To anyone who thinks Simon doesn't like Kurt Nilsen, you seriously misinterpreted his comments. He even said, "Don't interpret this wrongly"; way to listen you guys. He even said, "You are the dark horse to win this"; He wanted Kurt to win because of his beautiful voice. However, he wanted to comment on how, without that competition, Kurt's beautiful voice would have never been heard because they wouldn't see past his face. That is all Simon was saying; and it is damn true and sad.
Simon Cowell is rich! And he's looking for complete packages, you must have looks and sing well enough for production to cover up your boo-boos. Kurt is too good for Simon, he's in a class of his own thank you! And I don't think he wants to live the life of the rich and famous, he wants to enjoy singing. I don't blame him.
I just stumbled across Kurt today and I am amazed by his talent. This is the best version of this song I have ever heard... and I'm old as well. (51) I've heard a lot of singers... he is one of the best. Hope he finds the mainstream and has a brilliant career. He is my new favorite!
Thank you so much for uploading! So gorgeous. I was wondering...might you be willing to send me the mp3 file for this video? I bought the original version already, but this is so stunning, and there's nowhere I can buy it. :( No pressure, of course!
What a beautiful song - beautifully sung by Kurt who has perfect pitch every time - how wonderful is his voice 'in concert'. Not many people sound so good in concert but they are great on CD but Kurt has such a brilliant voice 'in concert'. A totally wonderful singer.
Kurt, I keep expecting a softer, weaker voice from such a gentle looking person, when you start singing all I hear is power, passion, dreamy, deep sweetness. I could listen to you forever!! I swear I drift up up and away with each note you take...!! God bless!
I'm old and have heard a LOT of singers. This guy ranks right up there with the best I've ever heard, His control is amazing. I don't care what others think of his looks (tho' I happen to think he's as cute as they come) he's got what it takes to go all the way. Start a grass roots movement- send his videos to all your friends, get his music out there, and let's show Simon Cowell he's an idiot.
@soozej just from what your wrote if u really r an old person i guess uwould be round boutin ure 40s' or 50s' unless ure just writing thatto get thumbsup
He has all that should matter. An immense talent. But instead, he isn't as easy on the eyes thus meaning he's obviously not good enough to hack it in today's mainstream music scene.
@mizfit51 I know what you mean, but not everyone is crazy about looks. If anything I like him more because he isn't the norm jazzed up and made over singer that you see on the tv. I think he's just perfect the way he is. He's real. He's a normal guy.
Thats the good thing about You Tube, people like this get seen all over the world. The UK is starting to know about this amazing talent as is the rest of the world and he really is talented, what a jem!
Being from the UK, I am aware of Connie etc but only found Declan on here (will check out Lisa) Being from the UK, you tend to disconnect yourself from anywhere else apart from the USA, Australia and Canada etc so You Tube is a great way to see what is out there worldwide. I am suprised that Kurt hasn't made it big here in the UK depending on whether or not that's what he wants anyway, but if he does, reckon it won't be long! Have you heard Kurts Lost Highway, fantastic!
Yes I have, and Willie Nelson was proud to sing it with such a great singer. Fantastic voice there.
Kurt has his family to attend to and is actually happy with the way things are in Norway. I admire him for his laid back attitude, and his aid in Kenya (also on youtube) just shows the great guy he really is.
Hahaha, ugly? Ugliness lies within. A golden painted pile of shit is nevertheless a pile of shit. I guess ugliness means lack of attraction. When was physical appareance ever important, Martin Bormann during WW2 was said to have the face of an angel. Guess this guy can get laid 10 times every consert night if he wants to, have u ever been looked upon by women the way he does in the videos? (And yr mother and yr dog do not count) Bono is not fit for this song, he looks uncomfortable, Andrea is.
I chalk up all the negative comments regarding appearance to differing levels of self development. For some folks, the ability to appreciate the whole package just isn't there. I have read comments here and on other videos from people who GET how a voice can be hauntingly attractive which in turn makes the person singing attractive as well. Most women understand the power of a beautiful male voice and how it can have quite an effect!
What a beautiful version of this song. I'm so amazed by Kurt's voice. It is so pure and never fails to tug at my heartstrings. Add me to the growing list of people who would be thrilled to be able to attend a concert in the U.S.
WOW I have just watched this video - it is just wonderful. Kurt's voice is amazing, his voice is perfect 'live in concert'. Many other singers sound good on cd but when you see them in concert they are not as good but Kurt is perfect all the time. Now my favourite singer of all time. Just waiting for a cd to come all the way to Australia as we can't get them here. I'm so looking forward to it.
4 solo albums, the latest was released in Sweden on Wednesday and is called "Rise To The Occasion" Search a website called cdon from where all his cd's can be bought. He also released an EP with the band he played in before Idol, Fenrik Lane and also a live album with 3 other Norwegian singers, Espen Lind, Alejandro Fuentes and Askil Holm, which is called Hallelujah Live. 1st 3 solo albums are pop/rock, 4th is country/pop. Appearing in Malmø this evening, was on STV4 breakfast show 13th August.
AWESOME!
