Morten Harket interview

[cristinawilligs]

guess he is an asperger, as i am

[scream4depp]

@cristinawilligs I was thinking...and I kind of agree! I have a friend with aspergers so I know about it

people say he often goes on and on with a topic that doesn't make sense, Mag's explains him as unpredictable-like throwing random words, he is often in his own world, looks at the bigger picture not the tiny details, but he get's on with people and think he understands expressions so maybe I'm wrong.

[cristinawilligs]

@scream4depp well, i was watching interview and he has some tics that i also have, i read also his biography and when was a child he was weird, and uncomprehended, and also is very religious as many aspies, i guess he wouldn be half as great if it wasnt by this condition, having that voice is an every day effort must be one of his many aspies routine

[scream4depp]

@cristinawilligs wow =) what biography was that? 

[cristinawilligs]

@cristinawilligs i read in the a-ha web page there is a transcription of one of their first bio called the story so far

[dayargrosario]

@cristinawilligs where did he say that he has asperger?

[cristinawilligs]

@dayargrosario it is not said, the biography on the official page only says that he was bullied at school for being very imaginative, which in my opinion is a feature of someone who is an asperger, also if you watch him carefully youll note he has some ticks, the way he moves his hands when he talks, and the way he changes the conversation subject, it is not said anywhere, but i who have an asperger child, and being an asperger miself i can tell he is an asperger too, but i might be wrong

[Falbala146]

what the hell ise wearing???!!

[Michaelishous1]

He's 37 years older than me, but I love him. Blast my mother for holding his money and putting a watch on his wrist!

[CarelessMemories71]

Now that a-ha have ended : ( , I look forward to hearing more of Morten's solo voice. I can't bear the thought that we won't here that voice again on new material.

[Shak0ok0o16]

aww, after about 2 decades, he still seems to stutter. how adorable. What is his secret to looking like he does? He looks fantastic!

[PsycShiit]

Miihih, he is the cousin of my best friend's father!

[lynzlou09]

He is 32 years older than me and I still have a crush on him!

[pinkfizz09]

I'm the same age and feel exactly the same!

[legorocks3]

holy shit he's like 50 and he looks 30

[search4menow]

Thank you SO much for posting this. He looks as always awesome...but, he sounds kind of low energy. :0( So serious and introspective. I wish him EVERY happiness. He tries so hard to live a good life...to care, to invest his heart and soul...to be open to new experiences and opportunities for growth etc. I hope he does not squash his needs for self expression or feel embarassed in any way about his personality or his actions. Everything he does is precious - from the heart. God bless!

[fernanduxenha]

the perfect man.

[tomialpha]

I appreciate him because he doesn't ruin his health like most pop stars.

Probably that's why he looks so young and fresh.

I think he lives for music not for drugs, drinks and cigarettes.

[hellgirl68]

i dont know what he is meaning? Darling say it clear!

[Shadowsadist]

He is hard to listen to... but only ever if he's so preeetty *blink blink*

[Bunny2267]

@hellgirl68 what did he smoke before he made this interview?

[raibrazil]

I love everything in Morten Harket, even his pink shirt!

[Shadowsadist]

Oh, pink shirts aren't so bad... It's the color of love and everyone hates it, figures!

[colombian62]

He is hooooooooooooooooooooot

[54spiritedwill54]

Most beautiful man in the world

[forestdweller68]

He comes across to me as someone really genuine, intelligent and interesting.

[aislinnlili]

That is a sexy sexy man right there.

::faint::

[edenmoonstar]

jane and morten forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MiguelDante]

Does Morten ever age? He's apparently discovered the fountain of youth and looks amazing!

[GreenBot08]

yeah the only thing ugly about him is that horrid pink shirt he is wearing. XD

[Shadowglimt]

Haha :') Not used to see him like that x) Still cool, when Morten Harket wears pink clothes though x))

[dinmolle]

oi, uuuhm.. pink sweater indeed..

but he rocks^^

[SweetMillionaryShit]

actually i don't like pink shirts on boys, but Harket looks niiiice :D

[ALostPilot]

aye, he also speaks pretty sweet english way above the average for norway. jasafolk!

[max23z]

To Fish...head(fishbygding)you might think he's stupid, but at least he's out there being famous doing what he loves. Unlike your sorry ass!

[bazza0173]

i've got to say, i didn't really see anything wrong with what he said.. he made sense and was very poetic in his choice of words.

[harketmaniac]

What a silly text comments!!

[brucefriedman1]

If I was as talented as Morten Harket I would make a lot more sense than he does. It just goes to show that having talent has nothing to do with one's intelligence. I mean, look at Barbra Streisand and her off the wall nonsense. Geez.

[fossebabykiller]

his stupid but sooooooooo funni !!!

[Fishbygding]

Morten Harket is stupid as hell.. listen to him talk in the interwiews. Sounds just as retarded as Tom Cruise.

Is he a good singer.. I think he sings very well. Is he handsome? No doubt he can attract the females, but thats a whole other story. Make him sing.. not talk:P

[sarahs075]

lol Morten's not stupid. I agree he doesn't know how to string a sentence together but if you ever read an interview with him where he could get his thoughts together without a camera in his face, he's astoundingly intelligent. Like borderline genius I swear. You have to go back and read it a few times before you can comprehend what he's saying.

