[TheLast479]

I'am not christian,but I can't believe it her voice is so beatiful .

[KingOfErehwon]

Sissel is the reason for global warming.

[joseccna]

The most Beautiful, Pure and Soberb voice ever exist and will do. No one in this world can resist his magical and unique way of singing. For this and all her songs, Sissel is the Voice ot the Universe.

[simonsbud]

gosh how pure and clear

[jolouw16]

While there is no doubt she is one of the most talented women on earth, I am having trouble deciding whether I prefer this version to Hayley Westenras version. I am leaning toward Hayley, but this is for sure angelic.

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

never ever heard a better version, wow

shes sexy too

[utalkshite]

listening again, puts me in a mellow mood before i go to bed.

[MrFrankManfred]

Eine so tolle Stimme ist selten zu hören !

[transformer431]

i fell myself in paradise



[115FLAVIA]

Boa Noite!

[115FLAVIA]

Voz e Música Linda!!! Uma Noite Abençoada! A Todos os Amigos.

[alicewater2003]

Yeah, by the time Jackie is an adult, she's going to be 1,000 time better then this bitch. The only thing she has over Jackie is years.

[Qaoz]

@alicewater2003 My my, using the big words, are we?

[davidandhaylee2]

wow, she just totally OWNS jackie evencho....makes JE look tallentless lol

[BlacoreV]

You know shes an excellent singer when it falls her so naturally.. Just looking at her singing compared to so many, that is a pure talent. <3

[ThingsWe]

I love Sissel, she is a wonderful singer! Greatings from Norway <3

[esamiga]

Perfection!



[KaiteyAreOH]

This is beyond beautiful (:

[chowychow]

What an angelic voice!!

[jfreder416]

What a tremendous voice and range. This is a glorious tribute. Well done!

[nancynapolitano65]

bellisima!!

[BorisCr]

71 tone deaf watched this video... that or they hate music!

[einherzundeineseele]

Eine solche wunderbare Stimme mit einem natürlichem Wohlklang und Seele vorgetragen,

hat mich berührt.

[LittleBird1432]

THAT APPLAUSE SHOULD BE SO MUCH BIGGER

[Idol2011no]

@LittleBird1432, give'em a break. She's singing for her home audience. They have been spoiled by Sissel's voice all from the Christmas of 1983 when they already then understood that this is something special that only comes around once every 10 000 years. This is her first TV apperance: /watch?v=wrlUWUtMZ28

[LittleBird1432]

She is perfect :3

[surfalugnt]

Shouldn't it be "Pie Iesu"? There's no "J"s in latin you know... :-)

[zigminator]

@surfalugnt And there shouldn't be any critics but yet here you are.

Sharpen your ears..

[Idol2011no]

@surfalugnt, you're wrong. J is the tenth letter of the basic modern latin alphabet, added early in the eighteenth century.

[xgirl831]

and i like her necklace since it was sent down from heaven with her

[xgirl831]

im 12 and im sitting back in my chair saying WOW THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[danlar1000]

That´s one of the key-features of out dear Sissel, she makes it seems so efforless, and easy! But DAMN this take some serious voice controll to perform! :D

[Tsgarlin]

I don't think Sissel is human. She's an angel descended from Heaven...

[davidandhaylee2]

i would LOVE to see Enya do this song...ughh,....can you imagine that?!?!? whew!!!

[davidandhaylee2]

when Jackie sings this song you can see her trying so hard....when sissel sings it...it flows from her face with zero effort....almost as if is bores her lol....AMAZING

[Mrsawyer46]

@davidandhaylee2 Exactly, no emotion.

[davidandhaylee2]

@Mrsawyer46 this song calls for controll....sissel beats jackie e-skank-o for emotion as well....so why dont youjust...go ahead aaaaannnnnddd shut your flap.....yeah that works for me.....( flips you the bird)

[Mrsawyer46]

@davidandhaylee2 A classy lady like Sissel would be embarrassed if she knew she had fans like you. Nuf said.

[davidandhaylee2]

poor Jackie Evancho....she just got her ass handed to her here....bavo bravo bravo!!

[Mrsawyer46]

@davidandhaylee2 Hey idiot! She's 11 years years old. Your comment exposes your level of intelligence.

[davidandhaylee2]

@Mrsawyer46 yes it does, my MENSA membership also does this =).but thank you. and please, dont be so hard on yourself ok? =) LMAO

[Mrsawyer46]

@davidandhaylee2 If you truly are a member of MENSA, and I doubt it, you are absolute proof that IQ level has no relationship to how much a person knows. Your gross use of the English language exhibits your lack of education. No problem, I just consider the source.

[Sm0k4bl3]

Not bad.. for an angel

[THORSEN907]

I've never been a big fan of this song but after hearing Sissel; sing this....I am now.

