  • Amazing voice, where is she come from?

  • @whatthehelludoinhere

    Sissel is the most beloved singer in Norway.

  • Dumnezeu a fost asa de darnic cu tine.....

  • Sissel is one of a kind and Celine is one of a kind. They can't be compared!

  • OH PRAISE GOD ...BEAUIFUL GOLRY TO GOD

  • Celtic women are no where as good as Sissel. I've heard Celtic in concert.

  • Sissel sings this song better than any other singer. Why always compare? Just sit back and enjoy her angelic voice. She brings so much joy into my life,

    cherokee1370

  • its funny how the female singers with truly beautiful melodic voices are actually incredibly beautiful ladies. Its kind of a nice change from the typical punky, roll out of bed look type singers who wear makeup like war paint.

  • she sings beautifuly, but I don't like this version of the song. nothing rong wiht her.

  • I agree with tuulia93: I think there are better versions out there. Josh Groban and Celtic Woman are better at this song because of their warm voices. Nice try though.

  • No reason to argue about who is the best. Simple good music inspires me and this is good, very very very good. I will never forget the first time I heard her. I could not believe the beauty of her soul reflected in the music. marni. M

  • Sissel has very good and pretty voice, but she could sing this better. I just love this song, but i was little bit disapointed with this :/ Celtic Women - You raise me up, is better :)

  • @tuulia93 true...true... Celtic Woman is better at this song. I agree with Nachtvlinder 74.

  • She is better than Celine, because her voices is natural.

    Most of the singers their voice are somehow fix with the technology. However Sissel can sing in person better than in a Studio.

  • this is so uplifting. i am truly intrigued with this lovely music. thank you Sissel. You bring joy in to lives such as mine.

  • i have to agree about the comparisons. celine and sissel have a totally diffferent voice range. i find sissels voice pure and melodic. beautiful

  • The Angels don't bother about comparisons

  • This is an incredible song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • To all,

    I have listened to Celine, since she became popular in the 80's, and thankfully through the wonderful web and YouTube, have discovered that Celine sucks. Her voice couldn't hold a candle to many other female artist in her category.

  • I don't understand why people keep trying to compare Celine and Sissel... They're both amazing. I think Sissel has an amazing vocal range and a lot of emotion, but then again Celine has a very powerful voice... However, the fact that Sissel can stand on stage and sing like this live is absolutely fantastic.

  • Great version..with great emotion.

    I hope you LIKE MY VERSION. I am a young tenor from the U.K

    Many thanks. George :)

  • i like teh oeiginal version much better then this one. sorry to offend all the people who love this

  • i wish i can meet sissel, very beautiful person

  • How can anyone dislike this? Wow. I mean, wow.

  • response to mikensal09

    "No one can compare to Celine and the **power** of her voice"??? You mean except *any* competent opera singer. In terms of vocal power any good opera singer will blow both Sissel and Celine away. I don't listen to Sissel because I think she has the loudest or most powerful voice, although she can certainly match Celine.

  • I listen to her because: I love the kinds of songs she does, especially the traditional scandinavian songs. I love the arrangements she sings, always with the best musicians, chorus, etc. Her vocal skills are extremely good, better than any except the very best professional opera singers. Her voice is the purest, sweetest, most beautiful sound I've ever heard, or ever expect to hear. I react to her songs emotionally, and sometimes spiritually, in a way unlike any other singer I've ever heard.

  • I would love to see her living with me. Love her

  • Superb

  • Going home

  • Sissel, how come I've never heard of you until today? You're amazing! It's not every day I hear an artist for the first time and wish I had the chance to record with them. God bless you, and keep up the great music!

  • Nice

  • Norge har olja, Sissel och Petter Northug... vi har kärnkraft, Carola och Hellner.. Norge er best!

  • @trannel9988 Oh, come on... Hellner er da bra? (Takket vaere Carola har dere jo ogsaa han idioten hun var gift med, saa takk skal dere ha for det!)

  • Just sing titanic already!

  • @qwer1234555sd she did sing in titanic, she's the voice behind the haunting intro of titanic XD

    /watch?v=6olT7KtH-iw

  • @zepparadistepi lol I know. Still the best movie soundtrack to date

  • Her voice is so special. It's got a sparkle and magic that no one can compare. When she sings you find yourself smiling. She talks to your heart in a way no one else can.

  • She sings one note and I get cold :)

  • Hello

    Her voice is wonderfull and pure.Strong and delivers right on que.