[Fishbygding]

I can imagine that. It's not to hard to seem more intelligent in writing than in sayings.

[sarahs075]

Well my point is he's not stupid. Uncharismatic yes, stupid no.

[Fishbygding]

Morten Harket is stupid as hell.. listen to him talk in the interwiews. Sounds just as retarded as Tom Cruise.

Is he a good singer.. I think he sings very well. Is he handsome? No doubt he can attract the females, but thats a whole other story. Make him sing.. not talk:P

[xDiorxx]

Morten Harket is very good looking. His wife is very lucky.

In the video 'The Sun Always Shine's On TV' he looks so sexy. =D

[harpangel]

Yeah I like the pretty boys too when they were younger!...Jan michael vincent OR morten harket??.....definately Jan for me!,morten was quite arrogant in his younger days...very off putting.

[TheLizardQueen99]

How do you know he was arrogant?

[riKringkast]

Yup, he tends to be quite vague when he's talking, with his quasi-highbrow wording. He's sort of a quasi-philosopher, but often comes off as vague and clumsy, also in Norwegian interviews :P. Most of us Norwegians don't talk English with a British accent though I'm afraid.

[timeoutfourtwo]

lol..for your information Morten Harket has a tendency to speak this unclear in his native tounge,Norwegian, too! besides, shouldnt a guy who has traveled the world his whole life and encountered the press for just as long be able to express himself a little clearer??:)

[lovemorten]

Morten was sooo skinny here, I wonder what was wrong with him during that time....Still loos good, but I like him better with more weight

[bicarbonat]

His accent is delicious & decipherable, end of story.

I suddenly need to go the Netherlands...

immediately. lol

[balrama93]

why Netherlands?

[bicarbonat]

I figure I'll start with the hot-accented guys there and then work my way up to Sweden and Norway~ lol I don't think I could "take on" Morten Harket's homecountry right away.

[cringes at song cheesiness] lol

[mordor715]

yeah, i need to find myself a northern european guy...although i can never have Morten in this life, maybe i can find an amazing guy like him someday, i hope!!

[aharocks]

I love aha !

[damack2]

"for artists it was a very hard time to get anything done, in a good way" You gotta love this man!

[lisaharket]

Yesss i agree with Lynn15... quit makin fun o ma mortyz english!@!!!! he lookz soooo YUMMMY n adorable...btw is dis an old interview or new?? he lost a lot o weight :S

[lovemorten]

I agree lisa, he was sooo skinny, it had to be around 2005 he lost so much weight, i wonder why...Morten what was wrong with you, I hope you are ok...

[mordor715]

he's a cutie!! and yeah, he was very thin here, i wonder if he was sick or maybe he just wasn't eating enough for some reason.

[ginatalie]

I understand Morten Harket... Sometimes, I have the same problem when speaking English. There are words that we don't know and in this case we have to explain them (explaining takes time and gets confusion sometimes). I'm from Peru and I speak almost like him. Does the way he speaks sound (in a way) like a native english speaker from, I don't know, England, Scotland, Ireland?

[tsuki89]

no he doesn't. i can speak norwegian as i am half, but i have an english accent. but english is actually much more clipped and rounded if that makes sense. watch peep show or something, thats what we londoners sound like :)

[scal1007]

Takes Morten ages to ever say anything that makes much sense LOL

[nuage7777]

English is not his first language so take it from somebody who knows what it's like being from France and all, i think he does quite well so take that into consideration... Do you speak another language other than english?

[theultimatekoopa2]

He's Norwegian, not French.

[Lynn15]

I don't think that was his point lol.I think his point is that he knows how it is not having English as your first language.Young Norwegians(and old) can talk English very well. We have to learn either German,Spanish,French ..And another written form of Norwegian. People who are thinking about complaining about his english can shut up and come back when they can speak two languages

[charmonde77]

Few men could look so good in pink !!!

[jademm]

This man is so gorgeous. I love his eyes and his voice (both singing and speaking). I wish he would "take on me". **sigh**

[TulaRadosta]

There is so much secret behind A-ha but nothing that we do not want to say.

Were any of you here at the first Gymnasium concert in Stavanger???

I looked better..thanks dangermoose.

[hansenb1]

When the hell is this new solo album coming out!

H1

[missdangermoose]

Most beautiful man in the world . . .mmmmm

[rockondon]

dont worry about solos stick to a-ha..dont break up da

band lol...

[violentwhisper]

uh yes... i speak perfect english. i was joking about what i said earlier.

[elmillonario92]

es el hombre mas hermoso del planeta

[elisagomes]

Eu te amo, morten.

[abida1]

it's so clear what he's saying perhaps you don't understand english ?

[PariNicole]

Her point was that he's so yummy to look at, its hard to pay attention to what he's saying...so perhaps 'you' can't read english. :|

[violentwhisper]

its so hard to listen to what he says... i just want to look at him LOL

[desera]

I agree. He is quite beautiful in many ways. = )

[Rutonija]

Oh yeah. Me too...