She is the best. It seems the the classical pieces are her strong suit. There is something about her voice. Hearing many of the big name pop stars and then Sissel...it's obvious who has the talent.

[mmykolas]

This, probably is not the best version of Pie Jesu, but, definitely, the most human one.

[gumzerosette]

Sissel; We are so proud of You!

[TheVULGATA]

watch?v=r7bOGsoRIYs watch ! - pie jesu

[NancyJWarm]

This is the most purest version I have ever

heard of this song. All those opera singers belt out way too much on the high notes. It is extremely a

talent to be able to sing a high note soft and pure. Sissel totally pulls that off here. Something I aspire to perfect as a singer myself. Thank you Sissel for you experience,

Strenghth and hope.

[utalkshite]

i have been listening to this for 3 years, there is no comparable version on earth.

[Jim415S]

There is no finer voice anywhere. This is pure singing, crystal clear, with soul.

[Docdogs1]

Not only Lovely voice - lovely face ... lovely arms...

Just an aesthetically Lovely person :)

[MrMixor]

Titanic is nothing special without Sissel.... Celine Dion sings, Sissel is human musical instrument without equal on the planet! Simply the finest soprano ever.

[morrighan72]

I'd never heard of her til today when I read comments under Sarah Brightman's rendition.. how right they were, Sissel is just amazing! SO freakin beautiful & full of emotion, kicks Sarah's ass to the curb! :)

[SuperPhil1966]

Beautiful crisp voice

[ChaoBreeder051491]

1:36....the blonde girl on the right......is that Tarja Turunen??? (Ex Nightwish singer)

[parodox321]

@ChaoBreeder051491 lol, I have a feeling Tarja has other important things to do then be a chorus singer.

[ChaoBreeder051491]

@parodox321 It looks like a very young version of her! It depends on when this was filmed.

[goosebumpish]

norways enya

[PlainSeason]

@goosebumpish ... norways sissel kyrkjebø ^^ 

[PlainSeason]

She sang in Titanic :D

[goosebumpish]

@PlainSeason huh? I think you're mistaking her for celine dion

[PlainSeason]

@goosebumpish nooo.... Not "my heart will go on" but you can hear someone singing in the oveture :) Without any words :D /watch?v=RTiWo_jPhz4

[PlainSeason]

@goosebumpish /watch?v=6wz1xA5kxVI&feature=r­elated

[goosebumpish]

@PlainSeason haha, how could I not know this? I'm norwegian :-) thanks!

[PlainSeason]

@goosebumpish Jeg å xD

[goosebumpish]

@PlainSeason hahah :D

[Ersanea]

Bravo!!!!

[StrathanMusic]

Just thought Sissel fans may enjoy the music of soprano Stephanie arcadias and countertenor Thomas Otten. They have a beautiful album called The Two Voices. There are also two new videos on YouTube with songs "Open Wings" and "Beautiful Memories" from their album.

[CPR6217]

Thnx for your amazing voice to delight me in the morning.

[Zoria1]

The best version i've heard!

[daviddyrland]

It is unseemly to compare sissel with any other artist. She has a gift that just needs to stand alone and be appreciated for what it is. Beyond brilliant, inspiring to the depths of the soul, she and her gifts are a treasure to behold.

[DreamWeaver2020]

In a world of darkness there is Light. She should never do any other kind of music just these classics.

[silversmoke6]

I love sarah brightman But I love Sissels' version of this song better :)

[popups46okay]

All my life I have always felt blessed with everything the Lord has offered me. My only question is why didn't he bless me with a voice like this? LOL

[THORSEN907]

Listen to her sing " Lascia Ch`io Pianga"  it will take your breath away. Also

Ave Maria

[94981745]

Lovely

[MrGlenn49]

Truly beautiful. A professional singer and then comes the child prodigy, Jackie Evancho. How a child can sing with the same or similar beauty and quality is astounding. Sissel and Jackie, no doubt , will be singing together in the near future. Can't wait!

[shooterdotmy]

I have no religion,but i feel peace to enjoy this song...^^...and i wonder why muslim need a huge open air speaker while they praying???they never think of others who feels like sound polution?why not praying inside heart or indoor with sound system???some1 can ans me??maybe every religion is good,if not,why ppl worship them..

[TheCowsGoMoo65]

I LUV PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dlrunner]

angels come in all forms. Sissel is proof positive.

[StoneageDinosaurs]

Unbelievable, she blows Aled Jones and Sarah Brightman out of the water!

[zskfan100]

@StoneageDinosaurs ... and my current Zurcher soloists too ? Where is the boy soloist here in the performance

of Webber´s Requiem ?

[sapphire0045]

Now that is a voice that can break glass!!

