  • I am listening to a real live angel,,, the most beautiful voice in the world, belongs to the most beautiful woman in the world, it is pure god made beauty,

  • this is an angel!! she is so beautiful,and what a great voice! one of the very best!

  • Brilliant, and just that!

  • Loved it when I heard ABBA's back in the day. Still love it.

  • hate to say this.Much better than ABBA1

  • I have this cd..It's my favorite Chrismas cd..I play it all day long on repeat....beautifull, makes me think of my Mom....

  • Sissel Kyrkjebø sings beautiful!

  • @ryaneehales i am not quite enchanted by this particular interpretation (not that i know who the singer is, so, please, no offence to this person's fans, or to people who like this kind of music or this style of singing) this is "the catchiest", if not the best, comment I have ever seen here - cute and clever in the same time - truly smart!

  • her voice is perfect...absolutely hypnotic. you don't find many voices this pure very often

  • Sissel (and Sarah Brightman) has one of the most angelic voices I've ever heard. this song literally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

  • A great, cover great voice  and performance.. str8 to my fav list,, thanks for sharing :)

  • Long live Benny Andersson!

  • Sissel has an amazingly beautiful voice. No wonder why we in Norway loves her!

  • the best version ever!

    

  • a bit boring to me... nothing will match Frida's version, but she clearly has a lovely voice with operatic quality

  • Sissel's voice is to the soprano range what Karen Carpenter's was to the alto,the best in the world!

  • Heven sent Voice fra gammle Norge

  • Sorry Mithrandir, I have to agree with the conductor, an ABBA fan as am I, when he says that Sissels performance is way better then the original. We talk about singing quality here, and as he says in a tv-interview nothing can match Sissel´s angelic voice and performance of this song. I think that he only have been professional for forty years, but he sure knows something of singing quality.

    You prefer the original, fine with me, taste differs, but original is not a guarantee for being best.

  • @GosuSan I'm sorry as well, but I disagree with you you. :P I love this version of the song and it's really good, but it's nothing compared to the ABBA version. Frida just has so much more emotion in her voice, because of the things she was going through at the time. And yeah, she's a mezzo soprano, but if ABBA thought this song was for a soprano, they would have used Agnetha. Besides, I feel the 'ticking' was an imp. part in the original and I miss it here. Nonetheless, this is wonderful.

  • so much better than the original version with ABBA and Frida, but Sissel is of course a soprano with the voice of an angel, not easy to match for a mezzo soprano.

  • @GosuSan I Disagree - no-one, no matter how good his/her voice is, can be better than original - i dont deny i am fan of ABBA, and although this version is "good", it can never be as good as that sung by Annifrid

  • Outstanding rendition of a truly great song

  • Entspannend Einzigartig. Wünderschön beruhigend. Einfach nur schön!!

  • AMAZING!

    

  • Perfect, but Frida is much much better. No voice on the earth surface has the softness as Frida's voice. Everyone can see.

  • Lovely.

    

  • beatiful soooooo magical * sighs* )

  • beautiful Oh Love Sissel!!

  • El inicio de la frase "I close my eyes" es verdaderamente soberbio, ¡que control de la voz!. Hermosa capacidad de transmitir los momentos quietos que relata la canción.....Feliz Navidad!!!

  • I believe Frida, Benny, Bjorn, and Agnetha would approve...absolutely!

  • BELISSIMO!

  • It's a lovely setting where Sissel is singing. I love this song, it's quite beautiful.

  • Was it humid in that auditorium? Her hair is all frizzy. Maybe it was her tribute to Frida :-)

  • This is indeed fantastic, however I don't support the view that the highlight was at 3:48 to 3:49. Nonetheless this is a wonderful performance of ABBA's best song INHO.  - - It is tragic this song was thier last - -

  • I remember wanting to listen to this song on my mission when it came out in 1982. I was treated in the most horrible manner possible. Later in another mission, I won an autographed ABBA LP off a Radio station contest.  God loves ABBA. Some mission presidents don't.

  • @phuckizlam Another mission? How many did you serve? Usually we are just asked to serve one.

  • @murphlaw66 I had a medical transfer to another country.

  • I don't know what to say, it's perfect ! absolutely perfect !! wonderful voice and a pretty lady! congratulations, this video is really fantastic ! hugs from - KIKO

  • Tal qual a semente, que em si trás descendente, a femea de seu útero nova vida ao mundo. A Terra por sua vez, primogénita ao sistema solar, nos é Mãe de toda existência terrena, se gerada ou criada, por Deuses e milagres, não nos importam as desculpas e confrontos. Porém, devamos crer, se aqui nos encontramos nos é porque: ALGUÉM DESEJOU, e por sua livre opção de amor, nos quis consciente de vossa própria existência e história... "DEUS, O UNIVERSO E A VIDA" Adorável e magnifica SISSEL.

  • Such feeling, such singing and such a song. Perfection, almost too good to be true!

    Far better then ABBA´s own version.

  • @GosuSan You're an idiot.

  • So beautiful..

  • One of my companions on my mission got ahold of this CD... it's all I ever wanted to listen to. Her crescendos make my heart melt

  • My fav ABBA's song... And she sings it beautifully... I have goosebumps... :-)

  • Absolute perfection.