    Hendes stemmer er fantastic,og giver glæde at lytte til.

    Mange tak,

    Henrik

  • Beautiful voice , beautiful Lady

  • Where is she from????

  • @elipagolatri1 She's from Norway.. She's amazing!

  • @elipagolatri1 She is from a town in Norway called Bergen.

  • @elipagolatri1 She is from Bergen in Norway

  • is she a christian? cuz she sings really pretty and i was just wondering cuz this is a gospel song.

  • @xlilxmamax1andonly Yes, she is.

  • @jwilliam2255 thats awesome and her voice is beautiful. :)

  • @xlilxmamax1andonly I think Sissel is Christian cause those look much like angel feathers Jesus was adding to the hairdo...right?

  • @xlilxmamax1andonly She is a christian

  • I love norway, i'm a finn :)

  • @pirkkapetteri Me too.. I'm Danish

  • As nice as Sissel sings this, Josh Groban OWNS this song!

  • @mermew too bad he cant sing it anymore lol

  • Norge vi älskar dig:), Från Svearike^^

  • Älskar dig Norge våra underbara syster

  • )PURE! Sweet and pure!  Her soprano vocals sound "natural", not " forced" like so many others sound. I would be afraid to see & hear her in concert. I am so hopelessly in love with her now that my old heart might not survive the excitement of seeing and hearing her in person.

  • Sissel is a very beautiful woman with a very beautiful voice

  • beautiful

  • Just charming.

  • Funny how Sissel sings better and better and grows more and more beautiful as the years pass.

  • "en større sammenheng" refererer til business med mennesker utenfor Norden.

    Det lar seg ikke gjøre å ta en Brundtland når en ikke har norsk statsborgerskap, svima. Jeg innser heller ikke når det er jeg har behov for den norske stat. Den har ikke noe å tilby som ikke tilbys meget bedre en haug andre land. Selv på selvskryt og selvgodhet finnes det sterkere alternativ. Norske stat er ikke best på noe som helst, ikke engang på udugelighet.

  • About who is she singing about?

  • @usptact

    This song is widely considered to be in the genre of "gospel music" and so it is likely the singer is referring to

    God or "Jesus". Lyrics such as "soul" and "wait in the silence" and references to walking on a stormy sea, etc; would seem to suggest that's the case. The empowerment given to the person who waits for this "person" or being would seem to be greater than can be given by one flawed human to another.

  • very very nice song sang by beautiful lady

  • very very nice song sang by beautiful lady

  • very2x nice song sang by beautiful lady

  • I always like to listen to other and I become happy when hear her voice ^_^ but she cant goes too high >.< but it's ok, I wish to give her my power and my throat she is ganna be the perfect singer in the whole world.

  • @linnhaug, I'm not Norwegian and beleive me when i say, if living in a norwegian pity socialdemocratic society had anything to do with Sissel's success it must have been to her disadvantage. Thus, there is no pride what so ever for you to harvest here.

  • @Vocalallusive

    Wow...you are really judgemental for someone who has obviously never been in Norway.

  • @758sss, I'll give you a tip. Don't call something obvious unless it really is obvious.

  • @Vocalallusive Så du e ikke norsk? Koffør e svaret ditt til linnhaug identisk me svar brukt av sopranelsker, eller e du bare en fanboy?

  • @myskijn, jeg er en stor fan av Sopranelsker. Det bør ikke overrake noen. Han er i besittelse av en argumentasjonskraft jeg aldri har sett maken til hos noen andre.

    Og nei, jeg er ikke norsk. Hvis jeg var norsk ville jeg straks søke å bli kvitt dette stempel ved å søke statsborgerskap et annet sted. Jeg kjenner en rekke nordmenn som har gjort akkurat dette, fordi det var en for stor belastning i en større sammenheng å bli ansett som en uselvstendig dust som ikke klarer seg uten mamma staten.

  • @Vocalallusive Herregud man... Nu e æ spent på korsn stor sammenheng det e en belastning å vær norsk i. At du inbill dæ at det e en belastning e vel ikke helt det samme, e det vel? Uansett, håpa du trives der du e, og ikke tar en Brundtland når du treng den norske stat.

  • I am Norwegian, and believe me when I say we are PROUD to say Sissel is from our homecountry! She appairs to the most earthbound singer ever to walk earth, and all she wants to do, as she herself says in an interview, is to SING. Keep on singing, we love to hear it!! <3

  • Celtic Woman is better

  • this is really bad......

