg can these judges get layed or something at the start they are just brain dead and no smile fuck simon is better than all the judges put together

[Chopin1986]

Look at these 4 idiots... trying to judge such a talent!!

Go home and stay there. Nielsan kicks your butts!!

[o00owatt]

took me awhile to realise that theywerent speaking english...i thought it was an accent..

[mirrorreflex]

Not good enough to be a pop idol! Your kidding me what is their criteria for a pop idol? A attractive young person who sounds good only when autotuned?

[tallamazingbeautiful]

Idiot judges! You don't move on because you are more prone to being in a band? HELLO IDIOTS!!! To be the leader of the band you have to be the LEAD SINGER!!! Which means you have to be able to sing... Stupid asses! And screw off bitch lady! English is my first language and the "T" problem that you claim Kurt has is not a problem at all. It's called ENGLISH pronunciation! Learn the language before you make any other idiotic remarks! :) I love you Kurt. You're damn sexy!!

[biskut0024]

Well obviously those judges are idiots?! Its a competition for singing talent! Not whether or not you would make it as a pop star.

[Cruzito3000]

The reason these assholes judges are saying no is because they dont think he has the looks to make it. du-du--douches!

[undefinedpurpose]

The guy who said No to him just said No to the world idol...