[galveston19]

heavenly awesome! greets from mexico :)

[galveston19]

This is OUT of this WORLD

[sapphire0045]

i am soo jelous withought doubt, i had to sing this last year and compared to her i sound like 25 cats getting run over on the freeway :'( shes my new role model, (srry mom) lol

[MaggareN]

@sapphire0045 hehe :)

[sapphire0045]

@MaggareN its so true!! I never new why people would cry to these types of song......UNTILL i realized im crying too lol :)

[kiitosmatsuzaki]

She is miracle, nothing else.

[JRobbySh]

Reminds me of Julie Andrews in appearance when Julie was awarded her Oscar.

[PlayForMeASymphony]

Sung with grace...and from the heart....This is beautiful 

[Mrsawyer46]

Amazing! Jackie is so exceptional, at 11 years old, that we're still comparing her to the grace, beauty and singing ability of Sissel. Why can't we just enjoy them both for who they are: the adult female vocalist with the most beautiful voice in the world...and the child female vocalist with the most beautiful voice in the world.

Thank you

[Docdogs1]

@Mrsawyer46 Ha HA!

I believe it is really only yourself that is trying to engineer some sort of comparison GangLOL!!!

Do you see all these other commenters bothering with yer Jackie???!! ;)

NO! lol

Sissel is so much to be enjoyed and too brilliant in her own right for us to bother seeking comparisons

Let's just enjoy wot we're witnessing here :)

[Mrsawyer46]

@Docdogs1 I completely understand what you mean...you are correct about seeking comparisions. It is because of people in the music industry, being so amazed at the genius of this child, that I was compelled to find out, by comparison, if it was really true. And after listening to many classical singers, I'm afraid it's true. Now I can stop wasting my time trying to find another classical singer with her special gift. They're aren't any. Now I can stop responding to these stupid posts.LOL

[pmpodge]

What a babe.

[ahmed131180]

Yep Yep

Du er flik å sang Sissel

Takk for dine vakkre song



[MrTotoberry]

Effortless!!

[licelight]

i can feel her breath that i do not like

[alexgomez2]

Wow! This is truly heavenly!

[LeDuddu]

She sings so heavenly.... and she seems so fragile! She reminds me of a nightingale!

[Stratoman77]

I might get zapped for this,but even the angels in Heaven could not possibly sing with the beauty and purity of Sissel.To listen to her sing this song is truly a spiritual experience!

[dlrunner]

She is truly a talent of unique distinction. Thank you God!!

[MrMixor]

Sissel is the best. Far above the rest, in my opinion. Her voice is a fine-tuned instrument in itself

[MrMixor]

if Jackie Evancho is careful not to over do it, she will one of the best ever. However good that

[Docdogs1]

@MrMixor Sissel's tone is much nicer and more girl-like than Jackie's.

Jackie's voice could already be TOO mature for sheer beauty and delicacy by the time she is 20.

Anyway, time will tell.

Jackie would be great ... IF one had not heard Sissel make this kind of music her ownLOL! :)

[thespecaildino]

@Docdogs1 Your comparing a woman who has had YEARS of training and experience, to an 11 year old with an amazing gift, Ya. not even close to fair. so please. HUSH YO MOUTH

[Docdogs1]

@thespecaildino MaybeLOL!

But I'm pretty brilliant at talent and growth forecasting ;) [We all have our talents!]

I'm not saying this girl will not succeed, nor am I saying she will not be good.

What I AM saying is, her tone will not be as sweet, as feminine or as ladylike as Sissel's.

So it depends exactly what qualities you seek that do it for you. I certainly love those types of qualities in a female performer :)

[Mrsawyer46]

@Docdogs1 I think Sissel is the most beautiful, natural, lovely and BEST, adult classical singer in the world. I think Jackie is the most beautiful, natural, lovely and BEST, child classical singer in the world. I've listened to a lot of great classical singers since discovering Jackie, trying to find someone who sounded, to me, more pleasing. It's only my point of view, but, the only singer that rivals Jackie for sheer vocal beauty, is Sissel. That we're even comparing them is remarkable.

[oofahman]

Does she have any CD's out? I sure hope so because I'm goingto buy them...what an underrated talent!! Magnificent!

[oofahman]

HOW GORGEOUS!! WHAT A VOICE!!! And this is one of my favorite peices!

[FriedenDurchWissen]

Sing me one more song please :)

[joe12757]

Hearing this draws me closer to the divine

[Voidiria]

A voice of an Angel. Heavenly, truly.

[marylima1970]

Wonderful!!! 

[AnarchyNakiwarai]

Really good!! I bit.. slidey in places. ^^; But I was pleasantly surprised. =]

[HigherLove70]

@AnarchyNakiwarai You have to love a half-assed compliment.

[AnarchyNakiwarai]

@HigherLove70 Hmmmm?

[2pikeman]

what a voice, and so beautiful

[Strymn]

I heard her on the radio and now I'm a fan. Absolutely beautiful voice

[brannlyn]

Det ser ser så uanstrengt og lett ut når hun synger. Den stemmen er bare en gudegave.