  • @RandolfLedesma Either you are being sarcastic in your expression of opinion, or you are tone deaf....

  • You guys don';t compare her to CEline, during the Titanic movie. FYI Sissel was there, she did the voice over or the overture, you might havent notice it, but search sissel role in Titanic sound background!!!!!! she was there guys....the same time Celine Dion sung the Titanic theme song

  • @94mav98

    You are right in saying that she is a better singer than Celine. As a matter of opinion, she cannot be compared to Celine because Sissel has a rich and cultured voice let alone its natural superb quality. If we really have to compare them, Celine would sound like a strained croaking frog. Sissel can be world renowned too if given the right break at the right time and a better handler perhaps :D. (I'm from the far east)

  • Prefer Celtic Woman's version. listen to it.

  • she will never be a better singer than celine...but she has a beautifool voice too

  • @adelutzaeu No! Sissel has *always* been a *much* better singer than Celine.

  • @jwilliam2255...i'm not gonna lie she has good vocals but to say she's always been a much better singer than celine??? im sorry but you must be deaf lol...how can you compare her to celine??noone can compare to celine and the power of her voice!

  • Comment removed

  • @jwilliam2255 HAHAHA WHAT?!?!?!!? Celine Dion is the BEST singer in the world.. NOBODY sings better then her!

  • @SimonSweMusic Please, where Sissel simply sings, Celine screams.

  • @jwilliam2255 SOOOO DAAAAMN TRUE!!!!!

  • world class singer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for sharing Masato!

  • Sissel is in a class of her own, as well as being a performer with class.

  • Sssel is in a class of her own...as she also has class....

  • God ... how refreshing it would be to be able to sing without any blocks in your voice! just shooting your voice into the sky! ahhhh , i wish I was a great singer like this.

  • Her voice fills me to the brink with pure clarity as well. Both she along with Sarah Brightman and Charolette Church are in this catagory of musicianship all on their own. I must disagree with lolqueta though. Just because pop is a phenomenon does not make one who has pure musicianship have simple potential. They supercede pop.

  • Wow...I've never heard her before. Easily as good or better then anyone. Im impressed by the fact that in the higher notes, she doesnt go 'nasal', like many do. Great control and clarity.

  • Comment removed

  • so beautiful. i would love to see her in concert. thank you for sharing

  • The one word that I would describe Sissel with is "PURE." She is so fantastic she is solidly pure through and through. Unbelievable voice.  I would love to see her in concert.

  • @budaboo188 So true, so true. Such a rare purity. Sissel is proof that God allows his angels to embody among us.

  • Sissel is supercool.

  • love her voice

  • Isn't it lovely to hear pure singing??

  • Wow her voice is crystal clear.

  • really really gifted... the only thing is that this kind of voice (like opera singing) is not what we like in America..... pop,,, ballads showing her potential...

  • dif to compare Sissel with Celine, I will love them all the way :-)

  • Son odiosas las comparaciones, Sissel es el más grande y fino talento en este mundo, no tiene punto te comparación...

  • This is... not her song. She is so phenomenal, but she should NOT EVER sing this song ever again. O Mio Babbino is my favorite of hers.

  • composer Rolf Løvland did a very clever job by copying 90% of the harmony from the old Irish folk song "Danny boy", on which there are no copyrights...

  • @blondstallion

    Do you know what................you're dead right mate..........it's a total rip off.

    That said, there are so many traditional Irish songs so alike.

  • i love Sissel's version of this just cause her voice is so wonderful, but I definitely love the arrangement on Celtic Woman's cd better than this one.

  • I don't know if it is her singing style in this song or just this genre of music, but I don't like it on her voice. She has a beautiful voice. I love it on O Mio Babbino Caro. I just don't think her vibrato and tone are suited to this style of music.

  • Sissel is the only one; has no equal. Period.

  • Yes, it is indeed a contest who is the better singer. All though, this is not a sound quality worthy comparing with anything. It would be nice if somebody would get this from Swedish television and upload in full quality.

  • As a Scotsman I have to say her English is better than mine

  • cosawanty,

    I lived and worked in Glasgow for 15 months. For such a small country, you Scots have a variety of accents. It took a few months for me to pick up a Glaswegian ear. Beautiful country and good people. My workmates made me feel at home.

    Cheers,

    allen

  • Glad you enjoyed your time in Glasgow it is certainly an amazing city. As for the accent yes it is difficul,t we speak at 200 mph when we slow down for a stranger lol. And when we have had a few sherberts we are unintelligable.

