On the whole I prefer these early recordings of Sissel. I feel that her voice was richer then and her style was more natural, even with the two 'po-faced' choristers behind her! A little envy, perhaps? That's not to criticise her more recent performances. She's still wonderful.
She is utterly magnificent!, I have the Video of the Norwegian Entry, in Albertville 1992 handoff, where she is riding on the large snow bear and singing .
too funny about the choir...I'd agree...they are very sour...they don't seem pleased that they are singing with Sissel...especially the brunette. I laugh every time I watch this video because she's so playful with the song....but they're dead heads!

@mmwiz It's a love song written by Halfdan Sivertsen. It's written and sung in norwegian dialect from the north of Norway (Bodø). It's a special and nice song, esp in this dialect. Sissel was 22 when this was recorded. Translation doesn't really do justice to the dialect, more like a direct translation of words and the rhyme gets lost. You'll find it at lyricstranslate com/sv/Kjaerlighetsvisa-love-song.html
Holder du af mig, holder jeg af dig alle mine levedage; sommeren var kort, græsset blegner bort, kommer med vor leg tilbage. Hvad du sa' i fjor, husker jeg i år, sidder som en fugl i karmen, - kakker på og slår, synger lidt og spår lykke under solevarmen.
Litli-litli-lu! Hører du mig nu, gutten bag ved birkehejen? Ordene vil gå, - mørket falder på, - kanske kan du vise vejen! Sjo-i, sjo-i, hys, sang jeg om en kys? Nej, det gjorde jeg vist ikke. Hørte du det, du? Kom det ej i hu, - jeg vil lade afbud skikke.
O, godnat, godnat! Drømmen har mig fat, den om dine milde øjne og de tause ord, som af krogen for, - o, de vare så forfløjne! Nu, jeg lukker til. Er det mer, du vil? Tonerne tilbage trille, lokker mig og ler, - ville du mig mer? Aftnen er så varm og stille.
These people shared the same horror for Sissel as the musicians for the first few songs by Sinead O'Conner. These people got her up singing as did the Irish. And, the orchestra sometimes shared space with the Irish musicans as Sissel and Sinead are the same person. Jesus said, "whoever gives a drink to the least of his disciples...I will remember."
The Mormons and the Catholics nursed Sissel wounds until she was strong enough to stand alone. It seems strange that she should turn to them.
This is NOT 1991. This was performed between 1966-1970. Why were all the ladies so sad? Because Sissel had been blinded by a cup of hot water thrown at her by Erin Brocovich who was bidding on the same stage play. Sissel did not take the stairs to her left which was more dangerous. This choir did not call her Sissel nor Janis nor Sinead nor Kate. They knew her as Carol Maywellbelove torture survivor but still a virgin thus the smile. It pays to believe in Jesus - anyone's Jesus.
Sissel has a marvelous voice. This song is so fresh, so amazing !

@bluez56 Actually the lyrics are written by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnsson around 1860. Halfdan Sivertsen's "Kjærlighetsvisa" is a totally different song.

0:18 It's really beautiful when Sissel slightly swings her body with the rhythm before singing.

Yes, June 24, 1969. I believe Mr. iriswigle is just a bit confused - and yet, somehow his insights are amazing!