[garderstorgutt]

Stolt over at hun er norsk :)

[b43xoit]

Abrahamic religion has taken away and ruined too many beautiful sexy women. But it doesn't sting so badly when sung in Latin.

[winston0024]

Is it just me or do you wish she was naked right now ... Bang tidy!!!

[timheidi53]

Oh yea! Definately better than Sarah B especially the high notes.

[pascal210675]

ja dorre

[brightspark495]

i can die now...

[Dal4us]

I am....at peace

[mhughes72]

So absolutely effortless....

[number1pixie]

I have goose bumps listening to this, it is the best version i have ever heard!!

[brightspark495]

@number1pixie yeah i got goosebumps too! imagine in a beautiful medieval church in italy and suddenly you hear this song.... bliss...

[number1pixie]

@brightspark495 I'd have loved her to sing at my wedding... she has the true voice of an Angel

[zralokvemigraci]

i liked it but i wonder why so many people sing "agnus dei" somehow like "anyus"... i think that's a mistake in pronounciation, isn't it?

[sivertha]

@zralokvemigraci The text is Latin, which is a written language. There are different types of pronunciations. If it's German-Latin then it is agnus, if it is Italian-Latin then it is anyus.

[zralokvemigraci]

@sivertha oh, thank you very much, i really didn't know that. :)

[rooiee]

This is not and Andrew Lloyd Webber song. It is by late French composer Gabriel Faure.

[KingOfErehwon]

@rooiee You are wrong, rooiee. Faure wrote an aria named, "Pie Jesu" as part of his "Requiem," but Webber also wrote an aria named, "Pie Jesu" as part of his own "Requiem." The words come from the same liturgical text, but the music is completely different. You will see common Latin text shared in many compositions throughout history.

[rooiee]

@KingOfErehwon

Yes you are right. I dont know how I got the two songs mixed together.

[EvanchoFan]

This is very nice! How can there be 68 dislikes?

[marabe999]

@EvanchoFan I'm sure you know. Ignorance, arrogance and/or envy. Or all of the above plus more.

[markirish37]

Lit my speakers on fire with its lovely clarity and great volume,, wouldv liken to have heard more impact from the backing singers as they also have a huge impact on a lovely song like this,, Mics been shared, I think the sound engineers here got it badly wrong in not conveying the true punch a song like this is meant to deliver. The backing chorus is important in delivering the ooomph in a song like this, meant to sweep the listener of its feet and take on a trip.

[Stratoman77]

If the sirens of acient folklore had voices like Sissel,it's no wonder they could lure sailors in. : ) I hope Heaven is filled with beauty and purity equal to hers!

[vivaloriflamme]

"You who take away the sins of the world.

Grant them peace."

On a beautiful day

in a most beautiful setting,

the innocent youth of the country were targeted.

Long live Norway.

[esamiga]

Absolutely flawless!

[alav14]

With the tragedy in your home country Norway today , may the Norwegians feel solace and consolation with your songs .Our hearts go to the family of the victims.

[organboi]

She's pronouncing Jesu wrong. Shame.

[jangovovo]

Only One word : wooooooooooooooow

[dasoulbird]

Ohh!! I Cant Breath such a Beauty a masterclass!! an artistic soul with the elements of earth wind and fire...a talent given by God!!! what a wonderful piece what a beautiful voice a heavenly sound!

[zaulaa]

Very nice interpretation.

[DonnaKaro]

fantastic!! chech also out another fantastic soprano from Bergen, Norway singing this iINCREDIBLE song!! Kjerstin Anthun is her name!!

[TheLavenderHeart]

flawless

[TheLavenderHeart]

she has an amazing voice!

[RacingGirl66]

Only Evancho can beat her....

[UncleAlbert76]

She just bought a new house. Welcome back to Norway, Sissel.

[creampuffrus]

@UncleAlbert76 Are you stalking her? JK

[UncleAlbert76]

@creampuffrus :)

[Memkiss]

1:36 Young and blonde Tarja Turunen in the middle of the lowest line:)

But that's not I wanted to say. Sissel's voice is... purely angelic. I wish I had such a powerful, calming and warm soprano like her. If the light of heaven had to be presented in a voice, it would be Sissel's one. Simply astounding.

[uldisauzins]

OMG ... EPIC !!!!!

[uio7354]

auto-tuned?

[jwilliam2255]

@uio7354 No autotune. Just pure talent and years of training.

[mikefu75]

i think if i would believe in angels i wish they would sound like sissel

[pascal210675]

jaime



[SeverSTL]

 I dont recall her asking my permision to be married

[KingOfErehwon]

Sissel is the reason that men fall in love.

[thebirdsremindme]

@KingOfErehwon

Indeed, I believe so!

better than Brithtman !