    All the best

    Bobby

  • Bobby,

    You want unintelligible? Go spend a weekend in Lerwick up in the Shetland Islands. :O)

    cheers,

    allen

  • MMMM should I cancel my flight next month to Bangkok and go to the shetlands.

    Aye right LOL

  • God Bless

  • This is the best version of YRMU here on YT. I have never heard a more beautiful voice than Sissel in my whole life. She is the greatest singer of our time. This song is just perfect for her.

  • She has a nice voice but she didnt do well on this song. It's just not the right song for her.

  • Amazing voice. Such clarity and range.

  • Sissel is amazing,you just cant help being overwhelmed by her talent,and enchantment.

  • and for anyone who has trouble with bbccd999 check qqdjpz's comment 3 weeks ago;p he is mainly replying to tht:D

  • at all who listen to this song and still manage to get aggressive to someone who's english is poor(bbccd999), wtf is wrong with u??? first of all its not tht inteligble (and I'm not even english:o), tho ofc I wont argue tht it is very poor english. but tbh ur comments are fairly spiteful and if thts what u sit back with after this song it saddens me. hands down for Sissel's voice, she does indeed left me up:D <3 the world and be happy

  • great!

  • real voice...

  • to continue --- have heard her in open air concerts as well as in concert halls -- you cant believe her when you see and hear her live

  • You're lucky !! I would love to see Sissel in concert when I go to Danemark (I'm from France but I sometimes go io Aalborg beacuse I've got danish friends here).But I wonder what my parents would said if I suddendly tell them "I want to see Sissel in concert" lol, I imagine their reactions.

  • I have had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful woman in concert on several occasions -- and I have NEVER been disappointed -- anytime she performs around here (Copenhagen) I have tickets, believe me --- she is actually better live than on CD's or video's -- If you ever get the chance -- you have to go see her live -- have heard her in open air concert

  • who is this frigging idiot bbccd999?? Cat spell, cant even put together a sentence that makes any sense --- really ruins a great song and a great singer -- Sissel is just perfect

  • I cannoth comprehend what it is he(bbccd999) is trying to say. Any Ideas?

  • I think a lack of education and a bit too much alcohol have affected his ability to do much of anything (talking about bbccd999 here) This guy is just a whack job that should be banned from this site -- Have no idea what he was trying to say -- totally incoherent

  • ronharrelljr, how the heck are you able to get excited about a claim saying Sissel singing with poor english when the claim comes from a guy whose English is so poor it's hard to read?

    And if you cared to visit his channel you would learn what motivates him to produce that loose claim: if you only knew about sisterly love. Sweden did not produce a single decent singer the last 20 years, while Norway did at least 10. Cecilia Lima Knutsen and Marita Solberg to name two, even better than Sissel.

  • I dont know where you are coming from -- but whose poor english are you talking about???

  • ronharrelljr, bbccd's naturally.

  • Sopranelsker,

    She speaks better English than most Americans.

  • carvetop, what exactly in my text do you believe you contradict with that statement?

  • Sopranelsker,

    I meant to contradict nothing. I think her English(American) accent is spot on.

  • @carvetop01 Shes from Bergen, the accent there is the same as the american accent, so thats why speaking english comes natural for them.

  • @carvetop01 No she dosen't, sigh...

  • the guy is a jerk

  • Looks like he needs a couple of grammar courses along with a few AA meetings.

  • WELL,Folks: LIsten on ELVIS PRESLEY much. You Would Maybe Say If You Hear Him Much that He Absoluttely Could Sing operah to when you listen on hes Voice. I Think He Could As Sissel Can To. He Could sing all sorts of music.But you must listen on all Hes Songs Not Onlt Only One. Same With Sissel Listen on Them All. Sissel Sing operah.

  • Elvis can sing wery highly to. Sissel sing with Humbleness.and love from her Hearth.Elvis Do To. Elvis If You Hear him clearly is also in a class for Himself. There Are Simmulair Things. Sadly i Think Elvis Died Because Of Wrong medicines. Sisel Dont use it. Sissel is in same class in many way,but she is Woman. Yes Humbleness made Her Beatifull.Not wrong at all.

  • I like to listen and watch Sissel singing because she need not to yell to reach the high notes. It's more comfortable and peaceful to listen to Sissel!

  • I agree whit you. Sidsel is the best!

  • Now really! Comparing Sissel and Celine Dion is like comparing Placido Domingo and Elvis Presley. I am not trying to start an argument but anyone with ears can tell that Celine simply does not have anywhere near the vocal range and of Sissel. Not to mention the clarity of her voice. Sure Celine is great and so was Elvis. Sissel is in a class of her own!

  • I love Sissel, I really do. I think she's a great singer, and a wonderful performer. What the fuck was she thinking with that hair though?

  • If you want proof that Sissel is better than Celin Dion, look up her performance with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir- it's absolutely PERFECT

  • jinheneamerican

    This is not a contest. They are both extremely talented. I prefer Sissle, but that is certainly subjective.

  • @jinheneamerican Isn't it colpetely unnessecary to compare to wonderful singers? Each of them has her own special voice and I'm happy to have two such wonderful singers on the world.... not the singers make a fight...it's mostly caused by the media...

    I love both singers!

  • WOW! i love this song. very well done sissel.

  • Sissels voice is just amazing. It's always "clear" and without faults, but should I be honest; This song wasn't the best for her. I am from Norway too, and I think Sissel is a wonderful singer.

  • Linnche jeg er også fra norge. hun har en vakker stemme og synger som en engel.jesus velsigne deg. fred. jeg sier ingenting Linnche. jesus vet best tror jeg. jeg synes hun synger vakkert uansett vad hun synger.all ære till jesus. gud velsigne deg og gi guds fred i jesu navn.  sier en nordmann bosatt i sverige,

  • How nice to hear a this wonderful (world famous song), made by a Norwegian composer (yes, Rolf Lövland from Norway wrote this song, not Josh Groban as some of you think)...and sung by the best female singer in Norway (the voice of Titanic).... It's magic :)

  • Thanks for the nice posting. I'm only sorry I only found her about a month ago. Obviously should have been long ago. My wife is Scandanavian and we have hopes of coming to Norway and maybe Denmark, someday. I would sure love to see Sissel in person.

  • ftrask1: Your welcome ;) Hehe, your wife must be Swedish then? ;p People in Norway and Denmark know about Sissel (and your wife didn't?? hehe). Sissel was married to Eddie Skoller for ten years (1993-2003) who is a famous Danish musician/entertainer (thats why the danish people know her) ;). You should come to Scandinavia now, Sissel has a christmas concert tour going on with another Norwegian artist. (in Sweden before christmas). She toured in Norway in november;) They got really good critics!

  • My wife is Danish and Norwegian and apparently more Norwegian than Danish. She is learning about Sissel because of me. We live in Florida in the winter and Maine in the summer. In the US, of course. And she didn't know about our trip, so her comment was, is he going to put us up? I said I'm not sure it is even a "HE". My wife just told me her mothers name was Margrethe. And her grandfather immigrated from Sweden to the US as a 15 year old all by himself. By the way, I'm 79 and my wife is 66.

  • I trust I didn't scare you with the "is he going to put us up". Not the intent at all. And I still love Sissel and her singing with the Oslo Gospel Choir, "To God be the Glory". Fabulous! And that last note!!!

  • Yes, truly a voice of Titanic. But not as Celine Dion <3 They both are among my favourite singers :) I bought "Nordisk Vinternatt" yesterday, and I'm thinking about buying to more CDs from her. Great voice! I can't but compare her with Celine and Celtic Woman <3

  • Celine sang the theme song :p Sissel's voice - through the whole movie ;) Here's the story: In 1993 Sissel visited composer James Horner's home in LA to hear the song "My Heart Will Go On", which he had written especially for her. However PolyGram Records would not pay $1,000,000 for the options to an uncertain soundtrack-album and insisted that the more popular Celine Dion performed the song. She become then the little-known but crucial vocal contribution to the blockbuster movie Titanic

  • Well, Sissel would done great with Titanic too :3 She's almost as good as Celine ^^

  • She's a better singer than Celine, but Celine is more "pop" and therefore she was probably a better pick for the pop version of the song. Still, I wish there would have been an orchestral version with Sissel, for the movie and not for the radio.

  • My opinion is that Celine is a little bit better. She has such a strong voice, which touches my heart. But Sissel is amazing too c:

  • @MyAngel278 Celine can't touch Sissel vocally.

  • Oh, I think so. The fact is that I think Celine has one of the greatest voices in the world. But of course, I respect AND underatand your opinion, cause Sissel's voice is beautiful too (:

  • @MyAngel278 My "opinion" isn't actually an opinion, it's just a simple fact. A rather simple one, you're perfectly entitled to believe what you want though. Regardless of how wrong it may be.
